How To Honor God With Your Life / 1 Peter / Week 3
Do our everyday choices even matter? The things we do, say, or prioritize can feel like they don't have a purpose in the bigger picture. But they do. They matter to God, and they have the ability to make a lasting impact on everyone around us. Pastor Steven Lucas shares how each of us are made for a specific purpose, and how we can change the look of a neighborhood, a business, a sports team, or a family when we focus on God's purpose for our lives.

Is My Faith Worth THE COST? / 1 Peter / Week 2
What happens when your faith starts costing you more than you want? Naturally, you start to question whether it's worth staying committed. After all, it seems everyone around you gets to make the choices that bring instant gratification, while much faith requires you to play the long game. In this sermon, we're talking about how you can resist the temptation to compromise in your faith and give you the encouragement to stay committed and energized in your journey of faith.

Freedom From Guilt And Shame / 1 Peter / Week 1
Guilt and shame are heavy. It's carrying around the weight of both what we did (or what happened to us), and the weight of making sure nobody else finds out. We can try to change our behavior, find our worth in other things, and do good to hopefully make up for it, but at the end of the day many of us still struggle to believe that God could love and forgive us. In this sermon, we'll see from the Bible that not only does God still have love and forgiveness to offer us, but that He can allow us to drop the burden we carry and find true freedom and healing.

How To Know Jesus / Identity Theft / Week 3
There is a difference between knowing about someone and really knowing someone. A lot of people might know about Jesus, but how do you really get to know him? Can you know him personally? Do you have to be a religious person? Does your past impact your ability to know Jesus? In this sermon, we talk about how your list of accomplishments, your past, and your religious achievements doesn't make you right with God and how you can move to really knowing Jesus.

Has Your Identity Been Hijacked? / Identity Theft / Week 1
Everyday we are surrounded by voices trying to speak into our lives as to what should define us. But not all of our identities are created equal. In order for you to have healthy relationships and be healthy mentally, emotionally, and spiritually yourself they can't all be equal! So which identity is most important? In this sermon, we're talking about how you can begin to navigate the confusion and ultimately discover who you really are and how you can find true freedom, peace, and comfort in your life.

Letting God Use You / Church Defined / Week 5
God has so much more for you than to digest religious content. God says, I have a job for you. One that I have uniquely designed you to do. We might be looking to God and faith to bring value or comfort to our lives, but what we often miss is that God has a purpose for you to carry out! A purpose that He has designed specifically for you! One that brings joy, motivation, and the opportunity for you to make a difference in the world. So what is this purpose and how can you find it?

Who Is The Church For? (It's Probably Not Who You Think) / Church Defined / Week 4
What if the assumptions you have about the church right now are completely untrue? What if they are actually what's keeping you from what God has always wanted for your life. What if church was never about a building or a service but God has a much bigger purpose not only for His church but for you?

What It Looks Like To Live Biblically Centered / The Church Defined / Week 2
Where can we find truth? Who determines it? Is truth able to be understood at all? Can my truth be different from yours? Where does God fit into all of this? If He really wanted to make my life better, why does it seem like the Bible has so many rules? This week we're talking about why God gave us the Bible to live by and how it can impact your life.
