Messages from the pastors of Zarephath Christian Church in New Jersey.
Catch the message "Everything You Need: What You Love Most" by Pastor Scott Jones.
What captures our hearts ultimately shapes our lives. Paul calls believers to set their hearts and minds on things above because their true life is now hidden with Christ. Christianity is not merely behavior modification—it is the reordering of our deepest loves and desires. When Jesus becomes what we love most, everything else begins to...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: Freedom From Religion" by Pastor Scott Jones.
Rules, rituals, and religious performance may look spiritual, but they cannot transform the human heart. Paul exposes the emptiness of legalism and calls believers into the freedom found in Jesus alone. Religion focuses on outward appearance, but Jesus changes people from the inside out. Real spiritual life grows through relationship with J...
Catch the message, "Everything You Need: Deadly Deception" by Pastor Ben Stapley.
Not every spiritual idea leads to life. Paul warns the church about empty philosophies and teachings that sound wise but pull people away from the sufficiency of Christ. Jesus is fully God, fully victorious, and completely enough—nothing needs to be added to him. Deception becomes deadly whenever it convinces us that we need something mor...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: Stay Rooted" by Pastor Mark Avery.
Spiritual stability doesn’t come from chasing trends or constantly looking for something new. Paul urges believers to stay rooted in Christ, built up in him, and firmly established in the faith. Deep roots create strong lives that can withstand deception, doubt, and difficulty. Lasting growth comes not from moving beyond Jesus, but from going de...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: The Secret's Out" by Pastor Scott Jones.
For generations, God’s plan remained hidden, but now the mystery has been revealed: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Paul shows that the Christian life is not about external religion or secret knowledge, but the living presence of Jesus within His people. This hope produces endurance, maturity, and transformation through the...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: Sinners Turned Saints" by Pastor Scott Jones.
The gospel does more than improve people—it completely changes their standing before God. Those who were once alienated, hostile, and separated from God have now been reconciled through Christ. Jesus takes people marked by sin and presents them holy, blameless, and secure in Him. The cross doesn’t just forgive our past; it gives...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: A Bigger Jesus" by Pastor Ben Stapley.
Many people carry around a version of Jesus that is far too small. Paul paints a breathtaking picture of Christ as Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and King over all things. Jesus is not merely part of life—he holds all things together and stands supreme over creation, the church, and salvation itself. The bigger our view of Jesus becomes, the more every...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: Praying God's Will" by Pastor Mark Avery.
Paul shows us how to pray for people in a way that goes deeper than circumstances and comfort. He prays that believers would know God’s will, walk worthy of the Lord, and be strengthened with spiritual power and endurance. God’s will is not merely something we discover for major decisions—it is something we live daily through ...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: People Are Talking" by Pastor Scott Jones.
The gospel never stays private when it truly takes root in someone’s life. Paul celebrates how the faith, love, and hope of the Colossians had become known far beyond their city. Healthy faith produces visible fruit and leaves a noticeable impact on the people around us. The question isn’t whether people are talking—but what ...
Catch the message "Everything You Need: Jesus + Nothing = Everything" by Pastor Scott Jones.
Colossians is a letter written to people tempted to believe that Jesus is important—but not sufficient. Paul confronts that lie by showing that Christ is supreme over all things and fully sufficient for every part of life. When Jesus is truly at the center, everything else begins to align around Him. This series will explore wh...
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: What You Leave Behind" by Pastor Scott Jones.
A father’s influence is shaped in everyday moments — in the words he speaks, the standards he sets, and the example he lives. Children absorb far more than instruction; they absorb tone, character, and faith in action. This message explores how intentional fatherhood shapes identity, confidence, and spiritual direction over time....
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: Fighting To Win" by Pastor Mark Avery.
Conflict is inevitable in every relationship, but it doesn’t have to create casualties. Winning isn’t about defeating the other person — it’s about strengthening the relationship. This message unpacks how to approach disagreements with humility, listening, forgiveness, and a win-win mindset. When handled well, conflict can b...
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: Scrolling On Purpose" by Pastor Ben Stapley.
Technology is a powerful tool, but without intention, it can quietly erode connection. Endless scrolling can steal presence from the people sitting right in front of us. This message explores how to use screens wisely so that digital engagement doesn’t replace relational investment. The goal isn’t less technology — it’...
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: Dating With Discernment" by Pastor Scott Jones.
In a culture driven by chemistry and convenience, wisdom can feel countercultural. Dating with discernment means slowing down, asking better questions, and prioritizing character over feelings. This message challenges singles to pursue relationships with clarity, boundaries, and long-term vision. Because who you date shapes who you become ...
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: Marriage On Mission" by Pastor Mark Avery.
Marriage is more than companionship — it’s partnership with purpose. When couples align their relationship around God’s design, their marriage becomes a force for good in their home, church, and community. This message explores how to move from simply surviving together to building something intentional and impactful together....
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: When Coworkers Are Complicated" by Pastor Ben Stapley.
Work relationships can be some of the most challenging because we don’t get to choose the people around us. Personalities clash, expectations collide, and stress exposes weaknesses. This message looks at how to navigate workplace tension with integrity, maturity, and Christlike character. You may not control who you work with,...
Catch the message "Relationship Reset: Motherhood Marathon" by Pastor Scott Jones.
Motherhood isn’t a sprint — it’s a lifelong journey filled with changing seasons, shifting roles, and constant growth. From nurturing newborns to guiding independent adults, each stage requires new strength, new wisdom, and fresh grace. This message explores how God equips mothers for every mile and how faith sustains them th...
Catch the message "Doors: The Door To Joy" by Pastor Scott Jones.
Faith was never meant to be joyless or draining—it was designed to be abundant, even fun. God opens the door to joy, reminding us that delight and celebration are not distractions from holiness but reflections of it. Step through and embrace the life-giving joy He has generously given.
Catch the message "Doors: The Door To Restoration" by Pastor Scott Jones.
We all drift away at times—through sin, poor choices, or trials that cause us to wander. God opens the door to repentance, calling us back into his life. No story is too broken, no life beyond His reach. If we step through and return to him, we’ll experience forgiveness, renewal, and the new life only God can give.
Catch the message "Doors: The Door To Freedom" by Pastor Luke Mihail.
Many people have stepped through the door of faith but are still living behind locked doors of guilt, fear, shame, or addiction. Jesus offers real freedom—not the absence of boundaries, but the presence of truth that sets us free. This message invites us to release what enslaves us and walk into the chain-free life Jesus has already secured.
