FIVE39 Church

This Sunday we kick off a new series, “Worship Is War.” We all worship on a daily basis, and our worship is often distracted, stolen, and misplaced. We end up worshiping self and lesser gods. This series is a call to action and repentance, putting Jesus in His rightful place in our lives. We must worship Jesus when we gather and when we go. We are not the focus. Our lives are not our own. We will...

This week, we will look at a miracle found in Matthew 14:22–33. Jesus’ disciples find themselves in a boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, stuck in a violent storm. Just when things seem hopeless, that’s when Jesus shows up. Doesn’t it seem that when we experience the toughest and most violent storms in our lives, Jesus shows up at just the right time? Jesus approaches the disciples by walkin...

This Sunday we’re going to talk about something we all know too well: seasons when life feels like a wilderness. When things are stripped back, answers feel delayed, and temptation shows up loud and clear. In Matthew 4, Jesus steps into that same space before His ministry even begins. Hungry, tested, and pressed, yet fully trusting the Father. It’s a reminder that our struggles aren’t signs that G...

This Christmas Eve service, Pastor Mike preaches on John 3 as Nicodemus meets Jesus in the night. WEBSITE: https://five39.church/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/five39church/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/five39church/ PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/five39-church/

This Sunday we’re going to continue our series Into the Night by looking at when the shepherds are called in the night to share the news about Christ. This story is so powerful. Why does God go to them first, making them the first evangelists? The least likely, common, uneducated, and unreliable people in society are chosen to carry this message. We believe it is because they had boldness. They we...

This Sunday we have over 40 baptisms. We don’t want to see that number and think it’s normal. What we’re seeing God do among us is special. We’re seeing a mass of people trust in Jesus for salvation and take significant steps of spiritual growth. We are not sure how long this season will last, but may we have much joy in our hearts, giving Jesus all the glory! We will be in Acts 16, looking at two...

This week we begin our Advent series as we prepare our hearts for Christmas. We’ll be in Isaiah 9:2–7 with a message titled, “The Name That Breaks the Night.” In Isaiah’s day, God’s people were living in deep darkness —rebellion in their hearts, enemies on every side, fear in their future. And into that darkness came a promise : a Child would be born, a Son would be given, a King would come. The p...

This week we look at Psalm 118:5–24 with a message God put on Mike’s heart a few months ago titled “LOOK UP.” For those of us who follow Jesus, we need to look up—not around. If we look at ourselves, we’re greatly mistaken about who is responsible for all of this. And for the lost people we’re bringing with us—they need to look up and see that salvation is offered to them. Look to Jesus! Tomorrow...

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for what the Lord has done these past three years. We never could have imagined God using our church the way He has. This Sunday will be both a look back and a look forward—celebrating the miracles God has done and asking Him to keep doing what only He can do. We’ll spend time in Joshua 10 to see how God moves miraculously—and what that means for us today....

This Sunday, we’re going to be in Joshua 7 , looking at how, right after Israel experiences a massive victory, one person’s sin and self-reliance bring God’s anger upon the entire people. How can it be that one weekend the people of God have His blessing, and the next they don’t? That’s something worth paying attention to. We often read these stories and think, “How could they do that?” Instead, w...

Whenever God is working miracles among you, it’s a sign that others have been preparing the way. When it comes to spiritual battles, there are a few key things to focus on. Last week, we talked about gratitude; this week, we’ll talk about the need for others to hold us up . Everyone grows weary at times and needs help.

Last week, we saw eight people stand for salvation… God is not done at Goodyear Blvd! But this is also our final month at our current location. Before we move forward, we need to take time to thank and celebrate all that God has done. In this series, we’re taking a holy pause —a moment to praise God for His faithfulness. We’ll be in Psalm 40:1–10 , reflecting on how important it is to remember wha...

This week we will look at a story found in Luke 7:36–50. When Jesus was eating at the house of Simon the Pharisee, a woman interrupted their dinner. Verse 37 identifies this woman as a “woman of the city,” a sinner. Simon and his guests saw themselves as self-righteously superior to this woman. She was no better than her past sins and mistakes. Simon and his guests did not make room for this woman...

This week we wrap up our series in the book of Acts—for now—in chapter 9. We will be looking at the second most influential person in history, the Apostle Paul’s conversation story! Some encounters require evidence. Some people you meet should change the trajectory of your life. Spiritually, when you encounter Jesus, you should never leave the same. We’ll see the story of Saul—how Jesus meets him,...

Have you ever felt like life, and even faith, has gotten  too complicated ? We chase more, fill our schedules, and crowd our lives until what was once simple starts to feel heavy. But what if following Jesus was never meant to be complex? This Sunday, we’re looking at a powerful story in Acts 8 that reminds us:  life with Jesus isn’t a maze of complexity but a path of clarity: a simple gospel and...

This Sunday we continue our series in the book of Acts, talking about the church, leaving the building, and being the tangible hands and feet of Jesus. We’ll be in Acts 7, looking at the very first martyr in church history. The message is titled “Free to Forgive.” We’ll examine Stephen’s interaction with those who were hateful toward him—how he responded and where he found his confidence. Stephen...

This week, we will continue our series through the book of Acts, focusing on chapter 6. This chapter opens with the early church experiencing a problem—a conflict. We will look at the problem the apostles faced, the solution proposed, and the results of how the conflict was resolved. We will see that the reason this conflict ended well was the unity that existed among the apostles and the many bel...

This week, we will be in chapter 4, talking about being  average  and  available  for Jesus. Peter and John are put on trial, and they speak up for Jesus and the gospel message. They don’t crumble in fear. This will be a strong call for us, both as individuals and as a church, not to feel threatened by cancel culture, but to speak boldly for Jesus, regardless of the cost. We see two men who are ac...

What if being busy wasn't a badge of honor but a sign of spiritual immaturity? This Sunday, we continue our series in the book of Acts by looking at a powerful story in chapter 3. Peter and John are on their way to a prayer meeting when they encounter a man with a physical need, but they end up meeting a spiritual need as well. With boldness, they call upon the name of Jesus to heal him! This...

This Sunday we kick off a new series in Acts called “ The Church Has Left the Building. ” Later this fall, we’ll be moving buildings as a church, and along the way we’re going to keep talking about what that means and what we’ll be focusing on looking at the book of Acts to help shape our thinking about buildings and the church as a whole.  Here’s the thing: FIVE39 is not a building, it’s the peop...

It’s been an amazing summer so far. We’ve walked through the parables, wrestled with some TOUGH questions, and now we’re preparing for an exciting fall as we move into our new church building. Story Sunday is a chance to pause, reset, and refocus together as a body. We get to hear what God has done in the lives of others, reminding us we’re not alone and reigniting our passion to keep inviting peo...

This Sunday, we’re tackling some of the real questions people are asking—questions that shape how we follow Jesus today. From wrestling with singleness to deciding whether to attend a same-sex wedding, to walking through church hurt, we’re not shying away from the conversations that matter most. These aren’t just “theological debates.” They’re everyday struggles where faith meets real life. We’ll...

This Sunday, we’re continuing our series by leaning into some honest, often heavy, questions from the heart: Can I lose my salvation? How do you navigate a marriage where your spouse is not a believer? What are the main differences between Catholicism and Christianity? How do you share the gospel with someone who believes works save them? We walk through these four questions, spending 5–10 minutes...

This Sunday we’re launching a brand-new series called “Ask Me Anything.” Over the next few weeks, we’ll be answering real questions submitted by people in our church—questions about  faith ,  life , and what it means to  follow  Jesus. We’re kicking things off with a big one: Why is there such a discipleship dilemma in the church—and what’s our response to it? Research from the Barna Group shows t...

Wrapping up this series we’re diving into one of the most overlooked parables— the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14. In my opinion, it should be at the top of the list. Jesus tells a story where the invitation goes out to everyone —the outcasts, the overlooked, the unexpected—because His desire is that His house would be full . That invitation still stands today. And guess who it comes thro...
