Cultivate Church

Life rarely goes the way we plan, but Christmas reminds us that God brings joy in the most unexpected people, places, and ways. From a manger in Bethlehem to the surprising work He’s doing in our own lives, this message invites us to see how God brings a reason to rejoice when He shows up where we least expect it.

Waiting is one of the hardest things that we do. It test our patience, our resolve, and our trust. But what happens when we wait? What is God doing in the still and silent moments.

Of all of the many ways we can encounter God, it is possible because of His heart for us. In this message we discover how our encounters are driven by a deep love and commitment that God has for us.

In this message, Free Spin, we’ll look at how God gives us another chance when life falls apart. Through the story of Ruth, we’ll see how His providence, protection, and provision turn what feels like the end into a brand new beginning. When you stay faithful in the ordinary, God can set you up for an extraordinary “as it happened” moment.

What if success isn’t what you see, but what God sees? True success isn’t about what you have, it’s about how you handle what God gives you.

What we sow today matters for tomorrow. Learn how intentional choices and investments shape your life and the lives of those around you.

When it feels like God is silent or slow to answer, we start to wonder if He even hears us. Waiting is hard. But a delay doesn't mean denial. God hasn't forgotten you. In this message, we discover what to do when you have drawn the straw of delay.

Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die. It doesn’t just live in our hearts, it leaks into our words, our relationships, and our future. In this message we’ll discover how to let go of bitterness and live free by choosing to be kind, to suffer with others, and to forgive as Christ forgave us.

Anxiety has a way of wrapping itself around our thoughts, making us feel trapped in fear and what-ifs. In this message we discover God's way to not only deal with anxiety but to overcome it.

Defeat doesn’t have to be the end. In this message, we learn how to respond in moments of doubt and defeat. The short straw of defeat doesn’t have to break you. It can build you.

We all live by a value system whether we’ve defined it or not. Our values guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and influence our legacy. America values family, freedom, and success, but what happens when those values become disconnected from biblical truth? In this message we discover how to be rooted in values. 

Culture says what is true for me might not be true for you. So how do we know what truth is? In this message we  discover the power of truth in our lives that comes from being rooted in God's Word.

Have you ever thought, "there has to be more to life than this?" We all want to know what the "purpose" is. In this message we discover how to find our purpose and how to live it out.

The miracle of Easter is that the door on that tomb could not hold Him and the door of death could not keep Him. He unlocked them all. And because of Easter, He can unlock the doors that we have locked ourselves behind. In this message we discuss the miracle of Easter and what it means for us.

Life is really a lot like assembling furniture. You start off confident. “How hard can it be?” But then you find yourself on the floor having a meltdown over a nightstand. Suffering exposes how prepared (or unprepared) we really are. It doesn’t cause the weakness, it reveals it. 

In this message we will discover how to overcome suffering.

Shame has a way of keeping us trapped by what we’ve done or what’s been done to us. It whispers lies about our worth, our identity, and our future. But the good news of Jesus is that He doesn’t just cover our shame, He kills it. You may feel dead in your shame, but Jesus came to raise you to life.

What do you do when you’re on "call waiting" with God? In this message we’ll discover what to do when we’re sharing Jesus with others, but nothing seems to happen. Just because you can’t see the progress doesn’t mean God isn’t moving!

How many times have we ‘missed the call’ not from a friend, but from God? Every day, He places people in our lives who need to hear the Gospel, yet we often overlook them. In this message, we’ll identify the people God is calling us to reach.

Verizon changed the trajectory of their company with a simple, relatable, and memorable ad that asked one question: "Can you hear me now?" In this message, we will learn to do the same with the greatest message of all.

In a world of information overload, there's one message that truly matters. Today, we're talking about why sharing our faith isn't a suggestion - it's a mission.

Just like a real family, we all have a role, and when we work together, we become stronger. No matter who you are, you belong in God’s family!

Let’s make this year the start of something eternal as we build habits that bring us closer to His heart every single day!

We are closing one year and beginning another. As we close out 2024 many of us are looking forward to what is ahead in 2025. Others feel dread to start another year. Some of us look back in thankfulness for all 2024 had. Others look back in pain. Regardless of what is packed in our bag before we begin again, we need to be prepared. In this message we discuss three things we need in order to live life on purpose this year.

Merry Christmas! Join us for candle lighting, carols, communion, and a Christmas message.

There are two kinds of people in this world. There are those who see a penny and pick it up, and there are those who see a penny and leave it on the ground.

In this message we discover what the Bible teaches us about counting our pennies.
