United in Love | Ben Stuart
What does it mean to be “united in love”? In this message, we talk about how we can all be united through the love of Christ, even though our lives, our circumstances, and our sin all looks different. But Jesus and his love for us can overcome all differences. The truth is, we’re in a difficult place. But the Bible isn’t about making bad people good, but about making dead people alive.

United in Worship | Jefferson Bethke
What does it mean to be “united in worship”? In this message, we talk about how we can worship God being aligned with his story, and by understanding what it means to be a human as an image bearer of God. If you’re a human, you have a story. It’s impossible to be a human without a story. We’re all captured by a story, and we can be united in worshipping God when we are captured by his story.

United in Truth | David Marvin
What does it mean to be “united in truth”? In this message, we talk about how the Bible isn’t a self-help book, and the Bible isn’t about us. The Bible is about Jesus, and he is the main character from beginning to end. We can be united in truth when we realize that the Bible isn’t about us individually, but it’s about Jesus who unites us all in his love.

Are You Dateable? | David Marvin

"Depart from Me, I Never Knew You" | JD Rodgers
Not everyone who claims to be a Christian will be in heaven, because it’s not just about your words. How can we be assured that we know Jesus and he knows us? In this message, we look at Matthew 7 to see what Jesus meant when he said, “Depart from me, I never knew you.”

"Ask and You Will Receive" | David Marvin
When Jesus says, “Ask and you will receive,” is it really that simple? Does it mean we can manifest whatever we want if we believe it enough? In this message, we learn what Jesus actually means by this statement and the significance it has for us.
