Who’s your Assyrian? Who or what do you place above the presence of God? It might be a group, a place, a celebrity, a political party, or it could even be someone who has wronged you. It might feel like living with an Assyrian isn’t that big of a deal, but how does that impact our allegiance to King Jesus? In his sermon, When Facing Contempt, Pr Jess walks us through the familiar story of Jonah in an entirely new light, explaining how we can be those who walk with our allegiance divided, keeping us from the perspective of King Jesus. This sermon comes with some impactful visuals, and we encourage you to watch it for the full experience. If you’re longing for your allegiance to Jesus to deepen, this sermon will inspire you in the best way! Listen and watch here!

Are you in a season of waiting, hoping, wondering, and contending? Do you find yourself growing tired of holding out and holding on? This sermon is for you. On Mother’s Day Sunday, our one and only Pastor Brenda brings the word and speaks to the seasons of "meanwhile." Speaking from the story of Jacob in Genesis, she encourages us to not forget the promises of God and to be people of preparation and declaration. This sermon is not just for moms; it’s one we all need to hear! Listen in today and be encouraged in your "meanwhile"!

Sometimes we feed on the wrong thing, and we’re not talking about cookies and donuts. Sometimes our appetite for superiority, pride, and ambition control what we see. Teaching through the book of Obadiah, Pastor Jess challenges us to be those who seek to see the reflection of the glory of God in the faces of those around us. Instead of playing superior, cracking jokes, and taking advantage, he reminds us to be people of praise. Are you ready to be reminded of the glory of God in the faces around you? It’s time for a new appetite. Listen today, and get ready to feed differently!

Justice—it's a word we hear in courtrooms, see held on street corners, and find at the top of social petitions. But where is justice in the Bible? As we continue in our Minor Chord sermon series, Pastor Jess takes us into the book of Amos, encouraging us to see how God’s definition of justice builds His house. It’s not a system of rules, laws, and policies but of intention, connection, and delight. Are you longing for a world that reflects Kingdom justice? Hear the invitation to step into God’s streams of justice today. Listen here; it just might change how you speak and see tomorrow.

Don’t forget to eat! We’re not talking about meals or snacks; we’re talking about our true Daily Bread. As we continue in our Minor Chord sermon series, Pastor Jerushah invites us to consider how to respond when we find ourselves resonating with the Minor Prophets and experiencing loss—to get up and eat as we get into the Word. It’s when we feed on our Daily Bread that we find He sends supply, He sends satisfaction, and He sends His Spirit. Have you been in a quiet season, a waiting season, or a hurting season? It’s time to eat. It’s time to taste Jesus and get filled with the Holy Spirit so we can become voices of hope for those still hungry. If you’re wondering where to start, this sermon is the place! Listen today!

We live full. Full schedules, full jobs, full social calendars, full leisure…full. Much of what makes our lives full doesn’t land on the calendar—full stress, full worry, full guilt. In this sermon, When Facing Unfaithfulness, Pastor Jess invites us to hear the invitation of Jesus to empty ourselves and make space for the sacred. What happens when we are empty? We drag our pain to the feet of Jesus as we take up our cross and follow Him. Are you weary with the weight of hurt, offense, pain, or worry today? Empty yourself at the feet of Jesus. Hear His voice revealing the treasure in the pain as He fills you with sacred healing. Listen here, and let go of being full!
