Sunday At The Grove

Every human being is searching for peace — in relationships, in vacations, in achievements, in escapes. But most of us never stop to ask why. In this Easter Sunday message, "Back to Eden," Dr. Phillip Martin answers that question by taking listeners from the very first garden in Genesis to the New Garden in Revelation 22, with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the turning point between...

Most of us say we believe in the resurrection — but does the way we actually live our lives show it? In this message from 1 Corinthians 15, Dr. Gary Alley walks through the ancient Christian Creed embedded in Paul's letter to the Corinthians and presents compelling historical evidence that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a myth — it is the most well-supported event in ancient history,...

Biblical manhood is under pressure—from pride, from isolation, and from desires that feel too strong to control. In “The Man Who Stands – Part 2,” Dr. Phillip Martin continues the  Becoming the Man He’s Never Seen  series in Psalm 15 and unpacks three men we’ve all seen (and often have become): the prideful “I’m the man” man, the isolated “man with no name,” and the man who “had to have it” and lo...

What kind of person can stand in God’s presence and know they belong there? In this sermon, “The Man Who Stands,” from the series Becoming the Man He’s Never Seen , Dr. Phillip Martin walks through Psalm 15 and paints a clear picture of the “Psalm 15 man,” a person marked by integrity, loyalty, and unshakable character.

What kind of parent are you really raising your children to become? In this sermon — "The Man Who Is Followed" — part of the series "Becoming the Man He's Never Seen" — we open Proverbs 20:7 and take an honest, sometimes uncomfortable look at how the way we live shapes the children we raise. Dr. Phillip Martin walks through 8 types of dads (from the Devoted Dad to the Ancho...

Outside of salvation, the greatest step of faith you'll ever make is who you marry. So why do so many marriages end up in survival mode instead of thriving? In this message from the Becoming the Man He's Never Seen series, Pastor Philip gets brutally honest about the state of marriage — the different types of husbands and wives, why 80% of marriages are quietly struggling, and what God act...

A new sermon series on biblical manhood starts here. Pastor Phillip Martin opens up about the crisis facing men today: the absence of godly role models, unspoken struggles with anxiety and depression, and the cultural confusion about what it means to be a man. If you're a man feeling lost or struggling in silence... a wife trying to understand your husband... a parent raising boys... or anyone...

Have you ever felt like God isn't listening to your prayers? Or worse...have you considered that maybe you've stopped listening to Him? In this convicting and encouraging message,Dr. Phillip Martin tackles one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: What happens when we stop listening to God? Drawing from Zechariah 7 and Matthew 7, he reveals the sobering consequences of spiritual...

Discouragement is more dangerous than most people realize—because it rarely stops at discouragement. In this Sunday message, we finish the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year (or Waste Your Life)” with a powerful final point: when discouragement lingers, it can turn into disheartenment , then drift into indifference , until a person becomes emotionally and spiritually cold. Using John 16:33 ,...

In this message from John 16:33, we confront one of the most common ways believers waste their year and their life: living in discouragement. Jesus never promised a trouble free life. He promised peace in the middle of pressure. This sermon explores how fear, stress, failure, and outside voices drain courage and quietly keep believers on the sidelines. It also reveals why discouragement is not jus...

In this Sunday message, we continue the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” with a full walk through Romans 12 . This episode tackles two common patterns that derail spiritual growth and relational peace: 1) Remaining stubborn and refusing to change 2) Feeding comparison and contempt Romans 12 reveals how conformity to the world’s pressure can harden the heart—leading to bitterness, resentmen...

Life is short. Time is limited. And God has entrusted every one of us with something. In this message from Matthew 25, Pastor Philip launches the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” by confronting one of the most common spiritual traps: playing it safe. Using the Parable of the Talents, he challenges believers to stop burying their gifts out of fear and start living with active, obedient fait...

Are you praying generally or specifically? In this message, Pastor Tyler explores the "one-page" book of Philemon and a specific prayer that has the power to transform our families and our church. It is easy to stay within the safety of church walls, but the Great Commission calls us to go where the mess is. This teaching breaks down why "comfort" is a dangerous place for a bel...

Christmas may be over, but the light of Christ is not seasonal. In this Sunday-after-Christmas message, we explore John 1:1–5 and the powerful truth that Jesus is the Living Word—fully God, present before creation, active in creation, and present with us today. John teaches that in Him is life, and that life is the light for humanity. This light shows the way, pushes back darkness, and cannot be o...

What is salvation, really? Not the version we repeat, assume, or reduce, but the version Jesus actually teaches. In this sermon from the Salvation series, Pastor Philip takes listeners deep into John chapter 3 and the late-night conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. This message connects the fall in Genesis, the fear of exposure, and the human tendency to hide, showing how those same patterns...

This message presses past surface level Christianity and challenges what salvation actually is. Pastor Philip Martin walks through Genesis 3, John 3, Romans 5, and Numbers 21 to show why sin always produces shame, hiding, and self-covering, and why those patterns still shape religious culture today. Jesus tells Nicodemus that life only comes through rebirth, not behavior, knowledge, or effort. Jus...

This sermon opens our salvation series by challenging the assumptions that many people carry about what it means to be saved. The message walks through creation, the fall, the entrance of death, and God’s first promise of redemption in Genesis 3:15, setting the stage for why rebirth is essential and why so many misunderstand it. If you want a clear and honest look at what salvation truly is, where...

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Phillip teaches from Luke 19 as Jesus meets Zacchaeus in Jericho. This message breaks down the journey from Capernaum, the cultural context of tax collectors, and the contrast between Zacchaeus and the rich young ruler.

If you’re battling an emotional storm, fighting fear, or trying to hold your life together while everything shakes, this message will speak directly to you. You’ll learn how storms strip away what doesn’t matter, expose what’s driving your life, and show...

In this message, Pastor Philip Martin walks through the story of the rich young ruler and the hard truth Jesus taught about giving. The man didn’t walk away because he was poor—he walked away because he had too much. Jesus doesn’t need what’s in your hands. He wants your heart. When you’re willing to let go, you discover that God’s blessings aren’t just eternal—they’re personal, immediate, and ove...

In this message, Dr. Gary Alley teaches from Colossians 3 using the analogy of a recipe to show how God shapes our character. Every believer is a work in progress, and what we put into our hearts determines who we become. Paul’s call to the Colossian church was simple: take out the wrong ingredients and fill your life with the right ones. The “secret ingredient” that brings it all together is a th...

What happens when someone says “I love you” but their actions leave deep emotional scars?

In this deeply honest sermon, Pastor Philip Martin reflects on receiving heartbreaking news about a fellow pastor and speaks to anyone who feels emotionally drained, spiritually numb, or mentally overwhelmed. Drawing from Philippians 4:6–7, he explains how anxiety attacks the heart and mind, and how Jesus offers a peace that defends both—especially when life feels heavy. Through the stories of Han...

In this message, Pastor Philip teaches from Revelation 3 about the church of Laodicea—the community that thought they had everything but had shut Jesus out. “Lukewarm Faith” is a wake-up call for believers drifting toward comfort instead of conviction. Jesus said, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.” He invites us to repent, open the door, and walk in real relationship with Him....
