Unsung Heroes
Some of the greatest heroes in the world will never make the news; they simply show up. In the first week of Unsung Heroes, Pastor Jamisen looks at Onesiphorus, a man we meet in just three verses of 2 Timothy, who searched Rome until he found Paul in chains and was never ashamed to stand beside...

Rooted To Reach
Roots were never the destination. In the final week of Rooted, Pastor Jamisen looks at the parable of the sower in Matthew 13 and at Jesus calling Zacchaeus down from the tree in Luke 19 to show that God grows something in us so He can give it through us. What is rooted in you will eventually…

Rooted In Community
Jesus saves us personally, but He never leaves us on our own. In week three of Rooted, Pastor Jamisen looks at the early church in Acts 2 and at Moses on the hill in Exodus 17 to show why a faith rooted in Christ is meant to grow in community. We all need people who know our name and hold us up,...

Rooted In the Word
Every one of us is being discipled by something — and what we allow in is what shapes us. In Psalm 1, the blessed life doesn’t begin with visible fruit; it begins with roots forming beneath the surface as we delight in God’s Word. Pastor Jamisen Hancock unpacks the difference between hearing the...

Rooted In Christ
Fall Launch Sunday opens a new season at Briarwood with a series called Rooted. Starting in Colossians 2, we’re reminded that the part of a tree nobody sees — the roots — decides everything everyone does see. Success, money, reputation and control all hold up fine under blue skies, but only a…

A Seat At The Table
In A Seat At The Table, Pastor Jamisen Hancock opens in 2 Samuel 9 with the story of Mephibosheth—a forgotten, crippled grandson of King Saul who finds himself invited to dine at King David’s table. The message traces the movement of grace: it finds you where you are, brings you where you could...

The Puzzle - Every Piece Matters
What if the church is less like a crowd and more like a puzzle — every piece different in shape, size, and color, but each one essential to the picture? On Family Sunday at Briarwood Church, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses the image of a puzzle built piece by piece throughout the service with the…

Reset - An Uncluttered Faith (WEEK 5)
A reset isn't complete until it reaches the place where you actually live. In the final week of RESET, Pastor Jamisen Hancock brings the series home literally asking what it would look like for Jesus to be the true center of our families. Drawing from Joshua 24, Deuteronomy 6, and Psalm 78, he...

RESET - An Uncluttered Faith (week 4)
We can spend our whole life building something and still be building the wrong thing. In Week 4 of RESET, Pastor Jamisen Hancock takes us to the often overlooked book of Haggai where God's people returned from exile, rebuilt their own homes and businesses, and quietly let God's house fall into...

RESET: An Uncluttered Faith (week 3)
We all carry relational clutter, bitterness, unresolved conflict, old wounds, and unforgiveness that silently weigh us down and keep us from walking freely with Jesus. In Week 3 of RESET, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses Colossians 3:12–15 to walk us through four steps to a relational reset: putting…

RESET: An Uncluttered Faith (Week 2)
Life doesn't slow down on its own — and if we're not careful, we'll rush right back into the same cluttered schedules that wore us out before. In Week 2 of RESET, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses the story of Mary and Martha to show us that you can be busy doing things for Jesus and still miss being...
-
RESET: An Uncluttered Faith (Week 1)
We all carry more than we need, not just in our closets and calendars, but in our hearts. In this first week of RESET, Pastor Jamisen Hancock walks us through the story of the Rich Young Ruler to show us how even good things can become distractions that divide our focus from Jesus. Using Hebrews...

Don't Waste Your Waiting
Pastor Jamisen is back after camp week, and he brings a message that hits right where a lot of us live. Using Jeremiah 29 — the full chapter, not just the verse on your coffee mug — he unpacks what God was actually saying to Israel while they were stuck in Babylon for 70 years: don't press pause…

Seek The Creator
Using the illustration of training a horse over many years, pastor Brandon Booker delivers a three-point sermon: God as Creator (1) understands your life is a process, (2) sees a masterpiece where others see a mess, and (3) has already determined your value — not you. Anchored in Colossians 1 and...
-
Be A Refresher
Drawing from 2 Timothy 1, pastor Ben Graves unpacks the obscure but powerful example of Onesiphorus — a normal, non-platform man who tracked down the imprisoned Paul and refreshed him when everyone else walked away. Through five points (stay, don't be ashamed, pursue, be consistent, make eternal...

Voices - Cut Through the Noise
God still speaks; the question is whether we have gotten quiet enough to hear Him.

Voices - Cut Through the Noise
The voice your family hears the most will shape the future they live.

Whatever voice you were given...

Voices - Cut Through the Noise
Guilt says I did something wrong; shame says I am something wrong. In Week 3 of Voices: Cut Through the Noise, Pastor Jamisen looks at two women in Scripture, one carrying hidden shame in the crowd in Luke 8 and one dragged into public shame in John 8, and shows that Jesus responds to both the…

Voices - Cut Through the Noise
Just because a voice is loud does not make it true. In Week 2 of Voices: Cut Through the Noise, Pastor Jamisen goes back to the garden in Genesis 3 and to Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew 4 to show that the enemy does not defeat us by force; he deceives us with lies, and he still uses the same...
-
Voices - Cut Through the Noise
Life gets louder in the summer, and the loudest voice usually wins. In Week 1 of Voices: Cut Through the Noise, Pastor Jamisen walks through Matthew 14, where Peter walks on the water until the voice of the storm grows louder than the voice of the Savior. We are always being discipled by…

If the grave...

When Love Shows Up Week 4
The nails did not hold Jesus to the cross; love did. On Palm Sunday, in Week 4 of When Love Shows Up, Pastor Jamisen walks through the crucifixion in John 19 and shows that the cross is not decoration but the greatest picture of love the world has ever seen. Jesus paid the full price, forgave us...
-
When Love Shows Up Week 3
Tables have a way of revealing people. In Week 3 of When Love Shows Up, Pastor Jamisen takes us to the Last Supper in John 13 and Luke 22, where Jesus knelt to wash the feet of a doubter, a denier and a betrayer, and still handed Judas the bread. Love shows up knowing hearts are complicated…

When Love Shows Up Week 2
Storms reveal what we really believe. In Week 2 of When Love Shows Up, Pastor Jamisen walks through Mark 4, where the disciples, right where Jesus told them to be, wake Him in a sinking boat and ask, 'Teacher, don't you care?' Following Jesus does not mean avoiding storms, and His silence never...
-
When Love Shows Up Week 1
Before there was a resurrection, there was a wilderness. In Week 1 of When Love Shows Up, Pastor Jamisen opens Luke 4, where the Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness and He answers every temptation with 'It is written.'

-
From the Crowd To the Cross

-
Into Your Mission
God never draws you in just to keep you in. In Week 3 of Draw Me In, Pastor Jamisen Hancock closes the series in 1 Kings 19 — where Elijah, fresh off restoration, is immediately sent back out on mission. Commission begins with movement, grows through investing in people, and is fulfilled through...

Into Your Purpose

Into Your Presence
Life gets loud — but God speaks in a whisper.

Not with rebuke or noise, but with rest and a still, small voice. God...
-
Align Your Life With Others
God never designed faith to be a solo sport. In the final week of Align, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses Ecclesiastes 4 and Hebrews 10 to show that alignment with God requires alignment with God’s people. You are stronger than you think — but weaker than you realize when you’re alone.
-
Align: Align Your Daily Walk
Inspiration happens in moments, but transformation happens in rhythms. In Week 3 of the Align series, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses Acts 2 and John 15 to challenge us to stop chasing spiritual mountaintop moments and start building daily patterns that keep us connected to God. What we do daily...
-
Align Your Priorities
You can be moving forward and still be misaligned. In Week 2 of Align, Pastor Jamisen Hancock uses Matthew 6 and Isaiah 58 to show that spiritual strength flows from intentional priorities — not busyness. Put God first and everything else fits the way it was meant to.
-
Align Your Perspective
You don’t need a new life — you need a new perspective. In Week 1 of Align, Pastor Jamisen Hancock opens in Isaiah 43 and challenges us to stop chasing what’s next and start seeing what God is already doing right where we are. See it, release it, declare it.

If Then
What if the most important question you could ask isn’t whether God exists — but whether the Bible is true? On the last Sunday of 2025, Pastor Will Howell brings a message built around a simple logical structure: if the Bible is true, then we should do what it says. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, Luke...
-
The Greatest Gift Ever Given
Every Christmas we shop, wrap, and stress over gifts that break, fade, or end up in a garage sale. But there is one gift that never fades, never breaks, and never stops giving. On the last Sunday before Christmas 2025, Pastor Jamisen Hancock walks through Isaiah 9:1–7 — written 700 years before...
-
Are We There Yet
The journey to Jesus is rarely a straight line — detours, delays, and dead ends have a way of making us ask, “Are we there yet?” In this closing message from Briarwood’s Family Christmas Program, the wise men’s winding road becomes a mirror for our own. A delay is not a denial, a detour is not a...
-
God Broke In
Christmas is not about people finding God — it is about God breaking in to find us. In this Christmas message, Pastor Jamisen Hancock takes us to Luke 2 and the story of the shepherds to show us four truths about how God still breaks in today: he breaks into ordinary places, he uses unexpected...
