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...
In part four of our Love Thy Neighbor series, we explore the bold witness of Phineas Bresee, before he ever founded the Church of the Nazarene. As a young Methodist pastor in the tense years before the Civil War, Bresee stood in a pulpit draped with the American flag and called slavery what it was: sin. To him, it wasn't about politics, it was about the gospel.
This sermon challenges us to see that God's holi...
In this message, guest speaker Rev. Christina Murphy explores what it truly means to cross cultural barriers for the sake of the Gospel. Drawing from Acts 2, Colossians 3, and 1 Corinthians 9, she shows how God doesn't erase our differences, He unites us in Christ despite them. The Good News of Jesus is an open invitation to all races, all cultures, and all people. Learn how to follow Paul's example of becom...
What does holy love really look like when it gets personal? In this message, we explore Leviticus 19:15-18, a passage that calls us to live with fairness, truth, and courage. This sermon reminds us that God's love doesn't play favorites, turn a blind eye, or hold grudges. It confronts sin and clings to righteousness.
Through a powerful combination of biblical insight and real-life application, we unpack what ...
What does it mean to be live honestly? To protect the vulnerable? To treat others with dignity, even when it costs us something? This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.
Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the need...
What if holiness isn't just about personal purity--but how we treat the vulnerable? In this episode, we begin a new series called Love Thy Neighbor, where we explore how God's command to leave the edges of the harvest was never just about farming. It was about compassion.
In a world that pushes us to take more and protect what is ours, this message challenges us to live with intentional margin--because God&ap...
What do river rocks, grocery cats, and the Apostle Paul have in common? In this down-to-earth and thought-provoking message, Pastor Nicole uses a tiny pebble and a kid's rock collection to unpack a powerful truth from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-7:
- The church cannot afford idle rocks.
- The Kingdom doesn't thrive on standstill saints.
- And your faith was never meant to stagnate.

The storm had passed, but Noah didn’t rush. He waited—watching, listening, trusting. When the dove didn’t return, he knew: the season had changed, and it was time to move forward.
In this episode, Pastor Jason explores what it means to wait on God’s timing and how spiritual maturity is shown in our willingness to surrender control. Drawing from Noah’s quiet obedience, this sermon challenges us to release our grip, trus...
We say God can have it all… but what about the parts we keep hidden? In this episode, Pastor Jason explores the story of King Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and the “surrender gap” that blocked the blessing of God—not just in his life, but in his community.
With honesty, humor, and hope, this message challenges us to examine the “keep out” signs in our hearts. Whether it's pride, fear, or comfort, anything we wit...
"What are human beings that You think about them?"
That’s the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it’s a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.
In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God’s glory, but to reflect it. You were...
On Pentecost, the disciples were transformed from blabber mouths and doubters into bold, Spirit-filled witnesses. The fire came, the Spirit moved, and 3,000 people came to faith in one day.
But what about us? In this bold and timely sermon, Pastor Nicole asks a powerful question: Are we still waiting for our Pentecost?
We say we do not want to offend--but have we really surrendered to the Spirit who compels us to speak?...
What does it mean when Jesus says, "I am coming soon"? For many, those words spark fear, uncertainty, or confusion. But in Revelation 22, they are not a threat--they are a promise. In this Ascension Sunday message, Pastor Jason explores how "soon" is less about clocks and more about certainty and readiness.
With grace-fueled urgency and heartfelt honesty, we are invited to examine the condition of o...
