In this final sermon of the "Shape of God’s Love" series, Barrett Stark explores Agape, the sacrificial and initiating love that defines the heart of the Gospel. Following previous studies on Hesed (steadfast love) and Phileo (brotherly love), this message emphasizes that true love is a way of life that chooses to move toward others regardless of the cost. Using the cross as the ultimate example, Barrett challenges the congregation to move beyond feelings and live out a love that stays, shows up, and sacrifices. The video concludes with a heartfelt parting gift and a prayer of blessing from the elders as Barrett prepares for his upcoming graduation.

In this message, Barrett explores phileo love—the kind of love that builds real, meaningful relationships. He reminds us that love isn’t just found in big moments, but in showing up, staying present, and choosing connection over comfort. This sermon challenges us to stop waiting on others and take the first step toward deeper, more intentional relationships.

Join preaching intern Barrett Starks as he begins a three-part series exploring the profound nature of God's love. In this lesson, we dive into the Hebrew concept of Hessed: a steadfast, covenantal love that remains faithful even in our seasons of silence, hardship, and wandering.

Easter Sunday 2026 was a special day. In the events of the morning we featured both English and Spanish singing, a Baby blessing for nine little ones, a presentation from our Youth Group, and a great group of our younger kids who helped present the morning's lesson.

Jesus is different than any other King. He chose to enter Jerusalem humbly, on a donkey rather than a warhorse. His humility challenges us to practice the same kind of mercy, wisdom, and longsuffering that mirrors his own.

What happens when a great leader is gone—but God’s work isn’t finished? In this message from Deuteronomy 18 and 34, we stand at the edge of Moses’ life and wrestle with a question every generation faces: who will lead us now? As Israel mourns the loss of their greatest prophet, God makes a stunning promise: a new prophet is coming, one who will speak with divine authority and must be listened to. Tracing this promise through Scripture to its fulfillment in Jesus, this sermon invites us into a deeply personal question: if Jesus truly is the prophet like Moses, are we actually listening to him? This message will challenge you not just to admire Jesus, but to let his voice shape your life in real, everyday decisions.

God provides healing when His people look up in trust. Jesus uses this image to show how His own lifting up brings life to the world.
