Domino Effect: When Pride Meets Its Match - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
In "Domino Effect: When Pride Meets Its Match", we look at 1 Samuel 25 and three leaders, David, Nabal, and Abigail; each revealing something powerful about character under pressure. David, usually after God’s heart, nearly lets anger lead him to bloodshed after being insulted by the arrogant and unteachable Nabal. But then Abigail steps in, wise, courageous, and humble. She diffuses the crisis and reminds David of his great...

Domino Effect: When Weakness Hides Behind Strength - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
This week, we looked at the tragic and powerful life of Samson from Judges 13–16. Like the Surfside condo collapse, Samson’s fall didn’t come from a single moment, but from years of inner erosion. He was chosen by God, set apart as a Nazirite, and gifted with incredible strength. But gifting outpaced his character. He pursued what was "right in his own eyes," ignoring godly wisdom, his Nazirite calling, and God's ...

Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First - Pastor Colby Rohde

August 22, 2025
In Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First, we examine the tragic decline of King Saul in 1 Samuel, a man who started with promise but drifted through compromise. Chosen by God and anointed by Samuel, Saul ignored warnings, took spiritual detours, and let fear, pride, and control guide his decisions. His downfall wasn’t sudden, it was a slow fade of partial obedience.In a moment of honesty, Saul confesses, “I have ac...

Domino Effect: When Faith Defies the Odds - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
In Domino Effect: When Faith Defies the Odds, we meet Gideon in Judges 6–7, a man hiding in fear while his people suffer under oppression. Yet God calls him a “mighty man of valor.” Gideon questions everything, but God doesn’t wait for him to be fearless, He calls him while he’s still afraid. Then God does the unthinkable: He shrinks Gideon’s army from 32,000 to 300. Why? So Israel would know th...

Domino Effect: When Courage Leads First - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
To kick off Domino Effect, we explore how biblical courage isn’t reckless bravery, it’s faith-filled obedience, even when outcomes are unclear. Joshua’s journey shows us that courage often comes before clarity or victory. In the planning stage, God tells Joshua to meditate on His Word and trust His presence, reminding us that real courage starts by trusting God’s voice over our own understanding. When the ...

Easter: The Ultimate Rescue Mission - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
In "Easter: The Ultimate Rescue Mission", we look at Luke 19:1–10 and the story of Zacchaeus, a wealthy, rejected tax collector whose life is transformed by one encounter with Jesus. As Jesus nears Jerusalem, this moment marks His final personal interaction before the cross, and it’s no accident. Zacchaeus climbs a tree to see Jesus, but the miracle is that Jesus sees him first. Despite his past, Jesus calls him by nam...

In "Who is Jesus?: The Missing Persons Report", we explore Luke 15, where Jesus tells three parables, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, to reveal God’s heart for those far from Him. Each story highlights not only the tragedy of what’s lost, but the passionate pursuit of the one who searches. Jesus shared these stories in response to criticism from religious leaders, showing that God’s love doesn&rs...

Who Is Jesus?: The Distraction Dilemma - Pastor Colby Rohde

August 22, 2025
In our series "Who Is Jesus?: The Distraction Dilemma", we look at the moment Jesus visits Mary and Martha. Martha is overwhelmed with busyness, while Mary sits at Jesus’ feet, simply listening. Jesus gently corrects Martha, not because serving is wrong, but because she let it take priority over being with Him. Distraction isn’t just about activity, it’s about what captures our hearts. We often get so caught up i...

Who Is Jesus?: 12 Ordinary Men Who Changed The World - Pastor Seth Kirschner

August 22, 2025
We are going to take a closer look at Luke 6:12–16—a short passage that holds a powerful truth. Here, we see Jesus stepping away from the crowds, spending the night in prayer, and then doing something extraordinary: He chooses twelve men to be His closest followers. These weren’t religious elites or flawless leaders. They were ordinary, diverse, deeply flawed individuals—fishermen, tax collectors, skeptics. ...

Who Is Jesus?: The Gospel Investigation - Pastor Christopher Coats

His name is spoken in every language and etched into history, yet how well do we truly know Him?Some dismiss Him as just another religious figure. Others see Him as a wise teacher or a kind man.

Who Is Jesus?: The Mission Manifesto - Pastor Colby Rohde

August 22, 2025
What if the church isn’t what you think it is? Maybe you’ve seen it as a place for the already perfect, the super spiritual, or the ones who have it all figured out. But Jesus had a radically different vision that shocked people then and still challenges us today. We’re diving into a moment when Jesus walked into His hometown synagogue and dropped a truth bomb, revealing exactly what His mission was all abou...

August 22, 2025
We’ve all made mistakes, felt the weight of guilt, or carried burdens that seem too heavy to bear. But what if holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about transformation? What if God isn’t just calling us to follow rules, but to experience a deeper, more powerful connection with Him?

Into The Wilderness: From Bondage to Breakthrough - Pastor Colby Rohde

August 22, 2025
No one likes to be disregarded, ignored, or overlooked. Rejection can weigh us down and burden our hearts. But there is one exception, being “passed over” in judgment.

Clarity in The Chaos: Suffering Sovereignty and Seeing God - Pastor Christopher Coats

August 22, 2025
Have you ever wondered why God allows suffering? Job did, too. He lost everything—his wealth, family, and health— and he wanted answers. His friends were of little help, and Job became bitter over time. Yet, the story of Job reveals that encountering God is actually more powerful than getting answers. When Job finally sees God, everything changes. The same is true for us! How can we move from just hearing about God to ...

We all know that some words simply carry a heavy weight— words that stir up feelings of pain, bias, injustice, and fear. So when we encounter these words in Scripture, it’s easy to feel confused or even triggered, unsure of how to understand or apply them. But what if instead of shying away, we leaned into these words and discovered something powerful?
