The Darkness — Week 1
(upbeat music) - Hey, we're kicking off a new series this week called The Darkness, The Darkness. Seems like a strange series for a church, maybe, but I promise it's gonna make sense. By darkness, let me explain what I mean. By darkness, imagine kind of an umbrella of emotional parasites, right?…

Joyful Noise — Week 3: It’s Not Too Late
Bieber asked, "Is it too late now to say sorry?" and OneRepublic answered, "It's too late to apologize." When it comes to God, the answer is different: it's never too late. Jesus said there's joy in the presence of the angels over one sinner who repents. So this week in Joyful Noise we look at a...

Joyful Noise — Week 4: Don’t Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One
Motion Church turns 15! To wrap up Joyful Noise on our birthday Sunday, we look at a sound God loves to hear: your story. Revelation 12:11 says they overcame "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Someone who has an experience with God is never at the mercy of someone who...

Joyful Noise — Week 2: A Little Help From My Friends
"What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me?" We all get off key sometimes, and not just musically. Sometimes we're not thinking right, talking right or living right. This week in Joyful Noise we look at a sound that has to bring joy to the heart of God: His...

Joyful Noise Week 1 Sermon
We are going to be opening up a new series this morning called Joyful Noise. And I'm actually really excited about this because what we're going to do is we're, for the next couple weeks, we're going to be looking at different angles of what a joyful noise could be, right? It could be the words...

Rock and Soul — Week 3: Rock and H2O
Two stories. Two rocks. Forty years apart — and the same God in both. This week we set Exodus 17 and Numbers 20 side by side, and the contrast will preach to anybody who's ever been tired, thirsty, or stuck. In Exodus 17, Israel is in the wilderness with no water and ready to stone their leader....

Rock and Soul — Week 2: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Sooner or later, everybody ends up in a bond — a situation with no good options and no clear path forward. Between a rock and a hard place. In week 2 of Rock and Soul, we sit with King David in Psalm 61, a song he wrote while fleeing the rebellion of his own son, crying out to God "from the ends…

Faith Stories — Week 4: Wait Your Turn
We're closing out our Faith Stories series — stories from the life of Jesus where ordinary people show extraordinary faith. This week moves fast and packs in three of them, held together by one idea: faith is never isolated. Your faith should strengthen mine, and mine should strengthen yours.…
more -
Faith Stories — Week 2: Faith That Won’t Be Quiet
We're continuing our Faith Stories series, because faith never just affects the person who has it — it affects everyone around them. This week we're in Luke 18:35-43 with a blind man sitting by the road outside Jericho. When he hears that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by, he starts shouting…

Faith Stories — Week 1: Faith in Friends
We're kicking off a new series looking at stories from the life of Jesus where someone's faith inspired the people around them. Because that's what always happens — when people encounter Jesus, their faith is strengthened, and that faith becomes a catalyst for something miraculous. This week…

Go Fourth — Cody Knight
Four men. Three fires. Two stories ages apart. One flame. In this message, Cody Knight walks us from the courts of Babylon to the fiery furnace, where Daniel — and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego — refused to bow to the golden image and trade their God-given identity for the comfort…

Warrior Poet Society week 4
Warrior Poet Society — Week 4: How to Not Wreck Your Life In the season finale of Warrior Poet Society, we close out our study of David with a simple but honest question: how do you keep from wrecking your life? Looking at the sweep of David's story, one pattern stands out — when certain things...

Warrior Poet Society Week 3 - Father's Day
Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 3: "The Downstream Effect of Sin" Happy Father's Day from Motion Church — "I think strong men are the backbone of any good society" — and then right into a tough but important topic in the David series: what happens after forgiveness. This week picks…
more -
Warrior Poet Society Week 2
Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 2: "Lessons on the Lamb" Season two of the David series backtracks a bit this week — picking up not after the Bathsheba scandal, but earlier, when Saul is still king and wants David dead. "Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in." Jealous...

Victor Series Week 3
Motion Church | Victor, Week 3: "Eat Your Own Bread" Week 3 of the Victor series adds another layer to the conversation — and fair warning, this one's a little offensive. In the best way possible. After recapping the first two weeks — victims ask why, victors ask what; victims believe they…
more -
Victor Series Week 2
Motion Church | Victor, Week 2: "Control" Continuing the Victor series, this week zeroes in on one of the biggest differences between a victim mentality and a victor mentality: how each one thinks about control. The core truth up front: "Did you know that you can be the victim of a circumstance…

Walk Series Week 4
Motion Church | Walk, Week 4: "Meet in the Middle" Can you accept someone without approving of everything they do?

Walk Series Week 3
Motion Church | Walk, Week 3: "Walk This Way (Not Like an Egyptian)" When you're sandwiched between an army and the sea, what does it look like to walk the path God has called you to? Continuing the Walk series — yes, the title is a nod to that 80s classic — this week heads back to the Old...
-
Walk Series Week 2
Motion Church | Walk, Week 2: "Walk This Way... At a Different Pace" What does it look like to walk through life with both purpose and compassion — at the same time? Continuing the Walk series, this week picks up right where we left off with Jacob, who "wrestled with God and he didn't kill me."...

Easter

White Flag Series Week 4
White Flag Series | Week 4: All Out of Options — Motion Church Podcast This is it — the final week of the White Flag series, and it closes with perhaps the most relatable expression of surrender yet. Over the past four weeks we've looked at surrender from every angle. Week one: surrender costs...

White Flag Week 3 Chris Johnson
White Flag Series | Week 3: White Flag or White Lie? — Motion Church Podcast This week in the White Flag series, we pause for the hardest question of the entire series. Not what surrender costs. Not what surrender gives. But something far more uncomfortable: Have you actually done it? This…

White Flag Series Week 2
White Flag Series | Week 2: Get Yoked — Motion Church Podcast What if surrender isn't as hard as you've been making it? Week 2 of the White Flag series digs into what may be the most clear and freeing picture of surrender in all of Scripture — and the word "surrender" isn't even mentioned in the...
-
White Flag Series Week 1
White Flag Series | Week 1: The Right Flag — Motion Church Podcast What does it actually mean to surrender? Most of us know the image — a white flag waved in defeat. But in Christianity, surrender isn't about losing. It's about finally, truly living. This week at Motion Church, we're kicking off…

FYP Series Week 2
Last week's experience was skipped due to an electrical outtage so no upload was available for it. FYP Series | Week 2: Creativity — Motion Church Podcast What if the church had a "For You Page"? Not one designed to give you what you want — but one curated to give you what you need? That's the...

Motion Nights 1
Tonight marks the beginning of something intentional and powerful. As we kick off Motion Nights, we’re reminded that “this isn’t just another service, this is a moment.” A moment to slow down, lean in, and allow God to move in a deeper way. As it was shared, “we didn’t come here to play church,”...

Double Minded week 2

Scary Things Jesus Said week 4
It’s one thing to hear the words of Jesus… It’s another to face them. This week, we come to the hardest part yet — the words that don’t just challenge what we believe, but what we want to believe. He said the path is narrow. He said not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter. He said we’d be...
