So what is the plan?

In this special standalone message from yesterday's service, our guest preacher; Craig Mckibbon steps up to the mic to unpack a question we’ve all asked at least once: What is the plan? Diving into the timeless truths of Jeremiah 29:11 and Exodus 31:1–5, this talk confronts those heavy seasons where we feel lost, stagnant, or completely in the dark about our future. From a hilarious joke about why God shuts certain doors (hint: He doesn't want to let the AC out!) to a deeply encouraging reminder about divine timing, this message is the perfect combination of humor and heart. We dive into why every single situation has a distinct purpose and why we can actually thank God right in the middle of a messy season. Not because the waiting is easy, but because His blueprint is designed to lead you to an expected end, one built to give you hope, never to hurt you. The journey might feel long, but the destination is totally secure. Whether you're questioning your current career path, a relationship, or just your current season of life, this episode is the exact reminder you need that God is still meticulously crafting your story.

Conclusion: When Nations Turn on Themselves

In this episode, Lead Pastor Aaron Ross brings us to the grand finale of our series, "REBELLION, RETRIBUTION, RESCUE: The Relentless Spiral of Judges," and things get incredibly real. We are landing at the absolute rock bottom of Israel's history. If you thought the earlier stories in this series were wild, Judges chapter 20 takes it to a whole new level. For the first time in generations, the nation actually unites "as one man", but instead of coming together to do something good or drive out toxic cultural influences, they launch a massive, devastating civil war against their own brothers. Pastor Aaron dives deep into the chaos of what happens when a society completely rejects God’s leadership, tries to operate on "hog-headed righteousness," and treats God like a lucky charm to bless bad decisions they’ve already made. It’s a sobering, fast-paced, and highly relevant look at how easily we can become the very things we say we despise when we let self-justification run the show. But this finale isn't just a history lesson on a nation turning on itself; it's a massive wake-up call and a beautiful reminder of why we desperately need a King like Jesus , Jesus sacrificed His own life to save us, even while we were unfaithful and in sin. We need a King who does not just purge evil from our society, but who changes our hearts from the inside out and purges evil from our hearts through his own “victorious defeat” on the cross. As we look at the ruins of Benjamin, we are reminded that God’s grace is far greater than our sin.” Turn the volume up, share this with a friend, and join us for the final chapter of Judges as we talk about why God's grace is always infinitely bigger than our biggest failures. Hit play and let's get into it

Samson: Disruptor to the Philistine Status Quo

When it comes to living a life of holiness, we have a choice: will God be glorified through us, or in spite of us? In this week's message, our Lead Pastor Aaron Ross takes us to the absolute deepest and darkest part of Israel's downward spiral to look at the chaotic life of Samson whose biography reads as a cautionary tale of a leader who was physically strong but spiritually bankrupt.Samson stands as a vivid mirror for the modern believer. He was an individual blessed with God-given unique and immense physical strength, yet he was incredibly weak mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, he continually allowed himself to be mastered by lust, foolishness, and personal vengeance. His story serves as a powerful reminder that while God can use our flaws to accomplish His purposes, He never endorses a compromised lifestyle. Pastor Aaron challenges us to look beyond the Sunday school version of this story to see its deeper spiritual reality: we cannot expect to live in structural rebellion and escape the painful harvest of our choices.Yet, the ultimate takeaway of Samson’s life isn't his failure, it is the relentless mercy of God. Though Samson's story ends in a tomb, it points forward to Jesus Christ, whose outstretched hands on the cross secured an eternal kingdom rather than a temporary, physical victory.

Jephthah: The Negotiator and Manipulator

What happens when God’s people look exactly like the culture around them? Moving into the fifth part of our series, "REBELLION, RETRIBUTION, RESCUE: The Relentless Spiral of Judges", we examine the tragic, chaotic legacy of Jephthah.Pastor Aaron unpacks the sobering story of Jephthah: a social outcast turned warlord who tried to bargain with a king and manipulate Almighty God. Jephthah was a brilliant negotiator and a mighty warrior, yet his worldview was deeply fractured by pagan habits. He famously made an unnecessary, tragic vow to God in an attempt to buy divine favor; a striking reflection of the toxic 'quid pro quo' religion of his day. We live in a western world where the church often feels like it is in retreat or compromise. Jephthah serves as a stark warning of "Canaanization": the slow process of letting the surrounding culture squeeze us into its mold until we can no longer distinguish biblical truth from worldly practices, it shows us exactly what happens when believers lose their distinctiveness and adopt the habits, language, and transactional faith of the society around them. This also serves as an urgent reminder to us that we cannot successfully ask for God’s rescue while actively rejecting His rule. Tune in for a highly compelling study on human initiative versus divine appointment, the danger of toxic vows, and how God's grace continually reaches down to us even when we are at our worst.

Gideon: A Mixed-Bag of Reassurance and Deliverance

We are back with another episode in our series tracking the downward spiral of ancient Israel. In this episode, Pastor Aaron Ross opens up Judges chapter 7 to unpack the life of Gideon. Many of us live under the cultural weight of ideological, political, or deeply personal wars, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or ill-equipped. Gideon felt the exact same way. Tune in as we discuss how a deep grace runs under our mixed-up lives, and how our human weaknesses can actually become the platform for divine strength. Three Things You Need to Hear Today: 1 You Don't Have to Be a Juggernaut: God uses ordinary, mixed-up people who struggle just like we do. 2 The 300-Man Reality: God often reduces our resources so that we stop relying on ourselves and start relying on Him. 3 Weakness is a Platform: Your shortcomings aren’t stopping God; they are the exact places where His power is put on display. Don't wait until you feel "strong enough" to step out. Tune in to discover how your limitations are the exact space where God wants to reveal His power, Amen!!

Deborah: “A Mother in Israel”

This week led by Pastor Aaron Ross, we took a deep dive back into The book of Judges chapters 4 and 5 and shifted our focus to Deborah, the only female judge, who rose to lead during a time of extreme oppression and spiritual decline. In a culture that often sidelined women, God raised Deborah, she was not just a judge she was a mother, a prophetess and a leader who saw what others were too afraid to face. We saw the power of availability in Deborah who was Leading from just underneath a Palm tree yet her wisdom and willingness to be used by God shifted the destiny of a nation. Sometimes, God does not look for the most qualified but he look for the most surrendered. There are other unexpected heroes like Jael, a courageous non-Israelite woman who God used to deliver the final blow to the enemy, God can use you in your everyday surroundings to win major victories. In our daily lives, while we strive to identify if we are a "Barak" waiting for a sign or a "Deborah" ready to lead, we should first recognize that success is not about our strength but about following God, the one who has already won the battles. Step out in faith, stand firm against spiritual decline and watch God go before you. Amen.
