Join Pastor Lawson, our Executive Pastor of Finance, to discuss practicing giving and generosity as a spiritual discipline.

Are you truly thankful for what God has given you, or are you so focused on wanting more that you've forgotten to say thank you? In this week's message from our Gratitude series, Pastor Dean takes us through Philippians 2:14–15 and Luke 17:11–19, where Jesus heals ten lepers, but only one returns to give Him thanks. Through this powerful story, we're challenged to examine our attitudes, recognize God's goodness in our everyday lives, and ask ourselves a simple question: Are we living like the nine who walked away or the one who came back?

Pastor Mark and Angela discuss the spiritual discipline of fasting: why you should and how to get started.

Pastor Paul and Angela delve into more Bible study methods and how to enrich your Bible study, as well as discussing the often overlooked spiritual discipline of memorizing Scripture.

What are you allowing to influence your life? Are you focused on the things of this world, or are you intentionally pursuing God? In this week's message, Pastor Jacob Herman continues our Walking Worthy series by diving into Ephesians 5. Through the example of King Solomon, we learn how small decisions and everyday distractions can slowly pull our focus away from God. Walking worthy doesn't happen by accident. It takes intentional choices, a growing relationship with Jesus, and a willingness to follow the Holy Spirit daily.

This week, Angela is joined by Lesa Howard to discuss the spiritual discipline of prayer.

What does it really mean to walk worthy? In this message from our Walking Worthy series, Pastor Dean teaches through Romans 8 and Ephesians 4, reminding us that Jesus didn’t just come to change where we go when we die. He came to change how we live while we’re here. Because of the cross, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Our standing has changed, our master has changed, and our walk should change too. Walking worthy isn’t the price of salvation. It’s the result of salvation. Join us as we learn what it looks like to live free from shame, walk in obedience, and live the life Jesus has called us to live.

Join Angela, Pastor Mark, and Pastor Lawson in a discussion around why we should read and study the Bible and how this discipline should be engaged in both new and seasoned believers.

What is the difference between mercy and grace? In this message from our Walking Worthy series, Pastor Dean teaches from John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. Mercy spares us from what we deserve, while grace gives us what we could never earn. Jesus doesn’t call us to live trying to earn His grace. He calls us to live from the grace we have already received. Grace doesn’t leave us where we are. It transforms us and changes the direction of our lives.

Join Angela, Pastor Mark, and Pastor Lawson as we dig into what spiritual disciplines are and why they matter to us.

What does it really look like to walk worthy of the calling God has placed on your life? In this message, Pastor Dean walks through the book of Ephesians and challenges us to look beyond simply thinking about eternal life and instead examine how we are living our lives right now. Our words may tell people what we believe, but our footprints reveal what we truly follow. As followers of Jesus, we are called to know who we are, remember where we came from, understand our purpose, walk differently, walk in love, walk in light, walk wisely, and stand firm when opposition comes. The question is simple: If someone followed the footprints of your life, where would they lead?

What does the algorithm of your life reveal about what you truly worship? In the final message of our Crown or Towel series, Pastor Dean challenges us to look beyond what we say we believe and examine how we actually spend our time, thoughts, attention, and money. Our behavior reveals what we value, and what we value reveals where our heart truly is. Just like an online algorithm learns what we want by watching our behavior, the patterns of our lives reveal what we continually pursue. The question is not simply what we say matters most, but what our lives prove matters most. Through Matthew 6, we are reminded that where our treasure is, our heart will follow. What we continually place before our eyes fills our lives, and what fills our lives ultimately reveals who our master is. So what does the algorithm of your life say about you? Have you truly taken off the crown, surrendered your life to Jesus, and picked up the towel to follow and serve Him?

What does it really look like to live with self-control? In this message from our Crown or Towel series, Pastor Dean challenges us to stop trying to control everything around us and instead surrender ourselves fully to Jesus. Biblical self-control is not simply willpower. It is the Holy Spirit giving us the strength to say no to ourselves so we can keep saying yes to Jesus. Through Proverbs 25 and Galatians 5, we see the difference between living by the flesh and living by the Spirit, and we are challenged to honestly examine the fruit our lives are producing. The question is not, “How can I control what happens around me?” The better question is, “How can I control how I respond to what happens?”

What does it really look like to love your neighbor? In this message from our Crown or Towel series, we look at Jesus’ teaching through the story of the Good Samaritan. The priest saw the need. The Levite saw the need. But the Samaritan allowed what he saw to move him to compassion and then to action. Following Jesus means more than noticing people who are hurting. It means taking off the crown, picking up the towel, and choosing to serve. Instead of saying, “Someone else will help,” what if we started asking, “Why not me?”
