Falls Creek Youth Camp

In this message from Mark 8, Nick Person teaches us that as followers of Christ, it is crucial for us to be in alignment with our King. To be in alignment with Him we must see Him accurately, deny ourselves, take up the cross, and follow Him.   During this service there were 109 spiritual decisions, with 43 of them being professions of faith. 

In Mark 6:30-41 we see the supernatural provision of God in action as Jesus multiplies something seemingly small into an unfathomable amount. It’s not about the size of the offering, but rather the hands that it is in. Perhaps it’s time for us to open our hearts and place our lives in the hands that are much more capable than us.  During this service there were 120 spiritual decisions with 64 prof...

Living the gospel-centered lives that we are called to is not always easy, but we are called to follow Christ regardless. In this message from Mark 2, Nick Person encourages us to be inconvenienced for the gospel. This may look like inconvenient compassion, inconvenient faith, and inconvenient sacrifice. In what area of your life might God be calling you to be inconvenienced for the sake of the go...

In this message Nick Person urges us to recognize that action is required in order to live as Jesus lived and love as Jesus loved, which is what we are called to do. Teaching from Mark 1, Nick shows us that Jesus invites us to walk in the steps that He has already forged.  There were 86 spiritual decisions during this service, with 49 professions of faith. 

The story of Jesus feeding the five thousand teaches us many things about God’s heart toward us, and our walk with Jesus. Shane Pruitt points out the compassion of Jesus, the call on us, and the capability of Jesus. A little bit in the hands of Jesus is better than a lot in our own hands.   During this message, there were a total of 187 decisions, with 95 professions of faith. 

As people who have entered into a relationship with Christ, we have a unique calling upon our lives. In this message, Shane Pruitt teaches from Ephesians 4 about how we can live out this calling. During this service, there were a total of 198 spiritual decisions, with 73 professions of faith. 

Salvation goes far beyond the moment when we enter into a relationship with Christ. It is a life-long experience. In this message, Shane Pruitt shares four callings that relate to being a believer, encouraging us to live Jesus only lives.  During this service, there were a total of 201 spiritual decisions, with 85 professions of faith.

In this podcast, Shane Pruitt preaches on John 3:16, a very well-known Bible verse. God showed His love for us by sending His absolute best: His one and only Son. John 3:17-18 tells us that Jesus did not come to condemn us, but rather to save us. To enter relationship with Jesus through His saving grace, we simply must repent - which Shane Pruitt describes as a changing of heart and mind – and fol...

Shane Pruitt brings a message from Genesis chapters 1-3 on the first night of Falls Creek Youth Camp. He discusses how and why God made us, our problem with sin, and how Jesus made a way for us to be in relationship with Him. May every part of our being be used to glorify Christ and point others to Him.   There were a total of 115 spiritual decisions during this service, with 74 professions of fai...

There are many excuses that can be made about neglecting to live the life that God has called us to live. Sometimes it may seem that it is too hard to follow Jesus, or that there are more important things to do than following Jesus. But God calls us to full surrender in Matthew 6:24. God’s plan and purpose is bigger than our own agenda. Are you fully surrendered to Christ?

There is an “already” aspect of knowing Christ, and a “not yet” aspect of being with Jesus. As followers of Christ we have the blessing of knowing Him, but we are not yet in His presence. In this message, Shane Pruitt teaches us how to be solid in between the time of knowing Jesus and being with Jesus. We should be solid in our salvation, solid in our time with the Lord, and solid in our calling t...

When we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, He changes who we are and what we do. We are not just spectators of the cross, but rather participants of the cross. In this message, Shane Pruitt speaks about the universal calling to ministry, and the unique calling to ministry that is presented to us in Ephesians 2:8-9. We are saved to be set apart.

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14 focuses on two groups of people: the self-righteous and the Christ-righteous. Self-righteous people trust in themselves, but Christ-righteous people know that they are unable to fix themselves, and they trust in Jesus. Salvation is not trying harder, it is trusting more. Because the grave is empty, we can be full of the life, love,...

King Jesus is better than anything that this world has to offer. In this message, Shane Pruitt teaches from Matthew 13 (the Parable of the Hidden Treasure) and Philippians 3:3-9, which speaks about knowing Christ. Our biggest problem is sin, our disobedience that separates us from God. Sin is a big problem, but Jesus is a bigger solution.

Hebrews 12:1-3 instructs us to run with perseverance the race that Christ has set before us. We can run this race with comfort from others’ success, by casting off our sins, and by concentrating on our Savior. In this message, Scott Pace urges us to not give in, give out, or give up on running this race.

As followers of Christ we are called to be set apart, presenting our lives to Christ as a living sacrifice. This sacrifice is talked about in Romans 12:1-2, it is to be humble, holy, and honorable. Rather than being conformed to this world, we should be changed by the word of God and compelled by His will. In this message, Scott Pace urges us to choose freedom in Jesus.

Sin can be reckless. It leads us with an entitled attitude, lures us with an enticing attraction, and leaves us with an empty appetite. It causes us to drift away from the Father. In this message, Scott Pace preaches through Luke 15:11-32 about the parable of the lost sons. In this story we see the sons being drawn to their father by his relentless love. We too should be drawn to our Heavenly Fath...

In this message, Scott Pace points out three things that we need to know about a choice presented to us in Matthew 16:24-26. There is a choice to make, everyone is asked, but not everyone will accept. There is a cross to take; just as Jesus died for our sin, we must die to ours. Lastly, there is a cost at stake; the gift that Jesus gives us costs nothing, but the choice that we have to make will c...

Jesus is The King, His power is unrivaled. In Philippians 2:5-11 we see that Jesus is the cosmic king, the crucified king, and the conquering king. We should choose Jesus because He deserves universal praise and demands a personal response. 

In Revelation 2:1-7, we find a letter that was written to the church of Ephesus. In this letter, we see that the passion and fire of the movement of Christ that had started in Ephesus began to fade over time. Oftentimes our passion for Christ also fades over time. In this message, Michael Butler teaches us to keep our passion fresh, vibrant, and real. We see a commendation to receive, a condemnati...

The Christian life is not always easy, but God has called each of us to live a life that is faithful to Him and to influence others for Christ. 2 Timothy 4:1-7 instructs us on how to run the race of life with purpose. We have a charge to proclaim, a change to present, and a call to persevere. 

Be strong, put on, take up, and stand; these 4 imperatives are found in Ephesians 6:10-20. Being strengthened through Christ is not a passive process. We must actively surrender to His control, stand firm against the enemy, and surround ourselves with His armor. In this podcast, Michael Butler teaches about the purpose of this armor, and how God strengthens us.

Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ have been rescued from the weight of sin by the grace of God and brought to life in Him. This is written in Ephesians chapter 2. We have been saved through Jesus so that we may glorify God with our lives. In this message, Michael Butler encourages us to walk in the influence that we have been entrusted, fulfilling the mission of the gospel.

In Acts 19:1-10 we see how the the gospel impacts those in Ephesus. In the same way that the people of Ephesus were impacted, we too can be through the advancement of the gospel, beginning with a moment of real faith. In this message, Michael Butler preaches about the moment, message, movement, and multiplication of real faith.

In this message, David Sons talks about the father in the parable of the lost sons in Luke 15. In this parable, we see how the father responds to his son after being rejected, which reveals his character. The compassion and kindness of the father is displayed in his response and invitation to his sons. This same compassion and kindness can be found in our Heavenly Father if we put our faith in Him...
