Closing out this twelve week series through Acts, Pastor Adam turns to a married couple mentioned six separate times across the New Testament: Priscilla and Aquila. Ordinary tentmakers, they were living an established life in Rome until Emperor Claudius expelled every Jew from the city, an edict that displaced them into Corinth and, without their knowledge, directly into Paul's path. Pastor Adam frames the whole message around a phrase he felt God give him while studying the passage: "What looked like displacement became divine placement."The message builds around a single key word, integrity, illustrated through a seventh grade science class lesson on the space shuttle's heat tiles: when even one is out of place, the whole system fails on reentry. For Priscilla and Aquila, integrity meant a faith that showed up identically at work, on the road, and at home. Acts 18 shows them tentmaking alongside Paul. Romans 16 shows Paul thanking them for risking their lives on his behalf and greeting "the church in their house." And Acts 18:24 through 26 shows their most defining moment: quietly taking aside a gifted, eloquent teacher named Apollos, whose knowledge of Jesus was sincere but incomplete, and explaining "the way of God more accurately," not publicly, but over what Pastor Adam imagined as a shared cup of tea.That encounter becomes the message's working definition of discipleship: recognizing who someone can be in Christ and investing into that calling. Pastor Adam closes with a personal story of the people who took a risk on him when he'd given them every reason not to, and a direct challenge to identify one person worth developing and one ordinary space, a home, a workplace, a neighborhood, worth intentionally turning toward Kingdom impact.This is the fourth and final message in The Church Has Left the Building, a series through Acts that shifts the spotlight from the apostles to the ordinary believers who carried the gospel into their own neighborhoods, workplaces, and relationships.Key topics: How a forced move from Rome to Corinth became the setup for one of the New Testament's most enduring friendships and ministry partnerships What it means to have integrity across every sphere of life, illustrated through the space shuttle's heat tiles How Priscilla and Aquila discipled the gifted but incomplete teacher Apollos, and what that reveals about recognizing potential in others

Sea Change ChurchThe Book of Acts: The Church Has Left the BuildingS1E2 - Church in a ChariotPastor Harry WilsonActs 8:26-4026 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goesdown from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was anEthiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge ofall her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot,and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join thischariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do youunderstand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” Andhe invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he wasreading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer issilent, so he opens not his mouth. 33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describehis generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.” 34 And the eunuch said to Philip,“About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good newsabout Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuchsaid, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded thechariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptizedhim. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, andthe eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself atAzotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came toCaesarea.

Acts 6:1-101 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenistsarose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that weshould give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out fromamong you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we willappoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faithand of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, andNicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laidtheir hands on them. 7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of thedisciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to thefaith.Stephen Is Seized8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and ofthe Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputedwith Stephen. 10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he wasspeaking.BIG IDEAActs repeatedly shows that the mission of Jesus was never intended to depend on a handful ofextraordinary leaders. The apostles provide the foundation, but the expansion of the church happensbecause ordinary disciples—business owners, homemakers, servants, mentors, hosts, craftsmen,and unnamed believers—say yes to God where they are. The Holy Spirit empowers everydaypeople to make an extraordinary difference.

John 15:1-171 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit hetakes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you areclean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannotbear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine;you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from meyou can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; andthe branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide inyou, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear muchfruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father'scommandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,and that your joy may be full. 12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends ifyou do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what hismaster is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made knownto you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit andthat your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

Galatians 5:15-2615 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For thedesires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, forthese are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if youare led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexualimmorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger,rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you,as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong toChrist Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, letus also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,envying one another.Question: What does it mean to be Spirit Filled?Big Idea: The Holy Spirit does not merely make us supernatural; It is to make you more likeJesus in character first and acts of power second.● The Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit become part of a redeemed and transformed identity.○ 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a newcreation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."Fruit is grown. Gifts are given.The Fruit of the Spirit is the fruit of CHARACTER.1. Fruit reveals the nature of the tree.

Roots are○ Genesis 2:8–9: Matthew 7:17 So, every healthy tree bears goodfruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.○ Psalm 1:3: He is like a tree, planted by streams of water, that yieldsits fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does,he prospers.○ Revelation 22: Then the angel showed me the river of the water oflife, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of theLamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on eitherside of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit,yielding its fruit each month.The primary evidence of the Holy Spirit is not what we can do but who we are becoming.Key Ideas:1. Fruit is not manufactured, it is grown by tending that which brings life.2. Fruit will be consumed.Practical Takeaway: This week survey the tree that is your life. Where is it planted? How is itbeing tended? What needs to happen for it to begin to thrive and produce fruit?

And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me.” 32  His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.” 33 Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, “Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.” 34 As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!” 35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing.” 36 Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob?] For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” 37 Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?” 38 Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

Who are you, my son?” 19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.” 20  But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “Because the LORD your God granted me success.” 21  Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him. 24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”

So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the LORD before I die.’ 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you. 9 Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves. 10 And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.” 11 But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.” 13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”

April 19, 2026 Sea Change Church Future Glory: S1E2 - Echoes of Glory Pastor Adam Stadtmiller Matthew 17:1-9 ESV 1 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 9 And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” \

Exodus 33:18-2318 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”

April 5, 2026 Sea Change Church  Easter 2026 Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene Pastor Adam Stadtmiller John 20:11-18 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18  Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. 

March 29, 2026 Sea Change Church Palm Sunday “The King They Wanted vs. The King We Need” Joe Brandi, Pastor & Missionary John 12:12-19 12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!” 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.”

So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the LORD before I die.’ 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you. 9 Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves. 10 And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.” 

 March 15, 2026 Sea Change Church Genesis: Isaac, Jacob, and Esau S5E4: Reverse the Curse Pastor Harry WilsonGenesis 26:26-33 (CSB) 26 Now Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army. 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hated me and sent me away from you.” 28 They replied, “We have clearly seen how the Lord has been with you. We think there should be an oath between two parties—between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you: 29 You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the Lord.” 30 So he prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank. 31 They got up early in the morning and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace. 32 On that same day Isaac’s servants came to tell him about the well they had dug, saying to him, “We have found water!” 33 He called it Sheba. Therefore the name of the city is still Beer-sheba, today.Matthew 5:14-16: "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven". 

 March 8, 2026 Sea Change Church Genesis: Isaac, Jacob, and Esau S5E3: Dig Your WellPastor Adam Stadtmiller Genesis 26:17-25 17 So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there. 18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And he gave them the names that his father had given them. 19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water, 20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. 21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah. 22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So, he called its name Rehoboth saying, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.” 23 From there he went up to Beersheba. 24 And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.” 25 So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

The LORD blessed him, 13 And the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. 14 He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him. 15 (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.) 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

And Isaac went to Gerar to Abimelech king of the Philistines. Vs. 2 And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Vs. 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. Vs. 4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, Vs. 5 because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” 

 Healing Words: The Power of Jesus S1E3: Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in-law Pastor Joshua Pigg Matthew 8:14-17 (ESV) 14 And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.". 

This podcast explores the authority believers have in Jesus Christ to walk in spiritual freedom and to close any permission structures opened through sin, agreement, fear, or ungodly choices.Using the Book of Job as a framework, we examine the biblical picture of God as righteous Judge, the reality of heavenly courts, and the spiritual parameters that govern freedom or oppression. Scripture reveals that demonic activity does not operate randomly; it functions within boundaries established under God’s sovereign authority.Through both Old and New Testament context, we unpack how believers—through repentance, confession, forgiveness, renunciation, and faith in Christ—can revoke legal access given to the enemy and stand in the finished work of the Cross.This is not about fear or superstition, but about understanding the judicial nature of God’s Kingdom, the supremacy of Christ, and the practical application of our spiritual authority to live free from accusation, oppression, and spiritual harassment.At its core, this podcast teaches that Jesus is not only Savior and Healer, but Advocate and Intercessor—securing our standing before the Father and empowering us to enforce the victory He has already won.

 Sea Change Church Healing Words: The Power of Jesus S1E2: Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons Pastor Adam Stadtmiller Matthew 8:28-34 Vs. 28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. Vs. 29 And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” Vs. 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. Vs. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” Vs. 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. Vs. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region. 

 Jesus Cleanses a Leper Matthew 8:1-4 1 When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. 2 And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 

 Learning Curve Proverbs: Ancient Wisdom for a Modern World S4E4: The Woman Who Fears the Lord Pastor Adam Stadtmiller Proverbs 31:10-31 10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. 15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household s and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet 22 She makes bed coverings for herself. Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

 January 11, 2026 Sea Change Church Learning Curve: A Study of Proverbs S4E2: The Best Laid Plans Pastor Adam Stadtmiller Proverbs 16:1-9 ESV 1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit 3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. 4 The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. 5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished. 6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns away from evil. 7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice. 9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

Everyone longs for a true father. In this week’s message, we explore what it means to have a father’s heart—and how God, the ultimate Father, provides identity, direction, provision, and protection for His children.Through Scripture, we see that the role of a father is not just about earthly family but also about spiritual leadership within the Church. The Bible reminds us that while there are many teachers, there are few true fathers in Christ (1 Corinthians 4:15). God is calling us to grow into maturity so that we can reveal His heart to others.We’ll also reflect on the incredible love of the Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and how their eternal fellowship invites us into a relationship of love, security, and joy.No matter what you’re facing—guilt, mistakes, or struggles—you can confess the truth that your Heavenly Father is with you, always present and ready to help.📖 Key Scriptures: Ephesians 3:15 • Proverbs 12:10 • John 3:16 • Jeremiah 31:20 • Philippians 1:8 • Romans 8:15 • Galatians 4:6 • 1 Corinthians 4:15🙏 Questions for Reflection: How do your inner thoughts reflect (or contradict) Jesus’s promise to be with you always? Have you experienced the love of someone with a father’s heart in Christ? What does it mean that the Gospel is always Trinitarian?

Walking With a Limp | Elijah: Drought to Downpour – S1E6 Pastor Adam Stadtmiller | Sea Change Church | Sept. 21, 2025How long will you waver between two opinions? In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts Israel’s divided heart on Mount Carmel, calling them to stop “limping” between loyalties and choose who they will serve. God is searching for people who walk with undivided allegiance, not half-hearted devotion.🙏 Big Idea: God is searching for people who don’t limp between loyalties, but live in solitary allegiance to Him.📖 Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 18:17–21📝 Key Themes: When sin blinds you, conviction feels like trouble. Elijah stood firm while Israel limped between allegiances. A showdown with idols is often the turning point toward full devotion. Christ calls us to decisive allegiance: “No one can serve two masters” (Matt. 6:24).

What does authentic religion look like? In this message from our Stormproof series, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller teaches from James 1:26–27, reminding us that true religion isn’t about empty rituals—it’s about taming our tongues, caring for those in need, and living lives unstained by the world.

Is your faith something you live—or just something you hear?In Mirror, Mirror – The Danger of Deceptive Discipleship, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller dives into James 1:22–25 to uncover the trap of passive faith. God’s Word isn’t just meant to be heard—it’s meant to shape how we live.Like a mirror, Scripture reflects who we truly are. But if we walk away unchanged, we miss the blessing that obedience brings. Real discipleship begins when we stop admiring truth and start acting on it.To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people with the gospel, click here:https://seachangechurch.churchsuite.com/donate/📖 Scripture Reference:James 1:22–25

Is your anger leading you closer to God—or just reacting to the world? In A Righteous Anger, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller teaches from James 1:19–21, revealing that not all anger is bad—but not all anger is righteous either. James calls us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, because human reaction rarely produces God’s transformation.Anger can be a holy signal—but it must be filtered through the cross. True righteousness doesn’t rush in with rage; it slows down, listens up, and responds with the wisdom of Christ.To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people with the gospel, click here: https://seachangechurch.churchsuite.com/donate/📖 Scripture Reference: James 1:19–21#seachangechurch #stormproof #righteousanger #bookofjames #slowtoanger #faithinpractice #godlyresponse

In The Blessed Life, Pastor Joe Brandi unpacks James 1:12–15, challenging our culture’s view of blessing as success, wealth, or ease. James redefines blessing as the favor of God resting on those who remain steadfast through trials.Temptation tries to pull us off course, but God’s true blessing comes as we endure with His help. And the good news? Jesus, the truly Blessed One, remained steadfast for us—so our blessing is found in Him, not in our own strength.To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people with the gospel, click here: https://seachangechurch.churchsuite.com/donate/📖 Scripture Reference: James 1:12–15#seachangechurch #stormproof #theblessedlife #steadfast #faiththroughtrials #bookofjames #jesusourhope

What if the wisdom you need is just one question away? In Wisdom Is There For The Taking, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller continues our Storm Proof series with a message from James 1:5–8. When life throws you into confusion, conflict, or complexity, God invites you to ask—not earn—His wisdom. He gives generously, without shame, to anyone who seeks Him.Doubt doesn’t disqualify you. In fact, it can be part of how your faith is formed. But double-mindedness—living with one foot in trust and the other in self-reliance—leaves us tossed around like waves in the sea. Real wisdom comes when we fully turn to God and ask in faith.To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people with the gospel, click here: https://seachangechurch.churchsuite.com/donate/📖 Scripture Reference: James 1:5–8

What if your trial isn’t meant to break you—but build you?In Storm Proof: A Study in James, Pastor Joshua Pigg opens the series with This Too Shall Pass, a timely message from James 1:1–4. Life’s trials aren’t a question of if, but when—and James challenges us to face them with unexpected joy. Not because they’re easy, but because they have purpose.God doesn’t waste pain. Every test is forming steadfastness, every hardship shaping maturity. Your current struggle may feel heavy—but it’s producing something eternal in you.To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people with the gospel, click here:https://seachangechurch.churchsuite.com/donate/📖 Scripture Reference:James 1:1–4#seachangechurch #stormproof #bookofjames #trials #steadfastfaith #spiritualmaturity🎵 Looking for worship to guide your walk with Jesus?Listen to our latest singles out now!https://open.spotify.com/artist/3X8NYEXbZ8W6KrQVSSRWOW?si=MxWGBTEtSEqdKpvZo-mRKg
