Multiply Church (Pensacola)

This week we examine one of the closest moments David came to compromising everything God had been shaping in him. Through the story of Nabal and Abigail, we're reminded that compromise rarely begins with rebellion but often grows from hurt, exhaustion, and wounded pride, and that God's grace often intervenes through faithful people who call us back to obedience. The invitation is simple: don't tr...

What story is shaping your life? In 1 Samuel 24, David stands at a crossroads where revenge, public opinion, and the pursuit of identity all compete for his heart. This message explores why the better story of Jesus always leads to forgiveness, trust in God's timing, and an identity that is received rather than achieved

When life feels like everything is working against you, it is easy to wonder where God is. In 1 Samuel 21–23, David finds himself on the run, facing impossible decisions, overwhelming fear, and painful betrayal. Yet through every challenge, God is not absent. He is shaping David's faith and teaching him to depend on Him. This message explores how God meets us in our darkest seasons, why we were ne...

In 1 Samuel 18 & 19, we see Saul’s jealousy of David reveal how insecurity and self-focus can distort our view of God’s purposes and lead us toward self-destruction. In contrast, David responds with humility, faithfulness, and trust in God’s timing, reminding us that true victory comes through surrender to God rather than self-promotion. Ultimately, the passage points us to Christ, who humbled Him...

In 1 Samuel 16 and 17, we are introduced to David, a man chosen not because of his appearance, talent, or status, but because of his heart. As we contrast David with Saul, we discover that God is far more concerned with what is happening beneath the surface than what others can see. Through David's patience, character, and dependence on God, we're challenged to examine our own lives and ask: If we...

This week we walk through one of the most difficult and revealing moments in the life of Saul from 1 Samuel 15. Beneath the tension of the passage is a deeper question every disciple must wrestle with: will we trust God enough to obey Him fully? This message explores how partial obedience, self protection, and compromise slowly shape our hearts while also reminding us that Jesus is not trying to r...

This week in our series through 1 Samuel, we take a hard look at King Saul and discover how pressure reveals what’s really happening beneath the surface of our lives. Pride, fear, impatience, and self justification may be easy to hide for a season, but eventually what’s hidden comes to light. The good news of the gospel is that the very things we try to conceal are the things Jesus wants to heal.

This week in Kings and Kingdoms, we explore Israel’s demand for “a king like the nations” in 1 Samuel 8 and uncover the deeper issue beneath their request: comparison. As Israel looks around at the power and security of surrounding kingdoms, they begin to distrust the God who had faithfully led them all along. This message challenges us to confront the subtle ways comparison still shapes our lives...

This week we kicked off our new series through 1 Samuel called “Kings and Kingdoms” by looking at the life of Hannah. In the middle of grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, Hannah shows us what resilient faith looks like through perseverance, prayer, and praise. Her story reminds us that God opposes the proud, works even in the middle of evil and suffering, and is unfolding a greater plan...

In this message, we unpack how generosity shapes a church family's identity and reveals God's work in our hearts. Through 2 Corinthians 9, we see that giving is not just an action but a reflection of trust, healing, and transformation. As we live open-handedly, our lives become a visible expression of the gospel that leads others to glorify God.

This message unpacks the one truth that binds us together as God’s family—the resurrection of Jesus—and the one mission it empowers us to live out: making disciples of all nations. Because Jesus is alive and holds all authority, our faith is built not on our strength but on His finished work. Even in our doubts and everyday lives, we are invited to live on mission by faithfully following Him and h...

When church becomes family, we move from sitting on the sidelines to stepping into the story. In 1 Corinthians 12, we see that every believer is filled with God’s Spirit, uniquely gifted, and deeply needed in the life of the church. This message is an invitation to stop consuming and start contributing to live with awareness, say yes to your role, and be part of what God is building through His pe...

Loneliness and disconnection are shaping our culture, but Jesus offers something different a family. In this message, we look at what it means to belong to a local church and how God invites each of us to step into deeper community. This is a call to stop attending and start belonging.

The resurrection of Jesus is either everything or nothing, and this message invites you to examine what you actually believe about it. We explore why it’s historically credible, why it speaks to our deepest longings for meaning and hope, and how it reshapes both our present and our future. If it’s true, it’s not just something to agree with, it’s something that demands a response.

This message explores how the cross, which looked like defeat, was actually the moment Jesus secured a cosmic victory over sin and evil, purchased our forgiveness, and made true freedom available. This freedom is not automatic but must be personally received, not just understood. The cross invites each of us to respond and decide what we will do with what Jesus has done.

Jesus answers the question we all ask at some point: how does it all end? In Luke 21, he shifts the focus away from timelines and toward a way of living that is alert, prayerful, and engaged. What you believe about the future will quietly shape how you live today.

Jesus warns that one of the most dangerous heart conditions is also one of the hardest to see. In this message from Luke 12, we explore the parable of the rich man who built bigger barns and discover how greed quietly replaces trust in God. True freedom is not found in accumulating more but in becoming people who are rich toward God and open handed with everything he has given us.

In Luke 8, Jesus tells the parable of the sower to reveal that the Word of God lands on different kinds of hearts just like seed falls on different kinds of soil. This message invites us to examine how we listen to Jesus, because the condition of our hearts determines whether His word is ignored, abandoned, crowded out, or produces lasting fruit. As followers of Jesus, we are called not only to re...

In Luke 6, Jesus confronts a culture of religious performance by revealing the Sabbath as a gift meant to lead us into deep rest, not a rule to prove our worth. As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus fulfills what the law pointed toward and invites us to find true soul level rest in relationship with him. This message explores how resting in Christ reshapes everyday life, freeing us from striving and formi...

In Persevering Prayers from Luke 18:1–14, we explore what it means to live between the “Now and the Not Yet” of God’s kingdom and why Jesus calls us to pray without losing heart. Through the parables of the persistent widow and the Pharisee and tax collector, we see that prayer isn’t about persuading a reluctant God, but about knowing a holy, compassionate Father and humbling ourselves before Him....

Guest Speaker: Justin Graves Jesus continues his instructions on prayer by creating several scenarios that describe God the fathers heart when it comes to prayer. We can approach him as children with all our needs. Our asking is a persistent asking as well not to demand we get what we asked for but as a relational move of trust. He loves to hear from us and he loves when we ask. This is a message...

The disciples of Jesus watched his prayer life and asked him to show him how to pray. This is the only thing the asked Jesus to show them how to do. They didn’t ask him how to heal, how to teach, of to lead, they simply asked him how to pray b/c they were convinced, if they could learn to pray that way, they would do what he did. This is a message that almost encompasses prayer 101. Jesus shows th...

This message kicks off a month focused on prayer by looking at how Jesus prayed before every major moment in his life. Through scenes from Luke’s Gospel, we see that prayer for Jesus was not about performance or getting answers, but about relationship, slowing down, and staying in step with God’s work. The invitation for listeners is simple but challenging: if we want to follow Jesus, we have to f...

In Luke 4, Jesus steps into his hometown synagogue and announces why he has come, declaring good news, freedom, and healing for those willing to admit their need. What begins as admiration quickly turns to outrage when Jesus reveals that God’s grace has always moved toward the unlikely and the outsider, forcing a decision about who he really is. This message invites us to accept Jesus on his terms...

On this special Family Commissioning Sunday, we take a look at Luke 18 where Jesus’ declares children worthy of his presence. Our desire as a church is to empower parents to embody this vision within their homes, but then as a church, to provide supplemental support to our families.
