The Vision | Parkville Promise

God is calling us closer—to trust Him more deeply and to care about what He cares about. This message reminds us that following Jesus is personal before it’s ever a project. It’s about lives, hope, and joining God in His rescue mission for people near and far. Discover the vision behind Parkville Promise and how we’re being invited to lift up Jesus, live on mission, and step into a season of bold faith and shocking generosity together.

Forgiving Spirit | I Declare - Part 6 | Luke Erickson

This week, we learned what it means to live forgiven—and to forgive. As we close this series, we declare a commitment to live with a forgiving spirit. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is near, and at its center is forgiveness. We’re challenged to remember how much we’ve been forgiven and what it looks like to extend that same grace to others in a divided world. Forgiveness isn’t easy, and it doesn’t ignore pain—but it leads to freedom.

Godly Grit | I Declare - Part 5 | Ben Cachiaras

This week, we’re drawing a line in the snow and declaring who we’re called to be in Christ. After focusing on consistency, responsibility, and wisdom, we’re leaning into a powerful missing ingredient: godly grit—the perseverance to keep pedaling even when life feels uphill. From biblical truth to real-life stories, this message explores why struggle often produces strength, how God uses trials to mature us, and why quitting isn’t part of our calling. If you’re facing something hard right now, this message will encourage you to stay in the race, find your support team, and keep your eyes on what matters most.

Wisdom | I Declare - Part 4 | Jared Fox

This year, we are declaring wisdom in a world filled with noise, opinions, and endless information. Biblical wisdom goes beyond knowing right from wrong. It teaches us how to live faithfully in the gray spaces of everyday life. Drawing from Proverbs and the life of Jesus, this message explores how true wisdom begins with reverence for God and is formed through immersion in Scripture, obedience to God’s ways, and life-giving, Christ-centered community. Wisdom is not accidental. It is cultivated by following Jesus and allowing His truth to shape our thinking, our decisions, and the way we live each day.

Responsibility | I Declare - Part 3 | Ben Cachiaras

We’re not making resolutions, we’re making declarations. This message calls us to move from “I hope” to “I declare” by taking responsibility for our lives with God’s help and the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of blaming others or living with a victim mentality, we’re challenged to look in the mirror, own our part, and take action, because faith without action is dead. From Genesis to the teachings of Jesus, Scripture shows that God designed us to be responsible people who grow, heal, and overcome. You may have been hurt, wronged, or even victimized, but in Christ you don’t have to stay stuck. Real transformation begins when we stop the blame game, embrace repentance, and step forward in faith, declaring that the buck stops with us.

Consistency | I Declare - Part 2 | Ben Cachiaras

As a new year begins, let's choose to move away from empty resolutions and instead make bold declarations about who we are becoming. Real change doesn’t come from hoping things will be different, but from living with consistency, doing daily what truly matters, even when growth feels slow. By starting small, staying patient, planning for failure, and learning to love the process, transformation will take root in every area of life. This is an invitation to stop drifting, step out of autopilot, and declare a life of purpose, faith, and steady obedience in the year ahead.

Necessary Endings | I Declare! - Part 1 | Ben Cachiaras

New beginnings start with honest endings. Let's close out 2025 together by discovering the freedom that comes when we let go of what holds us back and make room for what God wants to grow.
In this opening message of the "I Declare" series, you're invited to identify what needs to stop so you can move into the new year with clarity, freedom, and purpose.
We often approach January focused on what we want to add—new goals, new habits, new commitments. But wisdom is sometimes subtractive. Before we can fully embrace who God is calling us to be, we need to take an honest look at what's been weighing us down and have the courage to let it go.
This series is about stepping out of fear, shame, and spiritual passivity and learning to declare—and live—what God says is true. It starts here, with a single question: What necessary ending is waiting for you on the other side of this year?

A Savior Is Born! | Hark - Part 5 | Ben Cachiaras

What is Christmas really all about? In a world filled with stress, fear, and brokenness, the angel's announcement to the shepherds still speaks today: "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy for all people. Today a Savior has been born to you." This Christmas Eve message explores the meaning behind two powerful words—Savior and Christ—and why they matter for each of us. Like hostages rescued from darkness, we're invited to trust the One who came gently among us, not to condemn, but to offer the rescue and life we long for. Whether you're eager and expectant or cautious and skeptical, this message is an invitation to consider: isn't it about time?

For all the people! | Hark - Part 4 | Luke Erickson

Do you ever wonder if the good news of Christmas is really for you? In this message, we explore the angel's announcement that continues to echo across the centuries: "good news of great joy for ALL people." Through Scripture and real stories from people in our community, we discover what it means to belong—not because of our credentials, past, or status—but because of Jesus. From shepherds on the margins to tax collectors at the table, Jesus consistently crossed every line to reach those who felt most like outsiders. This Christmas, discover how God is still redrawing lines and extending an invitation meant for everyone.

Great Joy! | Hark - Part 3 | Ben Cachiaras

If Christmas is supposed to be "good news of great joy," why do so many of us feel anything but joyful? In a world marked by anxiety, comparison, and heaviness, this message explores what it really means to experience the kind of joy the angels announced—not a temporary happiness dependent on circumstances, but a deep-rooted, defiant joy anchored in Jesus.
Discover the difference between chasing happiness (which comes and goes) and cultivating joy (which remains). Like a tree that appears barren in winter yet draws life from deep roots beneath the frozen ground, we can find a joy that holds—even through grief, struggle, and uncertainty. This message invites you to untether your joy from circumstances and ground it in the unchanging faithfulness of God.
