Harvest Worship | Shawn Gray | Welcome to Harvest and the season of Lent. Our Lenten journey together reminds us that it is okay to feel the ache and the longing for more of God.

Come hungry, friends. He is faithful to fill us.

The Harvest Podcast | Episode 14 | Holy Hunger: Hunger for Holiness |In this episode of The Harvest Podcast, host Shawn Gray is joined by Rev. Pierce Drake, Lead Pastor of Covenant Church at Creekside, for a conversation about how God’s holiness is revealed throughout the story of Scripture – in creation, in the tragedy of the fall, and ultimately in God’s work of redemption. Together they explore how the beauty and order of creation point to a holy Creator, how the fall exposes the seriousness of sin and our separation from Him, and how in Jesus we see God’s holiness and mercy meet as He restores what was broken.

The Harvest Podcast | Episode 13 | Holy Hunger: Hunger for God |In this episode of The Harvest Podcast, host Shawn Gray sits down with Pastor of NextGen Ministries Mark Swayze to explore what it means to cultivate a “Holy Hunger” during Lent — a deep, daily longing for God that reshapes our desires and reorders our lives.Together they unpack Matthew 5:6, the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness, and the truth that surrender isn’t a one-time decision but a rhythmic, lifelong posture of dependence on the Bread of Life.If your soul feels stuffed with lesser things, this conversation is an invitation to come back to the table and feast on Christ alone.

Harvest Worship | Mark Sorensen |  We are so grateful that you have come to worship with us today. As we begin the new year, we are taking some time to discover what God’s Word says about how we steward every gift God has given us — our experiences, our gifts, our resources and our lives. Jesus said we are the salt of the earth — created to bring flavor, preserve what is good and add value wherever God places us. But salt only makes a difference when it’s poured out. So often, life shakes us through change, loss or challenge, and we wonder why. What if the shaking isn’t meant to break us, but to deploy us? In this series, we’ll discover how God uses those moments to grow our faith, reveal the treasure within us and pour His grace through us into a world that desperately needs it.

Traditional Worship | Karen Tyler |Throughout the Advent season, we celebrate the astounding truth that God didn’t stay distant, He came near. In Jesus, God took on flesh and entered our world to be with us, in our waiting, in Our World, in Our World and in our world. Each week of the Advent season invites us to rediscover what that means: that hope is possible because He is with us in our waiting; that peace can reign even when life feels out of control; that joy fills our hearts as we celebrate His presence; and that love came down to shine light into the darkness. Through the birth of Jesus, we see that Emmanuel, God with us, is still with us today.

Mark Swayze and youth interns Noa Razen and Austin Bass for a rich conversation as we close out our study of the Gospel of John. Together they explore Jesus’ post-resurrection interactions — His tenderness with Mary, His patience with Thomas, His restoration of Peter, and His calling to the disciples — unpacking what these encounters reveal about a Savior who meets us in our doubt, grief, failure and calling. It’s a hopeful and heartfelt finale pointing us to the risen Christ who still meets His people today.
