We can’t save someone, but we can introduce them to the One who can.

Talking about spiritual lostness can feel uncomfortable. But understanding what’s at stake—and how deeply Jesus loves those who are lost—helps us move toward people with truth and love.

SERMON SUMMARY:

In this message from Lost & Found, we wrestle with what it means to be lost, how we’re found through faith in Jesus, and our part in helping others find Him.

God takes responsibility for saving. He invites us to join Him in seeking.

Who’s close to you but far from Jesus? Watch the message and consider your next step toward them.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Most of us don’t set out to get lost. We drift through distractions, small decisions, and believing things that lead us away from Jesus. In this message from Lost & Found, we explore Luke 15:1–7 and the Good Shepherd who notices, pursues, carries, and celebrates the one who wandered. Discover Jesus’ heart to bring you home into His loving care—and His invitation to offer that same care to those close to you but far from Him.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus came to seek and save the lost because He loves people too much to leave them vulnerable and far from Him. In the opening message of Lost and Found, we explore why lostness matters to God—and how easily our hearts can drift from His concern for people who need rescue. Through Luke 19, Ezekiel 34, and Luke 15:1–2, we discover that being lost never lessens someone’s value or Jesus’ love for them. Before we join the search, we invite Jesus to search us: realigning our hearts, opening our eyes, and moving us to actively love people close by but far from Him.

SERMON SUMMARY:

What if the things we trust to protect us are keeping us from living the life we’re made for? In the final message of our Made for More series, David’s encounter with Goliath challenges us to exchange fear for freedom. Jesus doesn’t promise a life without danger or difficulty, but He offers security that frees us to follow Him. Discover how surrender helps us move beyond protecting ourselves to carrying the life and love of Jesus to others.

SERMON SUMMARY:

We all attach our hope to something, trusting it to hold us through today and carry us toward a better future. But when our hope is attached to something unreliable, insecurity grows. In John 4, the woman at the well comes to Jesus carrying deep thirst and a history of hopes that haven’t held. Jesus knows her completely, loves her fully, and offers her living water—a hope strong enough to hold her whole story. Once she discovers that hope, her insecurity becomes invitation: “Come and see.” When our hope is securely attached to Jesus, sharing it isn’t an obligation; it becomes a natural overflow.

SERMON SUMMARY:

We all want our lives to matter—but we’d prefer it not to cost us our comfort. In the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus challenges us to stop asking who qualifies to receive our compassion and start asking whose neighbor we’re willing to become. Because Jesus first moved toward us with mercy, we can exchange protecting our comfort for carrying His compassion into the messes around us. Comfort creates distance. Compassion closes it.

SERMON SUMMARY:

It’s possible to be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. In Luke 8:43–48, a woman who had suffered for twelve years came to Jesus hidden in a crowd, hoping to be healed without being seen. Jesus healed her body, but He didn’t let her remain hidden—He called her “daughter” and restored her identity, dignity, and belonging. Like her, we often reach for distractions, achievements, social media, or other substitutes to soothe the ache of loneliness without allowing ourselves to be truly known. But we weren’t made to hide or follow Jesus alone. We were made for authentic community where we can be seen, known, cared for, and help others experience that same belonging. We hide to stay safe, but Jesus brings us into the light to restore us.

SERMON SUMMARY:

It’s possible to be busy, productive, and moving forward while still drifting from the life we were made for. In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s ordinary life and leads him one faithful step at a time—from the familiar shoreline into deeper trust and a greater purpose. We trade drift for direction when we stop asking Jesus to bless the course we’ve chosen and allow His voice to determine our next step.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus didn’t come to be one more piece that gets added to the life we’ve already built or the life we’re trying to build for ourselves. He is the original designer who comes to lead the assembly of the whole thing so that our lives work the way they’re meant to and they accomplish the mission they’re made for. 

SERMON SUMMARY:

Pride has a funny way of making us dependent on the very things we think we're gaining independence from. In the end, pride leads us to indifference. It's not that we don't care, but rather that nothing/ no one really matters outside of ourselves. This is what Jesus confronts in His final letter to the church.

SERMON SUMMARY:

When culture, society, even friends and family shut doors in our faces, we can wonder if anything we do matters at all. Jesus reminds us that He is the one that holds the keys to life and when we're with Him there's no such thing a locked door. Though we feel as if we have little strength, He reminds us that our strength is found in being with Him.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus gets close enough to see beyond outside appearances, but not to shame us. Jesus doesn't allow us to settle for a fake way of life. Jesus came to give us the opportunity for an abundant life, which thrives inside and out. This is the real life He offers.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Inaction is action. Doing nothing is still doing something. When we are passive we allow something or someone other than Jesus to lead and influence us and those we care about.

SERMON SUMMARY:

Jesus’ truth isn’t used as a weapon to hurt us. His truth works like a scalpel in the hands of the most skilled surgeon. Jesus uses truth to cut out and remove the effects of compromise in our lives. It’s not hurt, it’s healing.

SERMON SUMMARY:

When the pressure on our lives begins to give way to suffering, Jesus doesn’t as or expect us to do more or try harder. He asks us to trust Him enough to surrender everything to Him, even when we suffer.

SERMON SUMMARY:

It’s possible to do things for Jesus with a heart that has drifted from Him. Jesus loves us too much to allow us to settle for religion without relationship.

Jesus meets people exactly where they are, in their mess, their loneliness, their compromise, and their chaos, without waiting for  perfect conditions. Just as Jesus appeared to John in exile on the island of Patmos, He draws close to us in our most difficult and  unpolished moments, not to condemn us but to invite us into  transformation.

SERMON SUMMARY:

There are times that we get to stack our "yes" on the "yeses" that others made before us. Some of the time our "yes" is the one that others get to stack their "yeses" on. Your “yes” can either continue the trajectory or change it entirely.

SERMON SUMMARY:

When it comes to giving Jesus our “yes” it’s not always smooth or easy, sometimes it’s clunky, awkward, as we wrestle with doubt. Regardless of how our “yes” is given, Jesus still uses it in ways we could hardly imagine.

When we get distracted by life and drift away from God, He lovingly causes us to stop, refocus, and recenter our lives on Him.
