Have you ever wondered why prayer sometimes feels routine, awkward, or empty--even when you're trying your best?
In this message, we begin a new series called "Teach My Heart to Pray." We look at the moment when the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally said, "Lord, teach us to pray." Instead of giving them a script, Jesus began shaping their hearts.
This sermon explores what it means to slow...
We all pray prayers like this: "Lord, fix this. Help me get through this. Make this better."
And sometimes God answers--He heals, He helps, He provides. But in Luke 17, we discover something surprising: Ten people were healed... but only one was made whole.
In this episode, we talk about the differences between getting a quick fix from God and returning to Jesus in a way that brings real wholeness, hope, and c...
What if we have been talking about love...but not actually living it?
In this Advent message, Pastor Nicole closes our "Like a Child" series by returning to 1 Corinthians 13 and to the heart of the gospel: a love that is patient, kind, honest, present, and willing to meet people right where they are.
This episode wrestles with questions we don't always say out loud:
- Why do we put conditions on love?
- Why...
Joy can feel like the first thing to disappear during the Christmas season--especially when life feels unresolved. In this Advent message, Pastor Jason explores Luke 1:39-45 and reminds us that biblical joy does not wait for everything to make sense.
As Mary visits Elizabeth, joy erupts not because circumstances have changed, but because God's promises are trusted. This sermon invites listeners to rediscover a chi...
If you love Jesus but feel worn down by the weight of life--family pressure, grief, finances, burnout, or the constant need to hold everything together--Jesus offers you something your heart desperately craves. Peace.
In this Advent message, Pastor Jason reflects on Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:25-30: "Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Jesus does ...
Christmas is supposed to be a season of hope, but for many of us, it feels heavy. The calendar is full. The expectations are high. And the world feels anything but peaceful. If you have ever wondered why the most "joyful" time of year can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, or numb... this sermon is for you.
Pastor Nicole opens our Advent series "Like a Child" with a powerful reminder that hope is...
For many people, the words "Jesus is coming again" do not bring comfort. They bring anxiety. Fear-filled sermons, end-times charts, and bad theology have left some believers uneasy, confused, or even wounded. But that's not how the Bible ends.
In Revelation 22:20, Jesus' final promise is not meant to terrify us; it is meant to give hope. The early Church did not dread Christ's return; they long...
What if God is not impressed with our worship... even when it looks and sounds impressive to us?
In this eye-opening episode, Pastor Jason digs into one of the most uncomfortable passages in Scripture, Amos 5:21-24. God tells HIs own people, "Take away the noise of your songs." Why? Because their lives did not match their praise.
If you have ever felt like church was just a routine... if you have ever wondered...
What does it really mean to follow Jesus? For many people, faith gets reduced to a slogan: "I don't believe in religion--I believe in Jesus." But in this powerful message from Pastor Nicole Barnett, we explore what Scripture actually says about the kind of faith God calls us to live.
Drawing from James 1:22-27 and the teachings of Jesus, Nicole challenges the idea that Christianity is only a private rela...
In the conclusion of the "Empty Jars" series, Pastor Jason steps into one of the most heartbreaking and hope-filled moments in Elijah's story. What do you do when God has provided... and then everything falls apart again? When the jar runs empty, the breath leaves the room, and you are left standing at a situation that feels beyond saving.
God does not stop at provision. He steps into the places we have ...
Feeling like you are running on empty? We dive into a powerful story from 1 Kings 17, about a widow, down to her last meal, who is invited to trust God with what little she has left. What unfolds is not just a miracle of provision, but a lesson in faith, surrender, and the surprising ways God meets us in scarcity.
You don't need full hands for God to work, just an open heart.
Whether you are new to the podcast or a...
We all hit seasons where life feels like it is drying up emotionally, spiritually, or practically. Sometimes long before we understand why. In this opening message of our "Empty Jars" series, we step into Elijah's story before the mountaintop victory, before the miracle, before the fire... to the quiet and hidden place where God teaches him to trust.
This is a message for anyone walking through uncertain...
Grief is one of the few things every person will experience. But for many of us, it comes with unanswered questions: Where are our loved ones now? Are they safe? Will we ever see them again?
In this message, we walk through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, a passage often used to scare people about the end times, but originally written as a word of comfort to a grieving church.
This sermon explores why the return of Jesus is no...
When King Rehoboam secured his throne, pride quickly followed--and it cost him everything. But when the nation finally bowed low before God, mercy moved, and wrath turned to grace.
This message from 2 Chronicles 12:1-12 explores how pride can quietly pull us away from God, how humility opens the door to restoration, and why the way up in God's kingdom is always down.
If you have ever tried to stand tall through you...
What matters more--what we say, or what we actually do? In this final message of the "I Am Called" series, we turn to a parable from Jesus that confronts the gap between words and obedience. If you have ever struggled with stalled-out faith, questioned your calling, or wondered if God can still use you after a "no", this episode is for you.
Discover how the Great I AM calls us not just to speak--but...
What happens when people question your calling? Or when you start questioning it yourself? We turn to Numbers 17 and the story of Aaron's staff that blossomed overnight. This passage reminds us that it's not up to us to prove ourselves or manufacture fruit. God Himself affirms His call and makes life flourish where we cannot.
If you have ever felt overlooked, doubted, or weary from striving, this sermon offer...
Life pulls us in a hundred different directions, and our culture tells us our worth is found in what we produce. But in Luke 10:38-42, Jesus shows us a better way. Before we ever do anything for Him, we are called first to be with Him. In this kickoff message from our new series "I Am Called", discover why presence matters more than performance--and how dwelling with Jesus shapes our identity, assurance, and...
In Mark 5:25-34, we meet a woman who had suffered in silence for twelve years. Full of fear and trembling, she reached for Jesus--unsure of what He would say. Instead of rejection, she found restoration. In this message, we explore how even hesitant, shame-filled faith can connect us to the healing power of Christ. If you've ever wondered how Jesus responds to our hidden struggles, this is a story you need to hea...
What was the real reason Jesus came? Was it His birth, His death, or His resurrection--or is there something more we've overlooked?
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Nicole takes us to Luke 4, where Jesus defines His mission: to bring good news to the poor, freedom to the captive, sight to the blind, and healing for the oppressed. This is more than a history lesson--it is an invitation to live in the freedom and fav...
In the finale of our "Love Thy Neighbor" series, we turn to one of the most challenging commands in all of Scripture. Leviticus 19:33-34 tells God's people to welcome the stranger, to treat the outsider not as second-class, but as family. This isn't just a call to holiness, it is covenant obedience rooted in God's own character.
We explore what it means to see immigrants and outsiders the way G...
