Church can hide our rough edges — but home exposes them. In this episode, Pastor Demetrius Johnson launches a new series asking a hard question: is Jesus actually changing the person your family experiences every day? Walking through Colossians 3:12–17, Pastor Johnson unpacks three keys to authentic faith at home: Putting on the character of Jesus — mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience Letting the peace of Jesus referee your thoughts and reactions Allowing the word of Jesus to shape how you speak, forgive, and respond The people closest to us deserve the best of our walk with Jesus, not the leftovers. 👍 Enjoying the podcast?

Five years ago, OneChurch was mostly a vision. Today, that vision has faces, names and stories. In this special Five-Year Anniversary message, Pastor Ken Senchal looks back at what God has done through OneChurch—and challenges us to look forward to the people God still wants to reach. Over the past five years, we've seen more than 100 people give their lives to Christ, around 170 baptisms and nearly 100 Life Groups. But the mission was never about numbers. Every number has a name. Every name has a story. And every story matters to God. Drawing from Habakkuk 2:2 and Luke 19:10, Pastor Ken returns to the vision God gave OneChurch: Change the world one person at a time. How do we do it? Know God. Find Freedom. Discover Purpose. Make A Difference. Jesus always saw the ONE—and as OneChurch begins its next five years, we're asking God to help us do the same. There are people whose stories we don't know yet. They may live down the street, work beside us, sit in our classrooms or even be members of our own families. Maybe God intends to reach them through us. Thank you, God, for the last five years. Now we're ready for the next five. Father, show me my One.

What if abiding in Jesus isn't only about what He wants to do in you, but what He wants to do through you? In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal continues the How to Abide in Jesus series by exploring one of the most practical expressions of a life connected to Christ: serving others. Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches." A branch doesn't produce fruit for itself. The fruit is always for somebody else. Using the simple S.E.E. framework, Pastor Ken challenges us to: S — See the Need The closer we get to Jesus, the more we begin to notice the people Jesus notices. E — Engage the Person Biblical compassion doesn't simply recognize someone's need. It moves toward them—even when it costs us time, energy, attention, convenience, or resources. E — Extend Jesus Serving isn't about showing everyone what we're doing for Jesus. It's allowing others to see what Jesus can do through a life connected to Him. We don't serve FOR God's love. We serve FROM God's love. Sometimes it's a conversation, a meal, a ride, a phone call, a text, a prayer, or simply giving someone an hour of your time. And through something ordinary, someone may catch a glimpse of an extraordinary Jesus. As you listen, consider beginning each day with this simple prayer: "Jesus, help me see who You want me to see today." Share this episode with someone who could use this encouragement, and join us at One Church as we continue learning to follow Jesus and allow His life to flow through ours.

What if following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey? In Acts 2, the early church didn't simply gather for a service—they created a community centered on Jesus. They shared life, worshiped together, prayed together, served one another, met practical needs, and helped each other grow. In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores why biblical community is essential to abiding in Jesus. Because the people God places around us can help us become more like Christ. But authentic community requires more than simply showing up at church. It requires us to move from attendance to belonging. Pastor Ken explores three obstacles that can keep us from experiencing the kind of community God designed: Pride and self-sufficiency — believing, "I've got this," when God created us to need one another. Busyness and misplaced priorities — allowing our schedules to make spiritual community optional. Past hurts and unresolved offenses — allowing what happened in unhealthy relationships to keep us from the healthy relationships God wants to bring into our lives. The answer isn't isolation. The answer to unhealthy community is healthy biblical community. Ecclesiastes 4 reminds us that when one person falls, another can help them back up—and Scripture assumes that eventually, we all need someone. So the question isn't whether you'll need community. The question is: Will you allow yourself to be part of one? 🎧 Listen to this powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal and discover what it means to abide in Jesus through community. 💬 After listening, ask yourself: Am I attending church—or am I truly sharing life with the people God has placed around me? 📲 Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, connection, or a reminder that they don't have to walk alone.

Have you ever felt like following Jesus has become exhausting? Many believers spend years trying harder to become more patient, more loving, and more faithful—only to find themselves frustrated and spiritually worn out. Jesus never intended the Christian life to be powered by human effort. In this inspiring message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores what it truly means to abide in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Drawing from John 15 and other key passages, he explains how the Holy Spirit brings Jesus' presence into our lives, reminds us of His truth, and empowers us to live beyond our own strength. You'll discover why spiritual growth isn't something we manufacture—it's something God produces as we remain connected to Him. Whether you're longing to hear God's voice more clearly, overcome spiritual dryness, or deepen your relationship with Christ, this message offers practical biblical guidance that you can begin applying today. Join us as we learn to surrender more completely, listen more intentionally, and obey more faithfully—allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us from the inside out. Because lasting change doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from abiding deeper.

Many Christians genuinely want God's direction, yet spend far more time consuming opinions, news, podcasts, and social media than opening the very Word God has already given them. In this practical and encouraging message, Pastor Ken Senchal teaches how abiding in Christ begins with intentionally receiving God's Word, reflecting on it until it transforms the way we think, and responding with faithful obedience. Discover: • Why Scripture is essential for spiritual growth • How Ezra modeled a life centered on God's Word • The practical SOAP Bible study method • How to renew your mind through Scripture • Why obedience is the key to lasting transformation God's Word doesn't transform us simply because we own a Bible or read a few verses—it transforms us when we trust it enough to obey it. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or have followed Jesus for years, this episode will equip you with practical tools to help God's Word become part of your everyday life.

The Armor of God is one of the most familiar passages in Scripture, but what if we've missed Paul's main point? In the concluding message of our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken Senchal takes us beyond the image of a Roman soldier and reveals that every piece of God's armor ultimately points to Jesus Christ. This message explores what it truly means to "be strong in the Lord" and explains why spiritual victory doesn't come from striving harder but from abiding more deeply in Christ. As we remain connected to Him through prayer, Scripture, worship, obedience, and fellowship, His truth, righteousness, peace, faithfulness, salvation, and Word become our strength in every spiritual battle. If you've ever felt spiritually weary, overwhelmed, anxious, or defeated, this episode offers practical encouragement and biblical hope. Learn why consistency in your relationship with Jesus is the key to standing firm when life becomes difficult. Key Takeaways: • The Armor of God is activated through abiding in Jesus. • Every piece of God's armor points directly to Christ. • Spiritual consistency produces spiritual strength. • You don't need more willpower—you need more Jesus.

Prayer doesn't have to be intimidating. Many believers struggle because they think they need perfect words or polished prayers before coming to God. But Scripture teaches something different: prayer is about spending honest, intentional time with our Heavenly Father. In this unique message, four pastors from OneChurch guide us through the timeless A.C.T.S. Prayer Method: • Adoration • Confession • Thanksgiving • Supplication Together, these four movements create a practical, biblical rhythm that helps us move beyond praying only in moments of crisis and into a daily life of abiding in Christ. The teaching explains that prayer begins by focusing on God's character, invites honest confession, cultivates gratitude, and encourages bringing every need before Him with trust. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or you've been following Jesus for years, this episode will encourage and equip you to develop a richer, more consistent prayer life.

Have you ever wondered if your past has defined your future? Have you ever felt like your failures, regrets, or mistakes were too great for God to overcome? In this powerful message from Ephesians 2:1–10, Jarod Phillips unpacks one of the most hope-filled passages in all of Scripture. Paul paints an honest picture of humanity's condition—we were spiritually dead, separated from God, and unable to save ourselves. But then comes one of the greatest turning points in the Bible: "But God..." Those two words change everything. Discover how God's incredible mercy and unfailing love rescue us through grace—not because of anything we've done, but because of everything Christ has already accomplished. Learn what it means to be made alive in Christ, raised into a new identity, and called to live out the purpose God designed specifically for you. In this message, you'll discover: Why grace can never be earned. What it truly means to be spiritually alive. How your identity is found in Christ, not your past. Why good works are the result of salvation—not the requirement for it. How God has uniquely created you to impact His Kingdom. Whether you're exploring Christianity, returning to your faith, or looking for encouragement in your walk with Jesus, this message will remind you that no life is beyond God's redemption and no story is beyond His ability to rewrite.

What if the greatest threat to your spiritual growth isn't open rebellion against God—but becoming comfortable with darkness while convincing yourself you're still walking in the light? In Living in the Light | Part 3, Pastor Ken continues our journey through Ephesians with a powerful teaching from Ephesians 5:1-14. Paul challenges believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace a life that genuinely reflects the character of Christ. This message explores what it means to imitate God as His beloved children, walk in sacrificial love, and pursue a lifestyle that honors Him. Pastor Ken unpacks Paul's warning against compromise, the danger of redefining sin, and the subtle ways culture can desensitize us to things that grieve the heart of God. You'll discover why discipleship is about more than avoiding obvious sin—it's about learning to discern what pleases the Lord. Through Paul's call to live as children of light, we are reminded that the Christian life isn't measured by how close we can get to the line, but by how closely we walk with Jesus. This message also examines the transforming power of God's light. Darkness conceals, deceives, and isolates, but the light of Christ reveals, heals, and restores. What remains hidden often remains strong, but what is brought into the light can finally be transformed. Whether you're wrestling with compromise, seeking greater spiritual maturity, or longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, this message is a compelling invitation to wake up, walk in the light, and live out the new identity God has given you. "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." — Ephesians 5:14 Join us as we discover what it truly means to live as children of light in a world that desperately needs to see the light of Christ shine through His people.

People do not live differently until they see differently. In Week 6 of our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken teaches from Ephesians 4:25-32, showing how the Christian life is not about behavior modification but transformation through a new identity in Christ. Paul challenges believers to put off the old self and put on the new self through honesty, self-control, generosity, encouragement, kindness, and forgiveness. This practical message reveals how a changed heart produces a changed life and how the Gospel not only saves us but teaches us how to treat others. Whether you're struggling with anger, relationships, forgiveness, or simply seeking spiritual growth, this message offers biblical wisdom for living as a child of light in a dark world. Scripture: Ephesians 1:18 Ephesians 4:17-32 Listen, share, and grow with us as we continue our journey through Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus.

Many people know about Jesus, but far fewer experience the transformation that comes from truly following Him. In this week's message from our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken explores Ephesians 4:17-24 and challenges believers to examine whether they are still living according to old patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving. The Apostle Paul warns Christians not to continue living like those who are spiritually disconnected from God. Instead, believers are called to walk in the light, allow the Holy Spirit to renew their minds, and embrace the new identity they have received through Christ. Pastor Ken explains how spiritual darkness begins when people reject God's truth and gradually become insensitive to His voice. Over time, a hardened heart develops, making it more difficult to recognize conviction, truth, and God's direction. But the good news is that transformation is possible. Through Jesus Christ, we are no longer defined by our old nature. We are invited to throw off the old self, renew our minds daily, and put on the new nature that reflects God's righteousness and holiness. You'll learn: • What it means to "walk" differently as a follower of Jesus • Why spiritual confusion begins with rejecting God's truth • The biblical meaning of a hardened heart • How repeated exposure to sin affects the conscience • Why Christianity is about knowing Christ, not simply knowing facts • How the Holy Spirit renews thoughts and attitudes • The connection between mindset and spiritual growth • Practical ways to live out your identity in Christ every day Powerful Takeaway: "Don't spend your life settling for the old self when God has already given you a new one." Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or seeking spiritual growth, this message will help you understand how God's truth can transform the way you think, live, and follow Jesus.

Many Christians spend years accumulating knowledge while remaining spiritually stuck. Why? Because information alone doesn't transform lives.

Why do so many Christians still struggle with insecurity, fear, shame, loneliness, and spiritual exhaustion… even after coming to Jesus? In this deeply powerful message from Ephesians 1, Pastor Ken Senchal reveals one of the most transformational truths of the Gospel: God didn't just forgive you — He adopted you into His family. Many believers know they are saved, yet still live with the mindset of spiritual orphans: • constantly insecure • afraid of rejection • distant from God • performing for love • disconnected from biblical community But through Jesus Christ, believers are welcomed into the family of God as sons and daughters with an eternal inheritance. In this message, Pastor Ken unpacks: • What it means to be adopted by God • The inheritance believers have in Christ • The role of the Holy Spirit as God's guarantee • Why relationship with God matters more than religious routine • How believers can stop living like slaves and begin walking confidently as children of God • Why isolation weakens spiritual growth • The importance of biblical community and fellowship This message is filled with biblical truth, hope, healing, and encouragement for anyone struggling with identity, fear, purpose, shame, or feeling far from God.

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Ken Senchal breaks down a truth many believers overlook: 👉 The enemy doesn't force entry—he exploits access.

Have you ever believed something that felt right… but later realized it was completely wrong? That's how deception works. In this eye-opening message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores one of the most important spiritual realities believers often overlook: the battle for your mind. Scripture reveals that spiritual warfare is not primarily about physical conflict but about truth versus deception. The enemy's greatest weapon isn't force — it's lies. Lies that distort our view of God, reshape our thinking, and ultimately redirect our lives. But there is incredible hope. Through Jesus Christ, the enemy has already been defeated. The challenge for believers is not winning the war — it's standing firm in the victory Christ has already secured. In this powerful teaching, you'll learn: • Why spiritual warfare begins in the mind • How deception disguises itself as truth • Why Satan's lies often feel believable • How daily prayer aligns your mind with God • Why scripture protects you from deception • How to take every thought captive in Christ • Why Christian community helps expose deception Freedom begins when we anchor our minds in truth. Whether you're battling doubt, temptation, anxiety, or confusion, this message will equip you with biblical tools to recognize deception and walk confidently in the life Jesus has given you.

What if the season you're in isn't God pulling away from you—but God preparing you for more? In this powerful message, Pastor Ken Senchal invites us into Jesus' teaching from John 15, where remaining in Christ is not only about closeness—it's about refinement. While many believers understand the importance of staying connected to Jesus, far fewer understand why God allows pruning in the lives of those who are already bearing fruit. This episode speaks directly to those moments when faith feels harder than expected—when loss, delay, closed doors, or conviction make it seem like God is taking things away instead of adding blessings. Pastor Ken explains why pruning is not punishment, but preparation, and how God lovingly removes what no longer produces life so that greater fruit can grow. You'll also discover how remaining connected to Jesus during seasons of pruning renews your mind, calms fear and anxiety, and restores spiritual clarity. Drawing from Romans 12, Galatians 5, and Revelation 3, this message shows how disconnection leads to fear-driven, emotional decision-making—while abiding in Christ restores peace, wisdom, and self-control through the Holy Spirit. If you're walking through uncertainty… If you're questioning why obedience feels costly… If you're tempted to pull away instead of lean in… This message will encourage you to hold tighter to the Vine, trust the Gardener, and believe that God is cultivating something new in your life. 👉 Take a moment to like, follow, and share this podcast so others can hear this life-giving message. 👉 For more messages, resources, and ways to get connected, visit OneChurch at www.youronechurch.com.

In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal walks through the powerful truth of the Gospel found in Romans 10:9–10, where Scripture declares that when we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved. Salvation moves us from spiritual death to spiritual life—from darkness into light. But salvation is only the beginning. Drawing from John 15:4–5, where Jesus says, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you… apart from me you can do nothing," Pastor Ken explains how real spiritual growth doesn't come from trying harder or being more religious—it comes from staying connected to Christ in a real, daily relationship. This episode also unpacks: Why many believers struggle to grow after coming to faith (Hebrews 5:12–14) The difference between religious routines and relational closeness with Jesus Jesus' personal invitation in Revelation 3:20 to open the door and share life with Him Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning to God, or feeling spiritually stuck, this message offers clarity, hope, and a simple next step: remain in Christ and let Him produce fruit in your life. 👉 If this episode encouraged you: ⭐ Like and follow the podcast so you never miss a message 🔁 Share this episode with someone searching for hope or meaning 💬 Leave a review or comment—it helps others discover the Gospel To learn more about Jesus or connect with OneChurch, visit www.youronechurch.com.

What if obedience doesn't require all the answers — just a willing heart? In Wise People Still Seek Him, Pastor Ken Senchal unpacks the powerful story of the wise men and reveals a truth that challenges us all: knowing about Jesus means nothing unless we act on what we know.

In this message, you'll discover: Why spiritual movement matters more than spiritual knowledge What obedience will cost — and what it will give back How God often calls us to take "another route" to protect and transform us How to recognize the "star" God is placing in front of you right now If you're feeling a nudge, conviction, or pull toward something deeper — this message is for you.

Joseph never preached a sermon. He never spoke a recorded word in Scripture. Yet his obedience helped change the course of history. In this powerful and practical message, Pastor Ken Senchal shines a spotlight on Joseph—the often-overlooked figure in the Christmas story—and reveals how God uses quiet, faithful obedience to accomplish extraordinary purposes. When Joseph discovered Mary was pregnant, he faced a decision that could have preserved his reputation or protected God's plan. Later, God repeatedly spoke to Joseph through dreams—calling him to stay, to flee, to return, and to trust. Each time, Joseph obeyed immediately, without hesitation and without knowing the full outcome. This message reminds us that discipleship isn't proven by what we say—it's proven by how we obey. You'll be challenged to reflect on: Why obedience often costs us something—but disobedience costs far more How obedience is built through daily, faithful choices rather than one big moment Why obedience is the bridge between God's promise and God's provision What it looks like to trust God even when the plan isn't fully revealed Whether obedience feels hard, scary, or costly right now, this message offers hope and clarity: God does His greatest work through ordinary obedience.

What if you could breathe again — even before life gets easier? In today's powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal, we dive into The Power of Contentment — a life-transforming truth from our ongoing Grateful Rebels series. Most people chase peace. But contentment is when peace finally chases YOU. Pastor Ken walks us through four biblical figures — Paul, Habakkuk, Job, and Hannah — each revealing a different dimension of supernatural contentment: • Paul shows that contentment is inner strength from Christ • Habakkuk shows how to rejoice when everything collapses • Job teaches us how to worship through wreckage • Hannah demonstrates how God settles our soul before He solves the problem This episode will realign your heart, steady your faith, and remind you that God's presence is enough in every season. 🎧 Listen, share, and send this to someone who needs peace today.

In today's Grateful Rebels message, Pastor Ken Senchal takes us deep into one of the most misunderstood — and most life-changing — principles in Scripture: the biblical tithe. Long before there was a law… long before Israel… long before the church… God was teaching His people to honor Him with their first and best. Abel brought God the firstborn from his flock. Abram brought a tenth to Melchizedek out of honor and gratitude. Jacob declared that everything God gave him, he would return a tenth to the Lord. Tithing wasn't born from rules — it was born from relationship. In this message you'll learn: • Why God uses the tithe to reshape our heart, not deplete our wallet • Why the early church continued the principle of "firstfruits" even after the law • Why Jesus corrected the Pharisees on tithing — not to stop it, but to reset it • How tithing breaks the power of greed, fear, comparison, and self-entitlement • How generosity positions your life under God's blessing • And why the tithe is still divinely blessed today This message isn't about what God wants from you — it's about what God wants for you.

In this powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal, we're invited to look at greed through a spiritual lens — not as a financial issue, but as a heart issue rooted in misplaced worship. When we forget who our Provider is, we start living like everything depends on us. But when we remember that God already owns it all, we can finally live open-handed, free, and full of gratitude. Through Scripture and story, Pastor Ken explores: Why greed is the idolatry of more — and how it quietly erodes our devotion to God What it really means when Jesus says, "You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24) How faith and generosity dismantle fear, anxiety, and scarcity thinking Why contentment isn't complacency — it's confidence in the character of God How eternal perspective reshapes the way we see possessions, purpose, and people You'll walk away challenged and inspired to rebel against the world's obsession with more by cultivating a grateful heart, practicing generosity, and refocusing your life on what truly lasts — eternity. 🎧 Listen now and learn how to shift from grasping to giving, from striving to trusting, and from greed to grace. 💬 If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend, and leave a review — every share helps us spread the hope of Jesus further and faster.

What do you do when life doesn't make sense, when the answers don't come, and the waiting seems endless? In this week's message, Pastor Ken Senchal challenges us to build staying power—the kind of faith that stands firm when the storm doesn't pass. Through the powerful story of Joseph, we uncover the four anchors that create real consistency: ⚓ Trust God when life doesn't make sense. Even when Joseph was betrayed, sold, and forgotten, he trusted that God was working behind the scenes. What feels like a detour is often divine direction. ⚓ Guard your integrity when no one's watching. Joseph could have compromised, but instead he honored God in private moments that defined his public destiny. Character under pressure reveals who we truly are. ⚓ Serve faithfully wherever God places you. Whether in Potiphar's house, in prison, or in the palace, Joseph worked with excellence as unto the Lord. God promotes those who stay faithful in the unseen places. ⚓ Choose forgiveness over bitterness. Joseph had every right to get even—but instead, he chose to forgive. Forgiveness freed his heart and positioned him for God's greater purpose. This episode will remind you that consistency isn't built in comfort—it's built in the struggle. When you remain faithful through difficulty, God is shaping the strength you'll need for destiny. 🎙️ Listen now and discover how to stay anchored in faith, integrity, service, and forgiveness when life tests your endurance. 💬 Don't forget to share, rate, and subscribe to spread encouragement and hope!

Most Christians don't miss their harvest because they don't love God — they miss it because they stop too soon. They lose steam when the results don't show up fast enough. In this convicting and timely teaching, Pastor Ken exposes the gap between good intentions and consistent obedience — and why the blessing of God is always found on the other side of endurance. Through Galatians 6:9 and examples like Noah and Daniel, we learn that: Prayer is not a religious task — it is the relationship that fuels your consistency God's Word is the tool that forms your character and anchors your decisions Small acts of daily obedience create tomorrow's breakthrough Your feelings do not determine your faithfulness — your decisions do God's favor follows those who keep showing up even when nothing seems to change If you've been tempted to quit, if you feel weary in well-doing, or if you've been waiting for God to move but haven't stayed consistent — this message will call you higher.
