Rescue House Church

Life doesn't always make sense in the moment. The pain, the waiting, the pruning, and the storms can leave us questioning what God is doing. But what if God is accomplishing something your perspective can't yet see? In this message, we'll discover that God is working in you, walking with you, and working for you, even in life's hardest seasons. His purpose is always greater than your present persp...

In a world filled with endless noise, opinions, and distractions, Jesus offers a better way: Watch and Pray. Through Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane, we discover that true spiritual strength isn't found in reacting emotionally, it's found in surrendering completely to God. This message challenges us to stay awake, seek God's voice above the noise, and pray until His peace and purpose shape...

Your past doesn't have to determine your future. Through the story of King Josiah, we discover that even if you didn't inherit a godly legacy, you can start one. This message is a challenge to lead with courage, pursue God wholeheartedly, and build a faith that transforms generations. Revival doesn't begin with a movement, it begins with one person choosing obedience. You may not have received the...

We're all searching for rest—through vacations, distractions, busyness, or a fresh start. But the kind of weariness we carry in our souls can't be fixed by a nap or a gateway. In this message, we discover that biblical rest isn't about doing less, it's about trusting more. Through the stories of Noah, Israel, and the finished work of Jesus, we'll learn that true Sabbath is a heart at peace because...

When Mary stood at the empty tomb, she thought Jesus was gone. But the resurrection revealed a powerful truth: Jesus remains.

What if serving others is one of the clearest ways we reveal Jesus to the world? In this message, Pastor Matt reminds us that faith was never meant to stay passive. Jesus didn’t come to be served — He came to serve — and He calls us to do the same. Through scripture and practical encouragement, this message challenges us to move beyond belief alone and live out a faith that actively loves, serves,...

Our Discipleship Pastor, Derick Forbes, shared a powerful message on how Jesus restores. Through a moving story, we’re reminded that no matter our past or how others see us, Jesus meets us with grace, forgiveness, and a chance to be made new. Your story isn’t over—Jesus restores.

In this message, we’re reminded that Jesus calls people from every walk of life—right where they are. His invitation isn’t based on our past or our qualifications, but on His grace. Through Ephesians 1:16-18 and Matthew 16:24, we see that following Jesus means pursuing a real relationship with Him, denying ourselves, and living on mission with purpose and passion. No matter your story, the invitat...

What if your past didn’t have to define your future? In today’s message, Pastor Matt shares the truth about the forgiveness of Jesus—what it really means, why we need it, and how it has the power to change everything. No matter where you’ve been or what you’re carrying, there is grace available and freedom found in Him. You are not too far gone. You are not disqualified. Jesus still forgives.

Pastor Matt shares a powerful message, “Jesus Reigns,” reminding us that no matter what we face, Jesus is still in control. When life feels uncertain, this message will help reset your perspective and anchor your faith in the truth that He is holding all things together.

Pastor Matt brings a message on Self-Control as we continue our Fruit of the Spirit series. The greatest battles we face aren’t around us—they’re within us. Self-control isn’t about restriction, it’s about freedom… freedom to become who God created you to be. Through Scripture, we see that self-control is a mark of spiritual maturity, begins in the mind, and requires daily dependence on the Holy S...

In a world that often confuses gentleness with weakness, we discover that biblical gentleness is actually strength under control and power under submission. Jesus modeled this perfectly, showing us what it looks like to live with both discipline and discipleship. In this message, we explore 3 practical ways to grow in gentleness: • Release your rights • Reshape your words • Remember God’s mercy Th...

In week six of our Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Brent explores the difference between having faith and living a life of faithfulness. True faithfulness grows out of a relationship with Jesus and is revealed through consistent obedience, loyalty to God, and faithfulness in the small moments of everyday life. Be encouraged to remain steady, dependable, and faithful as you follow Christ — trust...

Our Women’s Director, Megan Wright, continues our Fruit of the Spirit series by teaching on kindness and goodnessfrom Galatians 5. These qualities aren’t something we produce on our own—they are the result of a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Biblical kindness goes beyond simply being nice; it reflects God’s mercy and truth. And goodness is not defined by us, but by the perfect goodness of Go...

Patience isn’t passive — it’s powerful. In this message from our Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Matt shares how patience is the pathway to maturity. Through Scripture, we’re reminded to trust God in the waiting, endure through trials, and choose forgiveness even when it’s hard. The waiting isn’t wasted. God is working.

In week three of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we talked about Peace — the kind the world can’t give and circumstances can’t take away. Biblical peace (Shalom) isn’t the absence of conflict; it’s wholeness found in the presence of Jesus. We explored the difference between peace with God, the peace of God within us, and peace with others — and how real, lasting peace begins by coming to Him. If y...

In this message, Pastor Matt explores the difference between happiness and true, lasting joy. While happiness depends on circumstances, joy is rooted in Jesus and produced by the Holy Spirit. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, this teaching will remind you where real strength and joy are found.

This message focuses on the foundation of it all—love. Drawing from Galatians 5, Jesus’ words in John, and Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians, we’re reminded that spiritual fruit isn’t something we strive to produce, but something that grows naturally when we remain in Christ. This sermon invites us to understand the depth of God’s love for us, receive that love fully, and choose to let it shape how...

In a culture obsessed with more, Jesus invites us into a different way of living—a slower rhythm, a pace of grace, and a life rooted in contentment. This message explores how the pursuit of more fuels hurry and how simplicity and generosity help create margin to experience true rest and joy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or longing for a simpler, more meaningful life, this message is for you.

In Week 3 of The Elimination of Hurry, Pastor Matt teaches on the biblical gift of Sabbath and why it still matters today. This message invites us to slow down, trust God, and rediscover His design for rest in a hurried world.

We continue our series The Elimination of Hurry with a message on silence and solitude. Pastor Matt reminds us that hurry and constant noise keep us from being present with God and our own souls. Looking at the life of Jesus, we see that the quiet place was essential for strength, clarity, and intimacy with the Father. This message invites us to slow down, create space, and listen for God’s gentle...

In week one of The Elimination of Hurry, we were reminded that following Jesus means more than identifying as a Christian—it means being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and living as He lived. Drawing from Dallas Willard, we defined hurry as excessive busyness paired with urgency and learned that it is not the pace of Jesus, is incompatible with love, and is harmful to our souls. Jesus invites us i...

In this message from our Christmas series “He Shall Be Called,” Pastor Derick Forbes shares how Jesus is the Prince of Peace. In a world full of noise and uncertainty, true peace isn’t found in our circumstances—it’s found in Jesus. Through Isaiah 9:6, we’re reminded that His peace is available to us here and now. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or searching for rest, this message is for you. Go be...
