In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says "Do not judge," yet He also calls us to judge correctly. In this message from Matthew 7:1–12, Andy shows how to discern rightly without condemning: Check your own heart first, ask God for wisdom, and treat others the way you want to be treated.

Matt walks through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 on birds and lilies, showing how these ordinary, fleeting creatures point to a God who cares deeply even for what seems small or temporary. He challenges us to trade worry for trust—seeking God's kingdom first, loving God and others, and remembering His faithfulness in every season.

This week Pastor Brent continues our Deep & Wide series with a focus on our new Grow Groups launching this fall. After a brief message, Brent is joined by Matt and Pastor Kyle for some additional Q&A about how these new groups will work and how to sign up.

In the first message of our series Deep and Wide, Pastor Brent shares how Grow Groups and the new Sending Service will shape this pivotal fall season at Ridgepoint. He's then joined by Andy Owen and Matt Ehresman for a live Q&A, answering questions about the Sending Service launching August 23.

Whether you're a "dip your toe in" person or a "cannonball" person, Pastor Andy invites you to go All In as we enter an exciting time at Ridgepoint. Drawing from a vivid vision in Ezekiel 47, we'll explore what it looks like to move from ankle-deep faith to fully surrendered faith, and discover the source of life that overflows to those around us.

Every Christian holds dual citizenship, belonging both to an earthly nation and to the kingdom of God. In this special one-week message, Pastor Brent explores what the Bible teaches about rightly ordering our loves and allegiances, with Christ's kingdom always coming first.

In a world that pulls us toward our own desires and quick comfort, the Christian life is more like a long race than a sprint. In this final message of In a World Like This, Pastor Andy looks at 2 Timothy 4 to explore what it means to start well, endure well, and finish well, wherever you find yourself in the journey.

It's getting harder to know what's true, and easy to feel discouraged by where the world seems headed. This week in our series, we turn to 2 Timothy 3 to ask what it looks like to stand for truth with courage and kindness, anchored in godly examples and the Word of God.
