One Hit Wonders: Philemon - Grace In the Wild

What if that one person you can't forgive is the key to unlocking God's kingdom in your life? Casey shares how a Palestinian Christian in Bethlehem lived out the Acts 2 community amid occupation and struggle, proving God's kingdom breaks through when we offer grace to unlikely people. Paul's letter to Philemon reveals that even devoted believers can be held back by that last 1%—bitterness toward someone who wronged them. Casey challenges us to identify our "Onesimus"—that person we've written off—and welcome them back as family. This isn't just about forgiveness; it's about experiencing the fullness of God's presence. Don't let unforgiveness keep you from the kingdom life Jesus died to give you—watch now and discover your next step toward grace.

Power Moves (Week 4): The Way of The Cross

SERMON SUMMARY:

On Palm Sunday, we explore one of Jesus’ most challenging invitations: the way of the cross. In Matthew 16, Jesus reveals that real life isn’t found by holding on—but by letting go. While we often want growth, change, and new life without sacrifice, Jesus shows us that the way to new life runs through death—death to control, comfort, sin, and the life we try to build on our own.

Standing at the “gates of death,” Jesus declares that death doesn’t get the final say anymore. Through His cross, He defeats death and makes a way for us to experience true, lasting life. But that life requires surrender.

This message challenges us to ask: What in my life needs to die so something better can live? Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, the invitation is the same—trust Him enough to walk the way of the cross and step into the new life He offers.

Power Moves (Week 3): Cross to the Other side

SERMON SUMMARY:

Have you ever felt the walls of comfort closing in, shrinking your world smaller and safer? This week we unpack Jesus' boldest power move yet—crossing to the other side. Through the story of Jesus confronting a storm and transforming a demon-possessed man, we discover how comfort builds walls that separate us from people Jesus wants to reach, while courage breaks those walls down. A "safe" life often becomes a small one, settling for a domesticated version of Jesus that never leads us out of our comfort zone. What could happen if you trusted Jesus "just as He is" to take you where He wants you to go?

Power Moves (Week 2): Invest In A Few

Have you ever wondered if your biggest impact could come from thinking smaller?

This week we explore this counterintuitive strategy, revealing how Jesus transformed ordinary fishermen and outcasts into world-changers not through mass appeal, but through intimate investment. Whether you're feeling stretched thin or searching for purpose, this message unveils how your everyday life and natural abilities can be repurposed for extraordinary kingdom impact. Discover the surprising truth that small circles lead to big impact.

Power Moves (Week 1): Change Your Geography

SERMON SUMMARY:

PROXIMITY CREATES POSSIBILITY! Have you ever considered that your daily location choices could be strategic moves in God's kingdom? Jesus' first ministry power move was simply relocating from tiny Nazareth to bustling Capernaum. This power move reveals how proximity creates possibility for God's work. Jesus intentionally positioned Himself among the lost, hurting, and searching. This challenges us to ask, "Who is Jesus inviting me to move closer to?" Whether it's joining colleagues in the break room or connecting with a struggling neighbor, discover how small geographic shifts can open doors for kingdom impact.

ROAR (Week 2): Praise Points The Way To Victory

SERMON SUMMARY:

What if your biggest battles could be won before they even begin? In ancient Israel, victory wasn't found in military might, but in praise.

Through compelling stories from King Jehoshaphat to modern-day college sports, Brad shows how praise positions us for victory—not because we're strong, but because God fights for us.

ROAR (Week 1): Praise Breaks Chains

Worship isn't just about Sunday songs but about offering our whole lives to God - whether in times of celebration or suffering. True freedom comes through choosing to worship despite our circumstances.

The conclusion to the "Fearless" series delves into the heart of our complex relationship with money, revealing how it often becomes both the source of our fears and our misplaced hope for salvation.

Fearless (Week 3): Fearless Faithfulness

SERMON SUMMARY:

What if the key to breaking free from fear isn't courage, but generosity? In this powerful message, Brad explores how tithing—far from being a mere financial obligation—serves as God's divine strategy for liberating us from fear's grip. Through the biblical account of Cain and Abel, he reveals that tithing isn't just about money; it's about the condition of our hearts and our trust in God's provision. Sacrificial giving through the local church can transform both the giver and the community. Withholding our tithe isn't just about money—it's about missing out on God's invitation to experience true freedom and participate in His kingdom work of blessing others.

Fearless (Week 1): Fearless Trust

It's not a finance issue, it's a freedom issue. The goal is NOT to try harder to be fearless, but to train in stewardship and generosity so that we can fear less.

The Unusual Suspects (Week 8): An Unusual Arrival

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus' arrival changed everything! Jesus didn't show up like a king. He was born in the ancient equivalent of a garage to freaked out parents who had been rejected by their own families. The only people that showed up were a group of shepherd boys who were among the lowest of the low in their society. But that's who Jesus came for.

The Unusual Suspects (Week 7): The Dirty Dozen

SERMON SUMMARY:

When Jesus selected and called His disciples, He was saying: "I believe you have what it takes to be like me." Those He called weren't the cream of the crop, they were dropouts, flunkies, and those deemed as failures. This serves as a reminder that Jesus doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies those He calls to join Him.

The Unusual Suspects (Week 6): The Forgotten Ones

SERMON SUMMARY:

It's easy to get worn down by the stories we're told and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are to God and who He is to us. We get tired of fighting back and eventually we give into believing that what they’re saying is true. But God's faithfulness isn't dependent on our feelings. We see through the story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and their son John, that He can do an amazing work in and through us, whether we feel it's possible or not and that those who can clear the way making it possible for people and Jesus to get together, can be those we least expect.
