What does it really mean to be a church on mission? In this message, Pastor Ben kicks off our series on the Ecclesial Minimum, the bare essentials of what makes a church a church. We begin with mission, but not just in the form of mission trips or service projects. We explore the difference between being on mission (making disciples) and missional activity (doing good in Jesus’ name), and how both matter deeply. If you’ve ever felt like mission was someone else’s job, or that you didn’t know where to begin, this message is for you. The call to make disciples isn’t optional. It’s the core of who we are as followers of Jesus. #corevalues #Discipleship #EcclesialMinimum #Matthew28 #Mission #BeOnMission

“Church” isn’t just a service you attend. It's a people you belong to. In this message, Pastor Ben unpacks the second part of our Ecclesial Minimum series by looking at community. Drawing from Acts 2 and the early church’s radical generosity, we talk about what it means to truly live life together as believers, where needs are shared, burdens are carried, and love is visible. But we also explore the dangers of valuing community more than mission and worship. What happens when the church becomes so close-knit that there’s no room for anyone else? How do we grow in love without becoming exclusive? If you’ve longed for deeper connection, this sermon casts a vision for biblical community that’s worth building your life around. #corevalues #community #EcclesialMinimum #acts2church #Fellowship #selfsacrifice

What if worship isn’t just about Sunday mornings or the songs we sing? What if true worship is meant to shape every part of our daily lives? In this message, Pastor Ben unpacks the final part of our “Ecclesial Minimum” series, exploring how worship is far more than music. It’s our whole-life response to the worth of God. Using Jeremiah 29 and Matthew 25, we explore how God calls us to live faithfully, love sacrificially, and bless our communities as a daily act of worship. #corevalues #worship #ecclesialminimum #Jeremiah #exile #Babylon #matthew25

The book of Chronicles isn’t just a book of Israel’s history but is also a book that points ahead to the coming hope of Israel, a messiah from the line of David.

Pastor Micah brings us his first message helping us to see the wisdom found in the book of James and where it demonstrates the ethics and teachings of Jesus!

As we look at the letter from Jude, we see a short letter with a big punch. Jude encourages believers to hold fast to the faith they’ve inherited by holding onto Jesus above all else.

First and second Peter provide for the early Christian’s a vision of living counter-culturally and even suffering for the sake of the gospel. But the suffering is not in vain because Peter also reminds the church that Jesus is returning soon!

The book of Revelation is meant to reveal something to the readers. Despite the way we’ve been taught to read Revelation as a book of secrets, it’s actually meant to help us see the world in a new and even a clearer way. So today we ask ourselves a simple question - are we allegiant to team dragon or team lamb?
