Hard conversations are unavoidable. But HOW we have them matters. In Week 3 of WATCH YOUR MOUTH, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at what Scripture teaches us about saying the hard things the right way. Some of us avoid difficult conversations. Others say exactly what we’re thinking without considering how our words will land. But Jesus shows us a better way — one that holds GRACE and TRUTH together....

⚠️ AUDIO NOTE: We apologize for the audio issues during this message. We were running new livestream software, and the issue has since been resolved.

In Week 2 of WATCH YOUR MOUTH, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at James 1:19–20 and what Scripture teaches us about being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow t...

Your words have more power than you think. They can build someone up or tear them down. Bring healing or cause hurt. Strengthen a relationship or slowly destroy it. But Jesus teaches us that the real issue isn’t just the words coming out of our mouths—it’s the HEART those words are coming from. In Week 1 of WATCH YOUR MOUTH, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at Luke 6:45 and what Jesus teaches us about...

God never designed you to grow alone. Some of the greatest growth in your life won’t happen because you heard one more sermon. It will happen because someone knew you well enough to encourage you, challenge you, pray for you, tell you the truth, and walk with you through the difficult seasons of life. In the final week of PEOPLE PROBLEMS, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at why WHO YOU DO LIFE WITH MA...

What do you do when someone hurts you—and forgiveness feels impossible? In Week 4 of People Problems, Pastor Lee Boyd teaches from Matthew 18 about the power and necessity of forgiveness. Jesus calls us to forgive not just once, but again and again—not because the hurt doesn’t matter, but because unforgiveness keeps us trapped in the pain. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was okay. It means...

Healthy relationships require healthy boundaries. Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away—sometimes they’re how we keep people close. In Week 3 of People Problems, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at why healthy relationships need boundaries, how to communicate them clearly, and why sometimes saying “no” is how we protect a more important “yes.” We protect the things that are important to us. 📖 “...

Healthy relationships aren’t built on simply telling people what they want to hear. Sometimes, loving someone means telling them what they need to hear. In Week 2 of People Problems, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at what Proverbs teaches us about honest friendships, godly correction, and why the right people in our lives are willing to tell us the truth—even when it hurts. 📖 “Wounds from a friend...

The people closest to you influence the person you're becoming. In Week 1 of People Problems, Pastor Jacob Dickerson unpacks Proverbs 12:26 and explores how the relationships we choose shape the direction of our lives.

What are you building your life on? In the final week of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Jacob Dickerson closes with Jesus' unforgettable parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24-27. Storms are inevitable. Every life will face difficulty, disappointment, and hardship. The question isn't if the storm will come—it's whether your foundation will hold when it does. Jesus make...

Why is it so easy to see the faults in others but so difficult to recognize our own? In Week 7 of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Jacob Dickerson unpacks Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 7:1-6, where He calls us to examine our own hearts before pointing out the failures of someone else. In a world quick to criticize, condemn, and cancel, Jesus invites us to something different: humili...

What are you chasing? In Week 6 of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Jacob Dickerson explores Jesus' words in Matthew 6:19-34, where He calls us to stop living for temporary things and start pursuing what matters most. Our priorities shape our lives. What we treasure captures our hearts. What we seek ultimately determines who we become. Jesus invites us to trade worry for trust, anxiety fo...

What does genuine faith really look like? In Week 5 of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Lee Boyd challenges us to examine the motives behind our relationship with God through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6. It's possible to do all the right things for all the wrong reasons. Whether it's giving, praying, or serving, Jesus reminds us that God isn't impressed by outward performance—He's after...

How do you respond when someone hurts you? In Week 4 of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Jacob Dickerson unpacks one of Jesus' most challenging commands in Matthew 5:38-48: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Our natural response is to get even. But Jesus invites us to something greater. Forgiveness. Grace. Love that reflects the heart of God. The world says revenge br...

What if the biggest battles in your life aren't happening around you—but inside of you? In Week 3 of our You Have Heard It Said series, Pastor Jacob Dickerson explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 5:21-30. While the religious leaders focused on outward behavior, Jesus exposed the condition of the heart. Anger. Lust. Bitterness. Pride. These aren't just actions to avoid—they're symptoms of s...

In a culture that measures influence by followers, platforms, and popularity, Jesus offers a radically different perspective: your influence isn't determined by your platform—it's determined by your presence. Whether you're at home, at work, at school, or in your community, God has placed you where you are for a purpose. This message will challenge you to live a life that points others to Christ t...

For the last eight weeks, we've discovered what God says about our identity through the book of Ephesians. We've learned: ✅ I Am Blessed ✅ I Am In Christ ✅ I Am Forgiven ✅ I Am Adopted ✅ I Am Empowered ✅ I Am Gifted But this week, we finish with one of the most life-changing truths of all: I AM NEW. Following Jesus isn't just about believing differently—it's about living differently. Through...

What if the battle you’re fighting has already been won? 💥 In Week 6 of our Who Do You Think You Are? series, we unpack what it means to be I AM VICTORIOUS in Christ—not fighting for victory, but from victory.

In Week 5 of Who Do You Think You Are?, we unpack the life-changing truth that because of Jesus, you’re not an outsider trying to earn God’s love—you’ve been adopted into His family. Your past doesn’t define you. Your Heavenly Father does.

What if the thing you keep carrying… is the very thing God already canceled? In Week 4 of our series Who Do You Think You Are?, we dive into one of the most powerful identity statements in the book of Ephesians: “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” — Ephesians 1:7 So many people live weighed down by guilt, shame, an...

Who you think you are shapes how you live. It affects your decisions, your confidence, your relationships, and your calling. But too many people are living with a distorted identity—letting their past define them, culture label them, and failure, fear, insecurity, and comparison shape how they see themselves. In Week 3 of “Who Do You Think You Are?”, Pastor Jacob Dickerson walks through Ephesians...

Who you think you are shapes how you live. It affects your decisions, your relationships, your confidence, and your calling. But the reality is… a lot of us are living with a distorted identity. We let our past define us. We let culture label us. We let failure, fear, insecurity, and comparison shape how we see ourselves. And when you don’t know who you are… you won’t live how you’re called. In We...

Everyone loves a comeback story. But the greatest comeback in history… is the resurrection of Jesus. In Easter At The MAC 2026, Pastor Jacob Dickerson shares how the empty tomb changes everything—and how your comeback starts by coming back to God. If the tomb is empty… anything is possible.

Everyone loves a good comeback story. But sometimes the comeback we need most… is from disappointment. When life doesn’t go how we planned. When prayers feel unanswered. When we’re left wondering where God is. In Week 4 of The Comeback, Bryon Shaw shares how God meets us in our disappointment—and how your story isn’t over. Disappointment doesn’t get the final word. God does.
