Why My Emotions Matter To God / Triggered / Week 1

Let's be real, our emotions can be super complex and downright frustrating at times. Sadness, anger, fear and love: if we're honest, it's a lost easier to numb or dismiss these emotions than deal with them! We often separate them from our spirituality, thinking they are two separate things, but what if God sees your emotions differently and deeply cares how you feel? In this sermon, we will see that God designed you to have "all the feels", and by understanding and embracing God's design our emotions can lead to a deeper understanding of God and allow us to grow in our faith.

Neighboring Above And Beyond / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 4

We all work really hard to make our lives easy and comfortable. But when it comes to loving our neighbor, Jesus says it's more than being friendly and polite. In fact, He says truly loving our neighbor will often cost us something and push us beyond our comfort zones. In this sermon, we explore why we are so uncomfortable with this idea and also why making such a countercultural decision to love others is worth it.

For most of us hospitality is reserved for family and friends around birthday parties, BBQ's, and holidays.

What Loving Your Neighbor Means / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 1

When we hear the phrase "love your neighbor" we often think of treating others with kindness, compassion, and respect. To be a good human is to "love your neighbor". But what if that's not what Jesus meant? What if it's not a metaphor, but a command to love your actual neighbor? In this sermon, we see from the Bible what it means to love your neighbor, who your neighbor actually is, and what steps you can take to start doing so.

How Difficulties Expose Your True Self / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 3

When facing adversity, tough circumstances, and difficult people, we tend to react...well, poorly. After all, we were wronged! It wasn't our fault! We deserve better! But our reactions act like a mirror that reflects what's in our hearts, and exposes our hidden thoughts and character. And at times, when what's in our hearts comes out through our words and actions, it can even surprise us! So what do we do about it? In this sermon, we discover that we have a choice in how we respond in these situations and learn from the Bible how to allow God to grow and transform us into the people He wants us to be through these times.

When Life Gets Tough / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 2

We've all experienced those moments when it feels like everything in our lives is falling apart. We long for comfort, security, and immediate solutions. We want God to fix our problems and make everything better. And when it doesn't happen, doubts and questions start to surface. But these are the moments where our faith is tested. In this sermon, we will see that God is not distant in hard times and that when we trust God in the midst of hardship, something incredible happens. God uses those hard times to shape us, to grow us, and to strengthen our faith.

If we're honest, many of us feel more comfortable being the authors of our own lives and it can be daunting to feel like we are giving up control of our own lives. But what if you knew for a fact that God had something better planned? Something you'd miss if you never took the risk? In this sermon, we are talking about what a life written by God can look like, why the risk is worth it, and how you can make your first move to hand the pen over to God.

From Doubt To Boldness / Raise Your Game / Week 1

Are you struggling to share your faith with others? Do you feel unsure of how to start a conversation about Jesus? Maybe you feel that your faith is still too small to talk with anyone else about it. You're not alone! But the good news is that God can give us the confidence to share our faith. In this sermon, we'll explore how our confidence in God equips us to live like Jesus and tell others about him. Ultimately, we'll see that sharing our faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting in God's power and love enough to obey and allow Him to transform hearts and lives.
