In this message, we explore the Fall Season of the Soul—a season that feels less like cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice, and more like a stripping away of old comforts and control. Drawing from Matthew 16, we see how Jesus’ journey toward the cross was both painful and necessary, and how our own “fall” seasons often prepare us for deeper renewal. When we stop resisting, micromanaging, or denying transition, we discover that God’s pre...
Spiritual growth isn’t a straight line from point A to point B—it moves in rhythms and seasons, just like the world God designed. Each season of the soul—summer, fall, winter, and spring—brings both challenges and invitations to grow. The key is to discern what season you're in, and surrender to God's work in it.
Summer isn’t the absence of hard things—it’s the season of God’s abundance, presence, and harvest. In this message from our Seasons of the Soul series, we reframe what “summer” really means in our walk with Jesus. Discover how to posture your heart to experience God’s presence, steward spiritual fruit, and bless others in every season.
In John 11, Jesus turned Lazarus’ death into a moment that revealed God’s glory. Crowds were divided—some grieving, some doubting, some criticizing—but Jesus declared, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Cultural moments, like the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, also draw crowds and divide opinions. But they can become revival moments when God’s people respond by speaking the gospel no...
What does it mean to live a life of honor? Scripture shows us that honoring God and people is central to following Christ. This message unpacks a biblical framework of honor and how it impacts our ability to work together, across generational lines, to advance the kingdom of God.
We are always one generation away from either revival or spiritual drift. In John 4, Jesus bridges centuries of division with the Samaritan woman, showing us how to live out and pass on a real, undistorted faith.
This message explores Paul’s words in Galatians 6, where serving others is shown as the pathway from fragile faith to lasting maturity. It reflects on the struggles that often pull people away from serving and how humility, perseverance, and shared commitment strengthen both families and the church. At the heart of it is the reminder that the gospel is most alive when God’s people carry one another’s burdens in love.
In Acts 2 and Acts 5, the early church met both in large public gatherings and in small personal spaces—worshipping boldly, growing deeply, and proclaiming Jesus everywhere. In this message, we explore why we need both the “Big Room” and the “Small Room” for a vibrant, Spirit-filled faith, and how God uses these spaces to shape us and send us on mission.
What happens when we start celebrating ministry wins more than the One who gave them? In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two disciples who return amazed by the power they witnessed—but Jesus redirects their joy. This message explores how our identity in Christ should outweigh our accomplishments for Him. Discover how to find lasting joy not in what you do, but in being known and loved by God.
Rejection doesn’t have to push us into fear or judgment—it can lead us to mercy. In this message from Luke 10 and Acts 3–4, we see how Peter and John responded to rejection with boldness, love, and obedience. True harvest workers notice the overlooked, offer what only Jesus can, and trust God with the outcome.
Learn how to slow down, love courageously, and handle rejection with maturity as you follow Jesus into the mess of...
What holds many Christians back from sharing the gospel with friends and family? Often, it’s a sense of inadequacy or fear. In this opening message for Waymaker.Church’s 2025 Year of Harvest, we explore Luke 9–10, where Jesus sends out seventy-two ordinary followers—not just the twelve—to prepare the way for His arrival.
This message reminds us that we are not called to save people, but to prepare the way for Jesus to meet...
What if God wants to move in the next generation now, not later? In this message from Joel 2 and Acts 2, we explore how the Holy Spirit is already being poured out on kids, and students. The world isn’t waiting to shape them—so the Church can’t wait either. Discover how to believe it, make space for it, and live it out as we empower Spirit-led young people to follow Jesus today.
What does it really mean to live a holy life? Is it more about avoiding sin—or about actively doing good? In this message from Titus 2 and 3, we explore how grace doesn’t just save us from something, but calls us toward something greater. Holiness is not about withdrawal or judgment, but about love in action. When grace reshapes our desires, we don’t just say “no” to sin—we say “yes” to generosity, hospitality, and Spirit-led livin...
What if the biggest threat to holiness isn’t choosing the wrong path—but choosing the easy one?
In this message from Hebrews 12, we explore how holiness is more than moral behavior—it’s a Spirit-empowered pursuit that demands endurance, intention, and surrender. From the danger of bitterness to the compromise of impulse decisions, Scripture reveals the subtle ways we drift from holiness and how to return.
Whether you&a...
In a world obsessed with proving worth and chasing success, what if the reason we're exhausted isn’t just because life is hard—but because we’re trying to be someone God never asked us to be? What if we could live in acceptance? In this message from Set Apart, we explore 1 Corinthians 1 and the radical truth that God chooses what the world calls weak, foolish, and unimpressive to reveal His glory. You don’t have to hustle to b...
What does it really mean to be holy? In this message from Galatians 5, we explore how the Christian life is not about rule-keeping or rule-breaking—but about walking in step with the Spirit. Paul warns against two distortions of holiness: legalism (trying to earn God’s favor) and license (abusing grace to justify sin). Both miss the point. True holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about transformation through the power of the Holy ...
"God didn’t just build us to start—He built us to finish well."
What if the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for is on the other side of not giving up?
In this powerful message from Week 3 of the Built For This series, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks how God strengthens us to endure, even when we feel tired, discouraged, or ready to quit. Anchored in Philippians 1:6 and Nehemiah 6 & 12, this sermon reminds us that the Gospel i...
🔥 What if the real threat to our calling isn’t failure—but settling for less than what God saved us for?
In Week 2 of our Built For This series, Jon Dupin dives deep into Ephesians 2:8–10 and the story of Nehemiah, reminding us that God’s grace doesn’t just save us—it sends us. Too often, we settle. We stop stepping into the hard places. We avoid what’s broken. But we were never meant to live safely on the sidelines. We w...
In this powerful kickoff to our "Built For This" series, Pastor Jon Dupin explores how God uses seasons of loss, burnout, and disappointment not to break us, but to build us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1 and John 16:33, we’re reminded that renewal begins in surrender, not strength, and that the Church is built to rise, not because of our efforts, but because of Jesus’ victory.
