Real Life Young Adults

During our YA Worship Night, we heard three powerful messages from three of our RLYA leaders — part of what Pastor Blake calls “The Home Team.” Each leader shared encouragement and insight about faith, community, and pursuing Jesus together, reminding us what it means to be a united family rooted in God’s presence.

In this episode “Garden Sounds” Pastor Blake explains that just as Eve listened to the serpent in Genesis 3, the enemy still seeks our ear today. If we allow the “beast of the field” into our garden, it brings disorder, eats away at what God has planted for us, and lures us into half-truths and chaos. But through Christ’s redemption, anyone can be restored. Jesus went before us, overcoming temptat...

In this episode “Options to Idols and Idols to Idlers” Pastor Blake teaches that while life offers countless options, too many choices can create confusion and become idols when they distract us from God’s direction (1 Kings 18:21; 1 Corinthians 14:33). On the other side, idols can lead to idleness when we misuse waiting on the Lord as an excuse to do nothing. Scripture warns that idleness brings...

In this episode of Just Tilling, we look at Genesis 2:15 and explore what it means to treat our lives like a garden. From Eden to the Tabernacle, the Temple, Christ, and now the Church, the story of Scripture shows how God has always desired to dwell with His people. Today, His presence lives in us—we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

In this message “What Is Your Calling” we learn that every believer has been set apart and called by God, not because of feelings or personal ability, but through Christ alone. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians reminds us that sanctification is a lifelong process—we are justified, then continually transformed by the Spirit as we draw closer to Christ. Our identity is rooted in God’s Word, not in ti...

In this sermon “Making Middle Memories” Pastor Blake teaches from Mark 4:35–5:1 about the promise and purpose of the “middle” seasons of life. Jesus’ words, “Let us go to the other side”, are a guarantee—not a suggestion. If He says it, you can trust you’ll get there. But the middle—the storms, the delays, the unexpected struggles—is where faith is built. Smooth waters may get you to the top, but...

In this message titled "Driving Appetites” based on 2 Samuel 11 & 12 we're reminded of how important it is to: submit to God’s perfect positioning, delight and trust in His timing, surrender our fleshly desires, acquire godly accountability, understand that His portion is enough, and cancel out the noise of deceptive voices controlling our focus that are keeping us from accepting His forgiveness. 

In this message titled “Woe Is Me,” based on Isaiah 6:5 and Psalm 139:23-24, we’re reminded how the people of chaos love to remove God from their lives — only to turn around and blame Him when life falls apart. This mindset doesn’t just affect our relationship with God but spills over into how we treat people. Without God, we begin to adopt the toxic tendencies the enemy wants for us.

In this sermon “Let Us Start Rebuilding” by Pastor Blake, we look at the story of Nehemiah, a trusted cupbearer who had a deep burden to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem. His heart for restoration teaches us three key questions when walking in vision.

In this episode of The Right Well, we dive into Isaiah 12:3 — “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Pastor Blake shares a vision God gave him in Miami, reminding us that though the process isn’t always fun, it is filled with purpose. Like the woman at the well in John 4, we all thirst for something deeper. But it’s not just water we’re drawing — it’s joy. And with that joy, w...

In this sermon “Soften Your Heart” by Pastor Blake, we explore how a soft heart makes room for deep transformation. Drawing from Ezekiel 36:26, the message highlights how God desires to remove our hearts of stone and give us open, humble, and soft hearts that are ready for His Spirit. A soft heart leads to love, repentance, and a life on mission to invite others into God’s family.

In this week’s message, Dwell Work for My Well Work (Part 3 of the Chaos mini-series), Pastor Blake explores how dwelling in God’s presence is not passive — it’s powerful. In a world where chaos continues to sell and distract, we are reminded that our true well-being is connected to where and how we dwell.

In this week’s message, Part 2 of a mini series Pastor Blake revisits the returning theme of chaos introduced a few weeks ago. He dives deeper into how the world thrives on noise, confusion, and distraction — because chaos sells. But as followers of Christ, we are called to live differently. Note: Audio was corrupted from 9:31–22:10, but the message was too powerful to lose — so we included backup...

In a world full of noise, confusion, and shifting values, we’re reminded of this truth: God’s Word doesn’t change — it calls us higher. In this message part 1 of the mini series "chaos", we dive into Genesis 1:2, Genesis 3:15, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 to uncover how God brings peace to chaos and purpose to pain. Every promise in Scripture still breathes life and direction today. We aren’t called to b...

In this weeks sermon by Pastor Blake we explore the difference between living for people and living for their approval. Through the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and the example of Jesus, we’re reminded that pride leads to a fall, but humility leads to impact. We’re not called to please people—we’re called to love and serve them.

In this sermon, Pastor Blake Turner explores what it means to truly abide in Jesus, using the image of a mosaic to illustrate how our lives are made up of moments that should reflect Christ. Drawing from John 15, he emphasizes staying connected to Jesus like branches to a vine, allowing God to prune us for greater closeness and fruitfulness. The message reminds listeners that through every season—...

In this week’s sermon "Work and Walk", Pastor Blake Turner dives into abiding in Jesus through our daily lives. He highlights how biblical figures had “slow down” seasons that prepared them for purpose. We’re reminded that abiding in Christ means staying connected to Him in everything—studying, working, or resting. Like Psalm 23 says, we walk through the valley, not run, because we trust the One w...

In this weeks sermon" The Heart of God", we reflect on the extraordinary heart of Jesus—His humility, His compassion, and His sacrificial love. From Philippians 2:6-8, we see that although Jesus was fully God, He didn’t cling to His divine rights but humbled Himself—even to death on a cross. We journey through Hebrews 4:15-16, where we’re reminded that Jesus, though without sin, understands our we...

In this Weeks sermon titled "The Main Thing", Pastor Blake dive's into the heart of staying centered on Jesus above all else. Drawing from scriptures like Mark 2, Revelation 19, and 1 Corinthians 2, we explore themes of the Bridegroom, God's presence, fasting, and remembering our "why" in faith. It’s a powerful reminder that Jesus' presence is more important than anything.
