In this message from Pastor Ryan on October 19, 2025, we continue our journey through Nahum chapter 2, where God’s warning to Nineveh becomes a declaration of judgment. Once shown mercy in Jonah’s day, the people of Nineveh turned back to pride, violence, and sin — and now face the full weight of God’s wrath. Pastor Ryan unpacks how God’s holiness is both a warning to the wicked and a hope to His people, showing that ...

We all know overeating is unhealthy — but what if gluttony is about far more than food? In this week’s message from Philippians 3:17–21, Pastor Ryan shows how gluttony sneaks into our lives as overindulgence, waste, and unchecked appetites that quietly take God’s place in our hearts. Gluttony gives us the wrong example to follow, becomes a cruel master that enslaves us, and blinds us to the true freedom we have in Chr...
In this message from our Weeds series, Pastor Ryan unpacks Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:21–35 and the serious warning against unforgiveness. Our sin against God is an unpayable debt, yet through Christ we are fully forgiven—so we must extend that same forgiveness to others. Forgiveness doesn’t erase pain, restore trust, or remove justice, but it does free us from bitterness and reflects God’s grace at work in us.

Pastor Ryan kicks off our new series Weeds by looking at James 3:1–12 and the hidden sin of the tongue. Our words hold immense power—they can build up or destroy, bless or curse, even reveal the true state of our hearts. This message challenges us to take what we say much more seriously: to speak with integrity, to remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue, and to let our words point people toward Ch...
In the final line of the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray: ‘Deliver us from evil.’ Pastor Jon unpacks what evil is, how Satan seeks to deceive and distract us, and how God promises ultimate deliverance—past, present, and future.

He reminds us that God never tempts us, but we ask Him to lead us away from sin and toward holiness. Rather than praying for comfort, Jesus teaches us to pray for righteousness. The call of this prayer is to trust God’s leadership and follow the example of Christ, who overcame temptation...
In this message from the Down Home series, Pastor Nate Harney teaches on Matthew 6:12b and reminds us that followers of Jesus aren’t bowls that hold on to forgiveness—we’re funnels meant to let God’s forgiveness flow through us. Forgiveness is costly, but Jesus calls us to forgive our debtors just as we have been forgiven.

In this message, Pastor Ryan dives into the powerful words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our debts” (Matthew 6:12a). He unpacks why Jesus chose the word debts, what our sin truly costs before a holy God, and how the cross cancels the record against us. You’ll be challenged to not only acknowledge and ask for forgiveness, but to fully embrace God’s grace—stepping out from shame and into the freedom Christ has won f...
In this sermon from Matthew 6:11, Pastor Jon teaches on the phrase “Give us this day our daily bread” as part of our series on the Lord’s Prayer.

In this message from our Down Home summer series, Pastor Nate Harney walks us through Matthew 6:10b — “Your will be done.” In a culture shaped by on-demand convenience and personalized preferences, it’s easy to fall into a “my will be done” mindset. Pastor Nate explores what it truly means to pray for God’s will above our own, how Scripture reveals both God’s sovereign decrees and His desires for our lives, and how Je...
In this Down Home message, Pastor Ryan Kimmel unpacks the deep meaning behind “Your kingdom come” from Matthew 6:10a. The Kingdom of God is where God is King—a spiritual realm marked by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. It’s already here and still coming. When we pray these words, we’re asking God to replace our ways with His and to live as citizens of His kingdom now. This isn’t about culture wars—it’...
In this message from our Down Home series, Pastor Mitchell Leach unpacks the phrase “Hallowed be Your name” from the Lord’s Prayer. He reminds us that holiness isn’t just a church word—it’s the essence of who God is. In a world that treats nothing as sacred, we’re called to treat God as holy, to rejoice in His greatness, and to tremble before His majesty. This sermon challenges us to worship with intention, pray with ...
