Repentance is more than saying sorry, it's a decisive turn toward the new life God has for you.

Scriptures: Mark 1:14-20, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 2:11-12

What are you actually drawing your life from? In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle challenges us to stop doing a behavior check or an appearance check — and start doing a source check. Because it's possible to look strong, stay busy, and even sing worship songs while quietly depending on everything but God.In this episode, you'll discover:🌱 Don't confuse strength with source — Your intelligence, creativity, and capability are gifts from God. But the moment you trust the gift more than the Giver, you're drawing from a well that will eventually run dry.⚖️ Move the weight of your trust — Biblical dependence isn't passivity. It's active obedience flowing from a deep reliance on God. What is actually carrying the full weight of your trust right now?🌊 Root your life in what cannot run dry — Two people, same drought, completely different outcomes. The difference isn't the circumstances — it's the source. There is a stream of life available to you that no drought can exhaust.🎯 Put Jesus at the center, not on a spoke — Jesus doesn't want to be one piece of your life. He wants to be the hub that everything else flows from.We'd love to do life with you.

What happens when following Jesus leads somewhere you didn't choose? That's the real test of discipleship — and it's exactly where Pastor Joseph Pringle takes us in this powerful message from our Disciple series. True discipleship isn't just believing in Jesus. It's surrendering the right to run your own life, every single day.In this episode, you'll discover:🔑 Why self-rule is the greatest obstacle to becoming a disciple — not unbelief, but the quiet insistence on being the highest authority in your own life.🔑 What Jesus actually meant by "deny yourself" — it's not self-hatred or erasing your personality. It's releasing your sovereignty and trusting God sees what you can't.🔑 The daily practice of picking up your cross — surrender isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice that requires community, prayer, and honest faith.🔑 The great paradox of discipleship — the life you desperately protect from Jesus is the life you'll eventually lose. The life you surrender to Him is the life you finally find.🔑 Why "nevertheless" might be the most important word in your faith — just like Jesus in Gethsemane, you can bring your desires honestly to God and still choose His will.We'd love to do life with you!

You are not just a normal human being — you are a new creation, fused to the risen Christ.

Your wounds don't get to name you — and they never will. In this powerful message, Pete Campbell opens up about his own scars (yes, including a pretty gnarly saw accident) to remind us that the painful chapters of our lives were never meant to become the title of our story.Drawing from Isaiah 43, here's what Pete unpacks in Wounded But Not Defined:🔹 Wounds don't get to name you. Rejection, failure, abandonment — they all whisper lies. But God called you by name before He called you to anything else.🔹 Wounds don't get to isolate you. God never promised a pain-free life. He promised something better — His presence through every fire and every flood.🔹 Wounds don't get to stop you. God doesn't wait until your story is spotless to use you. He steps into the mess and says, you're still mine.🔹 Wounds don't get the final say. Isaiah 43:18-19 says it plainly — God is already doing something new. Don't let yesterday's pain keep you from today's invitation.If you've been carrying a wound no one can see, this message is for you.

What does God actually measure when He looks at your life? Not your followers. Not your income. Not your title. In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks the Parable of the Talents and challenges us to pursue the only words that will truly matter in the end: "Well done, good and faithful servant."In "The Measure That Matters," Pastor Joseph walks through three defining qualities of a true disciple of Christ:1. The Measure of Character — Goodness isn't about comfort or success. It's about being conformed into the likeness of Jesus, especially through the hard seasons. God doesn't waste your suffering — He redeems it.2. The Measure of Stewardship — Every gift, relationship, opportunity, and resource has been entrusted to you by God. Faith that never moves is faith that's buried. Don't bury your talent — dig it up and put it to work for His kingdom.3. The Measure of Lordship — Calling Jesus "Lord" means more than a Sunday confession. It means surrendering every area of your life — your marriage, finances, ambitions, and language — to the One who gave His life for yours.This message will shift what you're living for and remind you that you are being shaped into someone right now — the question is, who?🙌 We'd love to connect with you!

In this message, Pastor Joseph Pringle unpacks James 1:19-21 and shows us that a faith that changes everything starts with a heart that's humble enough to actually receive it.In this episode, you'll discover:🎯 Why hearing and receiving are not the same thing — and why the condition of your heart determines whether God's Word actually lands in your life.👂 How to create the conditions to hear God — the posture of being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger isn't just good relationship advice. It's the key to spiritual transformation.🌱 What's blocking the Word from taking root — bitterness, pride, offense, and hidden compromise compete for the soil of your heart. James says: don't manage it, put it away.💪 The power of the implanted Word — not the admired Word, not the memorized Word, but the Word that goes deep, takes root, and produces real fruit in your life.This message is for anyone ready to stop consuming faith and start living it.📍 Join us in person — visit c3oc.com for service times, locations, and ways to connect with our community throughout the week.
