This week, we will dive into a parable that will help us address the current state of our personal prayer life (Luke 11:1–13). How do I pray? Do you believe that God hears your prayers and that He can answer them? Am I a persistent pray-er? What are some reasons people stop praying? What does it mean to ask, seek, and knock ? A persistent prayer life deepens your relationship with God, fostering t...

This week, we’ll see Jesus tell a parable to address pride and teach humility (Luke 18:9-14). How do I know if I’m humble? How do we know if we’re a humble church? How do we find humility—and keep it? Humility can be tricky. Pride doesn’t play fair. It’s easy to spot in others, but hard to see in the mirror. If you were asked to name someone who struggles with pride, most of us wouldn’t name ourse...

This Sunday we dive into the Parable of the Talents—a story that is both inspiring and deeply challenging. God has entrusted each of us with unique gifts, talents, and opportunities—not for our own glory, but to reflect His goodness and take part in His Kingdom work. Some respond with faith and action. Others hold back. This parable invites us to examine how we’re stewarding what we’ve been given....

This Sunday, we’re diving into the parable of the Unforgiving Servant. Jesus is in the middle of teaching about how to respond when a brother or sister sins against you, when Peter asks a familiar question: “ How many times must I forgive my brother or sister ?” Jesus uses this moment to tell a story that reveals God’s radical heart to forgive continually—and to teach that, as His followers, we’re...

This Sunday, we are diving into the parable of the wise and foolish builders. We’ll be looking at Luke’s account of this story. Jesus is surrounded by a great multitude of people who have sought Him out to be healed of physical ailments and freed from unclean spirits. He seizes this moment to teach some powerful life truths. As He wraps up this time of teaching, Jesus paints a picture of what it m...

This weekend We be celebrate Father’s Day and look at one of the most well-known parables Jesus ever told—the Prodigal Son. This story captures the heart of God’s love and forgiveness, while also challenging those of us who may be stuck in religion rather than relationship. Though most parables have one main point, this one carries a dual invitation: For the prodigal, it’s a call to come home . Fo...

This Sunday, we’re diving into the parable of the rich fool—a story Jesus tells right after being asked a question about money. He responds not with advice, but with a warning—and a story. One that reveals just how tightly our hearts can be wrapped around stuff . It’s a story about coveting, and it echoes the 10th commandment in a profound way. We’ll walk through Luke 12:13–21, unpack the signs of...

This Sunday in our Summer Stories series, we’ll hear a powerful word from one of Jesus’ most familiar parables—the Good Samaritan. But as we’ll see, this isn’t just a story about helping others. It’s a mirror held up to our hearts. Jesus not only exposes what keeps us from showing compassion—He invites us to live differently. In a world that often walks by, He calls us to stop, to see, and to step...

Our hearts were made not to be far from God’s Word, but to receive His Word so we might enjoy a fruitful life. This Sunday, we’re launching a new series that I believe could be truly life-changing. It’s called  Summer Stories: Parables of Jesus . Each week, we’ll dive into the powerful stories Jesus told—parables that speak directly to the condition of our hearts and how open we are to fully follo...

This Sunday, we’ll be wrapping up our series and potentially celebrating our last baptism at Goodyear Blvd! It’s a special moment—invite a friend and come worship as we celebrate all that God is doing. We’ll be diving into Mark 5, where a demon-possessed man comes to Jesus with his cuts and is completely healed. Jesus then sends him to share his story—a powerful reminder of redemption and purpose....

This Sunday, we’re continuing our series with a powerful and timely message for Mother’s Day! We’ll be in Luke 10:38–42, looking at the story of two women—Mary and Martha. One chose to sit and listen at Jesus’ feet, while the other was busy serving Him. You’d think both are good things… so how could they possibly be at odds?  The message is called “Disguised by Distraction”—because sometimes our d...

How often do you find yourself worrying about the needs of your life? Have you ever struggled with trusting that God will provide? This Sunday, we’ll hear the invitation of Jesus as He invites us to shift our surroundings to change our perspective (Matthew 6:25–34). In a world filled with worry, Jesus reminds us to look at the birds and flowers—not only as part of nature, but as evidence that God...

We have so much to celebrate—last week, 19 people stood to put their faith in Jesus as Savior! What a special season we’re in as a church. THANK YOU for all your hard work and for inviting so many to hear the gospel! This Sunday, we’re beginning a new series It Doesn’t Make Sense - Jesus and Mental Health. We’ll start the series by looking simply at how to use God’s Word and prayer to face our str...

We have so much to be thankful for—and even more to celebrate. This Saturday and Sunday, we get to gather in our new location to worship our Risen Savior. What a gift! Who would’ve imagined that just three Easters into our church’s story, we’d be in our second home? We’ve prayed, we’ve given, we’ve invited, we’ve worked—and now, we get to watch God move. This Sunday, Pastor Mike preaches a message...

This Good Friday, Pastor Gavin takes us through Isaiah 53 as we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice.  WEBSITE: https://five39.church/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/five39church/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/five39church/ PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/five39-church/

We’re just one week away from Easter weekend! We have been praying for all of you, asking God to give us opportunities to share Christ. This week, we’ll wrap up our series on different styles, personalities, and gifts, focusing specifically on invitation . We’ll look at John chapter 1 and explore the different approaches we see with various people. There’s often a lot of pressure when we think abo...

Why would we teach about hell? Most people have had bad experiences in church regarding this topic. It was often all about hellfire and brimstone, with little focus on the grace and love of Jesus. But what if these two topics go hand-in-hand? What if the most loving thing we could do is talk about the reality of hell? Jesus taught more about hell than He did about heaven, and as we strive to be li...

We continue our series If Not You  this week in 1 Corinthians 9:16-25, with a message titled  “By All Means.”  That phrase means doing whatever is necessary to accomplish a task. This passage will reveal God’s heart for people and provide some guidelines we need to follow if we’re going to reach the lost. A lot of people get defensive over silly things. In this passage, the Apostle Paul defends hi...

Last week, we had the incredible privilege of witnessing 21 individuals take the step of baptism. This Sunday, at our 8:30 AM service, we will hold our Elder Installation . We have so much to celebrate as a church! We'll dive into Matthew 9:35-38, where we’re reminded of the heart of Jesus’ ministry. As we approach our move into the new building, it’s easy to focus on the space we’re gaining....

Celebrate with us the 10 people who stood to receive Christ as Savior last week! 🤯 If last week wasn’t enough, this week we are celebrating 16 baptisms in our services! We keep sharing these moments with you because we don’t want to forget how special this time is. We’re in a unique season as a church. It feels like revival. Let’s make sure we thank the Lord and be faithful to what He has entrust...

This sermon was originally preached on September 22nd, 2024 Whatever you’re going through in life and where God has you, he has not forgotten you. It is easy to believe God has forgotten us, especially when other people are experiencing his healing power and we are not! We tend to stop going to God for something we once had great faith in. We tell ourselves to stop “bothering” Jesus, and I’m convi...

We’re in an exciting and important time as a church! This Sunday will feature a standalone sermon covering who leads the church and how our church is led. We will explore the role of elders—what they do, what should be true about their character, and who the elders are that we’re presenting to the church. Making this transition as a church lays a strong foundation for us as a body. In response to...

This Sunday, we will be in Colossians 4:12-18 with a message titled "Course Correct: Life Devoted to Jesus." In this passage, we are challenged to live lives devoted to Jesus in prayer, to display wisdom, and to be dedicated to serving in community. This passage calls each of us to reorient our lives around Jesus and to live devoted to Him. Although this may be unpopular, God not only ca...

This Sunday we will be in Colossians 3:18–4:1 with a message titled “An Ancient Strategy.” God provides a blueprint for how our families and workplaces should function and for how we should interact with one another. His design is best—even if it isn’t always what we experience—and nothing else works like His way as prescribed in Scripture. This passage calls each of us to a way of life that may n...

We hope you have enjoyed this study in Colossians. Chapters 1 and 2 have focused on what Christ has done for us and who we are in Him! In chapters 3 and 4, there will be a shift. How are we to live day-to-day, following Jesus? Everything we do should involve Jesus and be under His guidance—not just the hour at church, but the 167 hours we live throughout the rest of the week. It’s a call to be “al...
