The first step in knowing God is unlearning everything you think you know. In Exodus 7–10, God doesn’t just free His people from Egypt—He dismantles Egypt’s entire way of seeing the world. Through the Ten Plagues, He reveals Himself by unmaking their reality and tearing down the false gods they had trusted for meaning, security, and control. In this message, we'll explore our response to the God who hides in plain sight, kills our "gods," and thrusts our lives into emptiness and chaos... so...
What if Jesus said to you, “You don’t yet look as happy as I mean you to be”? In a culture drowning in distraction, hurry, and exhaustion, Sabbath is God’s radical invitation to freedom. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, and real-life stories, this sermon explores what it means to stop, rest, delight, and worship. You’ll discover how Sabbath is not just a day off, but a life-giving practice that helps us get our souls back, resist the gods of productivity, and step into the joy God inten...
What if the very thing your soul is craving isn’t more achievement, more hustle, or more scrolling—but rest? Speaking to our modern exhaustion, is Sabbath unreachable? Is it wellness for the privileged, legalism, or a Jewish thing? It’s actually about freedom, formation, and healing. What might change if we actually lived into this rhythm? Whether you’re feeling burned out, spiritually hungry, or just curious about what Jesus has to say about rest, this message will help you step into...
You can't stop working. Something won't let you rest. The Book of Exodus names that "something" - and shows you what God wants to do to break its power in your life. This sermon unpacks Israel’s slavery in Egypt and God’s strange way of training them in freedom through manna and Sabbath. You’ll see that Sabbath isn’t self-care. It’s resistance. We’ll uncover what’s really keeping you from rest—and point you to Jesus, the true bread from heaven, whose finished work on the cross means you do...
Ever feel like following Jesus is making your life, not better, but worse? In this message from Exodus 5-6, we dive into one of the most honest and unsettling parts of the Bible—where God's people accept His promise of salvation, and then their suffering immediately gets worse. Moses shows up with God's message of freedom, the Israelites worship and believe... and then Pharaoh makes their slave labor brutally harder. The people who were just praising God now curse Moses. Even Moses starts qu...
Most people know God by a title… but did you know He has a personal name? In Exodus 3–4, Moses meets God in the wilderness and dares to ask: “Who are You?” The answer — “I AM” — is as mysterious as it is life-changing. This sermon explores the moment God reveals His Name, why it matters more than we realize, and how it changes the way we see ourselves. You’ll discover why knowing God’s Name is about more than pronunciation or theology — it’s about identity, intimacy, and trust. Whether you ...
Who are you—really? It’s one of the hardest questions to answer. For Moses, it took eighty years. For many of us, it still hangs unresolved. In Exodus 2, we follow Moses’ journey from prince to murderer to nobody in the wilderness. Along the way, we see how God uses the long, slow work of identity formation—and how the question “Who am I?” echoes through Scripture until it finds its answer in Jesus.
We all live by a story. Some give life. Others take it. The book of Exodus isn’t just about an ancient people escaping Egypt. It’s about us. It’s about you. It’s the story of being enslaved to a system that slowly grinds you down, the story of a God who shows up in the middle of it, and the story of discovering who you were always meant to be. It’s about realizing that the way out of slavery is also the way in—to freedom, identity, faith, and hope. For thousands of years, people have turne...
Philippians 4:4–9 explores how Paul’s (the apostle’s) prison-saturated words invite us to rejoice in the Lord’s nearness, release our anxieties through prayer, and rewire our inner life with God’s peace. With much of the West marked by unrest and distraction, come see how biblical meditation, neuroscience insights, a trip to prison, and an ancient inscription from Phrygia guard our hearts and transform us to be carriers of His peace in an anxious generation.
Money makes big promises: “I’ll make you happy. I’ll keep you safe. I’ll give your life meaning.” But money is a liar. In Matthew 6, Jesus pulls back the curtain on money’s hidden power. He shows us that our treasures aren’t neutral—they tether themselves to our hearts, shaping what we love, how we live, and even what we see as real. In this message, we wrestle with Jesus’ uncomfortable (but healing) words: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” What is money doing t...
Your doubts might be the place Jesus wants to meet you. We’re not the type of church to have a patron saint, but if we did, it might be “Doubting Thomas.” We live in an age of unrelenting doubt. It infects and affects us all. Thomas heard the resurrection story and flatly declared, “I will not believe.” This is the story of how Jesus meets us in our doubts. Whether you’ve been hurt by faith, wrestled with hard questions, or just aren’t sure what you believe anymore, this conversation ...
In a world plagued by anxiety, depression, loneliness, and a 'connection crisis', what does faith have to offer our cultural moment? Biblically, transformation is not a linear approach, but a multi-faceted journey that involves our inner and outer life of faith. If you've ever wondered if there's a more holistic approach to what we're facing, this is the sermon for you. By surfacing mental health and faith myths, we find hope in biblical realism, insights from an award winning b...
Why, God? How do we make sense of this? Where are You? In the wake of tragedy, the usual answers fall flat. This message turns to one of the oldest and rawest stories in the Bible—the story of Job. It’s unfiltered grief. At times, it’s hard to hear. And that’s exactly the point. Job doesn’t offer easy answers. But he does offer us a path through the pain. A way to keep wrestling. A reason to keep hoping. We may not get the answers we’re looking for. But we meet a God who steps into our gr...
In the final message of our P.R.A.Y. series, we see that yielding is a battle posture, rooted in surrender and grounded in God’s Word. To fight like Jesus means giving God our feelings, our desires, and — ultimately — our trust. Join us to recover intimacy, identity, and our spiritual resiliency by Jesus teaching us how to pray.
Following our P.R.A.Y. acronym, we zoom in on A; asking. Through simplicity and dependency, we can experience the heart soaring power of prayer. But, what do we do with prayers that go unanswered? The Psalms provide us examples of how, when we process with God, we invite God into the process. We can bring our agony to the Almighty. In asking, we come to trust that God gives us what we would have asked for if we knew everything He knows.
What is the Lord’s Prayer about? According to a few scholars, it teaches us a way of praying in two distinct parts: (1) Gets us in on God’s World & (2) Gets God in on our world. But, what does that mean? How does that happen? With words like ‘hallow, kingdom, and will, ’ do these words have any bearing on our life today? Join us as we look at how the earth largest’s camera can help us see the Lord’s Prayer the way Jesus saw it.
Philip Yancey said: “Prayer is the act of seeing reality from God’s point of view”. It’s noteworthy, Jesus’ disciples never asked him the proper way to heal the sick, order a church, teach the Scripture, or engage the world socially. They did ask him — ‘teach us to pray’. Many of us have questions and fears about prayer. Join us as we explore why don’t we pray, what prayer isn’t, and what prayer is. Mainly, to start, it begins with seeing and pausing.
The New Testament is where everything comes together - the long-awaited arrival of Jesus, the growth of the church, and the hope of a new creation. In this message, we’ll map out the story of the New Testament, introduce the main books and themes, and show how the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus fulfill everything the Old Testament promised. Whether you’re starting fresh or rediscovering old truths, you’ll see how the New Testament invites you to be part of God’s ongoing story.
The Old Testament is the foundation of the Bible - full of sweeping stories, promises, kings, prophets, poetry, and hope. But how does it all fit together? In this message, we’ll explore the big picture of the Old Testament, tracing the story from creation to covenant to kingdom to exile. You’ll walk away understanding not just the major events and books, but also the heartbeat behind it all: a God who is relentlessly pursuing the people He created and loves.
What if the thing you’ve been chasing… has actually been chasing you? The journey of Psalm 23 ends not with our searching, God's lavish welcome home. A seat at His table. A feast in the presence of your enemies. A life marked by goodness, mercy, and deep belonging. This message explores the longing behind every longing—the ache to be home with God. It’s about rest, joy, and a Shepherd who won't stop coming after you until you're safe at home. 💭 Maybe the only thing keeping you from God's g...
