Most of our pain comes from the stories we tell ourselves - not the people around us. When we stop taking things personally and choose gratitude over judgement, we begin interpreting life through our identity in Christ rather than our ego. This renewed lens produces peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

When we choose gratitude, we’re not just obeying Scripture—we’re reshaping our hearts and even our brains to trust God’s goodness. Like the disciples who forgot the miracle of the loaves, anxiety often comes from forgetting who Jesus has already proven Himself to be. When we remember His faithfulness and give thanks, peace—both spiritual and biological—rises up to guard our hearts and minds, empow...

Worship is Different Under the New Covenant - Clint Byars by Forward Church Sermons

Your prayers are no longer hindered by wars in the heavenly realm, God has already forgiven you in the blood of Christ, and healing is available for all who believe. Today we will discuss how all of our beliefs must be informed by the new covenant and the resurrection of christ.

The heart is the Father for you must be the foundation of your faith. The resurrection is the pinnacle of his heart for you, and every belief we have must be rooted in these two things. Today we’ll look at the prodigal son parable to frame our beliefs and relationship with God to bear fruit.

This message unpacks the heart of evangelism rooted in the Father’s love, where the ministry of reconciliation isn’t a duty but an overflow of knowing we’ve already been reconciled to Him. We’ll look at how Jesus modeled serving from Sonship in John 13 and how, from that same place of identity and rest, we can carry God’s heart to the world.

Our nation is still feeling the shock waves of the last few weeks, and people are seeking God. Millions are reading the Bible again or for the first time, and millions are going to church. This is a good thing. As people are responding this way, what can we do to make sure we’re walking out the assignments God has for us?

Jesus lived perfectly to qualify to be the acceptable offering for the sin of the whole world. Forgiveness and redemption are only available through faith in His blood. Enjoy today’s message as we root you deeper in the Gospel!

Proverbs 16:3 tells us to “commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” In this message, discover how committing your works isn’t complicated—it’s rolling your plans onto God, trusting Him with the outcomes, and walking daily in His life and purposes. When you seek His kingdom, abide in Christ, and yield your steps to Him, your calling becomes clear and your path firm. Th...

Scripture tells us to apply your heart to instruction. We’re asking “what," but God is trying to tell us “how.” The what starts with you. It’s time to make a decision of how you’ll pursue His calling on your life, and He’ll give you the steps. You think you’re waiting on God, but He’s waiting on you. Let us help you move forward today!

You might think you’re waiting on God, but God is waiting on you. He has given you his spirit and has given you the mind of Christ, you can use it to make a decision and move forward. Today we’ll ask a few questions that will help you have a vision for your life and step into a meaningful life, full or purpose.

If you lack a clear life vision, you’re vulnerable to confusion and control. Without clarity, you’ll keep seeking something outside yourself to define you. The vision you embrace should be the outward expression of who you want to be and the values you live by. It’s time to pick a path, quit waiting for the nebulous “move of God” and waiting for someone to tell you what to do, make a decision, and...

Faith in the Blood - Nate Tanner by Forward Church Sermons

Lasting change begins in the heart, where your deepest beliefs—especially about your identity—are formed. True repentance is a continual turning from your own logic to God’s truth, allowing His Word to work at the identity level and reshape how you see yourself. Your only real work is to believe what God says about you and rest in that truth, because that’s where transformation happens.

The kingdom of God is in every believer. All of God’s promises and provision are available, they’re one belief away. Today we will discuss the parable of the sower and how our hearts determine the fruitfulness of the word of the kingdom and how we can persuade our heart to be more receptive.

Bible reading is a foundational pillar of being a Jesus follower. But the magic of transformation happens when you let the Bible read you. The Word of God is alive, it’s a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, which is where your beliefs are written. Reflecting in the Word of God will reveal to you what you truly believe. Once you see your beliefs, you can allow yourself to put off l...

If you are in Christ, you can live guilt free, under the power of GRACE! Join us today as we unpack this powerful GOSPEL truth. Here's a sneak peak: Grace is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.

Happy Father’s Day!! Young men are looking for a life philosophy and a structure that can build their life on. Today we’ll discuss how men are built to lead and build with kingdom purpose.

People misunderstand grace. Grace is God’s power working in you. Because of grace, we are dead to sin and alive to Christ and we live above the lure of sin. Join us today as we discuss how grace is power, and not a license to sin.

Isaiah 10:27 was fulfilled when God broke the Assyrian yoke off Judah not by human effort but by His power—one angel destroyed 185,000 soldiers in a single night. In the same way today, every burden and yoke is destroyed not by striving, but by the anointing of Christ that abides in you. Join us today as we discuss how to pray with your spirit to position yourself to be strengthened in your inner...

Youth and Young Adult Pastor, Lyle Camp, brings a funny and insightful word on shifting your perspective to see what God already has in place in our lives.

If you are born again, God has placed His Spirit in you and you have become as one with Him as Jesus is. And…you have been anointed by Jesus, who baptizes us with the Holy Spirit. This is not a one time event, it is a lifestyle. Jesus works with us, continually empowering us for fruits and gifts.
