High Praise Crestview

This week at High Praise Crestview, Pastor Micah kicks off a brand-new series: IN THIS HOUSE. God didn’t call the church to be a cruise ship for the comfortable, but a command center for the children of God. In this opening message, In This House: We Equip Believers, Pastor Micah unpacks the vision for our house as we step into year five of our church. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11–16 , he reminds u...

Psalm 119 isn’t just the longest chapter in the Bible — it’s a passionate love song to God’s Word, written from A to Z to declare that Scripture covers every part of life. In this message, Pastor Micah unpacks how the Word is not a burden but a blessing — a lamp for your feet, a guardrail from traps, a lifeline in trouble, and a source of joy in every season. You’ll learn how God’s Word doesn’t ju...

In this powerful message from Psalm 91, Pastor Micah unpacks what it means to trust God in the face of fear, danger, and uncertainty. This isn’t blind optimism — it’s raw faith in a God who never leaves. Psalm 91 doesn’t pretend the threats aren’t real. It names them — arrows, traps, terror, pestilence — but then boldly declares: you don’t have to be afraid. Fear may shout, but faith speaks louder...

Why does it seem like the wicked win while the faithful sometimes struggle? In this message, Pastor Micah dives into Psalm 73, a raw and honest psalm from Asaph — a worship leader who nearly slipped under the weight of envy and injustice. He was anointed, appointed, and still wrestled with bitterness. We’ve all been there — frustrated, overlooked, wondering if obedience is really worth it. But Asa...

Dry doesn’t mean dead. In the kickoff of our Psalms for the Summer series, Pastor Micah unpacks Psalm 42 — a raw, honest cry from the depths of a soul in distress. Have you ever felt like your prayers were hitting the ceiling? Like your worship felt empty? This message reminds us that even in the driest seasons, there’s a river that never runs dry — and His name is Jesus. If you feel dry, distant,...

Self-control isn’t just the last fruit of the Spirit—it’s the guardrail that protects them all. In this powerful and practical message, Pastor Micah unpacks how self-control is not about willpower or behavior management, but about Spirit-empowered surrender. It's the ability to say no to sin and self, and yes to the Spirit. In this sermon, you’ll discover how grace doesn’t just save you—it tea...

In this message from our Aisle 9 series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we explore gentleness — not as weakness, but as strength surrendered to the Spirit. True gentleness isn't passive; it's powerful, steady, and led. You’ll learn how meekness opens the door for transformation, how pride shuts it, and why gentleness is essential for restoring others, receiving the Word, and walking like Jesus...

In this week’s message, Aisle 9: Faithfulness , Pastor Micah dives deep into the often-overlooked fruit of the Spirit: faithfulness. While faith is foundational, it’s faithfulness that builds the house, unlocks blessing, and reveals the true character of a believer. Using powerful Scripture, practical illustrations (like bricks and walls), and the life of Joseph as a blueprint, this message challe...

In this week’s message, Pastor Micah continues our Aisle 9 series by unpacking the Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness . In a world obsessed with appearances, God isn’t fooled by filters or packaging—He’s looking for fruit. Using a powerful illustration with two identical donut boxes, Pastor Micah challenges us to evaluate what we’re truly carrying. Is it something people can taste and see that the Lord...

In this powerful message, Pastor Micah unpacks what true kindness looks like—not as a soft or passive trait, but as a Spirit-empowered strength that heals, restores, and reflects the heart of the Father. Drawing from Matthew 7 and Galatians 5, we’re reminded that you will know a tree by its fruit—and the fruit of the Spirit reveals who we truly follow. Kindness isn’t just what God does—it’s who He...

In this message, Pastor Micah shares a timely and challenging word from our Aisle 9 series on the fruit of the Spirit—focusing on patience , or as Scripture often calls it, longsuffering . We live in a world addicted to speed and instant gratification, but the Spirit doesn’t move on our schedule—He moves on God’s. Through Matthew 7 and Galatians 5, Pastor Micah unpacks how patience is not passive...

In this week’s message, Pastor Micah continues our Aisle 9 series on the Fruit of the Spirit with a deep and timely word on peace —not as a feeling, but as a fruit we’re called to grow and carry. Drawing from Luke 10:5–6, Philippians 4:6–7, and Isaiah 26:3, Pastor Micah teaches that peacemakers carry the atmosphere of heaven with them . Jesus didn’t just give peace—He told us to carry it , offer i...

Some people walk into the room and bring chaos with them. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to carry something different—peace. Not just the quiet kind, but the kind that makes things whole. In this episode of Aisle 9, we’re talking about real peace—the kind that doesn’t flinch under pressure, hide from conflict, or settle for false harmony. We’ll unpack what Jesus meant when He said you’ll...

Joy isn’t just a cute Instagram caption or something that happens when your day goes perfectly. It’s not reserved for when the kids behave, your spouse surprises you with coffee, or the sun hits just right for that family photo. Real joy —the kind that holds steady through chaos, pain, and unanswered prayers— isn’t rooted in our circumstances. It’s rooted in Christ. In this episode, Pastor Chelsea...

This week in Aisle 9 , we're walking straight into the heart of it all— love . Not the kind that’s soft, sentimental, or just “being nice,” but the gritty, Christ-modeled, Spirit-empowered love that bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things. In this episode, we unpack the rich truth of 1 Corinthians 13:4–7, exploring how love looks when it’s patient with immaturity, kind when it’s inconve...

This is the start of a new series on the Fruit of the Spirit—and we’re beginning with the one that sets the tone for all the others: love . Not the kind you manufacture or fake your way into, but the kind the Holy Spirit pours into your heart daily. In this episode, we walk through Jesus’ words in Matthew 7: “You’ll know them by their fruits.” Not by their gifts. Not by their platform. By their fr...

Before there was a cross… before there was a tomb… before there was even a garden in Eden… there was a Seed. Jesus wasn’t God’s backup plan—He was always the plan. The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Redemption was already in motion before the first sin was ever committed. And when Jesus said “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone,” He wasn’t just...

We love a crowd. The noise, the praise, the energy. But Jesus didn’t ride into Jerusalem just to soak up the celebration—He came to be planted. In this episode of Growing in the Garden , we look at Palm Sunday through a different lens: not just the triumphal entry, but the steps that led from public affirmation to private surrender. Jesus didn’t come to overthrow Rome—He came to overcome sin. And...

In week 2 of Growing in the Garden , we look at Jesus’ words in Mark 4:30–32, where He describes the Kingdom of God as a mustard seed—small and seemingly insignificant, but once planted, it becomes greater than all. Everything in God’s Kingdom starts as a seed. That means you , your life, your calling—it all begins small. But the seed can’t grow unless it’s planted. Too many people want fruit with...

You were created to grow. Period. But here’s the truth—we’ve built a culture that’s too comfortable with spiritual laziness. This message is a wake-up call: growth means movement , and movement starts with being planted —not just attending church, but actually being rooted in the presence of God and the fellowship of His people. Psalm 92:13 says, “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord sha...

In this final week of Beyond , we’re diving into Mark 5:21-43 —two miracles, one powerful message. Jairus was desperate for his daughter’s healing, and a woman who had suffered for 12 years was desperate for hers. Both pressed through obstacles, fear, and doubt, refusing to stop until they encountered Jesus. This message is all about pressing past the distractions, the delays, and even the discour...

In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Chelsea Gay of High Praise Crestview and Brooke Fitzgerald of Saving Grace Women's Recovery Home come together to discuss how the church can play a pivotal role in supporting individuals facing mental health crises and addiction. They delve into the challenges of stigma and how faith communities can create environments of understanding, compassion, and practic...

Beyond , Pastor Micah unpacks the power of perseverance and the tension that leads to transformation. Pressure, adversity, and breaking moments aren’t signs of failure; they are the very things that position us for what God has promised. This message reminds us that even the smallest signs—a cloud the size of a man’s hand—can signal the downpour of God’s favor. What if what you’ve been overlooking...

In this powerful episode, we’re diving into the tension that leads to breakthrough. There is no breakthrough without breaking, no breaking without tension, and no tension without pressure. But here’s the good news—God is working in it all. The enemy has no power to steal or stop the plan of God for your life (Luke 10:19). Jesus Himself faced pressure in the wilderness, yet He stood firm on the Wor...
