About the Sermon

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.

The Cost of Love

Love always costs something.

We say things like “I’ve got you” or “I’m all in”—but what happens when the cost actually comes due?

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan walks through the story of Peter in John 18–21—a man full of confidence who boldly declared he would die for Jesus… and then denied Him three times in a moment of pressure.

Sunday’s Coming

Some moments divide your life into before and after. That space where something has already happened—but the outcome hasn’t arrived yet. The place where you’re stuck between what was and what will be. Waiting. Wondering. Hoping Sunday actually comes. In John 20, Pastor Ryan walks through three real people—Mary, the disciples, and Thomas—each stuck in their own version of Saturday.

The Unanswered Prayer of God

What if one of Jesus’ prayers is still unanswered?

In John 17, we get a rare and powerful moment—Jesus praying to the Father just hours before the cross. And at the center of that prayer is a request that still challenges us today:

“That they may all be one.”
