Everybody wants power.Power to fix their life. Power to silence anxiety. Power to finally feel like they matter.But what if the reason you feel powerless… is because you’re plugged into the wrong source?In Week 1 of our new series “Who’s Got the Power?”, we look at three lives in Acts — a King who rose, a coward who was restored, and a counterfeit that collapsed — and discover this truth:The power you’re missing might be connected to the priorities you’ve chosen.This message will challenge casual Christianity, expose fake faith, and call you into something real.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is let it end.In Week 7 of our relationship series, we talk about the hardest decision many people face — knowing when to walk away. Not every relationship is meant to last forever, and staying simply because you’ve invested time, emotion, or history can quietly cost you your future.Using Philippians 3 and key biblical principles, this message unpacks three honest questions to help you discern whether a relationship is building your calling or slowly eroding it.If you’ve ever wrestled with letting go, starting over, or trusting God after heartbreak — this conversation is for you.

Most people spend months planning a wedding… and almost no time preparing for a marriage.In this message, we talk about what no one tells you: every marriage begins with a funeral. When you say “I do,” something has to die — your selfishness, your old patterns, your independence. If the “me” doesn’t die, the “we” won’t survive.We walk through four major fault lines that make or break a marriage:💰 Money🛏 Intimacy👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family🧳 BaggageWhether you’re single, dating, engaged, married, or recovering from divorce — this is premarital counseling for everybody.Because marriage doesn’t fix what you bring into it… it exposes it.

5 Dating Lies | Relationship Series Part 5Culture has discipled the way we date more than Scripture—and most of us don’t even realize it. We copy what we see, chase what we feel, and call it normal… even when it’s quietly breaking us. But God’s design for relationships was never confusion, compromise, or cycles of heartbreak—it was clarity, holiness, and life.In this message, we expose five common lies about dating that shape our choices, our character, and our future:• Dating is biblical• Dating is a destination• Dating is harmless• Dating is a project• Dating is privateIf you’ve ever felt stuck in unhealthy patterns, confused about God’s will, or frustrated by repeated relationship pain—this message is for you. Because the real issue isn’t just who you’re dating… it’s what you believe about dating.Jesus is the only relationship that can hold your expectations without breaking. When that relationship is right, every other one finally starts to make sense.Subscribe for more messages, share with someone who needs this, and let’s learn to date with wisdom—not just feelings.

Green Lights & Gaslights 🚨 | How to Choose Wisely in Dating & RelationshipsMost relationship pain doesn’t come from bad intentions—it comes from ignored warning signs.In this message, Green Lights & Gaslights, we talk about how Scripture trains us to recognize danger before damage, why discernment matters more than chemistry, and how to avoid walking into relationships that slowly pull you away from God.We cover:• Why rushing intimacy clouds wisdom• The danger of vague, undefined relationships• How broken promises create instability• The difference between being needed and being secure• Why accountability reveals character—not controlThe Bible never promises you won’t fall in love with the wrong person—but it does give you wisdom to choose well. This message is about learning to read the warning lights God already gave instead of asking for signs after the damage is done.Whether you’re single, dating, or healing from a past relationship, this message will challenge how you evaluate relationships and call you to choose clarity, character, and community.Key takeaway:Stop searching for “the one.” Start becoming someone who can choose well.

Are You Graced for the Weight? | Common GroundWhy do some relationships bring relief… and others feel exhausting?In this message, Krystal walks us through a powerful biblical truth: not every weight you’re carrying was assigned to you. Using Galatians 6, Hebrews 12, and the story of Ruth and Boaz, we learn the difference between burdens we’re called to help carry and loads we were never meant to shoulder.This teaching confronts loneliness, comparison, and the pressure to fix or carry what belongs to someone else—and reminds us that God only supplies grace for the weight He assigns.If relationships feel heavy, this message will help you identify what to lay down, what to carry, and how God forms us through the weight He gives.Bottom line: When God assigns the weight, He supplies the grace.Join us at Common Ground, a community for 18–25 year olds gathering every Tuesday night.

Relationship Series - Part 1

Welcome to Part 3 of our Job series: “When We Misunderstand.”This message zooms in on the moment God finally speaks out of the whirlwind in Job 38:1–7—not to explain Himself, but to reveal Himself.Here’s the truth:When life hurts, our beliefs about God get exposed. And bad beliefs don’t just distort our view of God—they derail our whole life. Job shows us what happens when even faithful people start believing the wrong things about who God is.In this message we unpack 4 lies people believe at rock bottom:“God is against me.”“God owes me.”“God forgot me.”“God must answer me.”And then we look at the God who answers—not with explanations, but presence.You don’t need every answer. You need an anchor. And Christ is the God who meets you in the storm, speaks truth over the lies, and holds you when everything else is shaking.Why our theology gets warped at rock bottomHow suffering exposes what we really believeThe danger of loud voices + bad theologyWhat God actually says to Job (and to us)Why explanations don’t produce faith—but presence doesHow Jesus is God’s ultimate response to human sufferingJob 38:1–7 • Job 33:9–12 • Job 36:11–12 • Job 37:23 • Isaiah 55:8–9 • Mark 13:32If this message encouraged you, share it with someone walking through a hard season.God may not answer every question––but He never wastes pain, He never leaves you alone in the dark, and He’s better than anything you lost.Key Themes:Scriptures Covered:

When God Restores | Job 42:10–17We love the idea of restoration—until God starts changing us. In this message from Job 42, we unpack what real, God-authored restoration actually requires: repentance, reconnection, and reconstruction. Job didn’t just get his life back—God rebuilt him into someone new.If you’re stuck wanting a fresh start without real surrender… if you want God’s blessing without God’s process… this message is for you. God doesn’t rewind your past—He rebuilds your future. And real restoration is only found in Jesus.📖 Scripture: Job 42:10–17🔥 Topics: Repentance, Community, Obedience, Healing, Trusting God’s Process✝️ Big Idea: You don’t need your old life back—you need God.

🔥 God, Are You There? — Part 1: When Life Falls ApartLife doesn’t wait for you to be ready. One day it’s good — the next, everything’s in pieces.This message dives into the story of Job — a man who lost it all but never lost his faith.Because it’s not if life falls apart… it’s when. And when it does, the question isn’t why did this happen? — it’s will you still stand?In this message, Pastor Nick Henderson unpacks 4 ways we make suffering worse and how to anchor your faith when life doesn’t make sense.📖 Scripture: Job 1:20–22🎙️ Speaker: Nick Henderson | Common Ground

No sermon. No notes. Just raw, honest questions about faith, culture, and real life — and real answers from God’s Word.We tackled questions like:If God’s already forgiven me, why do I still feel stuck in shame?Should Christians celebrate Halloween?How should Christians treat people who are LGBTQ?Is it wrong for Christians to drink?Should Christians use medication for anxiety or depression?Why do I keep going back to the same things that hurt me?How do I forgive someone who never said sorry—and probably never will?Are some sins worse than others?It was one of our most honest, eye-opening nights yet — the kind that reminds you faith isn’t fragile and truth doesn’t break under pressure

🔥 HE STARTED IT — Genesis 32:3–27This week, Pastor Camilo Buchanon brings a powerful message on anger, healing, and the God who fights for you by first wrestling with you.We’re calling this one “R.I.P. to Anger.” Because too many of us are still letting unprocessed pain control our peace.You think your issue is your parents, but it’s actually that you feel abandoned. You think you’re angry — but really, you’re hurt.Through Jacob’s story, we see that God doesn’t run from your emotions; He invites you to wrestle with Him until it changes you.Because anger doesn’t have to destroy you — it can drive you to God.💬 Key takeaway:You don’t gain strength by getting even. You gain strength by getting in His presence.📖 Genesis 32 | Philippians 1:6 | Nehemiah 8:10 | Hebrews 12:2 | Psalm 16

R.I.P. to Relationships: Release in Peace. Receive in Peace.This message from Krystal Cox challenges us to let go of relationships, habits, and mindsets that no longer align with God’s purpose for our lives. You can’t receive what’s right while still holding onto what’s wrong.Main Ideas:The heartbreak wasn’t punishment—it was protection.Can God trust you to release what’s killing your peace?We hold onto comfort over commitment, potential over reality, and convenience over calling.God can’t fill hands that are still full of who He asked you to let go of.Release in peace so you can receive in peace. God’s next for you is better than your last.Key Scriptures:Genesis 2:18Ecclesiastes 3:1–8Matthew 7:7–12

R.I.P. to Resentment | Common Ground SermonResentment doesn’t protect you—it poisons you.And if you don’t drop it, it’ll drop you.In this message, Pastor Nick Henderson walks through James 4, Hebrews 12, and Colossians 3 to expose how bitterness holds us back, hurts the people we love, and keeps us from freedom. Whether it’s a grudge you’ve been holding for years or a quiet hurt you’ve never faced—this sermon will challenge you to finally let go.🔑 You’ll learn:• The hidden causes of resentment• Why bitterness is never private• How forgiveness is the only path to freedom• What the gospel says about the debts we keep trying to collect📖 Key Verse:"Forgive as the Lord forgave you." — Colossians 3:13💭 Sticky Line:If Jesus canceled your debt, why are you still charging interest on someone else’s?

We’re Losing a Nation to Distraction | Why Christians Can’t Afford to Scroll MindlesslyWe think distraction just costs us time—but it’s costing us way more. While believers binge and bicker, the enemy builds. If the Church doesn’t wake up, we won’t be a Christian nation—we’ll become a relativist playground, a godless government state, or a faithless culture shaped by algorithm over Scripture. It’s time to lock in, not zone out. Watch this and get your focus back.

Description:Comparison is killing your joy, your peace, and your purpose. From Instagram scrolls to family reunions, we’re measuring ourselves against others—and it’s wrecking our identity, creating scarcity, and fueling anxiety.But God didn’t design you to live in competition—He made you one-of-one, uniquely called, uniquely loved.In this message, Pastor Nick unpacks:Why comparison corrupts your identity (Galatians 6:4)How it poisons community and creates scarcity (James 3:16)The way it fuels anxiety in “the anxious generation” (Proverbs 14:30)And the 3 keys to killing comparison: Gratitude, Goals, and Giving💥 Don’t miss this. If comparison kills, only Christ can make you alive.

What you hide doesn’t heal—it grows. Secret sins may start small, but they always spread, surface, and eventually destroy what you thought was safe. In this message, RIP to Secret Sins, Pastor Nick exposes the danger of hidden sin and points us to the hope found in Jesus—the One who brings light, freedom, and forgiveness.If you’ve ever struggled with temptation, shame, or a private battle you don’t want anyone to know about—this is for you.📖 Scripture References:James 1:14–15Hebrews 3:131 Corinthians 4:51 John 1:9💡 Key Takeaways:Sin is planted in private long before it’s exposed in public.What you hide in the dark will harden your heart.What you do in the dark will eventually show up in the light.The same light that exposes sin is the light that erases it.👥 Join us at Common Ground for real community:Weekly Gatherings | Group Night | UpperGround🔔 Subscribe for more sermons and messages to help you follow Jesus in everyday life.

“Take Up Your Sword” – Pastor Casey Withers | Common GroundWe’re not losing the battle because it’s too hard—we’re losing because we’re unarmed.In this message, Pastor Nick challenges us to dust off our Bibles and fight back with the one weapon God gave us: His Word.📖 Ephesians 6:17🗡 The sword of the Spirit isn’t just for study. It’s for war.If your Bible’s been sitting on the shelf, it’s time to pick it up.🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Common Ground📍Join us in person: Thursdays at 7PM in San Antonio👊 Next week: Pastor Caleb Jones is bringing Part 7 of The One Thing series🙌 Shoutout to Pastor Casey Withers for Part 6—run it back if you missed it!

YouTube Description:When We Sin | Genesis Part 7We all mess up. The real question isn’t IF you’ll fall—it’s what you do NEXT.In Genesis 3, we see the very first response to sin—and it wasn’t confession, it was cover-up. Adam and Eve hid, blamed, and patched instead of owning it. Thousands of years later, we’re still doing the same thing. But here’s the truth: You don’t get stuck because you fell; you get stuck because you stayed there.🔥 Sin Reflexes:1️⃣ Hide the Hurt – We isolate, fake it, and pretend like everything’s fine.2️⃣ Shift the Blame – We offload responsibility to anyone but ourselves.3️⃣ Patch the Pain – We use quick fixes to numb the guilt but never heal.But Jesus didn’t come to patch your brokenness—He came to pay for it. What Adam and Eve tried to cover with fig leaves, Christ covered with His blood. It’s not about hiding better; it’s about being healed completely.Join us for the Genesis Finale next Thursday!
