Sermons.

What pushes us to the point of needing a hard reset? Mark 1:12-35 follows Jesus from the wilderness to a whole town at his door, then out alone to pray before dawn. Pastor Kyle Relph opens Not So Fast by naming what wears us down.

Who are you once you stop trying to build your own identity? In 1 Peter 2:4-10, Senior Pastor Mark Addis closes out Tell Me Who You Are by turning the mirror around: God tells us who he is so he can tell us who we are.

Why did Jesus say "I am the gate" for the sheep, and what does it mean to walk through him? In John 10:7-10, Senior Pastor Mark Addis shows how a first-century shepherd became the door of the fold with his own body, and why that claim is mercy rather than arrogance.

What does it mean to abide in Christ, and why does Jesus say we can do nothing without him? In John 15:1-8, Senior Pastor Mark Addis works through the last "I am" statement in John, "I am the true vine," on a Sunday when communion sits inside the message itself.

Is Jesus really the only way to God? In John 14:6, Jesus makes one of the most exclusive claims in all of Scripture, and Pastor Kyle Relph walks through what it means that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

What does it mean that Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd, and why does that title carry more authority than most people realize? In John 10, Pastor Mark Addis traces this ancient royal title from Homer's epics to the cross, and from Psalm 23 to the empty tomb. In the ancient world, "shepherd" wasn't a gentle pastoral image. It was the highest title of royal authority, the word Homer used for King Agamemnon commanding a thousand ships. When Jesus takes that title in John 10 and redefines it around a cross, He doesn't ask for loyalty the way rulers do. He lays His life down.

What did Jesus mean when he called himself the light of the world, and what does that promise actually look like in everyday life?

Lewis by examining what Scripture calls "an eternal weight of glory", and what it means for how we suffer, hope, and see the people around us. Preached by Senior Pastor Mark Addis.

What does temptation actually look like from the other side? This sermon explores C.S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters" through James 1:14-15, showing how the enemy rarely wins through dramatic sin but through the slow, unnoticed drift. Pastor Mark Addis preaches.

What keeps a soul from stepping into Heaven when the doors are wide open? In Luke 16:19-26, Jesus exposes that Hell isn't a sentence handed down by a stingy God, it's the settled destination of a life given entirely to its own will. Senior Pastor Mark Addis draws from C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce to show us what that actually looks like.

What are the essentials of Christian faith that can hold when everything around you is shaking? Drawing from C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity and Ephesians 4:1-6, Pastor Mark Addis walks through the bedrock truths that unite all believers, starting with the Moral Law, the Lordship of Christ, the danger of pride, and the transforming life that only God can give.

What's the difference between grief and mourning, and why does it matter for how we heal? Drawing from C.S. Lewis's raw and honest "A Grief Observed" and key passages from Ephesians, 1 Thessalonians, and the Psalms, this sermon walks through what it looks like to bring sorrow before God rather than be ruled by it.

What are you actually building your life on? In Luke 6, Pastor Ethan Smith unpacks the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders and asks the question Jesus asked first: why do we call Him Lord if we don't do what He says?

What happens when we hold onto grudges while accepting God's limitless forgiveness? This parable from Matthew 18:21-35 exposes how unforgiveness becomes its own prison and why grace must flow through us, not stop with us. Pastor Mark Addis reveals the radical freedom found in releasing debts we're owed.

How does something as small as a mustard seed become a tree that shelters the world? This parable reveals how God's Kingdom grows from humble beginnings into unstoppable influence. Mark 4:30-32 teaches us that in God's hands, small isn't powerless - it's full of potential.
