We couldn't be excited to bring you this content and hope you are encouraged as you listen. You are so loved! 

You Are The Beloved

In this message we unpack the truth of what God says to each of us "You are my Beloved."  You see its not that you or I are not the Beloved. No, we are unshakably undeniably loved by God. That is deep unwavering truth. The temptation lurks on the -- if -- if we will actually believe it. If we actually claim it as our own. And if we do claim the truth of being indescribably loved by the God whose image we bear — who created us and breathes life into us. If we do claim it. Oh thats the truest ...

Abide

In this message we look at John 15 in the Bible where Jesus invites us to Abide in Him. We hope this encourages you and you lean further into the truth that you are so loved by the God who created you.

Jesus Is Life

Right Here & Right Now

In this message we look at the very first words of Jesus to all the people found in Matthew chapter 14 verses 17-25. Listen and be encouraged that maybe even in this present moment of much chaos and with everything out or rhythm that the BETTER you and I are all searching for can be found in and through Jesus. 

Better

In this message we talk about this present moment of the Coronavirus and with all the normality of life taken away -- that maybe we can allow our hearts to posture on what is "Better" and come into a place of peace around the person of Jesus.

Jesus Over Everything

In this message we look at a passage in the Bible found in Matthew 16:13-18. We look at the truth that how we see Jesus changes everything about us. Is He just another good teacher with some good morals and values or is Jesus Lord of our life. When He looks at us and asks "Who do you say that I Am?" how will you respond? Take a listen and be encouraged!

Be encouraged by the first episode of our new podcast series where we sit down with young people and talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus in high school. Is it really worth it? What is the kingdom of Jesus about? Why should I follow Jesus in the "here & now" and not just wait until later. In this episode we are joined by the legend himself Cade Paulson. Yeew! 

All In On The Value

In this message we unpack the story Jesus tells in Luke chapter 15 about a woman who loses a coin and keeps searching until it is found. We talk about the truth that you are so valuable to the God who created you that He stops at nothing until what is of great value is found. Be encouraged -- YOU are so loved and so valued. 

Out Of The Shallow

In this podcast message we look at a story in the Bible found in Luke chapter 5 where Jesus calls Petey and the boys to "put out into the deep and let down their nets for a catch." We unpack the truth that the Gospel never calls us to live in the shallow end where its safe, but rather that we were created to live into the deep.

You Are Special

Pastor Gino Grunberg joins us today on the Podcast and encourages us with a message found in the Bible in Mark chapter 10 about a story when Jesus encounters a rich young ruler. Gino goes on to unpack the truth about what Jesus says about us as people and where we get our value. Listen and be encouraged that the God who created says "You Are Special." 

Lost & Found

In this message we look at a story in the Bible found in Luke chapter 15. Jesus tells us a story about a sheep that gets lost and how a shepherd stops at nothing to find it.  "For something to be lost it must first belong to something. In the beginning of it all we belonged to God. And were found to be with Him. And thats why this life just doesn’t seem to taste quite right. Doesn’t feel quite right. Because we have tasted and felt something better. And at the deepest part of our soul we con...

Satisfied & Sustained

In this message we look at a story in the Bible found in John Chapter 6 where Jesus feeds five thousand people with just five pieces of bread and two fish. Jesus provides as much as all the people want to eat. This message speaks from the idea that could have all the bread and the fish in the world, but we miss it all if we don't have more of Jesus.

Fight

In this message we look at a passage in the Bible found in 1 Timothy. Be encouraged to fight the good fight of loving God and loving people! 

He Is Calling You

In this message we look at a story in the Bible found in Luke 10:46-52. What if we cared more about the truth that Jesus is calling us then we do about what others think of us. Be encouraged that He Is Calling YOU! 

Purpose To Party

In this message we look at a story in the bible found in Luke chapter 15. You gotta place the true value on something to see it clearly. And when we see how much God values us we realize that we have a purpose to party! 

What You Following?

In this podcast we look at a passage in the Bible found in Jeremiah 17:5-10. How you answer the question "What you following?" Will determine the direction and path of your life. You want fulfillment? You want passion? You want purpose? You want joy? You want love? You want all your desires to be met? Don't follow your heart. Follow the One who made it.

One Thing

In this message we look at a story in the Bible found in Luke 10:38-42. The teachings and way of Jesus show us that we don't need more things or a lot of things, but instead just one thing is needed. 

Love Came Down

In this podcast we take a look at a story in the Bible in Luke Chapter 2. Commonly known as the Christmas Story - but maybe it's a story of When Love Came Down. Be encouraged this Christmas that we don't need to fear anymore because we have a savior, who is for all the people and His name is Jesus! 

You Are The Message

We look at a story in the bible found in Matthew 5:13-16 where Jesus says that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We unpack that when we allow Jesus to use our lives we understand the truth that YOU are the message of love, hope and new life! 

Send It

During this message we look at a passage found in the bible in 1 Corinthians 1:1-9! We really have two options in this life. We can sit and stare watching life pass us by. Or we can choose to SEND IT with all we've got. 

Only Jesus

We take a look at a story in the Bible found in Matthew 11:27-30 How would our lives look if the cry of our hearts was for Only Jesus.  Let us walk in the rhythms of His Grace and watch as Jesus changes our lives!

We Are The Ones

We look at a story in the Bible found in John Chapter 1 Verses 35-51 You ever think to yourself why isn’t anyone loving on that person? Why isn’t anyone doing anything about that situation or this situation? Why isn’t anyone telling my co-workers about Jesus? Or forgiving the people who have done wrong? Why isn’t anyone showing up when people are confused and hurt and lost? BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES. We are in a unique and difficult time in the world right now. Humanity is filled with so muc...

In The Storm

In this podcast we take a look at a story in the Bible found in Matthew 14:22-33.  In the middle of whatever storm we are going through in life, we can be encouraged that because of Jesus, we can take heart and not be afraid. Its funny because we think that sometimes we can do it alone, that we can make it through the chaos and the storms in our life alone, that if we just try hard enough that we will be ok. But you see our greatest challenge is not trying harder, striving for more, our gr...

Into The Deep

We are gonna be looking at a story in the Bible, in the book of Luke in Chapter 5 Verses 1-11! Jesus is saying to all of us “PUT OUT INTO THE DEEP, AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS OF GRACE & LOVE & TRUTH FOR A CATCH THAT IS FAR GREATER THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE” And if our response is “AT YOUR WORD JESUS, AT YOUR WORD I WILL DO WHATEVER IT IS YOU ASK OF ME.” He will do exceedingly and abundantly more than you could ever ask or imagine. Because He DESIRES TO DO A WORK IN YOU & THROUGH YOU.
