Pastor Greg begins a new message series, "Surrender: The Mouth & the Mind," with Part 1 focusing on the power of our words. James 3 reminds us that although the tongue is small, it has tremendous influence. Our words can bring healing and encouragement, or they can cause hurt and destruction. Scripture teaches that what comes out of our mouths reveals what is truly in our hearts.

In a culture where words are often spoken carelessly, God calls His people to recognize the responsibility that comes with speech. Jesus taught that we will give an account for every careless word, and our words often leave a lasting impact on those around us. The question is not simply what we are saying, but what our words reveal about the condition of our hearts. Are we producing good fruit, speaking life, and drawing others toward Christ?

The good news is that God does not leave us to fight this battle alone. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, He can transform our hearts and, in turn, our speech. As we yield ourselves to Him, He helps us speak words that build others up, encourage faith, and bring glory to Christ. Join us as we discover how surrendering our mouths to God begins with surrendering our hearts to Him.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg shares a Memorial Day message titled “Are You Burning The Burnt Offering?” As we remember those who sacrificed for our freedom, we also reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for all mankind—and the sacrifice we are called to make in return. Romans 12 reminds us that our lives are to be offered to God as living sacrifices, fully surrendered and devoted to Him.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg shares a message titled “When My Foot Slips” from Psalm 94:17-19. Life often feels unstable, uncertain, and overwhelming, but even in our weakest moments, God remains our steady help. When we feel like we are slipping under the weight of anxiety, fear, failure, or emotional struggles, His steadfast love holds us up.

Life is not an accident — it is a gift from God, created for His glory. Join us this Sunday as we look at Colossians 1 and discover that the lives entrusted to us are meant to be raised through Christ, shaped by His strength, and pointed back to His purpose. Through every joy, struggle, and season of parenting, God is faithful to carry us through. “For His Glory” is a message about identity, purpose, and the incredible calling God has placed on our lives and families.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg shares a message titled “Jesus Calls Whom He Desires,” based on Mark 3. As Jesus called His disciples, Scripture makes it clear that He chose those He desired—intentionally, purposefully, and with divine determination. This reminds us of a powerful truth: our relationship with Christ does not begin with our choice of Him, but with His choice of us. In His love and grace, Jesus calls us to Himself, not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg brings a message titled “Victory,” rooted in 1 John 5:1–5. Scripture reminds us that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ has been born of God—and that through this new life, we are given the power to overcome the world. Victory is not something we achieve on our own; it is something we receive through faith. True spiritual victory comes not by striving harder, but by trusting deeper in who Jesus is and what He has already done.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg concludes the series Jonah & the City: The Relentless Love of God with a message titled “God Cares For You.” In Jonah 4, God uses a simple plant to reveal a powerful truth—while Jonah was consumed with his own comfort, God’s heart was focused on people. This passage reminds us that God’s concern extends far beyond our circumstances; He is deeply invested in the lives of people everywhere, desiring that none should perish but that all would come to repentance.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg continues the series Jonah & the City: The Relentless Love of God with a message titled “Comfort Over Concern.” In Jonah 4, we see an unexpected response from Jonah—anger. After God shows mercy to Nineveh, Jonah is displeased because the outcome did not match his expectations. His reaction reveals a deeper struggle that we often face as well: valuing our own comfort, preferences, and sense of control over God’s greater purpose and plan.

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Greg continues the series Jonah & the City: The Relentless Love of God with a powerful message titled “Greater Than Jonah.” In Matthew 12, the religious leaders demanded a sign from Jesus, but He pointed them to the greatest sign of all—His death, burial, and resurrection. Just as Jonah spent three days in the belly of the fish, Jesus would spend three days in the grave and rise again, proving once and for all that He is the Son of God and the Savior of the world.

When God speaks, will we respond?

In Jonah 3, we witness the power of true revival—when hearts turn, lives change. God calls Jonah again, reminding us that He is not just the God of a second chance, but of many chances. We don’t have to be perfect or impressive—just willing to go and be real.

This message challenges us to move beyond simply believing in God to truly believing Him, leading to repentance and transformation. When people turn to God, He responds with grace, mercy, and restoration.

Turn back to God… and watch what He can do.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg continues the series Jonah & the City: The Relentless Love of God with a message titled “In the Storm & the Belly.” In Jonah 1–2 we see the prophet caught in a violent storm and ultimately swallowed by a great fish. While it may look like the end of Jonah’s story, it was actually the beginning of God working in his life. Like Jonah, we often find ourselves in storms or in the “belly” of difficult circumstances—moments when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or completely out of our control.

This Sunday, Pastor Greg continues the series Jonah & the City: The Relentless Love of God with a message titled “The Runaway.” The story of Jonah reminds us how easy it is to resist God’s leading. Sometimes we do not want to go where God is calling us, do what He is asking us to do, or give up what He is asking us to surrender. Like Jonah, our instinct can be to go the other direction and run from what God has placed before us.

Yet Scripture reminds us that running from God never truly takes us away from Him. Psalm 139 declares that no matter where we go—whether to the heights of heaven or the depths of the grave—God is already there. His presence surrounds us, His hand guides us, and His strength sustains us. Even in the darkest places of life, we cannot hide from His Spirit or escape His loving pursuit.

The good news is that God’s pursuit of us is not driven by judgment but by His relentless love. Instead of running away from Him, we are invited to turn around and run toward Him. When we stop fleeing and begin surrendering, we discover that God has been guiding us all along, calling us back to His presence, His purpose, and His grace.

When God told Jonah to “Arise and go,” Jonah ran—but God’s relentless love pursued both the prophet and the city. This Sunday, Pastor Greg will show us that the same Word that came to Jonah has come to us: we are sent on mission to shine the light of Christ in a dark world. Jesus has commissioned us to go, to live the gospel boldly, and to spread the fragrance of His knowledge everywhere.

Through Christ, we are part of His victory procession, called to be a fragrant aroma—bringing life to some and a testimony of truth to all. The story of Jonah reminds us that God’s heart is for people everywhere, desiring that none should perish. Don’t let fear keep you from obeying His call. The Word of the Lord has come to us—live it, show it, and share it.

Love is more than a feeling—it is a choice, an action, and a sacrifice. In 1 Corinthians 13, we see that faith and hope are powerful, but the greatest of these is love. This week, Pastor Greg unpacks the beauty of agape love—God’s self-giving, unconditional love that flows from who He is. Scripture reminds us that God didn’t just talk about love; He demonstrated it by sending His Son for us.

Because He first loved us, we are now called to love others in the same way. We’ve been shown the greatest love, given the greatest love, and invited to live as part of the greatest love story ever told. Join us as we celebrate and respond to the love that changes everything.

Because of Christ, we don’t fight for victory—we live from victory. Scripture tells us that despite everything we face, overwhelming victory is ours through Jesus, and we are part of His ongoing triumphal procession. This week, Pastor Greg walks us through what it truly means to be victorious champions in Christ—having victory over the world, over sin, over shame, and even over death itself.

The world promises fulfillment but delivers frustration, pressure, and self-centered striving. In contrast, Jesus offers peace, truth, freedom, and a new identity rooted in grace. Through faith, we are no longer defined by condemnation, performance, or weakness; instead, we stand secure as citizens of heaven, strengthened by God’s power when we are weak.

Join us as we’re reminded that true victory comes not from our own strength, but from trusting fully in Christ, who has already overcome.

Surrender: Control Freaks

Control touches every part of our lives—but when we insist on calling the shots, we drift from trusting God. Looking at Exodus 32 and the golden calf, Pastor Greg shows how the desire for control leads to impatience, self-reliance, and worship on our own terms instead of surrender to the Lord. True freedom comes when we stop gripping so tightly and start trusting fully.

Join us as we learn why control and surrender can’t coexist, and how following Jesus means choosing “not my will, but Yours be done.”

In Romans 8, we discover the freedom and life that come from walking according to the Spirit instead of the flesh. This week, Pastor Greg shares how daily surrender to the Holy Spirit leads to real transformation, victory over sin, and confident living as sons and daughters of God. Being led by the Spirit isn’t just a feeling—it’s a lifestyle that shapes our thoughts, choices, and direction.

Join us as we learn how the Spirit actively guides, empowers, and grows us in Christlike character.

Faith is essential to spiritual growth, and without it, we cannot please God. In this message, Paul Volbretch teaches from Hebrews 11 and James 2, showing how faith is built through our trust in God, our obedience, and even through seasons of testing. Biblical faith is more than belief—it is confidence that leads to action.

As we continue our Leveling Up series, we are reminded that faith grows when it is exercised, empowered by God’s grace, and strengthened by the help of the Holy Spirit. Join us as we explore how living faith transforms our walk with Christ.

As one year closes and another begins, many of us carry hopes that have been delayed, disappointed, or even lost. Scripture reminds us that true hope is not temporary or fragile—it is living and secure. Through God’s great mercy, we are born again to a living hope made certain by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This week, Pastor Greg shares a message of encouragement, pointing us back to the only hope that does not fail. When our faith and hope are placed in God, we discover an inheritance that is eternal, unfading, and kept for us in heaven.
