  1. Who We Are: Love People. Live Sent.

    2D AGO

    Who We Are: Love People. Live Sent.

    What does it really mean to live sent? In this message, we explore how mission doesn’t start with going far; it starts with loving close. Jesus built His mission through ordinary people who were willing to show up, stay faithful, and be present in everyday life. From the Great Commandment to the Great Commission, this teaching challenges the idea that mission is only for professionals and reminds us that every follower of Jesus is sent; into homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and beyond. Learn how proximity shapes influence, why obedience matters more than outcomes, and how faithful presence can change lives over time. 2.8.2026 - Message 4

  2. Who We Are: Deep Roots. Lasting Fruit.

    Who We Are: Deep Roots. Lasting Fruit.

    In this message from John 15, we explore what it means to build a life that endures. Jesus reminds us that lasting fruit never comes from effort alone, but from staying connected to the true source of life. Shallow faith may look healthy for a season, but only deep roots can withstand storms and produce fruit that lasts. This sermon unpacks the difference between being near Jesus and abiding in Him, the slow rhythms that form spiritual depth, and why pruning, though painful, is often God’s way of preparing us for greater growth. Along the way, we’re reminded that discipleship is intentional, community is essential, and the fruit God grows in our lives is meant to bless others, especially in our homes, and to glorify Him for generations to come. Deep roots are not built by accident, and lasting fruit doesn’t grow overnight. When we remain in Christ, God does a steady, faithful work that endures long after we are gone. 2.1.2026 - Message 3

  3. Hearing God's Voice In A Noisy World

    Hearing God's Voice In A Noisy World

    We live in one of the loudest times in history, yet many believers struggle to discern God’s voice. We pray, read Scripture, and listen to sermons, but still wonder, “Is God speaking to me?” In this message from 1 Samuel 3:1–14, we walk through the calling of Samuel to learn how God speaks, why His voice is sometimes misunderstood, and how humility, attentiveness, and obedience shape spiritual discernment. We discover:• Why God’s silence is often perceived, not real• How Scripture anchors God’s will• Why divided attention dulls spiritual clarity• How obedience deepens spiritual understanding This message invites us to move beyond the noise and rediscover the simple prayer: “Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.” 1.25.2026

  4. Who We Are: Truth. Not Trends.

    JAN 19

    Who We Are: Truth. Not Trends.

    In a culture where feelings often outrank facts and relevance is mistaken for faithfulness, how do we stay grounded in what is true? In this message, we explore why truth must anchor the church and shape discipleship. Drawing from Hebrews 4, we see that God’s Word is not meant to harm us, but to heal us; like a scalpel that exposes what is deadly so restoration can begin. We address the dangers of untethered empathy, the influence of therapeutic and cultural trends on the modern church, and the quiet drift that often feels like compassion or relevance rather than rebellion. We’re reminded that trends are temporary, but God’s truth is timeless, and that when the church loses truth, it also loses its witness. Finally, we look at what can change and what must never change, and how living out Truth. Not Trends. shapes us as a church; not just in what we believe, but in how we live, love, and engage the world. This message challenges us to remain clear in conviction, deep in compassion, and anchored in the enduring truth of God’s Word. 1.18.2026 - Message 2

  5. Who We Are: Building What Lasts

    JAN 13

    Who We Are: Building What Lasts

    Why does a church exist, and why does clarity matter? In this message, we begin the Who We Are series by exploring how drift happens when purpose is unclear, and why intentionality is essential for building what truly lasts. Rooted in Scripture, we look at God as the ultimate builder and our role in faithfully partnering with Him. We introduce our mission, “Building a community of disciples who glorify God for generations,” and unpack what it means to pursue real community, live out discipleship, and orient our lives around God’s glory, not just for today, but for those who come after us. Whether you’re new to church or have been walking with Christ for years, this message invites you to move from simply attending to living with purpose, as we commit together to build what lasts. 1.11.2026 - Message 1

    The Story We Tell Ourselves

    Join Aaron Sanders as he invites us to explore the power of narrating your story from God’s perspective. The loudest preacher in your life is the voice inside your head, and it does not always tell the truth. When we align that inner voice with Scripture, our identity, hope, and purpose come into clearer focus. Make sure the voice you’re listening to is preaching Truth. 1.4.26

  7. Wonder: Carry the Wonder

    JAN 6

    Wonder: Carry the Wonder

    Christmas has a way of reawakening awe, especially in children; but once the decorations come down and life returns to normal, that sense of wonder can fade. In this family service message, we’re reminded that wonder was never meant to be packed away with the lights and ornaments. Through simple, visual object lessons, we explore how the wonder of Christmas begins with Light, is meant to be Treasured, changes what we Carry, grows when it’s Shared, and stays alive when it’s properly Fueled. Kids and adults alike are invited to rediscover a childlike attentiveness to what God is doing, not just during the Christmas season, but in everyday life. This message encourages families and individuals to move beyond celebrating Christmas as an event and instead live it as a way of life; carrying the light of Christ into homes, schools, workplaces, and relationships all year long. Because when Christmas is over, we don’t pack wonder away; we carry it with us. Message 5 12.28.25

  8. Wonder: Turning Toward Wonder

    12/24/2025

    Wonder: Turning Toward Wonder

    In this message from Luke 2:8–20, we see how the Christmas story turns in unexpected ways. God reveals His glory to unlikely people, replaces fear with joy, offers peace through a Savior, and invites us back into wonder. This sermon calls us to turn away from familiarity and distraction and turn again toward awe, worship, and a life changed by Jesus. Message 4 12.21.25
