We join to celebrate all the brave steps taken over the last six weeks. We celebrate the success and victory in stepping out in bravery, into a calling from the Father.

The message unfortunately was not recorded. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Brave (week 3)
Andy reminds us that in order to move closer to your kingdom goal, you must fully leave behind your old self. You must let go of your old identify, and give yourself only the option to move forward in your identity as a child of God.
Brave (week 2)
Andy assures us that while there are storms in our lives, calling out to Jesus has the power to calm the storm.
Unfortunately, the message was not recorded this week. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Brave (week 1)
Chris prompts us to ask ourselves, “What is the heading Jesus is setting for your life?” It will probably sound crazy. It may require more than you have to give. But the heading he gives us always involves community. And it will blow you away.
Preparing for More: Resurrection
The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 6:1-14 if you’ve received the gift of God, by faith, then you received Jesus and your old nature dies and you are resurrected with Him. But we often still act as though sin and death has a hold on us. Andy reminds us that by His sacrifice we really are free.
Letting Go: Scarcity is Expected
Unfortunately, the message was not recorded this week. We apologize for any inconveniences.
Based out of John 12:20-33, Chris explored how clinging leads to scarcity, but letting go leads to abundance. A reminder for us all to let go of your life, and hand it to God.
Preparing for More: Letting Go of Shame
Andy discusses John 3:14-21, where we find our unshakeable identity as children of God, despite any shame we feel.
Preparing for more: Going through the motions
Drew Brennan leads us through John 2:13-22, where Jesus clears out the temple of those who were turning God’s house into a marketplace.
Preparing for more: Saving comes through clinging
Unfortunately, the message was not recorded this week. The scripture used was Mark 8:31-38. Nate spoke on taking up our cross and the challenges we face.
Preparing for More: Doing Defines Me
The first Sunday in Lent, Chris leads us through Mark 1:9-15 as we consider letting go of the belief that doing defines us.
tribe::fight (week 6)
Josh from Fair Haven visits again to wrap up our Tribe series. He addresses how conflict can be very beneficial to a community.
tribe::send (week 5)
Nate joins us to discuss what it means to be sent and to send. A community of faith sends out ambassadors to the kingdom, and being sent means you never go alone.
tribe::transition (week 4)
The Stewards and Staff hold a family meeting, walking us through the changes coming as the Dragt family follows a new calling from God.
Unfortunately, there were technical difficulties, and this message was not recorded. If you have questions, please email stewards@thebanchonline.org, Chris@thebranchonline.org or andy@thebranchonline.org.
We as a church will be moving together to address changes as they come, trusting in God’s provision.
tribe::carry (week 3)
Chris continues our Tribe series, looking at when we recognize our own burdens, then as a Tribe, we can better carry each other’s burdens.
tribe::form (week 2)
Guest pastor Josh Wall from Fair Haven Church continues our Tribe series, reflecting on how we are all formed by the community around us.
tribe::trust (week 1)
Chris kicks off our series on what it means to be a tribe (a Branch).
1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12, 21-25; Proverbs 3:5
A Life of Gratitude
Chris and Judy explore how we can live not just moments, but an entire life of gratitude. We must be deliberate and diligent in our gratitude, grateful for sorrows and joys.
