Tyler opens the series Vapor, drawing from the Book of Ecclesiastes, by exploring two contrasting worldviews: "Over the Sun" and "Under the Sun," using principles of apologetics to examine their implications. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon presents a worldview "under the sun," where life is seen purely through a materialistic lens — as if everything that can be perceived with our senses is all that exists. This perspective aligns with atheism, which dismisses any spiritual dimension, and agnosticism, which questions whether the spiritual realm even matters. Ecclesiastes argues that this view, when f ..read more

Welcome back to our first Books of the Bible for 2025! This week’s message was a deep dive into the book of Ecclesiastes, exploring its timeless wisdom and raw reflections on life's meaning. Ecclesiastes repeatedly reminds us that life under the sun—pursuits of wealth, pleasure, and achievement—is like a vapor, fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying without God. It offers hope, emphasizing the importance of fearing God, obeying His commands, and remembering the certainty of judgment. With Jesus, judgment transforms from fear to comfort, offering eternal hope and the assurance of a meaningful lif ..read more

This week, Tyler invites us to approach faith as an experiment—a journey of exploration over the next 16 weeks to delve into Christian teachings and practices. By Easter, we are encouraged to reflect on how this intentional pursuit has shaped our lives.   He emphasizes the transformative power of spiritual exploration, urging us to embrace Jesus and experience the joy, peace, and eternal life found in Him. Drawing from C.S. Lewis, the message reveals how drawing closer to divine truth can bring profound and lasting change.   In a world where materialism and atheism often fail to sati ..read more

This weekend, Tyler reflects on Luke 2, recounting the birth of Jesus and its profound connection to finding meaning amidst a world of apathy, anxiety, and distractions. The pervasive issue of "meh"—emotional apathy or languishing—has become one of today’s significant spiritual challenges, alongside a broader lack of purpose. While the holiday season is culturally celebrated as a time of joy, it often amplifies feelings of emptiness, as many find themselves overwhelmed by distractions and trivialities. However, the message of Jesus's birth reveals a deeper truth: true meaning is found in sacri ..read more

Tyler continued in our Finding Peace in an Anxious World series focusing on Self-Denial over Self-Indulgence. He emphasized the dangers of materialism, and the transformative power of generosity and contentment rooted in faith. It begins with a reminder that worldly possessions are temporary and encourages gratitude for basic needs, warning against the destructive allure of wealth and comparison. Instead, true wealth is found in contentment, generosity, and faith. Jesus gave up the treasures of heaven to make you His treasure. What you need is not simply to resist money, what you need is to re ..read more

This weekend, we began our mental health series on Finding Peace in an Anxious World as we prepare for the Christmas season. Drawing from John 1:1-18, Tyler emphasized Jesus as the Word—Creator, incarnate Savior, and source of spiritual rebirth— he contrasted the fleeting solutions offered by secular worldviews with the enduring hope and peace found through faith in Christ. As we approach Christmas, Tyler challenged us to reflect deeply on our lives, embrace faith, and consider baptism as a step toward regeneration and healing. He reminded us that rediscovering Jesus as the heart of Christmas ..read more

This week, Terrence continued in the "Made for This" series, focusing on Faithfulness to the Truth. He highlighted different ways people receive God’s word, depending on their heart's condition: the path (word snatched by distractions), rocky ground (faith without depth), thorns (faith choked by life's concerns), and good soil (persevering faith that bears fruit). Believers are urged to examine their faithfulness by reflecting on whether they are letting distractions or life's challenges hinder their spiritual growth. True faithfulness involves honesty about one's condition, holding onto God's ..read more
