Have you ever found yourself carrying the weight of guilt, wondering if you’ve done enough for God, or feeling like your past still defines you? This week, Scott shares the life-changing truth that the gospel is not about earning God’s approval—it’s about trusting in the finished work of Christ. Because of the cross, we are no longer condemned. We have been reconciled to God, made righteous throug...

Have you ever wondered if God has forgotten about the promise He gave you? In this Father’s Day message, Pastor Dereck shares the story of Jairus—a father facing a desperate situation who chose to bring his burden to Jesus.

Have you ever felt like God gave you a promise, a dream, or a calling but the journey to get there is taking longer than you expected? This week, Pastor Dereck looks at the life of Joseph and reminds us that God’s promises often come with a process. Joseph received a dream from God, but before its fulfillment came rejection, false accusations, prison, and years of waiting. This message encourages...

Have you ever felt like your weaknesses, insecurities, or past mistakes disqualify you from being used by God? This week, Pastor Dereck looks at the story of Ehud in Judges 3 and shows how God often uses the very things we see as weaknesses to accomplish His purpose. In a culture that celebrated strength and fitting in, God chose a left-handed leader to bring deliverance to an entire nation. This...

What is God asking you to step out of the boat and trust Him with? In week two of Prepare the Way, Pastor Dereck shares a powerful message about obedience, surrender, and going ALL IN with Jesus. Looking at Peter stepping out onto the water in Matthew 14, we’re reminded that faith isn’t staying comfortable in the boat — it’s trusting Jesus enough to take the next step, even when fear is loud. Bapt...

What does it look like to prepare the way for God to move in your life? In Prepare the Way, Pastor Dereck walks through Luke 3 and the message of John the Baptist—a call to repentance, transformation, and making room for Jesus to reign in every area of our lives. Repentance isn’t just feeling bad about sin. It’s turning toward God and allowing Him to change the direction of your heart. No one is t...

What do you do when fear and faith exist at the same time? In The Tension of Trust, we look at 1 Kings 17 and the widow who thought she was down to her last meal—until God stepped into her need. When resources felt low… When the future felt uncertain… God still provided. You may not see how He’s going to make a way yet, but He is still faithful.

Are your excuses keeping you stuck? The biggest battles aren’t around you—they’re within you. And your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts. In Mind Games , we look at John 5 and the man who was stuck for 38 years—and the mindset shift that changed everything. You don’t have to stay stuck.

Tired of saying “I will… but first…”? The delay, the hesitation, waiting for the right moment —it can keep you stuck longer than you think. But Jesus calls us to move now, not later. This message, Stop Waiting , walks through Gospel of Luke 9 and challenges the excuses we hold onto—comfort, convenience, and everything on our “first let me…” list. If you’ve been putting off what God is asking of yo...

This message kicks off Mind Games and shows how to take your thoughts captive and start...

What if the worst thing that’s happened to you… isn’t the end of your story? In Mark 16, they were asking, “Who will roll away the stone?” They came expecting death—but Jesus had already moved what they couldn’t. The resurrection reminds us God gets the final word. Not your past. Not your pain. If the tomb is empty, anything is possible. Access the digital message notes at https://note.church/arch...

What are you building your life on? You can hear the Word, take notes, and still feel shaky when life gets hard. Because it’s not hearing that builds your life—it’s obedience. In Matthew 7:24–27, Jesus shows us two builders. Same storm… different outcome. The difference was the foundation. When life hits, what you’ve built on will be revealed.

What’s really going on in your heart right now?

What if the freedom you’re praying for is on the other side of forgiveness? In this message, Pastor Dereck walks through Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18 and reveals a powerful truth: when we remember how much God has forgiven us, it changes the way we forgive others. Forgiveness isn’t about minimizing the hurt—it’s about releasing the debt and choosing freedom over bitterness. Access the digital mess...

Have you ever felt like one failure defined your whole story? In this message, we look at the fall and restoration of Samson in the Book of Judges and discover a powerful truth: God’s grace is greater than your failure. He restores you in hidden seasons and can change your future even when your past feels heavy. If you’re carrying regret or wondering if God can still use you, this message is for y...

Have you ever noticed the red flags… and hoped they’d change later? In this message, we continue the Looking for Love series by walking through the story of Samson and a truth many of us learn the hard way: red flags don’t turn green. Attraction doesn’t always mean alignment, compromise always costs more than we expect, and relationships should protect your calling—not pull you away from it. If yo...

What if the love you’ve been searching for was never missing? In week one of Looking for Love: Finding God’s Design for Love and Relationships, Pastor Dereck walks through the story of Samson—a man chosen by God, yet searching for love in the wrong places. This message reminds us that identity comes before intimacy and that relationships were never meant to give us what only God can. If you’ve bee...

What do you do when you’re moving forward… and suddenly hit a wall? In this message from Moving Life Forward, Pastor Dereck reminds us that walls don’t mean God is silent. Through the story of Jericho, we see that some obstacles don’t fall by strength or strategy, but through obedience and trusting God’s voice. Walls built from fear, unbelief, or discouragement don’t come down by accident. They fa...

What if what God wants to do tomorrow begins with what you surrender today? Before Israel crossed the Jordan, God didn’t ask for a battle plan—He asked for consecration. Pastor Dereck shows how consecration prepares us, the Holy Spirit leads us, and obedience positions us for what God has promised. The miracle wasn’t delayed—Israel just needed to step into it. If you’ve been asking God for a new s...

What if going back feels safer than moving forward? Pastor Dereck challenges us to recognize how fear can make bondage look familiar and faith look risky—yet God calls us to trust Him, believe He is with us, and step into a better future than the past we’re tempted to revisit.

What if moving your life forward starts with fixing your focus? In Moving Life Forward, Pastor Dereck teaches from Philippians 3:13–14, reminding us that motion doesn’t always mean movement. God calls us to forget what’s behind, press toward what’s ahead, and align our lives with His promises. As we begin 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, this message challenges us to silence negativity, speak God’s...

What if the silence you’re experiencing isn’t God’s absence… but His timing? In Not-So-Silent Night, Pastor Dereck teaches from Luke 1 and reminds us that God often works powerfully in seasons of waiting. Through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, we’re reminded that God knows your name, hears your prayers, and His purpose will prevail. Christmas is the moment God broke through the silence — an...
