  • COME UP HERE: A Pure Gospel & a New Name

    COME UP HERE: A Pure Gospel & a New Name
    Oct 25 2026
    It is easy to stay faithful to God when things are comfortable, but what happens when culture puts pressure on us to compromise? In week five of our Come Up Here series, guest speaker Pastor Leah Leach takes us into Revelation 2 and the letter to the ancient church in Pergamum—a city so steeped in idol worship and moral decay that Jesus called it the place "where Satan dwells."

    While the believers in Pergamum endured fierce persecution without giving up their faith, they faced a quieter, more dangerous trap: compromise. When the enemy cannot destroy the church from the outside, he tries to influence it through subtle lies, cultural shortcuts, and cheap grace. But Jesus does not leave us stuck in our stumbling blocks. He calls us to turn back to a pure Gospel, offering daily grace as our Bread of Life and handing us a white stone marked with a brand-new identity.

  • COME UP HERE: A Different Kind of Fight

    COME UP HERE: A Different Kind of Fight
    Oct 18 2026
    We often treat pain like the enemy, assuming that if life gets hard or uncomfortable, God must have left us. But in part four of our Come Up Here series, we look at Jacob’s midnight wrestling match with God at the river Jabbok to discover that God often meets us right in the middle of our struggles.

    Pain isn't always harm—sometimes God uses a painful experience to bring true healing, shift our focus, and change who we are. When Jacob wrestled through the night, he refused to let go until he received a blessing. God didn't just change Jacob's circumstances; He gave him a new identity, renaming him. An encounter with God will transform your walk from self-reliant independence to faithful dependence on Him.

  • COME UP HERE: It's Closer Than You Think

    COME UP HERE: It's Closer Than You Think
    Oct 11 2026
    It's easy to assume God only draws near when we have our lives completely figured out. But as Jacob discovered in Genesis 28, God often meets us in our messiest, hardest seasons. In part three of our Come Up Here series, we look at Jacob’s experience at Bethel to discover a life-changing truth: God is a lot closer than you think.

    Sleeping on a stone while running from his own mistakes, Jacob woke up to realize he was standing on holy ground. You don't have to search for a special path to God; through Jesus, the way is already open. He meets us right where we are—not where we pretend to be.

  • COME UP HERE: Two Dimensions

    COME UP HERE: Two Dimensions
    Oct 4 2026
    We live every day at the intersection of two dimensions: the physical world we can see, and the spiritual world where God sits. When physical problems, economic disasters, or years of suffering leave us feeling helpless and out of control, it is easy to get trapped in the crowd.

    In part two of our Come Up Here series, we look at the famous story of the woman with the issue of blood who reached out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Her journey proves that when physical answers fail, stepping out of the crowd in expectant faith connects us directly to spiritual power. Hope moves us to action, and when we bring our weakness to Jesus, His power brings healing, restores our identity, and sets us completely free.

  • COME UP HERE: The Invitation

    COME UP HERE: The Invitation
    Sep 27 2026
    What if the answer to life’s overwhelming stress isn't running or fighting, but stepping closer to God? In week one of Come Up Here, we look at Psalm 27 to see how heaven and earth collide when we seek God's presence.

    Rather than letting our needs become bigger than our need for God, David shows us how to trade anxiety for quiet confidence. When we say "yes" to God's invitation to draw near, we stop carrying our own burdens and let a loving Father lead, protect, and carry us instead.

  • (re)CONSTRUCTING OUR FAITH: 3 Warnings Jesus Gave About His Return

    (re)CONSTRUCTING OUR FAITH: 3 Warnings Jesus Gave About His Return
    Sep 20 2026
    Building a life on a soft or shaky foundation always leads to a tilt—just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In part four of our (Re)Constructing Our Faith series, we look at an essential line of the Apostles' Creed that Christians often ignore or fear: Jesus is coming back.

    The return of Christ isn't meant to scare us; it is meant to give us solid hope when the world around us feels like it is falling apart. By looking at Matthew 24 and 25, we uncover three direct warnings Jesus gave His followers about His return. Instead of being distracted by frightening headlines or getting caught up in earthly concerns, Jesus calls us to fix our eyes on Him, stay spiritually alert, and live ready for the glorious day He returns.

  • (re)CONSTRUCTING OUR FAITH: Riddles or Revelations?

    (re)CONSTRUCTING OUR FAITH: Riddles or Revelations?
    Sep 13 2026
    A faith crisis often begins in the gap between what we know to be true about God and what we actually experience in real life. When prayers go unanswered or life feels confusing, it is easy to feel like God is hiding or speaking in riddles. But the mysteries of God aren't meant to trip us up or drive us away—they are an invitation to step closer and search Him out.

    In part three of our (re)Constructing Our Faith series, we unpack one of the biggest mysteries of all: the Trinity. While the idea of one God in three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) can feel like a mind-bending puzzle, it is actually a beautiful revelation of who God is and how He relates to us. The Trinity isn't a theological trick, but a revelation of our one true God, who meets us in our weakness through the love of the Father, the grace of the Son, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • (re)CONSTRUCTING FAITH: Can I Trust the Bible?

    (re)CONSTRUCTING FAITH: Can I Trust the Bible?
    Sep 6 2026
    Ever wonder if the Bible can actually stand up to modern questions and scrutiny? The answer is a confident yes! In episode 2 of our series (re)Constructing Faith, we uncover how archaeology, history, and fulfilled prophecy all point to one single Divine Author.

    But the real challenge usually isn't whether the Bible is credible—it's whether we will let it be the final authority for our lives. Instead of picking and choosing the parts of Scripture we like, this message challenges us to let God's Word get deep inside us, guide our steps, and protect us from harm.
