Don't Compromise

Ever feel like you have to compromise your beliefs to fit in or the culture around you is pulling in the opposite direction? You're not alone. The world is full of pressure to conform, but what if being different is actually the key to making a lasting impact?💡 In this powerful message, Pastor Patrick unpacks Daniel 1 and shows how a teenager taken into exile chose conviction over compromise. Though isolated, indoctrinated, intimidated, and even re-named, Daniel resolved in his heart to honor the Most High God. This powerful study reminds us that even in hostile or difficult environments, God’s people can thrive like trees planted in the desert. When we root ourselves deeply in Him, we can remain fruitful and resilient no matter the pressure around us. Daniel's story isn't just about a lion's den or a fiery furnace; it's a blueprint for us today.

Climb Out of Shame

Ever felt overlooked, short on hope, or weighed down by your past? This powerful message from Pastor Lavon Coles, uses the maybe familiar story of Zacchaeus to reveal a profound truth about Jesus's character. Zacchaeus's story isn't just a story in the bible; it's our story. It's the story of anyone who has felt lost, broken, or ashamed. This message invites you to come down from your "tree" of excuses and hiding, and surrender to a God who came to seek and save the lost. Whether you feel weighed down by regret, labeled by your past, or spiritually “short” on hope, this message will encourage you that Jesus still sees you, calls you by name, and invites you into new life.

Why You're Not Who You Want To Be

Why Community Isn’t Enough

Are you fighting the battles of life alone? In a world that glorifies the "self-made" individual, many of us feel pressured to go it alone, even in our faith. But what if God never intended for us to be a standalone Christian? In this powerful message, Pastor Travis reveals the "oxymoron" of a standalone Christian and unpacks the biblical necessity of having a spiritual "corner" to show how encouragement, godly counsel, and loving correction are essential for spiritual growth. Discover the difference between community and fellowship, and how to find (and be) the people in someone’s corner. If you’ve been feeling isolated, discouraged, or like you’re in the fight of your life—this message will inspire you to step into true fellowship and walk arm-in-arm toward the purposes of God.

How to Find True Rest

How do we find TRUE rest? In a world that demands more, more, more, what does it truly mean to find rest for your soul? In this vulnerable and deeply impactful message, Pastor Cleve Masten breaks down Matthew 11:28 and shows us how rest isn’t just a nap or a vacation—it’s a transformation of the heart. Whether you're burned out from striving, anxious from carrying everyone’s burdens, or simply worn out from the noise of life, Jesus offers a better way. This is more than encouragement—it’s a profound shift for high-achievers, people-pleasers, and anyone who feels like they’re always carrying too much. Let go. Breathe deep. Rest is closer than you think.

Should the Church Judge?

“Judge not, that you be not judged.” It’s one of the most quoted verses in the Bible—by both Christians and non-Christians. Often used to silence correction or avoid accountability, But what did Jesus really mean in Matthew 7:1? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Patrick Tanton unpacks one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture and helps us discern the difference between righteous judgment, hypocrisy, and condemnation. Jesus commands us to "stop judging by mere appearances" and instead "judge correctly". Learn why it's God's role to judge those outside the church, while believers are called to lovingly help "sharpen" one another within the church and learn why judging outsiders by Christian standards misses the heart of the Gospel. This message isn’t just a word of correction—it’s an invitation to grow, love better, and walk with humility in your relationships and your faith. Take a few minutes and ask God to search your heart. Are you judging others through a critical lens—or a Christ-like one?
