Love doesn’t win championships, build corporate empires, or conquer armies – strength, strategy, fear and influence seem far more powerful. But what if love was actually greater than them all? What if love wasn’t just a virtue, but a person born in a manger? This Christmas, we remember the day Love came to not just to change your life, but to transform our world.
Passage: 1 John 4:9-11
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
The Way in a Manger: The Only Way (00:25:06)
Christmas celebrates more than a birth. It celebrates the arrival of The Way: the only way to God. This may sound exclusive, but it is just the opposite. We are rescued from eternal death not by a religion or rulebook but by a person. Christmas isn’t just about a birth, it’s about an invitation given to everyone.
Passage: John 14:1, 6
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
The Way in a Manger: Prepare the Way (00:33:56)
How do you get ready for Christmas? It’s not by completing your shopping list, filling your schedule with events or even driving out to see family. You get ready for Christmas by getting ready for Jesus. Let’s learn from a man who spent his entire life preparing the way.
Passage: Luke 3:2-16
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
The Way in a Manger: The Wrong Way (00:24:50)
We often talk about our lives using directional terms. “I lost my way... I went the wrong way... I turned my life around.” The Bible uses the same kind of language. But what if “the way” we need to go is more than a direction? Join us this Christmas season as we remember what Christmas is all about: the arrival of The Way in a Manger
Have you ever gotten lost during the Christmas season? We rarely know when we go from “I know my way” to “I’ve lost my way.” By the time we realize we’re lost, we’ve been lost for some time. How do you know if you’ve lost your way in life? How do you know what way is the right way?
Passage: Proverbs 14:12
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Flip the Script: You (00:28:26)
You’ve heard the stories of how God has moved in other people’s lives. Now what are you going to do about it? Jesus didn’t come just for you to think that He’s a good person; He came and died so that you could live. He didn’t just come to change your Sunday morning, but to change your entire life. He didn’t die to make bad people good; He came to make dead people alive. Are you going to live in His Truth?
Passage: James 1:22-27
Speaker: Kevin Stiles
Flip the Script: Paul (00:31:44)
Paul went from being “eager to kill the Lord’s followers” to perhaps being the greatest ambassador for Christ who has ever lived. It all started with an interruption of his routine; a challenge to everything that he knew and held dear. Without Jesus interrupting Paul’s status quo, Paul would have never flipped the script in his life from enemy to ambassador. What if God wants to use that inconvenient or life-shattering interruption in your life to change everything?
Passage: Acts 9:1-31
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Flip the Script: Rahab (00:28:27)
Flip the Script: Rahab
Unlike Moses, we don’t get much of Rahab’s backstory. She is introduced merely as a prostitute. In a foreign city. Far from God’s plan, and far from hope. And yet by the time God is done with her story, she ends up playing a vital role in the ancestry of Israel’s kings, most notably of Jesus Himself. Your past does not determine your future, but it may put you in the right position for something amazing. God has made you and shaped you differently than everyone else around you. Will you use those differences to make a difference?
Passage: Hebrews 11:30-31; Matthew 1:5-6a
Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
Flip the Script: Moses (00:24:29)
Sometimes it feels like our life story has already been written, like it’s too late to change the ending because of what you’ve done or what’s been done to you. But what if it wasn’t too late? What if God is giving you an opportunity to Flip The Script - to change how your story ends? Through this series, we’ll look at lives that were turned upside down - in the best way possible - when they encountered the author of the greatest story ever told.
As a young man, Moses took justice into his own hands and paid the price for it. After 40 years in exile, he trusted God’s plan for justice over his own, and God used that to free an entire nation. No matter how reckless your past may have been or how unqualified you may feel, keep your eyes on the One who is invisible and He will use your past to redeem your future.
Passage: Hebrews 11:23-29
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Where Did it Go? — Mission (00:34:27)
Money is always talking, whispering that we don’t have enough, pushing us to chase more, or shaming us for falling behind. Whether we’re rich or broke, it can easily become our master. But Jesus calls us to something greater: to store up treasures in heaven, where our giving directs our hearts toward what lasts forever. When we put money on mission, as Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 9, our generosity not only meets needs but multiplies gratitude to God and transforms us as givers. The question we each must answer is this: Does money have me, or does God?
Passage: Matthew 6:19-24; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Where Did it Go? — Priority (00:38:16)
We often put ourselves first—spending, paying debt, taxes, and saving—leaving God with whatever is left. In the Old Testament, God commanded His people to tithe as a reminder to trust Him with their first and best, and Jesus raised the bar in the New Testament by teaching that where our treasure goes, our hearts will follow. The widow who gave all she had showed that true generosity comes from faith and surrender, not surplus. We are challenged to “flip the list” by making God our priority with our finances, starting somewhere, and giving out of trust, because God gave first by sending His Son for us.
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Where Did it Go? — Debt (00:30:16)
We all ask it: "Where did it go?" Our paychecks disappear, our budgets feel tight, and financial stress is more normal than financial peace. But the problem isn’t just math—it’s mission. This series explores what Scripture says about debt, tithing, and eternal investment, helping people not just manage money better but trust God more deeply and live more generously. Jesus tells the story of the Rich Fool—a man who thought more stuff would bring more security, but died before he could enjoy it. His mistake wasn’t being rich—it was trusting in riches. In the same way, many today are buried under debt, trying to live lives we can’t afford in pursuit of peace we can’t buy. Debt promises freedom but delivers slavery (Proverbs 22:7). This week challenges us to stop letting money control us and instead take back our margin by putting God first.
Passage: Luke 12:13-21; Proverbs 22:7
Speaker: Josh Edwards
Not Emotional: Envy (00:25:00)
Envy can lead us into any of the three emotions we’ve
already discussed: sadness, anger, and anxiety. Deep down, we are always striving to return to joy. The problem is that we often define joy on our own terms rather than God’s, which makes it elusive.
Paul, however, finds true contentment because his focus is on God and others. He cares about what matters to God—reaching more people for Christ, considering others as more important than himself, and knowing Christ above all else. That is why he can say, “I can do all things through Christ.” His life is consumed with Christ, and because of that, he is not overwhelmed
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Not Emotional: Anxiety (00:32:50)
Anxiety is another emotion that can easily take the driver’s seat in our lives. It can dominate our decisions, shift us from healthy preparedness to unhealthy obsession, and ultimately rob us of peace. While anxiety can serve a purpose—helping us stay alert and safe—how do we learn to walk in a way that brings peace instead of chaos?
Passage: Philippians 4:4-9
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Not Emotional: Anger (00:31:13)
Anger often shows up as our default response when we’re sad, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. It’s also the emotion most likely to bring shame and regret, because it tends to get us into trouble. In Inside Out, anger is shown as a powerful force—and in real life, it can be just as consuming. At its root, anger often comes when our goals or desires are blocked. But what if the problem isn’t just the obstacle—what if it’s our goal that needs to change? What does God say about finding joy instead of anger?
Passage: Philippians 3:1-10;12-14;17-21
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Not Emotional: Sadness (00:28:57)
Emotions can overwhelm us and cloud our perspective—but God created emotions for a purpose. They can motivate us, but they were never meant to control us. In this series, we’ll explore how God’s design for our emotions leads us to seek His purpose, not just temporary relief, and how we can let Him guide us through what we feel.
Sadness can feel all-consuming, shaping our thoughts and even affecting us physically. In Inside Out, everything sadness touches turns blue —a reminder that we can’t ignore this emotion. But how do we let sadness play a healthy role in our lives without letting it take over?
Passage: Philippians 1:9-11, 1 Kings 19
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Follow Me: Life is Better Connected (00:31:30)
Life is better connected. Great things usually happen through teams and families, not just individuals. God didn’t only save you from your sin—He saved you for His body, the church. The people in the church may be different (and sometimes even frustrating), but every one of us has a role, and every one of us is needed. The church is God’s plan to use us, together, to change the world. Are you in?
Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Follow Me: Found People Find People (00:33:42)
What’s important to God should be important to us. It’s no surprise that people matter to God. But what may come as a shock is which people matter to Him: all of them. He doesn’t just love the sheep in the fold—He loves every sheep. If we are truly following Jesus, we must follow Him beyond the safety of our Christian circles and into the world to seek the lost.
Passage: Luke 15:1-7
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Follow Me: Everyone Has a Next Step (00:35:44)
Everyone has a next step with God—but how do we know what it is? In Luke 14:25-35, Jesus describes what following Him looks like. It’s so radical that we must pause and count the cost. Have you done that? Are you ready to take your next step with Jesus?
Passage: Luke 14:25-35
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Follow Me: We Give Because He Gave (00:32:57)
What if money isn’t what we think it is? What if everything we thought we knew about it is wrong? In one of Jesus’ most surprising stories, He praises a dishonest manager—a lying thief—to teach us something unexpected about the true purpose of money. Let’s dive into this unusual parable and discover what Jesus really wants us to understand.
Passage: Luke 16:1-12
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Follow Me: Saved People Serve People (00:34:19)
“Follow me!” It’s an invitation Jesus gives 21 times in the New Testament. But following Jesus is much more than just going for a walk—it means imitating Him and becoming the best possible version of yourself, the person God created you to be. So how do we follow Him? Join us as we explore the five core values of our church—five qualities we grow into when we say “Yes!” to Jesus. To win in football, you get the ball into the end zone. To win in business, you make money. But how do you win at life? Jesus’ teaching and example give us an unexpected answer. We don’t win by becoming richer, smarter, more popular, or more powerful—we win by serving others.
Passage: Romans 12:1-8
Speaker: Josh Edwards
Nothing in Return (00:32:23)
Do you want joy? One of the most dependable happiness engines is gratitude. So, how do we become more grateful? In Luke 17 Jesus tells a difficult story that points us to how we can have greater faith, gratitude and joy. It’s achieved not just by believing Christianity, but by living it out.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 17:5-10

Ground Rules: Attack the Problem, Not the Person (00:22:05)
Conflict is inevitable—but how we handle it makes all the difference. This week’s message explores Rule #3: Attack the problem, not the person, a biblical principle that helps us speak truth without tearing each other down. Instead of letting pride, blame, or hurtful words divide us, we’ll learn how to face issues with humility, grace, and a commitment to real solutions. Together, we’ll discover how God can transform conflict into unity.
Passage: Ephesians 4:29-30; 2 Corinthians 5:21
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
Ground Rules: Keep Current (00:32:27)
Healthy relationships require maintenance. Unlike fashion, unresolved conflict in relationships doesn’t improve with time—it grows worse. Ephesians 4 reminds us: don’t let anger control you or linger. Keep current—deal with issues quickly, forgive fully, and pursue peace like God did with us through Jesus.
Passage: Ephesians 4:26-28; Galatians 4:4-6
Speaker: Josh Jones
Ground Rules: Be Honest (00:28:58)
Wherever people come together, conflict is inevitable. Relationships can be a source of both deep joy and real pain. That’s why this series is here: to meet you right where you are—at home, at work, and in your community—and offer God’s wisdom for navigating relational challenges. We’re calling them Ground Rules: practical, biblical guidance to help you build healthier relationships marked by healing, hope, and lasting peace.
Relationships thrive on truth. This message kicks off a on “Ground Rules” for healthy relationships, starting with Ground Rule #1: Be Honest. Ephesians 4:25 reminds us that honesty isn’t just about not lying—it’s about speaking truth in love, avoiding gossip, and committing to integrity. When we build relationships on truth, we create space for trust, healing, and real transformation.
Speaker: Josh Jones
Father’s Day: Built in the Boring (00:31:12)
This Father’s Day message challenges the myth that great dads are made in big, unforgettable moments. Instead, it highlights the quiet power of ordinary, consistent, and faithful routines in everyday life. Grounded in Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6, the message calls dads to love God first, lead with presence, and use the time they have to shape their children’s hearts.
Passage: Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesians 6:4
Speaker: Bob Kadlecik
