In Be the Church, we open the book of Acts to rediscover God’s design for the Church—not as a building, but as a people. Scripture calls the Church the ekklesia—those called out by God and sent to live on mission together. Through the story of the early Church, we see how the Holy Spirit fills, leads, and empowers ordinary people to live with purpose and bold faith.

This series explores what it means to follow Jesus with a new identity, a clear mission, and a devoted life rooted in God’s Word. As we walk through Acts, we’re invited to move beyond attending church and step into living as the Church—wherever God has placed us.

Filled with God

Matt Nickoson

In this message, Pastor Matt unpacks the true meaning of the Church, explaining that while the word “church” is often associated with a building, Jesus used the word ekklesia—a gathering of called-out people. Teaching from Scripture, he reminds us that the Church is not a place, but a people where God dwells through the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are now living temples, called to live out our faith together as the Church on mission.

The message calls us to respond by surrendering our burdens, sins, and pride to Jesus—offering our lives as a gift to Him this Christmas.

Underneath the Tree

Matt Nickoson

That's What Christmas Means To Me

Matt Nickoson

Chosen To Worship

Chosen

Matt Nickoson

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Matt Nickoson

In this message, Pastor Matt teaches on Ephesians 5:33, teaching that a wife’s respect for her husband is the counterpart to a husband’s love.

When A Man Loves A Woman

Is It Too Late To Say I'm Sorry?

Matt Nickoson

Is It Always In The Blood?

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt teaches how sin and unhealthy behaviors can pass through family lines, as with Abraham and Isaac.

Fix You

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt discusses how our lives are like trees bearing fruit that others experience, but fear often drives the unhealthy behaviors and sins that produce bitter fruit. Looking at Genesis 2–3, he examines how Adam and Eve’s fear-driven choices led to shame and broken relationships. The solution isn’t trying to fix ourselves or others—it’s allowing Jesus to transform our root system. When fear is replaced with faith, new fruit begins to grow, but this requires surrendering daily and dying to old ways as we follow Him.

Weak

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt launched our new 9-week series by asking why we keep doing the things we know we shouldn’t. Using the picture of a tree, he showed how fear often fuels the unhealthy patterns and sinful behaviors in our lives. Just like a tree produces fruit from its roots, lasting change only comes when we surrender to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us from within. As Ezekiel 11 reminds us, God promises to replace our hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.

You Will Never Go Through It Alone

Matt Nickoson

In this message on Psalm 23:5, Pastor Matt explains that our true enemy is not other people but Satan, who uses lies to make us question God's goodness and our identity. By replacing “but I” thoughts with “but God” truths, spending time in God’s presence, renewing our minds, and staying connected with other believers, we can take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and refuse to give the enemy a seat at our table.

Jesus is a Good Shepherd

Lead Different
