    The Beautiful Fear: Where Holiness Meets the Human Heart

    This week: “When Awe Awakens”   What happens when you truly see God for who He is? In this opening message, we step into Isaiah’s vision and rediscover a holy God who is not only high and lifted up—but deeply personal. Awe isn’t a feeling—it’s a response to holiness. And when that awe awakens, it humbles us, heals us, and sends us with purpose.   Text: Isaiah 6:1–8; Hebrews 12:28–29; Proverbs 9:10

    Is Water Baptism Really Necessary?

    Jesus’ instructions for those who follow Him seem very strange sometimes. Before He returns to the Father, He tells His immediate followers to go everywhere and make disciples. That is, gather people together and help people know what it means to follow Jesus, and then help them receive the life He promised. But then baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and pass on everything He taught them. We understand ‘gather’ and we understand ‘teach’… but dunk people in water in front of others? Why? That’s actually a great question! The answer is the best news!

    Making Sense…Why Jesus Became a Man

    Jesus told us to be IN the world but NOT be of it — that is, don't take on its value system. And that’s why Jesus came... God became one of us. He didn’t have to do that; He could’ve just said, "Figure it out on your own!" But, He didn’t.

    “Responsibility: God Owns, We Manage”

    The first narratives of history in Genesis tell us that God created everything we see. God is the ultimate Giver; we are the managers. But, if there is no accountability and we blow through our time and money thinking that if it comes to us then it must belong to us... Does it though?⁠

    Helping Your Kids Make It

    We live in a culture that seems obsessed with helping children be successful, competent, smart, and well-educated... and somehow miss⁠ the fact that it’s NOT this stuff that helps them make it, in the ultimate⁠ sense of the word. As parents, we need to know what that is!⁠

    Faith: Nothing is Impossible with God

    There are times when we need to see beyond what is possible, attainable, or even logical – and pursue a bigger plan that takes more love, more money, more grace and more insight than we have available. Jesus asks us to lean in!
