God calls His exiled people to be a creative minority in the places where they live. What does  this look like practically? In Week 4 of our series, Exile, Pastor Jon talks about the four groups throughout Biblical and Church history that respond to cultural exile and asks the question, "How do we follow Jesus as a creative minority rather than a counterproductive or destructive one"?

Why does God allow His Church to experience resistance and disruption?  Pastor Jon dives into this question and the book of Daniel in Week 3 of our series, Exile.

What does it mean to resist culture? When Jesus-followers look and love more like Jesus, culture gets transformed; yet, when they look and love more like culture, they become disposable to culture. Listen to this message as Pastor Jon teaches about what it means to resist culture in Week 2 of our series, "Exile"! Matthew 5: 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its sal...

As members of the Kingdom of God, we find ourselves living in a worldly kingdom. In this series, we want to provide practical guidance and instruction for how to not just survive but thrive in “exile”. How does the church not become of the world while still being in the world? Tune in to Week 1 as Pastor Jon kicks off our new series, "Exile"!

When we fulfill the commitments we’ve made to God and others, we are trusted with so much more.  Listen to this week's message as Pastor Jon shares the vision of So Much More that God has for our church to bring more of heaven to Earth!

God created our souls for purposeful togetherness, and yet our broken world produces countless states of loneliness. Join us for the final week of "Why Do I Feel This Way?" as Pastor Jon approaches the topic of loneliness and how Jesus Christ redeems it!

What do we do when we are betrayed or abandoned by those who we love the most? Jesus himself faced the reality of this pain when his own disciples betrayed him to his ultimate crucifixion. Join us in Week 2 of our series, "Why Do I Feel This Way?" as Tanner Petty talks about how we can suffer like our Savior, even in betrayal.

In our new series, "Why Do I Feel This Way", we will follow the journey of different people in the Bible who walked through heartbreak and disappointment and see how their heart-cries of pain drew them closer to God and led to restoration.  Join us for Week 1 as we follow the story of Job. Through great trial and tragedy, Job’s faith and trust in God is put through the emotion of unbelie...

We all have the choice of how we will respond to our story and the life events that come our way. Join us as Special Guest, Davey Blackburn, teaches on the redemption story of Ruth.

In times of cultural descending, God always teaches faithfulness to a willing remnant and then uses them to spark a widespread renewal. Are you a part of the remnant that is willing to be used by God to spark renewal? Listen to Week 3 of our Renewal series to learn more.

Revelation 21: 4 says, "There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'". This takes us back to the theme of this series and this entire year of 2021—Renewal. Christ will renew all Creation and the global and historical Church will lead the way for ultimat...

At Waymaker. Church, 2021 is the year of Renewal. In Matthew 19:28, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."  No matter how we spin it, our culture, religion and politics are man made and sin based, which naturally leads to discon...

In this series, we are walking through the prophecy of Isaiah 9 that foretells the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace are the names that described who this coming Messiah would be to His people both then and now.   In Week 3 of Hope is Here, Pastor Jon talks about how God is our Eternal Father. When we don’t know how God approaches us...

In Week 2 of our Hope is Here series, Nathan Cantu brings the word and talks about the title “Mighty God”, which was given to the promised Messiah in Isaiah 9:6. God is the only entity that can overcome death, but the world offers plenty of distractions to keep us from realizing this truth. Listen to this weeks teaching to learn more!

This final series of the year brings us into the Christmas season. As we approach the concluding of 2020 it can be tempting to want to rush past this Christmas season and enter a new year. But what if God is calling us to pause in this season and reflect on His faithfulness this year and declare His faithfulness for the year to come? In this series, we will reflect on the character traits of Jesus...

You don't need to be a father to listen to this message. Whether you are single, married without kids, or if you have multiple children, this message is for you. Listen to the last week of our Building Us series as Pastor Jon talks about the idea of fatherhood and how every father needs to be re-envisioned of his God-given purpose to lead generational blessing through his family. 

Every Christian family should have some regular time to meet where the main purpose is spiritual growth.  Instead of letting our calendar be dictated by the reactions and demands of the culture, we must lead our families to spend time in Bible study, prayer and serving our church and community.    Ultimately, we cannot force our children to believe and follow Jesus, but we can make family time in...

God’s ideal building block for the individual and the Church is the nuclear family, a husband and wife who build up their children to be Spirit-led, Jesus-following adults in the covering of both an extended family and a spiritual family.  Throughout history, this has never been easy, but it is especially daunting in our current age. The family seems broken, toxic and directionless to so many.    ...

This past Sunday, we were able to host special guest, Davey Blackburn! In his message, Davey shares the trauma that he went through and how God carried him through his valley. His organization, Nothing is Wasted, and the heartbeat behind his message exists to help people navigate their trials, tragedies, and transitions and find purpose in their pain. 

As we conclude This Side Up, Pastor Jon tackles the topic of politics as we are currently living in a tense political climate. How should we view politics as citizens of the Kingdom of God? As followers of Jesus, what should we point political and religious topics to? Listen to this week's sermon to find out more.

In our third week of our This Side Up series, Pastor Jon Dupin talks about the controversial topic of money. Can our character be defined by how we handle earthly resources? As a matter of fact, how we handle earthly resources influences our trust in God and God's trust in us.

In Week 2 of our This Side Up series, Sofia Thomas teaches on the topic of justice and how God's version of justice is different from what our culture tells us. Without Jesus' truth and righteousness, we are susceptible to creating our own definition of truth and righteousness, so what does God say about justice?

Are you living as if the Kingdom of God is already here? What does it mean to live in the kingdom of God while still living on Earth? When Jesus started His ministry, He continually talked about the new kingdom that would be created and it was the exact opposite of what everyone had expected... Join in for Week 1 of our new series, This Side Up.

In the final week of our Seasons of the Soul series, Pastor Jon Dupin talks about what it means for our soul to be in a Spring season. "We cannot earn the abundance of Spring, for it is simply an accepted invitation."

As we continue in our Seasons of the Soul series, Pastor Jon Dupin gives a message about what it is like to live in a Winter season. Even though the Winter seasons are difficult, God promises He will never leave nor forsake us, even though winter often feels that way.
