About the Sermon

The departure of God’s glory from the temple is one of the most heartbreaking moments in Ezekiel’s visions. It shows how sin and spiritual complacency create distance between us and God. But it also sparks a hunger for His presence to return. Revival begins when we recognize what we’ve lost, grieve over it, and long for His presence to fill our lives once again.

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.
