Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues a series on the life of Peter. When Peter first started following Jesus, he witnessed three moments of power and healing, which left Him wide-eyed and astonished. Wouldn't seeing Jesus' power and healing in person be great? It seems like it would make believing and following so much easier! Yet, Jesus isn't physica…

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen concludes a series on women of the Bible. Jesus' mother, Mary, is the most famous woman in the world's history.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible. Many of us have heard how God worked through the Old Testament leader Moses. But perhaps, not many of us remember how God worked through his sister as well. Miriam first stepped up when she was around 8 years old and then again 80 years later. There are many wonderful lessons…

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is starting a series on women of the Bible. Let's be honest: the Bible can feel male-dominated. It's written by men, and it's mostly about men. Plus, Jesus was a man, and all the apostles were men. Yet, we know that we all have a place and that God loves both men and women. So, Pastor Josh will answer six questions about…

Associate Pastor Ron King is concluding a series on prayer as a spiritual discipline. There are two essential settings in your prayer life: in a community with other believers and alone in solitude.

Associate Pastor Ron King is talking about finishing well. The end of David's life raises two critical questions that the apostle Paul writes about in his letters to Timothy. They are questions that we seldom consider well. How do I want to finish my race? And How can I help others run well to the end? Today, we have a panel of friends to help us e…

We'll dive into that tragic ending today, and …

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the life of David. We all have some part of our history that we are embarrassed by, ashamed of, and maybe even haunted by. We've all done things we know we shouldn't have, and we've thought things we know we shouldn't. What do we do with those shameful memories? Do they matter? Does God see them? Do…

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues a series on the life of David. David demonstrates God's mercy by how he treats Saul and his family. David doesn't see Saul as an enemy, doesn't do what everybody expects, and doesn't take vengeance into his own hands.
