We were never meant to carry the weight of life entirely on our own. Yet, our culture, our technology, and our own habits often isolate us, leaving us to pull every heavy load up the stairs by ourselves.

Following Jesus isn't just a Sunday event.  It's a daily choice. While corporate worship, community, and service are essential parts of our growth, they aren't enough on their own to form us into disciples who make disciples. Becoming like Jesus requires us to intentionally practice daily spiritual habits.

Someone showed you how to follow Jesus, and now it's up to us to return the favor. In this message, we finish up our series, Disciple: Charting the Course to Discipleship, by exploring the final step of our process—Encounter Mission. Looking at the example of Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos in Acts 18, we see that discipleship requires a response and that the result of true discipleship is evangelism.

‍Following Jesus was never meant to be done in isolation. In this message, we continue our series, Disciple, by exploring the third step of our process, Encounter Community. Looking at the early church in Acts 2, we see that faith is designed to grow in circles rather than rows.

What does it mean to move from simply believing in Jesus to actively following Him? In this message, we continue our series, Disciple, by exploring the second step of our discipleship process, Encounter Purpose. Using the acrostic SHAPE, we look at how God uniquely designs each of us with spiritual gifts, passions, abilities, personalities, and life experiences to serve His kingdom.

What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this message, we kick off our new series, Disciple, by looking at the story of the Philippian jailer in Acts 16. We explore why casual church attendance isn't enough to build deep faith, and how we can be intentional about helping people encounter God, build community, discover purpose, and live out on mission.

‍Have you ever felt like you were walking around walls that just wouldn't fall? Whether it's a health struggle, a financial burden, or a long-awaited prayer, waiting for God to move can feel like the hardest battle of all.

We all carry burdens we weren’t meant to bear alone. Whether it is a mistake we are trying to hide or a struggle that feels impossible to overcome, we often try to carry the weight on our own. But what if the invitation from God is not to fix ourselves, but to simply run back to Him?

We often think of following God as a set of rules or a specific way of life. But what if it is something much deeper? What if true worship is not just about what we say, but about complete and total surrender to God?

We all want our lives to matter, but the search for purpose can often lead to exhaustion. We feel the pressure to find the "perfect" calling, often becoming paralyzed by the fear that we are squandering our potential or missing our mission. But what if your purpose isn't found in a grand, world-changing career, but in the everyday obedience of following Jesus?

Whether you're a child or an adult, one question tends to follow us throughout our lives: "Am I good enough?" We often try to mask this insecurity by building ice palaces of isolation, trying to be the good girl or good guy, or simply hiding our past mistakes to avoid the judgment of others. But what if the shame you're carrying is exactly what God wants to heal?

We live in a world that tells us "if you ain't first, you're last!" For many of us, our core question in life is, "Am I successful?" We tie our worth to our wins, our career milestones, and our ability to contribute. But what happens when you hit a wall, experience a failure, or simply feel like the world isn't appreciating your work?

Around Christmas time, one of the most famous specials comes on, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It’s lesser-known sequel, Rudolf and the Island of Misfit Toys, Shows a deeper question we all ask.  Whether it is a train with square wheels or a Charlie-in-the-box, every misfit is asking the same core question: "Am I wanted?"

"Hello, can you hear me?" We often think of Adele’s lyrics as just a song about a breakup, but they actually reveal the deepest ache of the human heart. Whether we are calling a thousand times or sitting in a room full of people, the question "Am I loved?" often sounds like: "Are you listening? Do you see me? Do you know me?"

How much money is enough? For most of us, the answer is usually "just a little bit more than I have right now." Whether we are navigating a tight budget or managing a massive fortune, the question "Am I secure?" often dictates how we live, how we work, and how we treat the people around us.

What is the thing that scares you the most? Is it the dark? Spiders? Or is it something less childish like the loss of your health, a job, or a loved one? One of the biggest questions we ask in any situation is: Am I Safe?

What if the biggest frustrations in your marriage, your career, and your faith all stem from one single, unanswered question?

In the kickoff of our new series, "The Core," Pastor David Reneau explores the invisible tracks that drive our emotions and behaviors.

Easter is the greatest story ever told, but for the people who were there on that first Sunday morning, it didn't feel like a miracle.  It felt like theft, panic, and confusion. How can a man who was brutally executed and buried in a sealed tomb suddenly be alive?

How can a crowd that celebrated Jesus’ arrival then, in less than a week, turn on Him and chant, “Crucify”? To answer that, we have to go back to the very beginning.

Mr. Rogers once famously said that whenever disaster strikes, to "look for the helpers." In wars, natural disasters, and personal tragedies, the helpers are always there. But as the Church, are we called to be more than just people who send "thoughts and prayers"?
