The Big Story: Church — Mission Forward
7d ago
We are living in the church age, a pivotal moment in God's unfolding redemptive story that stretches from creation to the return of Jesus Christ. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out not on one person but on an entire people, empowering them collectively to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. The Great Commission is not simply a call to get decisions. It is a call to make disciples, teach them, and help them grow in faith. The church is not a building or a denomination but a community of people who belong to Jesus Christ, made up of every tribe, language, and nation. Every belie
The Big Story: Christ — The Center of It All
14d ago
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one unified story with Jesus Christ at the center of every chapter, covenant, and prophecy. Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem. He existed before creation itself, and at just the right moment, the Creator stepped into His own creation on a rescue mission. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He fulfilled every promise and pattern that had been building since the beginning. He is the final sacrifice, the risen Savior, and the coming King. The kingdom of God has already broken into human history through Him, and its fullness is still to come. In th
The Big Story: Promise – A People and a Promise
21d ago
From creation to redemption, the Bible tells one unified story centered on God's unbreakable promises. Humanity was made in God's image, but sin broke the relationship He designed. Rather than walking away, God immediately set a plan of redemption in motion, beginning with the first promise of a Savior in Genesis 3:15. Through Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets, every chapter of the Old Testament points forward to one person: Jesus Christ. The blood of the Passover lamb, the sacrificial system, and the Davidic covenant were all previews of what He would accomplish. When you receive Jesus
The Big Story: Creation – Where It All Began - The Big Story
28d ago
The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories. It is one unified narrative about God's plan to redeem what sin has broken, accomplished through Jesus Christ. God created everything out of nothing, simply by speaking it into existence, and He declared it very good. Humanity was made in the image of God, which is the foundation of every person's dignity, value, and purpose. Sin entered the world through doubt, desire, and disobedience, bringing shame, separation, and death. But God did not abandon humanity. He came looking for Adam and Eve immediately after the fall, and in that same mom
Ephesians: The Divine Wardrobe
1mo ago
Are you still wearing coping mechanisms, addictions, or apathy that you outgrew years ago? What we wear matters. In daily life, people dress to cover up pain, wounds, and identity struggles with temporary fixes. But just like a frayed, ripped outfit from decades past, the old way of living simply does not fit anymore. It is time to ditch the outdated wardrobe of the past and step into a high-value lifestyle designed for true alignment.
For Such A Time As This: Living on Mission
1mo ago
Description God is always at work, and He invites ordinary people to join Him in what He is already doing. The book of Esther shows us a young Jewish woman who found herself in a position of influence at exactly the right moment, not by accident, but by divine design. Mordecai's challenge to her reveals a powerful truth: God's plan is never in danger, and His purpose is never dependent on any one person. He is not waiting on your perfection or your perfect circumstances. He meets you right where you are, in the middle of everyday life. You are not God's only option, but you are His first invit

Message from Pastor Brad Myers on July 12, 2026
For Such A Time As This: Living Ready
1mo ago
We live in a nation worth celebrating, but there is a kingdom that outlasts every nation on earth. The blessed hope is the confident expectation that Jesus Christ could return at any moment, and that expectation is meant to shape how believers live every single day. As citizens of the kingdom of heaven, our allegiance, values, and priorities are meant to reflect the King we serve. Jesus calls His people to love God completely and love others genuinely, and those two commitments change everything. The character of a kingdom citizen grows from a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit, producing lov
For Such A Time As This: Strength for the Journey
2mo ago
Life's pressures are real, and human strength alone is not enough to carry us through. Scripture is clear that believers have access to a power far greater than anything they can produce on their own. Just as the early church in Acts 4 responded to intense persecution not by seeking relief but by praying for boldness, we are called to do the same. God does not give a spirit of fear. He gives power, love, and a sound mind. Walking in the Spirit is not reserved for crisis moments. It is a daily practice that builds the strength needed before the storm arrives. You were made for such a time as th
For Such a Time as This: Standing Firm
2mo ago
We are living in a time when truth is being debated and the pressure to compromise what we believe is intense. But this is not a new problem. Daniel faced the same pressure in Babylon, and his response teaches us what it means to live with genuine conviction. Conviction is not something you develop in a crisis. It is something you settle beforehand, before the pressure arrives. Daniel resolved not to defile himself before anyone tested him, and then he pursued that conviction with wisdom and grace rather than conflict. God honored his stand, and He can honor ours too. The question worth asking
For Such a Time as This: When the World Shakes
2mo ago
In a world filled with uncertainty and anxiety, many wonder how to respond to extraordinary times. The story of Esther reveals that God positions ordinary people for extraordinary purposes during challenging moments in history. Biblical confidence isn't about knowing what will happen, but trusting who God is when we don't understand what He's doing. Like Esther, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we can face uncertainty with confidence because God is our ever-present help in trouble. Instead of asking why we must live through difficult times, we should ask how God wants us to live through them.
The Reason | Guest Speaker: Dan Blair
2mo ago
Christians carry hope in a hopeless world, and this hope compels us to engage in missions through giving, going, sending, and sharing. First Peter 3:15 calls believers to be ready to explain the reason for their hope with gentleness and respect. We give to missions because hope is worth investing in and generosity reflects God's nature. We go on mission trips because hope moves and these experiences shape us spiritually. We send missionaries because the world still needs messengers and sending is biblical. Ultimately, missions flows from hearts where Jesus is king, transforming lives both loca
Positioned For More: Legacy of Increase
3mo ago
Building a spiritual legacy means shifting from asking what God is doing for you to what God is doing through you that must outlive you. Unlike inheritance which is what you leave to someone, legacy is what you leave in someone - transforming their character rather than just their circumstances. The Bible shows us through Asaph in Psalm 78 that spiritual legacy requires three commitments: listening to God's teaching, remembering His faithfulness, and intentionally passing it on to future generations. Your spiritual increase becomes legacy when it moves from personal testimony to active transmi
Six Habits of Spiritual Increase: Availability
3mo ago
Availability to God means offering your time, gifts, relationships, resources, and influence for His purposes. It requires moving beyond mere intention to active participation in kingdom work. Biblical examples like Isaiah saying "send me," Mary's willing obedience despite inconvenience, and Moses using what was already in his hands show that availability begins with surrender. Peter's boat story demonstrates how God repositions us when we make ourselves available despite exhaustion or previous failures. True availability means fitting life around kingdom priorities rather than fitting God int
Six Habits of Spiritual Increase: Expectation
3mo ago
The habit of expectation is a powerful spiritual posture that positions believers between God's promises and their fulfillment. Unlike wishful thinking, biblical expectation is rooted in confident faith that God will actively respond to our needs. Hebrews 11:1 reveals three levels of mature faith: believing in God, trusting God, and expecting God to move. The 120 believers in Acts 1 demonstrated this habit by positioning themselves expectantly before Pentecost, creating the spiritual atmosphere for God's powerful response. Unprocessed disappointment, viewing delay as failure, and spiritual cyn
Positioned for More: Influence of Increase
3mo ago
Divine influence is the visible expansion of Christ's presence through transformed believers. It operates on the principle of evidence of presence - before you even speak, your presence carries the influence of Christ. As living letters written by the Spirit of God, believers should be recognizable as those who have been with Jesus. This influence manifests through peace in chaos, wisdom in confusion, and faith over fear. Every environment you enter - your home, workplace, and community - is impacted by what you carry. The world desperately needs authentic Christians who bring calm to anxiety
Six Habits of Spiritual Increase: Agreement
3mo ago
Agreement is one of the most powerful spiritual habits we can develop, creating harmony between ourselves, God, and others. Biblical agreement means creating a symphony where different parts work together for God's greater purpose, not requiring identical thoughts or actions. We often struggle with agreement because we're conditioned to be right rather than find unity. True spiritual power flows when we align with God's Word, bring our internal thoughts and words into harmony, and pursue unity with others. Making agreement a habit requires evaluating our alignment with God, assessing our inter
Positioned For More: Nature of Increase
3mo ago
Divine increase isn't about external blessings but internal transformation that produces spiritual fruit. The Apostle Paul, transformed from religious terrorist to apostle of grace, outlines nine fruits of the Spirit in three levels: inward transformation (love, joy, peace), relational transformation (patience, kindness, goodness), and spiritual maturity (faithfulness, gentleness, self-control). Before God increases you externally, He increases you internally. The key question is what consistent fruit people see in your life over time. True spiritual growth requires surrendering old patterns t
Six Habits of Spiritual Increase: The Word - Six Habits of Spiritual Increase

Many believers have access to biblical information but struggle with real transformation. The key difference lies between reading for information versus developing a transformative habit. True belief follows a cycle: information becomes belief, belief becomes behavior, behavior becomes habit, and habit produces alignment with heaven. The RALLY method offers a practical 5-7 minute daily approach: Read one Scripture, Ask God what it means for your life, Listen for the Holy Spirit's voice, Live by taking action on what you've learned, and Yield control to God. Consistency matters more than volume
Positioned For More: Capacity For Increase
4mo ago
True spiritual increase isn't about what we want to receive, but whether God can trust us with more. Spiritual capacity is what our lives have been prepared to carry, not just what we can handle. The key lies in understanding the battle between flesh and Spirit, and where we draw our identity from. When we root our identity in Christ rather than ourselves or others' opinions, we develop the internal formation necessary for external expansion. Like a branch connected to a vine, our capacity grows through abiding in Christ. God prepares us for something before giving us something, requiring spir
Six Habits of Spiritual Increase: Prayer - Six Habits of Spiritual Increase
4mo ago
Prayer is more than asking God for things - it's the foundational habit that positions us to receive divine increase. When we develop consistent prayer patterns, we create space for God's multiplying presence to flow through us. Prayer habits reposition our perspective from reacting to circumstances to responding to what God is saying. The biblical pattern shows that prayer becomes the habit we develop, alignment becomes the life we live, and increase becomes what God releases. Instead of waiting for God to change our situation, we must first change our position through consistent prayer.
Positioned for More: Pattern of Increase - Positioned for More
4mo ago
God has a consistent pattern for spiritual growth and increase that Jesus modeled during His earthly development. From Luke 2:52, we see that Jesus increased in four essential areas: wisdom (internal formation), stature (personal growth and character), favor with God (spiritual alignment), and favor with man (external influence and credibility). These four elements must develop simultaneously, not sequentially. Jesus spent 18 years from age 12 to 30 developing this pattern before beginning His public ministry, demonstrating that what feels like delay is often development. God builds capacity i
Positioned For More: The God of Increase
4mo ago
God designed humanity for exponential increase, not just simple addition. From the very first command to be fruitful and multiply, God hardwired growth into creation itself. While we participate in this process through preparation and obedience, the true increase comes from Him alone. To position ourselves for divine multiplication, we must enlarge our capacity, stretch beyond comfort zones, and strengthen our spiritual foundations. This requires decreasing our ego so Christ can increase in our lives. God wants to multiply our influence and impact not for our glory, but to expand His kingdom a
Easter 2026: Something More
4mo ago
Easter Sunday answers humanity's deepest question: Is there something more? From the beginning, God designed for His people to live in His place under His rule and enjoy His blessing. When Adam and Eve disobeyed, this design was broken, leaving humanity searching for what was lost. Throughout history, God worked to restore His original plan. Jesus came proclaiming that God's kingdom was returning to earth, and through His resurrection, that kingdom became available to all. Today, through faith in Jesus Christ, we can become God's people, live in His place, submit to His loving rule, and receiv
Good Friday 2026
4mo ago
The question of who killed Jesus reveals a sobering truth: we all bear responsibility. Historical figures like Herod, Pilate, the Pharisees, and Roman soldiers each represent different aspects of human sin that led to Christ's crucifixion. Herod's impurity, Pilate's denial of truth, the Pharisees' pride, and the soldiers' indifference mirror our own failings. Every sin we commit - whether dishonesty, pride, or lack of compassion - spiritually places another nail in Jesus' hands. Yet this recognition leads to beautiful truth: Christ's sacrifice was made out of love, providing redemption for all
