Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen starts a new series on the life of Peter. Peter was one of Jesus' closest friends and one of the Bible's most relatable people. So today, Josh will give an overview of Peter's life, look at Peter's initial calling - which can be a little confusing - and show that we have much to learn from Peter's experience. We're so excited for you to start this series with us.

Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen concludes a series on women of the Bible. Jesus' mother, Mary, is the most famous woman in the world's history. To say Jesus radically changed her life is an understatement. While listening, there are two notable things to remember.


First, Mary's life becomes much more challenging after getting pregnant, but she remains faithful from birth to beyond the cross. 
And second, Mary is a normal person. She isn't prettier, smarter, or tougher than average.

So, she shows us that you, too, can remain faithful to Jesus no matter how challenging life gets. It's worth it.

Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with a compilation of all the previous testimonies. We hope you find it encouraging.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible while celebrating Easter. When Mary Magdalene visits the tomb, she's completely devastated because the person who redeemed her and transformed her life is dead. What's worse, she thinks someone stole Jesus' body, so she can't even grieve properly!

In this moment, Jesus meets Mary and speaks his first words since rising from the dead. And instead of making a bold statement, he asks a question. It's a beautiful moment that each of us can experience.

Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with a compilation of all the previous testimonies. We hope you find it encouraging.

Associate Pastor Ron King is continuing a series on women of the Bible. And this is part two about Hannah. Hanna's song had a significant influence on how others praised God. That's because Hannah's response to having a child after years of infertility:


delights in the Lord
recognizes that nothing compares to the Lord
proclaims that everything good comes from the Lord, and
that we're all accountable before God.

It's a beautiful and heartfelt song.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible. Hannah struggled for years with infertility. There was lots of hurt and dysfunction for Hannah, her husband, Elkanah, and even his second wife, Peninnah. It's a messy and sad situation. But once Hannah surrenders what's most important to her, that's when God does something amazing.

Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging.

Worship Director Justin Jackson is continuing a series on women of the Bible. This is part 2 about Deborah, where we look at four themes from her song after the victory against Jabin, the king of Canaan. In this song, Deborah rightly proclaims that God is the hero of their battle. Like Deborah, God unites us and calls us to battle against evil. And even though the odds may sometimes seem impossible, God will lead us to victory against cruelty and cowardice.

Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging.
