What does it really mean to live a holy life? Is it more about avoiding sin—or about actively doing good? In this message from Titus 2 and 3, we explore how grace doesn’t just save us from something, but calls us toward something greater. Holiness is not about withdrawal or judgment, but about love in action. When grace reshapes our desires, we don’t just say “no” to sin—we say “yes” to generosity...

What if the biggest threat to holiness isn’t choosing the wrong path—but choosing the easy one? In this message from Hebrews 12, we explore how holiness is more than moral behavior—it’s a Spirit-empowered pursuit that demands endurance, intention, and surrender. From the danger of bitterness to the compromise of impulse decisions, Scripture reveals the subtle ways we drift from holiness and how to...

In a world obsessed with proving worth and chasing success, what if the reason we're exhausted isn’t just because life is hard—but because we’re trying to be someone God never asked us to be? What if we could live in acceptance? In this message from Set Apart, we explore 1 Corinthians 1 and the radical truth that God chooses what the world calls weak, foolish, and unimpressive to reveal His g...

What does it really mean to be holy? In this message from Galatians 5, we explore how the Christian life is not about rule-keeping or rule-breaking—but about walking in step with the Spirit. Paul warns against two distortions of holiness: legalism (trying to earn God’s favor) and license (abusing grace to justify sin). Both miss the point. True holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about transforma...

"God didn’t just build us to start—He built us to finish well." What if the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for is on the other side of not giving up ? In this powerful message from Week 3 of the Built For This series, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks how God strengthens us to endure, even when we feel tired, discouraged, or ready to quit. Anchored in Philippians 1:6 and Nehemiah 6 & 12 , t...

🔥 What if the real threat to our calling isn’t failure—but settling for less than what God saved us for? In Week 2 of our Built For This series, Jon Dupin dives deep into Ephesians 2:8–10 and the story of Nehemiah, reminding us that God’s grace doesn’t just save us—it sends us. Too often, we settle. We stop stepping into the hard places. We avoid what’s broken. But we were never meant to live saf...

In this powerful kickoff to our "Built For This" series, Pastor Jon Dupin explores how God uses seasons of loss, burnout, and disappointment not to break us, but to build us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1 and John 16:33, we’re reminded that renewal begins in surrender, not strength, and that the Church is built to rise, not because of our efforts, but because of Jesus’ victory. ✅ Feeling stuc...

“In a world filled with pain and chaos, how can the resurrection of Jesus still be Good News?” In this powerful Easter message, Jon Dupin unpacks 1 Corinthians 15 and shows us why the resurrection isn’t just a story from the past—it’s the foundation of our hope today. If Jesus didn’t rise, faith is empty, sin wins, and death is the end. But because He did rise, we have real hope, real power, and a...

On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Jon Dupin delivers a powerful message about the arrival of King Jesus. Not with force, but in humility, riding on a donkey. Drawing from Zechariah 9 and Luke 19, this sermon challenges us to examine what’s holding back our praise and proclamation. In a world where comfort, cynicism, and fear often keep our faith quiet, we are reminded that Jesus is worthy of public, pas...

In this message from our Good News series, we wrestle with one of the most challenging truths of the Gospel: we were never meant to provide for ourselves. Drawing from Exodus 16 and John 6 , we explore how Jesus redefines provision — not with temporary fixes or self-sufficiency, but with His own body and blood. In a culture obsessed with independence and personal strength, this message confronts t...

This Sunday morning, we had the incredible opportunity to hear Compassion International’s vision and witness the power of child sponsorship firsthand.

Be encouraged as we dive into this powerful testimony of hope, faith, and God’s provision. 🌍❤️

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Matthew 25, Jesus paints a clear picture—true faith is revealed through compassionate action. The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats challenges us to move beyond empty religion and into a life marked by love, service, and sacrifice. At Waymaker. Church, we believe faith and action go hand in hand. In this message, we unpack how Jesus identifies His true...

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul calls the church to unity, reminding believers of their identity in Christ and the power of God’s love. In this message, we explore key themes from Ephesians—salvation by grace, the church as the body of Christ, and the call to live with holiness, love, and the full armor of God. But relationships within the body of Christ aren’t always easy. We often struggle...

How can we build deep, lasting friendships that reflect the love of Jesus? In this message, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks Jesus' command to "love one another" and explores why relationships are essential for a thriving faith. Despite having the best tools for community, many believers struggle with isolation, individualism, and self-reliance. But Jesus calls us to something greater—a lif...

What does it mean to be a true friend in a Jesus-centered community? In this message, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks the biblical foundation of loving correction—a key characteristic of authentic friendship. Too often, we believe myths about relationships in the church: ❌ Following Jesus automatically makes us great at friendships. ❌ We will naturally get along with other believers. ❌ Love for one an...

Jesus did not ask for more laborers; he asked that the laborers he already had would respond well to his instruction to go out and reap the harvest. His plan went beyond just speaking beautiful words of salvation. He asked for more from those he sent out, and he asks for more from us today. Join Pastor Jon as he breaks down the American Church's mission drift, or life as lambs among wolves, a...
