Consider Jesus | Consider | Week 4

What happens when we stop focusing on our circumstances and take time to truly consider Jesus? In this message from the Consider series, guest speaker Ron Brown invites us to look closely at who Jesus is, what He has done, and what His sacrifice means for the way we live today. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and 12, Ron reminds us that Jesus is our Savior, Shepherd, High Priest, source of hope, and the One who gives us strength to persevere when life feels overwhelming. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, our circumstances may not immediately change—but our perspective does, giving us the courage to live as ambassadors of hope, peace, and good news.

Stir Up the Right Kind of Trouble | Consider | Week 3

Faith may be personal, but it was never meant to be lived alone. In this message from the Consider series, Pastor Jason Smith looks at Hebrews 10:23–25 and explores what it means to live in a community that knows us, loves us, encourages us, and challenges us to become more like Jesus. Through the picture of runners training together and the call to “spur one another on,” we’re reminded that God uses people around us to move us beyond comfort and into a life of love, good deeds, and service. When we choose to gather, grow, and serve together, we can stir up the right kind of trouble—pushing back darkness, bringing hope, and becoming the light God has called us to be.

Consider Your Ways | Consider | Week 2

What happens when the things that matter most slowly get pushed to the side? In this second message of Consider, Pastor Jason Smith turns to Haggai 1 and the command to “consider your ways,” challenging us to take an honest look at what has been receiving our time, energy, and attention. Rather than simply putting God at the top of a list of priorities, we’re invited to place Jesus at the center of everything—our families, work, relationships, time, and resources. Through the ideas of priority, pace, and promise, we discover that even a small step toward God can begin to reorder our lives and lead us into greater purpose and satisfaction. When we make God’s kingdom our priority, we can trust His promise: “I am with you.”

The Right Kind of Small | Consider | Week 1

What has your attention? In the opening message of Consider, Pastor Jason Smith looks at Psalm 8 and invites us to slow down long enough to see God, ourselves, and our circumstances with the right perspective. When we focus on the wrong things, our problems can become bigger than they really are and our sense of worth can begin to shrink. But when we consider the majesty of God, we discover the “right kind of small”—a humility that recognizes who God is alongside the incredible dignity and worth He has given us. Ultimately, the heavens remind us how small we are, while the cross reminds us how deeply we are loved.

Take Your Shot | One Shot | Week 5

In the final message of our One Shot series, Brandon Muchow challenges us to consider the most important shot we will ever take: our response to Jesus. Drawing from Hebrews 1:3, Brandon explores the glory, authority, and sustaining power of Christ, reminding us that Jesus is not only worthy of our worship but worthy of our trust—even when life brings disappointment, suffering, and loss. Through a deeply personal story and the hope of the resurrection, this message invites us to take our shot by choosing to glorify, obey, and trust Jesus with our lives.

No matter what lies ahead, this message will remind you that the One who calls you is also the One who strengthens you.

From Empty to Overflowing | One Shot | Week 3

In this message, From Empty to Overflowing, Pastor Jason Smith explores the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand and reveals how God transforms ordinary lives through simple acts of surrender. Using the image of a child's lunch, Jason reminds us that what seems small in our hands becomes more than enough in the hands of Jesus. If you've ever felt like you don't have enough to offer, this message will encourage you to trust the One who can take your emptiness and turn it into overflowing abundance.

Keeping Our Focus | One Shot | Week 2

In Week 2 of our One Shot series, Pastor Emeritus Gary Watkins reminds us to never lose sight of the greatest gift we've ever received. Drawing from Hebrews 2, he invites us to rediscover the wonder of God's salvation, guard against drifting in our faith, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus through every season of life. Whether you've walked with Christ for decades or are still considering His invitation, this message is a timely reminder that there is nothing more important than responding to His great salvation.
