What are you really living for? Everyone is building treasure somewhere, but only one treasure lasts forever. In this episode, Francis Chan helps us refocus our hearts on the kingdom of heaven. He shares powerful stories of sacrifice, surprising joy, and practical ways to invest in what truly matters. It's not about what must be given up—it’s about discovering what’s infinitely better.

What does it really look like to die to yourself? It’s a phrase often heard in church but rarely lived out in radical, visible ways.

Through Scripture and the powerful story of a village in China that chose selfless love over personal comfort, Fra...

Jesus said we would do greater works than He did… but what does that actually mean? Is that really possible? Have we settled for something less than what Jesus intended? In this message, Francis Chan wrestles with Jesus’ bold promise—unpacking what it means to believe for more, to pray with expectation, and to step into the supernatural life God designed for His church.

So often, we’re told that following Jesus will make life easier… but what if that’s not what Jesus said at all? In this message, Francis Chan walks us through what the Bible clearly teaches about suffering. Jesus taught us to expect it, to embrace it, and to arm ourselves with the mindset that following Him will not be easy. He’ll show us that overcoming sin requires suffering, that living for the...

In a world obsessed with constant connection, why do we feel so alone? In today’s episode, Francis paints a picture of the kind of relationships we were created for: deep, embodied, Spirit-filled connection with one another and with God.

What if we’ve been playing it safe for so long, we’ve forgotten what it means to really trust God? In this classic teaching, Francis Chan opens up about fear, faith, and the kind of boldness that defined the early church. From the valley of the shadow of death to the comfort of our Shepherd’s rod and staff, this isn’t a call to recklessness—it's a return to childlike faith.

You ever feel like you’re doing all the right things… but nothing seems to change? Like following Jesus is just harder than you thought it’d be? In this classic teaching, Francis takes us deep into the fight we all face—the struggle to stay faithful when no one’s watching. He takes us into Galatians 6, where we’re reminded: Don’t give up. Because God sees it all… and the harvest is coming.

What if I told you… God doesn’t hear all prayers? You’ve probably been told your whole life that He does — no matter what, no matter how. But Scripture says otherwise. Today, Francis Chan flips the script on casual prayer and exposes the one thing that made even Jesus' prayers powerful: the fear and reverence of God.

It’s human nature to get drawn into the excitement of large church gatherings with lots of people and energy. But what happens when the music stops and the room is silent?

It’s a call to break free from the distrac...

If you've...

We spend so much of our lives chasing identity, trying to prove we belong, trying to be seen, trying to matter. But the answer to who we are isn't something we earn. It's someone we belong to. Today, Francis Chan shows us that our truest identity is found in being children of God: created, chosen, adopted, and loved by the Father. And this identity redefines how we pray, how we worship, and how we...

When you gather on Sunday, do you go in thinking about someone else, ready to love, serve, and care? Or was your mind still on yourself? This week, Francis Chan pushes us to rethink love—not as a feeling, but as action. Real love is messy. It’s sacrificial. It’s the kind that makes you weep for the broken and move toward those in need. Because love isn’t just something we receive—it’s something we...

When you go to church, are you simply attending, or are you seeking to encounter the living God? To experience the Creator of the universe in a way that transforms your life? In this message, Francis Chan challenges the way we approach worship, truth, and the Holy Spirit. Are we just hearing the Word, or are we responding to it? Are we pursuing knowledge, or a deeper intimacy with God? True worshi...

This week, Francis Chan confronts the temptation to fit God into our human understanding. There are things about Him we simply cannot grasp. And yet, what He has revealed should move us—not just to knowledge, but to reverence, worship, and obedience. Be...

The One who spoke the stars into existence and holds all things together. And yet, how often do we reduce Him to something we can explain or control? In this week’s episode, Francis Chan challenges the way we think about the Holy Spirit—not as a force to be harnesse...

What if modern Christianity has complicated what was meant to be simple—so much so that we spend more time debating salvation than actually obeying God? In today’s message, Francis Chan cuts through the noise to get back to the raw, biblical truth. He challenges us to stop overanalyzing and start obeying—to truly repent, be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit as the early believers did. Because...

What if the modern church is missing something so essential that without it, our faith becomes just another human effort? What if the power we read about in Scripture—the kind that heals, transforms, and emboldens—was meant to be normal for every believer? In this sermon, Francis Chan confronts a pressing and uncomfortable question: If the Holy Spirit truly lives inside of us, why do so many Chris...

What if Jesus leaving this earth wasn’t a loss… but the greatest gift He could give us? That having the Holy Spirit inside you is better than having Jesus physically standing next to you? Do we actually believe that? Do we live like that’s true? In this teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to examine what we believe about prayer, longing for heaven, and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever wrestled with fear—fear of judgment, fear of not being enough, or fear of where you stand with God?

Why do so many believers live in doubt, questioning their salvation? And how can we break free from the lies that hold us cap...

As believers, we often find ourselves in a delicate balance between two perspectives. On one hand, we’re called to love the lost without compromising the truth. On the other, we must stand firm in the truth while avoiding self-righteousness. So, how do we navigate this tension? In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan dives into Paul’s message in 2 Timothy 4, painting a picture of a church where trut...

When you think about the end times, what comes to mind? Mysterious prophecies? World leaders? What if the Bible’s real focus isn’t on those details at all, but on something far more personal—and urgent? In today’s teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to shift our perspective on the end times. Instead of chasing signs and dates, ask yourself, “Are you living in a way that’s ready for Christ’s retur...
