Keeping Our Focus | One Shot | Week 2

Keeping Our Focus | One Shot | Week 2

In Week 2 of our One Shot series, Pastor Emeritus Gary Watkins reminds us to never lose sight of the greatest gift we've ever received. Drawing from Hebrews 2, he invites us to rediscover the wonder of God's salvation, guard against drifting in our faith, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus through every season of life. Whether you've walked with Christ for decades or are still considering His invitation, this message is a timely reminder that there is nothing more important than responding to His great salvation.

Have You RSVP’d | One Shot | Week 1

In the opening message of our One Shot series, guest speaker Laura Johnson-Suk (Northeast of the Well) asks a life-changing question: Have you RSVP'd? Drawing from Jesus' Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14, Laura challenges us to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus and fully accept His invitation into the Kingdom of God. Through powerful stories of ministry among the forgotten, trafficked, incarcerated, and overlooked, this message reminds us that God's invitation is for everyone—but our response matters. Have you simply received the invitation, or have you truly said yes?

Loving Our Country, Seeking God’s Kingdom | Fourth of July Weekend

Pastor Jason Smith turns to Jeremiah 29 to explore what faithful living looks like in the place God has called us. In a world that often pulls us toward either blind allegiance or cynical criticism, Scripture offers a better way—one marked by gratitude, humility, prayer, and a commitment to seek the flourishing of our communities. As citizens of God's Kingdom, we're invited to love our neighbors, invest where we've been planted, and trust that God is at work through His people. This message is a timely reminder that while our ultimate hope is in Christ alone, we can faithfully love our country by living for the King who reigns over every nation.

Sing Anyway | Didn't See That Coming | Week 4

As we conclude our Didn't See That Coming series, Pastor Jason Smith reminds us that faith isn't found in having all the answers—it's found in choosing to worship even when life doesn't make sense. Through Habakkuk's final prayer, we discover that while our circumstances may not change overnight, God can transform our hearts with a deeper trust in His faithfulness. When disappointment, loss, and uncertainty tempt us to lose hope, we're invited to remember God's goodness, trust His promises, and declare, "Yet I will rejoice." If you're walking through an "even though" season, this message is an encouragement to keep trusting, keep worshiping, and simply… sing anyway.

The End of Evil | Didn't See That Coming | Week 3

In week three of our Didn't See That Coming series, Pastor Jason Smith explores one of humanity's deepest questions: What will God ultimately do about evil? Through Habakkuk's vision, we're reminded that while injustice, suffering, and brokenness may seem powerful today, they do not get the final word. God's glory is already moving through the world, bringing restoration, renewal, and hope to everything sin has touched. This message encourages us to resist despair, trust God's greater story, and find peace in the truth that every "Babylon" eventually falls before the goodness and sovereignty of God. As we learn to be still before Him, we're invited to exchange fear and control for confidence in the God who is making all things new. If you've been wondering how much longer, this message offers a powerful reminder: the story isn't over, and God's glory is still at work.
