First Love: Beholding (Wilderness) Love | Pastor Danny | Sep 20, 2026
After God saved his people from slavery in Egypt, after all his miracles and mighty works, in Exodus 16 they found themselves lost in the wilderness, hungry, doubting God's intentions, grumbling and complaining and afraid. How did God respond? He listened. He heard. And he rained down bread from heaven to meet their need. What are we worrying about? What will we see God do, if we listen and look?
First Love: Beholding (Liberating) Love | Pastor Danny | Sep 13, 2026
In Exodus 12 we find a God who is radically committed to his people. He protects them and invites them into a new future. How do we become people who mark our lives and shape our households to be recipients of his love? How should we receive the love of God, allowing it to save us and entrusting our lives to it? We must begin by beholding and receiving God's word and presence in our lives. We are called to listen closely, to understand deeply, and to respond with action and obedience.
Beholding Love | Pastor Jake | Sep 6, 2026
In Exodus 12 we find a God who is radically committed to his people. He protects them and invites them into a new future. How do we become people who mark our lives and shape our households to be recipients of his love? How should we receive the love of God, allowing it to save us and entrusting our lives to it? We must begin by beholding and receiving God's word and presence in our lives. We are called to listen closely, to understand deeply, and to respond with action and obedience.
First Love: God is (Holy) Love | Pastor Robert | Aug 30, 2026
Dive into the famous Exodus 3 story with us and take a close look at how Moses experienced God’s holiness and what the story of the burning bush reveals about God’s love. To be holy, to let God burn away our sin, is for us to become perfect in love. Love is a purifying fire that removes all that impedes its purpose. Where do we need to be burned?
First Love: God is (Promised) Love | Pastor Jake | Aug 23, 2026
The Love of God is not just a feeling, but a promise, and a promise of concrete action. God will rebuild the broken places. Love does, and scripture reminds us that from beginning to end God is doing something to help the creation. What is God doing for us as an expression of his love? When we say we love God, are we doing anything about that? What about in our love for people?
First Love: God is (Undeserved) Love | Pastor Robert | Aug 16, 2026
Joseph tells his brothers, those who killed him, that his actions and position in Egypt have been made possible by God. Thus, Joseph's life - one of death and resurrection - is a symbol and sign of God's love for the world. God is a God who loves and purposes good even for those who are violent, angry, and double-minded. The picture of Joseph throwing his arms around his brothers is a foreshadowing of Luke 15, when the Father throws his arms around the son who had rejected him. Ultimately, Jospeh points to Jesus, who forgives his brothers, the disciples, even after they left him for dead. We all struggle to receive this kind of love! It is very hard for us to find ourselves lovable, just like the brothers of Joseph are afraid of him when they see him (v.3). Can we become people who, like Benjamin, race forward to claim and receive the love of God, and thus show others that the love of God is available to them too?
God is Gentle Love | Pastor Jake | Aug 9, 2026
Worship services from Aug 9, 2026 with a message from Pastor Jake on 1 Kings 19:9-18. The love of God is gentle, like the whisper of a friend, speaking to us in our times of greatest need. One of the things that Jesus called himself was lowly and gentle, and we see this foreshadowed in God visiting Elijah in the quietness and not in the fire and wind. How do we become people who let the gentle voice of love speak to us every day?

Navigating Change: Love from Lowliness | Pastor Danny | July 26, 2026
In Sunday’s message from our Navigating Change series, looking at Romans 8:26-39, we learn how lowliness is where we begin to truly experience God’s ministry in our hearts. “If God is for us, who can be against us? Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?”
Navigating Change: Identity from Loss | Pastor Danny | July 19, 2026
Reading from Romans 8:12-25 we'll explore how God teaches us about who we really are in Christ through the pain of a broken world around us
Navigating Change: Wisdom from Pain | Pastor Danny | July 5, 2026
Navigating Change: Life from Death | Pastor Danny | June 28, 2026
Pastor Danny’s message on Life From Death digs into Genesis 22:1-4 and Romans 8:31-35. Many ancient religions expected worshippers to sacrifice their children as a way to earn a god's favor or turn away punishment. But our God had the opposite plan all along - giving his own son to clean up our sins, proving once and for all that God's love is enough for us. Death and life are at the heart of the gospel. We give up our own life-control to learn that God is in control, and his goodness is everything we need. That’s what gives us courage for necessary change in our lives, even when it is frightening!

What can we learn from Jesus and Peter in John 21?
The Call-Up | Pastor Faby | June 7, 2026
Click below to replay last week's worship service, with a message from Pastor Faby on what it means to be called up for service by Jesus. It's tempting to think "I can't do this" or "This is too much" but with Christ we can trust that if he asks us to step up and do something, he'll give us the strength and the tools we need to do it. It's not all on us!
Boundary-Breaking Mission | Pastor Robert | May 31, 2026
Acts 10 isn't just ancient history — it's a challenge for today. God told Peter to stop calling 'unclean' what God had already made clean, and the same Spirit is already at work in the people around us we've never even met. The question isn't whether God is moving in Silicon Valley — it's whether we're willing to cross the wall and find out where.
