The Lie Of More
More cannot give us the life and security that only God can give us. The more you get, the more you want. In the first week of Enough: Finding Contentment in a World That Wants More, Pastor Dale Hester preaches from Luke 12, where a dispute over an inheritance interrupts Jesus' teaching. Greed...

Weathered
Growth rings tell the story of abundance, drought, damage, healing and survival. The marks are not the whole story. They are evidence that the tree is still standing. In the final week of Growth Rings, Pastor Dale Hester says God is present and faithful in every season of your life, and faith...
-
The Fruit Test
Is your eternal destiny determined by what you believe or by the fruit being produced from your life? In week three of Growth Rings, Pastor Dale Hester says the answer is both: without proper faith there's no proper fruit, and the fruit is the test. You can know Christian language, attend church...
-
The Cutting Season
Every ring records a season, and this one is the cutting season. In week two of Growth Rings, Pastor Cory Hester walks through John 15 to show that sometimes the next level doesn't require you to add something, it requires you to eliminate something, because sometimes God makes room before He…

Built to Belong
Every person was created by God to belong — not just anywhere, but in His family and His church. In the parable of the lost son (Luke 15), Pastor Dale Hester shows how both sons were close to the Father yet far from Him, and how the Father runs to welcome us home. 1. You can be in the house and...
-
Built to Gather
Following Jesus is personal, but it was never meant to be private. In week two of Built for This, Pastor Dale Hester teaches from Hebrews 10 that God designed us to need one another and answers the counterfeit that says, "I can love Jesus, I just don't need the church." 1. We gather because of...
-
Grace with an Edge
Cheap grace, sometimes called slip and slide salvation, says God's grace covers us no matter how we live. In the final week of the Counterfeit series, Pastor Dale Hester teaches from Jude that real grace does not leave us as it found us; it transforms us. 1. Contend for the faith: our faith rests...
-
God is Not Your ATM
Do we want God, or just what God can give us? In week four of the Counterfeit series, Pastor Cory Hester takes on the prosperity gospel and reminds us that a God who can be bought is not a God we can trust. 1. The lie: God is your ATM. The prosperity gospel offers a god we can control and turns...

God Still Speaks (Cessationism)
Some teach that God spoke miraculously in the first century but is now silent and speaks only through Scripture. In week three of the Counterfeit series, Pastor Dale Hester teaches that the Bible is the supreme authority, yet the living God still speaks, leads, and works through the Holy Spirit.…

Jesus Plus (The Counterfeit of Addition)
A counterfeit does not deny Jesus; it adds something to what He has already done. In week two of the Counterfeit series, Pastor Dale Hester teaches from Galatians that Jesus plus anything else is another gospel, and that the Holy Spirit works only where our faith rests in Jesus alone. 1. The...

What do you see?
The twelve spies went to the same land and saw the same fruit and the same giants, yet ten came back with a problem and two came back with a promise. In this final message of Blockbuster Summer, Pastor Cory Hester asks what we will see when we face our giants: fear or faith. 1. We don't have a...
-
Help My Unbelief
What if the prayer God is waiting on is not the polished one, but the one you have been too embarrassed to pray? In the Blockbuster Summer series, Pastor Cory Hester teaches from Mark 9 about the father who cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief," and shows that God wants our honest faith, even...
-
Do You Want To Get Well?
Many of us want the result without paying the price, and we want relief without transformation. In Blockbuster Summer 2026, Pastor Cory Hester opens with a clip from The Matrix and preaches John 5, where Jesus meets a man who had lain by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. 1. The question that...

Jehoshaphat's Praise in Battle
King Jehoshaphat faced three armies and did not know what to do, so he went to God. In this final sermon of Battle Tested, Pastor Dale Hester uses 2 Chronicles 20 to show what to do when life is overwhelming and you do not know which way to turn. 1. Admit you are in over your head. Breakthroughs...

How to win when Hell comes after you
The moment you say yes to God, hell comes after you, and the enemy attacks right where you are tired and vulnerable. In Battle Tested, Pastor Dale Hester walks through Jesus' temptation in Matthew 4 to show how the devil works and how Jesus won. 1. The devil lies about who you are. Your identity…
