What would you say if someone asked you what the 10 commandments are and if they are still relevant to us today?Oleh Jerry Naville

As the People of God, we are called to rally around the banner of Jesus Christ. We have to learn to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, tell the Good News of Jesus Christ, and share the ministry of helping people find their way back to God.Oleh Michael Amatuzzo

The power of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead can be hard to believe. His closest followers struggled to believe even though the tomb was empty! But for nearly 2,000 years, people have gathered together to celebrate and share the good news that Jesus is alive and has come to bring us peace with God.…

The question isn't whether we will go through the wilderness, it's when & how. We all go through seasons of life that are hard & challenging. The good news is that the wilderness is not the final stop. God can use the time to grow our faith and increase our trust in Him as The People of God.Oleh Ken Long

Exodus 13 & 14 describe the beginning of a really long road trip and the most difficult predicament Israel had ever faced up to this point in their history. But what makes their situation unique is that God's response to it will become one of the most talked about, most celebrated events in Israel's history. And there are lessons in it that relate …

In John chapter 1 Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world…but have you ever wondered why? These powerful words are meant to point us to a historical event that has been recorded for us in the book of Exodus.

In the first nine plagues God begins to fight for his people and shows the extent to which he will go to redeem them. Join Dan Towle as we continue in our series called People of God.

Early in the book of Exodus God begins to make the power of His name known to a variety of different people. The question they were faced with is the same question we wrestle with today: do we trust in the promises of God and the power of His name, or will we choose to ignore them and turn away from Him?…

In Exodus 3 & 4, we see how God uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. Join Dan Towle as we continue our series in the book of Exodus titled The People of God.Oleh Dan Towle

The book of Exodus tells us how God claimed the Israelites as his very own people, and the good news is that the same is true for anyone that has put their faith in Jesus today!Oleh Jerry Naville

It's important to take time to stop and celebrate the work that God is doing in our lives and through our church family. Join us as we celebrate how God has blessed Genesis over the last year, and learn more about our new series in Exodus, "The People of God."Oleh Jerry Naville

Memorizing and meditating on God’s word is important, but to hide his word in our hearts we must move past just cognitive memorization, it has to move from mind, to heart.Oleh Michael Amatuzzo

Prayer is meant to be a conversation with God…which makes it sound easy. However, learning to pray can be intimidating! Thankfully Jesus has provided us with a structure for prayer that can help us draw closer to God in simple and personal ways.Oleh Jerry Naville

Jesus modeled when and how to connect with God in a busy world. When we follow the examples Jesus modeled, intentionally removing the loud distractions of daily life, God takes important action in our lives.Oleh Steve Davis

One moment WITH God can change everything. In Luke 2:8-18, we find the story of the shepherds encountering God's very presence. They went from watching their sheep to telling everyone about the newborn Messiah King.Oleh John Rinehimer

Christmas can mean a lot of things. Don't miss what's most important. God sent Jesus, Immanuel. What was true then is true today. He is God WITH Us.Oleh Jerry Naville

It’s OK to have money… as long as MONEY doesn’t have us. And that’s where the problem usually arises. We go looking to money to meet our needs, to cover up our wounds, and to satisfy. But the important, and sometimes difficult lesson to learn about life and money and satisfaction is this… true, lasting satisfaction only comes to us through Jesus! T…

If we're not careful, fear can overwhelm any of us. It has a way of sneaking into just about every aspect of life, including how we think about and manage our money. God doesn’t want us living in fear. Thankfully, he has something better for each of us - a way of living that decreases our fear of the unknown and increases our trust in Him.…

The way we view money and possessions can be positive and life-giving, or negative and disruptive. On several occasions, Jesus warned that a love of money can distract our hearts away from God and have damaging eternal consequences. The question that all of us need to answer is this; how can we learn to want less stuff so we can enjoy true contentm…

We live in a world that idolizes money and tempts us into believing the lie that the more we have the better life will be. The problem is that our pursuit of more has lead to more stress, more anxiety and more discontentment - no matter how much we have, make or save. Jesus has identified the problem as greed and he wants to help us learn how to de…

In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul reminds followers of Jesus that living a Sent life begins by allowing our behaviors to flow from our identity in Christ. We must continually abide in him so that our relationship with him can guide the way we live for him.Oleh John Rinehimer

The final chapter of the book of Acts begins with the Apostle Paul surviving a shipwreck and then being bitten by a viper…and it ends with him on house arrest and chained to a Roman soldier. But in spite of those challenges, he continued to live out his faith in Jesus and even got to see the fruits of his labor. In this final chapter of Acts, Paul …

Life is guaranteed to be stormy at times, but what do you do when the storms of life attack your peace and rob you of joy? In Acts 27 the Apostle Paul shows us that it is possible to experience and share the peace of God in spite of the storms of life.Oleh Jerry Naville

In Acts 24, Luke gives us a contrast between two men who respond very differently to the convenience of Jesus as Lord. The truth is, very little about following Jesus is convenient; it requires that we give total Lordship to every area of our lives. But, living under the Lordship of Jesus is the best place for us and also the honor he deserves.…

The story of what God has done in our lives is meant to be on our lips everywhere we go. In Acts 22 we will discover that Jesus called Paul to use his story to share God's story, and that he calls us to do the same.Oleh Michael Amatuzzo

Farewell speeches have the potential to inspire and instruct. In Acts 20, Paul offers some important words for how to live a faithful life for Jesus in this world.Oleh Jerry Naville

In Acts 19, we find the Apostle Paul continuing his missionary work in the city of Ephesus. During his time there, the Holy Spirit used Paul’s faithfulness in the small things to accomplish big things for God’s Kingdom. But the biggest impact may have been what happens at the end of the chapter when the Holy Spirit convicted followers of Jesus to b…

God is able to work through anyone who is willing and ready to be used by Him.Oleh Jerry Naville

In Acts 17 the Apostle Paul arrived in a city where people weren’t just far from God – they were completely confused about who God is and what He is like. But instead of getting angry or shrugging his shoulders and walking away, he applied his perspective as a follower of Jesus to introduce them to “an unknown God” who had the power to give them et…

Life is hard and we don’t always get what we want. It’s Ok to pray and tell God what you need. There are also incredible benefits to asking God to give you the feet you need for the journey.Oleh Paul Mumaw

It’s easy for us to think that many of the stories in the Old Testament are weird, obscure, and unrelated. But, when we take a closer look at how the Old Testament is put together, we discover that it’s a collection of connected promises that are meant to help us understand the ancient past, make sense of the chaos of today, and most importantly - …

God's plan almost never looks like our plan. There's too much suffering, too many loose ends. But if we trust him, and can see our lives as part of a larger story, we'll see he's always with us, and he's weaving a beautiful tapestry with our lives.Oleh Steve Wallen

Life has a way pulling us down and making us feel forgotten by God. In Genesis 37 we meet a young man named Joseph who was rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery, and put into prison. But even as his life continued to spiral downward, he began to learn that the Lord was with him, and would eventually use it all for his good and the good of his…

It is our natural fleshly desire to try to fix and achieve everything on our own, but The True Gospel says that we are made right with God by His grace alone. When we choose doing and earning and achieving instead of simply receiving God’s grace by faith, we miss out on the true freedom Christ desires for our lives.…

The story of Jonah is pretty well-known... at least the fish part. But even in Jonah's disobedience, we see an incredible story of a God who is faithful, even when we're not. Pastor Steve Wallen dives into this classic story from the Old Testament as we continue our summer series, Sticky Stories.

It’s easy for us to allow the busyness and stress of life to define our perspective. The problem with that approach is that it tends to factor God out of the details and leaves us feeling alone and empty. In 1 Kings 19 we meet a man named Elijah who lost his perspective and needed God’s help to readjust his focus so he could see God at work in the …

Executive Pastor Steve Wallen explores the story of Samson in the book of Judges and how we often rely on our own strength, when God is calling us to rely on Him alone.Oleh Steve Wallen

Living the life we’re called to as a follower of Jesus is rarely easy. It requires choosing to trust Him enough to obediently follow His commands and His calls. In the story of Gideon we see what can happen when we take God at His word, and we also see why it’s so important that we remain connected with God.…

There is an “us vs. them” mentality that has been tearing our world apart for centuries. It allows petty things like politics, economic, social status, age, and even skin color to draw hurtful boundaries between people. In Acts 11 we find an anonymous group of believers who show us what happens when the Church leads the way in shattering the us vs.…

Groups Pastor Dan Towle continues in Week 5 of our SENT SeriesOleh Dan Towle

Life happens. People hurt us. If we’re not careful, bitterness can get the best of us and influence everything we do. Someone once said, “Bitterness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.” God can help us overcome our BITTERNESS so that we can travel light.Oleh Paul Mumaw

We have the potential of sending a lot of mixed messages with our lives. What kind of message is your life sending? The way you live, talk, and act says a lot about what's important to you. Lead Pastor Paul Mumaw continues in our Grow series diving into John 20.Oleh Paul Mumaw

In John 18 we see the inevitable clash between Jesus & the powers of darkness. As this plays out we how that Jesus always stands victorious and also that he gives us a model of how to live out our faith in him today.Oleh Dan Towle

If we had to boil it down to just one thing that we're supposed to do, what would that be? What is the greatest commandment? In Mark chapter 12, Jesus was asked this exact question. Join Pastor Ben Crouse as he examines Jesus' response and unpacks how we live out the Greatest Commandment.Oleh Ben Crouse

It's not hard to find stories of people who have been hurt by a church and have been left disappointed, wounded, and reeling. It would be easy to throw in the towel on the Church and write it off completely. But scripture tells us that Jesus established, loved, and died for His Church. Jerry Naville shares the reasons he loves the Church, and speci…
