We just launched a new series called Bless. It’s all about how Jesus has called us to live as people who don’t just talk about the Gospel—but embody it.

From the very beginning, God’s plan was that His people would be a blessing to the world. He said to Abram:

“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
(Genesis 12:2–3, NIV)

And the apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians that this promise extends to us:
“All who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.” (Galatians 3:9, NLT)

In other words: Loved people, love people. Blessed people, bless people.
We are blessed to be a blessing.

The Best Way to Bless

The best way you can bless another person is to share the Good News of Jesus—through your words, your actions, your attitude, and your example.

Jesus gave His followers this commission:

“Go and make disciples of all the nations… And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19–20)

And He promised His Spirit to empower us:

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Did you know?

96% of practicing Christians say that being a witness for Jesus is part of their faith.

79% of unchurched people say they don’t mind talking about faith if it’s something their friend really values.

The harvest is ready. People are more open than we sometimes think—they just need us to show up with love and authenticity.

What if sharing the Gospel looked a lot like being a friend?

Here’s the framework we’ll be practicing together during this series:

• Begin with Prayer

• Listen with Love

• Eat with Intention

• Serve with Care

• Share Your Story

These rhythms are simple, but they’re powerful. They help us reframe everyday interactions as opportunities to love, serve, and share Jesus.

What if we saw obstacles as opportunities to bless? What if we stepped out in faith, trusting that small acts of obedience could lead to big outpourings of transformation?

If we want to see God move in our community, it begins with us going out and blessing others.

Because our actions have eternal consequences—not just for us, but for the people God has placed in our path.

Let’s be a church that lives this out.
Let’s be blessed to be a blessing.

W e wrapped up our teaching series, “Schooled By Wisdom: Lessons from Proverbs.” Over the past several weeks, we’ve been on a journey through God’s Word, discovering that wisdom isn’t just about knowing the right things — it’s about living them in the everyday moments of our lives.

Here are just a few of the key takeaways we’ve learned together:

• Our words carry power. They can bring life or death. When we slow down, listen, and speak with grace, we reflect the heart of God.

• Contentment brings peace. True satisfaction isn’t found in chasing more — it’s found in trusting God as our provider.

• Community sharpens us. Healthy, godly relationships help us grow, hold us accountable, and remind us we’re not alone.

• Work is worship. Whatever we do, when we do it for the Lord, it carries purpose and eternal value.

• Control is surrender. Life is never truly “in control” until we hand the reins over to God, trusting Him to guide our steps.

Proverbs reminds us that even the smallest decisions can have a big impact — for good or bad. Every step we take in wisdom shapes us into the people God is calling us to be.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
-Proverbs 4:23 

May we walk in wisdom this week!

We continued our series called “Schooled by Wisdom”. Proverbs tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction”(Proverbs 1:7).

This week we explored what a fool is, a fool isn’t just someone who makes mistakes — a fool is someone who chooses to live in opposition to God’s ways. And while nobody wants to be a fool, our culture often celebrates foolishness.

Fools talk more than they listen.
Fools fear people more than they fear God.
Fools blame God for their problems.
Fools are driven by their desires and repeat their mistakes.
Fools even bring others into their foolishness.

But here’s the good news: Jesus turns fools into family.

At one time, we were all foolish, living for ourselves and enslaved by sin. But through His mercy, Jesus saved us — not because of anything we’ve done, but because of His grace (Titus 3:3-7). He gives us a new identity and a new foundation to build our lives on.

The world may look at the message of the cross and call it foolishness, but to those of us who believe, it is the power and wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:18, 25).

If you want to build a life that lasts, take Jesus at His Word:

“Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24

Foolishness will never lead to freedom. But wisdom — the kind that comes from God — will.

We launched our new sermon series Schooled by Wisdom, a journey through the book of Proverbs. At the heart of Proverbs is a simple but life-changing truth: wisdom is not just knowing what’s right—it’s choosing to live it out.

Wisdom is the understanding and application of God’s will and ways. It shapes how we think, speak, relate, and love so that we can experience the good life God desires for us.

One of the central questions we asked was: What are you afraid of?

Proverbs 1:7 reminds us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

But what does it mean to “fear the Lord”?

• It’s not about being terrified of God.

• It’s about living in right relationship with Him—holding a reverent awe that leads to humble submission.

• As John Bunyan once wrote, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end.”

Throughout Scripture, we see that the fear of the Lord brings blessing, life, security, and peace (Proverbs 14:26–27, 19:23). In contrast, the fear of man leads only to burden and traps (Proverbs 29:25).

Here are some key takeaways from this week’s message:

• The fear of the Lord isn’t about punishment—it’s about faithfulness and freedom.

• To fear God is to hate evil, pride, and arrogance (Proverbs 8:13).

• True wisdom produces peace, even when life feels chaotic.

• Proper perspective—seeing life through God’s wisdom—leads to perfect peace.

As we continue through Proverbs, we’re reminded that God is generous with His wisdom: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault” (James 1:5).

Or as Saint Francis de Sales beautifully put it:
“We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.”

This series will help us grow in wisdom—not just to know the right things, but to walk in them daily.

We wrapped up our teaching series called "Learning to Listen" in which we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We typically struggle to hear God for reasons like, our life is too noisy, our schedules are too busy, we aren’t paying attention, and we don’t know what His voice sounds like. Over the last couple weeks, we have been exploring different ways God speaks to us, this week we looked at how God can speak through anything, but we focused on three key places he sends us message the most frequently...creation, culture, and circumstances. Below are so key take aways.

-God does not live and speak in only the places you think He should.

-If we only look and listen for God in certain places, then we will certainly miss Him in many places.

-Nature invites us to be still and Know God.

-Things don’t have to be made for His glory to point to His glory.

-Instead of asking why is this happening, try asking, what is God trying to teach me in the midst of this?

So, remember as you are desiring to hear from God, to keep these three things on your radar! First, always be looking and listening for Him no matter where you are. Secondly, develop healthy habits that help you know and hear from God regularly. Finally, learn and remember what the voice of love sounds like. Continue to draw near to Him and let Him whisper to you. 

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We continued our teaching series called "Learning to Listen" in which we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We typically struggle to hear God for reasons like, our life is too noisy, our schedules are too busy, we aren’t paying attention, and we don’t know what His voice sounds like. Over the last couple weeks, we have been exploring different ways God speaks to us; this week we looked at how God speaks to us through other people. Having a Godly community of people who speak into our lives is so important, most of our worst decisions were made by not listening to wise counsel or not seeking it. Most sin and shame start in seclusion. We are at our best and most whole in community. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Not every message proclaimed to be from God is from God. We must make sure it aligns with scripture, is in step with the Spirit, and is sensed by Godly community.
-God tends to send four different times of messages to us through people: Cheering (Encouraging), Convicting, Clarifying, and calling.
-Encouragement from others is like an encounter with the divine
-Conviction that leads to Christ-centric correction brings freedom not burden.
-Community has the ability to help clarify what God is saying to us.
-Invitation and affirmation are often the entrance into God’s will.

So, as you seek to listen to know if God is speaking to you through someone else or if God is speaking to you to say to someone else! Remember these three things! First be open to God Speaking, we have to listen. Secondly, live In Community That Cares enough to say what needs to be heard to grow. And finally, walk out the wisdom you learn, the bible tells us to not be mere hearings of the word but also doers.

Speaker: Pastor Jerry Ausbrook

We continued our teaching series Learning to Listen where we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We learned how our lives should be built on the foundation of God's word. His Word guides and transforms us. It shows our true intentions and who we are or aren't. We are all called by good works and saved by grace. Here are some key takeaways from the message.

- God's Word is our source of truth.
- God's Word is powerful. It has the ability to expose and judge thoughts and intentions.
- We can trust God's Word. It is inspired by God, breathed to us for our growth and development.
- God's Word is the source of light that is of eternal value. His Word will show us our course in life.

Speaker: Pastor Cole Maxwell

We continued our new teaching series called "Learning to Listen" where we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We talked about Samuel and how he positioned himself to hear from God even before he recognized His voice because he had a deep hunger for God's presence. We learned how prayer isn't a performance or a formula; it's a practicing presence. Prayer can become something that we do on autopilot, praying the same words on repeat without much thought. Continuing to do the same things and hoping for different results. But in order to have that deeper connection with God, we need to be spiritually hungry to be close to Him. We are seeking spiritual fulfillment from worldly things that will never satisfy, we need something deeper. Below are a few key takeaways.

-No amount of studying or learning about prayer will make you into a person of prayer until you choose to find and walk through the front door.
-Hunger for God is the only thing that allows us to hear his voice.
-Hunger for God trumps perfection every time.

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We started a new teaching series called "Learning To Listen" in which we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We typically struggle to hear God for reasons like, our life is too noisy, our schedules are too busy, we aren’t paying attention, and we don’t know what His voice sounds like. For many people sadly believe that God’s voice brings shame, condemnation, and fear. But the truth is, the voice of God is patient, kind, humble, others centric, and gracious. The voice of God is powerfully, purposefully, and piercing. The voice of God brings life. We will continue to explore how God will speak to us (if we listen) through prayer, scripture, people, and circumstance/surroundings. Below are a few take aways from the message.

-God speaks to us not so much to give information but to create intimacy.

-If you don’t turn down the noise of this world, you will never truly know God.

-Communication is all about connection.

Remember that God likes to speak in a whisper so we will get close to Him. So continue to look for God, lean-in to listen, and live it out with love.

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We wrapped up our teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored the story from Joshua chapter 4 when God stopped the water of the Jordan river so His people could pass into the promised land and how he commanded them to make plans to remember. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Forgetfulness will inevitably lead to unfaithfulness.
-We shouldn’t look to the past to live in it but rather to learn from it.
-The unimaginable is possible when we trust God.
-God will always make a way.
-The best way to remember your rescue is by living a life of righteousness (right relationship with God).

We hope that you take some time to remember God, His goodness, and the moments when He showed up for you!

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We are continuing our summer teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored the 1 King 18, where the prophet Elijah has an epic showdown with some false prophets of a false god. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Empty promises will produce empty people.
-Nothing is impossible for God.
-No other God’s can stand a chance against our God.
-The allure of an idol will never be satisfying like our savior Jesus.
-False God’s only give empty promises, but the true God fulfilled the greatest promise through an empty tomb.

We hope that you reject the things that distract and divert from focus on Jesus and that you cling to Him and Him alone!

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We are in our new summer teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored the life of Samson and how even though he was called to be set up part (holy) he was led by desires which lead to chaos in his life. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-God’s anointing was always about purpose not perfection.
-Disordered desires are a dangerous driver because many desires tend to direct us to destruction more often than deliverance.
-Sometimes losing everything is the only way to see everything.
-God’s purposes can be accomplished through people regardless of their flaws, failures, and unfaithfulness.
-Strengths not surrendered to The Spirit will sabotage you, not save you.
-Redemption is possible for anyone.

We hope you lean into the Spirit of God who will help order your desires to lead to Christ, rather than chaos!

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We continued our new summer teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored the life of Jacob and how through his wrestling with God learned about humility and intimacy with God. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Desires will promise us deliverance but often lead us toward destruction.
-Blessing is not a thing we earn, it is something we embrace.
-Grace is something we can only encounter when we get close to God.
-If we miss Jesus, we miss everything.

Going forward, make time to seek intimacy with Jesus. Remember, faithfulness >fame. Abiding > Accomplishments. Surrender > Success. 

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We kicked off our new summer teaching series called "Campfire Stories" in which we are exploring stories in the Old Testament and what we as followers of Jesus can learn from both the people involved and God. We can learn from any story and anyone. We can learn something from everyone, how to be like them or how to be different from them. And every story points to Jesus and the need for Jesus. We explored how The Bible does not hide "hero's" horrible moments by looking at the story in Genesis 16 in which Abraham and his wife Sarah try to take a short-cut to get to a promise made and how it left a woman named Hagar in a bad place but how God showed up to meet her. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Short-cuts often sidetrack us.
-You don’t sin in isolation.
-God sees you, no matter who you are, what you have done, or what has been done to you….and He still loves you.
-Trust in God’s Timing.
-No matter what has happened to you, God will rescue you.
-Even when all hope is lost, Jesus will be there.

We hope and pray you trust in God and His process. Know is He has made a promise, He will come through, just hold on and wait!

Speaker: Pastor Jerry Ausbrook

We had the joy of hearing from Pastor Jerry Ausbrook as we opened God's Word to unpack what it means and what it looks like to Abide in Jesus. Below are some key take aways from the message.

-Abiding in Christ (the True Vine) brings us a new life that cannot be generated or produced on our own. It’s a continuation of the resurrection power within us.
-This is the source that reaches the hearts of those around us and eventually will bring them to new life in Christ.
-Gratitude helps us stay connected to Christ; prayer keeps us connected to the life-giving source in Christ Jesus. It gives us what we don’t have on our own.
-Some of the healthiest plants that are bearing fruit had seeds that germinated in dark places.

We hope and pray you continue to connect to the True Vine and that you will grow to look more like Him!

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We wrapped our teaching series called "Joy-Full" in which we have been walking through the New Testament book of Philippians in which Paul writes to a church to encourage them to be joyful regardless of their circumstances as he is in a Roman prison. We focused on how we choose a defiant joy, meaning a joy that doesn't just play defense, but it goes on the offensive because defiant joy is what a hopeless world needs. Below you will find some of the key take away from the message in which we unpacked chapter four.

-You cannot be content until you surrender to Jesus.
-What you consume will either bring you joy or steal your joy.
-The antidote to an anxious heart is an abiding spirit.
-If you want to be full of joy, take care of your conflicts.

So, remember this week to pursue this time of joy. Try to practice the five keys we said would lead to defiant joy in your life.

1. Pray about everything.

2. Thank God for Everything.

3. Only consume that which helps you be with Jesus or become like Jesus.

4. Forgive people in the same what Christ has forgiven you.

5. Daily Surrender to Jesus.

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We continued our teaching series called "Joy-Full" in which we are walking through the New Testament book of Philippians in which Paul writes to a church to encourage them to be joyful (he uses the words joy or rejoice 16 times) regardless of their circumstances as he is in a Roman prison. We focused on how growing in our joy is a daily choice that we experience by not merely chasing our desires but by keeping our eyes on Jesus. Below you will find some of the key take away from the message in which we unpacked chapter three.

-Live with eternity in mind and you will have joy.
-Faith comes from following Jesus one step at a time.
-Don’t trade momentary happiness for eternal joy. Don't allow the temptation of the immediacy to sabotage gift of eternity.
-Maturity as a follower of Jesus is actually living out what you know.
-Joy chooses to keep moving forward.
-Status cannot solve your salvation problem.

Remember that accomplishments were never meant to be our identity. Accomplishments will bring short-term happiness. but remember abiding in Jesus will bring eternal joy.

Eternal Joy > Short-Term Happiness

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We continued our new teaching series called "Joy-Full" in which we are walking through the New Testament book of Philippians in which Paul writes to a church to encourage them to be joyful (he uses the words joy or rejoice 16 times) regardless of their circumstances as he is in a Roman prison. We focused on how humility and unity can be important ingredients in living a joyful life. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will unite people like nothing else will. Below you will find some of the key take away from the message in which we unpacked chapter two.

-Our unity is not about uniformity but Christlikeness.
-Unity with Christ is the only way to have unity with others.
-Our attitudes reflect our true allegiance.
-The outcome of obedience to Christ is overflowing joy.
-What we have in common (Jesus) is more powerful than what makes us different.
-The way to higher joy is lowering oneself.

The world says joy is about indulging in all your desires, Jesus shows us joy comes from humility. I hope this week you choose joy by choosing Jesus. And remember any journey with Jesus will provide you with joy, no matter the circumstances. Trust Him.

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We began a new teaching series called "Joy-Full" in which we are walking through the New Testament book of Philippians in which Paul writes to a church to encourage them to be joyful (he uses the words joy or rejoice 16 times) regardless of their circumstances as he is in a Roman prison. The Bible points us to this reality that joy comes from our hope and our hope comes from Jesus. Below you will find some of the key take away from the message in which we unpacked chapter one.

-Obstacles should not rob you of joy nor should it redirect your obedience.
-Your faithfulness can encourage the faithfulness of others, especially in challenging times.
-You will never feel full of joy until you have decided to be full of faith.
-Jesus was a man of sorrows so we could be people of joy.

I hope you choose joy by choosing Jesus. And remember any journey with Jesus will provide you with joy, no matter the circumstances. Trust Him.

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

During our teaching time we unpacked the idea that there are three people we often encounter: saints, skeptics, and sinners. Below you will find out about who they are, what the need, and what their invitation is from an empty tomb.

Saints
-They think they can do enough to earn their salvation.
-Saints need a renewed mind.
-The invitation of an empty tomb is that Jesus’ work is enough.
-Jesus is the only way.

Skeptics
-They aren’t sure they need a savior or that there is a God, or that God is good.
-Skeptics need a heart changing encounter with Jesus.
-The invitation of an empty tomb is that Jesus is The Truth, and you can try Him and test Him.
-Jesus is the Truth.

Sinners
-They aren’t sure they are worth of forgiveness or could really change.
-Sinners need the courage to turn towards a gracious God.
-The invitation of an empty tomb is forgiveness.
-Jesus is the way to life.

The invitation to all is go home and be with your Father. Jesus is our way home. Home is not places, it is love. It is Jesus. It is all possible because He lives. The invitation of an empty tomb is new life but remember, new life is only possible by laying down your old one.
