February 20, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Ephesians 4:1–16
So many people are trying to figure out their purpose in life. What to do, where to go, who to be with. The list goes on and on. But as a follower of Jesus, you are called to something greater. And who you are matters.
How To Overcome Temptation
February 13, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 4:1–11
How do you overcome temptation?
What you do does not determine who you are. What Jesus has done declares who you are. And what you're currently going through determines where God is and what God feels about you. Should you insult God by testing Him to prove how much He loves you? The proof is already there. On the cross.
Peace Makers
February 6, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 5:9
There seems to be a lack of peace everywhere. In this world, in our relationships, and in our minds. We lack peace. So where do we find peace?
This week in our Everyday Habits series, we learn the difference between a peace maker and a peace keeper, and where true peace is found.
The Habit of Generosity
Pastor Chris Pratt • Exodus 13, Luke 16

Why Am I So Tired?
January 23, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 11, Hebrews 4:9–10
Rest. It's something all of us need but very few of us actually take the time to do it. Jesus actually tells us to find rest in Him. But, what does that mean and what does that practically look like?
Is the Bible That Important?
January 16, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • 2 Timothy 3:1–16
Are you looking for solutions -- or are you longing for a savior? You say you want to hear from God, but do you open up His word? The solutions are found by knowing Him. And to know Him, you need to read His word - the Bible.
As part of our Everyday Habits series, we're developing a daily habit of reading the bible. Read with us beginning January 17, on the YouVersion Bible App:

New Year - Same Battle
January 2, 2022 • Pastor Chris Pratt • 1 Timothy 4:6–7, Romans 7
As we begin a new year, it seems that most people love to make new year's resolutions. But the reality is 92% of people fail by February 14th. Maybe it's more important to focus on the WHO than the WHAT.
