God Moved In
In this message from the Come and See series, Pastor Ryan walks through John 1:10–14 and reminds us of a powerful truth: God didn’t stay distant—He moved in. Jesus stepped into our world, understands our pain, and stays faithful even when life feels heavy.
Before the Beginning Began
In this message, Pastor Ryan opens the Gospel of John and shows us Christmas from God’s perspective—not starting in Bethlehem, but before time itself began. John pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus as the eternal Word: the One who existed before everything, speaks life into us, brings light into our darkness, and cannot be overcome.
The Gratitude Gap
In this one-off message, Pastor Ryan walks through Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers—a story that exposes how easy it is to receive God’s blessing without responding to the One who gave it. It’s a message about slowing down, remembering, and learning to see God’s goodness in the middle of real-life chaos.
Give
This week’s message wraps up our Heart for the House series with the topic most of us feel the tension around: giving. But not giving out of guilt or pressure—giving that flows from grace, trust, and ownership.
Can I Get a Witness?
Called to Serve
When the early church started to grow, they faced real challenges—people were being overlooked, needs were going unmet. Instead of ignoring it, they organized for impact. In Acts 6, we see the church empower everyday believers to serve and lead, and the result was explosive growth. God’s design has always been for every believer to play a part. Serving isn’t something we have to do—it’s something we get to do. Every act of service, every hidden moment of faithfulness, builds the body and strengthens the mission.
Join a Group
The early church didn’t do faith alone—and neither should you. In Acts 2, believers gathered in homes, prayed together, and built deep, lasting community. In a world that celebrates independence, God invites us back to connection.
This message from our Heart for the House series will challenge and encourage you to take the next step—join a group, find your people, and grow your faith in community.

When My Mind Won’t Move On
Feeling stuck replaying something you said or did — even after you’ve apologized, even after God has forgiven you?
This week in our Headspace series, we’re talking about guilt, shame, and the moments your mind just will not move on.
Here’s the core idea: God isn’t asking you to live in your past. He’s calling you forward.
From Isaiah 43, we see God tell His people, “Forget the former things… I am doing a new thing.” He’s not saying “pretend it never happened.” He’s saying, “Stop letting it define you. I’m not done with you.”
In this message we walk through:
• The difference between guilt and shame
– Guilt: “I did something wrong.” (from God, meant to lead you back to Him)
– Shame: “I am something wrong.” (from the enemy, meant to keep you stuck)
• Why you still feel heavy even after you’ve confessed it
• How to finally lay it down and stop punishing yourself
• How to start living like you’re actually forgiven
If you’ve ever thought, “I know God forgives people…but not this, not me,” this one’s for you.
God has already thrown that weight in the ocean. You don’t have to carry it anymore. He is doing a new thing — right now.
Need prayer, want to talk to someone, or ready to take a next step with Jesus? We’d love to help.
What You Consume Will Consume You
Feeling mentally cluttered or spiritually drained? In this week’s Headspace message, Pastor Ryan unpacks Proverbs 4:23–27 and shows how to guard your heart and renew your mind in a world full of noise.
Learn how to:
• Control what comes out of your mouth
• Guard what goes in through your eyes
• Choose where your feet take you
Because when something dirty touches something clean, the clean thing doesn’t stay clean—it gets contaminated.
If you’ve ever searched how to renew your mind, Christian help for anxiety, or what does guard your heart really mean, this teaching is for you.
