Most of us don’t realize it, but we’re experts at self-deception. We talk ourselves into things we’ll later regret. In this message, we explore the first and hardest question to ask when you don’t know what to do: Am I being honest with myself… really? Through a powerful story from Genesis, we learn how self-examination can redirect our lives, prevent regret, and lead to personal and spiritual clarity no matter where you are in your faith journey.

If you’ve ever asked, “What is God’s will for my life?”—you’re not alone. In this final message of the Jargon series, we explore how the phrase “the will of God” has become mysterious and overcomplicated. This message offers a refreshingly simple shift in how to think about it.

Some names open doors. Some carry weight. What if your name wasn’t the one that mattered most? In this message, Lou unpacks the deeper meaning behind living “in the name” of someone else—and how it shapes the way we pray, act, and show up for people. It’s not just a church phrase. It’s a whole way of living.

We’re looking further into the idea of being “saved.”

Ever heard the phrase "Jesus saves" and wondered what it really means—beyond the bumper stickers or t-shirts? This message kicks off our series on church jargon by unpacking how words like "saved" can be misunderstood or lost in translation, and why the real meaning is more relevant (and hopeful) than you might think. Discover how the idea of being “saved” is about more than a one-time event—it’s a lifelong process that impacts our everyday choices and the hope we hold for the world.

This weekend, we’re celebrating what God is doing in our community and taking time to appreciate the people He’s doing it through.

In this special online service, you’ll hear two interviews with people from our team, plus a behind-the-scenes, mic’d up moment from a Sunday morning. It’s real, fun, and a reminder that church is more than a service—it’s a community.

Thanks for being part of it.

The hardest part of doing something meaningful is often just staying with it. In this final message of the BC series, we look at Nehemiah—a man who refused to be pulled off course. His story gives us a powerful, repeatable phrase: “I’m doing a great work and I cannot come down.” If you've been distracted from something important—whether it's a relationship, your mental health, or a calling that won’t leave you alone—this message will help you refocus and stay the course.

We’re taking a deeper dive into the parts of the last message that didn’t make it into the final cut and exploring the rest of God’s self-description to Moses in Exodus 34, including the confusing and often misunderstood part about punishing future generations. What’s actually going on here? And how does this fit into a picture of a good and loving God?
