Some simple principles every believer must embrace in a new year, in order to make each new day count.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
This week we stop and look back upon some of the moments from 2020, and see how they challenged and prepared us for the year that was ahead of us.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
If your uncle from the 1950s was magically transported to 2020, what gifts would you give him in order to thrive today?By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Complicated living is killing us. It’s keeping us from experiencing life the way our Creator meant for us to enjoy it. Too much of the time we’re anxious and worried. We’re exhausted and stressed out. We don’t know which way to turn.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Over half of us will receive unwanted gifts this year – a staggering $16 billion wasted on unwanted gifts. Eighteen percent of gifts are never used by the person who receives them and 4 percent are immediately thrown into the trash! The Good News is, we have all been given a gift from God, that we celebrate this Christmas season! It is through that…
While many may be relieved to be in the Christmas season, the truth is, it has been a long year! So, as we begin a brand new Christmas season, let's go back and see just how much things have changed, and what hasn't changed in thousands of years.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
This year more than ever, most conversations have been affected by one question, "How can I avoid death?" The question all of us should be asking, is far more important.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
I recently had the opportunity to get away and spend some time with my son. During that time, I learned several important lessons that are proving to be critical for our lives today.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
So many of us spend our lives running around looking for something that will finally satisfy our desires, and set our minds at ease. However, this pursuit usually leaves us lacking, because we run to the wrong things.By Pastor Dan Seaborn | Guest Speaker
Do you ever feel like you are just a pawn on a board game? Sometimes it feels like someone is just playing a giant game with all of us being simple pieces on the board. Games like Life, Monopoly and Battleship are iconic, but did you realize there is a board-game called Pandemic?!?By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
It’s easy to get discouraged. Throughout the pages of scripture we learn that we are not the only the people who lived in insane times. God’s people find themselves in crazy circumstances but God shows up and guides His people and His Word shows us that God is in control!By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Knock Down the small things in life, big things can & will fall. Our decisions, actions and even our words, can have consequences we never considered. This week we take a look at the vivid imagery the Bible uses when talking about the importance of our words.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
The Domino Effect is produced when one event initiates a succession of similar events, once the first one falls things just keep going faster and bigger! Another way to look at it, is to recognize it is a chain reaction. The outcome is predictable, and today we are watching dominos fall all around us.…
Anyone who has ever "closed" on a home sale, knows its not always so simple. There are steps involved, a process. I recently went through this process, including a home inspection. I was later informed, the house had some issues that needed to be resolved. When entering the home again, all I could see was the brokenness, clearly identified. In life…
There aren’t a lot of other ways that show a stronger dedication to something than to have it tattooed. Have you ever feared that your faith might fail? Have you worried you might not be able to “hold out” or “hold on” in the long, arduous journey of the Christian life? Join us as we reflect on the last few weeks, and what it means to Hold Fast as …
If a scary movie keeps you awake at night, then you will love this week’s message... To say the events of the tribulation will be horrible is an understatement. The years we will talk about will be nothing like the world as ever known.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
What happens when I die? What happens when this world finally comes to an end?It’s time to start thinking about your life and the world and how they’re both going to end. Not trying to be morbid, we're not focused on death, we're focused on death and far beyond. The Bible speaks to the final reckoning. There will be a day the world will be shaken, …
Everybody has doubts. We all have a tendency to second guess ourselves and say, "Did I do the right thing? Did I make the right decision? Should I take it back to the store? Who can I trust?" We all struggle with these kinds of questions in our lives. The important thing, is what do we do with our doubt?…
Another Brick In The Wall, the deep meaning of the song is that the teacher actually represents the government and the students are the people. The government doesn't let people do what they want and the government wants to control everyone. One of the oldest cities on earth, Jericho was 2000 years old when the famous "Battle of Jericho" took place…
Sometimes the feelings of overworked and burned out get the best of us. We become weary and tired of continuing to fight on. It is during these times that we need "spotters" in our life. People to lift our hands up and cheer us on.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Having conviction means to stand for something, to trust in something. And we said that true conviction comes from truth. Once our convictions are tethered to truth, then and only then, do we have true convictions.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
There aren’t a lot of other ways that show a stronger dedication to something than to have it tattooed.Weeks ago I was watching the movie, "Master and Commander". In that movie there is quick scene where a deckhand flashes his hands and says to a sailor, with the words "Hold Fast" tattooed across his fingers. Hold Fast means to stay tough or dig in…
Hear from our Middle & High School students, as they lead out in worship, baptism & life change. Challenging all of us, to be passionate about sharing our faith!By Pastor Matt Samler
Personal Question for you, "How do you smell?" Okay, that's an odd way to start off, but when the church is united, Psalm 133 says we are like a pleasing fragrance.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
What do you do when something happens that is beyond your control? What do you do when you find yourself wanting to help, but are completely helpless to correct the situation. Panic has set in as you try to figure out what to do. “Of course”, you dial 911 and ask for help. When you dial 911 help is immediately dispatched to your location. This week…
This week's destination, is actually part of the journey. Driving along Interstate 9, as you approach the Delaware Bay, all drivers are forced to make a decision. Will you stop and wait for the Ferry Boat to arrive, and carry you across the bay or will you stay in your car and drive the highway around the bay?…
No one intentionally visits a dismal place on vacation. However, so many times in life, people find themselves in a place that is exactly that! The good news is, just because a place is dismal, doesn't mean it will never become more. In fact, one of the lessons this swamp teaches us today, is redemption is possible.…
It's time we look to the writings and intentions of our nation's founders, to learn the truth about the intent and foundations of America.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
I’m optimistic about our nation’s possibilities for the future, but I think we should be realistic. And part of loving America is wanting to save it from a corruption that most people are seemingly ignorant of… or indifferent towards.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Have you ever walked into a Casino to people watch? If you stand back and look at what is taking place around you, you will see different types of gamblers. There is always the "boring" table with the dollar bets, but what about the person who decides to risk it all? The ones who push all their chips in on one bet? There are some serious lessons to…
Life is like a river, full of twist and turns. If we are not careful we could be drifting without realizing it.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
It seems that Jackson Browne didn’t have far to go from his residence to the studio where he was making his 1976 album The Pretender, so he rarely stopped to gas up his car. “I was always driving around with no gas,” Browne recalled to Rolling Stone. “I just never bothered to fill up the tank because — how far was it anyway? Just a few blocks.”…
This week as we kick-off the Roadtrip Re-ignition, we are going back to a place that meant so much to our church over five years ago. A place with a little known secret, and dangers all over. This spot captured the heart of a young man who inspired a community to "Live Like J".By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. With rare exception, most people take the most important things in life for granted. As that famous line from that Joni Mitchell song so correctly warns: You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
The Philistines were on one side of the valley, the Israelites were on the other... the battle was on!By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Behind every great man, is his Mother! The truth is, it’s never been harder to be a godly parent. As parents we feel overwhelmed, and confused as we navigate the "new normal".

Join us as we look back on Week #1 of the Rich Life series, and reflect as a staff on Proverbs Chapter 3.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
These days we are redefining our priorities. We need to redefine what it means, to be RICH. "Wealth" is more than a number in an account, it means life satisfaction.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Join us for a unique service as we reflect on what it was like Easter weekend, with no one in the building.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Face it, there is a lot of uncertainty today, and in life in general. Our health, death, the our kids future, our purpose or even what might be around the next corner. There are so many uncertainties of life, and that is why the Easter story, is such good news!By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Join us for a time of praise & worship, as we reflect and prepare for Easter Weekend.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Ask people to describe life and most will depict it in the same way, as a path or road. The reason is simple: life is like a journey. It’s a voyage from one experience to the next – from one tribulation to triumph and back again. Jesus knew where the journey would end: today, crowds shouting Hosanna! By Friday morning, crowds yelling “crucify.”…
Tonight we are revisiting a series from almost one year ago, "Lonely Planet". In light of COVID-19 and many around the world on "lockdown", its appropriate that we talk about loneliness and how we can find hope in the midst of it.By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
Have you ever been thirsty? I mean really thirsty… Where your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth and you have to peel your lips off of your teeth and all you can think about is water?By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
What is it that makes you loose your patience the fastest? For some, it is when you are at a drive through line at a bank, and the person in front of you is negotiating a second mortgage on his home, from the front seat of his car!! MOVE IT!!By Pastor Brent Freeman | Lead Pastor
In the Gospel of Luke 17, the writer records Jesus walking on the outskirts of a town. Some lepers were a distance away. Leprosy today is known as Hanson’s disease. It’s a horribly disfiguring illness in which nerve endings die, causing severe damage to the extremities. It should be no surprise, that Jesus healed the lepers, but it is their reactio…
