In this new series, we explore the significance of God's presence at the center of our lives, drawing from the Book of Numbers. In the wilderness, the Israelites were called to focus on God’s presence, and we are called to do the same today. We dive into the rituals God gave his people—rituals that reveal deep values and help us center our lives around him.

Jesus not only saves us from our past but also gives us new life, new identity, and new purpose. Through the story of Mary Magdalene, we see the transformative power of Jesus’ resurrection and we are challenged to say “yes” to God’s call and to share the life-changing message of Jesus: Go and tell all to come and see that Jesus saves.

How can we honor Jesus publicly? How does the image of the cross give us the courage to take bold risks for the Kingdom, even in the face of fear or opposition? We explore the powerful transformation from passive, private faith to a bold, public mission, inspired by the courage displayed by Joseph of Arimathea in the wake of Jesus' death.

Whether it’s personal doubts, allegiances to something else, or our own religious filters, we often stand in the way of genuine belief. But the cross confronts and overcomes these barriers by revealing God's character, power, and faithfulness through Christ at the cross.

We look into Nicodemus’ conversation with Jesus, where his curiosity was met with the ultimate revelation of God’s love on the cross. This is the same invitation extended to us to shift our focus from the wrong things and onto the right things to truly find life.

Loving others isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the primary application of the gospel. John’s letter show us practical ways to love one another that leads us to a deeper, more committed love that reflects Christ to the world.

We dive into the powerful truth that the arrival of God’s love in Christ transforms us in every way. When God became human, he demonstrated the ultimate act of love—a love that is worth remembering, celebrating, and sharing.

As we dive into Zephaniah 3:14-20, we see the incredible transformation of fear into joy through the arrival of Christ. God doesn’t leave us in fear—he changes our outcomes and offers his powerful presence, turning our anxiety into unshakable joy. 

As we reflect on the darkness that still exists in the world, we see how Jesus’ arrival brings wisdom, justice, compassion, and blessing—offering true peace to those in need of it. And as recipients of this peace, we are to step into the darkness and offer it too.

In a world marked by longing, pain, and the ongoing battle between good and evil, the Bible tells us that the arrival of King Jesus is the foundation for our hope. Jesus’ victory over the serpent is not just a past event—it is a present reality that allows us to persevere amid life’s struggles.

In this day and age of information, we can easily be swayed and overwhelmed by all the news, whether good or bad, that is readily available at our fingertips. But Paul, in Romans 15:8-13, shows us we can still have joy and peace by believing in the hope that God confirmed in Jesus Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 Paul challenges the Corinthians—and us—to rethink how we view our bodies and desires. As we wrestle with unfulfilled desires, we discuss how trusting in God's goodness and provision can lead to flourishing, and how our bodies can become instruments that reflect God’s life-giving nature to the world.

Christ’s love compels us to a strange but beautiful ministry—one where we move from seeking God’s approval to living out of the fullness of his love, sharing it with others. We are reminded that Jesus is the great minister of reconciliation, and our own experience of being reconciled to God fuels our mission to reach the lost.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus in a culture that idolizes materialism? In this sermon, we'll reflect on the dangers of covetousness and we'll learn to combat anxiety as we seek God’s kingdom through acts of generosity, serving those in need, and cultivating a heart that treasures what truly matters.

Despite the brokenness introduced by sin—affecting marriage, singleness, and the value of children—there is hope that can be found in Christ for redemption. In this sermon, we talk about the importance of pursuing Christ-likeness in our lives and advocating for policies that celebrate and protect the beauty of family.

All human beings bear the image of God. Drawing from Genesis 1:26-27, we are challenged to consider the inherent value of every individual and how this understanding should shape our actions, beliefs, and society as a whole.

What does freedom mean to you? In this sermon, Paul's words challenge us to understand the true nature of freedom in Christ and how it should shape our lives and relationships.

As believers, we are made citizens of the kingdom of God and are called to be witnesses of our invincible King. In this sermon, we tackle the topic of faith and politics to understand what it means to follow Jesus in our cultural moment and how we can live as kingdom citizens in a complex world.

Being set apart for God means we are viewed as strange and weird. We are called not to fit into the mold of this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds through God’s truth in the Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Justin shows us how to live out our faith in ways that may seem counter-cultural, yet beautifully align with God’s purposes.

Why is water baptism important? In Exodus 14, Pastor Quentin shares with us how God demonstrated his saving power over his desperate and lost people surrounded by dead ends and an aggressive enemy. Through this imagery we see that baptism is a divine act showing God’s power to rescue the lost.
