Greater Than - Hebrews | Able To Sympathize - 5

Greater Than - Hebrews | Able To Sympathize | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 5

Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews in chapter 5.

Leveraging the High Priestly role introduced in chapter 4 that had begun with Aaron, the Hebrew author will encourage us to draw near to the throne of grace and receive mercy to help in time of need.

This Sunday, let’s not be dull of hearing — still needing milk — but instead, let’s intentionally grow people of all ages to a mature faith!

Greater Than - Hebrews | Rest! - 4

Greater Than | Rest! | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 4

This Sunday, we wing our way through Hebrews chapter 4, where we’re reminded that God has prepared a place of true rest, like a destination waiting for travelers after a long flight. But, we’re warned not to miss that destination through unbelief. Just as passengers must listen carefully to the pilot and follow the flight plan, we are called to pay attention to God’s voice and trust His direction.

 

Join us this week as we learn to rest knowing God is in the control tower, and He will provide mercy, guidance, and grace exactly when we need it to keep flying faithfully toward our final destination.

Hebrews 3

Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews! This Sunday, we will fly over the scene outside the promised land and learn the characteristics it takes to “think like the two.”

 

We all have crossroads moments in life — those times when we either retreat in fear or move on in faith. Let’s learn how faith in a Savior ‘far greater than Moses’ can lead us through.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Author Of Salvation | Pastor Chris Heller

 

“. . . What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?”

Hebrews 2:6

Most people don’t wake up one day and decide to walk away from God. Drifting is subtle. It happens slowly—through distraction, busyness, disappointment, or neglect. We might not intend to reject the truth outright; we may just stop paying close attention to it. The salvation Jesus has given is too great to ignore.

Join us this Sunday as we strive to rise above the noise of life and keep our focus on the Author of Salvation, Jesus Christ.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Intro - 1

Greater Than - Hebrews | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Join us this Sunday as we take off into the clouds and get a higher view of life through the eyes of the author of Hebrews in our new sermon series, “Greater Than.”

 

Throughout this series, we’ll take a powerful and faith-building journey that lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Christ and calls us to steadfast endurance. We’ll explore how believers can rise above doubt, fix our eyes on Jesus, and soar with confident faith through every season of life—grounded in truth, strengthened by hope, and inspired to live boldly for Him.

Selah | Psalm 66 - 4

Selah | Psalm 66 | Jason Black

 

It is easy to want the "Instagram version" of the life of Jesus, including the peace and the resurrection power. However, to truly follow Him is to know Him, which means counting the cost and walking the road He walked.

 

This Sunday, as we continue our Selah series and enter our week of prayer, we will look at who Jesus is by exploring His names.

 

We will hike through Psalm 66 together, using its verses to "Selah" as we behold Jesus.

 

Whether you are in a season of chaos or a place of abundance, come ready to lay down your striving and find rest in the character of the One whose name is Holy.

Selah | Psalm 77 - 3

Selah | Psalm 77 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

So far in our Selah series, we’ve visited homes overwhelmed by stress and homes in seasons of success. But in every neighborhood, there are also homes that may look fine on the outside, but inside something has gone terribly wrong. Homes that are in crisis, overwhelmed by loss, fear, and pain.

 

This Sunday, we’ll drop back into the life of Jesus, right when he is experiencing the greatest crisis moment of his life. We’ll see how he responds to that moment, and learn to Selah alongside him in another psalm—this time, Psalm 77.

 

Whether it’s every once in a while, every day, or every moment, if you’re experiencing loss, fear, or pain, this Sunday we’ll learn how to follow Jesus’ example as he found Selah in crisis.

Selah | Psalm 46 - 2

Selah | Psalm 46 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

We started our new series with a visit to a home filled with chaos and stress. If we kept walking those same streets, in the same neighborhoods, we could step into homes that have a different dynamic. Not chaos and stress—but success.

 

Not to minimize real suffering that happens all over our church and community but, for many of us, modern life is pretty good. And when things are good, we’ll often find that we have grown complacent in our spiritual lives. It’s not that God is rejected. He’s just edged out. Pushed to the fringes.

 

We need some Selah in our lives.

 

This week, we’ll drop back into Jesus’ life during a season of great success, and we’ll notice the way he lives his life. Then we’ll find a spot next to him, meditate on the words of Psalm 46, and let that psalm guide us toward more Selah in our own lives.

Selah | Psalm 62 - 1

Selah | Psalm 62 | Pastor Jon Adams

Now that we’re on the other side of the Christmas season, it’s a good time to check in and ask, “How are you really doing?”

 

If you’re like most American families, you may be feeling the stress of modern life. Whether at home or work, most of us experience times when that stress rears its head as anxiety or resentment, impatience or anger.

 

Contrast that with the way Jesus lived. How was he able to interact with so many people, meet so many needs, and yet remain totally yielded to God?

 

When we read Scripture, we sense the peace in his soul, and we witness the patience, gentleness, and care he had for others.

 

How did he do it? I believe the secret to his life comes from a practice that we’ll look at this Sunday as we begin our week of prayer series—Selah.
