Jesus didn't just predict the resurrection. He said, "I am the resurrection and the life." That changes everything. In this Easter message, Pastor Jeremy walks through John 11 and shows us that resurrection isn't just something that happened to Jesus or something waiting for us at the end of time. It's what happens wherever the risen Jesus is present, right now, in your li...

Most Christians have a view of God that is too small. And a small view of God produces small worship, small faith, and a small life. So what happens when you put the Incarnation under a microscope? Jesus, so much man he wept at a friend's grave. So much, God, he called him back from the dead four days later. So much man, he fell asleep in a boat. So much God, he silenced the storm with his vo...

Jesus said, "I am the gate," but what does that actually mean for your life right now? In this message, Pastor Jeremy walks through one of the most practical truths in Scripture: Jesus is not just a one-time decision; He is the Door you walk through every single day for pardon, protection, presence, and provision. Every door you open matters. And Jesus is inviting you through the right o...

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world,”   but what does that actually mean for your life right now? In this message, Pastor Jeremy walks through one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: a woman caught in sin, religious leaders ready to condemn, and Jesus stepping in as the light that leads, illuminates, liberates, and invites. His light doesn't humiliate. It frees. Whether you&a...

What are you really feeding your soul with? In this message, Pastor Jeremy explores Jesus’ powerful statement, “I am the Bread of Life.” We spend our lives chasing things that promise satisfaction but leave us empty. Jesus invites us to something deeper. Not just what He gives, but who He is. Key Scriptures: John 6:25–35 | Genesis 3:17–19 | Revelation 2:17 Response Questions What “bread” are you w...

What if spiritual maturity is not about your gifting, knowledge, or church involvement… but about how well you love? In the final week of our Emotionally Healthy Spirituality series, Pastor Noah unpacks what the Bible calls agapē love . Not a Hallmark kind of love. Not a feelings based love. But a selfless, sacrificial, God kind of love that transforms marriages, friendships, families, and workpla...

Relentless hurry is quietly stealing our spiritual depth and emotional health. Jesus never invited us into burnout. He invited us into a new rhythm. Our worth is not in our works or our wounds. It’s in our walk with Jesus. If our pace is shaped by culture, we will live tired, distracted, and shallow. But if our pace is shaped by Christ, we will live grounded, rested, and present. Jesus says, “Come...

Are you defined by your works… or your wounds? In this message, Pastor Jeremy teaches how emotional health anchors our worth in Jesus, not in performance or pain. What you don’t name can’t change. But when you invite Jesus into your story, He redeems it. Your past doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does. Key Scriptures: Psalm 139:1–6, 23–24 | Genesis 50:20 | Daniel 3:16–27

What kind of church is God asking us to build in Birmingham? Pastor Jeremy walks through Luke 14 and the Parable of the Great Banquet to challenge how we think about discipleship, community, and who we design church life for. Proximity to church is not the same as participation in the Kingdom. As a commuter, corporate, affluent, and fast growing city, Birmingham presents unique challenges. Many pe...

Dreams from God require more than passion. They require formation. In this message, Pastor Jeremy challenges the idea that spiritual activity equals spiritual maturity. Jesus confronts the Pharisees in Matthew 23, exposing a faith that looks holy on the outside but remains unhealthy on the inside. God is not rushing us into our future. He is forming us for it. This message calls us to stop perform...

Dreams don’t come alive by accident. They move when faith meets action. In the final message of our Dream Again series, Pastor Noah teaches how God brings dreams to life when we stop playing it safe and start trusting Him with what we already have. Through the story of the widow in 2 Kings 4, we see that God often begins His greatest miracles with what feels small, ordinary, or not enough. This me...

What do you do when the dream you prayed for feels buried and beyond hope? The story of Lazarus shows how God restores dreams not instantly, but intentionally. Delay is not denial. What looks like death may be divine preparation for resurrection. Jesus reveals that resurrection follows a rhythm: surrender, tears, faith, and community. If you have stopped hoping because believing has become painful...

God gives dreams, but revelation reveals their purpose. Just because you receive a dream does not mean you understand it. Like Nebuchadnezzar, many people sense that God has placed something significant in their heart but do not yet know why. In Daniel 2, we see how God reveals purpose through prayer, community, worship, and obedience so that He can be made known through our lives. This message ch...

God’s dreams are real, but they unfold in stages. In this powerful Christmas Worship Experience message at Christian Life Church, Pastor Jeremy reminds us that delay is not denial, it’s development. Through the life of Joseph and the promise of Psalm 126, we see that God often gives the dream early, then takes time to develop the dreamer. If you’ve felt stuck in the waiting, discouraged by opposit...

What happens when God restores what you thought was lost? Pastor Jeremy unpacks Psalm 126 and reminds us that restoration awakens dreams we thought were buried. Israel spent 70 years in exile believing their best days were behind them, yet God moved suddenly and unexpectedly to restore them. What felt impossible became reality. If disappointment has delayed your hope, if discouragement has caused...

As we close out 2025, our CLC Worship team has prepared a special worship set designed for you to experience God’s presence right from home. This digital service also includes a meaningful conversation with Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Noah as they reflect on all that God has done this year and look ahead with faith and expectation as we move into 2026.

Christmas is not just about presents. It’s about Presence. Pastor Jeremy reminds us that the sound of Christmas is the sound of God coming close. Not waiting for perfect conditions. Not standing at a distance. But stepping into the mess, the noise, the ordinary moments of life and declaring, “I am with you.” Key Scriptures: Luke 2:1–7 | Romans 5:8 | John 1:14 | Matthew 1:23 | John 6:35 | John 1:12...

What does real wonder sound like? At our Christmas Worship Experience, Pastor Jeremy invites us to slow down and hear The Sound of Wonder . From the shepherds on a quiet hillside to a Savior lying in a manger, this message reminds us that wonder leads to worship, and worship leads to witness. This Christmas, do not rush past the miracle. God stepped into our ordinary world so our hearts could awak...

In Week One of our new series, we look at The Sound Before the Miracle, the sound of expectation. God speaks a word in dark seasons not just to change our situation, but to change us. Before the miracle shows up, God plants expectation, faith, and hope through His Word. If you feel like you’re walking through uncertainty, fear, or waiting, this message will help you tune your ear to the sound God...

When Jesus talks about leaving the ninety-nine to find the one, He isn’t just talking about other people. Sometimes the “one” is you. This message challenges us to stop holding onto old labels, fears, or seasons and trust the Good Shepherd who rescues, restores, and leads us forward. God keeps His promises. Jesus is all we need. And He’s for the one every single time. Key Scriptures: Matthew 18:12...

Legalism has a way of sneaking into our faith, turning what started as freedom into a checklist. In this message, Pastor Jeremy unpacks Paul’s letter to the Galatians to remind us that we’re saved by faith alone, not by works. The Gospel doesn’t need our additives; it needs our surrender. When we stop trying to perform for God and start walking in step with His Spirit, we find freedom, unity, and...

Pastor Jeremy unpacks what it truly means to be the Body of Christ. A unified, Spirit-filled people who harmonize rather than compete. From Paul’s letter to the Corinthians to Jesus’ call to agreement, we see how unity releases heaven’s power and how our words can activate God’s kingdom on earth. The Church isn’t a club or an event; it’s a colony of heaven, a bride in love, a temple of His Spirit,...

What if the Church stopped pursuing comfort and began living on mission? In this episode, guest speaker Pastor Quinton from Youth of the Nations joins us to explore what it means to let Jesus build His Church, His way. Rooted in Matthew 16 and Psalm 127, this conversation examines how God builds differently: He completes His work before He begins, works while we rest, and calls us to assemble what...

What does it really mean to be the Church? In this week’s message, Pastor Jeremy unpacks how Jesus calls His people to live as a colony of heaven on earth, a witnessing, worshiping, and unified body that reflects His Kingdom wherever we go. The Church isn’t just a building or a Sunday gathering; it’s a living, breathing temple of the Holy Spirit, a bride preparing for the return of Christ, and a c...

In this message, we explain how to study Scripture in a way that leads to transformation, not just gaining facts. From uncovering Hebrew meanings to understanding context, culture, and personal application, this message will help you dig deep until revelation flows.  Discover how Jesus’ bruises bring inner healing (Isaiah 53:5), why context shapes truth (Philippians 4:13), and how God’s grace reac...
