Meltdowns | Peter Denies Jesus | Mark Coulter

Have you ever blown it majorly? Like you made a promise with conviction that you'd see it through, but then the bottom fell out and you were left stunned. That did not go down like how you thought it would, how you dreamed and hoped it would. Peter gets it; he knows your pain. Listen in as Pastor Mark shares how Peter gets back on his feet in this sermon in our Meltdown series.Sometimes we might think the people found in the Bible always had life figured out. Did they ever have struggles or tough times? What if we told you they not only had struggles but many of them literally had personal meltdowns!

Climbing Higher | Are You In Or Out? | Jessica Zawalich

As Jesus comes to the end of His teaching, He brings us to an important decision: are you in or out? Because there’s no in between. Half-hearted followers actually don’t exist.

Climbing Higher | You Get What You Give | Mark Coulter

Judging. We have whole TV shows dedicated to judging, whole archetypal characters who embody the judgy attitude. But if we’re honest, we all have a streak in us to make judgements about all kinds of things: is this person safe, is that menu item worth trying, is she really wearing that?! Not all judging is bad, but how do we tell the difference? Jesus stepped up on a mountainside and delivered the best sermon ever.

Passion | Missional Imagination | Mark Coulter

Count On It | I Promise… to Love You | Jessica Coulter

We’ve all done something and then seen that look in people’s eyes. You know the one, where some of the joy leaves, the smile thins, and a cool draft blows in. And it seems that some of their love for you gets caught up like fall leaves in that draft and blows away. Human beings struggle with loving well, but God doesn’t. He promises that nothing in you and nothing outside of you will interrupt or intercept His love for you. I promise. How many of us have heard that statement but the promise became a broken promise. I promise that I will come to your game. I promise to be married to you forever. I promise it won't happen again. The hurt, pain, and discouragement are real. Can we trust anyone to fulfill their promises to us? The answer is, yes! Did you know that God will never break His promises to you? What are those promises that you can trust Him for? Join us for this series as we look at four promises from God that He makes to each one of us.Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST).
