About the Sermon

Why did Jesus clear the temple? In this message from our Come and See series, we explore John 2 and the powerful moment when Jesus flips tables in the temple. This wasn’t about anger or banning commerce—it was about tearing down walls that kept people from God. Jesus confronts injustice, exclusion, and spiritual barriers, and declares that He is the way to God. Making Space challenges us to ask what walls still exist today—and how the church can make Jesus easier to find, not easier to follow. Key themes: Jesus clears the temple • John 2 • Making room for the one • Church and mission • A house of prayer for all nations

What’s Really Going on in Your Heart?

In this message from Proverbs 4, we look at Solomon’s call to guard our hearts above all else, because everything we do flows from that hidden source. Learn how to recognize the warning signs of an unguarded heart and take practical steps to protect what matters most.

A Right-Sized View of Jesus

Most of us spend our time trying to fix what’s visible—our relationships, finances, anxiety, habits, and circumstances. But according to Proverbs, every area of life is built on a foundation. And if that foundation is off, everything else eventually begins to crack.

In the first message of our Rules for Life series, Pastor Ryan opens the book of Proverbs and explores one of the most important truths in all of Scripture: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Through practical teaching, personal stories, and biblical insight, you’ll discover what it means to have a right-sized view of Jesus and how seeing Him clearly changes every part of life.
