The newest Knives Out isn't just a murder mystery. Underneath the whodunit is a question its director can't shake: is religion toxic, or is it life-giving? Jesus confronted the same question, and his answer wasn't to fix religion but to shatter it. If faith has ever felt like a performance you keep failing, find out why it's never been about what you do. It's about what's already been done. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

When was the last time someone was unkind to you? In a world that's increasingly unkind, showing kindness can feel like something nice people do — not something strong people need. This week, discover what one of Jesus' most famous and provocative stories reveals about who our neighbor really is, and what it actually looks like to be kind when the people around you aren't. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

Is it possible to experience real peace in a world like this? Some situations outpace our ability to manage them ... and anxiety has a way of filling the gap. This week, learn how a 2,000-year-old letter written from a prison cell offers something better than tips and tricks for stress management: a step-by-step path to trade a spinning mind for a settled soul, no matter what the circumstances. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Love is easy to talk about. It's a lot harder to actually practice on real people. The one who hurt you and never apologized. The family member who comes with a disclaimer. The person who never changes no matter what you do. Loving difficult people is where inner transformation gets real — and where most of us need serious backup. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

Broken relationships rarely happen overnight—but left unaddressed, they can unravel everything. This week we look at the tragic fallout between David and his son Absalom and the cost of avoiding hard conversations. Discover why avoidance is easier in the moment but devastating in the end—and how repentance, forgiveness, and courageous love can begin to heal what’s been fractured. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

David wasn’t chosen because he was perfect—but because his heart reflected God’s. This week we’ll explore what it really means to be “after God’s own heart” and how David’s honest, whole-life relationship with God shaped everything he did. Discover how bringing your full self to a gracious, compassionate God can transform the story you’re writing. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

Every one of us faces moments when doing the right thing feels costly, inconvenient, or unfair. In David’s story, we see what integrity looks like when temptation is loud and the easy way out is right in front of us. This week we’ll discover why the right thing is always the right thing—and how choosing the high road, one decision at a time, shapes the story we’re writing with our lives. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Every year comes with goals, habits, and fresh intentions—but nothing shapes our lives more than our relationships. Scripture gives us a different kind of relational code through the powerful “one another” commands: encourage one another, pray for one another, honor one another, and forgive one another. This message explores how choosing these practices can transform the way we love, heal, and grow together—and why living them out may be the most important decision you make this year.
