Studying God’s word leads us to transformation

February 15, 2026 • Pauline Lim • 2 Timothy 3:10–17

To study God’s word is to be changed, to be transformed, not simply just to amass information. We study so that we can learn and gather information, but we gather that information to be changed to be more like Christ.

Fasting is Feasting

February 8, 2026 • Ryan Klement • Zechariah 7:2–6, Luke 4:1–2, Matthew 6:16–18, Joel 1:11–14

We continue in our series Celebration of Discipline to take a look at Fasting. Fasting is simply not very common or popular within American Christianity. What if we changed that? How can we engage with God in Fasting? What does the bible have to say about this? Lets learn together how to fast and seek God.

Celebration of Discipline: Prayer

February 1, 2026 • Erin Wood • Genesis 3:8–10

In this opening message of our Celebration of Discipline series, we begin with God’s first question to humanity: “Where are you?“. Rooted in Genesis 3, this sermon explores prayer not as performance, but as honest presence before a God who comes looking for us. Together, we consider how prayer begins with awareness, authenticity, and God’s gracious invitation to step into deep relationship and transformation.

A Light in the Darkness

January 25, 2026 • Loren Van Woudenberg • Ephesians 5:8–20

2026 Reset

Walk as God’s family, in the way of love and thanksgiving

January 18, 2026 • Pauline Lim • Ephesians 5:1–7

Follow God’s example by walking in love, just as Christ did. Reject what doesn’t reflect God’s character, but rather live a life of thanksgiving. Be aware to not partner with people who stray you away from a repentant life in Christ, in God’s family.

The Renewed Life

January 11, 2026 • Ryan Klement • Ephesians 4:15–32

We continue in our series through Ephesians to take a look at very practical and specific ways we are invited to be Christlike. As we RESET our lives and Re-orient our lives around Christ, we need to focus on 5 categories of transformation. We are called to put off lies, anger, theft, and a handful of other things; in order to seek Jesus, be transformed and instead live out the new life we have in Christ.

Abundant Life in Christ

January 4, 2026 • Erin Wood • Ephesians 4:22–24

We begin the new year with our series called RESET: Reorienting our Lives Around Christ, with a look at the book of Ephesians. We start off diving into Ephesians 4:22-24, where Paul encourages the Christians in Ephesus to be made new in Christ. What does it look like for us to be “made new” in Christ today? How to we lean fully into the abundant life God offers us in 2026 and beyond?

Seeing a Familiar Story in a New Light

December 24, 2025 • Erin Wood, Pauline Lim, Ryan Klement • Luke 2:1–14, Micah 5:2

Grace & Truth

December 21, 2025 • Ryan Klement • Matthew 1:18–25

 Joseph was pledged to be married to Mary, but things got thrown off when he found out she was pregnant. Joseph sought to live in a God honoring way and modeled for us godly character. He welcomed Mary as his wife and Jesus as His son. This Jesus is the messiah, God with us.

Jesus is our true peace that restores us to wholeness

December 14, 2025 • Pauline Lim • Luke 2:8–14, John 14:27, Ephesians 2:14–18, Matthew 5:9, Philippians 4:6–7

Main Idea: Jesus is peace, creates peace, and calls us to be peacemakers. Biblical peace doesn’t focus on circumstances, but focuses on the person of Christ, and to know His peace regardless of a difficult season. Lean into being a peacemaker to create the peace that makes things whole and restored.

Joy, Even When...

December 7, 2025 • Amanda Garrett • Luke 1:24–55, John 15:10–12

God's purpose in us brings joy in all circumstances.

Hope: When it Doesn't Feel Merry and Bright

November 30, 2025 • Erin Wood • Luke 24:13–21, Isaiah 9:1–7

We kick off our Advent series “Merry and Bright” with a deep look into Hope. What does it mean to have hope in our lives, especially when things are not how we expected or want them to be? Before the joy of “Unto us a child is born,” God’s people knew long waiting and longing. God’s promise breaks into disappointment with true hope.

The Leaper(s), the Healing, and the Unexpected Outcome

November 23, 2025 • Paul The • Luke 17:9–11, Leviticus 13:1–3, Leviticus 13:45–46, Psalm 100:4–5, Philippians 4:6–7

Guest preacher Paul The, former Worship Director at New Life, continues our series through the topic of Gratitude.

Thank the Lord

November 16, 2025 • Ryan Klement • Psalm 40:1–10

David was known as a great King in Israels history, but he was not without great trial, serious sin and painful struggles. God used these seasons to cultivate in him a thankful and worshipful heart. As we walk through Davids Psalm we are encouraged to live lives of Gratitude & Thanksgiving.

Unhindered: God’s Purposes in our Detours

November 9, 2025 • Erin Wood • Acts 28:1–10, Acts 28:28–31

We close our series in Acts with a look at an unexpected detour in the life of Paul. When life doesn’t go as planned — when we hit shipwrecks, delays, or unexpected turns — God’s purposes are not derailed. In the detours, God often does deep, surprising work: revealing kindness, moving powerfully, healing, providing, and continuing His mission through us.

Divine Disruption

November 2, 2025 • Ryan Klement • Acts 19:23–41

The Apostle Paul ministered in the city of Ephesus for 2-3 years and caused some Divine Disruption. No doubt much of the implementation of the Gospel was probably unexpected, but God did great things in and through the Ephesians to impact all of Asia for the Gospel. God often uses disruptions in our lives for good.

Empowered to share our faith in Jesus

October 26, 2025 • Ryan Klement • Acts 17:16–34

Just as the Apostle Paul shares his faith in Jesus, we too are called to share our faith. This sermon leans into some key things Paul does as he Shares about Jesus with the Athenians that we can learn from as we reflect on how we can share our faith in Jesus.

Keep Speaking - God is With You in Difficult Seasons

October 19, 2025 • Pauline Lim • Acts 18:1–11

To be encouraged that God provides us with what we need to keep going in doing His kingdom work.

No Error in Grace

October 12, 2025 • Casey Cox • Acts 15

There is no error in grace—only errors we make about it. Phrase – “Let’s be sure to err on the side of Grace” always with good intentions, rather with graceful extension...

Growing Pains: Conflict in the Church

October 5, 2025 • Erin Wood • Acts 6:1–7

In Acts 6:1-7, we see a conflict arise between two different groups in the church. When faced with this issue, the leaders respond by leaning on God and one another to solve the problem. In this sermon, we will ask: how do we, as Christians, lean into conflict in a healthy and God-honoring way? Where might God be inviting you to grow through the conflicts in your own life?

Humble Thy Self in the Sight of the Lord

September 28, 2025 • Acts 8:26–40

The gospel crosses boundaries as Philip shares Christ with an Ethiopian official. Historically, this shows the widening mission beyond Jerusalem toward the ends of the earth.
