Beyond Church

If your faith has cooled off and you’ve quietly gotten used to living without what God promised, this conversation is for you. In this standalone message, Landon Parker and Mona Parker sit down for a God talk about something Pastor Nate taught on recently: if I’m pulled from promise, I’ll be pulled from purpose. They walk through Paul telling Timothy to stir up the gift of God already in him, and...

Maybe God told you something a long time ago, and life has punched you in the face enough times that you’ve started believing Him for a little less. This one is for you. On Wednesday night, Pastor Nate shares from Joshua 1 and Isaiah 58 about what happens when the enemy goes after the promises God has spoken over your life: if he can pull you from the promise, he can pull you from your purpose. Th...

Maybe you’ve always thought “the mission” was for missionaries and pastors, and your job, your family, and your Tuesday afternoons don’t really count. This message is for you. In this standalone message, Ken Taylor of Nations 180 shares what God has been doing across the French-speaking world through the partnership with Beyond Church, then opens up 1 Corinthians 3 to show that every follower of J...

If you've been asking God what He wants you to do and it feels like nothing is coming through, this message is for you. He may not be silent at all. In Fully His — Part 2, Pastor Evan wraps up the series by unpacking what it really means to have a yielded heart. Starting from Isaiah 1:19, she shows why God puts willing ahead of obedient, and why so many of us struggle to find His will when we...

You might think the small thing you do at church goes unnoticed. It doesn't, and it matters more than you know. In this Wednesday Family Service message, Lisa Harless walks through the teams and generations that make up Beyond Church and shows how each one plays a part. She starts with the parking lot and the welcome sign by the road and goes all the way to the kids running to the altar. Along...

If you've been asking God for more while holding tightly to a few things He's already put His finger on, this message was preached with you in mind. In Fully His — Part 1, Pastor Evan Schlegel opens a two-week series by walking through what it looks like to live a life on the altar. She looks at the rich young ruler, who had kept every commandment but couldn't let go of the one thing J...

Maybe there's something you've prayed about so many times that you've quietly stopped bringing it up. Jesus told us to keep knocking, and He meant it. In our Night of Prayer, Landon takes us back to the prayer Jesus gave His disciples and the story He told right after it. We talk about why the unseen realm is more real than the one in front of us, what it means to be seated with Christ...

You still come to church, you still serve, and you still know what God asked you to do months ago. This message is for the person quietly hoping He won't bring it up again. In this standalone message following Pastor Nate's series "I Said To Myself," Landon takes on the question that series left him with: what are you actually doing with the grace of God? Starting in Titus 2 and...

You still show up, you still know the words, and yet something has gone quiet. This message is for the person who is starting to wonder if it even matters anymore. In I Said To Myself — Part 4, Pastor Nate closes the series by drawing the line between hearing what God says and actually seeing what He is saying. Walking through Eli and Samuel, David's response in Psalm 51, and Pharaoh's ref...

You know what God asked you to do. You just keep finding reasons why it can wait, and most of them are named after somebody else. In I Said To Myself — Part 3, Pastor Nate Schlegel goes after the one thing that quietly stops more obedience than outright rebellion does, and it isn't sin. It's comparison. God puts a desire in you and expects it to turn into a decision, but somewhere between...

You already know the thing He asked you to do. Knowing it was never the problem. In I Said To Myself, Part 2, Pastor Nate Schlegel takes apart the quiet argument most of us are having with God and losing without realizing it. Grace does not stop at saving you. It teaches you, it directs you, and it supplies the power to actually do the thing it told you to do, but none of that moves until you coop...

Isaiah 40 says to prepare a way in the wilderness, and that preparation happens in prayer. In this Night of Prayer message, Mona Parker teaches that roads are created by words, and that Spirit-led prayer is how we partner with God to clear a way for his glory to be revealed in our families, in this church, and in the River Valley. She walks through the three platforms people pray from, and why the...

You already know what you should do. You just don't want to do it, and you've gotten really good at explaining why. In So I Said To Myself, Part 1, Pastor Nate opens a four-week series on holiness by starting somewhere most people don't expect: the conversation running inside your own head. He walks through 2 Timothy 2, Isaiah 6, and John 7 to make a case that what you say to yourself...

You've probably wondered it, even if you'd never say it out loud. I know He can. I'm just not sure He will. In this Wednesday night message, Mona Parker walks through what Scripture actually says about God's will to heal, starting with the leper in Mark 1 who told Jesus, "If you will, you can make me clean," and the two words Jesus answered with. She's honest about th...

Some weeks you don't need more information. You need rain that keeps falling long enough to actually soak in. In this Sunday gathering from August 9, Pastor Nate shares what the Lord kept putting on him all week while he prayed over the service, a fresh flow, and then makes room for it instead of moving on. This one is different from a normal Sunday. It's mostly worship, thanksgiving, and...

You prayed for it. You got it. And somewhere between the answer and today, you quit saying thank you. In The Power of Thanksgiving, Part 1, Pastor Nate opens our fall small group session by walking through the ten men Jesus healed in Luke 17 and asking the question that stings a little: where were the other nine? They weren't ungrateful people. They were healed and immediately busy with the de...

You've prayed the prayer. You've said the words. And nothing has moved. There's a reason, and it isn't that God is being distant. Pastor Jeremy Pearsons takes the question most of us are too polite to ask out loud and refuses to file it away under "we'll never understand." He walks through the open door of faith in Acts 14 and Romans 5, showing that the door God opene...

Every fifth Wednesday, our whole church family comes together in one room no separate classrooms, no split services. Just everybody, together. This week was one of those nights. We played games, took up a student-led offering, worshiped together, and heard three of our own students step up and share honest testimonies about anxiety, obedience, and contentment real things they're wrestling with...

You've asked everyone you know. You've read every opinion. And you still don't know what to do. In this message, Pastor Evan Schlegel makes the case that you already have access to the one voice you haven't consulted yet. This message is about learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's leading in ordinary life, the kind of decisions you're making right now about a job, a move,...

If you've been watching the world fall apart and wondering what you're supposed to do about it — this is the message you needed to hear. In this Night of Prayer message, Susan Fletcher lays a bold, scripture-grounded foundation for why prayer isn't a last resort, why Christians aren't spectators in a spiritual war, and what it actually looks like to contend for God's will in a...

If fear has been driving your decisions lately, this one's for you. You're not weak for feeling it, but you don't have to obey it. Pastor Evan unpacks why fear isn't a feeling to manage but a spirit to resist, and why the way out of it isn't just standing still, it's moving forward. Drawing on the story of Israel at the Red Sea, this message shows how fear convinces us the...

There's a version of faith that hides in the crowd and calls it humility. This message is for the person who knows they're playing it safe and is ready to stop. In Playlist — Part 6, Pastor Nate preaches from Mark 2 anchored around Brandon Lake's "Tear Off the Roof" — and the question running through the whole message is simple and uncomfortable: if the King really is in the...

You're not just raising kids. You're leaving them a playlist. And it's already playing. In Playlist Part 2, Pastor Nate walks through one of the most convicting questions a parent can sit with: not what are you teaching your children, but what are they watching you choose? This message reframes parenting away from performance and perfection and toward something more honest that our kid...

Have you ever looked around and felt like there's so much need, so many people who don't know Jesus, and wondered what you could possibly do about it? In this message, Pastor Nate looks at what Jesus said about the harvest: it's plentiful, but the laborers are few. He walks through what it means to actually pray for that, not just say it, and what it looks like to be ready when God ope...

The devil hasn't learned any new tricks. He's been using the same old lies for thousands of years. The good news? Once you can spot them, you can stand against them. In this message, Kevin walks through Ephesians 6:10-18 and unpacks nine common deceptions the enemy uses to keep believers stuck: that he's not real, that you can't win, that the Bible isn't literally true, that yo...
