Where Are You, God?
When life falls apart, it's one of the most honest questions we can ask: "Where are You, God?"
Whether you're facing loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, sickness, or seasons where God feels distant, Scripture reminds us that His presence isn't determined by our circumstances.
In this powerful message, Larry shares personal stories of grief, doubt, healing, and renewed trust, while pointing us to the truth found in God's Word. Through the stories of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Jesus' promise in John 16, and the faithfulness of God throughout life's hardest moments, we're reminded that there is no such thing as a God-forsaken place.
In this message you'll discover:
• Why disappointment can distort our view of God
• How unmet expectations affect our faith
• Where true peace is found in the middle of trouble
• What it means to trust God—even when we don't understand
• The hope of knowing that God is with us in every season
Have you ever walked away from something… but still felt like you were in it?
In this message, we explore the tension between healing and reliving—why we often rehearse what God already released, and how that keeps us stuck in cycles we were meant to be free from.
Drawing from powerful truths in Psalm 147, Isaiah 43, 2 Corinthians 5, and Hebrews 12, this message unpacks:
• Why your mind can stay stuck in moments your body has left
• The signs you’re slipping back into an old identity
• How unhealthy relationships can pull you backward
• Why unforgiveness, insecurity, and familiar patterns keep reopening wounds
• The truth about being a new creation—not improved, but transformed
You’ll also hear honest, personal reflection on navigating relationships that no longer align with who you’ve become—and how to protect the healing God has already done in your life.
Key Takeaway:
You didn’t lose your growth—you just stepped back into an old environment. And you don’t have to stay there.
If this message speaks to you, consider sharing it with someone who may need encouragement in their healing journey.
Some believers quietly believe this:
“If I obey God correctly, everyone will understand.”
But the New Testament shows something very different.
In Acts 5, the apostles obeyed God faithfully—and the result wasn’t approval. It was anger, opposition, and threats of death. Their obedience didn’t calm the room. It exposed the room.
Many believers fall into a quiet trap:
Fear of offense → fear of man → people-pleasing → compromised obedience
If avoiding offense becomes your highest value, obedience will eventually become the collateral damage.
In this message we explore how Scripture helps us properly understand offense and why obedience to God will sometimes disturb systems built on pride, control, or personal preference.
You’ll also learn the difference between:
• Offense caused by sin or harshness
• Offense caused by truth
• Offense caused by the gospel
• Offense caused by personal preference
Jesus Himself offended people simply by telling the truth—and He did not withdraw the truth to keep peace.
Truth doesn’t always feel like love in the moment, but love refuses to abandon the truth.

Approval costs too much.
Many of us learned early how to keep everyone comfortable. We learned which version of ourselves kept the peace. Which tone worked. Which posture helped us fit in. We didn’t mean to become performers — we just wanted to be accepted.
But when image management begins driving your life, integrity slowly becomes negotiable.
In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira didn’t fall because they lacked generosity. They fell because they wanted the appearance of surrender more than the reality of surrender. The issue wasn’t the amount. It was the image.
People-pleasing may look harmless, even spiritual at times. But underneath it creates:
• A public self
• A private self
• And a divided heart
And spiritual power cannot flow through divided hearts.
In this message, we unpack:
• How people-pleasing quietly produces fear and hypocrisy
• The hidden internal conflict image management creates
• Why fear-driven obedience always multiplies fear
• Signs approval may be driving your life
• How the Holy Spirit gently invites us into freedom
This message is personal. It’s not about shame. It’s about freedom.
Some of the most exhausting bondage in the Christian life isn’t open rebellion — it’s quiet performance.
Today, by the grace of God, you can stop paying a price He never asked you to pay.
Approval is optional.
Obedience is freedom.
What does it really mean to train for godliness?
We live in a world that understands discipline, effort, and training when it comes to physical fitness, careers, and skills — yet often expect spiritual growth to happen automatically. In this message from 1 Timothy 4:7–10, we’re reminded that godliness doesn’t happen by accident. It is formed through habit, discipline, and intentional practice.
Godliness is more than belief — it’s reverent devotion lived out daily:
• Awareness of God’s presence
• Obedience to His voice
• Character shaped over time
In this message, we explore:
- What the Bible means by training (disciplined, repetitive, formative practice)
- Why spiritual growth requires effort, struggle, and perseverance
- The practical benefits of godliness: joy, peace, integrity, endurance, contentment, and faithfulness
- How spiritual habits shape who we are becoming
- Why following Jesus is not easier than mastering any other discipline — and why it’s worth it
Just as athletes, musicians, and professionals submit to years of training, Scripture calls us to submit our entire lives to a process that forms Christlike character. Growth takes time — but the payoff is eternal.
What if who you’re becoming matters more than what you’re building?
In Week 1 of our series Unimpressive → Unmistakable, we walk through Acts 4 and the moment religious leaders were stunned—not by Peter and John’s credentials, but by their boldness and authority. These weren’t famous leaders or trained scholars. They were ordinary people who had simply been with Jesus.
This message unpacks:
• Why the gospel doesn’t just comfort hearts — it confronts systems
• How God’s authority flows from proximity, not platform
• Why formation always comes before visibility
• The danger of fame without spiritual depth
• And how time spent with Jesus produces boldness you can’t fake
If you’ve ever felt underqualified, overlooked, or “not ready yet,” this message is for you.
In our series The Right Time. The Right Place. The Right People., this message focuses on The People Who Help You Walk Again.
From Acts 3, we see that the miracle didn’t happen in isolation. Healing came through relationship, obedience, and community. God used people—positioned at the right time and in the right place—to help someone rise, stand, and walk again. This message reminds us that restoration often flows through the hands of others, and that no one is meant to walk alone.
Through Scripture, we’re reminded that God designed the body of Christ to function together. We need people who will lift us when we fall, carry burdens with us, use their gifts faithfully, and point us back to Jesus—not themselves. The right people don’t replace God’s work in our lives; they help us respond to it.
If you’ve ever felt weak, stuck, or unsure how to take the next step, this message will encourage you to lean into the relationships God has placed around you—and to become that kind of person for others.
📖 Key Scriptures: Acts 3:1–10, 19; Ecclesiastes 4:9–10; Romans 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 6:2; John 3:30; 2 Corinthians 4:5 (NKJV)
In Week 1, The Right Time: Positioned in Prayer, we’re reminded that breakthrough doesn’t happen by accident — it happens through alignment. From Acts 3:1 and Luke 11, we see that prayer doesn’t force God’s hand; it positions our lives. God moves in rhythms, not rush, and when prayer is honored, restoration follows.
This message calls us to reorder our time, establish spiritual rhythms, and show up aligned — not striving, not rushed, but positioned for what God is preparing next. January isn’t about starting strong; it’s about starting aligned.
📖 Key Scriptures: Acts 3:1 (NKJV), Luke 11:1–4 (NKJV)

Peace doesn’t always feel peaceful at first—sometimes it feels awkward, unfamiliar, or even uncomfortable. In this message, we explore why calm can feel strange after a life shaped by chaos, and how Scripture reframes peace not as weakness or passivity, but as strength, wholeness, and healing. Drawing from Isaiah, John, and the life of Jesus, we’ll see that peace is not the absence of storms, but the presence of trust in God within them. If peace feels different this season, it may not mean something is wrong—it may mean God is restoring you.
In Week 2 of our Overflow series, we expose one of the most subtle and dangerous leaks to your spiritual life: deception. Drawing from 2 John 7–11, this message challenges us to recognize doctrinal drift—when we start entertaining ideas that sound spiritual but quietly deny truth. Pastor Josh unpacks how deception doesn’t usually storm in—it seeps in, slowly draining your faith, clarity, and capacity to overflow. Discover how to guard your heart, discern the voices shaping your beliefs, and take bold steps to stop the leak at its source. If you want to live full, you must protect what’s being poured in.
Welcome to Week 1 of our "Overflow" series—Plug the Leaks. After a season of soul-searching, we're diving into the overlooked power of 2 John and 3 John to discover how walking in truth and love seals the cracks in our spiritual lives. Just like a basket with holes can't hold water, our lives can't hold God's overflow if we’re leaking through compromise, busyness, pride, or deception. Join us as we ask the Holy Spirit to expose the leaks and prepare our hearts for true, Spirit-empowered overflow. Live free. Live full. Let the overflow begin.

In our Easter message this year, Pastor Josh spoke a message titled "All of That For This," where he explored the daily hardships and challenges people encounter and how they all work to get to the ultimate reward.

Bitterness can weigh us down and keep us from becoming our best selves. It can cause us to become resentful, angry, and even hostile towards others.

This week, Pastor Josh continues our Sermon Series Outsmart Your Anxiety with a Sermon titled 'Replace The Distorted Thoughts'. When anxiety has distorted our thoughts, we can't just dispute those thoughts, we need to replace them.
Anxiety and worry have the greatest power in our life when we're seeking our own interest, and it has its smallest grip when we're doing what God said and seeking His Kingdom first. In this week's sermon, Pastor Josh continues our Outsmart Your Anxiety series and speaks about practical ways we can overcome anxiety.
Anxiety carries a number of stigmas with it. Bringing it up in church adds a whole other layer of complexity. In this message Pastor Josh shows us how to change what we are listening to as we outsmart the issues that hinder us.
Conflicts will come in relationships, but how do we handle it in a healthy & biblical way. In today's message, Pastor Josh shares with us "A Roadmap For Confrontation".

Have you ever turned on the lights after being in the dark? Our eyes need a minute to refocus as we adjust to our surroundings. The same can be said for when we adjust our perspective. In this message, Pastor Josh helps us to reframe how we look at the world and ask "How Do You See It?"

Grace is a word that has taken on many definitions throughout history but none is more important than the grace given freely by God. In this message, Pastor Josh reminds us of the power of "Great Grace" and helps us to see that God's favor is upon us, even when we don't see it.
In this week's message, Pastor Brandon Peterson of Community of Faith Churches, brought an inspiring message that challenges us with the significance a simple invitation can make.

In his “Warring with the gods” sermon series, Pastor Josh Pennington has taught us of the other gods to be found in this world and how the enemy uses them to his advantage:
-Baal- The god of power
-Mammon- The god of possessions
-Asherah- The god of pleasure
This week Pastor Josh teaches us to have a kingdom mindset in order that the enemy may not outwit us and we can break free of the stronghold of the gods of this world.
Have you ever felt that the god of Pleasure has taken up residence in your life? Paul said that in the last days, society will become preoccupied and obsessed with the pursuit of their own comfort, pleasure, and happiness. The antidote of the god of Pleasure is the pursuit of righteousness. In this week’s message, Pastor Josh Pennington continues the message series, “Warring with the gods” by teaching us about how to overcome the strongholds the god of Pleasure has put in our lives.
Have you ever felt that the god of Pleasure has taken up residence in your life? The god of Pleasure is full of frustration and futility in this world.

Yet despite this glut of goods and pursuit of pleasure, the worldwide happiness index is the lowest on record, especially in the industrialized world where material goods abound.
In this week’s message, Pastor Josh Pennington continues the message series, “Warring with the gods” by teaching us about the strongholds the god of Pleasure puts in our lives.
Have you ever struggled with the god of Possession? The god of Possessions comes in the form of worry and takes residence in our lives when we place our trust in our possessions instead of God. The antidote to worry is Trust, and the action step is to seek first the Kingdom of God.

To not only understand ourselves better, but to be empathetic to those around us.
When dealing with relationships it often feels like they should come with a survival guide. But, we often forget to look inward at what we can do. More importantly, we often forget to look at God's example and how He has given clear directions on what an expression of love looks like.
Check out this week's very special message where Pastor Larry is joined by his wife, April, as they remind us sometimes, "It's The Little Things"

What is worship? Is that word just reserved for a band on Sunday mornings or maybe songs on our playlist?
Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? These common questions ask us to delve deeper into the nature of our worship. We have a tendency to overcomplicate the matter. Jesus makes it simple, our worship should encompass our head & our heart.
This week, Pastor Josh continues our message series, "Worship-More Than a Song"
What is worship? Is that word just reserved for a band on Sunday mornings or maybe songs on our playlist? Often we find so many things dying for our time and attention. What are we giving priority to?
This week, Pastor Josh begins a new message series on "Worship-It's More Than a Song"
Forgiveness. This word can mean countless things to so many people. Yet, until we understand the fullness of the word we can't appreciate what it really means.
In this week's message, Pastor Josh reminds us that we love in proportion to forgiveness.
Are you familiar with John 3:30? John the Baptist is telling the crowds that, "He must increase, but I must decrease." As we prepare for the final stretch toward Easter, Pastor Josh gives us a look at who Jesus really is as he shares with us about "Jesus-The Lamb of God"
We live in a society where we crave the spotlight & the fame that comes along with it. Yet, we often see people crumble under the pressure of notoriety. Maybe we are famous enough?
This week Pastor Josh returns to start a new mini-series, "He Must Increase"
Would you ever try growing flowers in an oil spill? Just like they would struggle to grow in that environment, you can't grow in an unhealthy space either. Are you protecting your personal environment? Maybe it's time to invite God in to change it up!
This week, Pastor Larry Miller shares with us the value of "The EPA" & the impact of how protecting our personal environment will help us grow.
Life seems like it can be a series of choices & other times it feels like everything is happening to us. Are we just a sum of the choices we make? Do we have a choice at all? Maybe there is something more to it?
Have you ever looked in the mirror & wondered about the person looking back at you? We often look within for the answer to our purpose. But, what if that answer is based on what we are most aware of?
Does your world seem chaotic? Are you stressed about current events? When disasters occur people tend to look to the end times but this often leads to much confusion and many more questions.
In this message, Pastor Josh Pennington offers a common sense and biblical look at what will happen "Before the End".
Ever really felt inconvenienced by a situation? Perhaps that situation isn't for you but the opportunity for you to impact the life of someone else. In this week's message, Pastor Larry reminds us that it's "Not By Chance" that we can find ourselves in a place to act in a person's life when they need it.
We all know what frustration feels like, and it’s easy to find ourselves asking the question “why do I feel this way?”
Perhaps we are frustrated with our friends, family, employer, government, church, or a multitude of other things we encounter throughout life.
In today’s message, Pastor Josh shows us God’s way to navigate these feelings and this world with a healthy soul.

What if the disciples said “not now Jesus' when He tells them to cast out their nets? How often have you been in a similar position where Jesus is asking you to do something, yet you continue to say no?

Faith is one of the main keys to partnering with God in your life. In this weeks message Pastor Larry Miller shares how you can not only build your faith but begin to put it into action!
Watch this weeks message titles "Flex Your Faith" by Pastor Larry Miller.
When the power of Jesus is injected into your situation, everything changes. If you have been following Jesus for even a short while, you know this statement to be true. What happens when He asks you to change a process or method of doing things that you believe to be correct? This is exactly what happens in today's passage where Jesus asks the "fishing experts" to fish a different way.
In today's message Pastor Josh uncovers how even though the world around us is changing, Jesus is still in the business of changing lives.
Prayer is an idea we believe we understand, but are too often guilty of shying away from. We find ourselves allowing fear and self doubt to stand in the way of this powerful aspect to our relationship with God, the ability to actually talk to our Father in heaven.
Allow God's word to reframe your perception of prayer as Pastor Josh shares this powerful idea of partnership through the lens of prayer.
When it may feel like just about every real-life connection in our network is unplugged, it is more important than ever to focus on the power of partnering. There is true power in collaboration, and now is the time to embrace this in our lives.
Check out this week's message as Pastor Josh introduces the Power Of Partnership.
In this message, Pastor Josh Pennington concludes “Wrapped,” our final series of the year, by taking a look at the gift of unlearning.
Half of spiritual growth is learning what we don’t know. The other half is unlearning what we do know, allowing us to loosen or let go of strongly held beliefs about ourselves and others.
Check out this week’s message as Pastor Josh teaches on six things to unlearn.
God isn’t concerned with what we don’t have. It’s often the things that we do have, and overlook or despise, that he will end up using to fuel our legacy.
Check out this weeks message as Pastor Josh makes the connection between our limits, our leftovers, and our legacy.
This week Pastor Josh continued ‘Wrapped,’ a message series about the gifts that will transform your family, by taking a look at the gift of boundaries. Healthy boundaries are key to healthy families.
Check out this week’s message as Pastor Josh teaches on five categories of boundaries we need to consider in our lives and in our families.
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word Discipline?
Chances are you are thinking of some sort of punishment or pain—but that doesn’t always have to be the case. Discipline typically means to direct, instruct, or guide, which are all good thing.
Check out this week’s message, “The Gift of Discipline,” as Pastor Larry takes a look at three different types of discipline that God has given us to deter us from destruction.
A dysfunctional family is a place you want to stay away from.
