The Smartphone Trap

Monday Mar 23, 2026

Monday Mar 23, 2026

80% of people are addicted to their phones. So the real question is… are you one of them? In this message, you’ll confront one of the most overlooked addictions in our culture—our phones. From constant notifications to endless scrolling, technology is shaping our priorities, our relationships, and even our walk with God.
The question is simple: Are you using your phone… or is your phone using you?
This message will challenge you to break free, reset your mind, and rediscover what truly matters.
VERSES // Romans 12v1-2, 1 Corinthians 6v12, Revelation 2v2-5, 1 Peter 5v8

Before The Storm

Tuesday Mar 17, 2026

Tuesday Mar 17, 2026

What if the reason storms overwhelm us isn’t because God isn’t there, but because we only turn to Him when life starts falling apart? Life has a way of bringing unexpected storms like stress, anxiety, conflict, and moments when everything feels out of control. The truth is, a lot of us only reach for God when things go wrong. But faith isn’t something we build in the middle of the storm. It is something we build before it ever arrives. This message challenges us to stop treating God like the friend we only call when we need help and start walking with Him every day so we are ready for whatever life throws our way.

A Seat At The Table

Monday Mar 09, 2026

Monday Mar 09, 2026

In 2 Samuel 9, David invites Mephibosheth, a forgotten and broken man, to sit at the kings table. Through the stories of Saul, Jonathan, David, and Mephibosheth, we see four different postures of the heart toward grace. The gospel reminds us of this truth: grace gave you a seat, and love grabs a seat for another. 
VERSES // Exodus 25v23-30, 2 Samuel 9v1-12, 1 Samuel 18v3-4, 7

Written Into A Greater Story

Monday Mar 02, 2026

Monday Mar 02, 2026

If you’re new to church, money talk can feel… gross. We get it. This message starts with a simple question: Why are we giving at all? Psalm 50 shows us God isn’t asking because He’s in need—He’s after our hearts, our worship, and our participation in something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re ready to jump in or just checking things out, we’re glad you’re here.
VERSES // Psalm 50v8-23, Romans 10v1-15, Malachi 3v10

The Generous Heart

Monday Feb 23, 2026

Monday Feb 23, 2026

Does God really bless generosity? Yes. But not the way you think. In this teaching, we confront the myths of prosperity preaching while embracing the truth of Scripture: God multiplies what we sow — financially, spiritually, eternally. The question isn’t “Should I give?” The question is “Do I trust Him?”
VERSES // 2 Corinthians 9v6-15, Matthew 6v21

When Grace Calls Your Name

Monday Feb 16, 2026

Monday Feb 16, 2026

In Luke 19, you see a man who chased money, status, and control — and still came up empty. What he thought would be a glimpse turned into a life-altering encounter. 
If you’ve ever felt spiritually restless…If you’ve built success but still feel empty…If you’re unsure whether Jesus would really want anything to do with you…
This story is for you.
VERSES // Luke 19v1-10

The Time Is Now

Monday Feb 09, 2026

Monday Feb 09, 2026

Have you ever felt bored in church… or like your faith has gone from “all in” to “just showing up”? In part one of The Next Chapter, you’ll hear about a generational, faith-filled next step for Church Story. One marked by sacrifice, God’s glory, prayer, and a future bigger than today. Together, we’re asking God to do what only He can do—because He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
VERSES // Ephesians 3:1-21

Monday Feb 02, 2026

Tuesday Jan 20, 2026

Dating today is confusing, exhausting, and often shaped more by culture than conviction. In Part 3 of Relationship Refresh, you’ll discover timeless wisdom for dating in a culture that has made it incredibly complicated. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or supporting others who are, this message offers clarity, hope, and a better foundation for relationships that last.
VERSES // Genesis 24v1-21

Monday Jan 12, 2026

Most relationships don’t fall apart overnight—they break down slowly through ignored warning signs. In this part two of Relationship Refresh, you learn how to expose two dangerous dynamics that quietly destroy relationships: passivity and control. Whether you’re dating, married, or single, you’ll learn how to recognize unhealthy patterns, why they matter, and how turning your heart back to God can bring healing, clarity, and hope—no matter where you are today.
VERSES // 1 Kings 21
