    Series: True Value

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    What if the way you handle your finances could make it easier for others to experience God? While culture often pushes us to focus on getting ahead, God calls us to help others move forward, especially toward Him. This week, weā€™ll explore one of the most striking moments in Jesusā€™ ministryā€”when He overturned tables to clear the temple of money-changers. Through this powerful story, weā€™ll be challenged to choose generosity and purpose over personal gain and discover how we can remove obstacles to create clear pathways for others to encounter Jesus.

    Series: True Value

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    How does your faith influence the way you handle money? As we kick off our new series, True Value, weā€™ll dive into a conversation between Jesus and a rich young ruler. In this powerful exchange, Jesus challenges us to move from a mindset of clinging to what we have to trusting God and letting go. Together, weā€™ll reflect on what might be competing with our faith and discover practical steps toward trusting God more with our finances.

    Jesus taught about the idea of the Kingdom of God, but on one special day, he gave three of his disciples an in-person demonstration of what his true power in that Kingdom was like!

    Series: It's A Miracle

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Have you ever wondered if God cares about more than just your religious life? When we read about the life of Jesus, we discover that he has a deep concern for our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. This concern is seen so clearly in his miraculous and holistic care of people. In this first week of our three-week series called Itā€™s a Miracle! We’ll explore Jesusā€™ desire to heal every part of our lives. And invite him to meet us in practical and unexpected ways.

    Series: Assemble

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    What kind of people would help us the most as we commit to growing spiritually in 2025? Who would be the perfect members of a spiritual growth team, and how to we find those people? In this second week of our 4-part series, weā€™ll look closely at the qualities Jesus was looking for as he assembled his first disciples and learn how we can build the best team for our own spiritual journey.

    Series: Assemble

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Pursuing God cannot be a journey we take on our own. For as much as weā€™d like to fly solo, none of the personal and spiritual growth goals we may have for 2025 will be reached without the support, challenge, and encouragement of other people. But who should be on our support team? What does it look like to assemble the spiritual friends and family weā€™ll need to focus on God and get closer to him this year? In this first week of our 4-week series, weā€™ll see that Jesus started his own team-building journey by making sure he was rooted in a relationship with God. Weā€™ll follow his lead and set some God-focused goals together to launch into a vibrant new year!

    Ever feel anxious about the unknown? The story of 12-year-old Jesus getting ā€˜lostā€™ at the temple is surprisingly relatable. His actions show us how to navigate uncertainty with confidence, trust, and a sense of purpose. Itā€™s a powerful reminder that even in lifeā€™s most confusing moments, thereā€™s a way to grow and find peace.

    Series: The Coming Dawn

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Series: The Coming Dawn

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    What should we do when we see injustice all around us? This is the question asked by the ancient prophet Malachi. He saw his country worn down immoral leadership, financial recklessness, and abuse of power. God answered him with the promise of a brighter future. This week, weā€™ll explore Godā€™s promise of a coming ā€œSun of Righteousnessā€ and look at what we can do to be part of the solution to the problems we see.

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    One minute, the things of life are falling into place and youā€™re gaining momentum. The next, a curveball comes your way that forces you to rethink your whole life plan. Where is God in those moments of unexpected complication? How does he respond to the breakdowns and pitfalls of our lives? Can God use us, even when weā€™re facing situations and challenges, we didnā€™t plan for? This week weā€™ll read the inspiration story of Esther from the Bible and learn that God isnā€™t held back by our unexpected challenges; instead, he wants to use you exactly where you are today.

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    We often incorrectly assume that when we face challenging situations, it must be a sign that God is distant. The truth we learn in the Bible is just the opposite: God never leaves us, and we can often feel his presence the most when weā€™re in the midst of our greatest challenges. This week weā€™ll read the famous Bible story of 3 friends who faced an extreme risk, but as they faced it together, got to experience God in miraculous and powerful way.

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    In a world where disagreement is common, it can be easy to use our morals and values as a tool to insulate ourselves from others. Godā€™s plan for his people is quite the opposite: his desire is that by living out his values, weā€™d be able to share his love and comfort with everyone. This week weā€™ll see how an ancient young prophet from the Old Testament, Daniel, went from being a scholar in captivity to a blessing to an entire nation because he lived and shared Godā€™s values.

    Series: Get Wise

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    How quickly do you respond to good advice? In this final week of our GET WISE series, weā€™ll look at the story of King Josiah – a sixteen-year-old who had a heart for God and a quick response to wisdom. Weā€™ll see how he prioritized God in his life and how we can do the same.

    Series: Get Wise

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Making decisions is challenging! And the bigger the decision, the more pressure! How can we learn to grow in our decision-making ability? This week, we begin a new series of messages called Get Wise. Weā€™ll be looking at three leaders in ancient Israel who responded to advice in very different ways and the impact they had. And weā€™ll start this Sunday with the story of King Rehoboam. Weā€™ll see how his rejection of wisdom brough division and how we can welcome wisdom in ways that bring unity!

    Series: Learn to Lead

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    The are many dangers that can tank our leadership: bad decisions, pride, over-extension, even bad luck.Ā Ā But what if the greatest danger to our leadership was something completely avoidable?Ā Ā What if it’s the comfort and idleness that our growing leadership brings that could be our greatest undoing?Ā Ā This week weā€™ll explore a famous biblical leaderā€™s fall from grace, what seemingly-insignificant problem caused his fall, and how God eventually restored him.Ā Ā Weā€™ll find out that God can help protect us from that same danger, and offers us that same forgiveness.

    Series: Learn to Lead

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Climbing the ladder of leadership and success is exhausting. And weā€™ve all heard the horror stories about the stress and fickle rewards that wait for us, even if we reach the top. So, what if there was a different path to becoming a person of powerful influence ā€“ a path that didnā€™t come at the cost of our families, our standards, and our own sense of wholeness? As we kick off this new fall season, weā€™ll start by exploring the story of how one of the most famous people in the Bible, King David, was called into leadership by God. Weā€™ll discover Godā€™s new and refreshing perspective on how each one of us can maximize our personal impact.

    Series: Hear The Call

    Speaker: Jason Cusick

    Who is your leader? Not at work, or school, or home… but over your whole life? Who do you look to for wisdom and warnings about how to live your life? As we finish our three-week series in the Old Testament book of Judges, weā€™ll see how this dark season in Israelā€™s history ended with a movement away from God, not toward God. Weā€™ll see what their story can teach us about keeping our hearts and minds open to Godā€™s loving leadership of our lives.

    Youā€™ve hit the wall. Youā€™re out of energy. The obstacle is too big to overcome. Maybe itā€™s a work, in a relationship, a health crisis, or in your relationship with God. What do you do when you are facing a battle that is too big for you to fight? In our last message of our series, The Great Rescue, weā€™ll look at the story of the Battle of Jericho, and unlikely military victory that can remind us of the unusual plans and partnerships that get us through the everyday battles of our lives.
