Peak Experiences: Part 2 /// Heading to the Cross
Mar 2900:49:22Tap to summarizeThis message explores the weight of our daily choices versus major DECISIONS that define our lives and eternity. We unpack the historical and spiritual significance of Jerusalem’s mountains, from Abraham's trial on Mt. Moriah to Jesus’ agonizing prayer in Gethsemane. We see Jesus on trial before Pilate and His sacrifice at Golgotha, and how Jesus chose to absorb the debt of human brokenness. Finally, we see that the torn curtain of the temple signifies a God who is now fully accessible to everyone through faith in Jesus. Join us as we anticipate the celebration of Easter, but first have to confront the cross. Speaker: Greg Holder

Mar 800:40:50Tap to summarizeIn Matthew 15 we see Jesus healing and miraculously feeding people. We explore the honest, difficult questions about why some miracles happen while other prayers seem to go unanswered.

We explore how to move from simple requests to a deep, trusting relationship with God, even when facing the pain of seemingly unanswered prayers. We see in Matthew 7 that we are called to never stop pursuing God’s heart. Learn practical tools like "breath prayers" and daily rhythms to help you overcome anxiety and self-reliance. Join us as we uncover how a loving Heavenly Father provides good gifts and remains present with us in every season of life. Speaker: Angela Beise
Transcribe →Peak Experiences: Part 2 /// Seek First
Feb 2200:47:08Tap to summarizeThe Sermon on the Mount contains some of Jesus' most famous teachings. We explore what Jesus says about trust, hope, and anxiety. We learn why Jesus commands us to "not be anxious" and how to trust in a Heavenly Father who cares deeply for us. Together, we dive deep into the "rocking chair" of worry, addressing the unique mental health challenges faced by kids and adults alike in our hyper-connected world. By shifting our focus from perfectionism and control to seeking God’s kingdom first, we can find a peace that transcends all understanding. Join us to learn practical, spiritual ways to give your anxieties to Him and rest in the security of God’s sovereign care. Speaker: Greg Holder

Feb 1500:49:37Tap to summarizeTemptation is part of life. But how do we navigate it well? Join us as we explore a story where Jesus is led into the wilderness to face temptation, testing, and spiritual warfare—and what happens there speaks directly to our everyday struggles. Together, we'll see how temptation is personal, persistent, and often subtle, but never beyond the power of God’s truth and presence. We'll see that Jesus understands our weakness, meets us in our doubt, and shows us a better way through trust and surrender. Learn how to recognize the "bait", resist the lies, and turn toward real freedom. Speaker: Greg Holder
