In this  sermon, Dave unpacks the encounter where Jesus intentionally seeks out a shamed, isolated Samaritan woman at a well to offer her living water, the Holy Spirit, who satisfies our deepest thirst where false fountains can’t, and he invites us to come to him as we are, with nothing to hide.

In this sermon, Dave takes us through Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler, and challenges us to abandon self-righteousness, idolatry and self-sufficiency, and to follow Christ above everything else, trusting that we can never give up more than He gives back.

Through Jesus’ encounter with a forgiven sinful woman at Simon the Pharisee’s dinner, the sermon shows that self-righteousness blinds us, while grace-forgiven debt produces costly love and the peace of knowing our sins are forgiven.

In this sermon, guest preacher, Rob Weddell, preaches from Jehoshaphat's crisis in 2 Chronicles 20 to show that genuine Christian conviction is tested—not determined—by suffering, and must rest firmly in the character and faithfulness of God rather than comfortable circumstances.

In this sermon, Doug opens the "Gospel Encounters" series with John 3, exploring Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus about the necessity of being born again by the Spirit.

In this sermon, Dave shows us how true rest is found only in Jesus, not in circumstances, achievements, or possessions.

In this final session, Roger unpacks Matthew 13:44-46 explaining that the kingdom of heaven is worth any sacrifice because Jesus himself — not what he asks you to give up — is the treasure, and living in awe of him puts every other pleasure, ambition, and loss in its rightful place.

In this second session, Roger digs into Luke 5:33-39 and Jesus' three pictures of the groom, the garment, and the wineskin to ask a simple but searching question: are you trying to patch Jesus onto your old life, or are you ready to let Him make you new?

In this first session of our  Getaway 2026, Guest preacher Roger Haynes takes us through Luke 15 and shows us how God is relentlessly, joyfully a finding God ("hound of heaven"). The three "lost" images map to three ways we get lost (no agency / drift / active choice), and the practical response is confession — facing the truth so you can enjoy being found

In this sermon Doug explains that because human beings are created as worshippers, true worship is a grace-filled, daily decision to discard idols that disappoint us and break our hearts and respond faithfully to God's holy character and redeeming work.

In this sermon, Doug challenges believers us to avoid harsh assumptions, cultivate a personal zeal for God's holiness, and actively invest in the faith of future generations.

Through the life of Caleb, Doug encourages us to follow God wholeheartedly, trust His promises through seasons of waiting, and rely on His grace to confront life's 'giants' at every age.

Doug preaches through Joshua 11–12 on Israel's defeat of a coalition of kings, drawing out three themes — God's sovereignty working through human cooperation/obedience, obedience (not accomplishment) as the true measure of a faithful life, and the importance of actively remembering God's past faithfulness rather than drifting into "spiritual amnesia."

In this sermon, Doug explains how God's ultimate purpose is to conform believers into the image of Jesus—past (predestined), present (through the Word, the Spirit, trials, relationships, marriage/parenting, and prayer), and future (glorification)—warning against complacent "arrival syndrome" and calling the church to depend continually on God's grace rather than self-effort.

"Here I am, send me" In This sermon, Dave unpacks four encounters God uses to transform Isaiah's life and ours moving us from mess to mission, The brokenness around him, The glory above him, The guilt and grace within him
