What if the Author stepped onto the stage of His own story—not to dazzle from a distance, but to draw near and save? We follow that daring claim from literature and history into the heart of Christmas, where the infinite becomes an infant and the invisible God becomes visible. Grounded in Luke’s nativity and echoed by prophetic voices, we trace the signs that surrounded the birth of Jesus—angels announcing to shepherds, a star guid...

What if Christmas isn’t about cozy sentiment but a royal invasion that shatters winter? Pastor Daniel Justice opens with 1 John 3:8 to claim something fierce and freeing: the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. From there, we trace how that victory moves from doctrine to daily life through the simple, demanding habit Scripture calls abiding.

We start with identity. The enemy keeps us stuck in who we were...

Pastor Jason Smith unpacks the cultural pull to “lord it over” others—chasing power, image, and control—and contrasts it with the basin-and-towel leadership of Jesus. Foot washing is not a sentimental detail; it’s a disruptive definition of authority. From there, we explore the heart of the Gospel: ransom. In a world where debt meant bondage, Jesus paid the price we could never cover, nailing our record to the cross and freeing us ...

The Holy Spirit is not a feeling. He is a person who keeps his promises, whether our hearts are on fire or barely flickering.

Together, we explore how Scripture reframes the inner life: faith over feelings, truth over impressions, and formation over fleeting moments. Drawing from Romans 8 and Galatians 5, we unpack the Spirit’s central aim—to conform us to the image of Jesus—and why that work often progresses through trial...

“Why did Jesus come?”

Many people remember the familiar moments of Christmas, the nativity story, or favorite verses — but miss the deeper purpose behind the coming of Christ. In this message, Pastor Jason Smith shares from Romans 15:7-13 that Jesus came to glorify the Father — by revealing God’s character, fulfilling His ancient promises, and extending unimaginable grace and mercy to undeserving people.

Through vivid stories, biblic...

We trace a line from the fiery furnace to our own trials and show how the Holy Spirit meets us in suffering with real presence, comfort and strength. Scripture leads the way, and a personal story of infertility, adoption and loss brings the promise close.

• Daniel’s furnace as a model of faithful courage
• The Spirit’s promised presence in trials
• Paul’s witness to strength in abandonment and weakness
• Comfor...

Special guest preacher Dr. Richard Taylor joins us this Sunday as we explore how to see people the way God sees them, moving beyond labels and conditions to the image of God in every person. You’ll hear a clear, practical call to use what you already have—faith, presence, a listening ear, a willing hand—instead of waiting for more silver and gold. We discuss missed opportunities at the threshold of our churches, how security and sc...

Pastor Jason Smith opens with a personal story that shows how ordinary faithfulness can lead to extraordinary grace. From there, we dig deep into the promise of Acts 1:8 and the surprising comfort of 1 Corinthians 2, where Paul admits fear and trembling yet chooses plain words about Christ and him crucified.

Pastor Jason discusses what real evangelism looks like on a typical week: praying for specific people by name, askin...

Revival rarely starts on a stage. It begins in kitchens, in quiet prayers, and in everyday courage that crosses lines we once avoided. We share how a “graveyard of missions” like Bihar has become a field alive with faith, and why that matters for anyone who wonders if their prayers still move mountains. We talk honestly about loving enemies through the lens of Naaman’s servant girl, then follow Philip from serving overlooked widows...

The Old Testament saints had to approach God through animal sacrifices, Levitical priests, and a specific temple in Jerusalem, yet they longed for what we have today. Through Jesus Christ, God's Spirit dwells within us directly, and we are the dwelling place of God. While God is always with us individually, there's something uniquely powerful about experiencing the Holy Spirit when believers gather together as the church....

What if the future of your faith begins at your kitchen table? We bring a clear, urgent message about the courage it takes to let God search our relationships and the freedom that follows when we finally face what we’ve been avoiding. Starting with Samuel’s remarkable moment of public integrity at Gilgal, we set a high bar for honesty and humility. Then we turn to the wreckage inside David’s home—Tamar’s trauma, Amnon’s sin, and Ab...

Fear of “doing prayer wrong” keeps so many of us quiet. We challenge that fear head-on by looking at how the Holy Spirit meets us in prayer, confirms our identity as adopted children, and intercedes when our words fall short. No courtly etiquette. No perfect script. Just real access to a Father who wants all of you—joy, pain, doubts, and daily needs.

We start with Romans 8:15–16 to ground prayer in adoption, not anxiety. T...

The journey of spiritual growth must begin with genuine repentance, which goes far beyond feeling remorseful about our failures. True repentance involves a complete transformation of our thinking and desires, actively choosing to walk away from destructive patterns and toward the beauty of God's holiness. This isn't about shame or self-condemnation, but rather a sincere change of heart that redirects our lives toward divi...

We trace a single thread from the cleft of the rock to the cross. Moses begs, Show me your glory, and God answers by proclaiming his name—compassionate and just, merciful and holy. Paul says we now behold that same glory with unveiled faces as the Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ. We unpack why spiritual experience is never severed from revelation, how Ephesians 3 calls us to grasp the vast dimensions of Christ’s love,...

What if prayer isn’t symbolic comfort but real work that God uses to change lives, families, and cities? Pastor Jason Smith opens with a story from a house church he recently visited in India, where a new believer—the first in his village—hosts eighty worshipers in two concrete rooms and radiates a dignity the world can’t explain. From that picture of courage and purpose, we move into James 5 and the deep logic of intercessory pray...

If you’ve ever confused goosebumps for God or assumed the Spirit only moves when everything fits your framework, this one will reset your compass. We open with a wry studio story—reverb mistaken for revival—and then build a sturdy set of guardrails to help you recognize the Holy Spirit without chasing vibes or boxing Him into neat logic. The message is honest, hopeful, and laser-focused on one test: the Spirit glorifies Jesus.

What if prayer isn’t about persuading God, but about being transformed by Him? We step into the Garden of Gethsemane and sit with Jesus in His most vulnerable hour—sorrowful, weighed down, and yet willing to yield, “Not my will, but yours be done.” As we read Matthew 26:36–46, we unpack the tension between desire and obedience, the beauty of honest lament, and the courage that rises when we trust the Father’s heart.

We tal...

What if the most important work God wants to do isn’t through your talent but within your character? We open Galatians 5 and follow Paul’s bold contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, moving from activity and achievement to identity and transformation. No spiritual shortcuts, no legalism—just the strange, freeing path of surrender that lets the Spirit grow what our willpower can’t.

We start wit...

What if confession didn’t start with your guilt, but with God’s character? We walk through Psalm 51 and a simple, memorable framework—appeal, admit, ask, act—that turns confession from a vague ritual into a life-giving practice. Drawing from Exodus 34, Pastor Garrett McCord unpacks the Hebrew layers of God’s heart: rahum, the gut-level parental compassion that refuses to let go, and hesed, the steady covenant loyalty that shows up ...
