In the Family, Week 4 | Pastor David Payne

When a friend or family member does something to offend you, most of us understand that we are called to turn the other cheek. So often we find that action difficult because we fail to realize that forgiveness frees us more than it does others. In this message, Pastor David Payne brings us a deep dive into biblical forgiveness and what actually takes place when we walk in it.

In the Family, Week 3 | Pastor David Payne

During week three of our In the Family series, Pastor David Payne brings us into the know with this big idea: Uncommon people find unexpected ways to introduce people to Jesus. It’s not always as easy as a church invite. Watch this message to find out how the family brings people in!

In the Family, Week 2 | Pastor David Payne

The dreams of our future are often thought to be constructed from the ambitions, hopes, and desires we have. While there are many that will be formed that way, there is a larger, life-sized dream, that will elude us when we neglect to understand our part in the family of God.

In the Family, Week 1 | Pastor David Payne

Sometimes loneliness isn’t just a thing we feel when there is nobody else present, it can even be something we feel when we’re surrounded by lots of people. The local church is a place like that sometimes! What if the loneliness we feel has more to do with having a lack of understanding of our DNA and framework of faith than with the presence of ‘people like us’?

Worry & Anxiety | The Fog, Week 4 | Pastor David Payne

Foggy headspace is often plagued by consuming worry, and even physical manifestations of anxiety that only accelerate the worrisome merry-go-round! Worry can feel ’normal’ in our day and age, and with so many humans dealing with anxiety, we can feel resigned to ‘deal with it.’ God’s best for us is freedom in every way – including from worry and anxiety though!

Unseen Trauma | The Fog, Week 3 | Pastor David Payne

Every one of us has trauma in our past or present life. For some the scope and complexity is more severe, but everyone has to deal with it. Trauma often tries to dictate the methods of dealing with it, but trauma’s nature is to remain, not go away; as a result we have to ignore the voice of trauma and engage a better process.

Don’t Be a Jonah | Week 2 | Pastor David Payne

Most of the time we find ourselves telling God a lot about the problems we face. When there aren’t any problems, we don’t talk to him much, but then there are, we spend our time telling him about them. What if our prayer’s perspective was the problem? What is we reframed how we approach talking with God in the middle of the messiness? Jonah took that journey.
