Prayer is about so much more than a transaction. Yes, asking is important, but prayer is more about abiding than asking. Frequently, prayer is full of disappointment and delays because we ask before we abide.  James 4:3 says, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly (with wrong motives), to spend it on your passions.” If one can ask wrongly, how does one ask rightly? Again, it goes bac...

This message is about three secrets disciplines: Giving, Praying, and Fasting. This immediately presents an obvious question: Why aren’t most of us good at things we’re supposed to do privately?  Are you good at giving? If yes, why? If no, why not? Are you good at praying? If yes, why? If no, why not? Are you good at fasting? If yes, why? If no, why not? This message is about embracing your privat...

This message presents different types of fasts, the purpose of the fast, and prayer priorities of the fast. One rarely has a great fasting experience without great preparation. It’s important for our fast to embrace the replacement principles. Ultimately, we replace fasting physical food with feasting on spiritual food.  Listen to this message to prepare well and focus on the following prayer prio...

When we listen to God, our prayer life elevates beyond our battles to His battles. What does it look like for us to win battles in prayer?  We must go from wounded people to wounded healers. In a fallen and broken world, wounds are a way of life. We validate the pains of the past, but we don’t have to get stuck in the past.  Are you a person of forgiveness or unforgiveness? Unforgiveness always li...

Today’s message comes from one of the most beautiful pictures of restoration in all of scripture. Since we live in a fallen and broken world, it is accurate to say that adversity is more normal than abnormal. Therefore, this message should apply to all of us to one degree or another. In John 21:1-19, Peter’s mind is spiraling; therefore, he decides to go fishing to distract himself and perhaps reg...

Today’s message is one of the most important messages that’s been taught in almost five years of One City’s life. The goal of this message is to provide the context for God’s vision and call the people of One City up to fulfill it. Since every vision is a solution to a problem; it is important for us that movements of God aren’t started and sustained by safe leaders and followers. This message is...

As we come to our sixth week of exploring Dynamic Faith: The Power of the Mustard Seed, we come face to face with a passage that can give great hope or great frustration. As Pastor Karin breaks down the myths surrounding Matthew 7:7-11, we discover that Jesus’s promises associated with asking, seeking, and knocking are not for a few select people, but for everyone longing to be connected to the he...

Today we explore what Jesus meant when He said, “Let it be done according to your faith.” Was He saying that faith itself has power—or was He pointing to something deeper? Through the story of the blind men in Matthew 9 and personal reflections on suffering, healing, and spiritual transformation, we challenge the idea of “faith in faith” and re-center the conversation on faith in Jesus . If you’ve...

Dynamic Faith: The Power of the Mustard Seed is about establishing God’s definition of faith. It’s very possible that “Faith” is the most controversial topic throughout the pages of scripture. Why is that true? It’s because the biggest and boldest promises are always associated “Faith.” Since that’s true, this topic generates the strongest of feelings, both positively and negatively.  At One City...

What if faith isn’t about trying harder, but tuning in to what God is already saying? In this message, William unpacks the parable of the mustard seed to reveal that dynamic faith is a Kingdom seed meant to grow, expand, and redefine your life. Discover how to receive faith, steward it well, and become a living landmark of God’s transforming presence. Support the show

Small and powerless is the complete opposition of God’s definition of “Faith.” Today’s message begins the process of replacing misunderstanding with understanding, attending with abiding, and powerless faith with powerful faith. This message is designed to lay the foundation that we will build on over the next seven weeks. If there are incorrect interpretations of these scriptures, then there must...

Holidays are important, but they’re also tricky. Unfortunately, most people orient themselves to holidays from a factual perspective instead of feelings. The facts are important, but if the facts about Easter are true then they should also generate feelings.  It is our hope and prayer that this Easter message enables people to believe for the first time or to believe again. In many respects, Holy...

If God gave us His definition for success, would you pay attention? Everyone in the world is battling for success, yet most of us aren’t prioritizing God’s definition of success.  Guess what? For the vast majority, success is never easy. Success always comes with internal challenges and external opposition. This is especially true spiritually because there’s an enemy fighting against God’s purpose...

Down on planet earth, we miss so much of God’s perspective. In the fifth week of Courageous: You’ve Got a Lion Inside of You, we are quickly reminded that regardless of one’s past, no one is disqualified from making kingdom impact. Whether you are the leader, a teammate, or an outcast, Joshua 2 and the story of Rahab provide an incredible backdrop to remind us how our opportunities to exercise cou...
