You were created for joy! Joy isn't limited by circumstances, seasons, status, or possessions – it's freely given and found in the presence of God. In this message, Justin Lanham encourages us to lean into a lifestyle of enjoying God and the life He's giving us.

Revelation 12:11 says that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. In this experience, we walk this out by receiving communion together and hearing stories of hope from several people to build our faith. What story is God writing in your life right now?

The fire of God is near to us. The only question is, "Do we want it?" In this message, Pastor John Stickl invites us to decide whether we want to keep the fire burning.

Surely the Lord is in this place. The question is, do you want Him? In this experience, we worshipped together and celebrated moms and grads!

Are you a good host? To let the fire burn within us, we're invited to rearrange and prepare our lives so God can move. In this message, Pastor John Stickl shares how waiting on the Holy Spirit allows His fire to transform us from the inside out.

When was the last time you thought of yourself as a sacred space? Do you realize that you were created to be a dwelling place for the God of the universe? He has chosen you to host His fire (His presence), and He has sent the Holy Spirit to fill each of us to overflowing with His character and power. In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we continue to learn what it means to keep the fire burning in our lives by preparing ourselves as a place for the Holy Spirit to rest.

You were created to be filled with the Spirit of God. Most of us have heard of or experienced water baptism before, but did you know there are actually four kinds of baptism found in Scripture? We're all invited to be baptized into Christ, water, the Holy Spirit, and love. In this message, Pastor John Stickl walks through each of these baptisms and shows us that fueling the fire is all about being baptized in the Spirit – an initial experience that leads to an ongoing life in the character and power of Jesus.

In the kingdom of God, fire starts with water. We may not understand how it's possible, but Jesus is both the living water and the consuming fire. In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we celebrate baptisms and explore how we can live out Acts 2 and set the environment for God's fire to fall.

There's something about Easter where we ask all sorts of questions like who we are, who God is, and what we were created to do. There's a longing and yearning for something more within each of us. What if the answers that we're looking for, that are from deep within our souls, were spoken from the cross? Though Jesus didn't say much in His final moments, what He did say changes everything for our future. In our Easter experience, Pastor John Stickl walks through the 7 statements of the cross and shares how Jesus' final words can become the first words for the rest of our life.

The normal response to an experience with the resurrected Jesus is to tell people. This is especially true at Easter. In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we see the pattern in Scripture: Jesus appears to us, He sets our hearts on fire, we go on mission to tell the world about who He is and what He's done for us.
