Make Room | Addison McIrvin
Make Room In this Christmas sermon, Make Room, we explore the birth of Jesus through the lens of why Christmas matters, not just what happened. Rooted in John 1:14, this message unpacks the meaning of the incarnation—how God became human, made His home among us, and brought heaven into our everyday lives. 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 good, faithful, and full of unfailing love. If you’ve ever wondered why the Christmas story should change the way you live, think, and follow Jesus, this message will help you rediscover the life-changing power of Christmas.

God with Us | Filmore Bouldes
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 | Filmore Bouldes
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, crowded, or open, Jesus uses this parable to diagnose spiritual health and invite transformation. Discover how Jesus brings true hope, joy, peace, and love—and why only the heart that is prepared can fully receive them. This sermon will help you: • Understand the four types of hearts Jesus describes in Mark 4 • Identify what hardens, crowds, or distracts your heart in the Christmas season • Grow deeper spiritual roots beyond emotion or seasonal inspiration • Prepare room for Jesus during Advent • Experience lasting hope, joy, peace, and love—not just holiday feelings • Become a receptive heart that produces spiritual fruit and long-term transformation Scripture References: Mark 4:1–20 (The Parable of the Sower) Isaiah 9:2 Luke 2:10, 14 1 John 4:9–10 Proverbs 4:23 Psalm 37:4 Luke 1:38 Psalm 119:18 Join Us This Week Plan a Visit (Seattle, WA) → Next Steps → Give → Follow Along Instagram → TikTok →

Church Health: A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons

Church Health: A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons
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 essential for spiritual growth, Christlike character, and a church that stands out for the right reasons. This sermon will help you: • Understand what makes a healthy church • Develop a Christlike posture toward authority and culture • Avoid slander, division, and quarrelsomeness • See yourself through the lens of grace, not self-righteousness • Rely on the transforming power of the Holy Spirit • Live out a faith that reflects Jesus in everyday life Scripture References: Titus 1–3 Acts 14:19–23 Titus 3:1–11 Romans 13:1 Matthew 5:9 Join Us This Week Plan a Visit (Seattle, WA) → Next Steps → Give → Follow Along Instagram → TikTok →

Church Health: Healthy People
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 who you become, and how spiritual formation happens across generations through intentional discipleship. This message explores God’s design for healthy men, healthy women, and spiritually grounded homes, while confronting cultural lies with the freedom of the gospel. Discover what biblical maturity looks like, how grace empowers real transformation, and why healthy churches are built by healthy doctrine that produces healthy people.

I've Been Thinking: Can I Trust God with 'This'?
I've Been Thinking (Week Three) We’ve all asked it: “Can I trust God with 'this'?” Not whether He’s real, but whether He’s involved. When life hurts longer than expected, when faith feels fragile, and when hope seems delayed, can we still trust Him with the specifics? In this message from our series “I’ve Been Thinking…”, Pastor Filmore reminds us that faith isn’t a side topic; it’s the whole thing. Through the story of a woman who reached for Jesus after twelve years of disappointment, we’re invited to guard what we hear, renew what we think, and activate what we believe. Because God isn’t after vague belief; He’s after trust that names what hurts and still reaches out for Him. When we trade fear for faith, “this” becomes the very place God's power shows up strongest.

But what if our desire to “be better” is stemmed from intentions that require asking deeper questions? In this message from our series “I’ve Been Thinking…”, Pastor Filmore explores the quiet tension between growth and validation, reminding us that God isn’t after perfection or performance. He’s after obedience. When we trade comparison for calling, weakness becomes the very place His power shows up strongest.

When You Pray: Starting Point of Prayer
Prayer is more than asking, it is the starting point of intimacy with God. In this message, Pastor Filmore reminds us that prayer begins not with our needs, but with our Father. True prayer is not about eloquent words, but about confidence and trust in the Father who already loves us. This week, start your prayers with worship. Anchor yourself in who He is, and discover the intimacy that changes everything.

The True You: A Servant

The True You: A Servant
Who but the creator can determine the identity of the creation? Who but God can tell us who we are? This week, Pastor Levi closes out our sermon series with a message titled The True You: A Servant. He reminds us that our identity as a servant brings about true freedom. In John 13, we see Jesus, fully aware of His authority and blessing from the Father, choose to serve by washing the feet of His disciples. The Bible lets us know that the true manifestation of power is in serving. It is to be in connected and in community with His people. But how often are we closed-fisted, protective of what we call “mine”? In reality, Scripture reveals that every blessing from God was never meant to stop with one person, it was always intended for the many. Society often convinces us that being a servant is beneath us. That we’re meant to take, to climb, and to build our own name. But if the Creator is the one who defines the creation, then we must look to Jesus to understand who we truly are. Reclaiming our identity as servants is the path to both fulfillment and freedom. So this week, regardless of how loud the world gets, remind yourself that true leadership always begin with a servant’s heart. Scripture Reference: Genesis 1:26 -28 Colossians 1:15-16 John 13:3-9, 12-17 1 Peter 4:10 Matthew 20:28 Ephesians 2:8-10 [Connect with Onechurch] | | |

The True You: Child of God
Where does your identity lie? Are you striving for approval, or resting in the intimacy of being God’s child? This week, Pastor Filmore preached on "The Name That Matters Most", a message about moving from performance to deep relationship. Through the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we’re reminded that God’s love isn’t earned, it’s received. Whether you’ve run from God or you've stayed home bound by duty, the Father is still pursuing you. As long as you try to impress Jesus, you’ll miss intimacy with Him. Your joy doesn’t come from your spiritual resume it comes from being known by God. God is not looking for spiritual employees, He is adopting children into His family. His grace is not limited, and His love knows no bounds. This week, shift your posture. Start your prayers with worship, not requests. Come to God as His child.

Desperate Dad
07/28/2025
Desperate Dad
Is your faith small in quantity or weak in quality? This week, Pastor Campbell takes us through Mark 9, where we witness an unforgettable encounter between Jesus and a desperate father seeking deliverance for his son. The father asks Jesus if He can do anything to save his son, and Jesus, rebuking the man's tentativeness, responds, “All things are possible for the one who believes.” In that moment, the father models for us a heart posture we should constantly find ourselves in. He says, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” We live in a world that tells us we need to be polished, confident, and spiritually perfect before we can come to Jesus. But in Mark 9, this father shows us a better way. We’re called to come desperate, honest, full of worship, and anchored in trust, because Jesus doesn’t respond to flawless faith. He responds to genuine faith. Too often, we believe we have to strive more and clean ourselves up before God will move. But Pastor Campbell reminds us that real faith isn’t rooted in effort. It’s rooted in an authentic relationship with the Father. A faith small in quantity, like a mustard seed, but not weak in quality, can move mountains. This week, be encouraged. There is no shame in crying out to God in uncertainty. You don’t have to be a superhero of faith for God to meet you. You just have to be faithful, and that’s possible for all of us.

The True You: Citizen of Heaven
Are you letting guilt determine who you are or leaning into who you already are in Christ? This week, Pastor Filmore continues our series by reminding us of our true citizenship in Heaven. God offers transformation through His truth in a world that tries to shape us through shame, pressure, and performance. Before He ever gives us instruction, He gives us identity. We’re not striving to become someone else, but we are learning to embody who we already are in Christ. We are merely passing through this world, and that means our cravings, our convictions, and our perspective should look different from the culture around us. When we spend time leaning into what God has to offer and what He says about us our appetites begin to change. Our perspective deepens. And our hearts start to break for what breaks His. This message is a call to lay down our old labels and live with eternity in mind. Our faith walk takes effort. Our loyalty must belong to Jesus first. And above all, we must remember: we are no longer defined by old scripts, shame, or sin. We are citizens of heaven, called to live like it. Scripture Reference: Genesis 1:26 Exodus 19:5-6 1 Corinthians 1:2 Philippians 3:17-20 1 Samuel 24:4 Philippians 3:19 1 Timothy 4:7 Acts 17:16 Galatians 5:17 [Connect with Onechurch] | | |

The Jesus I Never Knew
07/14/2025
The Jesus I Never Knew
It’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? Scripture Reference: Luke 8:40-56 [Connect with Onechurch] | | |

The True You: Priest
Who are we really? In a world that is obsessed with self expression and inventing we are offered something deeper in the gospel. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore launches us into our new series on what God says about us. We are not performers, producers, or spectators we are a royal priesthood. The world chases success to settle insecurities and to silence shame but in Christ our identity is never based on what we achieve or how we feel. We have been called out of darkness and invited into our true roles as priests. As priests we are not passive observers but active participants. We bring our everyday praises, presence, and prayers as a sacrifice to God and lay it all down as His altar. We stop clinging on to the success and feelings and start trusting that if we bring the offering and God brings the outcome. Jesus calls us to a life that is marked by surrender and not spotlight. A reminder that he doesnt just want our two hours on Sunday but our everyday. You are not tasked to prove yourself but you must bring yourself and fully trust that the Lord is enough.

Chasing perfection? Striving to feel close to God? Fruit doesn’t come from effort—it comes from connection. This week, Pastor Roy concludes the "I Am" series with Jesus’ final declaration in John 15: “I am the true vine.” In a world that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, Jesus invites us into something deeper—a shift from an “I” mentality to a connected, relational way of life rooted in us. Jesus calls us to abide in Him—not to prove ourselves, but to stay close to the source of life. In a culture obsessed with personal gain and comparison, we often lose sight of our purpose. Fruit isn’t meant for the branch that bears it—it’s meant to nourish others. When we’re connected to Jesus, the fruit of our lives becomes a blessing to the people around us. When we abide in Christ, our lives naturally begin to produce the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more. This fruit is not about striving, but about staying connected. And at the heart of that connection is a Father who delights not just in you, but in everyone around you. This week, remember: you are not too broken, too thorny, or too distant. You are the center of God’s delight. And when you remain in His love, your life will bear the kind of fruit that continues to bless and refresh those around you.

Jesus and the Cure for Troubled Hearts

Jesus and the Cure for Troubled Hearts
Do you feel that, despite the world’s advice and answers, your life and its circumstances are still out of your depth? Leave your way and your previous solutions — and turn to Jesus. This week, Pastor Filmore continues the “I Am” series by exploring one of Jesus’ most powerful declarations in John 14: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” In a world that tells us peace comes through control, success, or hard work, Jesus tells us that true peace is found only in Him. He is the cure for troubled hearts. He urges us not to let our hearts be troubled because He has gone to prepare a place for us. This is not just a promise for the future but a call to shift your focus now. We’re not called to have it all figured out. Jesus reminds us that the point of life isn’t about the where, it’s about the Who. This week, when you find yourself fixated on where to go, what decision to make, or when it will all work out you are invited to pause. Shift your focus and rest in the One who is the Way.

Jesus and the Hope We Can’t Live Without

Jesus and the Hope We Can’t Live Without
Just because it feels like the end doesn't mean it is. This week, Pastor Filmore walks us through the powerful moment in John 11 where Jesus’ delay leads to resurrection. As we wrestle with grief, unanswered prayers, and lingering disappointments, we’re reminded that Jesus doesn’t just offer resurrection — He is resurrection. He enters our pain, weeps with us, and speaks life into places that feel beyond hope. Maybe what feels like the end is actually just the middle. And maybe Jesus is setting you up not just for a miracle, but for a deeper faith. If you’re in a season of waiting, doubting, or grieving, this message is for you. Let it remind you that death doesn’t have the final word — Jesus does. Scripture References: John 11:1–44 1 Thessalonians 4:13 Romans 8:11 Isaiah 61:3 [Connect with Onechurch] | | |

God Within Us

God Within Us
Do you feel unready, inadequate, or incompetent? Then rejoice! Our lack and weakness is where God’s ability picks up. On this Day of Pentecost, Pastor Filmore reminds us of that powerful moment in Acts 2 where we see the beginning of the New Testament church — the wedding of Christ and the Church. Jesus tells us that He is leaving for our benefit, to leave with us a Helper who will empower our lives. The world urges us to move only when we are sure, but God calls us to move because He is sure. We must not confuse certainty with the faith we truly need. The power and presence of God do not require perfect conditions. You do not need all your feelings of fear or insecurity to go away; you need the Spirit of God to overshadow them. As you reflect on this message, shift the posture of your heart from control and the need for certainty to faith and expectation.

Another Sermon About Grace

Another Sermon About Grace
Are you mistaking tolerance for Grace? This Sunday, Pastor Filmore invites us into a deeper understanding of what real grace looks like. Drawing from Luke 7, where Jesus dines in the house of a Pharisee, we see that grace isnt encountered through pretense or performacne. We cannot try to manage Jesus and think that we are inviting Him in on our terms and in our atmosphere. True grace is met in honesty and surrender. This story reminds us that the depth of our experience with grace is linked to the depth of our devotion. When we stop seeing Jesus as an observer in our live but as a loving savior that loves fully and completely we encounter a grace that begins a transformative work in us. The grace of Jesus is not selective or polite. It is scandalus, transformative and personal. This week truly receive it and see how it changes everything.
