Family is one of God's greatest gifts — until sin goes unchecked. In week two of our Family series, we trace the painful unraveling of one household in Scripture to uncover what happens when tolerated sin and neglected righteousness are left to grow. But even in the most broken families, grace has the final word.

Family is beautiful — and we're pretty confused about what it's for. In this opening message of our new series, Family, we open Genesis to rediscover what God actually designed family to be: companionship, partnership, celebration, and a bond that holds fast. Wherever your own family story has been messy, this is an invitation to see something good, worth wanting, and worth pursuing.

We were made for praise — not just as a feeling, but as a full-bodied response to who God is and what he's done. We close out Summer Playlist, our journey through the Psalms, in the loudest, fullest song in the whole book: Psalm 150. Every instrument, every voice, every breath — all of it, made for this. Wherever you land on exuberant worship, this is an invitation to want it — together, in view of his mercy.

What happens when we finally get honest about how short our days are? In this sermon, we open Psalm 90 — a prayer that doesn't rush past our fragility or our sin, but leads us straight through them into the steadfast love of God. It's not the most comfortable song in the hymnal, but it might be the wisest.

Are there times when it feels like God might be good, but he's not good to you? Asaph was one of the main worship leaders in Jerusalem during David's reign, and he felt like there was a gap between God's goodness and his experience. Psalm 73 is Asaph's account of what changed the weather in his soul—he went into the sanctuary.

The day after America's 250th birthday, we turn to Psalm 72 to ask a bigger question: what would it look like to live under a truly perfect King? This message traces the ache behind every patriotic song to the one Kingdom that can actually satisfy it — pointing us away from cynicism and idolatry, and toward prayer, worship, and allegiance to Jesus, the King every earthly kingdom was pointing to all along.

Weakness is hard to admit — especially when the world around you runs on credentials and performance. But Psalm 41 doesn't let us hide. It invites us into honest, even ugly prayer, and walks us from lament all the way to victory.In this week's sermon, we dig into what it means to lay hold of God's goodness when you're at your weakest — whether that's poverty, sickness, betrayal, or being quietly pushed to the margins. God's goodness isn't for people who have it together. It's for the weak. And it leads somewhere real.

Psalm 1 opens the entire Book of Psalms with a stark picture: two paths, two people, two very different outcomes — and the only thing separating them is who they listen to. In this sermon, we dig into the ancient songs of Scripture and find that they are not just expressions of devotion, but expressions of reality. One life is rooted like a tree by living water — fruitful, steady, unshaken. The other is like chaff — weightless, directionless, carried wherever the wind blows. The question isn’t which life looks better. The question is: where are your roots?

We close out our 1 Timothy series with one of Paul’s most searching charges: take hold of the eternal life to which you were called. It’s not enough to just have it — we’re invited to immerse ourselves in it. In this message from 1 Timothy 6, we unpack what that looks like through three movements: fleeing the lie that the wealthy life is the good life, fixing our eyes on the return of Christ, and abiding in the grace of God here and now.

Is genuine Christian community actually possible — or is it just a beautiful idea that always falls apart? In this sermon, we dive into 1 Timothy 5 — a passage that gets specific about the areas where honor is hardest: caring for the vulnerable, honoring those who lead, and bringing that same posture into the workplace. This one is practical, a little uncomfortable, and full of grace.
