Let’s Talk About it – How Can We Help the Next Generation? - Week 3

In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon unpacks Psalm 78:1–8 and shows why every generation plays a crucial role in passing on faith to the next. We dive into why younger generations are often misunderstood, how spiritual apathy creeps into our lives, and what we can do to model a faith worth following.


You’ll hear real stories of what God is doing through Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the impact of FCA and Hope City Youth, and an interview with Pastor Meagan about raising faith-filled kids.


No matter your age or stage, YOU have influence—and the next generation needs it. Let’s be a church that fights apathy, builds legacy, and chooses to be FOR the Next Generation.

Let's Talk About It: What God Can Do With What You Bring - Week 3

So many of us wonder if our lives really make a difference. We compare ourselves, we battle perfectionism, and we convince ourselves that what we have isn’t enough for God to use. But in John 6, Jesus shows us something powerful: He multiplies whatever we surrender. 

 

In this message, Pastor Peter unpacks the story of the boy with the five loaves and two fish—and teaches us how God can do extraordinary things with the ordinary things we place in His hands. 

 

You’ll also hear stories from our Heart for the House season and celebrate 10 baptisms—real lives changed because of the faithfulness and generosity of our church family. 

 

If you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your impact, or whether God can use what you bring… this message is for you.

Let’s Talk About It: The Truth About Baptism, Sin, and Spirituality - Week 2

Real talk about three big questions: What is baptism, and do I need it to be saved? How should Christians think about “ranking” sins? And is every spiritual thing actually from the Spirit of God? In this message, we unpack saving grace (Eph 2:8–9), believers’ baptism (Rom 6:4; Matt 28:19–20), humility over hierarchy, and how to test “spirituality” (1 John 4:1; 2 Cor 11:14–15).

Let’s Talk About It: Why Worship Isn’t About You (And Never Was) - Week 1

In this message, “Let’s Talk About It: Why Worship Isn’t About You (And Never Was)”, we unpack why worship is anchored in who God is and what He has done—not our preferences or moods. Psalm 100 calls us to enter with thanksgiving and praise because the Lord is good and faithful.


We explore the difference between vertical (to God) and horizontal (about God) worship, and why both form us as disciples. Worship isn’t a playlist—it’s a posture that magnifies Jesus above self.

James: Real Faith Real Life - Money, Patience, and Prayer: Where Real Faith Shows Up - Week 5

What does real faith look like when money is tight, the wait is long, and heaven feels silent? In James 5 we see three proving grounds of faith—money, patience, and prayer. Pastor Brandon unpacks why money makes a terrible master but a powerful servant (Jas 5:1–6), how waiting forms us (Jas 5:7–12), and why prayer must be our first response, not last resort (Jas 5:13–20).
