Speaker: Alex Grahmann
As we gather a spiritual support team for 2025, it may be exciting to think of all of the ways we can encourage and challenge each other. However, we may quickly recognize that our efforts to help others are limited â we’re busy, weâre weak, and we donât know any more answers than anyone else. Before those moments come, it is important to recognize that our true benefit to others comes from a deep faith in God. As we close out the first message series of the new year, weâll see how the faith of an unexpected biblical character amazes even Jesus, and learn the power of fully trusting God to make us a powerful part of his team.

Series: Finding Home in the Unknown
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
Have you ever had the feeling that youâre a stranger living in a strange land? Have you ever felt like you’re not quite at home in today’s culture? These feelings can be small annoyances, but they can also lead to major worry and anxiety as we seek to live in a world that can seem hostile or uncaring. During this 5-week series, weâll explore a period of biblical history in which Godâs people were conquered, removed from their homeland, and forced to live in exile, under the thumb of foreign rulers. They experienced, first-hand, what it meant to wrestle against their surroundings, yet still feel and share Godâs love and hope. Though every feeling of exile is challenging, weâll learn how itâs also an opportunity for followers of God to embrace their true connection to him and grow the ability to see themselves as citizens of Godâs Kingdom

Series: Get Wise
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
We are people who like to be prepared and in control. In fact, thereâs almost nothing that will interrupt our lives as much as situations that turn out to be different than our expectations. How, then, do we process Godâs directions that might look different than our life plan? How can we navigate the moment when Godâs instructions shake up our expectations?  This Sunday weâll learn from the story of an ancient warrior in the Bible who overcame his own self-protective instincts to let God completely transform his life.

Speaker: Alex Grahmann
When it comes to leadership, they say itâs âlonely at the top.â But the truth is, it can be lonely as we grow in leadership at any stage.

Series: Hear The Call
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
What does it mean to be âcalledâ by God? We sometimes have this image in our minds that people who are called by God have a heroic certainty about their calling, make big decisions all by themselves… and are impervious to big mistakes. But the stories of the Bible give us a different picture. As begin our three-week series in the Old Testament book of Judges, weâll look at one of the most celebrated female leaders in the Bible â Deborah. Through her story, weâll see how God brings us not only his presence in all the details of our lives, but also the people we need so we donât have to face lifeâs battle alone.

Series: In The Beginning
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
Noah’s Ark is a story we often think we know well, but beneath the familiar children’s storybook surface lies a profound message about sin, judgment, and God’s love. This tale isn’t just about animals on a boat; it’s about understanding the seriousness of sin and the hope of rescue through God’s love. Noah’s obedience and faith led to salvation for him and his family, illustrating that God always provides a way out of our brokenness. This story reminds us that God offers a fresh start and calls us to live connected to Him, embracing His guidance and promises.

Worship is a regular part of every one of our Sunday services, but what is it, really? Is worship only the 15 minutes of singing we do at church? Or is there something bigger, something more vital that can happen in our relationship with God if we worship him in every part of our lives? This Sunday weâll begin a 3-week series of messages, helping us unlock the true power of worshiping with all our heart.Â

Series: Right Side Up
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
Sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking that if what happens in our lives doesnât get recognition, doesnât get likes, doesnât get peopleâs attention, then it isnât valuable.

Series: Backstory III
Speaker: Alex Grahmann
In our culture, itâs easy to think that the issues weâre the most passionate about or against are the most important issues.

How do we take the necessary steps to center our lives more on God? This week weâll talk through a famous story from the Old Testament of the prophet Elijah, and learn the value in letting God alone have the most important place in our hearts.
