Unshakeable (Part 11)

If He loved you at your worst, then you don’t have to wonder if He still loves you now.

We continued in our Unshakeable series this morning with a lesson on love from Romans 5. Pastor Chris taught that unshakeable love moves first, changes everything, and secures your future. If you are in Christ, you have been declared righteous in the courtroom of Heaven. You have been set free!

Will you choose to move in freedom this week?

Unshakeable (Part 10)

Peace doesn’t start with how you feel. Peace starts with where you stand.

Pastor Chris preached the house down this morning with a message about the value of grace in our quest for peace. He taught from Romans 5 that peace comes when you finally realize that your standing is not based on your perfection, it’s based on His payment. 

Through Christ we know that grace doesn’t eliminate the battle, but it guarantees the victory. How will that truth lead you to real peace through grace this week?

Unshakeable (Part 9)

You may not see the full harvest of the seeds you’re planting, but someone will.

Happy Father’s Day! Today we received the next part in our Unshakeable series with a lesson in Romans 4. Pastor Chris taught that the greatest thing you’ll ever pass down to your kids isn’t what you put in their hands, but what you put in their hearts.

How will that change the way you approach those around you this week?

Who Are You (Pastor Rick Martin)

Today we welcomed friend of Destiny Church Pastor Rick Martin all the way from Belize, where he and his family are missionaries.

He taught that we need to meditate on our true identity in Christ if we are to fully live according to His will. If we don’t, the things around us will pull us away from that identity.

What will you choose to focus on this week?

Unshakeable (Part 7)

Grace never gives you a platform to stand on — it gives you a Savior to cling to.

We continued in our series on Romans this morning with a message on the power of grace. Pastor Chris taught that when it comes to grace, you don’t earn it — you receive it and that you can’t boast in grace — you surrender to it. 

When it comes to our identity in Christ, the Cross settled it. How will that change the way you live this week?

Unshakeable (Part 6)

Faithfulness is not just something God does — it’s who He is.

We continued in our Unshakeable series this morning with a message on the faithfulness of God from Romans 3. Pastor Chris taught that the mercy of God is still flowing and His grace still stands. God’s faithfulness isn’t cancelled by our failure.

Until you realize the depth of your sin, you won’t cherish the depth of His grace. Will you walk in grace this week?

Mother's Day (Pastor Jodi Tomlinson)

Immaturity doesn’t need deliverance; it needs perseverance.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we had the pleasure of hearing from one of our Senior Pastors, Jodi Tomlinson and she brought an incredible message about walking in maturity. She taught that we must make a habit out of endurance through difficulty so that we can return to the joy of the Lord.

This week, ask yourself: Who am I when I’m afraid, angry, or insecure? Do I still reflect the character of Christ?

Unshakeable (Part 5)

Have you been trusting in your label more than your Lord?

Pastor Chris brought a powerful and timely message the lovingkindness of God and how it leads us to action. He taught that real change starts in the heart. Don’t settle for the label, but live a life transformed by the goodness of the living God. 

God is after your heart, not your hype. How will you allow that truth to direct your life this week?

Unshakeable (Part 4)

God’s not waiting to shame you — He’s waiting to restore you.

Today we continued in our Unshakeable series with a teaching on Romans 2 and the kindness of a God who loves us where we are but too much to leave us there. Pastor Chris preached that comparison is a trap, God’s kindness isn’t a pass — it’s a path to repentance, and everyone will stand before God.

Live like you’re going to see Him soon.

This Changes Everything (Easter 2025)

Because Jesus lives, your past can be redeemed, your present can be reframed, and your future is secure.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! We celebrated the joy of our risen King this morning and Pastor Chris brought a powerful message about how it changes everything. Because Jesus lives… your struggles are not the end of the story, you have power to overcome sin in your daily life, and your life has purpose.

The resurrection is God’s receipt that our sin bill has been paid in full! How will that change your mindset moving forward?
