#FORStJoe // What Should We Be Famous For?
#FORStJoe is our opportunity to remind our communities that everyone matters to God, whether God matters to them or not.
-
#FORStJoe -- The Bridge Between Our Differences
#FORStJoe is our opportunity to remind our communities that everyone matters to God, whether God matters to them or not.

Into the Woods // Beholding & Becoming
What if getting away with God isn’t about escaping life, but becoming someone different when you return to it? In the final part of Into the Woods, we’ll see how small rhythms can shape who we’re becoming.
-
Into the Woods // Making A Plan
Most of us know we need to slow down, but how do we actually do it? In Part 2 of Into the Woods, we’re talking about practical ways to step away from the noise and make space for God.
-
Into the Woods // The Habit of Jesus
Life is loud, hurried, and full of demands. But what if Jesus modeled a rhythm that could help us find renewal, clarity, and a better way to live?
-
Not Coming Down // What Matters Most
Models change. Preferences change. Seasons change. But what happens when a church refuses to come down from the mission Jesus gave us?
-
On Message :: On Mission
Sometimes clarity comes when we slow down long enough to remember what matters most. So who are we, where are we going, and why are we committed to getting there?
-
Challenge Accepted // Depending (with Joel Thomas)
The hardest moments in life often reveal the deepest truths about us. So who, or what, are you counting on when pressure hits?
-
Challenge Accepted // In & Around (with Joel Thomas)
When life gets heavy, we usually ask God to change what’s happening around us. But what if God is more interested in transforming what’s happening in us? What might He be building in you right now that comfort could never produce?
-
Challenge Accepted // Choosing Hard (with Joel Thomas)
The easy path is always tempting, but it rarely changes us. God often does His greatest work on the hard road, where faith, obedience, and courage grow. Where have you been avoiding the hard thing … and what if God wants to meet you there?
-
Faith Full // When Life Happens
Life has a way of throwing unexpected moments at us: detours, setbacks, surprises. But what if those things aren’t just interruptions… what if they’re pivotal in your faith journey? How might God be working in what you didn’t plan?
-
Faith Full // Are You Feeding Your Faith?
Progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through discipline. And sometimes what starts as an “I should” turns into an “I want to.” What habit could God use to grow your faith if you’d just start taking it seriously?
-
Faith Full // That Person
The defining moments of our lives often come down to relationships we didn’t expect, and people God used at just the right time. Who has shaped your faith more than you realize? And who might God be placing in your life right now for a reason?
-
Faith Full // It's Personal
Nothing pushes us toward dependence on God like feeling inadequate. But what if your weakness isn’t a limitation … what if it’s an invitation? Where might God be calling you to step up and help someone even if you don’t feel ready?
-
Faith Full // Practically Speaking
Knowledge is important… but it’s not the same thing as growth. Real faith is formed when what we know starts shaping how we live. What’s one thing you already know you should do, but haven’t actually put into practice yet?
-
Faith Full // Unshakeable
Some people seem to have unshakeable faith, even when life gets messy. Where does faith like that come from, and how do you build it when you’re not sure you have it? What if stronger faith is closer than you think?
-
Easter #FORStJoe 2026 [Message]
The resurrection isn’t just a story. It’s the event that launched a movement that changed everything. If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future.
-
Does Death Have the Final Word?
Most of us live like death, failure, and regret get the final word. But Jesus came to prove they don’t. This message explores how Jesus defeated sin and death, and what it means to live with hope and strength because of Him. What would change if you truly believed death doesn’t win?
-
Death To The King [Andy Stanley]
Most of us like the idea of Jesus helping us. But what about Jesus leading us? This message explores the tension between wanting a Savior and resisting a King. Where are you asking God to step in … but still holding the steering wheel?
-
Going Public // Is It Time?
Originally, "baptism" was not a religious concept. Yet over time, baptism has become an exclusively religious idea. In this message, we'll unpack baptism, from its birth with John the Baptist to its modern equivalent. If you are a follower of Christ and baptism is still on your "to do" list, this...
-
Games We Play // The Change Game
We all have opinions … but criticism can become a habit that hurts the people we love most. Jesus had a lot to say about judging others. So when is it helpful, and when is it harmful? How do you want to be treated when you’re the one who’s struggling?
-
Games We Play // The Comparison Game [Message]
Comparison doesn’t just steal your joy; it quietly rewrites your identity. Have you been chasing someone else’s life instead of living the one God gave you? What might envy be costing you more than you realize?
-
Games We Play // The Blame Game
Blame is easy … responsibility takes strength. What if the biggest breakthrough in your life is on the other side of owning your part? Where have you been tempted to point the finger instead of taking the next step?
-
Games We Play // The Honor Game
What if the fastest way to build stronger relationships isn’t winning arguments, but choosing honor? When we play the honor game, everybody wins. Who in your life needs honor from you right now?
-
Thank God It's Monday // How to Be a Christian at Work
Sharing faith at work can feel awkward, or even risky. This message offers a wiser, more compelling approach: living and working in a way that naturally creates curiosity and draws people toward faith.
-
Thank God It's Monday // How to Lead Well
Bad leadership makes work miserable. But great leadership can change everything. Jesus redefines what real leadership looks like and challenges us to lead with humility, sacrifice, and service wherever we have influence.
-
Thank God It's Monday -- How to Find Your Calling [Message]
Most people tolerate their jobs. But what if you could actually thrive at work? This message unpacks how God has uniquely wired you and how discovering your calling can change the way you show up every day.
-
Thank God It's Monday // How to Not Burn Out
Burnout is everywhere. But quitting your job isn’t always the solution. This message looks at God’s rhythm of work and rest and why learning when to stop may be the key to lasting energy and health.
-
Thank God It's Monday // How to Not Hate Your Job
What if work was never meant to be something you just “get through”? In this message, we explore God’s original design for work, and how your job can actually become a source of purpose, meaning, and even joy.
-
Christmas #FORStJoe 2025
Christmas isn’t just the story of a baby in a manger ... it’s the story of the Light of the World who stepped into our darkness. In the middle of fear, uncertainty, and everyday mess, He showed up FOR us. This Christmas, experience the light and life of a King who’s still changing lives from the...
-
Who's Naughty or Nice // Misfits & Embarrassments
At the center of Christmas is a surprise no one saw coming: a Savior who came for everyone on the list. Not the perfect, but the willing. Not the polished, but the honest. This message celebrates the moment grace stepped into history, and why it still changes every story, including yours.
-
Who's Naughty or Nice // When the Label Doesn't Fit
The holidays can magnify every label we carry ... failure, disappointment, not-enough. But what if the Christmas story shows that God doesn’t define us by our past? In a season obsessed with who’s “naughty or nice,” learn how grace rewrites every name on the list.
-
Who's Naughty or Nice // When the Naughty Made the List
Every Christmas, we hear about the “nice list.” But have you ever looked at the first Christmas list? It’s full of broken promises, messy stories, and people you’d never expect to make the cut. This week, discover how God built the story of Christmas through the most unexpected names ... and what...
-
Needs & Wants
We're entering a season that is full of wants. Where do we want to spend the holidays? What do we want to eat for Thanksgiving? What do the kids want for Christmas? Living with want is not a bad thing, but it can potentially lead us to miss what we need.
-
The Responsibles // Assemble
What if being responsible for your faith means inviting someone else to find theirs? Every mission needs a team, and the greatest thing you can do is help build it.
-
The Responsibles // Here Today, Here Tomorrow [Andy Stanley]
Our choices today will leave our loved ones with one of two things in the future: either a burden or a blessing. So how do we leave the best one?
-
The Responsibles // Looking Back [Andy Stanley]
Sometimes we have to look back in order to move forward and make progress. What parts of your past are affecting your future? And the future of someone else?
-
The Responsibles // Your Invitation to Super
Have you ever thought about the fact that your irresponsibility will eventually become someone else's responsibility? What does that even mean? And what do we do about it?
-
#FORStJoe // FOR the Community

-
#FORStJoe // FOR You

-
The Weight of Your Words // Intent Doesn't Remove the Dent
When it comes to your words, are you a fire container or extinguisher? Even when our words are accidental, they can still hurt someone. So let's put out some fires!
-
The Weight of Your Words // Look Who's Talking [Andy Stanley]
Good or bad, what has someone said to you that has made an impact on your life? The source of those words determines the weight they carry. And your words do the same for others around you.
-
The Weight of Your Words // Way More
We've all heard the adage that actions speak louder than words. But the words we've heard have shaped us and the words we speak have the power to shape others. Where do you have work to do?
-
Friendology // Challenging Friendships
With our society as divided as ever, we as Jesus followers have the opportunity to model how to cultivate a culture of diverse friendships.
-
Friendology // Not On Your Own
Prioritizing the needs of a community of people above ourselves moves us toward the interdependence we need.
-
Friendology // Image Is Everything
In the beginning, there was a problem mentioned even before the first sin was committed. And it's a problem that still gets in the way of developing thriving friendships.
-
Homecoming // Deeper & Wider Than Ever
We believe following Jesus makes your life better & makes you better at life. And we want our church to encourage, equip, & lead people to follow Jesus. In this message, Ben talks about how & why we do church the way we do.
-
Homecoming // Family
The church should be much more than a place where people gather. As modeled in the early days of Christianity, it's intended to look like a united, selfless, & committed family.
-
Homecoming -- Your Place in the Story [Message]
Sometimes if something is too familiar, we forget how significant it is. The parable of the prodigal son is a perfect example. And when we acknowledge where we are in the story, we're positioned to discover where we need to be.
