Kingdom Logic turns the world’s definition of strength upside down.

In Week 2 of our Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh challenges the way we think about what it means to be strong. The world often defines strength by power, dominance, or the ability to overpower others—but in God’s Kingdom, true strength is revealed through what we have the power to do but choose not to d...

When life goes down, Kingdom Logic says take it up!

In Week 1 of our new Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh looks at the story of Hezekiah and Sennacherib in 2 Kings 18–19 to reveal a powerful truth about prayer. When Hezekiah faced a situation beyond his ability to control, his response was to bring it before the Lord.

Prayer isn't meant to be our last resort when we've exhausted eve...

In the final week of our Exodus series, we turn our attention from what God has set us free from to what He has set us free for.

God hasn't given us freedom simply to sit back and wait on eternity. He has a purpose for our lives right now—a purpose that can impact the lives and eternities of the people around us.

In Freedom to Dream, we explore the pow...

Welcome to one of our final weeks (Week 11) of our Exodus series as Elder Dayne Tosi explores Freedom From Doubt.

Every person builds their life on a worldview—a story that shapes how they understand truth, purpose, morality, and the meaning of life. In this thought-provoking message, we're challenged to examine not only what we believe, but why we believe it.

Drawing from Scripture,...

God's Law was never intended to save us—it was given to reveal our need for a Savior. While the Law exposes the reality of sin and its consequences, it has no power to free us from the curse of sin and death. That freedom is found only through Jesus Christ.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the difference between living under the weight of the Law and living in the freedom of God'...

Welcome to Week 9 of our Exodus series as Pastor Kenny Law shares a powerful message titled Freedom From Fear.

Fear has a way of making our problems seem bigger than God's promises. In Numbers 13:25–33, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Promised Land, but instead of seeing God's faithfulness, they focused on the giants before them. Their fear distorted their perspective and kep...

Welcome to Week 8 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a practical and biblical message titled Freedom From Debt.

What if God never intended your resources to simply be consumed, but invested for His Kingdom purposes? Throughout Scripture, we see that everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and He calls us to steward His blessings with wisdom, generosity, and intentionality.

In...

Welcome to Week 7 of our Exodus series as Elder Dayne Tosi explores what it truly means to find Freedom From Idolatry.

Idolatry is more than the worship of carved images. It's anything that takes God's rightful place in our hearts. Whether it's success, relationships, possessions, approval, comfort, or even a distorted view of who Jesus is, anything we trust more than God can become an ido...

Welcome to Week 6 of our Exodus series as we explore a struggle that affects all of us at one time or another: comparison.

In Freedom From Comparison, we examine the story of Miriam and Aaron and discover how comparison can quietly steal our joy, distort our perspective, and distract us from God's purpose for our lives. When we become focused on what God is doing for others, it's easy to l...

Welcome to Week 5 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a message titled Freedom From Bondage.

Bondage doesn't always look like chains. Sometimes it appears as fear, addiction, shame, unhealthy relationships, destructive habits, or thought patterns that keep us from experiencing the life God intended for us.

In this message, we discover that while God can bring us out of bondage in a moment, He also desires to lead us into a l...

Welcome to Week 4 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh explores a struggle many believers know all too well—feeling close to God one moment and condemned the next.

Looking at the life of Moses, this message reveals how shame, failure, and self-condemnation can keep us running from God's purpose and doubting His calling on our lives. While our flesh constantly reminds us of our mistakes, God's Word tells a different story.

Thro...

Welcome to Week 3 of our Exodus series as Elder Troy Peaden shares a message titled Freedom for the Future.

Whether you feel excited about what lies ahead or anxious about the unknown, God's Word reminds us that He is already there. The future is never uncertain to Him, and we can walk forward with confidence knowing that His presence goes before us.

In this message, we explore how our posture toward God impacts our ability to walk...

In Week 2 of our EXODUS series, Pastor Kenny explores what it means to experience freedom from the past. Drawing from Exodus 14:10-16, we find the children of Israel standing between what God had delivered them from and the promise He was leading them toward.

When fear and uncertainty caused them to look back, God gave a simple but powerful instruction: move forward.

This message reminds us that we cannot fully step into what God h...

In Week 1 of our EXODUS series, Pastor Josh explores what it means to experience freedom from doubt through the life of Moses. Even one of the greatest leaders in Scripture wrestled with questions many of us still ask today: “Who am I?” “Who are You, God?” and “What if I fail?”

This encouraging message reminds us that doubt may visit every believer, but it doesn’t have to define us. God is ...

Welcome to Week 2 of our Margins series as we explore The Mindset of Margin — learning the difference between what we’re carrying and what God actually designed us to carry.

Through the story of Mary and Martha, this message reveals how many of our greatest struggles are not physical, but mental and spiritual. In a world filled with pressure, distractions, and constant demands for our attention, God invites us into a he...

This week, Pastor Kenny brings a powerful standalone message centered on trusting God through every season of life.

Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, this message reminds us that even in the middle of trials, God is present and faithful. When these men refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar, they were thrown into the fire—but the flames did not destroy them. Instead, the only thing...

Welcome to Week One of our Margins series. What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is waiting on the space you haven’t created yet?

In this message, we explore the power of margin and why God often chooses to move in the areas where we intentionally make room for Him. Through biblical insight and practical application, you’ll be encouraged to release what’s unnecessary, reorder your priorities, and ...

Current events continue to point us back to the truth of God’s Word. In Ezekiel chapter 38, written nearly 2,600 years ago, the Bible describes a conflict that many believe could be unfolding before our eyes today.

In Week Two of our Signs of the Times series, we take a closer look at Ezekiel’s prophecy and how it may connect to what we are seeing in the world around us. As we walk through Scripture, we are reminded tha...
