  1. The Death of Us

    Jun 14

    The Death of Us

    In this message from our Relationships in a Broken World series, Pastor Josh teaches from Philippians 2 on the remedy for fractured relationships. In a culture marked by loneliness, distraction, self-protection, and radical individualism, relationships do not usually explode all at once, they erode slowly over time. The deeper question is not just how to fix a relationship, but who we are becoming in the process.  This message identifies several forces quietly damaging our relationships: we stop showing up, we stop opening up, we stop understanding, we stop celebrating, and we put ourselves at the center. But Philippians 2 points us back to Christ, who moved toward us with humility, empathy, vulnerability, and sacrificial love. His example is not just inspiration, it is the pattern for how believers are called to live with one another.  Pastor Josh calls the church to shared grace, Christlike humility, and relational healing by putting Christ back at the center. Isolation is healed by Christlike presence, self-protection by Christlike vulnerability, empathy collapse by Christlike incarnation, honor erosion by Christlike humility, and radical individualism by Christlike sacrifice.

  2. The Lost Art of Forgiveness

    Jun 7

    The Lost Art of Forgiveness

    In this message from our Relationships in a Broken World series, Pastor Josh teaches on the art of forgiveness through the lens of Matthew 18. In a world that normalizes avoidance, retaliation, and bitterness, Jesus calls His people to something radically different: to release others from their debt because Christ has first released ours.  This message shows that unforgiveness does not protect the heart — it imprisons it. Forgiveness is not erasing the memory, waiting for an apology, pretending the pain did not happen, or instantly restoring trust. It is the decision to release someone from the debt they owe you because of the grace that has already been extended to you in Christ.  Pastor Josh also walks through practical biblical steps toward forgiveness and reconciliation: examine your heart humbly, identify the debt honestly, extend grace, speak wisely, pursue peace, and trust God with justice. Forgiveness is frequent, courageous, and from the heart.

  3. Participation

    May 31

    Participation

    In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Josh teaches on participation: the call for believers to move beyond passive observation and actively live out their faith in Christ. The Christian life is not meant to be watched from a distance. It is meant to be lived with genuine love, fervent faith, deep community, forgiveness, hospitality, and prayer.  Through Romans 12, this message contrasts the marks of a true Christian with the patterns of the surrounding culture. While culture often celebrates retaliation, self-protection, and conditional love, followers of Jesus are called to bless those who persecute them, overcome evil with good, and pursue a life shaped by Christ. Pastor Josh highlights three practical anchors from Romans 12:12: rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer.  Participation means abiding in Christ daily, pursuing the family of God intentionally, and prioritizing prayer so that our lives are formed by the presence of God rather than the pull of culture.

  4. Glorification

    May 24

    Glorification

    In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Wade teaches on glorification: the final stage of salvation when God raises believers to new life, makes them fully like Jesus, brings them into perfect fellowship with Him, and frees them forever from sin, suffering, and death.  Glorification speaks to our bodies, our character, and our destination. One day, our lowly bodies will be transformed like Christ’s glorious body. One day, the battle with sin and temptation will end, and we will be made fully like Jesus. And one day, we will dwell in the presence of God in the new heavens and new earth, where death, mourning, crying, and pain are no more.  Because our future is glory, we can live with hope in the present. Glorification gives believers strength to grieve, suffer, fight temptation, and live sacrificially with their eyes fixed on Jesus.

  5. Multiplication

    May 17

    Multiplication

    In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Josh teaches on multiplication and the call of every believer to go and make disciples. In a culture shaped by consumer Christianity, it is easy to treat church like a service to attend rather than a mission to join. But Jesus did not give the church a great "option", He gave us the Great Commission.  Pastor Josh explains the difference between our primary and secondary calling. Our primary calling is the same for every believer: to follow Jesus and make disciples. Our secondary calling is the unique expression of that mission through our gifts, vocation, and context. When those get flipped, we drift into passivity, spiritual stagnation, and a faith that revolves around being served instead of being sent.  This message is a call to recover ordinary obedience, align our ambition with the heart of God, and step into the places God has already assigned us, our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and everyday relationships, with courage and compassion.

  7. Mortification

    May 3

    Mortification

    In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Kai teaches on mortification: the daily, Spirit-empowered putting to death of sin in the life of the believer. Romans 8 reminds us that those who belong to Christ are no longer condemned, no longer ruled by sin, and no longer indebted to the flesh. Instead, we are called to set our minds on the things of the Spirit and walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for us.  Mortification is not legalism, self-hatred, or behavior management. It is the ongoing work of killing sin by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we name sin honestly, confess it quickly, starve it, fight it with the Word and prayer, look to Christ, and walk with other believers, God forms us into the likeness of Jesus.

  8. Sanctification

    Apr 26

    Sanctification

    In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Josh teaches on sanctification: the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit that progressively forms believers into the likeness of Christ and frees us from the power of sin. While justification frees us from the penalty and guilt of sin, sanctification is how God continues transforming us over time. It is slow, intentional, and often painful, but always shaped by grace. We do not grow by striving to earn God’s love, but by abiding in Christ, surrendering daily, confessing sin honestly, and remembering who we are in Him. Sanctification is not behavior management. It is Spirit-led formation flowing from justification.
