Why Are We All So Afraid? | Pastor Corinne Mannes
We are living in anxious times. We track our sleep, our steps, our screens, every variable we can get our hands on, quietly believing that if we just control enough of them, nothing bad can reach us or the people we love. But we can't control it all. And underneath the effort, the fear keeps...
-
Get Ready to Go | Pastor Mike Mannes
The message of Jesus is still the most compelling thing in the world. So why does the church in the West feel like it is shrinking rather than growing? In this message Pastor Mike Mannes continues our journey through the book of Acts with a claim that reframes everything. It was never a power...
-
I'm In | Pastor Mike Mannes
Have you ever caught yourself just going through the motions? Heart beating, lungs breathing, days passing, and yet somewhere along the way you stopped feeling truly alive. In this message Pastor Mike Mannes zooms in on the centerpiece of the book of Acts, the moment Jesus tells a ragtag…

Unity Over Uniformity | Pastor Mike Mannes
Somewhere along the way, we stopped being able to stand beside people who see the world differently than we do. Different politics, different opinions, and suddenly we decide we can't be on the same team. In this message Pastor Mike Mannes picks up the story in the book of Acts, where the early...
-
The Best Is Yet To Come | Pastor Mike Mannes
When you lay your head on the pillow at night, does a quiet question ever rise up? Isn't there more to life than this? More than winning, more than pleasure, more than money, because somehow it never quite fills you. In this message Pastor Mike Mannes picks up the story in the book of Acts and...
-
This Could Change Your Life | Pastor Phil Hills
What if there was one simple habit, backed by decades of research, that led to stronger relationships, a more meaningful life, and a deeper sense of hope? There is. And it might surprise you. It might even trigger you a little.
-
Miracles | Pastor Leah Derksen
What do you do when hope starts to feel foolish? When you've prayed for the same thing so long that believing for it feels naive, even a little scary? Most of us have something like that. A situation we've quietly filed away. A prayer we stopped praying because it hurt too much to keep hoping. In...
-
People Are People | Pastor Mike Mannes
Who are the people you've quietly written off? The ones you've stopped praying for, the ones you've filed under "not for me"? If we're honest, most of us do it without even thinking. We split the world into these people and those people, us and them. In this message Pastor Mike continues our...
-
The Dates and The Dash | Pastor Mike Mannes
On a tombstone, there are two dates. And a dash in between. The dates are fixed. But the dash? That’s your life. And it hangs in the balance. The moment Jesus saves you, your eternity is looked after. But what happens between now and then is still being written. Pastor Mike draws from the story…

Be Still | Pastor Taylor Adams
What if the reason you can't hear God isn't that He's gone quiet? What if it's just that life has gotten too loud? In this message Taylor Adams gets honest about what it's like to run so hard you crash. The packed schedule, the constant noise, the nights you lay your head down and feel anything…

Why Am I Lonely? | Spencer Gruenhage
We are more connected than ever. And lonelier than ever. How does that happen? In this honest and personal message, Spencer digs into the loneliness epidemic with a real diagnosis. The problem isn't a lack of people around you. It's what's getting in the way of actually knowing them and being…

What's The Best I Can Do Today? | Pastor Mike Mannes
Most of us are carrying regrets. Things we did wrong, moments we can't take back, patterns we're not proud of. And the world around us is really good at reminding us of all of it. But Pastor Mike offers a better question. Not "why did I do that?" but "what's the best I can do today?" It's a…
more -
Because You Say So, I Will | Mike Mannes
Have you ever felt like the life you read about in scripture is real for everyone except you? That somehow the extraordinary, purposeful life Jesus offers works for other people, but there's something about you that just doesn't quite qualify? That feeling has a name. And Peter had it too. This...
-
Pride or Power | Pastor Mike Mannes
You can live for pride or you can live with power. But you can't do both. You've got to pick. Most of us have spent more time waiting for a Barnabas than becoming one. We've wanted someone to believe in us, to stand up for us, to speak life over us when everyone else was saying what we're not.…
more -
It Was Never Enough | Geoff Mader
What do you do when you get everything you thought would fix you, and it doesn't? In this personal and honest message, Geoff shares the story of growing up with an insatiable need for approval, how that followed him into church, into ministry, into marriage, and how a word from an old theology...
-
I Can't Believe Jesus Saved Me | Mike Mannes
Something happens to a lot of people after they've spent time in church. They go from being amazed at God's love to quietly annoyed at his low standards. From "I can't believe Jesus saved me" to "I don't really believe Jesus would save them." It's not a new problem. It happened in the early…
more -
The Power of a Pioneer | Pastor Mike Mannes
A pioneer is someone who goes first. In this Father's Day message, we discover how God uses ordinary people to create extraordinary impact through simple acts of faithfulness. Looking at the stories of Stephen, the woman caught in adultery, and the life of Terry Fox, we're reminded that history...
-
How Ordinary People Change The World
What if God wants to do something extraordinary through your ordinary life? In this message, guest speaker Aaron Treadway explores the story of Peter and John in Acts 3 and 4 and reminds us that God has always used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. The early church was not built...
-
Trust, Humility & Courage | Pastor Mike Mannes
What does it actually look like to let God move in your life? Not just in theory, but in the real moments where trust is hard, humility feels offensive, and courage requires you to step into something unfamiliar? This message opens part two of a journey through the book of Acts. Pastor Mike walks...
-
The Last Thing God Told You | Mike Mannes
Are you tired? Not just physically, but at a soul level? Dissatisfied with where you are but scared to move? Confused about which way to go next? You're not alone. Pastor Mike walks through the book of Jude and makes the case that faith is the mechanism by which God's victory becomes your…

Heaven Held Its Breath | Mike Mannes
What if the greatest triumphs of your life have nothing to do with what you've accomplished?

-
Murder is No Better Than Scrolling
What if the reason you can't hear God isn't that he's stopped speaking? What if it's just the noise? Most of us aren't living dramatically sinful lives. But many of us have quietly let our phones, our screens, and the constant buzz of distraction fill every quiet moment we have. And in those...
-
something you don't deserve | Mike Mannes
What do you do when someone shows you kindness you know you haven't earned? Most of us know what it feels like to chase something and still come up empty. To be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. To keep looking for the thing that will finally make life feel like enough, and...
-
Rule of Life | Mike Mannes
What if the restlessness you feel isn't a personal failing? What if it's just the result of the wrong system? A Rule of Life isn't about trying harder. It's about trying softer. It's a simple rhythm of spiritual practices that positions you to receive what Jesus is already offering. He is the…

Prayer, Fellowship + Confession

-
Celebration(Easter at Southside) | Mike Mannes
Why do we still celebrate Easter? In this message, we explore a powerful truth: the end of yourself is just the beginning. Every person eventually reaches a place where their own strength, effort, or success is not enough. A place marked by failure, hurt, or emptiness. But that place is not where...
-
Worship + Evangelism | Mike Mannes
What if the life you’re searching for is already within reach? In this message, we explore how God invites us into a life that is not driven by striving or stuck in waiting, but powered by His Spirit. Through worship, we remind ourselves of who God is. Through evangelism, we share that reality…

Study + Serving | Mike Mannes
What does it actually mean to grow spiritually? In this message, we explore two spiritual practices that shape our lives with Jesus: study and serving.

-
The Harvest | George Franco
In this message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the weeds from Matthew 13 and what it teaches about growth, patience, and purpose. Every seed has a place and every seed has a purpose. God intentionally plants people in specific places so their lives can grow and produce fruit. Yet in...

-
Fasting, Frugality + Sacrifice | Mike Mannes
Storms are not optional. They are inevitable. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives a picture of two builders. One digs deep and builds on rock. The other settles for sand. The difference is not hearing His words. It is putting them into practice. This message explores three postures...
-
Manna Mindset | Southside Church
What if freedom is not just about leaving something behind, but learning how to trust God in what comes next? In Manna Mindset, we explore the journey of Israel from slavery to promise. God brought them out of Egypt, parted the sea, and provided bread from heaven. But He was doing more than…

Silence, Solitude + Rest | Pastor Mike Mannes | Southside Church

Radically Alter The World

Step In Week 3 | Who Are You? Who are you really? In Week 3 of the Step In series from Southside Church, we explore how identity shapes the direction of our lives.

That'll Leave A Mark
Life leaves a mark. In this message from the Step In series, we talk about the pain, patterns, and shame that follow us from our past. Often without realizing it, we make inner vows to survive hurt and rejection, and those vows slowly shape who we become. Through personal stories and Scripture,...
