When The Tombs Opened: Matthew 27:52-53

When the Tombs Opened | Matthew 27:52–53 In this message from the I’ve Always Wondered… series, we take a closer look at one of the Bible’s most unusual and mysterious passages. Matthew tells us that tombs were opened, many bodies of the saints were raised, and they appeared to many people in Jerusalem. What are we supposed to do with this strange event? We’ll look carefully at what Matthew actually tells us, what Scripture leaves unanswered, and why this unusual moment ultimately points us back to Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 27:45–54 Message: When the Tombs Opened

A Biblical Picture of Servant Leadership: Deacon Ordination Sunday

Deacon Ordination — A Biblical Picture of Servant Leadership In this message from our Deacon Ordination Service, we explore the biblical calling of deacons and what it means to lead through humble, faithful service. As we ordain these men for ministry, we are reminded that biblical leadership begins with a heart willing to serve Christ and His church. Scripture: Acts 6:1–7; 1 Timothy 3:8–13 Key Theme: Servant leadership is about faithfully serving Christ and His people.

Cremation, Resurrection, & Body 2.0: I've Always Wondered...

Can someone who has been cremated still be resurrected? What happens to our bodies when we die? And what does the Bible actually mean when it talks about resurrection? In the first message of I’ve Always Wondered…, we explore 1 Corinthians 15:35–58 and discover that our hope isn't in the condition of our physical remains. Our hope is in Jesus Christ, who conquered death and promises resurrection to those who belong to Him. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:35–58 Series: I’ve Always Wondered…

Season 1

Margins - Week 4: A Generous Heart

Margins — Week 4: A Generous Heart What does it look like to make room for generosity? In this message, we explore how creating margin in our lives allows us to live with open hands—giving freely of our time, resources, and ourselves because we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God. Margins: Making Room for What Matters Most.

Margins - Week 3: Rest

What if rest isn’t something we have to earn, but a gift God wants us to receive? In Week 3 of Margins, we explore what it means to create space to slow down, stop, and rest—and how choosing rest can become an act of trust in God. Margins — Week 3: Rest

Margins - Week 2: "Leftovers Again?"

Are the people we love getting our best—or simply whatever we have left? In Week 2 of Margins, we look at what it means to intentionally make room for the people God has placed in our lives: spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, and friends. Ultimately, we look to Jesus, who didn’t give us His leftovers. He gave us Himself. Main Thought: Don’t give the people you love your leftovers.

Margins - Week 1: The One Thing

Margins — Week 1: The One Thing In this episode, we explore Luke 10:38–42 and the story of Mary and Martha. In a world filled with distractions, demands, and busyness, Jesus reminds us that not everything deserves our attention. What happens when we make room for the one thing that matters most?

Plot Twist - Chapter 4: Life Interrupted

What if the interruption you're trying to avoid is actually an invitation? In the final message of our Plot Twist series, we turn to Luke 5 and Peter's unexpected encounter with Jesus. Peter thought he was simply finishing another ordinary day of fishing. Instead, Jesus interrupted his plans and invited him to something greater. We’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus when He changes our plans, redirects our lives, and calls us to see our ordinary circumstances differently. Because sometimes, the greatest plot twist isn't something we have to endure. It's an invitation we have the opportunity to accept.

Plot Twist - Chapter 3: Stranger in the Mirror

Have you ever wondered if you've gone too far for God to forgive you? In this message from 2 Chronicles 33, we look at the life of King Manasseh—a man whose story seemed beyond redemption. Discover how God's grace meets us in our worst moments and why sin isn't the end of the story...Jesus gets the final word.

Plot Twist - Chapter 2: When Heroes Fall

Plot Twist - Chapter 2: When Heroes Fall What do you do when someone you admired lets you down? Whether it's a leader, a friend, a spouse, or even yourself, disappointment has a way of shaking our confidence and leaving us grieving what could have been. In this message from 1 Samuel 16, we see how God met Samuel in the middle of his grief after Saul's failure—and how He gently called him to move forward. Discover why people make wonderful gifts...but terrible gods, and learn how to anchor your hope in the only King who will never disappoint. Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1–13
