    God’s Path for Your Growth

    Spiritual growth doesn’t just happen—it’s something we cultivate over time. In Get Growing, we’ll look at Jesus’ parable of the soils and what it reveals about why some growth lasts and some doesn’t. Together, we’ll explore a few simple, intentional habits—like prayer, time in God’s Word, community, serving, and giving—that help us stay rooted and keep growing with Jesus. Wherever you’re starting from, this is an opportunity to take a next step and build a faith that keeps growing!

    The Power of Persevering Prayer (in the Home)

    In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Stacie Wood shares an encouraging word about the most powerful tool we have to influence our families: persevering prayer. Through inspiring stories from church history and her own life, Stacie illustrates the impact of refusing to give up on praying for loved ones. She explores the Hebrew concept of "paga," depicting intercession as boldly bringing the needs of others before God's mercy. Stacie challenges listeners to pray "dangerous" prayers that will set the spiritual trajectory for generations. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or friend, this message will renew your faith and remind you that it's never too late to start contending for God's best for your family.

  3. Lesson Learned

    4 MAY

    Lesson Learned

    What happens when we flip the script and let young people teach us? In this message, Pastor Kurt Johnston explores four powerful lessons from youth in the Bible. Drawing from the stories of Samuel, Esther, the boys who mocked Elisha, and the boy with the loaves and fishes, Pastor Kurt shares practical habits to transform our lives. Learn to "listen up" to God's voice by dialing down the noise, "step up" to protect the vulnerable, "shush up" by pausing to pray before speaking, and "offer up" what you have to join what God is doing. No matter your age, you will be challenged to put these timeless principles into practice. God is always at work, and when we align our lives with His, we can make a lasting impact in the next generation and beyond.

    27 APR

    Peace for Your Home

    All of us desire peace in our homes, but how can we find it with so many competing priorities? In this message, Pastor Andy Wood explores God's design for bringing lasting peace into our families. Drawing from Psalm 128 and James 3, Pastor Andy shares how to catch God's vision for your home, order your priorities with worship of God as the foundation, and shape daily habits that sow seeds of peace. Learn practical ways to gather around the table, speak affirming words, and root out bitter envy and selfish ambition that destroy relationships. Whether you're single, a young parent, or a grandparent, you'll be encouraged to persevere and trust God for strength. Peace requires willingness to keep sowing in faith, knowing a harvest of righteousness is coming. God has a vision for your home, and there's still time to align your heart with His design.

  5. Peace for Your Heart

    20 APR

    Peace for Your Heart

    Life is full of moments we didn’t see coming. In this message, Pastor Andy Wood shares where we can find real peace when life feels uncertain. Jesus teaches us peace is not found by fixing what’s happening around us. Peace begins within us. While we often look to external solutions, Scripture reveals that what’s happening in our hearts is what shapes our lives. Through passages like John 14 and Mark 7, we see that transformation is an inside work. Peace flows from a right relationship with God and a heart surrendered to him. As we invite God to search our hearts and grow our trust in him, we begin to experience the kind of peace that holds steady even when life doesn’t. No matter what you’re facing, this message invites you to bring your heart to God and discover the peace only he can give.

  6. Peace in Your Mind

    13 APR

    Peace in Your Mind

    Why does it feel so hard to live with peace? In the first message of our series, The Path to Peace, we look at how to experience peace in our minds. So often, we carry more than we were meant to, taking on thoughts and responsibilities that slowly erode our peace. Isaiah 26:3 reminds us that God keeps those who trust in Him in perfect peace. Peace isn’t the absence of chaos. It’s a steady life that flows from a right relationship with God, available in any circumstance. The battle for peace begins in our minds. This message explores how to pause, protect your thoughts, and pray. When we don’t guard our minds, we’re vulnerable to lies. But when we shift our focus to God’s truth, everything begins to change. God invites us to trust Him with what we can’t control and take responsibility for what we can. As we do, we experience His peace and come to know Him as the God of peace.

  7. The Hope You Need

    5 APR

    The Hope You Need

    What is hope? For some, it’s a wish or a state of mind. But how do we hold onto hope when we lose a loved one, when a marriage falls apart, or when our health fails? In this Easter message, Pastor Andy Wood walks through John 11 and the story of Jesus raising Lazarus. In their grief, Mary and Martha ask where Jesus was and why He didn’t come sooner. In response, Jesus reveals who He is. He is the resurrection and the life, greater than any circumstance we face. He is the God who cares, meeting us in our pain and reminding us we are not alone. He is the God who keeps His promises, calling Lazarus out of the grave and showing His power and faithfulness. This Easter, we’re invited to lift our hope above our circumstances and place it in Jesus, who offers new life, real peace, and a hope we can hold onto.

  8. Because of the Cross

    5 APR

    Because of the Cross

    Pastor Buddy Owens walks us through the powerful truth of Galatians 2:20 and what Jesus’ sacrifice really means for our lives today. The cross isn’t just about eternity. It changes everything about how we live right now. Because of the cross, three things are true for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus. We are forgiven, fully and completely, with nothing left to prove or pay. We are set free, no longer defined by sin, shame, or our past. And we are given a new life, not a restart of the old one, but a completely new beginning with new purpose and hope. This message reminds us that what Jesus did was finished and final. Our role is to trust what He’s already done and live in that freedom every day. No matter your past or what you’re carrying, this is an invitation to come to Jesus just as you are and step into the life He’s already made possible for you.
