Weekend Teaching

Ever felt too reluctant or afraid to step into what God is asking of you? In Exodus 7–12 we see Moses wrestle with his own fear and insecurity, yet God continues to show His unmatched power, His patient pursuit, and His ultimate rescue. This story reminds us that God’s deliverance is never about our strength but about His presence and power at work through us. Through the showdown with Pharaoh, the plagues that confronted Egypt’s false gods, and the first Passover pointing us to Jesus, we see a God who rescues His people and invites us to trust Him. Even in our weakness, He is faithful to deliver, and His rescue requires our response.

Wednesday Night Community is back! Join for The Bible that Jesus Read: 11 Weeks Through the Old Testament. We’ll explore the very Scriptures Jesus studied, quoted, and proclaimed as pointing to Him, uncovering how His story was written centuries before His arrival in Bethlehem.

Have you ever wondered if God really works through the ordinary parts of life? In Exodus 3, Moses was simply tending sheep when he encountered the burning bush, a reminder that even in mundane seasons, God is present and preparing us. When Moses turned aside to see, his curiosity became the doorway to a holy encounter. In this message from Fire & Cloud: Encountering the Presence of God, we see how God calls us to slow down, pay attention, and surrender to His presence. Like Moses, we are invited to recognize that every moment, no matter how routine, can become holy ground when we respond in reverence and trust. God is not distant. He is always at work, drawing us closer, shaping our character, and inviting us to step toward the fire of His presence.

Ever feel like God is far away? Desert seasons can feel dry, confusing, and lonely—but they may be the very place God is shaping you most. In this message from Fire & Cloud: A Desert Season, we look at the life of Moses in Exodus 2 and discover how God uses solitude, healing, and preparation in the desert to draw us closer to Him. No season is wasted. Even in the desert, God is present.

The story of Moses in Exodus shows us that God is always leading His people out of something and into something greater. Moses’ life begins in chaos, marked by abandonment, identity struggles, and dysfunction. Yet, God uses his broken story to lead Israel out of bondage and into freedom. In the same way, our stories—both the good and the painful—are redeemed and woven into God’s larger story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. To find our way back to God, we must first know our story, bring it to Him, and allow Him to transform it. About Timberline Church At Timberline Church, our mission is simple: Let Love Live.

This message closes out our Stories I Thought I Knew series with one of the most well-known accounts in Scripture: Daniel and the lions’ den. Daniel refused to compromise his faith, even when it meant being thrown into a pit surrounded by lions. Instead of fear, he chose trust. God’s power shut the lions’ mouths and turned what looked like certain defeat into a testimony of deliverance. What about you? What are the “lions” in your life right now—fear, pressure, temptation, or the urge to compromise? This story challenges us to hold on to faith when everything around us seems impossible. Join us as we reflect on how to stand firm in the face of trials, how to trust God with the outcomes we cannot control, and how to live with courage no matter what threatens to shake our faith. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live without compromise, this message will encourage and challenge you to let God’s presence carry you through. About Timberline Church

What if everything you thought you knew about Jonah was wrong? This isn't just a cute children's story about a man and a whale—it's one of the most sophisticated pieces of satirical literature in Scripture, written like a divine Saturday Night Live skit. The book of Jonah uses comedy, irony, and extreme scenarios to expose something uncomfortable: how far we can be from God's heart while bearing His name. From a prophet who runs from God's call to pagan sailors who are more spiritually aware than God's own messenger, every absurd detail serves as a mirror reflecting our own pride, prejudices, and resistance to God's mercy. But here's the beautiful twist—God uses imperfect, reluctant people to accomplish His perfect purposes. Just as Jonah's worst sermon in history achieved the greatest revival, God can work through our flaws and failures. The question isn't whether we're qualified enough, but whether we're humble enough to let God's mercy flow through us, even to people we think don't deserve

In this sermon Pastor Aaron Hanson reframes the familiar story of David and Goliath, moving beyond the popular cultural interpretation of an underdog defeating a champion through skill and training. Instead, it reveals that God is the true hero of this narrative, not David. The story demonstrates how God uses the most unlikely people in extraordinary ways—not the most talented, but the most willing and available. The forty-day period of Goliath's taunting represents a season of testing and preparation that Israel endured, similar to other biblical forty-day periods like Noah's flood, Moses on Mount Sinai, and Jesus in the wilderness. This testing season becomes preparation for the next assignment God has in store. The message emphasizes four key principles for accomplishing God's purposes in our lives. First, we must guard and cultivate our hearts, as everything we do flows from them. Second, we should view every season—even difficult ones—as preparation for our next assignment. Third, w

Take a break! Maybe you need to hear that. In our always-on culture of chronic exhaustion, Pastor Mackenzie invites us to consider that "rest isn't the reward, it's the starting point" - a revolutionary perspective grounded in God's own example. What might it look like to resist our productivity-obsessed world by embracing intentional rest as a gift rather than something we must earn? How would we live differently as a church if we all committed to practice rest with an intentional sabbath day?

We’re kicking off a brand new series this weekend called "I Needed to Hear That." Each week, we’ll unpack messages that speak directly to real-life struggles, doubts, and hopes—truths we didn’t even know we needed until we heard them. Join us for the livestream and be reminded: you’re not alone, and God is still speaking.
