As we wrap up this series, Pastor Rick gives us one of the most important jobs we have as Christians: to talk about our faith with non-believers. Along with a couple strategies and things to remember!

In the first week of our series, Pastor Brian helped us to understand why we pray. Next, Pastor Rick gives us four things to remember how to pray to God.

To kick off the series, Pastor Brian uses our memory verse to highlight four things that we should ask God for in our prayers if we want to develop a stronger connection in our prayer lives.

For Easter 2024, Pastor Rick gives us three benefits that faith in Jesus Christ gives us. While we may not have witnessed the resurrection or even seen Jesus in person, faith is the cornerstone of having a relationship with our risen Savior.

What's your first instinct when you encounter change? Do you go with the flow or are you inclined to push back? Pastor Rick relates the calling of Matthew by Jesus to how we can be more open to accepting change in our life. God will be working to change us throughout our lives, but are we ready to be changed?

Today Brian uses the story of Simon Peter's repentance to Jesus to challenge us to ask forgiveness ourselves. Here's three ways that we can repent!

When was the last time you felt like you were "stuck in a rut"? Pastor Rick gives us insight on how we can take time to be alone with God and the benefits that it gives us.

In the opening message of our series, Pastor Rick touches on how characters from "The Chosen" weren't people who had everything together: all of them had problems! Highlighting the tax collector Matthew and how he was ostracized by his own people, we can also feel ostracized from the Father.

In the same way that God wants a relationship with us, He also wants us to be in relationship with each other. Pastor Brian gives us the 'why' behind our Christ-centered relationships.

As we continue to talk about what the phrase "The Church" means, Pastor Rick breaks down what it means to worship, why we worship and what God wants from us during worship.

In this series, we're breaking down the noun "Church" into three vital aspects that any healthy and thriving church has. In this message Pastor Rick talks about the importance of being an active and contributing member in church. We've all been given gifts by God, not so that we can keep them to ourselves, instead so that we can use them.

Pastor Brian wraps up our series by asking the question: "What does love require of me?" Finding consistent and meaningful relationships may be difficult, but they are the ones we value the most!

Pastor Brian helps us consider the question: what is the mature thing to do? Often, we tend not to take everything into account, but here we want to consider our past experience, current circumstances and future hopes.

Do you feel underlying pressure in your life? Maybe there's some tension that you've been trying to push away? Pastor Rick encourages us to take inventory in our hearts and consider what we should do to relieve the pressure.

As we talk about our legacy, we have to ask ourself the question: what story do we want our life to tell? Pastor Rick gives us things to consider as we look at our decisions during the new year.

As we kick off a new year at One Church, we begin a series that will challenge us with five questions everyone should ask themselves. In 2024, we ask: are we being honest with ourselves...really?

To celebrate Christmas Eve, Pastor Rick closes our Advent series with Love. When we think of how we should love other people we first must remember the love that Jesus has for us.

Much of the Christmas season talks about joy during the holidays, but what is joy and how can we practice joy in our everyday lives? Pastor Brian gives us three things that can help us grow joy.

Pastor Rick continues our Advent by speaking about peace. This message is all about where our peace comes from as Christians and how we can maintain our peace in a world where that might feel impossible.

To begin the season of advent, Pastor Rick gives us encouragement and reminds us about our hope not only in this season, but every day of the year: Jesus Christ.

Pastor Rick gives us a stand-alone message; centered around Thanksgiving, about why and how we can live our lives as thank you gifts to God.

Pastor Brian completes our series by speaking on how we can love one another by the way that we serve. Having a heart dedicated to serving God and others keeps the focus off of ourselves and always give us the opportunity to bless others.

Pastor Brian continues our series by speaking about how we can honor God as well as honoring different groups of people who we come into contact with. Ultimately, the quality of our life is determined by the quality of our relationships.

Pastor Rick tells us about forgiveness; what forgiveness is not and how we can come to resolve our hurt from past experiences.

To wrap up our series, Pastor Rick gives us a better understanding of what worry is versus what concern is. Knowing this difference helps us to discern what we're feeling and how to react to our feelings.

Pastor Ricks gives us a roadmap to help us beat one of the most difficult mental battles we can face: depression.

Anxiety has become something that is so prevalent these days, Pastor Rick lays out three simple things that we should do when we face feelings of anxiety!

If we're being honest, most people would say they have dealt with some kind of mental health problem in their life. So how does God call us to handle these struggles when they do come?

To wrap up our series, Pastor Rick emphasizes our need to be humble and stay humble. Our ability to listen and be obedient to the plan that God has for us is vital to living our lives the way God wants us to.

Pastor Rick gives us a way that we can be humble. As we become more humble, God exalts us.

Pastor Rick kicks off our series by talking about how pride is the root of almost every problem. Ultimately, pride can't give us the same things that God can give us. We challenge you with this message to ask yourself: Where is my pride?

To close series, Pastor Rick takes themes from "Champions" to talk about how serving God and others is what we were designed to do! Serving is one of the many ways that we can impact others on a personal level and our entire community when we serve together as a team.

Drawing from themes of the movie "Avatar: The Way of Water" Pastor Brian expands on the idea of guarding your heart. People say 'follow your heart' but will that lead us to what's best for us in the long run? What we allow into our heart will be one of the big indicators of where we are headed.

What do we do when a storm comes? Maybe a family member passes away or we lose our job or we get into a major financial crisis. Jesus tells us plainly that storms WILL happen in our life, so how do we deal with them? Pastor Rick unpacks what it looks like to keep our eyes on Jesus when we have troubles.

Pastor Rick highlights the classic movie remake "The Little Mermaid" and talks about the decisions that Ariel makes that lead her down a certain path and how it can teach us that our decisions have consequences (good and bad!) Our everyday choices that we make matter more than we think so we make each decision with an intentional heart towards God.

This is a special week as we watch Pastor Kevin preach at the Medina Campus for the very first time! Kevin talks about the movie "Indiana Jones" and about blessings. There are different types of blessings, specifically how God blesses us, how we can bless God and how we can bless other people.

Pastor Rick kicks off an annual series that we LOVE! Rick takes the themes that are woven throughout "Mission Impossible" and relates them to how we have also been set out on a mission by God to tell people about Jesus.

To wrap up our series, Pastor Rick discusses the fruit of self-control. This fruit keeps us accountable to who we are and who God is. Consistency in all areas of our lives is a vital piece of being a Christian who strives to be like Jesus.

It's easy to label something as "gentle" and think that it's also weak or timid or etc. Pastor Brian challenges this thought plainly stating that gentleness is NOT weakness or passivity by it's strength that is under control.

We have all heard that God is a faithful God but how does being faithful apply to our lives as Christians? As we've learned about in this series: the fruits of the Spirit are a way that we can reflect the nature of God. Today, let's learn how.

Integrity is an important part of our character. What we say (especially as Christians) should be a reflection of our actions whether other people are watching or not! Pastor Rick gives us an integrity check and how we can develop the kind of integrity that guides us to become more like Jesus.

Pastor Rick takes on kindness as the next fruit of the Spirit in our series. We look at how Jesus was kind to us first and how he set an example for us so that we could show others the same kindness.

Guest speaker Pastor Scott Lackey of New Story Church joins our fruit of the Spirit series by talking about the importance of patience and what can hinder our patience as well as how we can overcome our struggle and acquire a better patience in our spiritual lives.

Pastor Brian continues our series by talking about Peace as a fruit of the Spirit. In the same way that joy is not based on circumstance, peace can also be found in spite of what is going on around us every day.

Pastor Rick continues our series by talking about the second fruit of the spirit: joy. Joy is different from happiness, while happiness is about our circumstances, joy is found outside of our circumstances.

Our series Fruition is all about growing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives where each week we talk about a different "fruit." Pastor Brian kicks off our series on love, and how we can love people the way Jesus did.

If we don't love our jobs, there's a feeling of wanting more. More purpose, more passion, more drive. Pastor Rick talks about the story of David and how he glorified God whether he was herding sheep or King of a nation

Money is one of the biggest stressors when it comes to our life. Pastor Rick talks about how debt can affect our life and gives ways on how to manage our money instead of our money managing us.

Guilt, grief and grudges can be some of the biggest stumbling blocks in our relationship with God and with other people. Pastor Rick talks through how we can turn to Jesus with these feelings and how we can be restored.

Constantly feeling like we have to be perfect can be draining; what's even worse is when we feel like we have to be perfect with God. Pastor Rick encourages us with a message about our desire for perfection and how Jesus can help us.
