Messages on Sin
Stay in lane
We all know the feeling — you’re driving down the road, and suddenly your car drifts. That’s exactly what sin looks like in the Christian life. In this week’s message from our series The Journey Home, Pastor Ryan unpacks the honest struggle every believer faces: knowing what’s right and still veering off course. Drawing from Romans 6–8, he tackles the three ways we try to handle sin on our own — minimizing it, hiding it, and making amends — and why…
U – Turn
In this week’s message from The Journey Home series, Pastor Ryan digs into one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian faith — repentance. It’s not just feeling bad when you get caught, and it’s definitely not trying harder through willpower and self-improvement. True biblical repentance, or metanoia in the Greek, means a complete 180-degree shift in how you see everything — God, yourself, and the world around you. And here’s the part that changes everything: you can’t do…
Dead End
Just like carbon monoxide — odorless, colorless, and silently deadly — sin causes damage you don’t see coming until it’s too late. In this message, Pastor Ryan walks through five real consequences of sin straight from Scripture: it separates us from God, it enslaves us in patterns we can’t break on our own, it places us under God’s righteous wrath, it leaves us spiritually dead — unable to fix ourselves no matter how hard we try — and perhaps most dangerously, it deceives usinto thinking none of…
Wrong Way
🛣️ Life is a highway — but what happens when we’re heading the wrong way? In this message we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in the Christian faith — sin. Using the hilarious scene from Planes, Trains & Automobiles, it paints a picture of how sin blinds us to the fact that we’re going the wrong direction — and how we often don’t even realize it until years later. You’ll discover what the Bible really means by sin…
A Covenant to Restore
Four thousand years ago, God made a promise that would change everything. When humanity had spiraled into wickedness and seemed beyond hope, God chose an unlikely person—an elderly idol worshiper named Abram—and initiated a covenant that would restore relationship between God and people. But here’s what makes this promise absolutely extraordinary: God didn’t just make it, He guaranteed it. In the ancient covenant ceremony, God alone walked through the sacrificed animals, essentially saying, “I will fulfill this promise even if…
Broken Love
Every great love story has a moment when everything falls apart—and God’s love story with humanity is no different. In this powerful message, we walk through Genesis 3 to see how one bite changed everything. From the serpent’s whisper of doubt to humanity’s exile from Eden, discover how sin didn’t just break a rule—it shattered a relationship. But here’s the truth: we can’t appreciate the sweetness of grace until we understand the weight of our sin. This sermon will challenge…
All In: Give God Your Mess
Did you know God wants us to bring Him our mess—not just our best? He wants to be our counselor with whom we share our fears (being let down), failures (letting others down), and faults (letting God down). While our sinful nature tells us to hide, blame, and protect ourselves like Adam did, our new nature in Christ calls us to confess, surrender, and humble ourselves like King David. Using the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi as an illustration, discover…
Flawed Abraham
God has made thousands of promises to us in His word, but often we allow doubt to rob us of the peace that comes from trusting in these promises.
Flawed Adam
Many of us know we can never truly hide from God, but that doesn’t keep us from trying.
