Sometimes in life we are presented with questions we aren't prepared to answer. And when we find ourselves facing tough questions, we can find ourselves scrambling for an answer. But here's the thing: where or what we turn to with our questions matters immensely. Because questions create consequences since answers ultimately lead to actions. So the big question we must answer first is: "Where should we turn with our questions?" Well, thankfully God hasn't left us in the dark to figure this out on our own. And the Apostle Paul tells us exactly where we should look for answers to life's tough questions.

Psalm 34:19 gives us both a guarantee and a promise. The guarantee isn't necessarily something we get excited about: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous." Yeah. None of us are shouting thanks about that one. Yet, all of us are aware of just how true that is. Thankfully, the verse doesn't end there. That may be the guarantee, but thankfully, God finishes with a promise, "But the Lord delivers him out of them all." Join us as Pastor Randy explores how even though none of us are exempt from troubles, even followers of Jesus, we can all find hope in the promise that God will see us safely through them all.

Than and Megan Graffam from Hope Project International stopped by to tell us about all the amazing things God has been doing since they were last with us. It was an incredible time celebrating the goodness of God and what He can accomplish in the world when His people choose to engage in the ministry of generosity.

One of the greatest influences in what we live like is the people we live with. Yet, so often in our discipleship to Jesus we put more emphasis on practices than people. We think a lot about the things we do or don't do, but aren't always as intentional regarding the people we do things with. This can be dangerous, because as pastor and author Craig Groeschel writes, "Living the right life is almost impossible if you have the wrong friends." For this reason, God has given us one of the greatest gifts ever...church! Check out this week's message to find out how being a part of a church community positions us to be helped by others, and to help others, as we grow in our discipleship to Jesus.

What if the greatest threat to your intimacy with God is actually your mindset towards the things you're doing for God? In this final sermon of our series walking through the parable of the Prodigal Son, we're going to see what happens when the older brother returns from the fields to find everyone celebrating the return of his younger brother. And how he responds actually reveals a lot about how he viewed himself and how he viewed his father. From this, we're going to find a warning against falling into two incredibly dangerous, and unfortunately, very common pitfalls we can experience in our own relationship with our Heavenly Father that we must avoid at all cost in order to protect our intimacy with Him.

Sometimes we want to go to God, but there are certain things holding us back. Maybe pride is preventing us from repenting. Or maybe, it is a feeling that we're unworthy that makes us fear we're unwelcome. Well, in this next message in our "Falling" series, we're going to observe three things the prodigal son does as he returns home and the three things the father gives him in response. And in this, we're going to see why when sin leaves us broken and bruised there's only one place for us to go...back home to our Heavenly Father.

Sin never produces what it promises. This sums up the younger son's experience after leaving home and squandering his wealth on wild and reckless living. After falling away from his father, he now experiences everything falling apart in his life. Join us as we discuss and discover what to do when our sin and foolish choices bring about pain and destruction in our lives. Things may feel hopeless. We may feel helpless. But in reality, help is one turn away.

In the second part of our series "Falling," we being our journey through Jesus' telling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. In this sermon we'll discover the first of three falls the prodigal son experiences and how it applies to our lives and relationship with God. We're going to discover and discuss what happens when we pursue autonomy from God instead of living in relationship with God and under the authority of God.

What kind of people does Jesus welcome? In Part 1 of our new series, Falling, Pastor Thomas-Steele sets the stage for one of Jesus’ most famous stories—the parable of the prodigal son. Before Jesus ever tells the story, Luke tells us that sinners and tax collectors were drawing near to Him while the Pharisees stood back and grumbled. In “Wide Receiver,” we discover the heart of Jesus toward people who are far from God: Jesus gives access to the outcast, receives sinners in order to restore sinners, and calls His followers to celebrate whenever grace brings someone home. This message challenges both the rebellious and the religious to examine how we respond to the grace of God—and reminds us that Jesus gladly welcomes anyone who comes to Him in repentance. The sinners drew near. The Pharisees stood back. And Jesus was ready to receive them all. Join us as we begin Falling and prepare to see the story of the prodigal son in a whole new way.

Who is setting the pace of your life? In this message, Pastor Edward Arias unpacks Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 to take His yoke, learn from Him, and discover a different way to live. In a culture that constantly pushes us toward hurry, anxiety, comparison, and control, Jesus invites us to walk at His pace instead. Learn how to recognize the warning signs that you may be carrying a weight God never gave you, change what is shaping your mind, and surrender your direction, timing, and decisions to Jesus. You don’t have to keep living exhausted. Take His yoke. Learn His rhythm. Walk at His pace.

Jesus’ invitation is simple: “Follow Me.” But following Him means more than believing—it means choosing His way over our own. In this message, Pastor Randy challenges us to examine who we’re really following in our everyday decisions, relationships, conflicts, and circumstances. Drawing from Jesus’ call to His disciples, Matthew 16:24, John 15, and Jesus’ final words to Peter in John 21, we’re reminded that following Jesus requires daily surrender, denying ourselves, abiding in Him, and trusting Him with the outcome. The question is simple: In every area of your life, who are you following—and what will your response be when Jesus says, “Follow Me”?

In part two of our Summer Playlist series, Mr. Dick Holland challenges us to consider a powerful question: What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? In “Your Legacy Will Never Be Complete Until You Hear the Rooster Crow,” he looks at Peter’s denial of Jesus and shows how failure, brokenness, repentance, and grace became part of the process God used to transform Peter.  Your worst moment doesn’t have to be the end of your story. Through humility, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration, Jesus can take what feels broken and use it to build a legacy that lasts. Mr. Holland reminds us that God’s grace allows us to begin again—and write a final chapter built on Christ.

In “Real Revival,” Pastor John Ware challenges us to rethink what revival really looks like. Acts 2 shows us that revival isn’t just powerful moments—it’s the result of people fully devoted to following Jesus. This message explores what it means to count the cost, repent, reorient your life around Jesus, and be refined as His disciple. If you’re ready to move beyond simply going to church and become a disciple who makes disciples, this message is for you.

What happens when God tells you to move—but He doesn’t tell you where you’re going, how it will work, when it will happen, or why He’s asking? We often say we trust God, but many times, we want clarity before we’ll comply and assurance before we’ll obey. We want God to explain the plan, guarantee the outcome, and answer every question before we take the first step. But faith does not require having all the answers. Faith is trusting the One who called you enough to obey Him—even when the evidence is missing and the path is unclear. Through the stories of Moses, Gideon, and Abraham, Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges us to stop allowing our questions to become excuses for delayed obedience. You may not know where, how, when, or why—but when you know Who is leading you, you can trust Him enough to do it anyway.

What is Jesus worth to you? A lot of people want the rewards of following Jesus without the responsibility of surrendering to Him. They want salvation without sacrifice, blessing without obedience, and a Savior who never asks them to change. But Jesus never called us to simply like Him—He called us to follow Him. In “Choose Your Treasure,” Pastor Thomas-Steele Carr challenges us to count the cost of discipleship and decide what we value most. Like Moses, we must choose between the temporary pleasures of this world and the eternal treasure of knowing Christ. Following Jesus may cost you comfort, approval, relationships, opportunities, and even the life you had planned—but whatever He asks you to surrender could never compare to what you gain in Him. Following Jesus is costly. Do it anyway—because Christ is worth the cost.
