Waiting is uncomfortable. It feels inefficient. It confronts our need for control. And yet… waiting is God’s preferred method of spiritual formation. In Part 2 of Waiting on the Lord , we revisit five things to REMEMBER in seasons of delay and four things to DO while you WAIT — Write, Act, Imitate, Trust. But this message goes deeper. We explore the hard truth that: Delay is not denial. Waiting is...

In 1 Samuel 17:38–51, we revisit the familiar story of David and Goliath—but through the lens of the anointing. When David stepped onto the battlefield, he didn’t just carry a sling—he carried oil that had already been poured over his life. As Pastor Heath Adamson says, “The anointing is when heaven's resource and human authenticity collide.” In this message, we see that: • Anointed men are r...

This Easter message, Victorious, is a powerful reminder that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a symbol of hope, but a real and world-changing victory. In this sermon, we walk through John 19–20 and explore how the empty tomb proves that Jesus is victorious over death, sin, fear, shame, darkness, and every power of hell. From Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus stepping out of secrecy, to...

Why does the cross of Jesus still matter so deeply today? In this sermon, The Old Rugged Cross, we walk through the crucifixion of Christ chronologically and uncover powerful truths about forgiveness, suffering, paradise, victory, and the love of God. From Simon carrying the cross, to the two criminals, to Jesus crying “It is finished,” this message is a reminder that the cross is more than a symb...

Three to five years after planting the church in Corinth, Paul writes a hard but loving correction: You should be ready for more by now. In this message from 1 Corinthians 3, we confront spiritual immaturity, flesh-driven living, pride, and misplaced loyalty—and we’re challenged to move from milk to meat. God is calling His church to grow up, lay down jealousy and division, and build lives on the...

In this message from the PASSION series, we walk through the trial of Jesus and see how betrayal, false accusations, religious hypocrisy, political compromise, and mob pressure all surrounded Christ, yet He remained fully surrendered to the Father’s mission. We talk about how Jesus stayed in control even in suffering, why truth still matters, how trials reveal what we are truly passionate about, a...

What are the dead things in your life? In this powerful message from Luke 22, Pastor Curtis shares how Jesus is passionate about bringing dead things to life. From the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross, this sermon unpacks how Jesus meets us in suffering, calls us to obedience, and leads us beyond survival into fruitfulness. If you’ve been walking through pain, loss, spiritual dryness, broken rela...

As children of God, we have rights that cannot be revoked from us-one of those rights is healing. We examine an unconventional story in the gospel in which Jesus progressively heals a blind man by touching him twice, a narrative full of “immediately". Despite the process, healing is MINE-let’s put our name on it!

What really happened at the Last Supper? In this message from the new PASSION series, we explore the powerful moments leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus:  the betrayal of Judas, the breaking of the bread, and the washing of the disciples’ feet. Through John 13 and Mark 14, this sermon reveals how Jesus responded to betrayal, how communion points to His sacrifice, and how the humble act of foot...

What does God actually want you to do with your money? In this final message of the INVESTED series, we talk about something deeper than budgeting or debt, we talk about vision, planning, and dreaming with God in your finances. In a world where 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and financial stress impacts marriages and families, Scripture gives us a different path. From Malachi 3 to Matt...

In this message from 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:16 , we explore the Wisdom of God and the Maturity of the Saints . In a culture obsessed with status, intellect, and influence, Paul boldly declares that the message of the cross is still “foolish” to the world—but to those being saved, it is the power and wisdom of God. What does it mean to boast only in Christ? How do we grow from spiritual infancy into...

Why does heaven throw a party over one sinner? In this powerful message from Luke 15, we explore the three parables of Jesus: The Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son, and uncover the scandalous, relentless mercy of God. This sermon challenges the Pharisee in all of us and reminds us: • Mercy triumphs over judgment • The Shepherd searches until He finds • The Father runs before shame ca...

Corinth was a wealthy, competitive city—home to the Isthmian Games —and that same competitive spirit had crept into the church. In 1 Corinthians , Paul the Apostle confronts one of their biggest issues: division. “I follow Paul.” “I follow Apollos.” “I follow Peter.” Paul responds with a powerful question: Has Christ been divided? In this message, we unpack: Why we advance at the speed of our unit...

In this message, we explore the life and faith of C. S. Lewis , author of Mere Christianity and The Chronicles of Narnia , and close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien (author of The Lord of the Rings ). From trench warfare to wartime radio broadcasts, Lewis’s journey from atheism to faith shaped a powerful defense of Christianity. We dive into the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, with a focus on “Charit...

Are you serving God… or serving money? In this powerful message from the INVESTED series, we unpack what Jesus meant when He said, “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” Is money evil? What does the Bible really say about wealth, tithing, generosity, and stewardship? This sermon dives deep into: • The true meaning of “mammon” • How money can enslave both the rich and the poor • What Jesus taught...

You’ll discover: ✨ Why waiting develops ch...

In this message, we begin our INVESTED series with a biblical, honest, and pastoral teaching on tithing.  Discover why Scripture speaks so clearly about money, what the tithe really is, and how God invites us to trust Him with our finances. From Malachi 3 and beyond, this sermon unpacks stewardship, heart posture, and the promise of the “windows of heaven” for those who honor God first.

What does it really mean to be Built Different?  In this message, Pastor Jeremy challenges us to embrace our calling as Kingdom Builders—people who change the world one life at a time.

In this message, “Upon This Rock,” we continue our January series BUILT DIFFERENT while leaning into biblical maturity and soul health .

Peter was flawed, impulsive, and imperfect… yet Jesus still called him by name and inv...

In this message from Exodus 28:31–35, we explore how worship is more than a moment—it’s a garment we wear.

This sermon challenges us to consider what we’re “wearing” as we come before the Lord and how our worship positions us for His presence.

In this powerful sermon, Build An Altar, we explore Genesis 35 and the life of Jacob to uncover why returning to God’s presence changes everything.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 1:1–9, we explore the city of Corinth, the challenges of an imperfect church, and Paul’s powerful reminder that it is God’s church in Corinth—not of Corinth .

Discover four foundational truths about Jesus’ lordship, God’s provision, His faithfulness, and our partnership with Him as...
