Hope: The Neglected Middle Child
This powerful message dives into the often-overlooked virtue of hope, exploring its vital role alongside faith and love (1 Corinthians 13:13), and correcting the common misconception that biblical hope is just wishful thinking. Biblical hope is defined as a steadfast trust in God's faithfulness and future plans, providing the anchor that drives our faith and governs our actions.
Hope for Creation, Hope for Us: Understanding Our Inheritance in Christ
What happens when life is over? In this message, the speaker uses a powerful, contrasting example from his time as a chaplain—the "relational grenades" that explode in a hospital room when an estate is discussed versus a peaceful passing—to introduce the monumental difference between being a "slave" to the flesh and being an adopted "Son" (Heir) of God through the Spirit.
What Will Set You Free?
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of shame or failure, even as a Christian?
We're diving into Romans 8, what might be one of the most important chapters in the entire New Testament.

The War Within: Understanding the True Power of Sin

Beyond Religion: The True Meaning of Romans 6

The Power of the Gospel!
What happens when God’s grace meets the most broken of lives? In this powerful message from Romans 5:6–21, Pastor Nathan shares the incredible true story of Max, a hardened man living on the streets whose life was completely transformed by the “aggressive forgiveness” of Jesus Christ. Through the story of Kurt’s ministry on Portland’s streets and Paul’s teaching in Romans, we discover that God’s salvation is far bigger and more powerful than we often imagine. Sin and death may threaten us, but grace wins hands down.
The Debt You Didn’t know you Had!
Many of us live our lives unaware of a spiritual debt we carry—a debt that separates us from God. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus has already paid that price. Through faith in Him, we are "justified," which means our account is cleared, and we can experience true peace with God.
Discovering Your Place in God's Family on Mission!
What does "family" truly mean? While we often think of blood relatives, the Bible expands this definition in a powerful way. Using the story of Abraham from Romans 4 and the compelling analogy of a "Band of Brothers," this message explores how we become part of God's family not through our heritage or good works, but through a shared faith in Jesus Christ.
Why Being "Good" Isn't Good Enough
Do you ever feel like you're trying to earn God's approval by being a "good person"? Have you ever thought of salvation as just "fire insurance" to get into heaven? This sermon confronts these common ideas with a life-changing truth from the book of Romans.
Why Does a Loving God Get Angry? Understanding God's Wrath in Romans
In this sermon, we dive deep into the Book of Romans to tackle one of the most difficult and misunderstood concepts in theology: the wrath of God. Discover why God's anger isn't like our fleeting, emotional anger. Instead, it is a perfect, just, and holy response to injustice and sin. Learn how God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance and how the good news of the gospel is even bigger and better than you might think.

Learn how to prepare your "beautiful feet" to share the hope you have, even in a changing culture, and discover the transformative power of the gospel message.
The Real Reason the Church Needs Your Money!
Do you find talking about money in church awkward? You're not alone. Many pastors find it tough, especially with the negative stereotypes around church finances. But what if you recognized how your financial contribution is actually vital to your spiritual growth and connection to God's work?
In this video, Pastor Nathan dives deep into an often-avoided topic: money and discipleship.
