Difference Maker, A Church Built for the Last Days 06.07.2026 41:13
What does it look like to follow Jesus in the last days? In this message from 1 Thessalonians, you'll discover that God hasn't called His Church to live in fear, but to live with purpose. As the world grows darker and the pressure to compromise increases, followers of Jesus are called to speak boldly, live purely, love deeply, and endure faithfully. VERSES // 1 Thessalonians 2v1-8; 3v7-8, 11-13; G...
Will The Seven Bowls Be That Bad? 29.06.2026 46:53
This message explores why God's judgment is necessary, what true repentance really means, and how Jesus provides a way to escape the wrath we deserve. The question isn't simply how bad things can get. The question is whether we'll continue resisting God or surrender to the finished work of Christ while His invitation to mercy is still open. VERSES // Revelation 15 - 16
The Infinite Love & Wrath of God 22.06.2026 47:28
Can God's love and His wrath both be true at the same time? Wrestling with one of the most challenging passages in the Bible, this message explores God's justice, the fall of Babylon, the hope of the gospel, and the call to follow Jesus with wholehearted devotion. The invitation is still open. Choose the way of the Lamb and discover the life, freedom, and hope that only He can give. VERSES // Reve...
The Endgame of the Antichrist 15.06.2026 47:04
Who is the Antichrist, and what is his ultimate goal? Revelation 13 gives a sobering look at the beast, the false prophet, and the mark of the beast. But this chapter is about far more than conspiracy theories, microchips, or the number 666. At its core, it reveals a battle for your worship, your loyalty, and your allegiance. VERSES // Revelation 13
Wake Up To The Fight 08.06.2026 51:34
What if the greatest threat to your faith isn't what is happening around you, but what is happening inside you? This message is a wake-up call to recognize the fight, reject the lies, stand firm in God's truth, and live boldly as a witness for Christ. The battle is real, but so is the power of the One who has overcome. VERSES // Revelation 12
The Trumpets Are Sounding 01.06.2026 51:01
This message is both a warning and an invitation. God is patient, merciful, and trustworthy, but the call to repent and turn to Jesus is urgent. In the middle of chaos and suffering, believers are called to stay awake, remain faithful, and boldly share the hope of Christ with the world around them. VERSES // Revelation 8-11
Stand When Your World Falls 26.05.2026 48:50
What do you do when everything around you feels unstable, chaotic, and broken? In Revelation 6–7, the Four Horsemen reveal the realities of deception, conflict, famine, and death already at work in the world, but the story doesn’t end there. In the middle of judgment and suffering, God keeps His people, reminds them that the Lamb is still on the throne, and proves that evil will not have the final...
Is Anyone Worthy? 18.05.2026 34:24
Catch a glimpse into why why heaven erupts in worship, what it means that Jesus alone is worthy, and how the grace of God gives purpose, hope, and meaning to our lives today. The throne is occupied. The Lamb has won. And that changes everything. VERSES // Revelation 5v1-14
Anchored In The Throne Room 11.05.2026 45:36
Most of us spend our lives trying to control things we were never meant to control. In studying Revelation 4, you’ll discover one of the Bible’s most powerful images: the throne room of heaven. John discovers that the center of the universe isn’t chaos, politics, fear, or even ourselves—it’s God. This message wrestles with anxiety, control, purpose, worship, and why so many people feel spiritually...
The Empty Heart Of The Busy Church 04.05.2026 45:36
What if busy faith leaves you missing what matters most? In this message from Revelation 3, you’ll confront a hard truth: it’s possible to look spiritually alive on the outside, busy, growing, serving; while something deeper is quietly fading. Jesus challenges the church that had a strong reputation but an empty heart, calling them to wake up before it’s too late. VERSES // Revelation 3v1-22
The Offer On The Table 27.04.2026 44:13
Jesus writes to two churches that look faithful on the outside but are quietly drifting on the inside. One is holding fast in the obvious moments but compromising in the daily ones. The other is tolerating what it knows it shouldn't. Both are trading something for comfort, belonging, and survival — and Jesus wants them to understand the gravity of that trade. This week, we look at the letters to...
When Good Churches Drift 20.04.2026 47:27
What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t failure, but slow, subtle compromise? This message is a wake-up call: you can be busy, disciplined, and doctrinally right… and still drift away from Jesus. If you’ve ever felt spiritually distant, worn down, or tempted to compromise, this message will challenge you to return to what matters most: a real, passionate relationship with Jesus and a faith...
Pulling Back The Curtain 14.04.2026 41:02
What if the book of Revelation isn’t meant to confuse or scare you, but to strengthen you? In part one of a teaching series through The Book of Revelation, you’ll discover that it is a book about not just prophecy about the future, it’s a powerful reminder for right now. When life feels uncertain, painful, or out of control, you don’t need a smaller, more comfortable version of Jesus, we all need...
Easter With Church Story: The Dividing Line 06.04.2026 48:34
There is one question you can’t avoid: What will you do with Jesus? In this message from Luke 23, you hear about five people who encountered Jesus in His final moments before the crucifixion. Each one responded differently, and their responses reveal something about us. Some were distracted. Some were curious but unwilling to change. Some were prideful. One was guilty but set free. And one chose...
Winning The Battle Against Digital Distraction 30.03.2026 46:33
Smartphones promise connection—but often deliver isolation. In this message, Wes will confront how technology may be quietly pulling you away from real relationships and a relationship with God. Through a practical strategy—FIGHT— you’ll discover how to set boundaries, eliminate distractions, invite accountability, and choose presence over screens. If you’ve ever felt more connected online but mor...
The Smartphone Trap 23.03.2026 36:40
80% of people are addicted to their phones. So the real question is… are you one of them? In this message, you’ll confront one of the most overlooked addictions in our culture—our phones. From constant notifications to endless scrolling, technology is shaping our priorities, our relationships, and even our walk with God. The question is simple: Are you using your phone… or is your phone using you?...
Before The Storm 18.03.2026 30:10
What if the reason storms overwhelm us isn’t because God isn’t there, but because we only turn to Him when life starts falling apart? Life has a way of bringing unexpected storms like stress, anxiety, conflict, and moments when everything feels out of control. The truth is, a lot of us only reach for God when things go wrong. But faith isn’t something we build in the middle of the storm. It is som...
A Seat At The Table 09.03.2026 39:43
In 2 Samuel 9, David invites Mephibosheth, a forgotten and broken man, to sit at the kings table. Through the stories of Saul, Jonathan, David, and Mephibosheth, we see four different postures of the heart toward grace. The gospel reminds us of this truth: grace gave you a seat, and love grabs a seat for another. VERSES // Exodus 25v23-30, 2 Samuel 9v1-12, 1 Samuel 18v3-4, 7
Written Into A Greater Story 02.03.2026 42:20
If you’re new to church, money talk can feel… gross. We get it. This message starts with a simple question: Why are we giving at all? Psalm 50 shows us God isn’t asking because He’s in need—He’s after our hearts, our worship, and our participation in something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re ready to jump in or just checking things out, we’re glad you’re here. VERSES // Psalm 50v8-23, Romans...
The Generous Heart 23.02.2026 47:44
Does God really bless generosity? Yes. But not the way you think. In this teaching, we confront the myths of prosperity preaching while embracing the truth of Scripture: God multiplies what we sow — financially, spiritually, eternally. The question isn’t “Should I give?” The question is “Do I trust Him?” VERSES // 2 Corinthians 9v6-15, Matthew 6v21
When Grace Calls Your Name 16.02.2026 48:47
In Luke 19, you see a man who chased money, status, and control — and still came up empty. What he thought would be a glimpse turned into a life-altering encounter. If you’ve ever felt spiritually restless… If you’ve built success but still feel empty… If you’re unsure whether Jesus would really want anything to do with you… This story is for you. VERSES // Luke 19v1-10
The Time Is Now 09.02.2026 46:28
Have you ever felt bored in church… or like your faith has gone from “all in” to “just showing up”? In part one of The Next Chapter, you’ll hear about a generational, faith-filled next step for Church Story. One marked by sacrifice, God’s glory, prayer, and a future bigger than today. Together, we’re asking God to do what only He can do—because He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all we as...
Confident Dating In A Complicated World 20.01.2026 41:53

In Part 3 of Relationship Refresh, you’ll discover timeless wisdom for dating in a culture that has made it incredibly complicated. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or supporting others who are, this message offers clarity, hope, and a better foundation for relationships that last. VERSES // Genesis 24v...
Red Flags You Can't Afford To Miss 12.01.2026 41:51

In this part two of Relationship Refresh, you learn how to expose two dangerous dynamics that quietly destroy relationships: passivity and control.
