Fierce Church Sermons

😮‍💨 Tired? Not just physically tired… Soul tired. The kind of tired that comes from carrying stress, anxiety, expectations, and worries that never seem to stop. In Matthew 11, Jesus gives one of the most beautiful invitations in all of Scripture: ❤️ "Come to Me… and I will give you rest." But what does that actually mean? In this message, guest speaker Adam Reardon unpacks Jesus'...

😔 Ever feel like you're constantly messing up? 😔 Like no matter how much you pray, read your Bible, or go to church, you still feel guilty… distant… or spiritually dry? You're not alone. In this powerful message, Pastor Mike Bryant reminds us of the good news of the Gospel: Jesus didn't come to condemn you—He came to restore you. After Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus didn&ap...

👊 What does it actually mean to be a man? In a world where many men feel isolated, stuck, and unsure of their purpose, the answer isn't found in becoming tougher, richer, or more successful. It's found in becoming a man of consequence. In this Father's Day message, Brandon Adkins explores what Scripture teaches about biblical manhood, leadership, strength, and purpose. A man of con...

☁️ What actually happens when we die? ❤️ Will we still be ourselves in heaven? 🙏 Why does heaven feel so distant when Scripture talks about it like it's our future home? In this message, Mark Carter explores what the Bible says about heaven, grief, eternity, and the incredible future waiting for followers of Jesus. When someone we love dies, grief is real. Jesus never asks us to ignore that...

Have you ever looked back on a situation and realized it could have gone much worse?  A relationship could have ended differently. A mistake could have cost more. A crisis could have hit harder.  Sometimes God's mercy shows up in ways we don't even recognize until later. In this message, Laveda Jones explores the story of the ten lepers Jesus healed. All ten received mercy, but only one...

Talking about Jesus can feel awkward. What do you say? How do you bring it up naturally? What if you don’t know enough? What if it gets uncomfortable? In this message from our Secrets of the Chill People series, Robert James shares how to talk about Jesus with people around you—even when it feels awkward, uncomfortable, or like you don’t have the right words. You don’t need all the answers. You do...

Sometimes prayer feels powerful. Sometimes it feels repetitive. Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening at all. So what do we do when prayer feels exhausting… or unanswered… or hard to keep going? We keep praying. In this message from our This Is What We Do series, Pastor Mark shares why perseverance in prayer matters—not because God is distant, but because prayer strengthens us for the fight...

Following Jesus was never meant to be passive. 👀 At Fierce Church, we believe church is more than attending services. It’s about: ✨ Growing spiritually 🔥 Developing leadership 🤝 Helping people encounter Jesus 👣 Walking with God step-by-step And one of the biggest ways people grow? Serving. In this special hybrid sermon from the This Is What We Do series, Pastor Mark Carter and several ministr...

Some women make us feel like we can do anything. Think of characters like Arwen, Éowyn, Black Widow, or Wonder Woman. They step into danger. They fight bravely. They rise when everything feels impossible. ⚔️ And sometimes we watch moments like that and think: “I want to be that strong.” But real life can feel very different. Real women get tired. Real women carry a lot. Real women can feel emotion...

Church was never meant to be a place where we simply sit, consume, and leave. It’s a place where God forms people, grows people, and sends people. 👣 In this final message of the Connect Class series, Pastor Mark Carter invites us to take our next step—not just toward membership, but toward ownership. At Fierce Church, we believe God brought you here for a reason. Not by accident. Not just because...

In this Connect Class message, Pastor Andy Schmeck breaks down what the Bible actually says about money, generosity, and trust—and why this conversation isn’t about pressure… it’s about purpose. At Fierce Church, we don’t avoid this topic because: Money can be used for incredible good Or it can quietly control our hearts God’s goal isn’t to take from you— It’s to transform how you live and give....

You were never meant to follow Jesus alone. 👀 Not quietly. Not independently. Not disconnected. From the very beginning, God designed faith to happen in community. In this Connect Class experience at Fierce Church, we took things a step further—literally. 🪑 Tables set up across the room 💬 Real conversations happening in real time 🤝 People actually getting to know each other Because church isn’...

Church isn’t just something you attend. It’s something you become part of. 🧩 In this special Connect Class experience, we’re breaking down the heart behind Fierce Church and what it really means to follow Jesus here. Our mission is simple—but powerful: We develop prevailing followers of Jesus Christ who walk with Him step-by-step. That means: Not perfect people Not finished people But people who...

Easter isn’t just a moment. It’s the fulfillment of a story that’s been unfolding since the beginning. ✨ From the first pages of the Bible, there were clues… Signs… Foreshadowing… Pointing to one person: Jesus. But here’s what we often miss: We love the promises. We love the hope. We love the victory. But we don’t always stop to think about the suffering it took to get there. Jesus didn’t acciden...

In this message from This Is What We Do, we look at the story of Zacchaeus—a tax collector, an outsider, and someone nobody thought deserved a second chance. But Jesus saw something different. Instead of avoiding him… Jesus called him by name. Went to his house. And brought him into the family. 🏡✨ This is the heart of God: He doesn’t just forgive the lost—He re-families them. And if that’s what...

Everyone wants to belong. To a group. To a community. To something bigger than themselves. 🫶 But what if you’ve always felt like an outsider? In this brand new series, This Is What We Do, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus—and it starts with this truth: God always wanted you in His kingdom. Long before we were here, God was already building a story of belonging: ✨ Pr...

Many of us live with an inner critic. The voice that says: You’re not good enough You’re doing everything wrong Everyone else has it figured out except you In this message from the Secrets of the Chill People series, Mackenzie Carter shares her personal journey with insecurity—and how Psalm 62 reveals the path to real peace. When David felt overwhelmed and under pressure, he discovered a powerful...

Some of us think like Pharisees—legalistic, rule-focused, and quick to judge. Others think like prodigals—lukewarm, drifting, and casual about faith. But Jesus shows us something deeper. Both groups share the same problem: A debt they cannot pay and a Savior they desperately need. When the Pharisees judged the woman who washed Jesus’ feet, they thought they understood righteousness. But Jesus reve...

Have you ever looked up and realized you’ve drifted off course spiritually? It happens to all of us. We forget the story we’re part of. We lose focus. We settle for comfort instead of courage. In Acts 7, Stephen reminds us what it looks like to stand firm in the truth—even when it’s unpopular, uncomfortable, or costly. As we step into Year One of our 15-year vision at Fierce Church, we’re making o...

Year One isn’t just about vision—it’s about transformation. And real transformation means learning to obey God even when it’s uncomfortable. In this message, we’re reminded: Growth often comes through mistakes and humility God teaches us through seasons we wouldn’t choose Righteous living isn’t about being perfect—it’s about surrender We must let go of the bad… and even the “good” we tried to do o...

2026 isn’t just another year. It’s Year One. 🚀 Last year, we shared a 15-year vision for what God could build through Fierce Church—a place where: ✨ People encounter Jesus in life-changing ways 📈 Leaders are developed and sent 🌎 Innovation reaches people online ✝️ Jesus stays at the center of every strategy But here’s the tension: God does not hand big futures to unchanged people. In Daniel 9,...

What if your breakthrough isn’t meant to be private? 🎉 In this message from the For Such a Time as This series, we reach the moment in Esther where God’s deliverance becomes impossible to ignore.  The Jews weren’t just rescued—they were called to celebrate, remember, and live differently because of what God had done. Here’s the tension: 👉 Silent witnesses believe God acted 👉 Visible witnesses l...

What if the worst moment of your life isn’t the end of the story? 😮‍💨➡️🙌 In this message from For Such a Time as This, we see the moment Esther finally stands before the king—and everything changes. What was meant for destruction turns into deliverance. What looked like defeat becomes victory. What seemed delayed becomes perfectly timed. God reveals Himself as a God of reversals. When things lo...

We quote Psalm 23 all the time—but do we actually live like it’s true? 🐑💭 In the final message of Land of Blue, we take a deep dive into Psalm 23 to discover what real confidence in Christ looks like. This sermon explores the difference between: ✨ Trusting that our Shepherd knows best ⚠️ Relying on ourselves—which often turns into pride, fear, and control God doesn’t just walk with us—He leads...

What do you do when following God starts to feel exhausting? In the Land of Blue , we’ve reached The Gusty Cliffs of Opposition —a place where ridicule, doubt, and resistance threaten to push us back. In Nehemiah 4, God’s people face mockery, fear, and internal discouragement while rebuilding the wall. And yet, they keep going. This message explores how Christians can stay emotionally and mentally...
