Ryan closes our series The Ever-Present God with a message about why the Christmas story matters, and how our God is present with us – always.

God is present in the valleys, the wilderness … and the storms. Ryan continues our series The Ever-Present God, based on Matthew 1:23.

From 1 Kings 19, Ryan shares the story of Elijah’s flight from Ahab and Jezebel and into the wilderness, where he asked God to take his life: he had just Had Enough. Have you ever felt this way?

“Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,” which means “God with us." – Matthew 1:23 (NET) This Advent season, join us as we explore the meaning of Jesus’ name, God with us, and celebrate a God who is ever-present – even in our darkest valleys.

Alison continues our series The Life and Way of Jesus with a fresh take on the familiar story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 – the only miracle, other than the Resurrection, to be recorded in all 4 gospels.

To some Jesus is a stumbling stone; to others, He is the Cornerstone. Today Bryan Cobley continues our series The Life and Way of Jesus with a message from Mark 6 and asks the simple question: are you trusting Jesus?

So many people wanted to get baptized this week that we pressed Pause on our series in Mark. Instead, Pastor Ryan answers the question of what baptism is, and why believers of Jesus practice it. Inside, a deep dive (pun intended) into the history of God’s restoration and rescue through water.

Today, the story of two incredible, and parallel, healings, and one question: if this Jesus is who He says He is, how then should I respond?

This week, a story that couldn’t be better timed for Halloween, featuring a graveyard, chains, blood, a legion of demons, and a man who proves that absolutely no one is beyond Jesus’ redeeming power.

The story of Jesus calming the storm is often thought of as a metaphor for the way He can calm storms in our lives. But, like a Magic Eye image, the details tell second story, too, bigger than the first. Ryan explains in today’s message on Mark 4.
