Uncommon Love Oct 12, 2024

Pastor James Powell challenges us that if we are going to love like Jesus, we need to first receive the love that Jesus offered us when He died on a cross to save us. Once we receive love, we are able to fully give it back to God and to others as well.

Uncommon Courage Oct 05, 2024

Pastor Jill Johnson gives us an inspiring call to action to step outside of our comfort zone and show up for people in our lives who need prayer. Living courageously starts with praying three things we can all pray; God help me to be brave, bold, and to be a blessing to others.

Uncommon Eternity Sep 28, 2024

What happens when we die? Pastor Doug Wekenman answers the question that many churches are afraid to talk about. Heaven is real, and hell is real. The questions is not if we will live forever, it is where we will live forever. We as Christians don't often live like we have an uncommon eternity ahead of us. What would it look like if we truly understood what Heaven is going to be like and lived with an urgency of telling everyone we know about the good news of Jesus so we can enjoy eternity together?

Uncommon Community Sep 21, 2024

Uncommon: Don't Forget Where You Came From Sep 07, 2024

Bad Theology: It's Just Me and Jesus Aug 31, 2024

Pastor Conrad Bess preaches from Exodus and pushes back on the bad theology that we don’t need anyone but Jesus. He reminds us that faith is a shared journey.

Money Is the Root of All Evil Aug 24, 2024

Pastor Doug Wekenman addresses the bad theology that 'money is the root of all evil'. He reminds us that scripture says you cannot love God and money, which is not a command but an observation. It is not bad for Christians to be wealthy. God blesses us each in different ways and areas of our lives. It is not about money itself, but rather about how much importance we place on money in our lives.

Is It Okay to Doubt? Aug 17, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson addresses the bad theology that if we have doubts God won’t answer our prayers. He gives five examples from scripture of people who doubted and God still performed miracles in their lives. Perfect faith is not required for God to answer our prayers.

Taking the Test Aug 10, 2024

Pastor James tackles the Bad Theology statement, "God won't put on you more than you can handle". The Bible doesn't promise us that we won't go through trials we can't handle. In fact, it is full of examples of people going through things they cannot take on alone. It does promise us that when we face trials, God goes with us. It's more than we can handle, but not more than God can handle. When we place our circumstances in His hands, our trials point to His glory.

Bad Theology: I Gotta Earn God’s Love Aug 03, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that we don’t have to earn God’s love. It’s not about what we do, it’s about what God has already done!

You are Too Close to Quit Jul 20, 2024

Pastor Bianca teaches on four characteristics of Godly Grit. She reminds us that if we don’t have vision for the end goal we will give up in the middle. Godly grit is possible when we trust God and keep our perspective on Him.

My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me Jul 13, 2024

Pastor Tim Timberlake reminds us that God has already given us peace but our minds can play tricks on us. Where we place our focus determines what we speak and what we speak determines how we live. God works all things, good and bad, for those who love Him. The question is not what is happening in your life, the question is where is your focus?

Through the Eyes of a Lion Jul 06, 2024

Pastor Levi Lusko preaches from his book, “Through the Eyes of a Lion” about how to process pain. We do not have a choice about the circumstances we will face in this life but we do get to choose the lens we process our pain through.

Left Outs and Leftovers Jun 29, 2024

Pastor Brittany Powell shares a powerful message on the power of our obedience when it comes to living open-handed lives. When we trust God with the mess in our hands it becomes a miracle in His. Your obedience is tied to someone else’s freedom, who do you need to pack a lunch for?

There's Something Missing Jun 22, 2024

Jimmy Rollins reminds us that if it’s not good yet, God is not done yet. If you feel like something is missing in your life lean into the unseen and trust that God has an eternal plan for you.

The (Whole) Story Jun 15, 2024

Pastor James Powell gives an empowering and inspiring message about biblical masculinity. The life of Jesus shows us that when culture tells us to “man up”, the gospel reminds us that the best thing we can do is “man down” and kneel at the feet of Jesus.

Do You See What I See: Eternal Perspective Jun 08, 2024

Jordan McCaslin asks the question, "is there an area in your life that is feeling clouded?" He encourages us that when we feel stuck, all hope is not lost. We can lean on God and ask for an eternal perspective over our situation. Our future is secure when our eternity is secure, no matter what our circumstances look like.

This Is How I Fight My Battles Jun 01, 2024

Pastor Doug Wekenman gives us a timely reminder that we have a real enemy who wants nothing more than to steal, kill, and destroy the purpose God has for our lives. The good news of The Gospel is that the battle has already been won, and we can access the power of God against the enemies’ schemes in our lives by putting on the ‘Full Armor of God’ (Ephesians 6).

Why Do We Worship? May 25, 2024

Pastor Conrad Bess reminds us that our praise propels our purpose. We were created to worship, the question is what is our worship fixed on? When our worship is on the God who is deserving of it, we can experience His Holiness and true wholeness.

Invisible Handles May 18, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson kicks off a new series preaching from Joshua about holding on to God’s promises even when we don’t feel His presence. We cannot always see or feel Him but He is faithful and He is always with us and working in our lives. We can stand on His word while we wait on our miracle.

All Is Well May 11, 2024

Pastor Jill Johnson preaches on the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings. Even in the midst of deep sorrow, her life is an example of devotion to God, and steadfast faith. She shows us that when we do life with Jesus, we can say “all is well” even when our circumstances are difficult.

Baptism Spring 2024 May 04, 2024

We celebrate Baptism this weekend as we watch hundreds of people go public with their faith by getting baptized. Water baptism is a visual and symbolic demonstration that a person’s former way of life has been put to death, and he or she is raised into a new creation in Christ.

I've Got A Sound Mind Apr 27, 2024

Pastor Doug Wekenman addresses the topic of mental health and how we can view it from a Biblical context. When we trust in Jesus we can declare a ‘sound mind’ even when we don’t feel it because Jesus died to set us free! When the storms of life come we can cling to the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7 “for God has not given is a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.”

What Is Baptism? Apr 20, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson addresses the topic of Baptism and why it is important in our Christian faith. Baptism is not required for salvation, it is simply an outward expression of an inward change. There are three questions we can consider when it comes to the topic of baptism; "should I be getting baptized?", "who should I invite to a baptism service?", and "if I am baptized already, is there an area in my life God is asking me to be obedient?".

The Vine Apr 13, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson closes out our “I Am” series with a message on Jesus’ statement, “I Am the Vine.” He reminds us that there are practical ways to stay connected to God and therefore find purpose in our lives. When we pray, find God-centered community, and get into The Word we find ourselves closer to our Creator and we see the fruit of walking with Him in our lives.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life Apr 06, 2024

Pastor James preaches on the sixth “I Am” statement in the Gospel of John where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, the life.” Jesus takes Thomas’s questions about ‘when?’, ‘where?’, and ‘how?’ and replies with a ‘who.’ All we need to do is look to Jesus. He can handle our doubts and our questions and He will lead us through those questions into deeper relationship and eternal life through Him.

The Resurrection and the Life Mar 30, 2024

Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that because of Easter everything changes! Our God is big and powerful but also close and personal. There is nothing He cannot handle and the promise of Easter is that because of Christ we can live in freedom.

The Good Shepherd Mar 23, 2024

Jesus is our Good Shepherd and that means that not only does He care about us, but He walks with us through every season. Even in the darkest valleys of our life He promises we will never be alone.

The Door Mar 16, 2024

Doug Wekenman continues our "I Am" series with Jesus' third "I Am" statement in the gospel of John where He says, "I am the door." In this one statement Jesus proclaims that He is the one and only way to abundant life both here on earth, and forever in Heaven. The door is not exclusive, but it is specific. Jesus came to save everyone, and in His perfect love and grace He gives us the option to choose Him or to choose our own way. He made a way when there was no way!

The Light of the World Mar 09, 2024

Pastor Shawn continues our "I Am" series with the second "I Am" statement from the Gospel of John, "I am the light of the world." He gives us context into the true magnitude of that statement to its original audience. The same life-altering message of freedom that it offered back then is true for us today.

The Bread of Life Mar 02, 2024

Doug Wekenman kicks off a new series about the book of John. The "I Am" series will explore the seven "I Am" statements Jesus makes in the Bible and ask the question, "Who is God?" Jesus says He is the "Bread of Life" and that means that not only is He our provision (what we need) but He is also our satisfaction (what we want). When we look to Him as our source, we find that only He can satisfy our deepest hunger.

Christmas: Messy or Amazing? Dec 23, 2023
