Key scripture: John 21:1-19 & Luke 22:59-62
Because of Jesus' resurrection, everything has changed.
In our previous sermon series, we unpacked the significance of Jesus' atoning death on the Cross. For this series, we're shifting our focus to a short period immediately after Jesus' death and resurrection, and all that entails for us as we grow in following Jesus together.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on April 13, 2025.
Key scripture: Ephesians 1:5-6 and John 10:27-29
All of us long to belong. This week, we explore how, through Jesus' work on the Cross, we are brought into the family of God and what that means for us now.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on April 6, 2025.
Key scripture: Galatians 4:4-7
What does freedom look like when following Jesus? What happens when you see the life Scripture calls you to, but it feels disconnected from your reality? In the third week of our series, we’ll unpack what it means that Jesus is our redemption - that He’s come to free us from slavery to sin and to lead us into life to the fullest.

In the second week of our Cross of Christ series, we’ll dive into the shame Jesus experienced leading up to and during the crucifixion. This week, we’ll see how the cross reveals the devastating weight of shame and how, ultimately, Jesus restores us.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 23, 2025.
Key scripture: Galatians 3:13-14
It has been said that atonement is like a multi-faceted diamond. What Christ accomplished on the cross is massive, and its window into the heart of God is grand. In this series, we study the many things Jesus’ death and resurrection achieved as we prepare our hearts and minds for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 16, 2025.
Key scripture: James 5:7-20
In chapter 5, James wraps up everything he’s said and offers practical wisdom: How can we know we have true faith? How can we make it for the long haul? How can we walk faithfully with Jesus and others no matter what life throws at us?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 9, 2025.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on February 23, 2025.
Key scripture: James 3:1-18
This week in James 3, we’ll dive into practically one of the most challenging areas to live in as a follower of Jesus. The Scriptures will call at times a source of healing and blessing and at other times a “raging fire” and a “restless evil” — our words.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on February 16, 2025.
Key scripture: James 2:14-26
Is your Christian faith the real deal or just a façade? James 2 challenges us to examine our faith, asking if it's genuine and produces real change in our lives, or just a convincing imitation.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on February 9, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:22-2:13
This week, James warns us of the danger of learning things about God without doing what God says, particularly when it comes to showing partiality.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on February 2, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:13-18

Sermon by Michael Bailey on January 26, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:1-12
To faithfully follow Jesus, our faith must be marked by action. Our belief should lead us into good works and obedience. In the book of James, we are challenged by the brother of Jesus to examine the authenticity of our faith and to ensure that it fills each area of our everyday lives.
Sermon by Jake Blair on August 6, 2023.
This week we look at Luke 18:15-17, where Jesus encounters little children. The disciples meet the children as though they’re an obstacle to Jesus’ mission, but Jesus says the Kingdom belongs to them. So what does Jesus mean by that, and what does that mean for us?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 30, 2023.
This week we look at John 20, where Jesus encounters Thomas. In this passage, Thomas doubts Jesus' resurrection, and Jesus meets him in his doubt. So what does this passage mean for us when we wrestle with doubt?
Sermon by Adam Gibson on July 23, 2023.
This week we look at Luke 19:1-10 where we meet Zacchaeus, a man who made himself rich by taking advantage of others. So what happens when he encounters King Jesus? And what does Jesus have to say to us through a story like this?
Sermon by Brandon Clements on July 16, 2023.
This week we look at Luke 5:12-14 where Jesus meets a leper. Lepers at that time were the literal embodiment of an outcast. So how does Jesus interact with him, and how does Jesus meet us in our shame?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 9 , 2023.
This week we look at John 11, where Jesus meets Mary and Martha in their grief over their brother Lazarus’ death. So how does Jesus meet them in their pain, and how does Jesus meet us in ours?
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on July 2 , 2023.
This week we look again to Peter. In Luke 22, we see Peter do what he said he would never do: deny his Lord Jesus. How does Jesus respond to Peter, who is slow to learn and trips and falls along the way? What does that mean for us, along with our relationship with Jesus and others?
Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 25, 2023.
This week we look at Matthew 19:27-20:16, where Peter essentially asks Jesus, “Is following you truly worth it?” This is a question we may have asked at some point in our journey of faith. We can easily play the comparison game, or we go through a season of suffering, or life doesn’t turn out how we thought it would. So what does Jesus have to say to us?
