This week at Guy’s Night, we began John Mark Comer’s Scripture Practice with Part 1: Read. Together, we explored what it means to slow down and approach God’s Word with intention, not just for information but for transformation. Scripture isn’t simply something we study—it’s a way we encounter God, learn His voice, and allow Him to shape our lives. Our challenge this week was simple: don’t just re...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 4: WHO’S YOUR ONE MORE? The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. In the final night of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright closes the week with a sobering and urgent call from Matthew 9:35–38—Jesus’ compassion for the crowds and His command to pray for workers to go into the harvest. This message is not just a conclusion to camp—it’s a commissioning. Throughout the week...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 3: WHAT IS PRAYER? What is prayer? Why do Christians pray? How do we pray? And what do we do with the parts of prayer that many Christians either misunderstand, avoid, or never talk about? In Night 3 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright takes students on a deep dive into one of the most important practices of the Christian life: prayer. Far more than a religious ritual, prayer i...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 2: DAILY BREAD In Night 2 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright challenges students to rethink what it means to follow Jesus in a culture built on consumption. We live in a world that constantly asks: What can I get? What can I gain? What’s in it for me? Even our faith can become consumer-driven, where we chase experiences, emotions, and spiritual highs while neglecting the ordin...

🎙️ SPECIAL FCF YOUTH CAMP EPISODE FCF CAMP – Night 1: Standin’ On Business What do you do when the storm won’t stop? In Night 1 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright opens Acts 27 and explores one of the most powerful stories of faith, leadership, and perseverance in Scripture. While 276 people aboard a ship lost hope, one prisoner stood firm because he remembered what God had said. This message chall...

Last night at Guy’s Night, Linny shared a powerful message titled “Weathering the Storm,” reminding us that faith is not proven when life is easy, but when we choose to trust God in the middle of the fire. Using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 3, we focused on one of the most remarkable statements of faith in all of Scripture: “But even if He does not…” (Daniel 3:18) These...

This week at Guy’s Night, Schaefer Ball led a powerful and challenging Bible study titled “Fruit Check.” Using the account of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11, the discussion focused on a question every believer should ask: Is my life actually producing fruit? At first glance, Jesus’ interaction with the fig tree can seem surprising. Why would Jesus curse a tree? But as we dug deeper into the...

This week, Guy’s Night looked a little different. Instead of walking through a chapter of Scripture, we set aside the evening for something just as important: worship, prayer, and simply spending time in the presence of God together. In a world that constantly demands our attention and fills our schedules, this night was an opportunity to slow down, lift our eyes to Christ, and remember what truly...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 4: Living the Gospel Daily This week at Guy’s Night, we finished our journey through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 4, closing out the letter with a powerful reminder that following Jesus is meant to shape every part of everyday life. As Paul wraps up Colossians, the focus turns toward prayer, relationships, speech, and living faithfully in a world that desperat...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 3: Putting Off the Old, Putting On Christ This week at Guy’s Night, we walked through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 3, where Paul shifts from theology to transformation — showing us what life actually looks like when Jesus is truly Lord. The night centered around the challenge to “set your minds on things above,” and we talked honestly about how difficult it ca...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 2: Rooted in Christ, Free From Empty Religion This week at Guy’s Night, we continued through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 2, and the conversation centered around one major truth: if Christ is enough, then we don’t need to look anywhere else for identity, freedom, or fullness. A huge part of the night focused on verses 4–7, where Paul warns believers not to be...

This week, Guy’s Night began a brand new journey through the book of Epistle to the Colossians, and from the very first chapter, the focus was clear: Jesus is not just important — He is supreme over everything. As we walked through Chapter 1, we explored one of the most powerful portraits of Christ in all of Scripture. Paul reminds the church that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the creat...

At this week’s Guys Night, we slowed things down and leaned into a night of worship, prayer, and brotherhood. Instead of a typical teaching, we created space to seek God together—lifting up our lives, our struggles, and each other in prayer. There’s something powerful about a room full of men choosing to be real before God and not just go through the motions. One of the most meaningful moments of...

At this week’s Guys Night, we were joined by Luke Mace, youth pastor from The Pulse Church in Winfield, who brought a powerful message titled “Doors & Doorways.” Luke walked us through the story of Cain and Abel, where God warns Cain that sin is crouching at the door and that he must learn to master it rather than be mastered by it. From there, we connected that moment in Genesis with Revelation 3...

At this month’s Guys Night, we were joined by author Justin Hart Crary for a powerful conversation about heaven, eternity, and the deeper questions many believers wrestle with but rarely talk about. During the night, Justin challenged the room with two thought-provoking questions: • Are we going to get bored in heaven? • If sin entered the “perfect” garden in the beginning, what would stop someone...

In this episode, we unpack the final message from John Mark Comer in the teaching series on fasting, “Fasting to Stand With the Poor.” Fasting isn’t just about personal spiritual growth—it’s also about reshaping our hearts toward justice, generosity, and compassion. Throughout Scripture, fasting is often connected with caring for those in need, reminding us that true devotion to God must also over...

In this episode of the Committed Podcast, Matthew, Wil, and Speedy sit down to unpack the message from the March Committed and continue the conversation around prayer. They talk about the heart behind the sermon, some things that didn’t make it into the message, and answer questions that many people wrestle with when it comes to their prayer life. What does a real, consistent prayer life actually...

In this episode, we dive into the teaching “Fasting – To Amplify Our Prayer” from John Mark Comer. Fasting is one of the most ancient and powerful practices in the way of Jesus, yet it’s often misunderstood or rarely practiced in modern Christianity. In this teaching, John Mark Comer unpacks how fasting is not about earning something from God, but about creating space to seek Him with deeper hunge...

What do you do when you pray… and nothing seems to happen? Many of us have prayed for the same things over and over again — for healing, for freedom, for breakthrough, and especially for the people we love to come to know Jesus. But when the answers don’t come quickly, it can feel like heaven has gone silent. In this sermon, we walk through one of the most powerful moments in Scripture from First...

At this week’s Guys Night, we watched and discussed the Fasting practice from John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way, focusing on “Fasting – To Grow in Holiness.” Fasting is one of the most ancient and powerful spiritual disciplines in the Christian life, yet it’s often misunderstood or ignored today. In this conversation, we reflect on why followers of Jesus have fasted for centuries and how fastin...

At this week’s Guys Night, we dove into the practice of fasting through the lens of teachings from John Mark Comer and his work on spiritual disciplines. In a session titled “To Offer Ourselves to God,” the conversation centered on how fasting is not about religious performance, but about surrender. Together, we explored how fasting creates space in our lives to seek God more intentionally, quiet...

In our final night walking through the Book of Jonah, we arrived at the most uncomfortable chapter of all — Chapter 4. Nineveh repents. God relents. Revival breaks out. And Jonah is furious. This week’s discussion centered on a sobering truth: sometimes we love receiving mercy more than we love seeing others receive it. Jonah wasn’t confused about who God is — in fact, he quotes God’s character pe...

In this powerful message from the February 21st Committed Worship Gathering, Rev. Jonathan Boggess challenges us to consider a question most of us never think to ask: Who — or what — is discipling us every day? Preaching from Romans 12, Rev. Boggess explores how modern technology, social media, and the constant pull of our digital “feeds” are quietly shaping our hearts, minds, and spiritual lives....

In Night Three of our series, we walked through Book of Jonah Chapter 3, where the story shifts from running and rescue to obedience and repentance. After everything Jonah had done — running from God, resisting His call, and needing to be rescued from the depths — God speaks to him again. The same command. The same mission. The same grace. This chapter reminds us that our failures don’t disqualify...

In Night Two of our February series, we stepped into the depths with Jonah — literally and spiritually — as we walked through Jonah chapter 2. This chapter isn’t really about a fish. It’s about what happens when God refuses to give up on someone who is running. From the belly of the fish, Jonah finally cries out to the Lord, revealing a powerful truth: sometimes God rescues us not by removing our...
