  1. 34

    Compassion in Gethsemane

    (Sermon Score: 95/100) What if Gethsemane wasn’t mainly about fear of the cross, but the crushing weight of divine compassion? In this Easter message, Fletcher explores the startling pattern behind every miracle Jesus performed and offers a fresh lens on the agony in the garden. This is a message about compassion, suffering, resurrection, and the invitation to become part of Christ’s healing body on the earth.

  2. 33

    Durable Faith

    (Sermon Score: 93/100) What does durable faith look like when life gets hot? In this message, Fletcher explores the kind of faith that does not collapse under pressure but learns to feast on God in the middle of the valley. Through scripture, honest reflection, and vivid illustrations, this sermon invites you to stop rationing peace, stop gripping for control, and discover the presence of God right in the middle of the struggle.

  3. 32

    The Hope That Pulls Us Into Presence

    (Sermon Score: 93/100) Hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s the force that drives the human soul forward. Scripture speaks of two kinds of hope: a quiet, patient waiting and a stretched, trembling hope formed under tension. In this Advent message, Fletcher Groeneman explores both, showing how God uses tension—not to break us, but to draw us behind the veil and into His presence. This sermon unpacks the Hebrew and Greek roots of biblical hope, the way maturity changes how we wait, and why only God’s spoken promise can create the kind of hope that anchors your soul and pulls you toward Him.

  4. 31

    Weakness

    (Sermon Score: 92/100) What if weakness isn’t what you’re bad at — but what you’re good at that still isn’t enough without God? In this message, Fletcher Groeneman explores the biblical pattern seen in Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Paul: calling reveals weakness, not comparison. Weakness is exposed vertically, not horizontally. It’s the gap between human capacity and divine assignment — the very place where God’s power rests. This sermon invites you to stop magnifying your flaws and start asking for purpose, so you can see the places where only God can fill the gap.

  5. 30

    The Wound Without the Healer

    (Sermon Score: 82/100) When we’re taught about evil without being shown grace, we inherit the pain but not the pathway to healing. In this message, Fletcher Groeneman unpacks how outrage can masquerade as righteousness, how moral vigilance can become a prison of offense, and how only Jesus can turn discernment into compassion. From history class to the cross, this message invites us to trade outrage for mercy and rediscover the heart of the Healer.

  6. 29

    Un-Offendable: The Power of a Peaceful Heart

    (Sermon Score: 91/100) We live in a culture addicted to offense. But what if freedom isn’t found in getting justice, but in surrendering it? In this message, we explore the power of becoming unoffendable; how offense traps us, distracts us, and blocks our peace. Through scripture, personal stories, and a practical 10-level guide, this sermon invites you to let Jesus transform your heart into one that is untouchable by offense; not through willpower, but by walking in supernatural peace.

  7. 28

    Hello, Halo - Part II

    (Sermon Score: 84/100) In Part II of Hello, Halo, we explore the last four common misconceptions about heaven—and replace them with truth that reorients our lives today. Heaven isn’t an escape plan, a boring church service, or a personality reset. It’s the fulfillment of God’s story, already at work in us. Eternal life has already begun, let’s live like it.

  8. 27

    Hello, Halo - Part 1

    (Sermon Score: 91/100) What if heaven isn’t just your destination, but your orientation? In this opening message of the Hello Halo series, Fletcher and Angie Groeneman explore the first of five common misconceptions about heaven — and why seeing it clearly changes everything about how we live now. Real stories, scripture, and a fresh invitation to peer through the glass dimly.

  9. 26

    The Kingdom Doesn’t Take Sides

    (Sermon Score: 93/100) This convicting message explores what really happens when we encounter God’s presence. Using stories from Scripture, and a hilarious Subway coupon debate with his brother, Fletcher reminds us that the Kingdom of God doesn’t come to prove us right or others wrong. It comes to take over. Whether it’s pride, offense, or righteous indignation, everything falls flat when truth himself walks into the room.Discover why grace, not being right, is the true mark of the Kingdom.

  10. 25

    The Soil of a Soft Heart

    (Sermon Score: 96/100) Jesus said the secret to the entire Kingdom of God is found in one parable: the parable of the sower. In this message, we take a deep dive into the soil of the heart: how it gets hard, why roots fail, and what it means to bear fruit that lasts. You’ll discover how repetition, disappointment, and distraction can shape your soul more than you realize - and how Jesus wore the curse so your heart could become good ground. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stuck, dry, or numb, this message is an invitation to soften, surrender, and grow again.

  11. 24

    Revival Rides on Dreamers

    (Sermon scrore: 89/100) In this message, Fletcher unpacks why so many of us struggle to dream with God, how judgment quietly binds our imagination, and what the story of Jacob and Esau reveals about breaking free. If your dreams feel small, stuck, or silenced, this word will help you grow restless in the best way — and step into the unbinding God has for you.

  12. 23

    Headlight Theology: The Illusion of Control

    (Sermon Score: 94/100) Are you flashing your spiritual brights, hoping to turn life’s red lights green? In this thought-provoking and surprisingly funny message, Fletcher explores why so many of us feel burned out—even when we’re doing “all the right things.” With stories about AI, anxious disciples, and yelling at movie screens, this sermon exposes the illusion of control and invites us back to real rest: surrendering to the One truly in charge.

  13. 22

    Hidden

    (Sermon Score: 92/100) True righteousness isn’t measured by performance or pain—it’s produced in secret when we abide in God. In this honest and humorous message, Pastor Fletcher shares a hilarious camp story, exposes the trap of spiritual scorekeeping, and challenges us to lay down our resume and reconnect with the vine.

  14. 21

    Ready & Waiting: Without Delay

    Ready & Waiting: Without Delay (Sermon Score: 91/100) is about preparing your heart for a kairos moment — those rare, divine windows where heaven touches earth and everything can shift. Fletcher Groeneman explores the season between Ascension and Pentecost, when the disciples waited not passively, but with unified expectation.Through Scripture, personal stories, and raw spiritual honesty, this message confronts our tendency to delay obedience, spiritualize hesitation, and seek comfort or consensus when God is calling us forward. If you’ve ever missed a moment and wished you hadn’t — or feel one approaching — this is your call to be ready.Because when the lover knocks, delay isn’t just hesitation. It’s disobedience dressed as wisdom.

  15. 20

    A New Thing

    A New Thing (Sermon Score: 91/100) challenges the comfort of past successes and invites you to release even your wins to make room for God’s next move. Preached on Memorial Day weekend, this message honors what came before — the sacrifices, the stories, the miracles — while confronting the hidden danger of clinging to what used to work. Through personal stories, Scripture, and raw reflection, Fletcher Groeneman reminds us: the greatest threat to your future success might be your past success.If you’re sensing a shift, if God is stirring something new in you — this is your word.

  16. 19

    From Mercy to Grace—and Into Abundance

    (Sermon Score: 90/100) This message explores the radical difference between mercy and grace—and the abundant life that follows. Mercy withholds punishment we deserve, but grace gives us blessings we could never earn. Drawing from scripture, stories, and the parable of the prodigal son, this sermon challenges the survival mindset that settles for just being forgiven. You weren’t just saved from hell—you were invited into inheritance, favor, and co-heirship with Christ. Learn what it means to stop living like a servant and start living like a son.

  17. 18

    Secret of Rest

    The Secret of Rest (Sermon Score: 94/100) explores how true rest isn’t escape from work but dwelling with God in the midst of it. Through personal stories and the poetic structure of Genesis, Fletcher unpacks the biblical concept of menūḥāh—a divine rest rooted in presence, peace, and purpose. This message challenges fear-based definitions of rest and invites listeners to stop striving for relief and start abiding in God’s rhythm of rest as relationship, not recovery.

  18. 17

    From Presence to Purpose

    From Presence to Purpose (Sermon Score: 91/100) is a powerful message about the difference between soaking in God’s presence and contending for His spoken word. Fletcher shares how true transformation and calling are only activated when we receive a rhema word from God—His living, specific direction for our lives. Drawing from Scripture and personal stories, the sermon challenges believers to stop settling for comfort alone and start persistently seeking a word that will launch them into their next season with purpose and responsibility.

  19. 16

    Fear is a Terrorist

    Fear is a Terrorist (Sermon Score: 89/100) is a powerful message about how fear subtly negotiates for control in our lives—room by room, inch by inch—until we find ourselves imprisoned in spaces we were meant to rule. With personal testimony, biblical insight, and a fiery charge to occupy the territory God has given us, this sermon exposes fear as a bluffing giant and calls us to respond like David: with faith in motion, courage rising as we move, and a refusal to ever again surrender our ground.

  20. 15

    Tassels Not Bows

    Tassels Not Bows (Sermon Score: 92/100) explores the difference between seeking one-time miracles and cultivating a life of ongoing dependency on God. Drawing from the stories of Naaman, Elijah, and Peter, this message reveals how God ties miracles together like knots in a tassel—not to conclude our struggles, but to build a visible testimony of His faithfulness. Rather than idolizing resolution, we’re called to build altars with the dirt of our last breakthrough, so others may encounter the same living God through our journey.

  21. 14

    Puzzling Unity

    Puzzling Unity (Sermon Score: 92/100) unpacks Jesus’ prayer for believers to be one—just as He is one with the Father—and explores how each of us carries a unique identity, gift, and need designed to interlock with others. Using the metaphor of a puzzle, Fletcher challenges us to embrace both our strengths (nubs) and our needs (gaps), recognizing that true spiritual maturity isn’t independence, but interdependence. This message calls the church to move beyond surface connection and into covenantal, magnetic unity that reveals Christ to the world.

  22. 13

    What's in Your Hand

    What’s in Your Hand? (Sermon Score: 95/100) is a powerful message about how God often brings breakthrough not by giving us something new, but by multiplying what we already have. Through personal testimony and biblical examples—from Moses’ staff to a widow’s oil—Fletcher shows how obedience, even in crisis, turns ordinary resources into extraordinary miracles. The sermon challenges us to stop waiting for more and instead recognize, surrender, and activate what God has already placed in our hands.

  23. 12

    Wonder

    Wonder (Sermon Score: 96/100) is a deeply personal message about identity—not just on earth, but in eternity. It explores God’s intentional design in placing unique purpose within each of us, not to erase who we are, but to refine and fulfill it. Through scripture and reflection on God’s pattern of separation and reunion, this sermon reveals how we are not insignificant but essential—called to reign, rule, and reunite with Christ as His radiant bride. It’s a call to stop striving and start abiding, embracing the eternal wonder of who God created us to be.

  24. 11

    Discerning and Hearing God’s Voice

    Discerning and Hearing God’s Voice (Sermon Score: 94/100) is a practical and personal message about learning to recognize how God speaks. It explores how God’s voice brings healing, clarity, comfort, and direction—while also exposing the subtle ways the enemy distorts truth through trauma, emotion, logic, and distraction. Through stories, scripture, and reflection, this sermon calls us to quiet our souls, tune out interference, and tune in to the voice that brings life.

  25. 10

    Wallowing

    (Sermon Score: 92/100) This message unpacks the spiritual trap of wallowing—getting stuck in cycles of shame, self-pity, and false relief. Using 2 Peter 2 and the metaphor of pigs returning to mud, Fletcher explores how wallowing feels safe, familiar, even comforting—but ultimately keeps us from walking in our identity and calling. He challenges us to break the cycle by shifting from self-focus to service, stepping into our place in the body of Christ, and living from overflow instead of emptiness.

  26. 9

    Quiet Life

    Quiet Life (Sermon Score: 95/100) confronts the culture of performance in the modern church and calls us back to the power of hidden faithfulness. In a world obsessed with platform, influence, and applause, what if the real transformation starts in your storage unit, your closet, your quiet obedience?Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4:11, this message contrasts the concert church with the hospital church, challenging us to trade spectacle for substance and noise for depth. Through personal stories, Scripture, and raw honesty, Fletcher Groeneman reminds us that micro diligence leads to macro change — and that a life lived in secret with God is never small in the Kingdom.

  27. 8

    Transformative Discomfort

    (Sermon Score: 93/100) What if the discomfort you avoid is the very thing God wants to use to transform you? In this episode, we unpack how modern culture—and even the Church—has become addicted to comfort and preference. From AI-driven personalization to consumer-style worship, we’ve learned to treat God like a service provider rather than a King. But Jesus didn’t cater to comfort. He challenged it—especially in John 6, where He delivers one of His most offensive teachings: “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood…” Many walked away, but those who stayed discovered life.We explore why discomfort isn’t the enemy—it’s often the doorway to spiritual breakthrough. Drawing from Scripture, cultural insights, and personal conviction, this message invites you to stop measuring worship by how it makes you feel and start asking how it shapes your soul.

  28. 7

    The Paradox of Readiness

    (Sermon Score: 96/100) What if the feeling of not being ready is actually the very qualification God is looking for? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ instructions to his disciples in Mark 6, where he sends them out with nothing but a staff—no food, no money, no backup plan. Through this lens, we uncover the paradox: God doesn’t require readiness, He requires willingness. You’ll hear reflections on deliverance, healing, and why God’s power flows best through empty vessels. Plus, a powerful vision shared by Bill Johnson about placing a crown on Jesus’ head—smudged with fingerprints, yet transformed into beauty. If you’ve ever felt unqualified or hesitant to step into your calling, this message will meet you right where you are.

  29. 6

    What's Our Prize

    (Sermon Score: 94/100) Is God’s presence your prize—or just the perks that come with it? In this episode, we explore the extravagant generosity of God and the deeper kind of surrender that goes beyond miracles, breakthroughs, or visible blessings. Through the story of Moses in Exodus 33, we unpack the profound moment where God hides Moses in the cleft of the rock—not to reveal everything, but to show just His back, His afterglow. Why? Because true glory is often seen only in retrospect.We contrast visible gifts like healing and provision with hidden treasures found only in intimacy and sacrifice—where no one else sees the cost but you and God. Whether you’re in a mountaintop moment or a cleft-of-the-rock season, this message calls us to anchor our worship not in what we receive, but in who He is. The prize isn’t the promised land. The prize is His presence.

  30. 5

    Practice IS Perfect

    (Sermon Score: 91/100) Is perfection really out of reach—or have we misunderstood what it means to be perfect? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ command to “be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect” and uncover how maturing, learning, and following God daily is perfection. Rather than chasing flawlessness and falling into shame, we’re invited to live in communion with the Spirit and redefine perfection as faithful growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in guilt for not “arriving,” this message will set you free.

  31. 4

    Kingdom of Gifts

    (Sermon Score: 96/100) What if the Kingdom of God was right within your reach—but everything about it offended your flesh? In this message, Kingdom of Gifts, we explore how God’s Kingdom operates on three radical rules: everything is an undeserved gift, there’s no penalty for your mistakes, and you must forgive others. While these truths sound like good news, they confront the deepest instincts of control, fairness, and justice in us. Discover why so many forfeit the Kingdom—even as it’s “at hand”—and how you can choose to live in God’s generous, upside-down reality every day.

  32. 3

    Unity

    Unity (Sermon Score: 84/100) challenges the idea that unity is optional — revealing it as the hinge point for revival. Drawing from Scripture, metaphor, and personal story, he explores how pride, offense, and misalignment quietly block the flow of God’s Spirit. If you’ve been craving breakthrough, this sermon shows why unity isn’t a pleasantry — it’s the pipeline for heaven’s power.

  33. 2

    Where’s Your Key?

    Where’s Your Key? (Sermon Score: 82/100) wrestles with the confusion of why unsaved friends sometimes seem to find freedom, peace, and breakthrough outside of faith — and what that reveals about the generosity of God and the purpose of intimacy with Him. From the tension around the “name of Jesus” to a powerful metaphor drawn from the Grand Californian Hotel, Fletcher Groeneman unpacks the difference between enjoying God’s common grace and holding the key to private access — the kind only relationship can give.

  34. 1

    Dreams Come True

    (Sermon Score 94/100) When Jesus turned water into wine, the miracle began long before anyone saw the results—and the people who saw it happen weren’t the ones who asked for it. In this message, we explore how obedience often feels unrelated to the dream, how God works behind the scenes, and why it’s time to start dreaming with Him again. If you’ve been discouraged, delayed, or stuck in survival mode, this message will stir your faith and help you pick up your dream list again.
