What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

The enemy rarely begins with a dramatic act of rebellion. More often, he starts with a simple question: "Did God really say?" In this message, Karl Gibson explores the enemy's strategy from Genesis 3 and reveals how compromise often begins with small shifts in our thinking, priorities, and obedience. Through practical examples and biblical teaching, Karl challenges us to examine where we've begun questioning God's Word, God's motives, or God's boundaries. As followers of Jesus, we're called to build our lives on the firm foundation of God's truth—not our feelings, culture, circumstances, or personal preferences. When we remain rooted in Christ, we can recognize the enemy's tactics, resist compromise, and walk in the holiness and freedom God has for us. Whether you're navigating challenges in your faith, marriage, family, or personal walk with God, this message is a powerful reminder that lasting transformation comes through surrender, repentance, and alignment with Jesus.

In this teaching from 1 Corinthians 12, Jed Kasica unpacks God’s design for the body of Christ and the vital role every believer plays in the church. Drawing from Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church, this message addresses unity, spiritual gifts, identity, and belonging, reminding us that the church thrives when each member embraces their God-given purpose. Jed challenges both inferiority and superiority mindsets, encouraging believers to stop comparing themselves to others and instead live out the calling God has placed within them. Whether seen or unseen, every gift matters, and every person is essential to the health and mission of the church. This sermon is a call to move from spiritual complacency to active faith, reminding us that we are the hands and feet of Jesus—called to serve, love, and build the Kingdom together.

In this timely message from Jed Kasica, we reflect on the reality of persecution, courage, and bold faith in light of recent events and the global church. Drawing from Philippians 1, this sermon explores how suffering has always been used by God to advance the gospel, strengthen the church, and awaken believers to live with greater conviction. Through the example of the Apostle Paul—and the testimony of modern believers who have laid down their lives for Christ—we’re reminded that faith is not meant to be hidden or passive, but lived out boldly and publicly. This message challenges the church to stand firm in truth, unity, and courage, even in the face of opposition. Be encouraged to live a life worthy of the gospel, to contend side by side for the faith, and to trust that what the enemy intends for evil, God will use for good.

In this Foundation Sunday message from Jon Groves, we explore what the church does as part of God’s Kingdom. Building on Foundation Stone #5, this teaching unpacks five essential practices of a healthy, biblical church: living by faith, worshiping God, praying continually, and engaging deeply with the Word of God. This sermon challenges believers to move beyond belief alone and into active faith, reminding us that faith requires action. You’ll hear practical teaching on worship as a lifestyle, prayer as ongoing conversation with God, and Scripture as the church’s offensive weapon against the gates of hell. Be encouraged to step fully into your role in the body of Christ and live out the Kingdom God is building—together.
