Sunday At The Grove

It’s easy to celebrate living in a free country while quietly serving time in a prison of our own making. From the trap of unresolved bitterness to the heavy burden of living up to other people's expectations, many of us are locked up without even realizing it. In this episode, Dr. Phillip Martin asks a hard, grounded question: what is actively stealing your freedom? We dive into the reality o...

What would you do if you found out a thief was trying to break into your home? You’d lock the doors, secure the perimeter, and take immediate action. But what do you do when the enemy is actively breaking into your spiritual life? In this message, Dr. Phillip Martin unpacks the sobering, everyday reality of spiritual warfare. We tend to brush off deep struggles as just "bad days," "...

What would you do differently if you knew the exact date and time your life would end? In this message, we introduce a new series at The Grove: Defending Your Days and Maximizing Your Life . Diving into Proverbs 29:18, Dr. Phillip Martin unpacks how a lack of vision causes individuals, marriages, and families to quietly "perish" or drift into reckless, unrestrained living. This message i...

In this sermon, Dr. Phillip Martin brings us to a temporary pause in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Revelation as we examine the breaking of the sixth seal in Revelation chapter 6. Up until this point, humanity has lived through the preliminary warning signs carried by the Four Horsemen. But when this seal is broken, human history reaches a terrifying tipping point where God's patienc...

In the message, Dr. Phillip Martin guidse us through the gripping reality of the fifth seal in Revelation chapter 6. We live in a society that has watered down the image of God into something soft and one-sided, focusing strictly on "puppies and rainbows." But what happens when we look honestly at scripture and realize that an angry, vengeful side of God is actively present in both the O...

Is there actual evidence for the existence of God? And if so, how do we know the Gospel is true? In this message, Dr. Gary Alley tackles the biggest questions of faith by looking directly at the evidence. We explore the historical weight of the Apostle Paul's radical conversion on the road to Damascus, and how the intricate details of creation and molecular biology point directly to God's...

What happens to the earth when the Antichrist's false peace is abruptly removed? In this message, Dr. Phillip Martin walks us through the catastrophic events of Revelation Chapter 6 as the Lamb breaks the next sequence of seals on the heavenly scroll. This deep dive into eschatology covers the devastating arrival of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Listen in to understand the geopolitical...

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you aren't good enough? In this message, Pastor Tyler Brown tackles the insecurity that plagues so many of us, pointing directly to the truth found in Ephesians 2. This message strips away the world's standard of self-help and comparison, reminding believers that while we are inherently broken without Christ, we are made entirely sufficient through Hi...

In this message, Dr. Phillip Martin walks through Revelation 4 verse by verse and takes the throne room of God completely apart. You'll hear: What the Jasper stone (clear as diamond) and the Sardius stone (blood red as a Ruby) reveal about who God is — his brilliance and his coming wrath Why those two stones were the first and last on the high priest's breastplate, representing Reuben (&qu...

What do you do when life won't stop beating you down? Dr. Phillip Martin walks through three powerful pieces of Scripture to show why the single greatest thought you can have in the middle of pain is the thought of heaven. Paul was lowered out of a building in a basket to escape people trying to kill him — and right after that, he wrote about being caught up to the third heaven, seeing inexpre...

Every human being is searching for peace — in relationships, in vacations, in achievements, in escapes. But most of us never stop to ask why. In this Easter Sunday message, "Back to Eden," Dr. Phillip Martin answers that question by taking listeners from the very first garden in Genesis to the New Garden in Revelation 22, with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the turning point between...

Most of us say we believe in the resurrection — but does the way we actually live our lives show it? In this message from 1 Corinthians 15, Dr. Gary Alley walks through the ancient Christian Creed embedded in Paul's letter to the Corinthians and presents compelling historical evidence that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a myth — it is the most well-supported event in ancient history,...

Biblical manhood is under pressure—from pride, from isolation, and from desires that feel too strong to control. In “The Man Who Stands – Part 2,” Dr. Phillip Martin continues the  Becoming the Man He’s Never Seen  series in Psalm 15 and unpacks three men we’ve all seen (and often have become): the prideful “I’m the man” man, the isolated “man with no name,” and the man who “had to have it” and lo...

What kind of parent are you really raising your children to become?

Dr. Phillip Martin walks through 8 types of dads (from the Devoted Dad to the Ancho...

Outside of salvation, the greatest step of faith you'll ever make is who you marry. So why do so many marriages end up in survival mode instead of thriving? In this message from the Becoming the Man He's Never Seen series, Pastor Philip gets brutally honest about the state of marriage — the different types of husbands and wives, why 80% of marriages are quietly struggling, and what God act...

A new sermon series on biblical manhood starts here.

Discouragement is more dangerous than most people realize—because it rarely stops at discouragement. In this Sunday message, we finish the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year (or Waste Your Life)” with a powerful final point: when discouragement lingers, it can turn into disheartenment , then drift into indifference , until a person becomes emotionally and spiritually cold. Using John 16:33 ,...

In this message from John 16:33, we confront one of the most common ways believers waste their year and their life: living in discouragement. Jesus never promised a trouble free life. He promised peace in the middle of pressure. This sermon explores how fear, stress, failure, and outside voices drain courage and quietly keep believers on the sidelines. It also reveals why discouragement is not jus...

In this Sunday message, we continue the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” with a full walk through Romans 12 .

Are you praying generally or specifically? In this message, Pastor Tyler explores the "one-page" book of Philemon and a specific prayer that has the power to transform our families and our church. It is easy to stay within the safety of church walls, but the Great Commission calls us to go where the mess is. This teaching breaks down why "comfort" is a dangerous place for a bel...
