Night one of our February Guy’s Night series takes us into Jonah chapter 1, where we confront a hard truth: knowing God doesn’t always mean obeying God. Jonah isn’t a story about a runaway prophet as much as it is a mirror held up to the human heart. As we walk through the storm, the ship, the sleeping prophet, and the mercy of God, we see how Jonah’s shortcomings expose our own — and how every fa...

Why do so many attempts at change fail—especially in our faith? In this message, New You, we confront the lie that trying harder produces lasting transformation. Scripture reveals that the gospel is not about behavior modification, but identity transformation. Through passages like 2 Corinthians 5, Galatians 4, and Romans 8, we discover what it truly means to be a new creation—not cleaned up, but...

At Guys Night, Parker Barnette delivered a thoughtful and challenging message titled “Defending the Apostles’ Creed.” He unpacked the creed as a declaration of allegiance to the Kingdom of God—much like a pledge—meant to continually realign our minds and spirits with what we truly trust in. Parker explored the meaning of Pentokrator, pointing to the fullness of the Trinity and the Almighty nature...

What questions are people really asking about Jesus? In this episode of the Committed Podcast, we dive into the most frequently Googled questions about Christ, faith, and the Bible—the same questions people are typing into search bars late at night, quietly wrestling with doubt, curiosity, and truth. Using real search data, historical evidence, and scholarship, we tackle questions like: Who is Jes...

At Guys Night, Elijah Crompton shared a powerful short sermon titled “Who Am I?”—a message centered on finding our true identity in Christ. He spoke about keeping the cross at the forefront of our lives and how sacrifice, discipline, and humility shape us into who God has called us to be. A real, honest message that reminds us we are reborn as children of God.

What verse has truly shaped you—not just your favorite, but the one that changed you in your hardest season? In this Guy’s Night message, Rev. Jonathan Boggess explores how God forms us not by what’s comfortable, but by what’s next. Walking through the lives of Moses, David, and Jesus, we see how seasons of obscurity, wilderness, and waiting are often the very places where calling is forged. From...

Start 2026 off right with Guy’s Night!

In this powerful Advent message, Matthew Wright unpacks the truth that peace is not something we search for — peace is something Heaven has already delivered. Through Scripture, practical insight, and the unforgettable Krispy Kreme illustration, this sermon exposes the lies we’ve accepted and the peace we’ve ignored. Jesus didn’t come so we could live stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. He came to...

Last night, Brody Cox led us into a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the true meaning of worship. Drawing from Romans 12:1, Brody reminded us that worship isn’t just the songs we sing on Sunday—it’s the daily, intentional offering of our entire lives to God. We talked about how real worship is surrender, not performance… obedience, not emotion… and devotion, not a moment in a service. Brody a...

Sit back & rest in the Lord’s presence with us.

In this powerful message, Rev. Michael Farmer teaches on what it truly means to find contentment, strength, and identity in Christ. Drawing from Philippians 4:10–13, he reminds us that our sufficiency is not found in circumstances but in the One who strengthens us. From Romans 5:3–5, he unpacks how God uses even our suffering to produce endurance, character, and unshakable hope. At the heart of th...

OUR FINAL SESSION To sustain a lifelong journey of following Jesus, we need to key in on one final critical truth: You are meant to follow Jesus in community. Learn how to cultivate a community of depth, vulnerability, and commitment to transformation.

Meeting God in Pain and Suffering The Practices can expose pain as our soul begins to process and discharge suffering.

We may desire to become more like Jesus, but feel stuck. The problem is that we don’t know how to become like Jesus. We need a training program — a reliable pathway to transformation. We find this in the Way of Jesus, where we are formed by: -The Practices -Community -Teaching -The Holy Spirit Formation happens over time and through suffering. And one of the best ways to begin to change is to repl...

Spiritual formation isn’t a Christian thing; it’s a human thing. We are formed by a complex web of forces, but especially by: -Habits Relationships -The stories we believe -Environment Time -Experience. Most of our formation is unintentional. Some of the most important questions to reflect on are: -Who am I becoming? -Am I being intentional about who I am becoming? -One of the best ways to do this...

Our September 2025 Committed Gathering at King’s River Worship Center. Pastor Brad Joseph felt that someone in the crowd needed to come to KNOW Jesus & not just KNOW ABOUT Jesus. The Spirit moved & created a rumbling in the spirit. A shifting of hearts.

Following Jesus is based on the first-century practice of rabbis and apprentices. Today, to follow Jesus means to apprentice under him. To apprentice under Jesus is to organize your life around three driving goals: - Be with Jesus - Become like Jesus - Do as he did Apprenticing under Jesus means practicing a way of life. One of the best ways to begin is through a daily prayer rhythm, where you cre...

We take a minute to slow down before we start our three month session of practicing the way by John Mark Comer.

We shared, we cried, and we changed, lives with one another! Take some time to slow down, and being prayer as you listen to this epi...

Exercise: Be generous to the poor. Our exercise for this week is to share your resources with someone in need. You can give to an organization doing good work serving the poor, either globally or locally. O...

This week is about rethinking ownership. What if nothing we have is really ours—but God’s? Through Scripture and discussion, we’ll explore what it looks like to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. It’s a powerful shift that can lead to peace, purpose, and a deeper dependence on Him.

Greed is sneaky. It masks itself as security, success, and even responsibility. This week we’ll unpack what Jesus had to say about greed and how it shapes our hearts and habits. Together, we’ll learn how to identify it, confront it, and walk in the freedom that comes from living open-handed.
