In this message from Luke 22:39–46, we look at Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and learn what true surrender sounds like. Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but yours be done.” This is one of the hardest prayers any follower of Christ can pray. It is easy to trust God when His will matches ours, but surrender begins when His will leads us somewhere we would not choose on our own. This sermon ex...

Have you ever wondered if God is listening when your prayers seem to go unanswered? In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Persistent Widow to remind His followers to always pray and never give up. This message explores what persistent prayer really means—and why God's delays should never be mistaken for His absence. In this sermon you'll discover: • Why persistent prayer isn't about convi...

What did Jesus really mean when He taught His disciples to pray? In Luke 11:1-4, the disciples asked a simple but powerful question: "Lord, teach us to pray." In this message, we discover that prayer is far more than asking God for things. Prayer aligns our hearts with God's will, deepens our dependence on Him, and leads us into greater surrender. In this sermon you'll learn: • Why many Christians...

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and become more, God's invitation is surprisingly different. In this message from our Upside Down Kingdom series, we explore Psalm 34, Psalm 116, and 1 Thessalonians 4 to discover the beauty of a quiet life. A life rooted in gratitude, contentment, rest, and confidence in Christ. You'll learn: • Why gratitude is not based on circumstanc...

What happens when it feels like everyone else is winning while you're struggling to stay faithful? In this message from Psalm 73, we explore one of the greatest enemies of gratitude: comparison. Asaph looked around and saw the wicked prospering while he remained faithful to God. Like many of us, he began questioning whether obedience was really worth it. But everything changed when he entered God'...

What gets loudest in your storm? In this message from our Upside Down Kingdom series, we explore Psalms 13 and 42 and discover that biblical praise is not pretending everything is okay. Real praise tells the truth about pain while refusing to abandon the truth about God. When life gets difficult, we all face a choice. Will fear, anxiety, disappointment, and offense become the thunder in our storm?...

This week we launch our new series Upside Down Kingdom: Finding Gratitude in the Psalms. Psalm 103 reminds us that gratitude is deeper than emotions and bigger than circumstances. When storms come—and they will—we have a choice: Fear or faith. Anxiety or worship. Forgetfulness or remembrance. The Kingdom of God produces people who choose gratitude before circumstances change. In this message we ex...

In this final message of the “Holy Revealed” series through Isaiah, we look at what happens when a holy God truly changes a person. Isaiah’s encounter with God didn’t end with conviction or cleansing — it ended with surrender. “Here I am, Lord. Send me.” This message challenges us to stop living casually before God and step into full surrender, obedience, and dependence on Him. In this message: Ho...

What does it really mean to fear the Lord? In this message from our Holy Revealed series, Scott Schaefer teaches from Isaiah 8 and challenges us to recover a holy reverence for God. The fear of the Lord is not about running from God. It is about seeing His holiness clearly and responding with worship, trust, obedience, and surrender. In a world filled with fear, confusion, noise, and distractions,...

God does not expose you to abandon you. He exposes what He wants to restore. In this message from Isaiah 6:6–7, we look at the moment when the burning coal touches Isaiah’s lips. Isaiah had confessed his uncleanness before a holy God, but God did not leave him undone. God moved toward him, cleansed him, and removed what Isaiah could never remove on his own. Holiness burns before it heals. But the...

What happens when seeing God ruins your ability to pretend? In Isaiah 6, Isaiah stands before the holiness of God and his first response is not comparison, excuses, or self-improvement. His response is confession: “Woe is me, for I am ruined.” This message from our Holy Revealed series reminds us that the presence of God exposes what we often try to hide. We can pretend in front of people, minimiz...

What happens when you don’t just talk about God, but actually encounter Him? In Week 1 of our new series, Holy Revealed, we walk through Isaiah 6:1–4 and see a powerful truth: God is not like us. He is holy, unmatched, and worthy of awe. In this message, we look at how God shakes what we rely on, corrects our understanding, and reveals His glory in a way that changes everything. This is more than...

In this message, we close out our Return to Me series in Joel with a powerful reminder: the resurrection didn’t just fix what was broken, it changed everything. Walking through Joel 3:17–21, this sermon shows us that God’s goal was never just to repair ruined things. His desire has always been to dwell with His people again. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, a way was made for true nearnes...

In this message, we continue our “Return to Me” series through the book of Joel and look at Joel 2:28–32, “The Promise of the Spirit.” God’s promise was never just restored circumstances. His promise was His Spirit poured out on His people. In this message, we see that when God pours out His Spirit, He awakens every generation, calls people to return, and invites us not just to feel something, but...

This message is a powerful call to repentance, surrender, and spiritual recalibration. Too often we ask God to bless our plans instead of surrendering to His. In this sermon, we walk through what real repentance looks like, why grief over sin matters, and how Psalm 51 shows us the heart God responds to. In this message: Why repentance is still essential The 5 stages of true repentance What Psalm 5...

In this message from Joel 2:18–27, we see a turning point in the book of Joel: when God’s people return to Him, He responds with compassion and restoration. This sermon explores how God restores what was lost, redeems wasted seasons, and shapes who we are becoming through every trial. God is not only interested in fixing circumstances. He is forming identity, restoring worship, renewing joy, and r...

In Joel 2:12–14, God calls His people to return—not with outward performance, but with inward surrender: “Tear your hearts, not just your clothes.” This message is the turning point of the “Return to Me” series—where God’s mercy meets our repentance. You’ll hear why behavior modification can’t replace heart transformation, why it’s not too late (“even now”), and what it looks like to choose obedie...

In this final episode of our Going Deeper mini-season, Nate sits down with Jacob Cain to reflect on what really changed through the Practicing the Way discipleship class. They talk about: The discomfort of confession Why Sabbath was harder than expected How comparison quietly shapes our spiritual life The difference between doing the way and practicing the way This conversation is honest, practica...

In today’s message, Scott walks through Joel 2:1–11 and gives a clear, practical picture of what repentance really is—not just turning away, but grieving sin, turning to God, and moving forward without looking back. You’ll also hear a simple framework he calls the “Five C’s”: conviction, confession, contrition, cleansing, and consecration—so repentance doesn’t stay vague, it becomes actionable. If...

In this episode of Going Deeper, Nate sits down with Wendy to talk about her experience walking through the Practicing the Way discipleship class. Wendy shares honestly about her spiritual upbringing, her desire to grow closer to God, and the practices that challenged her most — from learning to be still, to embracing Sabbath, to building a daily rhythm with Scripture. What stands out most is how...

In Joel 1:13–20, we see a hard but hopeful truth: grief is the right response when we finally recognize what sin has damaged in our lives, our homes, and our church. This message walks through five realities from the passage: grief begins with leadership, grief is meant to be public (not hidden), grief recognizes the Day of the Lord, grief refuses to minimize the loss, and true grief always ends i...

In this episode of Going Deeper, Nate sits down with Gerard Woods to talk about the real impact of the recent discipleship class at Passion Church. Gerard shares honestly about the ups and downs of his walk with God, how vulnerability in community helped him grow, and the practices that reshaped his daily life — from prayer and Sabbath to simply being more aware of how Christ can work through ever...

We’re starting a new series through the book of Joel called Return to Me—a series about repentance and restoration, not light and fluffy faith. Joel opens in a moment of national crisis: wave after wave of loss. But this isn’t just a disaster story—it’s a spiritual wake-up call. God uses disruption to expose what’s broken, not to punish His people, but to bring them back with wholehearted repentan...
