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 ...
Have you ever wondered why you seem drawn to certain aspects of ministry while others feel like a struggle? The answer might lie in understanding how the Holy Spirit has uniquely gifted you.
Drawing a powerful contrast between the ill-fated British Light Brigade of 1854 and God's provision for believers, Pastor Daniel Justice illuminates how God has strategically equipped every Christian for meaningful service. Unlike...
Prayer transcends mere physical posture—it's a disposition of the heart, a learned desperation that connects us with eternity. When our anxious thoughts threaten to overwhelm us, God offers not just comfort, but a complete prescription for peace through His Word.
Pastor Jason Smith delivers a powerful and practical guide to praying through anxiety using Philippians 4:4-9 as a divine roadmap. Rather than simply command...
Have you ever looked back at something from the past—like asbestos snow in The Wizard of Oz or radioactive children's toys—and wondered, "What were they thinking?" This moment of clarity about past mistakes perfectly illustrates how the Holy Spirit works in our lives as believers.
The Holy Spirit's role in conviction stands as one of the most misunderstood yet vital aspects of the Christian walk. When T...
Prayer is not a passive suggestion box where we drop our requests and walk away. It's a dynamic, personal interaction with God that requires perseverance and engagement. When we look at Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, we see a powerful image of what prayer should be - a determined, passionate striving with God until He blesses us.
Why did God condescend to wrestle with Jacob? To teach us that He has given...
The planned message on the Holy Spirit transforms into a time of corporate prayer as we respond to breaking news of national tragedies, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting. Pastor Jason Smith leads the congregation in forming prayer circles to seek God together during this difficult season of loss within our church and political unrest in our country.
Drawing from Matthew 6:9-10, Pastor Jason unpacks Jesus' teaching on prayer, revealing how "hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done" forms a unified call for believers to passionately seek revival and God's movement in our world. Through a compelling contrast of Peter's prayer life before and after following Jesus, we see how our prayers naturally expand from self-focused requests to kin...
Have you ever questioned your faith or wondered if your salvation is secure? That nagging doubt is something many believers wrestle with, but the answer lies not in our feelings or theological knowledge.
Pastor Jason Smith shares the Holy Spirit's critical role as both seal and guarantee in the believer's life. Drawing from Ephesians 1:13-14, we discover how God marks us as authentically His own through the indwe...
Pastor Jason starts a new series looking at prayer. This week, we explore prayer as a learned desperation rather than just a discipline, examining how Jesus teaches us to approach God as our Father rather than with empty repetitions.
• Prayer isn't just a position of our knees but a disposition of our hearts
• Jesus modeled prayer throughout his ministry, often slipping away to pray for extended periods
• Writ...
The question haunts many believers: "How do I know when God is speaking to me?" This fundamental uncertainty about experiencing the Holy Spirit's presence forms the foundation of our exploration into what it means to be filled with God's Spirit.

When it takes root in a community of believers, the Gospel naturally produces growth, unity, and transformation. This fruit manifests through good works, growing knowledge of God, love for one another, unity, and hope. In church life, Gospel fruit appears in tangible growth like baptisms and giving, but also ...
The journey of faith begins with a profound mystery - how does a spiritually dead person come to life in Christ? During this Wednesday night Recharge service, we tackle a question that troubles many believers: "How do I know if I've heard God speak to me?"
The answer begins by understanding the Holy Spirit's foundational role in our salvation. Scripture paints a stark picture of our pre-salvation state ...

Where is God when tragedy strikes? This question haunts us when we hear about the pilot who recklessly crashed his plane killing 70 passengers, the Christians murdered during prayer in Congo, or the young campers swept away by sudden floods. These aren't abstract theological puzzles—they're the gut-wrenching realities that shake our faith and demand answers.
Pastor Jason Smith's message provides a comprehens...
What does it take to get into heaven? The startling truth is that 84% of Americans believe they're going to heaven, but most think it's because they're "good people." Yet when pressed about how this salvation system works—what percentage of church attendance is required or how many good deeds outweigh the bad—most people have no idea.
Drawing from Daniel's final prophecies, we journey through ...
What if God gave you a detailed preview of the next 400 years of human history? That's exactly what happened to Daniel in one of Scripture's most remarkable prophetic passages.
Against the backdrop of Jewish exile and temple-rebuilding delays, an elderly Daniel receives a divine message unlike any other in Scripture. Instead of symbolic visions, an angel delivers astonishingly precise predictions about kingdoms, ...
God intentionally places believers as exiles in this world for a purpose, just as He did with the Israelites in Babylon. As spiritual exiles, we face three key challenges: the temptation to withdraw from culture, the risk of rejecting God during hardship, and the pressure to conform to worldly values. Instead, we're called to engage with our surroundings while maintaining our distinct identity in Christ. This exile status actu...

• We must remain unhindered by earthly pleasures and comforts
• Being overwhelmed by G...
Pastor Jason continues our walkthrough of the Book of Daniel, looking at how Daniel's prayer in chapter 9 demonstrates how to stand firm in faith amid a hostile world. Though righteous, Daniel approached God with deep humility, identifying with his people's sins through fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. His prayer reveals three elements of genuine repentance: honest confession without excuses, acknowledging God's justic...
Daniel chapter 8 explores how Christians can maintain their faith in an increasingly antagonistic culture. This powerful message unpacks Daniel's apocalyptic vision that accurately predicted the rise and fall of ancient empires centuries before they occurred.
