6 APR 2026 · This Easter, instead of simply retelling the resurrection story, Pastor Brandon shares something personal—why he chose to follow Jesus. Through the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who encountered Jesus, we see a powerful picture of what happens when Jesus crosses our path. Life that once felt meaningless suddenly has purpose. Questions begin to find answers. Darkness turns to light. No matter your background, your doubts, or your past—this message is a reminder that you are not here by accident. This could be your moment.

30 MAR 2026 · Palm Sunday isn’t just the start of Holy Week—it’s the key to understanding Easter. In this message, we unpack the connection between Palm Sunday, Passover, and the sacrifice of Jesus. From the story in Exodus to Jesus entering Jerusalem as the Lamb of God, every detail points to God’s plan to rescue and redeem us. The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” would later cry “crucify Him.” And if we’re honest, we can find ourselves in that same tension. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus didn’t come just to meet our expectations—He came to save us. As we step into Holy Week, this is your moment to reflect, receive His grace, and prepare your heart for Easter.

23 MAR 2026 · This week, we wrapped up our series through the life of Solomon—and it ends with a powerful warning. Solomon had it all: wisdom, success, influence. But over time, he drifted. What started as blessing turned into compromise, and ultimately, division. This message challenges us to look at our own lives and ask: what are we putting at the center? You may not be able to change your past—but you can change your future. As we head into Easter, this is your moment to realign, repent, and choose a different path.

16 MAR 2026 · What happens when pleasure becomes the center of our lives instead of God? In this message, Pastor Morgan continues our series through the life of Solomon by looking at the subtle dangers that led one of the wisest men in history away from God. Solomon’s story reminds us that sin rarely begins with rebellion. It usually begins with compromise, small decisions, and slow drift. God created pleasure as a gift, but when pleasure becomes the pursuit of our lives, it can slowly redirect our hearts away from Him. Through Solomon’s life in 1 Kings 11, we see how compromise grows, how pleasure always demands more, and why only God can truly satisfy the thirst of our souls. If you’ve ever felt the pull of distraction, comfort, or chasing things that ultimately leave you empty, this message is a powerful reminder that Jesus offers living water that truly satisfies. Watch the full message and be encouraged to place God back on the throne of your heart.

9 MAR 2026 · What happens when you achieve everything you ever dreamed of? In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our series through the life of Solomon and explores one of the greatest warnings in Scripture. Solomon was the wealthiest and most successful king who ever lived, yet his story reveals a powerful truth: success does not always lead to significance. Through Solomon’s life, we discover how success can slowly become addictive, deceptive, and ultimately meaningless if it pulls our hearts away from God. This message challenges us to shift our focus from chasing success to pursuing a life of true significance in God’s kingdom.

2 MAR 2026 · We are officially at halftime in the life of Solomon. After 20 years of building the temple, the palace, and establishing his kingdom, Solomon had achieved everything he set out to do. He was powerful, wealthy, famous, and successful beyond imagination. But the first half of the game was over. In this message, Pastor Brandon walks us through 1 Kings 9 and 2 Chronicles 7 as God gives Solomon a halftime speech. A promise. A warning. And a call to finish well. Because in the end, success is not about what you build. It is about whether you know Him. If you feel like you are in a halftime season of life, this message is for you. Join us as we continue our series on the life of Solomon.

23 FEB 2026 · What does it mean to make space for God? This week, we continued our series through the life of Solomon by looking at one of his greatest achievements — building the Temple. But this message is about more than a building. It’s about holiness, dedication, and what it looks like to live a life of long obedience in the same direction. If we build a space for God, He will fill it.
The question is — do we want Him to? Watch as we explore:
• The significance of the Temple
• Solomon’s obedience (and compromise)
• What happens when God’s presence fills the space
• Why WE are now the temple
• And what it means to live set apart today Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction to Solomon: Wise Until He Was Not
Let’s make space for God.

17 FEB 2026 · The Man Who Had It All series, Pastor Brandon walks us through one of the most pivotal chapters in Solomon’s life — the moment where wisdom and drift exist side by side. Using the powerful illustration of drifting at the beach, this message shows how spiritual compromise rarely happens overnight. It happens slowly. Subtly. One small decision at a time. We explore: • Solomon’s early compromises • The difference between wisdom and knowledge • The famous “cut the baby in half” moment • How success can mask spiritual drift • Why finishing well matters more than starting strong Solomon asked God for wisdom — and God gave it generously. But even wisdom cannot protect someone who slowly drifts from obedience. This message is both a warning and an invitation: If you’ve been drifting, you can come home.

9 FEB 2026 · On Blue Sunday, Pastor Brandon continues our sermon series Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, diving into the early moments of Solomon’s reign and uncovering a powerful truth that runs through his entire story. Through Scripture in 1 Kings and the final words of David to Solomon, this message explores the idea that while Solomon worked tirelessly to remove every external enemy, he failed to address the greatest enemy of all — his own heart. Pastor Brandon challenges us to reflect on where our true battles lie, reminding us that the most significant struggles we face are often internal. Pride, unchecked desires, and misplaced affections can quietly undermine even the wisest and most successful lives. This message invites us to examine our hearts, guard what shapes us, and walk in obedience to God’s Word before small compromises become lifelong consequences. Whether you’re familiar with Solomon’s story or hearing it for the first time, this sermon offers timeless wisdom and a sobering reminder to stay attentive to the condition of your heart.

2 FEB 2026 · We’re kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God’s kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon’s rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God’s kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we’re building with our lives.
