Throughout the Bible, there are signs of significant moments in history and even the end of the world. These are shadows of things to come. The Old Testament Sabbath or Shabbat was a day God set aside for rest. In a society driven by success, we see its importance still today. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how obeying God’s command for Shabbat can lead to physical and spiritual restoration.

We are saved by grace through faith, but it doesn't end there. In Hebrews 6, we see how to avoid eternal judgment. How we invest our time and resources here on earth is important. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares the importance of living each day in preparation for our eternal home in heaven.

We often avoid the topic of death because it makes us uncomfortable; but as one of the six foundational principles found in Hebrews 6, the resurrection of the dead is important. Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Thessalonica tells us that death is not the end. If we believe in Jesus, our eternal home is heaven. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares with us the importance of living each day in preparation for our heavenly home by telling others about Him.

Everything great that God desires to do in our lives comes through relationship. Proximity is the key to intimacy. It’s why the foundational principle of the laying on of hands is so important. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how we can find missing peace through connection and relationship with God and others.

Just like an old car, we need a new engine under the hood. We can’t successfully make it through life on our own. We need salvation through Jesus. In this message, Pastor Sean Reed shares how we can accelerate in life beyond our hurts, habits, and hangups by accepting the Holy Spirit in our lives.

For anything to be successful, it must have a solid foundation, and our faith is no different. We cannot build a healthy life without it. Hebrews 6:1-3 reminds us of 6 foundational truths in our faith that God has called us to activate for abundant blessings. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy begins unpacking these core beliefs and shares the importance of building our lives on them until the day that Christ returns.

Life is full of the unknown, and we often turn to the world to ease our fears. In reality, the Bible has all the answers we need. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how we can confidently face each day with the right perspective by staying rooted in God’s Word and trusting in Him.

With all that is going on in the world today, it’s often easy to be distracted and lose sight of the things that strengthen our faith. Taking time for praise, worship, and prayer can help us refocus. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares the importance of keeping our eyes on God and trusting He will bring victory at the right time.

We often find ourselves in a supernatural battle, and the armor to choose isn’t always clear. Like David in the Bible, we must rely on the armor that has proven over time to work the best. In this message, Pastor John Conway shares how choosing the right armor of God will help us live a victorious life.

Often we get sidetracked by culture and don't realize we're in a spiritual battle, not against flesh and blood. This can be dangerous if we're not grounded in prayer. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how the Holy Spirit equips us to fight the enemy and win through prayer.

We serve an uncommon God, and we can never approach Him in a common way. God is doing an uncommon thing in our culture. It's a holy moment that we can't take for granted. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares the importance of being awakened to the things of God and the times we live in so that we're prepared for all God wants to do.

There are many things we do daily to help us live a healthy life, but we often leave out one of the most important. We cannot live a truly successful life without taking time to read the Bible. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares how placing an uncommon value on reading God's Word can lead to His best for our lives.

In a day when every issue seems to cause division in our homes, communities, and churches, it's more important than ever to stay grounded in the Truth. When we are Spirit-led, we find peace. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how we can contend for unity in the midst of unrest by allowing the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.

Often things become common when we do them enough, but communion shouldn’t be one of them. When we come to the Lord’s table for communion, it reminds us of all He’s done for us. In this message, Pastor Tyler Braden shares the importance communion has in aligning our hearts with God and others.

When we don’t understand what is going on around us, it’s important we turn to our eternal God instead of temporary relief. Worship will hold us together when everything else is falling apart. In this message, Pastor Sean Reed shares how reaching for God’s presence above everything else leads to a peace that only He can give.

The issue of fatherhood not only affects all of us, but is a central part of faith in Christ. In fact, God invites us to call Him Father. Fathers have an important job, one that requires wisdom and strength. In this message, three of our pastors, all of them incredible dads, continue our series by sharing how God is not only holy and set apart, but also desires a personal relationship with us.

We serve a Holy God, worthy of our highest praise; but sometimes we take Him for granted. Like Joshua in the Bible, we need to recognize when we are on Holy Ground. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares the importance of approaching our uncommon God with the reverence He deserves.

Throughout this series, the stories of Esther and Jonah have shown us that God has a purpose for our lives, even when we face difficulty. In this message, Pastors Aaron Kennedy and Sean Reed conclude this series with an important conversation about the difficulty our nation is facing regarding issues of prejudice and steps we can take towards finding unity.

Like with Jonah in the Bible, we are often more comfortable receiving God’s mercy than we are accepting His mission of love and grace. Something needs to shift in our hearts before we can love others as He loves them. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how we can position ourselves to be a carrier of reconciliation by recognizing God’s mercy in our lives and extending that same mercy and love to others.

God has created each one of us for a purpose, but sometimes we run from His calling. Just like God never gave up on Jonah in the Bible, He never gives up on us. He is always right there waiting. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares the encouraging truth that we are always only one step away from our calling.
