Foundation First | Soul Care | Pastor Jason Hitte 02.08.2026

This week’s message opens with a lighthearted Vermont vacation story that leads into a deeply personal truth: many of us devalue ourselves even though we’re made in God’s image. Just like a child’s coloring page was already “good enough,” when God made you, He called it good. A healthy soul doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built, and it always starts with the right foundation. Through Scripture and real-life imagery, we’re reminded that identity must come before activity, and that our value isn’t based on feelings, performance, or others’ opinions, but on what God says about us. Stop calling trash what God calls treasure, foundation first.

Learning to Love Me: You Are Worth the Work! | Soul Care | Pastor John Brockman 02.01.2026

This week in Learning to Love Me: You Are Worth the Work, we explore what the soul really is, why it gets neglected even in faithful, busy lives, and how a healthy soul begins with seeing yourself the way God sees you. Scripture shows us that soul care isn’t self-centered but soul-aware, anchored in God’s Word, restored by His grace, and rooted in the truth that you are chosen, loved, delighted in, and worth redeeming. This message invites you to stop treating yourself as disposable and learn to rest in God’s acceptance, presence, and unshakable love.

Alignment for My Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.25.2026

The more we learn about God, the more we realize He is both knowable and inexhaustible, meticulous in design, intentional in purpose, and perfect in timing. This message reminds us that nothing in our lives is random: God orders creation, governs every detail, and cares deeply for each of us, down to the smallest thing. As Scripture calls us to live wisely and with intention in a misaligned world, we’re challenged to realign our lives with God’s purpose and with the right people, because we were created for community, strengthened in relationships, and called to walk with precision, direction, and faith.

Alignment Brings Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jase Hitte 01.18.2026

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck, this message is for you. Many of us love Jesus, yet still live overwhelmed because we’re carrying burdens we were never meant to hold. In this sermon, we discover that peace doesn’t come from trying harder, but from aligning our lives under God’s authority. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, we’re reminded that Jesus has all authority and nothing in our lives outranks Him. From anxiety and fear to parenting pressures, uncertainty, and spiritual fatigue, alignment shifts us from self-dependence to surrender, from fear to faith. This message calls us to realignment, deeper submission, and obedient trust, showing us that God’s authority isn’t just for protection, it’s for purpose. When we submit to God, resist the enemy, and speak His truth, we don’t just survive, we walk forward in the authority Jesus has already given us.

Alignment Before Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.11.2026

An important reminder for us that as we begin this new year and especially during 21 Days of Prayer, there is nothing more important than aligning our lives with God’s will, Word, and purpose before rushing into what we want to do for Him; through Isaiah’s powerful encounter with the Lord in Isaiah 6, we see that calling flows from alignment, formation, and then assignment, and that God is far more concerned with who we are becoming than what we are accomplishing because when we slow down, seek Him first, and allow Him to form our character, He will be the One who sends us into our next season with His power and presence.

Divine Alignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.04.2026

As we begin a brand-new year, we’re launching a new series called Divine Alignment, starting with a powerful message reminding us the most important thing you can do at the start of 2026 is get in alignment with God. Rooted in Psalm 37, this message reminds us that while we may stumble, we don’t fall, because the Lord directs the steps of the godly and holds us by the hand. We declare that 2026 is the year of alignment, alignment with God’s heart, His Word, His people, and His vision for your life and in this message, you’ll hear a clear call to live with purpose, walk in agreement with God, and get into position for a great year ahead.

Daily Yes | Pastor Jase Hitte 12.28.2025

This message reminds us that stepping into a new year isn’t about bigger goals or stronger resolutions, it’s about faithfulness in the small, daily moments. Drawing from Luke 16 and John 15, we’re challenged to see that real spiritual growth isn’t built on intensity, but on consistency. If 2026 is going to be a year of true growth, alignment, and closeness with God, it will be built on a simple but powerful choice: your Daily Yes. Join us as we reflect on God’s faithfulness, release the pressure of perfection, and discover how daily dependence on Jesus leads to lasting change.

The Right Response | The Sounds of Christmas | Pastor Carlon Holder 12.21.2025

Today we continue The Sound of Christmas series by unpacking the powerful meaning behind the classic song “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and discovering the biblical truth it proclaims. Rooted in the testimonies of enslaved believers in 19th-century America, this song carries a timeless message of hope in Jesus that was passed down through stories and songs, not textbooks. In Luke 2:15–20, we see the shepherds’ response to the good news of Christ’s birth, after encountering Jesus, they couldn’t keep it to themselves and went to tell everyone. In this message, “The Right Response,” we’re reminded that Christmas is not about temporary gifts, but about the eternal gift of salvation, and that encountering Jesus should compel us to boldly share the hope we have in Him with the world.

A Legacy of Faithfulness | The Sounds of Christmas | Pastor Jason Hitte 12.14.2025

“O Come, All Ye Faithful” is more than a Christmas song, it’s an invitation and a response. After celebrating the First Noel and the God who came close to us, this message calls us to come close to Him in return, just as the shepherds and wise men did. We’re reminded that God is faithful by nature, He keeps His promises even when we fall short, and His faithfulness spans generations. This Christmas, we’re invited not just to sing about faithfulness, but to live it, saying yes to God again and again through worship, consistency, and a forward-looking faith that trusts what He will do next.

Good News, Great Joy, All People | The Sounds of Christmas | Pastor Jason Hitte 12.07.2025

We sing songs all the time without knowing their meaning, like dancing to the Macarena oblivious to its lyrics, or singing Jingle Bells even though it was written for Thanksgiving! This week, we dive into the true meaning behind The First Noel, a proclamation of Christ’s birth, joy, and salvation.
 
From the 4,000-year promise in Genesis 3:15 to the angel’s announcement in Luke 2, we explore how the First Noel declares Good News, brings Great Joy, and reminds us that God’s promises are always fulfilled. Join us as we celebrate the Savior, the Good Shepherd, and the ultimate gift of Christmas.
