In this Pastor’s Choice message, “Yes Changes Everything,” Pastor Kelly Kinder walks through John 2:1–12 and Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana. When the wine runs out and embarrassment begins to fill the room, Mary gives the servants a simple command that still speaks powerfully to every follower of Jesus: “Do whatever he tells you.” What happens next is more than a miracle of water beco...

In this Pastor’s Choice message, “What God Wants from Us,” Pastor Tyler Lynde walks through Micah 6:6–8 and asks a question that reaches beneath religious activity into the condition of the heart. What can we possibly bring before the Lord to make things right? More sacrifices? Greater effort? Bigger outward displays of devotion? Micah’s words expose the temptation to use “religious stuff” as a su...

Your life has a real fight in it, and one of the greatest dangers is misunderstanding what you’re actually up against. In this session, we explore Ephesians 6:11–12 and take Paul’s words seriously: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” This is not a suggestion, a spiritual accessory, or something reserved for especially difficult seasons....

As part of the Pastor’s Choice series, Pastor Scott Wiens shares “Lessons from Jessica,” a deeply personal message about his daughter Jessica, her autism diagnosis, and the ways God has used her life to shape his family’s faith, character, and understanding of His sovereignty. Scott begins with the frightening circumstances surrounding Jessica’s birth in 1994, when a medical emergency led to an am...

If you’ve ever felt pressure to appear strong while carrying grief, uncertainty, disappointment, or exhaustion beneath the surface, this session offers a biblical perspective on where true strength is found. Speaker Ebenezer Asiamah explores Ephesians 6:10, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might,” challenging common assumptions about strength and inviting us to see it through the len...

In this Pastors Choice message, Pastor Tyler Lynde takes on one of the most misunderstood and debated gifts of the Holy Spirit: speaking in tongues. Rather than letting fear, hype, mockery, or past church experiences shape the conversation, Tyler turns to 1 Corinthians 14 and lets Scripture set the tone. Paul’s teaching gives a balanced framework: personal tongues is prayer to God that builds up t...

Mark Medley closes our eight‑month walk through Ephesians in the In Christ series with a message many know by name but often miss in practice: the armor of God. Walking slowly through Ephesians 6:10–20, Mark shows that Paul is not calling us to hype ourselves up, but to stand firm in the strength of the Lord and in a victory Jesus has already secured. The struggle is real, but it is not against fl...

Life does not always follow a straight line. Returning from sabbatical, Kelly Kinder begins Struggles in the In Christ series with a simple image from his three-year-old granddaughter—a single squiggly line—and names what many feel: ordinary days can quickly become complicated. From there, he opens Ephesians 6:10-13 and gives a different lens for what we face. Kelly explains that Scripture calls u...

If you’ve ever hummed along to 9 to 5 or Take This Job and Shove It and felt that knot in your stomach about Monday, Scott Wiens offers a different chorus. In this message from the In Christ series, Scott walks into Ephesians 6:5-9 with both honesty and hope, asking what it really means to work “as unto the Lord” when your boss is unfair, your efforts go unnoticed, or your attitude is fraying at t...

Parenting advice can sound brilliant—right up until 7:00am on a school day. In Purposeful Parenting, part of the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians 6:1–4 and shows how the Spirit-filled life shapes ordinary family moments. Flowing from identity to purpose, he calls parents and kids alike to live under Christ’s loving authority so that the home becomes a place where God’s ways feel norma...

Pastors Tyler and Amy Lynde continue the In Christ series by slowing down in Ephesians 5 and refusing to turn a beautiful text into a battleground. Tyler frames the whole passage as it was meant to be heard: first as a stunning picture of Christ and His church, then as practical instruction for husbands and wives. If we miss the gospel, we miss the point. Jesus loves His bride, gave Himself up for...

In this message from the In Christ series, Neil Silverberg opens Ephesians 5:15–21 and asks a timely question: how do you live wisely in a foolish age? He begins where Ephesians itself begins—our identity in Christ. Before any practical exhortation lands, Neil roots wise living in the gospel logic of justification by faith alone. Drawing on Ephesians 2:8–10 and the story of Martin Luther’s awakeni...

One small compromise rarely feels dangerous—and that’s exactly the danger. In Desensitized to Darkness, part of the In Christ series, Derrick Overholt opens Ephesians 5:11–14 and calls us to wake up: “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness… Awake, O sleeper… and Christ will shine on you.” He roots the whole message in identity before obedience. Ephesians has already told us who we are—so...

In this message from the In Christ series, Scott Wiens opens Ephesians 5:3–10 to draw a clear line between darkness and light. He addresses the way darkness often disguises itself as “it’s not that big a deal,” “everyone does it,” or “that verse doesn’t apply anymore,” and he invites you to see how the gospel reshapes what we desire, how we speak, and how we live. Scott grounds the text in its ori...

Hope collapses fast when it’s built on what can change. Money shrinks, plans unravel, people disappoint, and emotions swing. In A Living Hope, Tyler Lynde opens 1 Peter 1:3–9 to name a different kind of confidence: a living hope rooted in the Father’s mercy and anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is not vague optimism or denial; it is a confident expectation based on God’s promises,...

In this message from the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians 5:1–2 and invites us to hear the call to imitate God “as beloved children” and to “walk in love” the way Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. Tyler frames Christian living not as behavior modification but as family resemblance. When we know whose we are, what we do begins to change. That identity shift makes sense of the...

Your life speaks with a kingdom accent. In Put Off, Put On from the In Christ series, Mark Medley opens Ephesians 4:25–32 and gets specific about how a new life in Jesus shows up in ordinary choices—truth-telling, anger, work, words, and forgiveness. But he refuses to treat Paul’s commands like a cold checklist. Grace comes first. Before a single “do this,” God has made us alive, adopted us, forgi...

Continuing In Christ, Derrick Overholt opens Ephesians 4:17–24 with a striking picture: the story of Hetty Green, a woman of immense wealth who chose to live like she had nothing. It becomes a mirror for the soul—why live like you’re spiritually poor when Christ has given you everything? New Clothes calls us to stop dragging yesterday’s mindset into today’s faith and to walk out of what Paul calls...

In “Why Prayer And Fasting,” Pastors Tyler Lynde and Ebenezer Asiamah go straight to Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 to answer a question many of us feel but rarely voice: why build prayer and fasting into everyday life? Tyler begins with the purpose behind it all—God created us for fellowship, not mere belief—and names one of our deepest challenges: distraction. A calendar can be full and a soul still...

One day you'll stand before Jesus and give an account of what you did with what He gave you. The question isn't whether that day is coming — it's whether you'll be ready for it. In this final session of the Foundations class, Pastor Mark Medley brings the series to a practical and personal close by talking about stewardship — the understanding that because we've been bough...

Here's a truth that can be hard to accept: you cannot live the Christian life alone. Faith in Christ is personal, but it was never meant to be private. In this session, Pastor Kelly Kinder explains why fellowship with other believers isn't optional — it's essential to how God designed the Christian life to work. The faith that connects us to Christ also connects us to one another, a...

Why does the church baptize people? And what's really happening when we take the bread and the cup together? These aren't just religious traditions — they're practices that Jesus Himself commanded and established for the life of His church. In this session, Pastor Kelly Kinder walks through the meaning and significance of two foundational practices in the Christian faith: water bapt...

If Jesus saved you from the penalty of sin, why does sin still seem to have power in your life? That's the question at the heart of this session — and the answer changed everything for Pastor Mark Medley. Drawing from his own story of coming to faith out of a life of drugs, broken relationships, and bondage, Pastor Mark shares how some chains broke immediately when he met Jesus, while others...

Prayer isn't a religious obligation — it's an invitation. An invitation to the throne of grace, into relationship with your Father, and into the very heart and mission of God. In this session, Pastor Mark Medley builds on the previous lesson about the Word of God by showing how Scripture and prayer are deeply linked. He starts with a powerful idea: to pray is to change. Real prayer reord...

The Bible isn't just another book — it's the very breath of God. But do we treat it that way? In this session, Pastor Kelly Kinder explores what makes the Bible unlike anything else ever written and why it matters for your daily life. Starting with the Bible's own claim about itself in 2 Timothy 3:16, he walks through four things Scripture is designed to do: show us the path, point...
