Pastor Barret Moore Pastor Barret Moore continues our Revelation Part 2 series exploring Revelation 10–11 and the bittersweet message of the gospel. As we look toward the return of Christ, we’re reminded that the light of Jesus shines in the darkness, and the darkness will never overcome it. This message challenges us to live with eternity in mind, recognize the urgency of sharing the gospel, and faithfully steward our time, resources, and relationships for the glory of God. The world may be broken, and our time on earth may be limited, but there is still hope in Jesus. God is patient, calling people to repentance, and He has called us to be His hands and feet in a world that desperately needs His light. Scripture: Revelation 10–11

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam continues our Revelation Part 2 series exploring how prayer is an act of worship and how God’s trumpet judgments serve as warnings to turn back to Him. Everyone worships something, but when life gets difficult, do we reach for God or cling to things that cannot save us? Scripture: Revelation 8–9

Pastor Tex Rule Pastor Tex continues our Revelation Part 2 series exploring Revelation 7 and what it means to live ready, diligent, and faithful as we wait for the return of Jesus. Scripture: Revelation 7:1–17

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam Bowers continues our Revelation Part 2 series, exploring Revelation 6 and the opening of the seven seals. As the Lamb opens each seal, John sees images of conquest, war, famine, death, persecution, and cosmic judgment. While Christians have different perspectives on how these visions will ultimately be fulfilled, the central message remains clear: God is sovereign, Jesus is in control, and His purposes will be accomplished. We don't need to have every detail of prophecy figured out to trust God. In the midst of suffering, uncertainty, evil, and a world that can feel out of control, we can remember that nothing happens outside of God's authority. Revelation also points us to the seriousness of sin, the reality of God's judgment, and the incredible grace of Jesus, who gave His life so that we could be reconciled to God. Ultimately, the question isn't just "how" will Revelation be fulfilled, but "who" is in control. The answer is Jesus, the Lamb.

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam Bowers continues our Revelation Part 2 series exploring Revelation 5 and what it means to trust the Lamb, trust God's destination, and worship Him in the detours of life. Scripture: Revelation 5

Pastor John Richardson Pastor John Richardson kicked off our Revelation Part 2 series exploring The Door to the Throne Room and the heavenly vision of Revelation 4. As John is invited through a door into heaven, he sees the reality that changes how we see everything else: God is on the throne. This message reminds us that in the midst of suffering, uncertainty, temptation, and a world that can feel out of control, we can look to the throne and trust in the holiness, power, and sovereignty of God. Through Jesus, the door to God's presence has been opened, and we can approach the throne of grace because the Lamb is worthy. Scripture: Revelation 4

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam concludes our Jonah series, exploring what happens when God’s grace doesn’t feel fair. Through Jonah 4, we see how bitterness, comfort, and resentment can keep us from joining God in His work of reaching broken people. God challenges Jonah—and us—to see people not simply by their past or what they deserve, but through His compassion and grace. Scripture: Jonah 3:5–10; Jonah 4:1–11; Exodus 34:6–7; Romans 12:17–21; 1 Peter 4:10

Pastor Kyle Howard Pastor Kyle continues our Jonah series as we finish Jonah 3 and look at the repentance of Nineveh and God’s merciful response. Nineveh’s story shows us what genuine repentance looks like: humility, personal ownership of sin, and a willingness to turn from our evil ways. More importantly, we see that repentance doesn’t begin with us finding God, it’s made possible because God pursues us.

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam continues our series in Jonah exploring how God is already at work in the lives of people around us, and why we don't need to be afraid to share Jesus. Jonah was a reluctant witness who brought a message to Nineveh with little grace or enthusiasm. Yet God had already been preparing the people to hear His message. Their response reminds us that we don't know what God is doing behind the scenes, and we don't have to carry the entire burden of someone's journey of faith. Understand the journey of faithLook for "third places" where we can build relationships and share JesusPray for unlikely people—even those we don't expect to turn to GodShare a message that includes both truth and graceThe Gospel came to you on its way to someone else. God is already working. Our job is to faithfully go, love people, pray, and share the good news of Jesus. Scripture: Jonah 3:1-5

Pastor Andrew Miller Pastor Andrew continues our Jonah series exploring how God responds to the contradictions in our lives with grace: providing unexpected deliverance, exposing hidden inconsistencies, and inviting us into ongoing repentance. Scripture: Jonah 1:17–2:10

Pastor Kyle Howard Pastor Kyle continues our Jonah series exploring the tragedies of saying "Nope" to God, the consequences of disobedience, and how God graciously leads us back to "Yes." Through Jonah's rebellion, the storm at sea, and God's pursuit of both Jonah and the sailors, we see that our disobedience affects others, but God's mercy is greater than our rebellion. This message challenges us to stop running, embrace God's heart for people, and trust Him with our next step of obedience.

Pastor Adam Bowers Pastor Adam kicked off our new Jonah series by exploring Jonah's decision to run from God's call, and how we often do the same through excuses, distractions, and disobedience instead of trusting and obeying God.  Scripture: Jonah 1:1–3

Pastor Kyle Howard Pastor Kyle Howard continues our Revelation series by exploring Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea and what it reveals about our own hearts today. What does it mean to be "lukewarm"? Was Jesus simply calling for more passion, or was He pointing to something much deeper? Pastor Kyle examines the historical setting of Laodicea and how a culture of self-sufficiency had slowly led the church away from daily dependence on Christ.

Pastor Adam Bowers In this message, Pastor Adam continues our Revelation series exploring Jesus' letter to the church in Philadelphia and what it teaches us about faithfulness, perseverance, and the authority of Christ. Even though the believers in Philadelphia faced rejection and persecution, Jesus reminded them that He is the true gatekeeper, that He knows their struggles personally, and that He rewards those who remain faithful.
