Committed

What if our fear of missing out is actually causing us to miss what matters most? In this message, Brandon Harper challenges us to stop being so distracted by everything happening around us that we miss what God is doing right in front of us. Using 1 Timothy 4:12-15, Brandon calls us to watch who we're becoming-our speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity-and to refuse to waste the Word, gifts, ca...

This week at Guy's Night, we planned to continue The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence with his letters-but the conversation went in a completely difterent direction. Instead, we spent the night talking through church history, Catholicism, what it looks like to evangelize people well, and how Christians should think through difficult questions surrounding Israel. It was an honest...

This week at Guy’s Night, we began The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence by reading and discussing the book’s four conversations. We talked about Brother Lawrence’s simple but powerful pursuit of living continually aware of God’s presence —not just during prayer, worship, or church, but in the ordinary moments of everyday life. The challenge is simple: What would change if we lea...

In the final week of our Family Tree Church History Class , Pastor Jamie Wright walked us through the Protestant Reformation and the many branches of Christianity that followed . We discussed Martin Luther, the 95 Theses, Sola Scriptura , justification, and the major questions that fueled the Reformation: What is our ultimate authority? How are we justified? Who has access to God? And should ordin...

This week at Guy’s Night, Pastor Jamie Wright continued our Family Tree Church History Class by exploring the divide between Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity and the events that eventually led to the Great Schism of 1054 . We discussed the historic centers of the early Church, the growing authority of the Bishop of Rome, the Filioque controversy, and some of the similarities and di...

This week at Guy’s Night, we continued our Family Tree church history class by tracing the story of Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome . We looked at the early Church, key figures like Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Constantine, Arius, and Athanasius, and explored why the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople mattered so much. We also unpacked words like catholic, bishop, presbyter, deacon, creed,...

What happens when we start asking the questions we’ve all wondered about the end times? In this special episode from our August Committed Gathering, Pastor Jamie Wright and Lisa Wright walk through common Christian views of eschatology before sharing the perspective they most closely align with—including Dr. Lynn Hiles’ understanding of Victorious Eschatology and the significance of 70 A.D. From t...

Why did Jesus face temptation before stepping into public ministry? And what does that teach us about the battles we face today? In this powerful message, Isaiah Dalton walks through Luke 4:1-13, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness, and Luke 23, where Jesus is mocked and challenged at the cross. Though separated by years, the same temptation echoes in both passages: Will Jesus trust the Fathe...

This week, we kicked off a brand-new series called Family Tree , led by Pastor Jamie Wright, exploring the history of the Church and our shared Christian heritage. Our first night began with a simple but foundational truth: before there were denominations, there was the Church Jesus established. Looking at Matthew 16:13–18, Acts 2, and other key passages, we discovered that the Church isn’t a buil...

This week at Guy’s Night, we wrapped up John Mark Comer’s Scripture Practice with our final session: Memorize. Looking at Matthew 27 and Psalm 22, we saw how Jesus had God’s Word so deeply hidden in His heart that, even in His darkest moment on the cross, Scripture flowed from His lips. We discussed that memorizing Scripture isn’t about impressing others—it’s about storing God’s truth in our heart...

Night 1 | Jesus Is Our Only Redeemer Jesus didn’t just make salvation possible—He became our Redeemer. In this opening message of our Jesus Is Enough series, Pastor Daven Wall unpacks the hope, freedom, and new life found in Christ alone. No matter your past, Jesus is enough.

This week at Guy’s Night, we continued John Mark Comer’s Scripture Practice with Week 3: Study. Together, we walked through Luke 4:1–13, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness and responds to every temptation with the truth of Scripture. We discussed how studying God’s Word goes beyond simply reading it—it means asking questions, understanding the context, and discovering what God is revealing t...

This week at Guy’s Night, we continued John Mark Comer’s Scripture Practice with Part 2: Meditate. Looking at Luke 24, Joshua 1, and Psalm 1, we discussed how biblical meditation is more than reading—it’s slowing down, reflecting, and allowing God’s Word to sink deep into our hearts. Rather than rushing through Scripture, we are called to dwell on it, think about it, and let it shape the way we se...

This week at Guy’s Night, we began John Mark Comer’s Scripture Practice with Part 1: Read. Together, we explored what it means to slow down and approach God’s Word with intention, not just for information but for transformation. Scripture isn’t simply something we study—it’s a way we encounter God, learn His voice, and allow Him to shape our lives. Our challenge this week was simple: don’t just re...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 4: WHO’S YOUR ONE MORE? The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. In the final night of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright closes the week with a sobering and urgent call from Matthew 9:35–38—Jesus’ compassion for the crowds and His command to pray for workers to go into the harvest. This message is not just a conclusion to camp—it’s a commissioning. Throughout the week...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 3: WHAT IS PRAYER? What is prayer? Why do Christians pray? How do we pray? And what do we do with the parts of prayer that many Christians either misunderstand, avoid, or never talk about? In Night 3 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright takes students on a deep dive into one of the most important practices of the Christian life: prayer. Far more than a religious ritual, prayer i...

FCF CAMP 2026 – NIGHT 2: DAILY BREAD In Night 2 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright challenges students to rethink what it means to follow Jesus in a culture built on consumption. We live in a world that constantly asks: What can I get? What can I gain? What’s in it for me? Even our faith can become consumer-driven, where we chase experiences, emotions, and spiritual highs while neglecting the ordin...

🎙️ SPECIAL FCF YOUTH CAMP EPISODE FCF CAMP – Night 1: Standin’ On Business What do you do when the storm won’t stop? In Night 1 of FCF Youth Camp, Matthew Wright opens Acts 27 and explores one of the most powerful stories of faith, leadership, and perseverance in Scripture. While 276 people aboard a ship lost hope, one prisoner stood firm because he remembered what God had said. This message chall...

Last night at Guy’s Night, Linny shared a powerful message titled “Weathering the Storm,” reminding us that faith is not proven when life is easy, but when we choose to trust God in the middle of the fire. Using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 3, we focused on one of the most remarkable statements of faith in all of Scripture: “But even if He does not…” (Daniel 3:18) These...

This week at Guy’s Night, Schaefer Ball led a powerful and challenging Bible study titled “Fruit Check.” Using the account of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11, the discussion focused on a question every believer should ask: Is my life actually producing fruit? At first glance, Jesus’ interaction with the fig tree can seem surprising. Why would Jesus curse a tree? But as we dug deeper into the...

This week, Guy’s Night looked a little different. Instead of walking through a chapter of Scripture, we set aside the evening for something just as important: worship, prayer, and simply spending time in the presence of God together. In a world that constantly demands our attention and fills our schedules, this night was an opportunity to slow down, lift our eyes to Christ, and remember what truly...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 4: Living the Gospel Daily This week at Guy’s Night, we finished our journey through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 4, closing out the letter with a powerful reminder that following Jesus is meant to shape every part of everyday life. As Paul wraps up Colossians, the focus turns toward prayer, relationships, speech, and living faithfully in a world that desperat...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 3: Putting Off the Old, Putting On Christ This week at Guy’s Night, we walked through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 3, where Paul shifts from theology to transformation — showing us what life actually looks like when Jesus is truly Lord. The night centered around the challenge to “set your minds on things above,” and we talked honestly about how difficult it ca...

Guy’s Night – Colossians Chapter 2: Rooted in Christ, Free From Empty Religion This week at Guy’s Night, we continued through Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 2, and the conversation centered around one major truth: if Christ is enough, then we don’t need to look anywhere else for identity, freedom, or fullness. A huge part of the night focused on verses 4–7, where Paul warns believers not to be...

This week, Guy’s Night began a brand new journey through the book of Epistle to the Colossians, and from the very first chapter, the focus was clear: Jesus is not just important — He is supreme over everything. As we walked through Chapter 1, we explored one of the most powerful portraits of Christ in all of Scripture. Paul reminds the church that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the creat...
