Imagine yourself being a marathon runner, buying the best running shoes and the right moisture-wicking gear. You download all the training apps and follow all the latest fitness influencers on Instagram. You sit in your recliner wearing that gear, watching the training videos and sipping on a protein shake, yelling, "I believe in running. Running is my life." But that doesn't make you a runner. Not until you get out of the recliner, open the door, hit the pavement, and start running. This is exactly what the author of Hebrews is talking about in chapter 11.

If you have faith, you still need to fuel it. What you fuel your faith with matters. Low-grade fuel reduces faith to low-grade results, but high-octane fuel empowers a high-octane faith. Come discover what some high-octane boosters you can add to the fuel that feeds your faith. This could be the message that gives your faith the boost it needs.

Faith requires fuel. Without fueling your faith it just won't take you anywhere. But if you will keep fueling your faith, it can take you on an amazing journey. As we launch this series, we will begin with identifying what is required to have an amazing faith and how you can acquire what is required. "Amazing Faith" isn't limited to a few, it's the type of faith God wants everyone to have.

Has fear ever had control over you? Fear can be disguised as stress or anxiety and if you don't gain control over it, it will control you. Fear is a thief that robs your joy and your peace. Fear relegates you to survival mode. If you've been there, or worse are there right now, we will see how to turn to God with your fear and see how He will do more than just set you free from your fear. He will even use you to set others free from their fear, if you will have faith and follow God's plan to be set free.

We've all been there. . . "I just don't know what to do." It's a helpless feeling. Even worse, it's a hopeless feeling. But it is in these times that we have two specific things we should be doing. If you are there now or want to be prepared for a future time when you don't know what to do, this is the sermon for you!

Failure is pain that cuts to the heart. Failing can make us feel like a failure. If you’ve been there, it’s important to understand that failure doesn’t have to be final. Even when you feel like you can’t recover, even if you can’t. . . God can! Ever since the first sin, God has been in the recovery business. You might be surprised to discover one of the spiritual giants from our Bible, Moses, failed. But his failure wasn’t final. Get some hope and encouragement as you listen to discover that “Failure Isn’t Final.”

Everyone deals with setbacks. It's not a modern-day issue; in fact, the issue of setbacks has existed dating back to Adam and Eve. If you've ever felt like your shortcomings are holding you back from God's purpose for your life, this message is for you. This weekend, we will look at one of the most famous setbacks from the Old Testament and why we shouldn't give up no matter the setback because God is the King of comebacks!  Join us as we launch the new series.

Regeneration can mean so many things. Cars have regenerative braking, our skin regenerates cells daily, and even the human liver can regrow to full size after losing 75% of its mass. Regeneration is the process of replacing what has been lost or restoring what has stopped working. Spiritually speaking, regeneration is the healing work on our spirit. Everyone could benefit from experiencing this “re:gen.” Join us as we explore how to find hope and healing for what is no longer working in your life.

The church isn’t a building; it’s the group of Believers who gather together. As a church, we have a mission strategy to achieve our purpose of “Reaching Seekers and Building Believers.” Listen in to discover four reasons to “Join the Mission.” You’ll be encouraged, inspired, and challenged.

There is a time to learn more about prayer and a time to put what we learn into practice. The best way to improve our prayer life is to practice prayer. This service will look and feel different than our normal services as we make room for prayer throughout our service. We desire is for you to experience something new and to understand more about how to P.R.A.Y.

Praying isn't a simple formula that brings instant results. The length of your prayers doesn't determine God's timeliness. But the time you spend in prayer will determine how faithful you will be when God's timing is different than your timing or His answers are different than the answers you want. Persevering in prayer unlocks the ability to grow your faith even when it is being put to the test.

If there is one person we should model our prayer life after, it would be the one who understood it the most. Jesus prayed powerful prayers. Those prayers didn’t just move God to action, but it moved people to recognize the relationship our Heaven Father wants to have with them. If we are going to make the most of our prayer life, we need to understand how Jesus prayed, what He taught about praying and use it as model for our prayers. Listen in as Pastor Wil unpacks how to pray more like Jesus.

While it seems like nearly everyone prays at one time or another it also seems like people lack so much understanding of prayer and its multifaceted purposes. Is there a right time, a right tone, a right temperament that God requires before He listens to our prayers? Do we just submit our prayer requests and wait in line for God to answer? Does prayer even make a difference? People have more questions about prayer than they understand it. Join us as we begin to unpack how to develop a balanced prayer life.

When navigating the ups and downs of marriage, we often allow negative attitudes to creep into our relationship that can cause couples to get disconnected and isolated from one another. However, there are antidotes for those negative attitudes that will ultimately deepen and strengthen our marriage and honor God. In this last week of our series, we will examine those four negative attitudes that destroy relationships and the four antidotes that will enable us to thrive in a "For Better or Worse" marriage.

In navigating the ups and downs of marriage, one of the main sources of conflict is authority issues. Who calls the shots? God always works through authority, and we all have our assumptions about that. This week, we will unpack what the Bible says about authority and how we can understand authority in marriage, God’s way.
