How do we keep our eyes on Jesus in a world that doesn’t? How do we focus on the Good News when there is nothing but bad news around us? This week, Pastor Chase kicks off a new series called Focused. He equips us on how to keep our eyes on Jesus through challenging times. Every difficulty either draws us closer to Jesus, or drives a wedge between us and Jesus. One of the most dangerous things we can do as Christians is take our eyes off Jesus—our unshakeable hope in a world full of trials and tribulations.

Gospel-Focused Spending
September 29, 2024 • Chase Snyder
When we think about finances, various emotions and beliefs come to mind, often rooted in societal pressures and personal experiences. Financial stress can easily control our lives, leading us to believe that money will rescue us from our difficulties. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Chase emphasizes Jesus' teachings on money, highlighting the misconception that wealth equates to happiness or significance. These are lies from the enemy that distract us from the truth. Instead of viewing our finances as a means to an end, we should see them as opportunities to steward for His Kingdom. By embracing this perspective, we can transform our approach to money and find fulfillment in our true purpose.
The Art of Spiritual Conversations
October 6, 2024 • Chase Snyder
What are we discussing in our everyday conversations? In today’s world, it often feels challenging to have a civil conversation without someone taking offense or it turning into an argument. But the reality is, our words carry weight. Whether in practical or emotional discussions, what we say matters. So how often are we speaking about Jesus in our daily interactions? Do we naturally bring Him into our conversations? As Christians, we are called to live differently—set apart from the patterns of this world. Every day, we use countless words, so let us choose to glorify God with the way we speak.
