The Family Church

The concept of church is often misunderstood by believers and nonbelievers alike. What does God really say about His Church? Why go to church at all? Is it really necessary? Why does it seem to work for some and not others? Instead of gathering on Sunday mornings, we could be doing something else, or in today's world, we could stay at home and watch online. What is it about church that keeps peopl...

Today's world offers so many things that we can be troubled over. Jesus encourages us in John 14: "Don’t let your hearts be troubled." It sounds easy at first, but we can often be troubled anyway, especially when our hearts aren't completely prepared for something. In this message, Pastor Derek Capello talks about curing our troubled hearts: not with money, health, or more understanding, but with...

Without God, a nation will eventually fall. America has held a legacy of strength, faith, heroism, and greatness for decades, and it has changed history forever by holding on to the belief that humanity is created by the Almighty God. Our nation has a bright future ahead of it; however, it is not perfect, and more than ever, every vote and every voice matters. In a world where many are searching f...

God never intended for us to wander through life aimlessly. In every moment and season, God constantly speaks to us; can you hear Him? Is His voice clear? Or is it buried in the noise? God's never-ending voice can get lost in the distractions of life that can so easily pull us away from what's most important. When we allow God's voice to direct our steps, it opens new possibilities for Him to ampl...

With whatever you put your hand to, there will be things that you need to know. To be successful in life, you have to have the right tools; the wrong tools will create a costly mess. Often times, a solution can be simple, but bad information can lead to useless pain. The key is to invest in the right resources. As a believer, if you're going to accomplish everything God has for you, there will be...

There are times in life where the battle lasts longer than we anticipated. When we're under pressure for a long time, battle fatigue can begin to set in, and we start to get weary. We can start to wonder if the fight is worth fighting or if the journey is worth continuing. God promises us a harvest of blessing on the other side, but to get there, even when it's hard, we must not give up. In this m...

Often times, we can let our environment and circumstances get in the way of living a full life. If something worked in a past season, it doesn't always help us overcome barriers in the current season, but with the favor that God promises, we can overcome anything. In this message, Pastor Jay talks about being the exception to the rule and breaking limitations over our lives.

When life happens, one of the easiest things that we can end up doing is looking to what will give us pleasure instead of the things of God. The more we consistently seek our pleasures, the less that a life with Christ will appeal to us, and pretty soon, we can find ourselves stuck. In this message, Pastor Nate DeLeon gives us a word of encouragement—that even if we feel empty and distant from God...

Whether we assume the worst or expect the best, we normally get what we expect. God wants us to believe that He will work in our lives in big ways, but because of fear, doubt, or life experiences, we can often settle for less. In this message, Pastor Jay talks about how we can live life with expectancy for the things of God.

No matter how hard we may try, we can't escape pain on this side of eternity. Whether physical or emotional, we don't like it. It doesn't feel good. It hurts. It makes us want to give up. The good news is, there is a purpose for every single time that we experience pain. In this message, Pastor Regan Miller talks about the ways that God uses our pain to push us closer to His promise.

Without a word from God, we tend to default to fear. What's your word? What's the word for your family in this season of your life? What's His promise that you're holding on to? In this message, Pastor Jay shows us that when a word from God comes, it brings faith, and when we have faith to believe God's promises, not only is fear diminished, but we don't give the enemy room to bring havoc into our...

In the Bible, Daniel's life suddenly blew up. The Babylonians thrust him and his friends into a new life and a new culture that they had little if any knowledge of, and they were expected to conform to a new and ungodly lifestyle. In 2020, we had to adjust to a new norm, but it didn't change the culture. We still live in a time where many people don't make room or time for God, and the temptation...

Between boredom, busyness, illness, and an onslaught of emotions, COVID-19 physically, mentally, and spiritually took a lot out of people and their families. When we go through an unprecedented storm, the altar of our lives can often fall to the wayside, and as a result, we can forget that God is in control. In this message, Pastor Scott Bledsoe shows us that through daily surrender, we can start...

In May 2020, eyes turned from the coronavirus pandemic to a newly emerged issue: the death of George Floyd. Years of injustice and hatred were brought up, thousands took to the streets in protest, and people strived harder than ever for a solution. The truth is, despite our best efforts, the world cannot achieve equality or unity on its own. The problem is, in fact, sin, and throughout history, hu...

Life isn't always fair. There are times when it's not so serious, like when an adult cuts in line. But, there's also more serious times, like when the undeserving person gets the promotion. It's in these times that it's easy to find everything wrong we can about others while finding every reason to justify ourselves, and if we're not careful, we can refuse to give others the grace we ourselves nee...
