"Advocating for Others" by Steven Owsley

"Advocating for Others" by Steven Owsley

Today’s Message: Advocating for Others

Looking to strengthen your spiritual life? Join us for an inspiring sermon by our interim worship leader, Steven, on making a habit of praying for others. Drawing from Luke 22, where Jesus prays for Peter’s faith to not fail, Steven will challenge us to be mindful of those around us and pray for their well-being. Don’t miss out on this powerful message of compassion and faith.


Series: The Force of Habit

It’s vital in faith to break out of your routines and to follow God into something bigger. But it’s also true that God speaks to us through the rhythms of our everyday life and practice. On our way to Easter, we’re going to encounter different everyday practices that can enrich our spiritual lives.

Does God Need My Belief?

Does God Need My Belief?

This Week: Does God Need My Belief?

Sometimes churches can give off the notion that your knowledge and beliefs are the most important part of your identity. We spend a lot of time worried about whether everyone believes the same thing and whether we can tolerate others who don’t. The opening of the Gospel of John, however, portrays God as accepting and persistent despite the unbelief of God’s creation. Undeterred by unbelief, God continues to love and invite people to trust and to fully live. In light of what we know about the beauty and limitations of our brains, this week we discuss finding acceptance in God regardless of your mental capabilities.


Series: Cosmic Christmas

In an expanding universe, what is it to proclaim God’s presence among us? In our sermon series, Cosmic Christmas, we’re taking a journey through the beginning of John’s Gospel, which begins not with a Bethlehem birth story, but with the creation of cosmos. As we journey through John’s Prologue, we’ll discuss time, space, and more as we reflect on faith in God and our place amidst our grand universe.

What Does It Cost?

What Does It Cost?

This Week: What Does It Cost?

How much do you think satisfaction costs? The prophet Isaiah writes a beautiful vision of a future where needs and desires are met without any money exchanging hands. What would it look like to be satisfied without money? Join us as we explore being satisfied no matter the size of our bank accounts.


Series: Satisfied

In a world always lusting for the next better thing, we’re taking time to reflect on what it means to be satisfied. There’s nothing wrong with longing for a better world – things should be better! Yet there is spiritual, physical, and mental benefits from learning how to be satisfied in the present moment as we work towards a world that looks more like God intended. Journey with us for this 3 week series on being satisfied.

Is There Enough?

Is There Enough?

This Week: Is There Enough?

What do you do when you're worried about if there will be enough? Is there enough food on my table? Is there enough money in my account? Is there enough time to get my tasks done? There's a temptation to turn inward when we're worried if there's enough. This week, we read the story of a prophet and a widow struggling through a famine. The prophet's advice runs contrary to our inclination, and yet it might be the thing that transforms our lives for the better.

Journey with us for this 3 week series on being satisfied.


It doesn’t have to be this way. Jesus told his followers that it wasn’t enough to love those who are easy to love. He calls us to love our enemies – and that doesn’t come naturally. Love might seem like an ineffective pipedream that can’t survive the everyday onslaught of negativity and criticism. And yet, the bridge of true love creates new paths to a better world.

This Week: What Am I Searching For?

If we ever have a chance to be satisfied, we have to first know what we’re looking for. Today, we’re reading a story about crowds who were unhappy with the way Jesus lived his life.

This Week: Is it Safe to Love?

How can we love our neighbors if we close off our hearts? Some of us close our hearts because we’ve been hurt. Others close our hearts because we’ve run out of space. This week, we’re reading from 1 Peter, where Peter encourages you to love with a tender heart, even if it risks pain. Join us as we seek how to do that everyday.

This Week: Who is My Neighbor?

Almost everyone who’s been around churches knows the story of the Good Samaritan. It’s the story of the despised neighbor who turns out to be the unexpected compassionate caregiver. And yet, we all struggle to recognize the potential goodness in some of our neighbors. Join us as we stretch out assumptions about who and how to love.

When is Freedom Dangerous?

When is Freedom Dangerous?

This Week: When is Freedom Dangerous?

Everybody wants freedom, but sometimes that freedom causes harm. The relationship between freedoms and laws can be tricky to navigate – with everyone having their own opinion on where to draw the lines. Paul wrote to churches in Galatia who were struggling with this. His advice – and his warning – is critical to loving your neighbor in a divided world.

Healing Each Other's Wounds

Healing Each Other's Wounds

This week Pastor Dallas encourages you to heal wounds you haven’t even noticed yet.

Sometimes we’re oblivious to the pains around us. We don’t see the pain we’ve caused. Maybe they’re hiding their pain or maybe we aren’t looking. Even more, sometimes we’re oblivious to our own pain. We think our life is great, but we haven’t noticed the darkness lurking underneath. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas are bleeding and imprisoned, and yet in that dark place they are able to reveal the value of life to their prison guard. Don’t miss this powerful story of what’s possible with God!

Series: Empowered

Have you ever felt powerless? Have news stories about the problems of the world disheartened you because there doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about it? Powerless is not how God describes us or created us.

Jesus told his disciples that God would give us power and then the disciples lives were forever changed. Exploring stories of power in the book of Acts, we’ll describe how God wants to empower you to be a changemaker in the world today.

When Is It Okay To Be Annoyed?

When Is It Okay To Be Annoyed?

This week Pastor Dallas encourages you to stop complaining about injustice and do something about it.

When Is It Okay to be Annoyed? (Acts 16:16-24)

Chances are there are some things wrong with this world that frustrate you. You see it, even without looking for it. Some people are working multiple jobs and still struggling to earn enough to survive on. Others suffer from addictions but can’t get help unless they break the law. In Acts 16, Paul becomes annoyed for an unusual reason – a slave girl who is being used as a fortune teller keeps celebrating Paul and Silas’ message of salvation. Finally Paul decides to act, and we should too. Join us as we seek to bring God’s freedom to those around us.
