Jesus gave a simple but sobering warning when He said: “Remember Lot’s wife.” In this New Year dedication sermon, Pastor Ryan walks through the life of Lot, Lot’s wife, and Abraham to show how easily our attention, work, and ambition can drift toward the world. Using Scripture from Luke 17 and Genesis 13–19, this sermon exposes the danger of divided allegiance and challenges believers to fully dedicate their lives to the Kingdom of God. As we step into a new year, the question is not what you want to build, but what you are willing to dedicate to the Lord.

In John 5, Jesus shows us some of the truths about His identity found anywhere in the Gospels. Through four powerful “for” statements in verses 19–23, Jesus reveals that He is God. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan walks verse by verse through John 5:19–47 to show why Jesus is undeniably God, how His authority proves His divinity, and what that means for us as believers. Since Jesus truly is equal with the Father, then our response must go beyond belief into obedience, trust, and faithful action in the work He has called us to do.

At the Pool of Bethesda, a man had been waiting for healing for thirty-eight years. When Jesus approached him, He asked one of the most piercing questions in Scripture: “Do you want to be healed?” In this teaching, Pastor Ryan unpacks what that question means for us today. Many of us say we want healing, spiritual, emotional, or physical, but sometimes we find comfort in our pain, identity in our struggle, or fear in change. Discover how to move from complacency to faith, from comfort to obedience, and from waiting to walking in healing.

What is one of the most important things you can do for your faith to be strengthened? As we move through the 2nd half of John 4, we see that not only did the Samaritans and Royal Official hear about Jesus, but they pursued Him even more. From that, a faith in God was made stronger. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches how we can move from a following to a pursuit of Jesus that results in a stronger faith and stronger family.

What if Jesus was ready to offer you the gift of freedom and joy? Would you take it? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches through the first part of the account of the woman at the well.

Trust or vulnerability? Learn in this teaching how you can become face to face with Jesus and find healing in your heart. 

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches through John 3:22-36 where John the Baptizer tells his disciples that he must decrease and Jesus must increase. In our life, do we struggle getting in the way of God, trying to do things He should be doing? Are we, without even thinking about it, increasing while God is decreasing? How can we learn to step aside and let God lead us and allow Him to increase all the more in our life? The answer is found in one word.

God's love is something we all long for and want more of, but sometimes it feels out of reach. As we continue in the Gospel of John we come across the famous verse in John 3:16 and in this sermon Pastor Ryan teaches us through how we can know God's love more deeply. 

Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, full of curiosity and questions.

When Jesus entered the temple in Jerusalem, He found it filled with noise, business, and distraction. So He made a whip, drove out the merchants, and declared, “Do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from John 2:13–25, showing that Jesus is still cleansing temples today. We are now the temple of God, and He desires to remove what defiles and fill us with His light and holiness. Discover how to allow the Holy Spirit to purify your heart, renew your devotion, and restore the peace and power of God’s presence within you.

In John 2, Jesus performs His first miracle, turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. But this miracle was more than a display of power; it was a sign pointing to His identity as the divine Bridegroom and His mission to purify His people from the inside out. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan explains the rich symbolism behind this event, from the Jewish purification jars to the wedding imagery woven throughout Scripture, and shows how Jesus invites us to be cleansed, sanctified, and prepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

From the humility of John to the curiosity of the first disciples, this passage reveals how every invitation from Jesus leads to transformation.

What anchors your faith when life feels uncertain? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan begins our journey through the Gospel of John, exploring the link between strong faith and Jesus found in John 1:1–18.

Many women feel crushed by the “Proverbs 31 woman” as though it’s an impossible checklist of perfection. But this chapter is not a burden—it’s a celebration of the woman as helper, created with strength and dignity to partner in God’s mission. From the creation of Eve in Genesis 2, to the wisdom literature of Proverbs, to the New Testament vision of godly women, we see a picture of devotion, not perfection. This sermon explores how Proverbs 31 was originally understood, why it points to a helper role modeled on God Himself, and how women today can embrace their God-given calling with freedom and joy rather than pressure and guilt.

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from Genesis 32 and the story of Jacob wrestling with God to uncover what it truly means to become a godly man. Before we try to model Jesus in our lives, we must first know Him personally. This passage reveals three profound truths about pursuing a relationship with God, wrestling with His will, and allowing Him to transform us into the men He has called us to be. Whether you’re a father, husband, leader, or simply a man seeking to walk faithfully with Christ, this sermon will challenge you to press into God, surrender your strength, and be marked by His presence.

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from about what it means for families to live on mission for Christ. Families today are pulled in every direction by culture—chasing success, comfort, busyness, and image. The early church modeled something radically different: strong faith that produced strong families. Discover how God calls families to reject the world’s way, anchor themselves in Scripture, pray together, and live on mission. A family doesn’t become strong by accident—it’s intentional. 

In this sermon from The Way series, Pastor Ryan teaches on The Way of Vulnerability—a core part of how the early church lived out their faith in Jesus. Acts 2:42 shows that the first believers were committed to walking in honest confession, radical forgiveness, and bearing one another’s burdens. In a culture built on honor and shame, they chose transparency with God and each other, knowing that true healing and unity only come when nothing is hidden in the dark.

What were the first Christians truly devoted to? Acts 2:42 tells us that the early church was committed to the Apostle’s teaching. But what exactly were the Apostles teaching—and why is it still essential for us today? In this message, Pastor Ryan Lovett helps us rediscover the foundation of biblical discipleship: being rooted in the Word of God.You'll see how the early believers built their lives around the truth Jesus gave through His Apostles, and why this same devotion is critical for our faith now. In a time when voices and opinions are everywhere, we need to get back to the truth that doesn't change.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan Lovett dives into the ancient roots of the Christian faith—known in the first century as The Way—and unpacks what real devotion looked like for the early church. From Acts 2:42, we discover that the first believers were devoted not out of convenience, but through deep, Spirit-empowered loyalty.Today, many struggle with shallow commitment, spiritual apathy, or busyness. But biblical devotion is persistent, intentional, and sacrificial. This message will challenge you to reorient your life, renew your passion for Jesus, and reclaim the kind of gritty, enduring devotion that shaped the early Church.

What if the silence of God wasn’t abandonment—but invitation? In this message, Pastor Ryan teaches from the book of Job and shows that when God doesn’t answer with explanations, He often answers with revelation. Through Job’s suffering, we see that the greatest gift God can give us is not always clarity—but closeness. Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of that promise: the visible image of the invisible God. If you’ve been in a season of silence, suffering, or searching for answers—this message is for you. You’ll be challenged to shift your prayer from “God, give me answers” to “God, show me Your face.”

What do we do when God is silent? When prayers feel unanswered, and the silence is deafening? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan walks through the unseen ways God moves in our lives—even when we can’t hear Him. Drawing from the story of Esther, the book of Job, and Ephesians 6, we discover that God’s silence does not mean His absence. You'll learn how to be strengthened in the silence by putting on the armor of God and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit.

When life get's overwhelming and stressful, what can we do? Jesus offers us a solution, but it's not what you would normally think. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to make an exchange; our way of living for his way of living. He invites us to become His disciple. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan goes through what it would have meant to be a disciple under Jesus as the Jewish Rabbi to His disciples and how that offers us a yoke that is easy and burden that is light.

Our focus today is on 1 Chronicles 29:19, a short but powerful prayer David prays for Solomon—one that reveals something vital about how we should live our lives for God.

In a world of confusion, compromise, and spiritual noise, discernment isn’t optional—it’s necessary. In this teaching, we explore how to grow in spiritual discernment by developing three key perspectives: the supernatural perspective, which helps us see beyond what’s physical; the eternal perspective, which aligns us with God’s larger purposes; and the biblical perspective, which grounds us in truth. If you’ve ever felt unsure about what God is doing, misread a situation, or reacted to something that wasn’t what it seemed—this teaching is for you. Learn how to become a spiritually discerning person who walks in clarity, wisdom, and power, even when everything around you feels unclear.

Division doesn’t always start loud—but it always starts deep. In this powerful sermon, we unpack 1 Kings 11–12 and the spiritual anatomy of division: where it begins, how it spreads, and how to disarm it before it destroys what God is building in your life. Drawing from biblical truths in James 3, Romans 16, Titus 3, and Matthew 12, we reveal how unresolved anger, selfish ambition, and unforgiveness form the perfect storm for division to thrive. This is more than a message—it’s a call to heal your heart so healing can flow through your words. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the weapon of division can be disarmed—starting in your own heart.

In today’s teaching, Pastor Ryan dives into one of the most sobering moments in David’s life—and what it reveals about spiritual vulnerability in our own hearts. What’s in me that Satan could use against me? God allowed David to be tested, and Satan found an open door. If it could happen to David, it can happen to us. But there’s hope: by allowing God to search our hearts, confessing what’s hidden, and living surrendered to Him, we can close every door the enemy tries to use. Prepare your heart, and let’s walk in freedom together.

On this Palm Sunday we look at two contrasting statements between the Pharisees and Jesus. The former believe Israel has gone after Jesus, while Jesus laments on how they have missed His visitation.
