Summer of Rock (The Right Response) | Pastor Ian O'Brien | July 12th, 2026

This powerful message takes us into Acts chapter 3, where we encounter the miraculous healing of a man born lame at the Beautiful Gate. But here's the transformative insight: this isn't just about being in the right place at the right time. It's about choosing the right response. We often wait for God to orchestrate everything perfectly before we act, but what if our response to challenges and opportunities matters more than the circumstances themselves? The lame man had been carried to the same spot every single day, watching others enter the temple for prayer while he remained on the sidelines. Yet when Peter and John arrived, everything changed—not because the location was perfect, but because everyone involved chose faith-filled responses. Peter didn't have money, but he offered what he did have: the name of Jesus and the willingness to involve himself in the process. The lame man risked devastating disappointment by planting his feet and trusting God. And because of these right responses, a miracle unfolded that changed not only one man's life but led thousands to faith in Christ. The question for us becomes: Are we willing to trust God enough to leave the places we've been stuck? Are we offering what we have, even when it doesn't seem like enough? Our response can turn trials into testimonies and moments into miracles.

Summer of Rock (Committed to Christ / The Turnaround) | Brianna Little & Christopher Brown | July 5th, 2026

In this two-part Summer of Rock message, we follow Peter from his first call to follow Jesus to the turnaround that restored him after failure. In Luke 5, Peter shows us what commitment to Christ looks like: making room for Jesus, obeying Him when it does not make sense, and giving Him a full yes. But Peter’s journey reminds us that even committed disciples can still be tested, sifted, and humbled. In Luke 22, Jesus warns Peter that failure is coming, but He also tells him, “I have prayed for you.” Before Peter ever denies Him, Jesus has already spoken restoration over him. Peter’s failure was real, but it was not final. Jesus turned him around, restored his purpose, and called him to strengthen others. This message invites us to give Jesus our full yes, trust Him in our “nevertheless moments,” and believe that even our failures can become part of the testimony He uses to send us back into purpose.

Summer of Rock (The Power of the Church) | Pastor Mark Knight | June 21st, 2026

This powerful exploration of Acts 12:1-19 challenges us to rediscover what it means to be the church—a community united in fervent, earnest prayer. The story of Peter's miraculous prison escape isn't just about divine intervention; it's about the collective power we possess when we pray together with intention and faith. The early church didn't just casually mention Peter in their prayers—they stretched out over him spiritually, using their faith muscle to move heaven itself. The Greek word 'ektenos' paints a vivid picture: stretching a muscle to its absolute limits, the same intensity Jesus demonstrated in Gethsemane when He prayed so hard He sweat blood. This isn't about changing God's reluctant mind; it's about aligning our hearts with what God already cares about. When we pray earnestly, our faith grows, and that faith must eventually make it to our feet—transforming from belief into action. The redwood tree illustration beautifully captures this truth: alone, we might have shallow roots, but intertwined with our community, we become unshakable. We're called to be gate shakers, people who don't give up when facing closed iron gates in our lives, but who keep praying, keep believing, and keep moving forward until breakthrough comes.

EPIC Starts Here | Pastor Mark Knight | June 14th, 2026

This powerful message challenges us to examine whether we're living with a reclining faith or a pouring-out faith. Drawing from the story in Mark 14 where a woman breaks an alabaster jar worth a year's wages to anoint Jesus, we're confronted with a profound truth: the posture of our heart determines where we place our treasure. While the disciples reclined in comfort and questioned her extravagance, this woman was on her knees in worship, giving everything she had. The contrast is striking and convicting. We discover that convenience has become the enemy of faith in our modern lives. We want God to pour out blessings upon us, yet we remain stingy with what He's already given. We want to be recipients of promises without engaging in the process that brings those promises to fruition. The message calls us to move beyond being consumers to becoming contributors, understanding that faith will always stretch us to do something inconvenient. God's opportunities never come when we have plenty of time or money—they come precisely when we don't, because He wants to see whether we'll trust Him or trust our stuff. This isn't just about financial giving, though tithing is addressed directly and honestly. It's about our entire life posture: Are we waiting to see what's left over for God, or are we giving Him the first and best, trusting Him with everything that remains?

Throw It Off! | Pastor Mark Knight | May 31st, 2026

The wilderness is not just a place we pass through—it is often the place where God reveals what we have been carrying. In this message, Pastor Mark Knight challenges us to recognize the weights, wounds, habits, mindsets, and distractions that slow us down spiritually and keep us from walking freely with God. “Throw It Off” is a call to stop dragging into the next season what God never intended for us to carry. Life in the wilderness can expose what comfort kept hidden. It can reveal our complaints, our fears, our unhealthy attachments, and the places where we have learned to survive instead of surrender. Yet the wilderness is not proof that God has abandoned us. It is often the very place where He teaches us dependence, obedience, endurance, and trust. The question is not simply whether we will make it through the wilderness, but whether we will let God strip away what cannot go with us into promise. This message reminds us that spiritual growth requires participation. God can deliver us, guide us, and sustain us, but there are still things we must choose to release. We cannot run the race God has marked out for us while clinging to bitterness, fear, compromise, offense, shame, or the familiar patterns of our past. At some point, we must decide that freedom is worth more than familiarity. The challenge is clear: throw off whatever is weighing you down. Stop carrying what Christ already gave you permission to lay down. Fix your eyes on Jesus, trust Him in the wilderness, and allow Him to prepare you for what is ahead. Because the wilderness is not the end of the story—it is often the place where God gets us ready for the promise.
