Do you want joy? One of the most dependable happiness engines is gratitude. So, how do we become more grateful? In Luke 17 Jesus tells a difficult story that points us to how we can have greater faith, gratitude and joy. It’s achieved not just by believing Christianity, but by living it out.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 17:5-10
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
When emotions run high, it’s easy to react in ways that escalate conflict—bitterness, blame, harsh words. But God calls us to a better way with Ground Rule #4—Act, don’t react. This week, we’ll learn how to respond with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness—even when it’s hard. Don’t let reactions rule you; let Christ lead you.
Passage: Ephesians 4:31-32; Romans 5:8, 10
Speaker: Kurt Goglin
...Conflict is inevitable—but how we handle it makes all the difference. This week’s message explores Rule #3: Attack the problem, not the person, a biblical principle that helps us speak truth without tearing each other down. Instead of letting pride, blame, or hurtful words divide us, we’ll learn how to face issues with humility, grace, and a commitment to real solutions. Together, we’ll discover how God can transform conflict into ...
Healthy relationships require maintenance. Unlike fashion, unresolved conflict in relationships doesn’t improve with time—it grows worse. Ephesians 4 reminds us: don’t let anger control you or linger. Keep current—deal with issues quickly, forgive fully, and pursue peace like God did with us through Jesus.
Passage: Ephesians 4:26-28; Galatians 4:4-6
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
Wherever people come together, conflict is inevitable. Relationships can be a source of both deep joy and real pain. That’s why this series is here: to meet you right where you are—at home, at work, and in your community—and offer God’s wisdom for navigating relational challenges. We’re calling them Ground Rules: practical, biblical guidance to help you build healthier relationships marked by healing, hope, and lastin...
This Father’s Day message challenges the myth that great dads are made in big, unforgettable moments. Instead, it highlights the quiet power of ordinary, consistent, and faithful routines in everyday life. Grounded in Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6, the message calls dads to love God first, lead with presence, and use the time they have to shape their children’s hearts.
Passage: Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesia...
Mountaintop experiences are beautiful and memorable, but our lives are shaped in the valleys. In fact, the view from the mountaintop is even more meaningful when you’ve spent time at the bottom. Jesus spent time in the valleys—weeping, praying, and trusting in God’s plan for Him—even knowing that He would ultimately conquer the mountain. He knows that the God of the mountain is also the God of the valley.
What kind of God asks you to sacrifice your child? What kind of father would agree? Join us as we journey to Mount Moriah to explore one of the Bible’s most perplexing stories—one that wrestles with the most important question we can ask God: “Can I trust you?”
Passage: Genesis 22
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
Glory is recognized greatness. Many people live for glory—for recognition. Actually, don’t we all, at least a little? But what if you were made for glory—not your own, but God’s? What if you could soak in and reflect His greatness and glory? How do we do that?
Passage: Matthew 17:1-8
Speaker: Kurt Goglin
Some of the greatest moments in human history have taken place on the legendary mountaintops of Egypt, Israel, and Syria. Journey with us to these sacred places of awe and beauty—not only to reflect on what God has done in the past, but to discover what He wants to do in your life during your own mountaintop moments. Fear can cripple us physically, causing everything from high blood pressure and heart attacks to insom...
No matter who you are—whether you’re a mom, a man, or a woman—we all share something in common: we have expectations for life. We imagine who we’ll become, what our lives will look like, and even how we’ll handle the challenges that come our way. But when life falls short of those expectations, we experience disappointment. Sometimes that disappointment is small and easy to brush off. Other times, it feels overwhelmin...
Jesus sacrificed His life for the very people who spit in his face - even those who were his closest friends who vowed to stick with Him even unto death. Kings normally ask others to sacrifice their lives for them, but Jesus sacrificed His life for others.
Passage: John 10:1-18
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
Only Jesus uses His power and position to perfectly serve others. As the King of kings, He did tasks reserved for the lowest servant, because His mission was to serve, not to be served.
Passage: John 13
Speaker: Kurt Goglin
We are used to kings who use their power to their advantage, see their position as a way to get what is best for them, and whose power is limited. But Jesus is not like other kings. Jesus uses His power and position to serve and sacrifice, and even death cannot stop His reign. Jesus is more than just a savior, He is a king like no other.
No other ruler has ever proven themselves to be sovereign over deat...
Jesus changes lives. Hopefully, you've experienced that firsthand, and if you have, it's time for you to go and tell! When we receive good news, we want to shout it from the mountaintops, but when it comes to the Good News of Jesus, it seems harder, doesn't it? What would happen if we all adopted the mindset of the man Jesus healed in Mark 5 and shared this good news with our friends and family? What's stopping you from sharing the...
Throughout the Gospel of John, we see the phrase "come and see" used to invite people into a relationship with Jesus. More often than not, those who spoke these words had little knowledge of Jesus, but they knew He was worth following. You don’t need all the answers to know that Jesus is good. You may feel like you don’t know enough about Jesus, the Bible, or Christianity as a whole, but you can still share what you d...
We all love sharing good news, and it’s easy when it comes to your favorite sports team winning, getting a promotion at work, or acing that last test. So what makes it so difficult to share the good news about Jesus Christ with those around you and how can we do it better? In this series, we’ll look at three different methods for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to help you invite your friends and family to trust...
If God can’t stop evil and suffering, then He isn’t all- powerful. If God doesn’t want to stop evil, then He isn’t all-good. Since evil exists, a good, all-powerful God cannot exist... but what if there’s something missing in that calculation? Join us as we honestly explore the oldest of all doubts and the unexpected answer the Bible gives to the seemingly unsolvable problem of suffering.
Passage: Romans...
How can Christianity be true when some Christians are hateful and hypocritical? It’s actually worse than that. All Christians are hypocrites because hypocrisy is inconsistency and no one is perfectly, morally consistent. We as Christians need to follow Christ better, but does the truth of Christianity rest on who we are, or on who Christ is?
1 Peter 2
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
A belief that has never been questioned is a belief that has never been tested. God isn’t afraid of our doubts, and neither should we be. Your doubts don’t make you a bad Christian; they make you human. Let’s explore the questions we’ve been afraid to ask and discover how doubt can actually strengthen our faith.
Does science disprove the Bible, or does it complement it? Does being a Christian require intellectual surrender, or does...
