The Church of Eleven22

What happens when the defender steps down from the wall?

We are at war. Not against flesh and blood—but against an enemy who would love nothing more than to take men out of the fight. In this message, Pastor Joby calls men to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and act like men as commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14.

From pride and worry to laziness, isolation, and lust—the enemy uses every tactic to destroy those called to prote...

What happened to godly masculinity?

In this powerful kickoff to the Stand Firm and Act Like Men series, Pastor Joby Martin challenges the cultural narrative and calls men back to their God-given purpose.

From Genesis to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we see that manhood isn’t about muscles, money, or machismo — it’s about being a prophet, priest, king, provider, and protector. God designed men to work with purpose, obey with courage, and ...

What if grace isn’t tame or polite—but powerful enough to break chains, change hearts, and carry us home?

Grace isn’t a soft word for a hard world. It’s the fierce, pursuing love of God that goes first, finds us at our lowest, and refuses to let go. From John Newton’s story of rebellion and redemption to Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, we’re reminded that grace is more than a doctrine—it’s a Person. In this final message of the Wor...

What do you do when the battle isn’t out there—but inside your own heart?

We all get fired up about the war out there—but the greatest battle is often the one within. In week four of Worship is War, Pastor Joby unpacks the story behind “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and the confession that still speaks to every believer: “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.”

Through Romans 7, we’re reminded that even when our hearts drift, God’s...

What if worship isn’t just singing, but fighting?

Worship isn’t just music—it’s war for your soul. From Carl Boberg’s thunderstorm poem that became How Great Thou Art to David’s praise in Psalm 145, we see that worship is deeply personal, fully surrendered, generational, and rooted in gratitude.

But in the middle of distractions, selfish desires, and the enemy’s lies, worship becomes warfare. It’s the battle to keep our attention a...

What do you do when God does not answer your prayers the way you hoped, or when He does not explain Himself at all? From Horatio Spafford’s heartbreaking loss that gave birth to the hymn It Is Well to Jesus’ difficult teaching in John 6, Pastor Joby Martin shows us that worship is not a warm-up or background music. Worship is war.

In this message, you will see that when life presses in and the valley feels overwhelming, worship bec...

This isn’t a concert. It’s not a show. This is war. Worship is a weapon God has placed in the hands of His people to push back the darkness and declare victory in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Joby unpacks how worship crushes fear, silences the enemy, and reminds us that because Jesus lives, we fight from victory, not for it.

What battle do you need to fight through worship today?

Episode Mentions:

• Scripture Passage: Luke 10:...

What others meant for evil, God meant for good.

In this Saturated message, Lysa TerKeurst walks us through Joseph’s story in Genesis to remind us that pain is not pointless. From betrayal to prison to Pharaoh’s palace, Joseph’s life reveals the power of God’s timing and the truth that “with God, there is always a meanwhile.” When life feels unfair or delayed, God is still writing a greater story.

Are you trusting God with your “mea...

What happens when Christians stop short of God’s promises? They die in the wilderness of mediocrity.

In this message from Saturated, Pastor Phil Hopper invites us to consecrate ourselves as Israel once did at the Jordan. The call is the same today: stop managing sin, surrender fully, and trust God to part the waters. On the other side is resurrection, freedom, and the life He always intended.

If God calls us to more, why would we s...

What happens when God’s hand comes on a church? Entire cities are transformed.

In this message from Saturated, Pastor Jon Tyson unpacks Acts 11:19-30 and shows us the five unmistakable marks of God’s hand on His people: radical conversions, category-defying community, unprecedented generosity, destiny-releasing leadership, and a new cultural identity in Christ. This isn’t theory. This is power that turns brokenness into revival and...

We’re great at sitting, but Jesus told us to go. From his passion for the gospel, family hunting stories, and even a bar room encounter that changed everything, Willie Robertson shares how the call of Jesus moves us out of comfort and into the Great Commission. Matthew 28 is not theory, it is movement: make disciples, baptize, teach. 

In Acts 18 we see a church on the move as Priscilla and Aquila opened their home, Apollos was corr...

One moment Elijah is standing in victory on Mount Carmel. The next, he’s weary, discouraged, and ready to quit. How do you finish well when life feels heavy and faith feels small?

In this finale from 1 Kings 19 through 2 Kings 2, Pastor Joby takes us through Elijah’s last chapters where fear, failure, and frailty meet the faithfulness of God. From the still small voice in the cave to the fiery chariots of heaven, we discover that G...

One moment Elijah is calling down fire from heaven. The next, he’s hiding in a cave ready to give up. What happened?

In this raw story from 1 Kings 19:8-13, Pastor Matt Carter walks us into Elijah’s dark night of the soul, where fear, anxiety, and depression threatened to undo his faith. We discover that even in the cave, God does not abandon His children. Instead, He pursues Elijah in his failure, restores him with kindness, and r...

Everyone says they’re “fine”—but what if you’re not? Depression. Fear. Suicide. These are real battles, and the Bible doesn’t shy away from them.

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from calling fire down from heaven to collapsing under despair. Pastor Joby Martin and guest Rebecca Maxwell cut through the silence to confront the mental health crisis head-on. You’ll hear raw truth, why the enemy attacks your mind, and how Jesus meets you in ...

Have you ever felt caught between two worlds—longing for God but clinging to idols?

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls God’s people to stop wavering. On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cried out in vain, but Elijah prayed—and fire fell from heaven. Through this story, Pastor Joby invites us to examine where we place our trust and to remember that our God never fails. Whether in drought, in doubt, or in an impossible situation, He is en...

What kind of man—or woman—are you becoming? In a time of compromise, corruption, and fear, Elijah stood firm. Confronting kings, resisting evil, and obeying God no matter the cost, he shows us what strong and good leadership looks like — for both men and women.

In this week’s message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to reject fear, refuse passivity, and live with the courage that comes from the Spirit of God. Wheth...

What do you do when you’re staring at an impossible situation? In the middle of famine and heartbreak, Elijah is confronted with what looks like an impossible situation — a widow’s son has died. Her hope is gone, and her faith is hanging by a thread.

In this week’s message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Joby shows us that even in the darkest moments, God invites us to bring what little faith we have and trust Him to do what only He can do...

What’s the last thing God told you to do… and are you doing it?

When God told Elijah to “Arise and go,” it didn’t make sense. He was sent to an unlikely place, to meet an unlikely person, with an impossible need. But Elijah trusted and obeyed—and God provided every step of the way.

In this message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Ryan Britt reminds us: God’s commands always come with promises, but obedience still requires trust.

What if your calling didn’t depend on your résumé but your obedience? In a time of political chaos and spiritual darkness, Elijah enters the biblical narrative from the hills of Tishbe with no credentials, no intro, and no pedigree—but full of the power of God.

In this first message from our new series, Pastor Joby walks us through the moment Elijah enters the biblical story and reminds us: God often chooses the overlooked and unde...
