Episodes
Pastor Emeritus, Steve Starr, shares his personal testimony of responding to God's call with a willing heart, saying, "Here I am." Reflecting on Isaiah, Jonah, and a devotion from the devotional, Experiencing God Day by Day by Henry Blackaby, he challenges us to surrender fully and trust the One who sends.
God reminds us in 1 Samuel 3, that He is still speaking—often through the young and willing. Are you ready to say “Here I am” before knowing all the details, and create space to hear His voice in the quiet?
How does God transforms ordinary people into extraordinary instruments of His mission? Learn how paying attention, drawing closer, and being open to transformation can help you respond to the burning bush moments in your life.
In the kickoff to our Mission Possible series, we explore the Hebrew word “Hineni,” meaning “Here I am,” and the life-changing posture of surrender it invites. Discover how saying “Hineni” can open your heart to God's mission and transform what feels impossible into mission possible.
In this follow-up message, Pastor Kurt challenges us to move from being sharpened to sharpening others. Mentoring is not about having all the answers. It is about being present, real, and intentional. You do not need a platform to make an impact—just a heart willing to invest in someone else.
Key Quote: "A sharpened axe isn't a trophy. It's a tool."
Discover how your story, your time, and your faith can shape someon...
This week we explored the power of mentoring in spiritual growth and leadership development. God often shapes us through intentional relationships. Where and how might He be sharpening you right now?
Join us as we celebrate what God has done at Faith Cov this year!
In the final message of our Practicing the Way series, we explore the ultimate reward of following Jesus—Jesus Himself. True life begins when we die to our false selves and come alive in the identity God created us to live, walking the way of the cross with Christ.
Looking for a life of deeper meaning and purpose? This week’s message invites you to explore how love, in the Way of Jesus, becomes a “joyous burden” that transforms our everyday actions into a life of grace and abundance.
Explore the importance of doing what Jesus did, as highlighted in John 14:12. In a world seeking meaning, our actions reveal the reality of our relationship with Jesus, showing others that He is present and active through us.
In our Practicing the Way series, we explore how becoming more like Jesus is a slow, consistent process shaped by who we follow and what we prioritize. Who or what is forming you today, and how are you actively choosing to reflect Jesus in your life?
Our series Practicing the Way, inspired by John Mark Comer, invites us to become true apprentices of Jesus. If Jesus is the Way, then the practices we follow are not the goal themselves—but pathways to deeper connection with Him.
God speaks to each of us in ways we can receive, just as He did with the first disciples. In Thomas' doubt, he was honest about needing to hear from Jesus, and God met him there. Even when we can't see Him, Jesus still speaks to us in ways we can hear and believe.
Easter reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus still speaks powerfully today. It gives us rootedness in a greater story, union with Christ and one another, and deep hope that death and despair never have the final word.
We celebrate Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry of Jesus, with vibrant worship, waving palm branches and a powerful message from our guest pastor, Greg Yee, Superintendent of the PacNW Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
Engage deeply with God through the themes of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.
Lynda Randolph wraps up our series this week. We complete our Life App: Real Tools for Real Life series with the Life App of Love—both the deep connection of philia love and the selfless sacrifice of agape love. Grounded in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, we’re reminded that true love means loving God fully and loving others well.
In our Life App series, we explore the Life App of Mutual Affection—brotherly kindness expressed through both feeling and action. Discover how building genuine connection takes proximity, time, and a willingness to understand and extend grace to one another.
Discover what it truly means to live a life of godliness—not about perfection or religiosity, but reflecting God's character in our relationships. This message explores John 13:1-7 and how godliness is choosing humility over pride, kindness over recognition, giving over receiving, and love over hate.
True self-control is rooted in love. Discover how God's love secures our identity, shapes our self-worth, and guides us to live with purpose in this week's Life App message.
