    "Growth" (God's Big Kingdom of Little Loves) | Josh Jewell-Horton

    Our world is one that prioritizes constant growth at all costs. Yet when asked to describe his kingdom, Jesus offers an image of the insignificant, ratchet mustard bush- an unimpressive but unstoppable place of rest for a weary world. Jesus invites us to his big kingdom of smallness and in doing so, frees us to live small lives of value and purpose.

    "Investment" (What are you doing with what you've been given? | Adam Hendrix

    This week in our Plot Twists series we look at the Parable of the Talents through the lens of "investment." Our life is a gift, therefore, the question is what are we doing with what we've been given?So often we avoid the risk of following Jesus's call to adventure because of our fear. But just like every good story involves stepping into the unknown, our faith requires stepping out too.

    The Book of Jude: Free Solo Faith (and Why It's Killing Us) | Adam Hendrix

    We celebrate the lone genius, the self-made entrepreneur, the solo adventurer. Alex Honnold free-soloing 1,600 feet with no rope.  But what if the thing we admire most is the thing that's making us loneliest? We have more tools, more access, and more "connections" than any generation in history, and yet we're starving for presence. In the final week of our series in Jude, we look at a first-century church teetering on the edge of collapse — scattered, fragile, and tempted to go it alone. And we discover that Jude's survival plan wasn't a new doctrine or a purity test. It was a structure built on two kinds of dependence: vertical (anchored to God) and horizontal (roped to each other).

    The Book of Jude • 11-17 • False Teachers | Adam Hendrix

    Most shipwrecks don't happen in the deep ocean during storms. They happen close to shore, where everything looks calm—but hidden rocks lie just beneath the surface. In the book of Jude, we discover that the greatest threat to the Jesus movement wasn't persecution from the outside. It was corruption from within. People who said the right things, sat at the table, quoted Scripture—but were driven by ego, power, and selfish desire rather than the way of Jesus. Sound familiar? From spiritual abuse scandals to Christian nationalism to toxic church leadership, we're living in a moment when the name of Jesus is being used for everything except what Jesus actually taught. One-third of Americans report experiencing religious trauma. And many are asking: "If this is Christianity, I want nothing to do with it." But what if the problem isn't Jesus—it's people using his name without following his way? In this message, we explore: Why the early church's biggest danger was insider threats (Cain, Balaam, Korah)How to discern false teaching from authentic faith ("you will know them by their fruit")What it means to be an "illuminator" in a confused cultural momentHow Jesus invites us to let him illuminate the truth—not just in the world, but in our own hearts

    The Book of Jude | 1-10

    Understanding the code of Jude, and what the early church needed to remember that is still true for us today: God calls us, God loves us, and God keeps us.

    God Unfiltered: Omnipresent | Cris Otonari

    The abiding presence of God can, and does, evoke a variety of responses from within our hearts. As we look our scriptures today we witness the goodness, the kindness, the shelter and the rescue of God. Our hearts are invited to draw near to the presence of God that we might experience the fullness of God's goodness.

    God Unfiltered: God Is Omniscient | Adam Hendrix

    What does it really mean to say that God “knows everything”? For many of us, that idea doesn’t feel comforting—it feels invasive. In a world shaped by data collection, surveillance, and algorithms that know our habits better than our friends do, being “fully known” can sound more like control than love. This talk explores the deep tension between being watched and being truly known, tracing a spectrum of Christian perspectives on God’s omniscience while refusing easy answers. Along the way, it asks a more personal question: is God’s knowledge like data, or like intimacy? Not a system tracking us—but a presence who sees us, remembers us, and holds us without shame.
