Summer Sabbath - Week Two

Keeping sabbath is an act of resistance. In this sermon, Jordan explores three lies of identity (we are what we do, we are what we have, and we are what others say about us) and how practicing sabbath helps us to resist these lies and lean into the truth that we are God's beloved.

Summer Sabbath - Week One

When we practice Sabbath, we’re not just taking a break from work, we’re returning to the heart of God’s design for relationships and renewal. This week, Adam kicks off our Summer Sabbath series by offering three ways to look at Sabbath and reminding us that when we Sabbath, we’re rehearsing for the Kingdom of God.

You've Heard It Said - Jesus Take The Wheel

Many of us have heard the advice (or the song) that we ought to let "Jesus Take The Wheel." This week, Jordan continues our series, "You've Heard It Said," with a closer look at this common phrase. Together, we explore how faith and personal responsibility can work together, and what it really means to trust God with our lives. 

You've Heard It Said - Follow Your Heart

Follow Your Heart
In movies, songs, and well-meaning conversations, we hear the phrase, “Follow your heart.” Is this advice in line with the Bible? In this sermon, Adam offers five helpful “runway lights” to keep us on track with God’s will as we discern the path forward in our lives. Hint—one of them involves our hearts.

You've Heard It Said - More Than You Can Handle

Ever heard someone say, "God won't give you more than you can handle"? It sounds good, but it might not be the whole story. In fact, Scripture is full of stories about people who faced more than they could bear. This week, Jordan explores how we might adjust this common phrase in light of what God does give us - his grace, his presence, and his Spirit.

Three Ways God Lets Us Down, and Why We Can Still Trust Him

Echoes of Easter - Eutychus

The story of Eutychus is a powerful reminder that Jesus meets us in our exhaustion and offers true rest and renewal. This week, Adam continues our "Echoes of Easter" series with a look at Eutychus' story and an encouragement to welcome Jesus into our own weariness. 

Echoes of Easter - The Widow of Nain

When Jesus encounters a widow whose son has died, his compassion leads to a surprising twist in her life trajectory. In this sermon, Jordan takes us into the details of this the story, revealing Jesus’s heart and showing that God is in the business of turning endings into new beginnings.

Echoes of Easter - Tabitha

Jordan kicks off our sermon series, Echoes of Resurrection, investigating what we can learn from Tabitha’s story. He offers observations about lament, legacy, and living with the end in mind, challenging us to trust that when we come to the end of the story, God is on the other side.
