In the final message of the Wisdom for Wealth series, Pastor Hazen Stevens brings clarity to the practical outworking of biblical stewardship. Building on the foundation of submission and trust, this message introduces three simple but powerful rules that shape a life of faithful wealth: earn, save, and give. Drawing from John Wesley’s framework—“Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you ca...

In the opening message of the Wisdom for Wealth series, Pastor Hazen Stevens reframes the way we think about money. Most conversations about wealth focus on strategy—how to make more, invest better, or advance financially. But Scripture begins with a deeper question: Who—or what—are you trusting? Jesus taught that the heart cannot serve two masters. Money itself is not the problem; it is the postu...

In the final message of the Culture of Hunger series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores Jesus’ promise in the Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” This hunger is not produced by moral striving or religious effort. It begins when we recognize our spiritual poverty and cling to the righteousness Christ gives by faith. Walking through the p...

In Week 2 of the Culture of Hunger series, Pastor Hazen Stevens calls us back to a deep, joyful longing for Scripture. Psalm 119 stands at the center of the Bible as a testimony to wholehearted devotion—“Blessed are those whose way is blameless… who seek Him with all their heart.” The psalmist doesn’t merely respect God’s Word—he delights in it, hides it in his heart, and builds his life upon it....

What does it look like to live as a spiritual family marked by hunger for God? In this opening message of the Culture of Hunger series, Billy Humphrey teaches that spiritual hunger is the essential edge in the Christian life. Hunger perseveres through trials, stays faithful in mundane seasons, seeks God in dry times, and presses in when He is moving. Giftedness may open doors—but hunger sustains d...

It’s not just how you start—it’s how you finish. In this final message of the Start Strong series, Pastor Hazen Stevens calls us to persevere when the summit is only halfway. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the apostle Paul’s life across decades, we’re reminded that endurance is not just for sprinters but for finishers. Through biblical insight and stories like Gabriela Andersen-Schiess's iconic O...

In this powerful message, Pastor Hazen Stevens teaches that the Kingdom of God is worth more than anything we could ever give up to gain it. Like a man who joyfully sells everything to buy a hidden treasure, we’re called to radical surrender—not out of duty, but out of delight. The true cost is not what we lose, but what we miss if we don’t see the value of the Kingdom now. Key Scriptures: Hebrews...

In this opening message of the Start Strong series, Pastor Hazen Stevens challenges us to begin the year not with impulse, but with intention. Jesus told us to “count the cost” of discipleship—because unfinished towers and unplanned battles lead to loss. Drawing from Scripture and stories of victory and failure, this message calls us to build wisely, prepare thoroughly, and follow Jesus with resol...

In this climactic Christmas message, Pastor Hazen Stevens declares that the same Child laid in a manger will one day return as King and Judge. From Bethlehem to the Cross to the Throne, the story of Jesus is not just about comfort—it’s about Kingdom. The manger invites us to humility, but the second coming demands worship. The question isn’t if He is King—it’s how you’ll respond. Key Scriptures: I...

In this Christmas message, Pastor Hazen Stevens invites us to journey with the Magi—outsiders who traveled a thousand miles not just to witness a miracle, but to kneel before a King. The story of the manger reveals God’s humility and healing; the star reveals His authority and reign. We can’t stop at the stable—we must follow the light all the way to surrender. He came not only to heal but to rule...

In this Advent message, Pastor Hazen Stevens unpacks the prophetic arc that leads to Christmas: from Micah’s Shepherd-King to Isaiah’s Suffering Servant. The arrival of the Messiah is more than a moment in history—it’s the beginning of healing. He entered our brokenness to make us whole. Whether wounded physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, the promise still holds: Healthy Today—M...
