Episodes
-
He's After Your Heart | Level Up, Week 4
What if the real battle isn’t what you do, but what’s happening in your heart? In Matthew 5:21–30, Jesus goes beneath our behavior and straight to the heart—confronting anger, contempt, lust, and the desires we often keep hidden. Jesus doesn’t just want to change what you do. He wants to change...
-
Who Gets To Define Better? | Level Up, Week 3
Following Jesus sounds simple until He asks us to surrender the places where we want to stay in control. In this message, we’ll look at what happens when Jesus’ words challenge what we believe, how we live, and who we’re becoming. Because following Jesus means letting Him form us, even when He…

Made To Matter | Level Up, Week 2
The life Jesus is forming in you was never meant to stop with you. In this message, we’ll discover what it looks like to live with purpose right where God has placed us and become people who make a difference in the lives of those around us.

-
The Blessing Isn't What You Think... | Week 1, Level Up

-
The Art of Staying (Corey Paxton)
What if the hardest part of love isn’t finding the right person, but learning how to stay when things get hard? What if the moments that make us want to walk away are actually invitations to look somewhere deeper? Jesus has something surprisingly powerful to say about what makes love last, and it...
-
Sent, Not Spectating | All-In Family Gathering (Corey Paxton)
You’re not just part of the crowd. You’re part of the team. Jesus has a place for you, a purpose for you, and a mission that might look a lot more ordinary than you think.
-
More Than a Meal | Timeless, Week 2
Communion may look simple, but Jesus gave this meal a meaning that reaches far beyond the table. It carries a story of rescue, sacrifice, grace, and a promise that has yet to be fulfilled. What are we really remembering when we take the bread and the cup, and why does it still matter so much today?
-
Go All In | Timeless, Week 1 (Corey Paxton)
Following Jesus was never meant to be something we simply watch from a distance. Baptism is a public declaration that says, “I’ve decided to follow Jesus, and I’m all in.” But beneath the water is a much deeper story about surrender, identity, new life, and the God who has already gone all in for...
-

-
True & Better | Week 2, Moses
When life leaves you with nowhere to turn, where do you run? This message uncovers a surprising connection between one of the Bible's most familiar stories and the deepest need every one of us carries. The answer is far greater than escaping difficult circumstances.
-
True & Better | Week 1, Adam
You know the right thing to do… so why is it still so hard to do it? From the very beginning, humanity has wrestled with the same question: Can God really be trusted? The story of Adam exposes our deepest problem and points us to the One who can finally make us whole.

The Weight of Our Words | For The Record, Week 6
Words…We use them constantly, but rarely stop to consider their impact. A single sentence can steady a room or shift its entire atmosphere.

The Enemy Within | For The Record, Week 2
Pressure doesn’t just test you, it exposes you. What you’re blaming on your situation might actually be coming from within. The lie feels justified, the pull feels right, but it’s leading somewhere you don’t want to go. The question is not what you’re facing, it’s what you’re feeding.
-
Faith Under Fire | For The Record, Week 1
Life doesn’t wait for the perfect moment to hit hard, trials come whether we’re ready or not. But what if the pressure you’re feeling isn’t breaking you, it’s forming something deeper in you? This message explores how God uses struggle to build a faith that lasts, one that doesn’t just survive…

Palm Sunday 2026
On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna,” expecting a Savior who would conquer their enemies—but what Jesus came to do was far greater. As He rode humbly into Jerusalem, He wasn’t heading for a throne, but a cross…on purpose. This message invites you to wrestle with the question: what if…
