Who is the Holy Spirit, and why does He matter? In Week 5 of Church, Dissected , Pastor Jeremy Scott explores what Scripture actually teaches about the Holy Spirit—not as an emotion or mysterious force, but as God Himself, present with His people. Discover how the Holy Spirit empowers believers for God's mission and faithfully transforms us into the image of Christ, one day at a time.

Why do Christians still practice baptism, communion, and generosity after nearly 2,000 years? In Week 4 of Church, Dissected , we unpack the purpose behind these foundational practices and discover that they aren't about religious tradition—they're about spiritual formation. Learn how baptism shapes our identity, communion anchors our remembrance of Christ, and generosity grows our trust i...

Why do we pray? In Week 2 of Church Dissected , we unpack Jesus' teaching on prayer and the example of the early church to discover that prayer is not about performance, but relationship. Learn how prayer develops trust, dependence, surrender, and intimacy with God, and why becoming a praying person may be one of the most important steps you can take in your walk with Christ.

What is the Church, really? In the opening message of Church Dissected , we explore Jesus' vision for the Church and the powerful picture of community found in Acts 2. Discover why church is more than a Sunday service, why belonging matters more than attendance, and how God designed His people to grow, serve, and follow Jesus together.

As we conclude our RADICAL series, we examine one of Jesus' strongest warnings in Matthew 23. Confronting the Pharisees, Jesus exposes the danger of outward religion without inward transformation and challenges us to stop managing appearances while neglecting our hearts. This message is a powerful invitation to move beyond performance, embrace honesty before God, and experience the healing tha...

In Week 5 of RADICAL , we look at one of the most intense moments in the life of Jesus: His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. While fear, chaos, and violence erupt around Him, Jesus responds with restraint and surrender instead of retaliation. This message challenges us to examine what “swords” we reach for when life feels out of control—and invites us to trust Jesus instead of escalating fear,...

What does greatness really look like? In Week 4 of RADICAL , we dive into Mark 10 and discover that Jesus completely flips the world’s definition of success upside down. While culture teaches us to chase status, influence, and recognition, Jesus calls His followers to humility, sacrifice, and serving others. This message will challenge the way you think about leadership, ambition, and what it trul...

Money affects nearly every part of life—our peace, priorities, fears, and decisions. In Week 3 of RADICAL , Pastor Jeremy unpacks Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 and reveals how money can quietly compete for our trust and worship. This message will challenge you to examine what rules your heart and invite Jesus back to the center.

What if everything you thought defined a “blessed life” was backwards? In this message from Gospel of Luke 6:20–26, we unpack how Jesus redefines blessing—not as comfort, success, or stability, but as dependence on God. This teaching challenges us to rethink our priorities, our pursuits, and the lives we’re building. It’s an invitation to move from control to trust, and from self-sufficiency to su...

What does it really mean to live like Jesus when you’ve been hurt? In Week 1 of Radical , we unpack one of His most challenging teachings—loving your enemies. This message invites us to move beyond retaliation, confront the instinct to get even, and step into a kind of love that disrupts cycles of hatred. It’s not easy—but it is transformational.

On Easter morning, Jesus didn’t first appear to the powerful or polished—He came near to Mary, a grieving woman standing outside the tomb. In this special Easter message from John 20:1–18, we’re reminded that the risen Jesus still meets people personally, especially those who feel overlooked, distant, or on the outside. Because the tomb is empty, hope is alive—and you don’t have to stay on the out...

Palm Sunday is a celebration—but it also confronts our expectations. In this message from Matthew 21:1–11, we explore the tension between the kind of king the crowd wanted and the kind of King Jesus truly is. Rather than arriving with the power of empire, Jesus came in humility, peace, and surrender. This sermon challenges us to stop asking Jesus to fit our script and instead follow Him as He real...

In Week 4 of Villains , we examine one of the most shocking turnarounds in Scripture—the story of Saul’s transformation into the Apostle Paul. Once a fierce persecutor of the church, Saul encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and his life changes forever. This message explores the power of redemption and what it means when God doesn’t just clean up the mess, but redeems the one who made it. If...

In Week 3 of Villains , we examine the rise and fall of King Saul through 1 Samuel 15:17–23 and uncover how pride quietly reshapes obedience. Saul didn’t openly reject God—he revised Him, choosing what made sense in his own eyes. This message challenges us to ask where we may be editing God’s instructions to fit our preferences. The call is simple but powerful: follow God fully and refuse the subt...

In Week 2 of Villains , we step into the story of Cain in Genesis 4 and look beyond the surface of the first murder in Scripture. Before there was violence in the field, there was a fallen face and an unchecked emotion. This message challenges us to confront the quiet resentment, comparison, and anger that can slowly reshape our hearts. We don’t have to let what we feel define what we do—God invit...

In Week 1 of Villains , we begin at the beginning—Genesis 3—to uncover how sin entered the human story and fractured the heart of humanity. Drawing from Romans 3, we see that villainy isn’t just “out there” in the obviously evil, but a drift that can take root in any of us. When autonomy replaces trust and justification replaces surrender, we slowly move from hero to villain in someone else’s stor...

What if God’s love doesn’t back away when we drift—but comes after us? In So Loved , we explore the depth and persistence of God’s love through one of the most raw and uncomfortable stories in Scripture: the book of Hosea. Paired with the familiar words of John 3:16, this message reveals a God whose love is not passive, distant, or conditional—but relentless, pursuing, and costly. This teaching co...

Who is your neighbor—and how far is love willing to go? In Week Four of Greater Things , we look at one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings: the parable of the Good Samaritan. In this story, Jesus redefines love of neighbor—not by proximity, similarity, or agreement, but by action. This message confronts our tendency to keep a safe distance from pain, inconvenience, and complexity, and instead in...

What do you do when you’re following Jesus… and things still feel unclear? In Week Three of Greater Things , we confront a reality many believers experience but rarely talk about: obedience doesn’t always bring clarity, and faithfulness doesn’t remove hardship. Sometimes the signal starts breaking up—confusion sets in, the road feels unfamiliar, and it’s hard to tell if you’re still headed in the...

What does it mean to live a faith that actually brings life? In Week Two of Greater Things , we confront a tension many of us feel but rarely name—the difference between a faith that sounds impressive and a faith that quietly changes the ground it touches. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching on greatness, the nickname “Sons of Thunder,” and the prophet Micah’s call to justice, mercy, and humility, this m...

What if the life you’re living isn’t wrong—but it’s not the whole story? In the opening message of our Greater Things series, Pastor Jeremy explores how God often calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose right in the middle of normal life. Drawing from Jesus’ promise in John 14:12 and the calling of Elisha in 1 Kings 19, this message looks at how God interrupts routine, invites obedience,...
