Jesus lived perfectly to qualify to be the acceptable offering for the sin of the whole world. Forgiveness and redemption are only available through faith in His blood. Enjoy today’s message as we root you deeper in the Gospel!

Proverbs 16:3 tells us to “commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” In this message, discover how committing your works isn’t complicated—it’s rolling your plans onto God, trusting Him with the outcomes, and walking daily in His life and purposes. When you seek His kingdom, abide in Christ, and yield your steps to Him, your calling becomes clear and your path firm. Th...

Scripture tells us to apply your heart to instruction. We’re asking “what," but God is trying to tell us “how.” The what starts with you. It’s time to make a decision of how you’ll pursue His calling on your life, and He’ll give you the steps. You think you’re waiting on God, but He’s waiting on you. Let us help you move forward today!

You might think you’re waiting on God, but God is waiting on you. He has given you his spirit and has given you the mind of Christ, you can use it to make a decision and move forward. Today we’ll ask a few questions that will help you have a vision for your life and step into a meaningful life, full or purpose.

If you lack a clear life vision, you’re vulnerable to confusion and control. Without clarity, you’ll keep seeking something outside yourself to define you. The vision you embrace should be the outward expression of who you want to be and the values you live by. It’s time to pick a path, quit waiting for the nebulous “move of God” and waiting for someone to tell you what to do, make a decision, and...

Faith in the Blood - Nate Tanner by Forward Church Sermons

Lasting change begins in the heart, where your deepest beliefs—especially about your identity—are formed. True repentance is a continual turning from your own logic to God’s truth, allowing His Word to work at the identity level and reshape how you see yourself. Your only real work is to believe what God says about you and rest in that truth, because that’s where transformation happens.

The kingdom of God is in every believer. All of God’s promises and provision are available, they’re one belief away. Today we will discuss the parable of the sower and how our hearts determine the fruitfulness of the word of the kingdom and how we can persuade our heart to be more receptive.

Bible reading is a foundational pillar of being a Jesus follower. But the magic of transformation happens when you let the Bible read you. The Word of God is alive, it’s a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, which is where your beliefs are written. Reflecting in the Word of God will reveal to you what you truly believe. Once you see your beliefs, you can allow yourself to put off l...

Independence Day - Mike Crane by Forward Church Sermons

Grace is power, it’s God’s divine influence on your heart to strengthen you and teach you. Grace works in a believing heart. So how do you believe from the heart? You allow peace to guard your heart. How do you do that? You become rated and grounded in God’s love for you and Christ’s finished work. Here’s how.

If you are in Christ, you can live guilt free, under the power of GRACE! Join us today as we unpack this powerful GOSPEL truth. Here's a sneak peak: Grace is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.

Happy Father’s Day!! Young men are looking for a life philosophy and a structure that can build their life on. Today we’ll discuss how men are built to lead and build with kingdom purpose.

People misunderstand grace. Grace is God’s power working in you. Because of grace, we are dead to sin and alive to Christ and we live above the lure of sin. Join us today as we discuss how grace is power, and not a license to sin.

Isaiah 10:27 was fulfilled when God broke the Assyrian yoke off Judah not by human effort but by His power—one angel destroyed 185,000 soldiers in a single night. In the same way today, every burden and yoke is destroyed not by striving, but by the anointing of Christ that abides in you. Join us today as we discuss how to pray with your spirit to position yourself to be strengthened in your inner...

Youth and Young Adult Pastor, Lyle Camp, brings a funny and insightful word on shifting your perspective to see what God already has in place in our lives.

If you are born again, God has placed His Spirit in you and you have become as one with Him as Jesus is. And…you have been anointed by Jesus, who baptizes us with the Holy Spirit. This is not a one time event, it is a lifestyle. Jesus works with us, continually empowering us for fruits and gifts.

This Mother’s Day, we’ll explore the heart of motherhood through the lens of John 17, where Jesus said, “For their sakes I sanctify Myself.” In moments of fear, frustration, or uncertainty, God invites us to parent from a place of peace, faith, and purpose—seeing our children through their identity in Christ and speaking life into their future. Be encouraged and equipped to walk in your calling wi...

What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? As believers, we are complete in Christ—fully in-dwelt by His Spirit and lacking nothing in our new nature. The anointing we have received from Him abides in us permanently, not waiting to “fall” but always present to empower, guide, and transform. We don’t wait for the Spirit to come—we lay hold of what we've already been given, taking hold of His indwellin...

James teaches us that temptation comes from within. We’re only tempted with the things that we desire. There is a godly way to fulfill every desire, but through brokenness, perversion and confusion we choose to fulfill our natural desires in ways that do not honor God’s natural order, which is sin. But sin is no longer our master for we are dead to sin in Christ. Join us today as we discuss how to...

Jesus was delivered up to die for our sins, and He rose from the dead the third day, securing our justification and eternal redemption. You are now forgiven, redeemed, justified, and made righteous because of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Keep your faith in him and rest in His finished work!

As we celebrate Palm Sunday and remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we also reflect on the deeper purpose of His coming. He became fully human, entering our world in humility, so He could represent us, carry our sin, and face the cross on our behalf. Through His obedience and sacrifice, He made a way for us to become like Him—righteous, restored, and transformed into His image. Palm Su...

Jesus gave us a model to pray, and it all starts with relationship. What we prayed from acceptance rather than for acceptance. What if we prayed from abundance rather than lack? What if prayer were more about aligning our thoughts, emotions, and mental pictures with God’s will revealed in Jesus rather than about our needs and worries? Join us today as we look at the Lord’s prayer.

Prayer is not begging from a distant God—it's confident communion with a Father who has already given us all things in Christ. In this message, we’ll explore how to ask in faith—not from fear or lack, but from a heart persuaded by God’s promises and rooted in His nature. Discover how to align your thoughts, emotions, and expectations with the finished work of Jesus so your prayers reflect trust, n...
