In Part 1 of the Path to Redemption series, we open in Luke 22 — and find one of the most painful moments in the Gospels. Not the cross. Not the arrest. But a man who loved Jesus deeply... denying he ever knew Him.

Peter wasn't a coward. He was bold, fearless, and ready to die for Jesus — until he wasn't. And the warning signs were there. Jesus saw it coming. He even told Peter it would happen. But Peter trusted himself more than he trusted the warning.

This message traces the slow drift that leads to denial. How distance from Jesus makes you comfortable in the wrong environments. How fear silences what faith once declared boldly. And how — even in Peter's worst moment — Jesus looks at him not with condemnation, but with grace.

The big idea is simple and sobering: Distance from Jesus leads to denial of Jesus. But His grace meets you even there.

If you've ever drifted. If you've ever stayed quiet when you should have spoken up. If you've ever looked back at a moment and thought — I should have been stronger than that — this message is for you.

Denial doesn't have to be final. Peter proves that.

In the first message of our Miracle Maker series, we open Luke 5 and watch Jesus call His first disciples through a miraculous catch of fish. This moment reveals a powerful truth that still challenges us today: obedience comes before understanding.

Peter obeys Jesus even when it doesn’t make sense, encounters the holiness of God, and is invited into a life-changing mission. This message calls us to trust Jesus’ word, surrender what we’re holding onto, and follow Him fully — even when we don’t have all the answers.

This episode launches a four-part series exploring unique miracles in the Gospel of Luke and the deeper lessons behind each one.

In the first message of our Storyteller series through the Gospel of Luke, we explore the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus uses this powerful story to redefine what it means to love God and love our neighbor, showing that true compassion overcomes every barrier. This message invites us to receive God’s mercy and reflect that mercy to others.

Christmas reveals a God whose ways are higher than ours—a big God who stepped into humble circumstances for ordinary people. In Luke 2, we see Jesus born in obscurity, announced to shepherds, and offered as good news of great joy for all. This Christmas message invites us to make room for Jesus, believe the gospel, and find the peace only He can give.

As we begin our new series, Good News of Great Joy, we look at the remarkable birth and calling of John the Baptist in Luke 1. Through the angel Gabriel’s announcement and Zechariah’s Spirit-filled prophecy, we see John’s mission clearly: to prepare people for the coming of Jesus.

This message explores the three core themes of John’s ministry—repentance, God’s mercy, and walking in the light—and reminds us that just as John prepared the way for Christ’s first coming, we are called to prepare ourselves and others for His return.

Have you ever felt like life left you walking down a long, dark road? In Luke 24, two disciples do just that — until a stranger changes everything. In the first message of our Full Tables series, we discover that even when we don’t recognize Him, Jesus is near.

Whether you're in a season of doubt or just need fresh hope, this episode reminds us that the risen Christ walks beside us — speaking truth, breaking bread, and opening eyes.

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s action. In the final message of The Greatest of These series, we’re reminded that agape love is our highest calling. Before we can love others well, we must first be loved by God. This sermon challenges us to live with intention, love sacrificially, and reflect Christ in every relationship—starting at home.

This is part 1 of our new series, The Greatest of These, walking through 1 Corinthians 13. In this message, we explore how even the most powerful actions—speaking in tongues, giving to the poor, even sacrificing your life—amount to nothing if they aren’t done in love. God is not impressed by performance. He’s after our hearts. This message calls us to examine our motivations and realign everything we do with love for God and others.
