Message: “The Writing on the Wall” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In this, the fifth. message of our “Resilient Faith” series, Pastor Christian focuses on the continued importance of our faith in the face of a culture that tells us our faith doesn’t matter. Using Daniel’s story, he points out that the world is always asking us to worship and place our hope in things other than God. He goes on to illustrate how God often uses certain revelations to get our attention, and explains what we should do next in the face of those revelations. Finally, he shares six spiritual realities from Daniel chapter 5 that can help anyone understand their faith (or lack of it) better, ultimately using these things to point to Jesus.

Message: “Gracious Confrontation” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In this message, Pastor Christian addresses how to confront people in a way that is loving and productive. He places an emphasis on having “spiritual character” built over time to earn you credibility with others, and how character comes from obedience. He goes on to address the biggest road blocks to us having gracious confrontations and reminds us of Jesus’ character as an example of what our behaviors should look like.

Message: “Our Worship Crisis” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In this message, Pastor Christian focuses specifically on worship—both what it is and what we are worshipping in our own lives. He starts by posing the question, “Are you able to be at rest spiritually when everything in your life is out of control?” and goes on to point out that, if we don’t intentionally choose to worship God His way, we’ll end up worshipping something the way we were meant to worship God.

From there, we dive into what worship looks like in our culture today, and contrast that with what Christians should be worshipping instead. Ultimately, we’re asked to consider the question, “Will God really take care of me if I don’t live the way the world wants me to?” and are challenged to find true rest in worshipping only God.

Message: “Learning to Pray First!” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In the second message of our “Resilient” series, Pastor Christian discusses how prayer should be something we practice NOW so that when life inevitably gets hard, we know how to have a proper view on our hard circumstances. He goes on to talk about what to do about worry as a Christian, and equips us with the proper posture of prayer to practice in our daily lives.

Message: “Different Is Better” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In the first message of our “Resilient Faith” series, we’re introduced to Daniel’s story and the context of the world he was living in. By evaluating the harsh spiritual landscape he found himself in, Pastor Christian challenges us to draw parallels to our own lives, rather than our current culture, to identify areas where we may need to grow and rely on God more deeply. Additionally, we find hope through Daniel’s example that our faith, our character, and our behaviors still matter in today’s world.

Message: “The Way Forward” from Ryan Holt

A message from the series “Standalone Messages.” In this final message of 2025, Pastor Ryan Holt shares with us “the way forward,” teaching us how to live counter-culturally, for Jesus, in a world and age when we’re told every day to live for ourselves. In this message, he provides plenty of practical tips to implement immediately to strengthen our faith and set us up for a stronger spiritual season ahead.

A message from the series “Unbelievable!

Message: “Joy to the World!” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Unbelievable! When God Came to Visit.” As we continue on in the story of Jesus’ birth, we again look to Mary’s example of faith to understand the joy that can be found in a life centered on God. Specifically, this message focuses on four sources of joy: the joy of living by faith, the joy of salvation, the joy of worship, and the joy of faith becoming sight.

Message: “Three Dot Faith” from Christian Newsome

A message from the series “Unbelievable! When God Came to Visit.” In this week’s message, which focuses on Mary’s faith in the midst of her finding out she was pregnant, we learn about the peace that we find only when we trust in Jesus. By looking at the example of Mary’s faith in the midst of her own unknown circumstances, we see the peace that’s found in steady faith, the peace that’s found in curious faith, and the peace that’s found in willing faith.
