FOR US || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Four words hold more weight than we often realize: God is for us. Not against us. Not indifferent. For us. In this message from Romans 8:31–32, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through what John Piper called the most inspiring verse in all the Bible — and what it means that the God who did not spare his own Son will freely give us everything we truly need. We do have enemies. We do face hardship. But none of that changes the posture of God toward us. He has set his love upon us and he will not remove it.

LOVING YOUR KIDS || Jeff Wells || Mother's Day

Most parents deeply love their children — but love isn't just a feeling. It's a practice. In this Mother's Day message from Matthew 22:36–40, Pastor Jeff Wells unpacks ten practical ways parents express love to their kids, drawn from Scripture, research, and decades of pastoral wisdom. From tender affection and firm discipline, to focused listening, being present, and knowing when to say "I'm sorry" — this message is honest, practical, and full of grace for every parent in the room. Whether you feel like you're doing well or falling short, this is a reminder that the goal isn't perfection. It's love — and God gives the grace to love well.

THE GOLDEN CHAIN OF SALVATION || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

From eternity past to eternity future, God's plan for your salvation has never been in jeopardy. In Romans 8:29–30, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through what theologians have called the Golden Chain of Salvation — five unbreakable links that stretch from God's foreknowledge all the way to glorification. Foreknew. Predestined. Called. Justified. Glorified. Every person God foreknew, he predestined. Every person he predestined, he called. Every person he called, he justified. And every person he justified, he glorified. No one falls out of the chain. The same God who chose you is the God who keeps you — and all the credit goes to him.

WHY SHOULD GOD LET YOU INTO HEAVEN? || Rob Renfroe || Romans 3

In this message, guest preacher Rob Renfroe walks through four things everyone needs to hear: God loves you and wants the best for you. We are all sinners separated from the God who loves us. God has made a way for us to become right with him. And that gift is received through faith — not through your good works, not through generosity, not through being better than the people around you.

GROANINGS NOW || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

In this message from Romans 8, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through the final two of three groanings Paul describes in the middle of this great chapter. Believers groan inwardly, waiting eagerly and patiently for the return of Christ and the redemption of everything broken in this world. And in that same waiting, the Holy Spirit himself groans on our behalf — interceding for us with prayers too deep for words, translating our feeble requests into the perfect will of God.
