Episodes
-
"Spiritual Assertive Discipline"
Spiritual maturity doesn't happen accidentally. Following Jesus calls us to develop healthy boundaries, practice obedience, receive correction, and intentionally choose the things that shape us into His likeness. This week explores what it looks like to live with spiritual conviction while…

"The Father I Know"
The story of Jonah reveals far more than a reluctant prophet and a giant fish. It gives us a window into the heart of God. He is compassionate, patient, just, merciful, and relentless in His pursuit of people. Before we can reflect our Father, we need to know what our Father is really like.
-
"Take Accountability for Your Actions"
High-road leaders take ownership instead of shifting blame. When we accept responsibility for our choices, apologize when necessary, and make things right, we build trust and demonstrate genuine spiritual maturity.
-
"Embrace Authenticity"
People are drawn to leaders who are honest, consistent, and real. Authentic leadership means allowing who we are in public to match who we are in private while having the courage to lead without pretending to be someone else.
-
"Place People Above Your Own Agenda"
Plans and goals matter, but people matter more. High-road leaders refuse to use people merely to accomplish an agenda; instead, they listen, care, and lead in ways that honor the people God has entrusted to them.
-
"Develop Emotional Capacity"
Leadership places demands on our hearts as well as our abilities. Learn how growing in self-awareness, patience, resilience, and emotional maturity helps us respond wisely when relationships and circumstances become difficult.
-
"Give More Than You Take"
High-road leadership is marked by generosity rather than self-interest. Following the example of Jesus, we are called to invest in others, serve freely, and leave people and places better than we found them.
-
"Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons"
Integrity is more than doing what looks right—it is choosing what is right from a heart with the right motives. This message challenges us to examine not only our actions, but also the reasons behind them.
-
"Acknowledge Your Humanness"
Strong leaders don’t pretend to have everything together. By acknowledging our weaknesses, limitations, and mistakes, we make room for humility, growth, grace, and deeper relationships with those we lead.
-
"Value All People"
Every person carries God-given worth. High-road leaders recognize that value, treating people with dignity and respect regardless of their position, influence, background, or what they can offer in return.
-
"Bring People Together"
High-road leaders don’t create division—they build bridges. In a world quick to choose sides, discover how Christlike leadership can bring people together around a shared purpose while making room for different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
-
"Do You Love Me?" (Peter)
After failure, denial, and regret, Jesus doesn’t start with correction—He starts with a question: “Do you love me?” This final message is about restoration, calling, and moving forward. Your past doesn’t disqualify you. Love for Jesus becomes the foundation for everything that comes next.
-
"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me? (Matthew 27:46)
From the cross, Jesus voices a question that echoes human pain and suffering. This message steps into the tension of feeling abandoned and reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God is still at work. What feels like silence is not absence.
-
"Do You Also Want To Leave Me?" (John 6:67)
When following Jesus gets difficult, many walk away. Jesus turns to His disciples and asks if they want to leave too. This message confronts the cost of following Christ and calls us to a deeper, anchored faith that doesn’t walk away when things get hard.
-
"Do You Believe This? (John 11:26)
In the face of loss, grief, and unanswered questions, Jesus speaks life—and then asks a defining question: “Do you believe this?” This message challenges us to trust Jesus not just in theory, but in reality—especially when circumstances don’t make sense.
-
"Who Touched Me?" (Luke 8:45)
In a crowded moment, one quiet act of faith stands out. When a woman reaches out to Jesus, He stops and asks, “Who touched me?” This message highlights the power of personal faith—that even in the middle of the crowd, Jesus sees you, knows you, and responds to your faith.
-
"Why Are You Terrified?" (Matthew 8:26)
In the middle of a storm, fear feels natural. But Jesus asks His disciples why they’re afraid while He’s in the boat with them. This message unpacks the tension between fear and faith, reminding us that the presence of Jesus doesn’t mean the absence of storms—but it does change how we face them.
-
"Who Do You Say That I Am?" (Matthew 16:15)
There are plenty of opinions about Jesus—but at some point, it becomes personal. Jesus turns the question directly to His disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” This message explores how our answer to that question shapes everything—our faith, our identity, and the way we live.
-
"What Do You Want Me To Do For You?" (Mark 10:46-52)
Jesus asks a blind man a question that seems obvious—but it reveals something deeper. Sometimes we’ve lived with brokenness so long, we stop asking for change. This message challenges us to get honest about what we truly need from Jesus and to bring bold, faith-filled requests before Him.
-
"What Is In Your Hand?" (Moses)
Moses felt unqualified, overlooked, and unsure—but God wasn’t asking for what he didn’t have. He asked, “What is in your hand?” This message reminds us that God often uses what’s already in our hands—our gifts, our experiences, even our limitations—to accomplish His purpose. It’s not about having...
-
"Where Are You?" (Adam & Eve)
The first question God asks in Scripture isn’t about information—it’s about invitation. When Adam and Eve hide, God steps in and asks, “Where are you?” Not because He lost them, but because they lost themselves. This message explores how sin leads us to hide, how shame distorts our identity, and...
-
"God Most High, Pt. II"
In this final message, we turn our attention to the nearness of God—His presence with us in the everyday moments of life. God is not far off. He is not removed from our reality. He is God Most Nigh—close to the brokenhearted, present in the ordinary, and attentive to the details of our lives. We...
-
"God Most High, Pt. I"
In this 2-part message, we focus on the greatness of God—His authority, His power, and His sovereignty over all things. God is not limited. He is not uncertain. He is not reacting. He is God Most High—above every circumstance, every struggle, and every unknown we face. And yet, His power isn’t...
-
"You Are Powerless"
All series long, we’ve been exposing the lies that quietly shape the way we think, live, and see God. And one of the most crippling is this: that you are powerless to change—that you’re stuck, defined by your past, and destined to repeat the same patterns. In this final message, we confront that...
-
"Faith Promise"
This Sunday, we step into something bigger than ourselves. Faith Promise is an invitation to trust God beyond what we can see—believing that He can work through us to reach people across the street and around the world. It’s not about equal giving, but equal sacrifice… each of us responding in...
-
"God's Love Is Conditional"
Many people live with the subtle belief that God’s love must be earned—kept by performance, lost by failure, and measured by how well we live. When we succeed, we feel close to Him. When we fall short, we assume He pulls away. In this message, we confront the lie that God’s love is conditional…
more -
"The World Is Out Of Control"
Every headline, every scroll, every conversation seems to echo the same message: things are falling apart. Chaos is rising, truth feels blurred, and control feels like an illusion. It’s easy to believe that the world is spiraling beyond repair. In this message, we confront the fear-driven lie…
more -
"The Bible Isn't Relevant For Today"
In a culture that’s constantly evolving, many people quietly wonder if the Bible still has anything meaningful to say about modern life. Is it outdated? Out of touch? Or simply unnecessary in a world driven by progress and personal truth? In this message, we confront the lie that Scripture has…
more -
"Faith Backed-Up"
What good is faith if it’s never proven? Easter is more than a story we believe—it’s the moment that validates everything Jesus ever said and did. When the tomb was found empty, it wasn’t just a miracle… it was proof. Proof that sin was defeated, that death was conquered, and that hope is alive.…
more -
"The Importance of Prayer (James 5:13-16)"
Prayer is not a last resort—it’s central to the life of faith. James highlights the power of prayer in seasons of suffering, joy, sickness, and sin. This final message invites the church to become a praying community that depends on God together.
-
"The Rich and the Poor (James 5:1-6)"
James speaks boldly about wealth, injustice, and the responsibility that comes with influence and resources. This message confronts the dangers of misplaced trust and calls God’s people to live with generosity, justice, and compassion.
-
"Submit & Draw Near (James 4)"
James 4 reminds us that many of the conflicts around us begin with the desires within us. When pride and self-interest take the lead, they pull us away from God and from one another. James calls believers to a different posture: humility and surrender. Join us as we learn to lay down pride and…
more -
"The Power of the Tongue (James 3:1-12)"
Our words carry tremendous power to heal or to harm. James paints a vivid picture of how the tongue shapes relationships, communities, and spiritual life. This week calls us to greater awareness and surrender of our speech to God.
-
"Faith Without Works Is Dead (James 2:14-26)"
Genuine faith is more than belief—it’s faith that shows up in how we live. James confronts the gap between what we say we believe and how we act. This message challenges us to examine whether our faith is alive, active, and visible.
-
"Asking for Wisdom (James 1:5-8)"
When life feels confusing or overwhelming, God invites us to ask for wisdom without hesitation or doubt. James reminds us that God gives generously, but calls us to trust Him fully. This week explores what it means to seek God’s wisdom with confidence and faith.
-
"The Test of Faith (James 1:2-4)"
Faith is often formed in seasons we wouldn’t choose. James challenges us to see trials not as obstacles to faith, but as the very means God uses to grow perseverance and maturity. This message invites us to rethink hardship and trust God’s work in the testing.
-
"Do To Others As You Would Have Them Do To You"
We end with one of Jesus’ most famous yet rarely practiced teachings — the Golden Rule. This week, we imagine what could happen in homes, workplaces, friendships, and our city if we actually lived it out.
-
"Give To Everyone Who Asks"
Jesus’ vision of generosity is limitless and open-handed. This message challenges us to loosen our grip on our time, possessions, and comfort — seeing everything we have as something God can use to bless others.
-
"Turn The Other Cheek"
While culture shouts “fight back,” Jesus models a strength that refuses retaliation. Turning the other cheek isn’t weakness — it’s choosing to trust God with justice and refusing to let offense rule our hearts.
-
"Bless Those Who Curse You"
Words carry power — to wound or to heal. Instead of returning harm for harm, Jesus calls us to bless, speaking life when others speak death. This week, we wrestle with how blessing becomes a spiritual weapon and a witness to God’s kingdom.
-
"Love Your Enemies"
Jesus’ way of love extends even to those who oppose us. This message invites us to see enemies the way God does — as people worth loving, praying for, and pursuing with grace.
-

-
"Me First?"
This Sunday we close out 2025 with a challenge from Acts 1:1–11 — to live a Spirit-empowered, others-focused life as we enter the new year. Jesus calls His followers to be His witnesses beginning right where they live and extending out into the world. Instead of living “me first,” we are invited…

"A Savior Is Born"
The wait is over. The promise fulfilled. In this final message of the Advent season, we rejoice in the birth of Jesus — Emmanuel, God with us. Hope has come, light has broken through the darkness, and the Savior of the world is here.
-
"A Savior Needed"
Before we can celebrate His birth, we must recognize our need. In this message, we reflect on why humanity needed saving — and how only Jesus could rescue us from the weight of sin and restore what was lost. His coming meets our deepest need with unfailing love.
-
"A Savior For All"
The birth of Jesus wasn’t just good news for some — it was good news for everyone. This week, we celebrate that the Savior came for all people, breaking barriers and extending grace to every heart willing to receive Him.
-
"A Savior Foretold"
Long before the manger, God had a plan. In this message, we look at the promises and prophecies that pointed to the coming of Jesus — reminders that God’s timing is perfect and His Word never fails. Even in seasons of waiting, He is faithful to fulfill what He has promised.
-
"Give To Live"
In a world that says hold on tightly and look out for yourself, Jesus teaches something radically different — that real life is found in generosity. In this standalone message, we’ll explore what it means to live open-handed with our time, resources, and hearts. Giving isn’t about loss; it’s…
more -
"Articles of Faith #4"
As we conclude our journey through the Articles of Faith, we focus on the promises and practices that keep our hope alive and our faith grounded. We begin with baptism and communion, the sacred symbols of our faith that remind us of who we are in Christ — cleansed, renewed, and continually...
-
"Articles of Faith #3"
This week, we explore what it truly means to be made new in Christ and to live as His people in the world. Through justification, we are declared righteous — not because of anything we’ve done, but because of what Jesus has done for us. Through regeneration, God transforms our hearts, giving us…
