The Unexpected King

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd welcomes him with cheering and excitement. That enthusiasm soon faded as they realized Jesus would not fulfill their expectations of a Messiah. Join us this Palm Sunday as we reflect on how our expectations of Jesus and God's Kingdom align with the true picture of God Jesus embodied.

The Cross Part 4

Jesus's life was one of constant boundary violations. He upset the current religious leaders time after time as he embodied a God of grace. As we look to Jesus, we discover how we are made pure by grace rather than moral performance and how we are to then view each other in light of the cross.

What My Week Has Taught Me (The Cross Part 3)

The cross reveals a co-suffering God who is with us in pain and suffering. Listen as Dave reflects on how the cross revolutionizes our understanding on the true nature of God.

The Cross Part 2

At the cross, Jesus revolutionizes the idea of sacrifice and invites us into a new way forward. Listen this week as we look at how the cross tells a new story about humanity and how we are to build our lives on a foundation of love and compassion.

The Cross Part 1

Our Lenten series on the cross begins this week! Listen as we look at how the cross corrects our faulty understandings of God by showing us the truest picture of a God who is endlessly committed to his creation with boundless love and presence.

Love Without*

This week, we look at a parable where Jesus shows what true love looks like. It's a conscious decision to step toward someone in need and place dignity and compassion at the center. Together, we'll see how love never walks past human suffering.

"What's the Purpose of Humanity?"

Why are we here? What's to be our main purpose in life? Join us as we look to the person of Jesus as a model for leading us into a life that is full and deeply satisfying.

What We're Building Together

In this week's sermon we celebrate our ministry highlights from 2025, and look ahead to 2026. Listen as Dave reminds us what it truly means to be a church community, and hear from our Awaken members as they share how they've grown in their journey of following Jesus over this past year.

Shadow Missions

Before Jesus began his ministry, he was tempted to embrace a path that wasn't true to the life the Spirit was inviting him to live. We also face these same temptations. Learn this week how to overcome any shadow missions that sabotage your truest life so you can walk your path of following Jesus.

Rare Commodities - Guest Speaker
