To Tell the Truth
Pastor Jeff continues our Groundwork series by examining Paul's call in Ephesians 4 to put off falsehood and speak truthfully. We discover that lying destroys community while honesty builds the deeper connections we were designed for. We learn that our security in Christ's love frees us from hiding and pretending, enabling us to develop new habits of truthfulness that reflect our gospel identity. We are challenged to identify where we struggle with honesty and take practical steps toward speaking truth in love within the body of Christ.
Unity
Pastor Aaron continues our Groundwork series by examining Paul's urgent plea in Ephesians 4 for believers to live worthy of their calling. We discover that gospel-shaped identity must lead to gospel-shaped living—marked by humility, gentleness, and patience as we bear with one another in love. We learn that unity already exists through our one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, but maintaining that unity requires intentional effort. We are challenged to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, remembering that we're all works in progress who need grace for the journey.
Rooted Relationships
Pastor Aaron begins our Groundwork series by exploring how our identity in Christ shapes every relationship we have. We discover that Paul grounds the Ephesians in who they are before telling them how to live—we are adopted, redeemed, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. We learn that when our identity is rooted in Christ rather than culture's loud messages, we experience clarity, humility, and unity in our relationships. We are challenged to let these truths reshape how we show up in every relationship—at home, in the church, and in the world.

Christmas 2025
Pastor Aaron Buer teaches on persevering through life's challenges by keeping our focus on Jesus. We learn how Christ equips us to endure suffering and overcome the obstacles that hinder our faith journey. This series reminds us that God reveals himself in surprising ways and invites everyone into his family through the new life Jesus offers. We discover that faith isn't meant to be lived alone but as a community running together toward Christ.
Courageous Church
The early church changed the world with courage that came from complete devotion to God and each other. In Acts, we see five commitments that made them unstoppable. These same commitments can transform our church and our lives today.
Do Not Worry
Guest Pastor Dan Lian shares a powerful message examining Jesus's teaching on worry in Matthew 6:25-33. We discover how worry has become common in our daily experience and how Jesus diagnoses the root causes of our worries. Through Jesus's imagery of birds and flowers, we see God's faithful provision and care for his children as a good Father. We're challenged to remember that we are seen and cared for by God and trust in his abundance. The message invites us to experience the freedom God intends as we seek his kingdom first and discover that worship and worry cannot coexist.

Beyond the Weekend Devotionals
The Way
Jesus’s disciples have seen him perform many miracles and heard him affirm his identity as God. Yet, this band of misfits is also troubled and uncertain about all he has claimed. After reminding them of his impending death on the cross, Jesus reassures them that even if he departs from them, they still have access to the Father. Jesus has come as the way to true life, and no one comes to the Father except through him.
The Claim
Throughout his ministry, Jesus has multiple heated exchanges with the religious leaders. These teachers of the law press him about his true identity. Who does he say he really is? In a clear and bold response, Jesus claims equality with God the Father. The Jewish leaders know exactly what this means. Jesus is not just claiming to be a miracle worker or a good teacher. He is claiming to be God. At this, they pick up stones to kill him, saying, “We are not stoning you for any good work…but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33).
The Word
John is a disciple who has witnessed the ministry and crucifixion of Jesus, including seeing and speaking with him after his resurrection. To teach others about Jesus’s identity and purpose, John writes a gospel account, or biography, of Jesus’s life. Here, he opens by connecting the identity of Jesus with the eternal God who created all things. Jesus, the Word, is one with God the Father (“the Word was God”), but he’s also distinct (he was “with God”). Throughout the Old Testament, the “Word” of God refers to the self-expression or revelation of God. John carries that idea forward in identifying Jesus as the true and full revelation of God himself.
