When our life plan seem derailed, understand that God really is at work. Casey shares a message of hope that would encourage us in the heart breaking moments of life to have confidence that God will realize His good plan in each one of us. No matter how dark the season, “Joy comes in the morning!"
The Freedom of Generosity
Darrell shares a message on the freedom that comes from GENEROSITY. That freedom is a journey that requires a stubborn resistance to those things that would draw us back into bondage. Are you driven by obligation or passion? Jesus says in Matthew 6 that we should not worry about our needs. Instead, He challenges us to seek God first while trusting Him to provide. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Baptism
Baptism is an outward sign and picture of something that has already taken place in the life of each believer. It is a step taken once the foundation of faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is established. Listen in as Darrell shares how the Baptismal waters demonstrate our death, burial and resurrection with Jesus.
Narratives: Created for Good Works
Fearfully and wonderfully made, God has prepared a path of good works for each of us. Darrell exhorts us to consider if we are willing to lay down our lives and live in His.
Narratives that Shape Our Lives
Narratives evolve from the many voices in our lives. It is these voices that shape our beliefs and our direction. In this message Darrell encourages us to resist the world’s narrative and to give ourselves to the narrative of Jesus. One that calls us to love and forgive and be set free.
A New Humanity
Darrell poses the question, “Who do you follow?” In this message, he challenges us once again to consider that the power for change comes through the Holy Spirit. The invitation is to surrender to Jesus and His kingdom principles and so release the power of His Spirit in us, a new humanity!
The Transforming Power of Jesus
Charish highlights the simplicity of Jesus’s transforming power as we surrender to Him and let Him do His work in us. In sharing a part of her own journey, she demonstrated how the richness of the scripture can inspire us to lean into the work of the Holy Spirit and make us living temples of a merciful, loving God.
Jesus is Crazy
Jake shares an intriguing message that demonstrates how the ways of Jesus often come into conflict with the tribal tendencies that dominate the thinking of mankind. Starting with the story of Jonah, we see how truly difficult it was then and is now to love our enemies.
Fear
In this message, Lazarus shares many scriptural exhortations to reject fear. At the same time, in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is troubled by fear. We see that we are not alone when it comes to fear. It is a common human experience that even Jesus experienced. The issue is how long do we stay in that fear and how do we respond to it?

A Father's Day Panel Discussion

How Do I Learn to Hear God's Voice
In this message, Daniel reminds us that hearing God’s voice requires a kind of discernment that is only effective through a deepening relationship with God. Within that context, Daniel reviews the areas in which God speaks to us, but ultimately, we are exhorted to learn to be still and listen for the “gentle whisper."
Personal Prayer
In this message, Jacob encourages a foundation for prayer that invites heaven into our life, and, in so doing, abides in Christ. He continues by reviewing the important components of prayer and its power to shape our life into something new.
Praying for Others: The Vineyard Prayer Model
Daniel’s message exhorted us to trust God to use us in the lives of others through prayer. As he outlined the Vineyard prayer model, he also encouraged us to draw on the Holy Spirit and step out in faith for the sake of those around us who are in need.
Does Prayer Matter?
Darrell shares a message on the importance of prayer out of Luke 11. The question is, “Does prayer matter?” As he looks closely at the parable in this chapter, the theme of persistence becomes abundantly clear. It is in persistently asking, seeking and knocking through prayer that we begin to see what God is doing.
A Mother's Day Panel Discussion
Casey leads a panel of three moms, Lisa Clark, Terri Hahn and Betty Moore, in a discussion of some various parenting questions collected from the congregation. From date night to soul care and teenagers, these moms shared the ups and downs of their own experiences in trying to raise children who love the Lord in today’s world.
