Everybody wants power. Power to fix their life. Power to silence anxiety. Power to finally feel like they matter. But what if the reason you feel powerless… is because you’re plugged into the wrong source? In Week 1 of our new series “Who’s Got the Power?” , we look at three lives in Acts — a King who rose, a coward who was restored, and a counterfeit that collapsed — and discover this truth: The...

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is let it end. In Week 7 of our relationship series, we talk about the hardest decision many people face — knowing when to walk away. Not every relationship is meant to last forever, and staying simply because you’ve invested time, emotion, or history can quietly cost you your future. Using Philippians 3 and key biblical principles, this message unpac...

Most people spend months planning a wedding… and almost no time preparing for a marriage. In this message, we talk about what no one tells you: every marriage begins with a funeral. When you say “I do,” something has to die — your selfishness, your old patterns, your independence. If the “me” doesn’t die, the “we” won’t survive. We walk through four major fault lines that make or break a marriage:...

5 Dating Lies | Relationship Series Part 5Culture has discipled the way we date more than Scripture—and most of us don’t even realize it. We copy what we see, chase what we feel, and call it normal… even when it’s quietly breaking us. But God’s design for relationships was never confusion, compromise, or cycles of heartbreak—it was clarity, holiness, and life. In this message, we expose five commo...

Welcome to Part 3 of our Job series: “When We Misunderstand.” This message zooms in on the moment God finally speaks out of the whirlwind in Job 38:1–7 —not to explain Himself, but to reveal Himself . Here’s the truth: When life hurts, our beliefs about God get exposed. And bad beliefs don’t just distort our view of God—they derail our whole life. Job shows us what happens when even faithful peopl...

When God Restores | Job 42:10–17 We love the idea of restoration—until God starts changing us.

This message dives into the story of Job — a man who lost it all but never lost his faith. Because it’s not if life falls apart… it’s when. And when it does, the question isn’t why did this happen? — it’s will you still stand? In this message, Pastor Ni...

R.I.P. to Resentment | Common Ground Sermon Resentment doesn’t protect you—it poisons you. And if you don’t drop it, it’ll drop you. In this message, Pastor Nick Henderson walks through James 4, Hebrews 12, and Colossians 3 to expose how bitterness holds us back, hurts the people we love, and keeps us from freedom.

We’re Losing a Nation to Distraction | Why Christians Can’t Afford to Scroll Mindlessly We think distraction just costs us time—but it’s costing us way more. While believers binge and bicker, the enemy builds.

“Take Up Your Sword” – Pastor Casey Withers | Common Ground We’re not losing the battle because it’s too hard—we’re losing because we’re unarmed.

YouTube Description: When We Sin | Genesis Part 7 We all mess up. The real question isn’t IF you’ll fall—it’s what you do NEXT. In Genesis 3, we see the very first response to sin—and it wasn’t confession, it was cover-up. Adam and Eve hid, blamed, and patched instead of owning it. Thousands of years later, we’re still doing the same thing. But here’s the truth: You don’t get stuck because you fel...
