On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the risen Jesus—the Lamb who was slain and now lives in victory. In the final message of our "Covered" series, Pastor Josh walks us through the powerful thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation, showing how everything points to Christ. Through the eyewitness account of John and the vision of eternity he was given, we’re reminded of a truth that changes everything: through faith in Jesus, our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Go beyond Sunday with this week’s Side Notes. Adam and Pastor Josh continue the conversation from "Covered" week 4, diving into John 1 and what it means to point people to Jesus, the Lamb of God. They talk through who John the Baptist was, why Jesus was baptized, and why that moment still matters for us today—especially when it comes to inviting others and living out our faith.
In Part 4 of "Covered," we hear John the Baptist declare, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” As Pastor Josh walks us through who John was and why his words matter, we’re reminded that Jesus is the fulfillment of everything Scripture has been pointing toward. And just like John, we get to point people to Him—living out our faith and inviting others to experience the hope we’ve found in Jesus, especially in this Easter season.

This week on Side Notes, Adam sits down with Pastor Tim to unpack the deeper meaning behind atonement and forgiveness. They explore how the Old Testament sacrificial system points to Jesus as the Lamb of God—and what it truly means for our sin to be removed, not just covered. Plus, they dive into fascinating questions about Sheol, the Day of Atonement, and why reading the Bible can raise challenging (but important) questions.
What’s the difference between sin being covered and completely removed? In Part 3 of "Covered," Pastor Tim explores the Day of Atonement and why the Old Testament sacrificial system was never meant to be the final solution. He helps us discover how everything points to Jesus—the Lamb of God—who takes away the sin of the world.

From pocket pepperoni rolls to red paint splattered across the stage, Adam and Pastor Josh take you behind the scenes of week two of our "Covered" series. They dive into the weight of the Passover and the striking visual connection between an ancient Egyptian doorframe and the cross of Christ. It’s a raw look at why God’s justice is actually His greatest act of love.
What does the blood on the doorposts in Exodus have to do with the cross of Jesus? Continuing our "Covered" series, Pastor Josh explores the first Passover and the powerful moment when God spared His people because of the blood of a spotless lamb. This historic night wasn’t just about Israel’s deliverance from Egypt—it was pointing forward to Jesus, our true Passover Lamb. Through the blood on the door Israel was spared; through Christ’s blood on the cross we can be saved.

Dive into this week’s episode of Side Notes with Adam and Pastor Josh as we unpack the story of Adam and Eve and the power of God’s covering. From the heartbreak of sin to the hope of redemption, we explore connections you might have missed—from Eden’s thorns to the crown of Christ. Follow the thread from the first act of covering in the Garden to the ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
Kicking off our new Easter series, "Covered," Pastor Josh explores Genesis 3 and humanity’s instinct to hide and cover our sin. When Adam and Eve’s attempt fell short, God provided a covering of His own—an act that points forward to the greater sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

What happens when we stop trusting our bank accounts and start trusting the Provider? Adam and our Founding Pastor, Tim Haring, dig into the "spiritual blindness" of wealth and why our possessions fight for a seat on the throne of our hearts. From humbling stories in the Philippines to miraculous provision in the early days of The Ridge, this is an honest look at breaking the grip of anxiety to find a security that actually holds.
Pastor Tim wraps up our "Dollars & Sense" series by asking a powerful question: are we faith-filled or fearful when it comes to our finances? Teaching from Matthew 6:19–34, he unpacks Jesus’ words about treasure, trust, and worry, and what it really means to seek first the kingdom of God.

What happens when a sermon on giving is met with a microphone meltdown and an "apple math" error? On this episode of Side Notes, Adam and Pastor Josh embrace the chaos of Sunday morning to unpack the deep research behind the "dollars and cents" of the Bible. Moving past legalism, they discuss the shift from "having to" give to the "get to" mindset of radical generosity. It’s a candid look at the theology of the tithe, the reality of live-church mishaps, and why the New Testament standard is more about the heart than the calculator.
Have to… or get to? The way we answer that question changes everything about generosity. Continuing "Dollars & Sense," Pastor Josh explores what Scripture really says about tithes, offerings, and cheerful giving—and why giving to God is meant to be a blessing, not a burden.

Is it time to rethink your relationship with money? This week on Side Notes, Adam and Pastor Josh discuss the shift from ownership to stewardship and why managing God's resources is the path to freedom. They share personal stories and "side notes" on the series kickoff, including a moment of realization that Pastor Josh had at the checkout counter. We’re unpacking what it actually looks like to trade financial stress for God’s perspective.
Money shapes more of our lives than we often realize. Kicking off our "Dollars & Sense" series, Pastor Josh invites us to consider a foundational question: are we owners, or are we stewards? Rooted in Genesis, he points us to God as Creator and Owner of all things and encourages us to rethink how we handle what’s been placed in our care. Because how we view money ultimately shapes how we use it.
