  1. 1000

    The Way Through the Storm - Dr. Brian Reiswig

    This message explains that real spiritual growth happens through challenge, not comfort. Using the story of Jesus and the storm, it shows that difficult moments reveal what’s in our hearts and teach us to trust God more deeply.  

  2. 999

    Real Questions, Honest Answers - Speaker Panel

    With so many questions swirling in culture, from Israel, to Iran, to AI, to Honor and Tithing and everything in between. We know people have real questions and we want to give you honest answers from a biblical perspective.

  3. 998

    The Way of Power - Ps. Jurgen Matthesius

    Power flows like a current. It is not static, it is dynamic. Hence the word “Dunamis” in the New Testament that is translated “power!” If power does indeed flow, then it can either flow toward or away from you. In this message we observe the ‘fall of man” and see where power was lost and we also see what God to restore power back to mankind!

  4. 997

    Discipleship Is... - Ps. Casey Bombacie

    Discipleship isn’t a program but a lifestyle of growing closer to Jesus and helping others do the same. Ps. Casey breaks down what it means to be a “follower of the Way” (Acts 9:2) and challenges believers to actively live out their faith through Scripture, community, and obedience to the Great Commission.

  5. 996

    Recover All - Ps. Tracey Armstrong

    A powerful and prophetic message on courage, calling, and reclaiming what’s been lost, this message challenges listeners to rise up “for such a time as this.” Drawing from the story of Esther and personal testimony, the Ps. Tracey unpacks how faith, bold action, and spiritual authority can shift narratives and break limiting mindsets.

  6. 995

    The Offered Life - Ps. Colin Higginbottom

    What we offer reflects what we value—honor produces overflow, compromise fractures connection, but a sacred life laid before God positions us to receive His reward and fullness of life.

  7. 994

    The WAY of the KINGDOM! - Ps. Jurgen Matthesius

    IN the trilogy movie series “The MATRIX” Neo is literally unplugged from the Matrix and must now learn to live in a new dimension. It’s precise the the same for people who are born again. We must learn how to operate, live and function within the KINGDOM of God! It has its own laws, principles and power! This message will show you how to enter, align and release the power that flows in the kingdom of God!

  8. 993

    Scars of Victory - How Our Wounds Can Witness - Jake Ransom

    This message from Jake is a great reminder of how the scars of Jesus weren’t hidden. They were revealed. Not to glorify pain and struggle… but to prove the victory. 

  9. 992

    The Highest Price - Ps. Colin Higginbottom -

    This Easter message, “The Highest Price,” explores how true passion is measured by what you’re willing to pay—and how Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price out of unmatched love for humanity.  This message is an invitation to rediscover your worth, embrace a new identity, and respond to a love that never stops pursuing you.

  10. 991

    Overtime - Ps. Jon Heinrichs

    Jesus said "It is Finished" but He wasn't done. The devil thought it was game over, but he forgot to consider overtime. Jesus rose again in overtime. Ps Jon discusses how God's power is amplified in overtime.

  11. 990

    By His Stripes...It is finished.- Ps. Casey Bombacie

    This Easter, we trace the most important week in human history — from a triumphal entry on a donkey to a cross on a hill — and unpack why every moment was part of an eternal plan, not an accident. We break down the prophecies, the suffering, and the three words Jesus said before He died that changed everything. If you've never understood what the resurrection actually means for your life, this is the message to start with.

  12. 989

    The Last Days of Elijah - Ps. Yeanmay Teng

    We are living in the last days of Elijah where we are called to set the table to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.  

  13. 988

    The Holy Table - Ps. Mikala Hubbard

    It is Holy Week, the week before Easter Sunday, and it is significant to look at the life of Jesus to see how he dealt with facing the most painful moments in his life, trusting God to come to a place of victory, and overcome death.

  14. 987

    Dangerous Acoustics: Praise Is Heaven's Most Powerful Weapon - Ps. Mike Yeager

    There's a reason the spirit of religion works so hard to keep you quiet on a Sunday morning. This powerful message from Ps. Mike is about what your praise actually accomplishes and why hell fights so hard to silence it.

  15. 986

    Emerge 3x10 - Daniel Hack, Tristan Teng, Eli Kerch

    Three powerful Emerge Men have a refreshing word coming into Emerge conference! Lean in and get ready to go to another level in your walk with God!

  16. 985

    An Essential Part of the Living Body - Ps. Morgan Ervin

    The church was never meant to be a corporation — it's a corpus, a living body, and you are an irreplaceable part of it. In this message from 1 Corinthians 12, we unpack why the most famous chapter on love in any language was actually written as a correction to a church that had forgotten what it was — and what happens when a culture built on consumption shapes the way we see community. You'll discover why "the church is too big" is never really a size complaint, why your value in the body has nothing to do with what you perform and everything to do with where you've been placed, and why Jesus — who started with a megachurch — always came home to a table. From the ancient Jewish wedding tradition to the meaning of the Father's house, this message is an invitation to stop attending and start belonging — to find both the altar and the table, and to take the seat that was prepared for you before you ever walked through the door.

  17. 984

    Moved - Ps. Jon Heinrichs

    When Jesus is given a pathway into a city or region He will cause a rumbling. The job of the church is to make a way for Him to come. To create opportunities for people to encounter Him so they can be moved to action.

  18. 983

    A Captivating Church - Ps. Leanne Matthesius

    This message from Ps. Leanne dives into the life of Isaac and Rebekah. This message is a challenge to build the kind of church that will captivate and engage this generation to devote their lives in service to God, and his bride the church.

  19. 982

    Emerge Night - Spencer Danielson

    This Emerge message from  Boise state Broncos coach Spencer Danielson shares a powerful personal journey of faith, leadership, and how God works through both victories and setbacks. Through real-life stories, he challenges listeners to stay committed, build strong habits, and “keep swinging” in the face of adversity.

  20. 981

    Then God Engineered Man - Ps. Colin Higginbottom

    This Emerge message explores the difference between numbing pain and truly healing it. Ps. Colin challenges people to confront the broken places in their lives rather than avoid them. When we allow it, God uses pain to reveal what needs restoration—and invites us into a process of transformation, authenticity, and renewed purpose. 

  21. 980

    Emerge 3X10 - Dustin Wilson, Raul Barajas, John Gidcumb

    Three powerful Emerge Men have a refreshing word coming into Emerge night! Lean in and get ready to go to another level in your walk with God!

    Church to Tables, Tables to Church - Ps. Becky Heinrichs

    The church AND the table is a powerful, beautiful, and imperative combination. We were not created to get everything we need to live a victorious life through ONLY attending church. We need both to experience the full transformation God wants for us.

  26. 975

    The Table that Jesus Built (How to host like Heaven) - Ps. Matt Hubbard

    Jesus didn’t just preach to crowds — He built tables that formed disciples. In The Table That Jesus Built, we’ll uncover what it means to host like heaven, create spaces where people belong before they believe, and build communities marked by love, truth, and transformation.

    Where We Eat And Where We Kneel - Jake Ransom

    A healthy Christian life needs both tables and altars. Tables where we grow through fellowship and altars where we grow through surrender. When we commit to both shared fellowship and personal surrender, we stopped being just church attenders and we become a Spirit-filled, life-giving church.

  29. 972

    What do you want? God knows what He has created for you and what He wants to do in your life, but of greater importance than what He wants for you is what you want and will accept!

  32. 969

    Covenant, Not Convenience - Ps. Casey Bombacie
