We're challenged to examine the "cargo" we carry into our relationships. Are we bringing life-giving joy and the blessing of God's presence, or something less worthy?

What if the key to avoiding life's derailments isn't going solo, but having the right crew on board? Isolation makes us vulnerable while authentic community provides protection and strength. When David was surrounded by trusted advisors like Jonathan, he thrived—but alone, he derailed into devastating sin. The message is clear: we're designed for connection, not isolation.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus tells us that we are to stay ready for His return, but staying ready isn't an issue of waiting, it's an issue of character. Our character in waiting for Jesus is revealed in how we care for others, when given the opportunity.

SERMON SUMMARY:

This week, we delve into the transformative power of perspective and truth as taught through Jesus's parables. Our discussion centers on the importance of renewing our minds, as highlighted in Romans 12:2, and how this renewal can lead to profound life changes. We explore the spiritual battle between truth and lies, drawing from John 8, where Jesus confronts the Pharisees and reveals the devil as the father of lies. Through the lens of the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew 22, we examine the themes of priority, invitation, and worthiness in God's kingdom. We're challenged to reflect on what we believe to be true about life, God, and ourselves, and to consider how these beliefs shape our experiences. Join us as we uncover the freedom found in embracing the truth of Jesus, who offers us His righteousness and invites everyone—regardless of past or status—into the abundant life He promises.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Are you lost, or are you simply unaware of how far off your path you’ve wandered? In this transformative sermon, Brad McMahan takes us on a journey through the nuances of spiritual lostness, drawing parallels to everyday experiences like family road trips that can sometimes go awry. With vivid anecdotes about getting lost and the various stages of disorientation, he powerfully illustrates that being lost isn't just about physical directions; it reflects our spiritual state. By sharing the parables of Jesus, especially the story of the prodigal son and the immoral woman, Brad highlights how Christ welcomes us home, regardless of how lost we've become. These narratives remind us that while some believe they can navigate life on their own, true fulfillment comes from recognizing our need for God’s grace. As Brad invites us to reflect on our own state of lostness, he emphasizes the hope and love that await us in surrendering to God’s guidance. Join us in this heartfelt exploration of belonging and redemption, and discover how you, too, can come home to a relationship with Christ. Don’t miss the chance to embrace the love and freedom God offers—watch the full sermon now!

SERMON SUMMARY:

What if the very foundations of how we view right and wrong, just and unjust, were turned upside down? In his thought-provoking sermon, Brad McMahan challenges us to reconsider our perspectives and priorities through the lens of Jesus' parable of the vineyard workers in Matthew 20:1-16. This powerful story shows how our human tendency to compare ourselves to others can lead to envy and resentment, ultimately clouding our understanding of God’s generosity and grace. Brad emphasizes that our perspectives, shaped by the narratives we tell ourselves, directly influence our priorities and actions. Rather than getting caught in the comparison trap, he invites us to embrace a Kingdom perspective that prioritizes need over deserve—extending compassion and generosity just as God does. This message is especially poignant for those seeking a deeper understanding of their role in God’s family and how to embody His Kingdom here and now. Are you ready to release the burdens of comparison and step into a life marked by grace?

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus tells a story about a servant who had an un-payable debt to a king completely and totally forgiven only to then turn around and demand that a debt owed to him be paid back or else! This story helps us to understand that in Jesus Kingdom, we are expected to forgive others as fully and as completely as He has forgiven us.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus tells 2 stories about a tiny mustard seed that's planted in a garden and yeast that's worked through dough to help us understand how His Kingdom is infused into our lives and expands through our lives.

SERMON SUMMARY

Jesus tells a story about buried treasure in a field to reveal that His Kingdom is for messy and broken people like us. He tells another story about an extremely valuable pearl to reveal that He seeks after people like us. Both the King and His Kingdom are for us. But our new lives will cost us our old ones.

SERMON SUMMARY

Jesus uses a story about weeds and wheat as well as a story about good fish and bad fish to help us see that we have blindspots in our lives that in left unchecked can have serious implications.

SERMON SUMMARY:

This week, Brad introduced our summer sermon series that’s focused on the parables of Jesus, explaining how these stories reveal the Kingdom of God in ways that traditional theology cannot. He emphasizes that parables help people understand divine truths that are often challenging to grasp solely through logical reasoning, as they engage the hearts and minds of listeners. By using relatable narratives, Jesus invites individuals to reflect on their own lives and the condition of their hearts, revealing how their receptiveness to His teachings can lead to transformation. This series aims to encourage everyone to consider what it means to live within God's Kingdom and the implications it has for their everyday lives.

SERMON SUMMARY:

In the midst of a loneliness crisis, Proverbs offers wisdom on how make quality friends and how to be one as well. The reason that loneliness has such a powerful affect on our lives, isn't due to some cultural phenomenon or the advent of social media. It's because trying to go through life alone pushes back against the current of wisdom that's woven into the very fabric of creation by God. He’s the one that says “It is NOT good for man (mankind) to be alone.”

SERMON SUMMARY:

The words that come out of our mouths reveal the real climate and condition within our hearts. Nothing can distort our words like pride and anger when they set up shop in our hearts. In Proverbs (and really throughout the Bible) we are encouraged and commanded to use our words wisely for the benefit of others. It’s just another example of how wise living causes life to flourish while foolishness puts life at risk.

SERMON SUMMARY:

God doesn’t hide Himself or His wisdom from us. He and His wisdom are available and accessible to anyone and everyone, all the time. The reality is, we are usually the one’s who either don’t seek Him out or run in the other direction.

Brad kicks off the new sermon series "Wise Up," by focusing on the importance of pursuing, activating, and applying wisdom in our lives. He emphasizes that biblical wisdom offers vital guidance for living successfully according to God's standards, contrasting it with foolishness, which leads to catastrophic consequences. In the book of Proverbs, Solomon explains that true wisdom begins with reverence for God, acknowledging that there is a distinction between wise living and foolish choices. We are invited to embrace God's wisdom and recognize its significance in shaping a meaningful and righteous life.

Jesus did tangible and physical things that hadn't ever been done before so that we may know that He really is who He says He is, and He can do everything He promised.

SERMON SUMMARY:

The transformative mission of Jesus that's revealed in the Book of Acts, moves us beyond a passive faith toward actively engaging in reaching the lost and making disciples. True Christianity involves living out one’s faith in a way that extends God's grace to others, regardless of the challenges faced, as exemplified through the persecuted early church which thrived amidst adversity. The Great Commission is not an optional task but a command from Jesus, that He personally couples with the assurance of the Holy Spirit's presence to empower believers in our mission. There is an immense cost but also infinite value to participating in Jesus' movement.
