The Missing Love In week one of our Love Life series, The Missing Love, we confront a question most of us feel but rarely name: Why does love fade—even when we try hard? This message challenges the assumption that relational breakdowns happen simply because something is wrong with them or us, and instead invites us to consider a deeper truth—we often fall out of love with God before we fall out of love with people. Rooted in 1 John 4:7–19, this sermon reveals that human love was always meant to flow from God’s love. Love doesn’t begin with chemistry, effort, or compatibility—it...

Why You Can Trust The Bible In this message, Why You Can Trust the Bible, we address one of the most common and important questions people are asking today: Can I really trust Scripture?

Rooted in Hebrews 4:12–13, this message explains why the Bible is not a weapon or a rulebook, but a living and active invitation into rest, healing, and transformation. We explore how Scripture reveals not just...

In Your Dreams? In this message, In Your Dreams?, we explore what it truly means to dream big with God and how our dreams are meant to outlive us. Rooted in Ephesians 3:16–21, this sermon challenges shallow ambition and invites us into dreams that are anchored in God’s power, purpose, and eternal impact. Using the story of Joseph the dreamer, this message confronts hard but necessary questions: How long can you stay awake to hold on to your dream? Are you dreaming big about very small things? Will your dream still matter after you’re gone? Scripture reminds us that dreams disconnected...

If You Only Knew In this message, we walk through John 4:7–29, the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, and uncover how Jesus confronts our tendency to settle for less than the life God offers. Set during Jesus’ journey through Samaria at noon, this encounter reveals a Savior who meets people in their thirst, exposes false sources of life, and offers living water that truly satisfies. This sermon explores three powerful truths from the passage: that we are further than we think, Jesus is closer than we know, and He is better than we can imagine. Through this conversation at...

YOU HAD ONE JOB In this message, You Had One Job, we explore Jesus’ response to one of the most important questions ever asked: What is the greatest commandment? Rooted in Matthew 22:34–40, this sermon unpacks how Jesus simplifies a complex faith into one central calling—to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This message challenges the idea that God’s grace removes all responsibility and invites us to rediscover our primary role: to minister to the Lord. Drawing from Deuteronomy 10:8, the practices of the priests, and rich Hebrew meaning, we learn that ministry...

This message challenges a compartmentalized faith and invites us to make room for Jesus in every area of life. Discover how Jesus doesn’t wait to be pursued—He pursues us, why God with us (Emmanuel) changes our present reality, and how Jesus may not always feel safe, but He is always...

God With Us In this Christmas message, Filmore teaches on Emmanuel—God with us—and why the first Christmas was not sentimental, but a scandal. Discover why Jesus is fully God and fully human, how the virgin birth reveals God’s plan of salvation, and how the incarnation proves that God does not avoid our pain but enters it. Learn how the gospel moves us from a distant idea of God to a personal relationship with Him, and why God being with us changes everything—our fear, our suffering, and our obedience.

How’s Your Heart? In this Advent message, we ask an essential question often overlooked in the holiday rush: How’s your heart? While December fills with busyness—shopping, travel plans, and constant activity—Jesus invites us to slow down and make room for Him at the deepest level. Advent isn’t just about celebrating Christmas; it’s about preparing your heart for the arrival of Christ. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the four soils in Mark 4, this sermon explores how the condition of your heart determines what God can grow in your life. Whether your heart feels hardened, shallow,...

A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons In this message, Filmore unpacks what it means to be a healthy, countercultural church in a world marked by division, noise, and spiritual forgetfulness. Drawing from Titus 1–3, he explores how Christian maturity is formed through a different posture, a different perspective, and a different power—all rooted in the gospel. Learn why Paul tells Titus to “remind the people” again and again, how believers are called to respond to government and culture, and why remembering who we were before Jesus is...

Church Health: Healthy People In this message, we continue our Church Health series by walking through Titus 2 and discovering what healthy Christians look like according to the Bible—not according to cultural trends. Just as society has rebranded the meaning of a “macchiato,” our culture has redefined concepts like manhood, womanhood, marriage, submission, truth, and identity. Paul’s teaching to Titus helps us recover the real thing again. Learn how sound doctrine leads to a healthy life, why what you believe always shapes...
info_outlineIt’s one thing to hear about Jesus, but it’s another to encounter Him.
This Sunday, we’re joined by Pastor Jon Laurenzo as he brings a powerful message about the Jesus we never knew. In Luke 8, we see Jesus walking through a crowd when He encounters two people desperately in need of a miracle. We learn that their desperation and faith draw Jesus to them, and that same invitation is extended to us. But how often do we hesitate to bring our deepest needs to God, thinking they’re too big, too messy, or simply not worth His time?
Pastor Jon reminds us that when we come to God in our desperation, He doesn’t just heal surface-level problems. He restores us completely. Our faith must remain rooted in who Jesus truly is, not merely in what we hope He’ll do. When we’re consumed by rumors about Jesus instead of actually knowing Him, our faith becomes fragile and unstable, especially in moments of uncertainty.
This world often portrays a version of Jesus that feels distant and uninterested in our struggles. But the truth is, the suffering He endured on the cross was for the joy of being with you.
This week, take time to reflect on your relationship with Jesus. Are you chasing after rumors of who He is, or are you walking with the Savior you actually know?

- Luke 8:40-56
