Well it happened again. This time worse than the last. Another senseless act of violence. Another mass killing. Another group of innocent lives ripped from their friends and families in a timeframe we call too soon. The details are still rolling out. The motive, if there is one, is yet to be determined. There are so many questions that our heads are spinning! But as many questions as exist, there seems to be even more blame. So whose fault is it anyway? Continue reading
This week in our We Believe series, we tackle a pretty big “churchy” word. Some words have a connection in the real world that makes them easy to understand but this week’s word isn’t that way. Listen as Pastor Derrick explains justification and why it’s so important!
Ever fall and not know how to recover? Ever make a mistake that seems so big no one will ever let you live it down? Ever just want to give up, close yourself in your room and NEVER come out? Then it’s time for a comeback! Continue reading
It’s easy in life to focus on the things we don’t have. It’s way too easy to see the shortcomings, failures, pains and other limitations. The world throws our limits back in our face every chance we can get. We measure ourselves by the success of others. We believe we’re not good enough based on how we stack up against someone else.

Is it really important to believe that God created the world? Is it important to believe that God created it the way it says in the book of Genesis? Listen as Pastor Derrick shares the importance of the creation account and what it means for us today.

Perhaps it’s because I’m not all that keen on being in a pool where who knows what all is floating around in the water! But I believe there’s something we can learn from our hot summer days at the pool. Continue reading
Ever notice that this world is pretty divided? I know that’s not news to anyone. Just turn on the television or your social media feed and you’ll be inundated with all of the _____lives matter campaigns running round. We divide on just about everything! We disagree about matters of gender, church affiliation, sports teams, politics and even how we do what we do. But there’s something far more important than any of these things! Continue reading
