  You Win the Battle When You Praise | Pastor Mark Knight | August 23rd, 2026

  Aug 28, 202633 min

  What if the very act of praise was not a response to victory, but the pathway to it? Drawing from Psalm 145, the final psalm David ever wrote, we explore one of the most counterintuitive truths in the life of faith: that praise is not something we offer after God shows up, but something we offer so that we are positioned to recognize him when he does. David, a man who had seen the highest highs and lowest lows a human life can hold, did not write at the end of his life about his accomplishments or his failures. He wrote about God. Every single day, not just in moments of breakthrough, not just on Sunday mornings, but every day. We are challenged to ask ourselves an honest question: is our praise truly upward focused, or is it inward focused, a transaction we complete once our needs are met? The deeper invitation here is to move from a consumer posture in our faith to a contributor posture, where our worship flows not from what God has done for us in a given moment, but from who God is eternally. That kind of praise changes us from the inside out.

  Found | Pastor Ian O'Brien | August 16th, 2026

  Aug 19, 202643 min

  What does it truly mean to be found? In Luke 15, Jesus answers that question with three stories that cut straight to the heart of how God sees people the world has written off. We explore the famous parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, and discover that each one follows the same pattern: something is lost, someone searches, it is found, and then there is rejoicing. But these are not just feel-good stories about recovery. They are a direct challenge to the way we assign worth and value to people around us. The original audience included both self-righteous religious leaders and people society had labeled as scum, and Jesus was speaking directly to both groups at once. When we understand the honor-shame culture surrounding these parables, we realize just how radical and subversive Jesus was being. He was declaring that heaven throws a bigger party over one repentant sinner than over ninety-nine who never strayed. That is not just good news for the broken and the outcast. It is a rebuke to anyone who has ever believed their rule-following earned them a higher place in God's heart. This message invites us to examine whether we are truly in the party, or standing outside in the cold, convinced we deserve to be there more than someone else.

  Against All Odds | Pastor Jonny Williams | August 9th, 2026

  Aug 13, 202652 min

  What do you do when the odds are completely stacked against you? When the numbers do not add up, the resources are not there, and every circumstance seems to be working against you? In 2 Chronicles 14, we find King Asa facing exactly that kind of moment. His army was outnumbered nearly two to one, and the enemy had hundreds of war chariots while Judah had none worth mentioning. By every human measure, the battle was already lost before it began. Yet the outcome was total victory. The key was not military strategy or superior strength. It was a simple, desperate, honest prayer: Lord, there is no one besides you to help. This sermon invites us to examine what we are actually trusting in when life gets hard. Are we leaning on our intelligence, our finances, our position, our experience? Scripture calls that pride, and pride walks hand in hand with destruction. True victory, we discover, is not born from independence but from dependence. When we stop trusting in who we are and start trusting in whose we are, everything changes. We are beloved, chosen, and held by a God who calls into existence the very things that do not yet exist. That is the foundation on which we can face any impossible situation.

  Summer of (Rock Don't Miss the Point) | Pastor Mark Knight | July 26th, 2026

  Aug 5, 202646 min

  What does it look like when we keep missing the point, even when the truth is right in front of us? Through the life of Peter, we are invited to examine the moments in our own lives when we have stood at the edge of something transformative and still walked away confused, resistant, or proud. This discussion explores three powerful biblical encounters that reveal a pattern in Peter's journey: a tendency to show up with the right intentions but the wrong heart. From the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18, where Peter thought he was being generous with forgiveness but was still thinking in terms of scorekeeping, to the foot-washing scene in John 13, where his refusal to let Jesus serve him masked a deeper vulnerability he was unwilling to show, we begin to see how pride disguised as humility can quietly become one of the greatest obstacles to our spiritual growth. The central question that emerges is not whether we know the right answers, but whether we are willing to let those answers actually change us from the inside out. Forgiveness, humility, and surrender are not just theological concepts. They are daily choices that either open us up to God's work in our lives or quietly close the door to it.

  Summer of Rock (Keep Casting) | Pastor Mark Knight | July 19th, 2026

  Aug 5, 202645 min

  What does it look like to keep moving when life has emptied your nets and left you wondering if God is still at work? In this message drawn from John 21, we explore a pivotal moment when a group of weary disciples return to the familiar rhythms of fishing after the resurrection, only to find their efforts producing nothing. The turning point comes not from their experience or skill, but from a voice on the shore that redirects them. The miracle that follows is not just about fish. It is about the difference between doing life with God and doing life without Him. We are challenged to ask ourselves whether we have quietly excluded God from the very things He blessed us with, relying on our own competence while wondering why our results feel hollow. The message is clear: miracles happen in motion, and when we bring the presence of God into our everyday spaces, those spaces become the right place for breakthrough.
