Join us as we take a break from Job and discuss what it means to build your family on a strong foundation! What does Jesus have to teach us about the way we are meant to raise and build our families?

Job: Faith in Suffering // A Cry from the Depths

In Week 3 of our Faith in Suffering series, we step into one of the most raw and emotional chapters in Scripture—Job 3. After sitting in silence through unimaginable loss, Job finally speaks… and what comes out is not polished or pretty. It’s a geyser of grief. Through Job’s curse, cry, and questions, we see what it looks like when suffering boils over. This message wrestles with a tension many of us feel but don’t always know how to express: how can we believe God is good while everything in our life feels broken? In this episode, we explore the powerful truth that in the face of suffering, we need both lament and truth. You’ll be encouraged to bring your honest pain before God, recognize the lies that can take root in difficult seasons, and ultimately anchor yourself in the hope of the gospel. If you’ve ever asked “Why, God?” or felt stuck in the weight of your circumstances, this message is for you. Come discover how God meets us—not after the pain is fixed—but right in the middle of it.

Job // Worship & Grief

Join us as Pastor Jeff continues our series over Job: Faith in Suffering.

Job // Faith in Suffering

We’re beginning a brand-new series in the book of Job called Faith in Suffering. Before we dive deep into the chapters ahead, this episode gives a 30,000-foot view of the story—its themes, tensions, and the big questions we’ll wrestle with together. What kind of world do we live in? What kind of gospel should we preach? What kind of Savior do we need? Job confronts us with the reality that we live in a fallen world where suffering is real and often doesn’t make sense. It challenges the idea that faith guarantees comfort and exposes the emptiness of a prosperity-driven gospel. Instead, it points us to a better hope—a perfect Savior who suffered for us and walks with us in our pain. This episode reminds us that God is not absent in our hardship. Like a tapestry viewed from the back, life can look tangled and unclear—but God is weaving something beautiful beyond what we can see. If you’ve ever asked “Why?” in the middle of suffering, this series is for you. Join us as we discover how to hold onto hope and say, like Job, “Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him.”

I Believe // Shazam

What does it really mean to say, “I believe…”? In this message from our I Believe series, we explore what it means to confess faith in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) Church, the communion of saints, and the forgiveness of sins. Looking at Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 and the transformation of Peter at Pentecost, we see how the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in and empowers believers today. This sermon reminds us that the Church is not a building but a Spirit-filled people—global, eternal, and united in Christ. We are not called to live the Christian life in our own strength. The Holy Spirit is with us, in us, and upon us—giving power, producing love, and pointing us to Jesus. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to follow God on empty, this message is a reminder: you were never meant to do it alone. The Spirit still transforms cowards into courageous witnesses. He still builds His Church. And through Jesus, forgiveness is offered fully, forever, and freely.

I Believe // Launched to Worship & Witness

What if you built a house… but never moved in? In this week’s message from our I Believe series, we explore one of the most overlooked lines of the Apostles’ Creed: “He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father… and He will come to judge the living and the dead.” We celebrate the incarnation. We preach the cross. We rejoice in the resurrection. But the ascension? Too often, we skip past it. Walking through Acts 1:6–11 and the words of Jesus in John 16:7, we discover that the ascension wasn’t Jesus leaving—it was Jesus coming nearer. It was the detonator that unleashed the power of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection through the gift of the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus ascended: We have representation — an Advocate at the right hand of the Father (1 John 2:1). We have a promise of His return — the same Jesus is coming again. We have a responsibility — to worship upward and witness outward (Matthew 28:18–20). We have a reward — eternity with Him (Revelation 22:12). The ascension launched the church upward in worship and outward in witness. It reminds us that Jesus isn’t absent—He is present. Not beside us, but within us. The same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, who stilled storms, who walked out of the grave… is coming again. The question is simple—and weighty: Are you ready?

I Believe // Where Legends are Made

What do Christians actually believe—and which beliefs are absolutely essential? In this message from the I Believe series, we turn to the Apostles’ Creed to explore the “load-bearing walls” of the Christian faith. Just like the human body has vital organs you can’t live without, Christianity has core truths that everything else depends on. At the center of it all is this declaration: “On the third day, He rose again.” The resurrection isn’t a side note—it’s the heart of the matter. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, then faith collapses. But if He did, it changes everything. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15 and the historical details of the New Testament, this sermon wrestles honestly with the question: Is the resurrection a legend, or is it history? We look at eyewitness testimony, early writings, awkward and unpolished gospel details, and the transformation of Jesus’ followers—many of whom suffered and died rather than deny what they had seen. This message challenges the idea that Christianity is built on inspirational stories or blind faith. Instead, it points to a faith rooted in real places, real people, and real events—anchored by an empty tomb. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then He isn’t just a good teacher or moral example. He is Lord—and that reality demands a response. Want to learn more about who we are, what we believe, and how you can get connected?

I Believe // The Known X

What do you actually believe—and why does it matter? In this message from our I Believe series, we turn to the Apostles’ Creed and focus on one of the most crucial truths of the Christian faith: the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world—and also one of the most misunderstood. Far from being an abstract idea or religious decoration, the cross is anchored in real history, marked by real suffering, and filled with real meaning for our lives today. As we explore what it means that Jesus “suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried,” we discover that the cross is not an unknown variable—it is the very center of our faith. In this sermon, we look at: Why the cross is anchored to a fixed moment in history The shame, pain, and reality of crucifixion How Jesus’ death was vicarious, voluntary, and victorious Old Testament prophecies that point directly to the cross How the cross offers both forgiveness and wholeness Paul said it best: “I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” If we miss the cross, we miss Jesus. But when we truly understand the cross, we find the treasure of grace, restoration, and new life. The cross is the crux of the matter—and the place where everything changes.

I Believe // Load Bearing Wall

What you believe isn’t just personal preference—it’s a load-bearing wall that holds up your entire life. In this message from our “I Believe…” series, we continue walking through the Apostles’ Creed and arrive at the center of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ. Using the powerful metaphor of load-bearing walls, this sermon explores why a right understanding of Jesus isn’t optional—it’s essential. Remove Him, and everything else eventually collapses. Together, we unpack what it truly means to say: “I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord… conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary.” From Colossians 1 to the mystery of the incarnation, from fulfilled prophecy to the trilemma of Jesus’ identity, this message challenges us to ask an honest question: Is Jesus just a good teacher—or is He Lord? Because if we get Jesus wrong, we miss everything. But if we get Jesus right, it changes everything—how we encounter God, pursue Jesus, and make an impact with our lives.
