Proverbs 7 | How Does That Happen? - Harry Walls
How do good people end up making choices they never thought they would make? Proverbs 7 gives us a sobering picture of the path to moral compromise and shows that failure rarely happens all at once.

Psalm 8 | What Is Man? - Jonny Ardavanis
What does it mean to be human, and what gives our lives meaning, value, and purpose? Psalm 8 answers those questions by first turning our attention away from ourselves and toward the God who made us. We cannot truly understand who we are until we understand who He is.Though we are small against the vastness of creation, we are not insignificant. The God who created and rules the heavens is mindful

Psalm 51 | David's Plea For Mercy - Jonny Ardavanis
In Psalm 51, David—the man after God's own heart—stands exposed by his sin with no excuses, no self-defense, and no confidence in his own righteousness.

Luke 10:25-37 | The Good Samaritan - Brandon Wolf
The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus' most familiar teachings, but its primary message reaches far deeper than simply encouraging kindness.

John 17:1-2 | Jesus: Our Great High Priest - Jonny Ardavanis
In this sermon, we walk through John 17 and see what Christ is doing even now—interceding for His people.

John 15:26-16:4 | Christian Boldness in a Hostile World - Jonny Ardavanis
In John 15–16, Jesus prepares His disciples for life in a world that will oppose them.

John 15 | Your Identity In Christ | Union - Jonny Ardavanis
Why do so many Christians struggle with temptation, doubt, insecurity, and a lack of spiritual strength?

2 Corinthians 12:15 | I Want To Know What Love Is - Harry Walls

John 11:17-26 | I AM The Resurrection - Jonny Ardavanis
