A Call For Courage | Matthew 10:1-33

Do You See The Harvest? | Matthew 9:35-38
Do you see the harvest? It’s all around you. So many people longing for answers, hungry for truth, ready for the beauty and authenticity of Jesus’ message to disrupt and heal their lives. So many, caught up in a whirlwind of anxiety, ready for ...
Brand New in Every Way | Matthew 9:14-34
It was brand new in every way. Jesus’ message and behavior didn’t fit into the religious categories or systems of his day and it doesn’t fit into ours either. It didn’t kneel to man- made traditions and it most definitely couldn’t be contained ...
The Depth of Jesus’ Authority | Matthew 9:1-13
Theirs was a life of isolation, shame and fear. One man was paralyzed and labeled as having done something to deserve it; the other was wealthy but written off as a sell-out and traitor. Matthew 9:1-13 is the story of how Jesus meets both of th...
Costly Discipleship | Matthew 8:18-34

Authority to Restore | Matthew 8:1-17
It’s as if you can still hear the applause. Jesus has been on a mountainside teaching in a way that demonstrates authority like no other and the crowds are amazed. Now, in Matthew 8:1-17, as he comes down from that mountain, huge crowds still f...
The Event that Changed Everything | Mark 15:40-16:8
We all have events in our lives that are so monumental, they change everything. Nothing is more central to Christianity than the resurrection of Jesus – it is the event that changed everything. If that’s true, what exactly does it change for yo...
Good Friday | Mark 15:24-32
On Good Friday, we remember and reflect on why the cross is central to our faith. The cross was always God’s plan, foretold long before Jesus’ death. On the cross, Jesus bore our sin and the weight of our separation so that our relationship wit...
Heaven’s Perspective| Revelation 4-5
A heavenly vision that brings clarity and strength. A heavenly reality meant to shape our present experience – especially when facing circumstances and trials. Revelation 4-5 pulls back the curtain to answer some of the deepest questions of the...
The Transforming Presence of Jesus | Revelation 3:14-22
Have you ever had a friend call you out on something? Out of love, they refused to stay quiet. It wasn’t easy to hear in the moment but it brought you to a place of healthy reassessment - seeing things about yourself you hadn’t seen before - an...
Jesus Wants You to Overcome | Revelation 3:1-13
Jesus wants you to overcome; to stand firm in the call he’s given you. He wants you to persevere in the face of obstacles and opposition. Revelation 3:1-13 is proof of it. Written in letter form, his words are personal and prophetic. They cut t...
A Conversation about House Group
House Groups typically meet in homes two to three times a month across the county, where we spend time together, often sharing food, discussing the Scriptures, praying, and looking for opportunities to serve one another and the city. They are v...
The Shepherd’s Voice | Revelation 2:12-29

A Breathtaking Encounter | Revelation 1
Are you ever tempted to despair? It could be due to opposition, persecution or oppression – it just seems like darkness is winning. Do you ever wonder, “God, where are you? What are you doing? What’s going on?” Revelation 1 answers those questi...
All Power | Luke 7:11-17
Christians often say God is “all-powerful,” but what do we really mean by that? In the deep ache of suffering and loss, God’s omnipotence can feel confusing or even troubling. If God is good and all-powerful, why is there death, pain, and evil?...
Beautiful Surrender | Acts 19
What is powerful enough to cause us to walk away from what once defined us? To give up what brought comfort, success or control? Acts 19 is the story of individuals caught up in magical, spiritual, sexual and cultural powers, who come face to f...
A Spirit-Dependent Church | Acts 13:1-12
The church in the ancient city of Antioch was diverse, sacrificial and mission-minded. For centuries, they have been an example of what it looks like to be a Spirit dependent church. Acts 13:1-12 brings us behind the scenes to not only show us ...
An Empowered Life | Acts 6-7
