Fear is a normal part of life, but it should never become the master of our hearts. In Part 3 of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan Lovett walks through Psalm 34 to discover four biblical remedies for fear.
David wrote this psalm after one of the lowest moments of his life, yet instead of remaining captive to fear, he found hope, strength, and peace in the Lord. If fear, discouragement, or anxiety has been weighing you down, this teaching offers practical biblical encouragement to help you walk confidently with Christ.
Fear often feels like something we have to overcome through our own strength. The Bible teaches something very different.
In this second message of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan Lovett explores Matthew 14 and the account of Jesus walking on the water. Through Peter's experience, we discover that fear is overcome, not by trying harder, but by drawing near to the presence of God.
Learn why fear causes us to focus on the storm instead of the Savior, what it means to "take heart," and how God's presence replaces anxiety with peace, courage, and unwavering trust.
Fear is one of Satan's greatest weapons against believers. It often begins with a single thought, grows into worry and anxiety, influences our decisions, and eventually controls the way we live. Yet throughout Scripture, God's command is clear: "Fear not."
In this first message of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan explains why fear is more than an emotion. It is a spiritual battle. You'll learn how fear develops, why so many Christians unknowingly live under its influence, and how God's Word, prayer, and spiritual warfare renew our minds and break the cycle of fear.

Why do so many marriages struggle with disappointment? Most marriages do not collapse because of one catastrophic event. They slowly erode through unmet expectations, emotional disconnection, comparison, and resentment. In this message, Pastor Ryan Lovett explores the biblical principle of dying to self and how it transforms marriages, relationships, and personal growth. Discover why your spouse was never meant to carry the weight of being your savior, how chronic disappointment develops, and how the Holy Spirit brings healing to unrealistic expectations, emotional wounds, and discontentment.
God desires to have connection and a deep relationship with us. In this teaching, Noel goes through part of the upper room discourse in John 13-14 to show the love God has for us and how we can have a deep connection with Him.
What can we learn from Jesus washing the disciple's feet and how pride affects not only our relationship with God, but those we love as well. Pastor Ryan breaks down how we can recognize pride in our closest relationships and more importantly how Holy Spirit helps us remove pride and act in Christ-like humilty.
Pastor Ryan teaches through John 11 as we learn about Jesus' statement "I am the Resurrection and the Life". What things in your life have seemed to die? How can the power of Christ, through His Spirit, raise what's died in your back to life? Let's go through this teaching together to find out how.
God's love and justice is revealed when Jesus encounters the woman caught in adultery. What can we learn from this incredible moment where both God's truth and His grace are realized?
Jesus gave a simple but sobering warning when He said: “Remember Lot’s wife.” In this New Year dedication sermon, Pastor Ryan walks through the life of Lot, Lot’s wife, and Abraham to show how easily our attention, work, and ambition can drift toward the world. Using Scripture from Luke 17 and Genesis 13–19, this sermon exposes the danger of divided allegiance and challenges believers to fully dedicate their lives to the Kingdom of God. As we step into a new year, the question is not what you want to build, but what you are willing to dedicate to the Lord.
In John 5, Jesus shows us some of the truths about His identity found anywhere in the Gospels. Through four powerful “for” statements in verses 19–23, Jesus reveals that He is God. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan walks verse by verse through John 5:19–47 to show why Jesus is undeniably God, how His authority proves His divinity, and what that means for us as believers. Since Jesus truly is equal with the Father, then our response must go beyond belief into obedience, trust, and faithful action in the work He has called us to do.
At the Pool of Bethesda, a man had been waiting for healing for thirty-eight years. When Jesus approached him, He asked one of the most piercing questions in Scripture: “Do you want to be healed?” In this teaching, Pastor Ryan unpacks what that question means for us today. Many of us say we want healing, spiritual, emotional, or physical, but sometimes we find comfort in our pain, identity in our struggle, or fear in change. Discover how to move from complacency to faith, from comfort to obedience, and from waiting to walking in healing.
What is one of the most important things you can do for your faith to be strengthened? As we move through the 2nd half of John 4, we see that not only did the Samaritans and Royal Official hear about Jesus, but they pursued Him even more. From that, a faith in God was made stronger. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches how we can move from a following to a pursuit of Jesus that results in a stronger faith and stronger family.
What if Jesus was ready to offer you the gift of freedom and joy? Would you take it? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches through the first part of the account of the woman at the well. Jesus offers her living water, but she says He doesn't have a rope to draw with. What rope do you need to give to Jesus so He can draw down to the depths your heart? Is the rope of control? Trust or vulnerability? Learn in this teaching how you can become face to face with Jesus and find healing in your heart.
In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches through John 3:22-36 where John the Baptizer tells his disciples that he must decrease and Jesus must increase. In our life, do we struggle getting in the way of God, trying to do things He should be doing? Are we, without even thinking about it, increasing while God is decreasing? How can we learn to step aside and let God lead us and allow Him to increase all the more in our life? The answer is found in one word.
God's love is something we all long for and want more of, but sometimes it feels out of reach. As we continue in the Gospel of John we come across the famous verse in John 3:16 and in this sermon Pastor Ryan teaches us through how we can know God's love more deeply.
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, full of curiosity and questions. What he heard in return was something his logic could not process: “You must be born again.” In this teaching, Pastor Ryan explores the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3. You’ll learn why faith cannot rest on logic alone and how we can learn to discern spiritual things.
When Jesus entered the temple in Jerusalem, He found it filled with noise, business, and distraction. So He made a whip, drove out the merchants, and declared, “Do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from John 2:13–25, showing that Jesus is still cleansing temples today. We are now the temple of God, and He desires to remove what defiles and fill us with His light and holiness. Discover how to allow the Holy Spirit to purify your heart, renew your devotion, and restore the peace and power of God’s presence within you.
In John 2, Jesus performs His first miracle, turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. But this miracle was more than a display of power; it was a sign pointing to His identity as the divine Bridegroom and His mission to purify His people from the inside out. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan explains the rich symbolism behind this event, from the Jewish purification jars to the wedding imagery woven throughout Scripture, and shows how Jesus invites us to be cleansed, sanctified, and prepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.
What does it really mean when Jesus says, “Come and see”? In this teaching, Pastor Ryan walks through John 1:19-51 and the account of Jesus calling his disciples. You’ll see how faith begins with beholding Jesus and grows through following Him before you fully understand. From the humility of John to the curiosity of the first disciples, this passage reveals how every invitation from Jesus leads to transformation.
What anchors your faith when life feels uncertain? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan begins our journey through the Gospel of John, exploring the link between strong faith and Jesus found in John 1:1–18. John begins his gospel by showing us Jesus as the eternal Word, the Creator, the Light that pierces the darkness, and the One who dwells among us. These foundational truths build strong, unshakable faith.
What happens when the pressures of life take over and it becomes hard to trust that God will come through? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan connects Jesus' words in Matthew 6 to Israel being led to the Red Sea. Let's dive in and learn how God not only directs all things into His plan in will, but calls us to trust in Him with a knowing the promises He has for us shall come to pass.
Many women feel crushed by the “Proverbs 31 woman” as though it’s an impossible checklist of perfection. But this chapter is not a burden—it’s a celebration of the woman as helper, created with strength and dignity to partner in God’s mission. From the creation of Eve in Genesis 2, to the wisdom literature of Proverbs, to the New Testament vision of godly women, we see a picture of devotion, not perfection. This sermon explores how Proverbs 31 was originally understood, why it points to a helper role modeled on God Himself, and how women today can embrace their God-given calling with freedom and joy rather than pressure and guilt.
In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from Genesis 32 and the story of Jacob wrestling with God to uncover what it truly means to become a godly man. Before we try to model Jesus in our lives, we must first know Him personally. This passage reveals three profound truths about pursuing a relationship with God, wrestling with His will, and allowing Him to transform us into the men He has called us to be. Whether you’re a father, husband, leader, or simply a man seeking to walk faithfully with Christ, this sermon will challenge you to press into God, surrender your strength, and be marked by His presence.
In this sermon, Pastor Ryan teaches from about what it means for families to live on mission for Christ. Families today are pulled in every direction by culture—chasing success, comfort, busyness, and image. The early church modeled something radically different: strong faith that produced strong families. Discover how God calls families to reject the world’s way, anchor themselves in Scripture, pray together, and live on mission. A family doesn’t become strong by accident—it’s intentional.
In this sermon from The Way series, Pastor Ryan teaches on The Way of Vulnerability—a core part of how the early church lived out their faith in Jesus. Acts 2:42 shows that the first believers were committed to walking in honest confession, radical forgiveness, and bearing one another’s burdens. In a culture built on honor and shame, they chose transparency with God and each other, knowing that true healing and unity only come when nothing is hidden in the dark.
What were the first Christians truly devoted to? Acts 2:42 tells us that the early church was committed to the Apostle’s teaching. But what exactly were the Apostles teaching—and why is it still essential for us today? In this message, Pastor Ryan Lovett helps us rediscover the foundation of biblical discipleship: being rooted in the Word of God.
You'll see how the early believers built their lives around the truth Jesus gave through His Apostles, and why this same devotion is critical for our faith now. In a time when voices and opinions are everywhere, we need to get back to the truth that doesn't change.
What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan Lovett dives into the ancient roots of the Christian faith—known in the first century as The Way—and unpacks what real devotion looked like for the early church. From Acts 2:42, we discover that the first believers were devoted not out of convenience, but through deep, Spirit-empowered loyalty.
Today, many struggle with shallow commitment, spiritual apathy, or busyness. But biblical devotion is persistent, intentional, and sacrificial. This message will challenge you to reorient your life, renew your passion for Jesus, and reclaim the kind of gritty, enduring devotion that shaped the early Church.
What if the silence of God wasn’t abandonment—but invitation? In this message, Pastor Ryan teaches from the book of Job and shows that when God doesn’t answer with explanations, He often answers with revelation. Through Job’s suffering, we see that the greatest gift God can give us is not always clarity—but closeness. Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of that promise: the visible image of the invisible God. If you’ve been in a season of silence, suffering, or searching for answers—this message is for you. You’ll be challenged to shift your prayer from “God, give me answers” to “God, show me Your face.”
What do we do when God is silent? When prayers feel unanswered, and the silence is deafening? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan walks through the unseen ways God moves in our lives—even when we can’t hear Him. Drawing from the story of Esther, the book of Job, and Ephesians 6, we discover that God’s silence does not mean His absence. You'll learn how to be strengthened in the silence by putting on the armor of God and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit.
When life get's overwhelming and stressful, what can we do? Jesus offers us a solution, but it's not what you would normally think. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to make an exchange; our way of living for his way of living. He invites us to become His disciple. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan goes through what it would have meant to be a disciple under Jesus as the Jewish Rabbi to His disciples and how that offers us a yoke that is easy and burden that is light.
Our focus today is on 1 Chronicles 29:19, a short but powerful prayer David prays for Solomon—one that reveals something vital about how we should live our lives for God.
In a world of confusion, compromise, and spiritual noise, discernment isn’t optional—it’s necessary. In this teaching, we explore how to grow in spiritual discernment by developing three key perspectives: the supernatural perspective, which helps us see beyond what’s physical; the eternal perspective, which aligns us with God’s larger purposes; and the biblical perspective, which grounds us in truth. If you’ve ever felt unsure about what God is doing, misread a situation, or reacted to something that wasn’t what it seemed—this teaching is for you. Learn how to become a spiritually discerning person who walks in clarity, wisdom, and power, even when everything around you feels unclear.
Division doesn’t always start loud—but it always starts deep. In this powerful sermon, we unpack 1 Kings 11–12 and the spiritual anatomy of division: where it begins, how it spreads, and how to disarm it before it destroys what God is building in your life. Drawing from biblical truths in James 3, Romans 16, Titus 3, and Matthew 12, we reveal how unresolved anger, selfish ambition, and unforgiveness form the perfect storm for division to thrive. This is more than a message—it’s a call to heal your heart so healing can flow through your words. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the weapon of division can be disarmed—starting in your own heart.
In today’s teaching, Pastor Ryan dives into one of the most sobering moments in David’s life—and what it reveals about spiritual vulnerability in our own hearts. What’s in me that Satan could use against me? God allowed David to be tested, and Satan found an open door. If it could happen to David, it can happen to us. But there’s hope: by allowing God to search our hearts, confessing what’s hidden, and living surrendered to Him, we can close every door the enemy tries to use. Prepare your heart, and let’s walk in freedom together.
On this Palm Sunday we look at two contrasting statements between the Pharisees and Jesus. The former believe Israel has gone after Jesus, while Jesus laments on how they have missed His visitation. What can we learn about salvation and discipleship from these passages and others, and look to the cross to bring us to a place of surrender to God in all of our life?
How can we discern when God is making a transition in our lives, and better yet how can we walk boldly and confidently into the new season He is preparring for us?
When it comes down to it, there is only one thing that will matter in the end. Many times, things get in our way of that and our focus and perspective is distracted. How can we overcome this to live our life in a way we pursue ths one thing that matters?
Do you ever wonder if you have what it takes to take hold of the promises God has over your life? When confronted with the task of taking hold of the promised land, Joshua was commanded by God to be strong and courageous. What can we learn from this command and encouragement to take hold of what God is leading us into?
If you've ever struggle in impurity, we have hope through Jesus and the working of the Holy Spirit to wash us clean. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan breaks down how the Word of God washes and cleanses us, along with the Holy Spirit to empower us to walk a life of purity.

Ahab is marked by passivity and insecurity. When men are silent, passive, tolerant of things they
shouldn’t be, the family suffers. It’s a sin of omission. How can men go from passive people in the home to Godly leaders who are assertive and caring for those they lead?
The revelation of Jesus continues as we learn more details of what’s happening and will happen in the tribulation, but as we see John being told to communicate what God tells him, where do we stand in declaring what God has commanded us to? Are we swollen on the gains of Scripture and weak on the declaration of it to others? How can speak more of God’s wonderful plan of redemption to those around us?

Much of what we encounter with Holy Spirit is based on two things: The manifestations of Holy Spirit
and how we feel regarding Holy Spirit. Do manifestations and feelings associated with Holy Spirit draw
us closer to Him and know Him more? Or is there something more profound we can learn about Holy
Spirit that creates a relationship with Him based on who He is rather than what He does?
The hardening of our hearts towards God is something every believer tries to avoid. At times, we find ourselves distanced from God, and even perhaps jaded in some ways. What’s the separation between us and God? Most likely, it’s a sin of some kind. Big or tiny, sin is what ultimately separates us from God and causes our heart to become hardened. As we look at people in the tribulation, there are some valuable lessons we can learn to have a soft hearts towards God and draw closer to Him.
In part 2, we look at how we can break free from sinful patterns and habits that we see in our lives and in the generations before us.

Are generational curses a real thing? What does the Bible say about them, if anything at all? We're diving into the Bible to get answers about these quesitons and see how sins and habits from previous generations affect our life.
In today’s world, we face many spiritual battles. In the tribulation, those spiritual battles will be torments that will cause people to want to die. As we learn more about the 5 th Trumpet and 1 st Woe, we will try to understand the enemy we face and how we can live victoriously, in spite of the spiritual battles we face.

As we take a look at seals 6 and 7, along with the sealing of the 144,000, we will see where God’s comfort is in the midst of pain.

As the tribulation begins to unfold we see the destruction of many terrible things. Many people will wonder where God is at in all that is going on. In our own lives, we can often wonder where God is. There will be a future tribulation of the world, but in the here and now, how can we find God in our personal tribulation?
We live in a world where a lot of stuff is going on right now. In all of it, we begin to question some things like why is this happening? How could this happen? When we ask questions like "how could God?", "why would God", we are looking for answers. In order to find that answer, we must ask this question: What does it mean to believe in Jesus?
We want to be near to Jesus and to walk with Him and live for Him. We are desperate for a closeness with Him, but things like busyness, life, and our own expectations get in the way. Is there a way we can overcome these things to have a closer relationship with God?
Jesus is working all things for our good. Many of us know He is our salvation, but have we ever been told the why? Today we take a look into that quesiton for our answer and in the process come to realize that if He is going to redeem the entire earth, what I am going through matters to Him.

We were created for a life of worship. In Revelation 4 we get a glimpse of what heaven will be like and the worship of God that will take place. In the study verses today, we will draw back to instances in the Old Testament that God and His creation mirrored on earth what was and will be going on in heaven.
We all get into hard and difficult circumstances in life and sometimes without knowing it, we drift in our faith and belief. What are some ways we can better understand who we are in Christ and how can we live our life from that perspective? Pastor Ryan gives us 4 ways we can realign our faith based on God's Word.
As we move from the church age in Revelation to the next scene, John is taken up to heaven in symbolism of the rapture that will occur. What is the rapture and what will it look like? Why is it important to us? We’ll answer these questions and an even more important one: How God is seeking to save those who are lost to be with Him in eternity?
How can we develop a more intimate relationship with Jesus? The church at Laodicea was far from God in their hearts. Rich in abundance and without need, they had allowed Jesus to become secondary in their life. Jesus presents them with a stern warning, yet gently invites them back to an intimate relationship with Him. Today we learn how we can do the same. Watch The Video Series -

Today we look at the Church in Philadelphia and learn from what Jesus had to say to them and how it applies to us today.

As a believer we can sometimes have appearances of good works on the outside and they appear shining and right. However, those very things could not be what Jesus is looking for. We must take a look at what’s truly alive or dead in us and take responsibility for increasing our effectiveness as a believer.
Why are our works as believers important and how does false doctrine destroy those works? These are two key elements in our walk as believers that are rarely addressed. As we study the church at Thyatira we will see how our works as believers have an impact in this life, as well as eternity, and how we can avoid false doctrine from destroying our works.
We take a deeper dive into Revelation 2:8-17 as we go over the suffering and sin at the Church of Smyrna and Church of Pergamum.
Do sin and suffering relate to each other and how do we move from suffering to victory in this life? Today we look at the Church in Smyrna and the Church in Pergamum to see the issues they were dealing with in their time, along with the application on how to overcome those issues.
In Revelation 2 and 3 we see the 7 Churches being given a letter and report on how they are doing. The first church is Ephesus and we see many great things they are doing. However, Jesus has a warning for them and instructions on how to change. How do we see ourselves as a body of believers today in regards to this church and how can we avoid the traps of becoming stagnant in our walk with God? For more resources in this series, visit our website.
In this episode we dive deeper into Pastor Ryan's sermon on Revelation 1 and answer questions you had about this chapter.
Who is Jesus? The Book of Revelation sets out to answer that very question. Chapter 1 is fully of imagry and intrigue as Jesus is revealed like never before. Let's set out to get a revelation of the magnificence of Jesus and Who He is in heaven in His glorified body.
We begin our study in the Book of Revelation by introduction the background of this book including the reason for it's writing, along with the style, approach, and other aspects of how it connects the rest of the Bible together. For more resources in this series, visit our website.
What exactly is the church and how do we fit in it? More importantly, what has God given us in order to see His Kingdom expanded on earth through the building of His Church? Today we dive into 5 ways we will Build His Church in 2024.
Jesus came to us, Immanuel, God with us. At His birth, the darkness that once covered the earth began to draw back. Through His completed work on the cross, we are free from the darkness in our life. At times, we still struggle in darkness. So how can we look to Jesus to bring His light in our dark situations?
God has called us to partner with Him in bringing good over evil in this world. Many times we find ourselves fighting against the evil world, following others rather than God, or evening following our own desires over God. How do we persevere to continue to stand with God for good over evil in this world?
God has called us to partner with Him in bringing good over evil in this world. That’s not always
the most popular or easiest thing to do. Jesus told us that following and obeying Him wouldn’t
always be easy. So, how can we remain obedient to God when there are other easier options in
the world?
What do we do when we feel alone, tired, and weary? Elijah, as powerful as he was, came to this point in life and made some bad decisions that we can learn from. As we overcome evil in these last days, we must be reminded that in order to persevere, we must remain in strength. Here are some ways we can strengthen ourselves in the Lord.
We must pray if we are to stand with God against the evil in this world. Sometimes there are questions we have when it comes to prayer. Today we look at Elijah's prayer for rain, along with what James has to say about prayer, in order to overcome evil with good through prayer.
When evil is getting the attention and seems in control the circumstances, it’s time to rise and
stand for God. It could seem hard, it could feel like you’re doing it alone, and it could take a lot
of faith. In it all, we must remember that when you stand for God, God stands for you.
The world is getting more evil every single day, and it could seem like evil is winning. The believers in the world are too silent on matters of God and it's time to rise up like Elijah did in his day to stand for God in evil days.
What do we do when life brings us impossible situations? We bring the victory we have in Jesus to that impossibility and it becomes possible. In this podcast, Pastor Ryan discusses Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood and how they encountered the possible in their impossiblity when Jesus showed up.
When things in life seem like they aren’t going well and hope is fading, where do we turn? If we continue to focus on what is seen, we may lose more hope, but if we can focus on God’s promises in His Word, hope and faith will rise. Today we look at two examples of Jesus making the impossible possible. Nothing is impossible with God.
There is a good portion God has for us, one that will never be taken away. In a life full of choices, how do we choose what is good and pleasing to God? How can we say no what the world offers and say yes more to what Jesus is offering us?
What do we do when we are faced with sorrow? Do we just drudge through life and wait for it to pass? Or is there a better way out that will lead to joy? Today we look at I Samuel 1 and the story of Hannah to see how joy from our Father results with a surrender to Him.
When chaos and uncertainty is present in the world, what is our response? Do we live in worry or fear? Or do we bring the light of Jesus, rooted in the power, love, and sound mind that comes from God? In today's sermon, Pastor Ryan goes through how Jesus warns us of the events to come, and how we can move from fear to faith as we face these end times.
At any moment Jesus shows up in our lives and saves us from our circumstances. What do we after that happens? Do we go back to how life was or do we have the desire to stay with Jesus and make Him the one thing above all other things?
As we begin this new series, we take a look at the things in life that prevent us from being able to surrender all aspects of life to Jesus and receive from Him that which can never be taken away.
How do we have protection and hope in a world that often brings disappointment,
discouragement, and fear? Paul tells us to take the helmet of salvation and through that, we protection and a hope that is both living for now, and enduring through all the trails of life.
What do we do when the enemy attacks us and doesn’t seem to relent in that attack? God has given us a great shield to protect against those attacks – it’s the shield of faith. Faith was perfected in Jesus and we look to Him to know how we can not only endure, but come out victorious in the attacks from the enemy.
Things in life can be shaky at times and when things are unstable, our peace gets threatened.
How can we live a life a peace that God says we can when so much is going on in the world that
disrupts our peace? Let’s look to God’s Word for the answers.
What do we do when we are attacked by the enemy? We are called to put on the full armor of God. One of those armor pieces is the breastplate of righteousness. How does this protect us against the schemes of the enemy and how do we put it on?
What is truth? That’s a common question in society today. Truth is essential. So essential that we are commanded to put on the belt of truth so that all other pieces of the armor of God are held in place. So where do we find truth and how do we make it the center of all we think and do in our life?
Life can present challenges that seem overwhelming and often times we don’t know if we can fight them. In these challenges, we sometimes forget that God is the one leading us in battle and the One that will deliver. Today we see how God delivered Israel in battle in Joshua 10 and how He will also lead us to victory in our battles by delivering us from our enemies.
Would you say that you feel frustrated because you want to be delivered from something - a situation, an attack from the enemy, being stuck in the same place in life - yet you can’t experience that breakthrough of deliverance? Often times we struggle to move to the next place God has for us because of the sin we are still holding onto. However, once repentance takes place, the doors of deliverance are opened for freedom to take place.
When life gets tough, we are told to call on the name of the Lord. After we’ve done that, many
times we are given instructions on what to do, but we fail to do them and keep crying on the
Lord. This can lead to frustration as our problems don’t seem to be going away even though we
cry out to God. Today we look at the missing step of obedience in order to find deliverance.
The past can seem haunting. While God wants us focused on the future He has for us, many hours of our day are focused on the opposite of that. We often hold on to the negative of the past without remembering the good God has done. How do we overcome the things of our past so we can enter into the promise of our future with God?
Many desire to feel the love of God over them and to experience that love in their life. Sadly life experiences have tainted what the pure love of God really is. As we study through Ephesians 3 and I John 4, we will see what the love of God really looks like in our life and how we can have it deeply rooted in us.
When it comes to inheriting the promises of God over our life, we have daily decisions that will either draw us closer to those promises or further away. In those decisions, we are either rooted in the fear of man or the fear of God. How do we experienced being delivered from the fear of man so that we can fear God more and make decisions based on our reverence for Him?
Many of us are walking around in life not experiencing the promises God has for us. Why is that? While we may not want to admit it, could it be decisions that we’ve made in life and a willingness to not fight for what God has promised us are keeping us from those promises? Today we study Joshua 1 and how Israel prepared to enter into the promises God had for them and how we can do the same?
The root of bitterness is something that is buried deep inside many people and is one of the
greatest weapons of the enemy to keep people from experiencing freedom from bondage. In
this sermon we will be able to identity what bitterness truly is, what’s attached to it, how it works
in our life, and how we can be set free from it.
What are some things in life that have happened, are happing, or could happen that would cause you to trust God less, or even worse, not at all? Distrust in God will lead to a belief system that goes against the truth in God’s Word and lead us down a path back to bondage. How do we prevent this?
How many of you desire to be closer and have a better relationship with God? Have you ever wondered what is keeping you from having a closer relationship with God? Many of us get caught up in the daily-ness of life and forget the commitment we made to Jesus to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Today we study what idolatry is and how we can uproot it so we can have a more intimate relationship with God.
Something we may not think of holding us back from what God desires for us is comfort. Being rooted in comfort will not only keep you where you're at, but put you in a close position to going back to your former ways. Today we look at how we can get out of our comfort and into the promise God has for us.
Pride is often the great sin that we knowingly or unknowingly ignore. It opens the door for the
enemy to work all other forms of sin without us realizing it. How to do realize when we’re being
prideful and how do we uproot it in our life?
Shame can seem impossible to overcome at times and keep us in hiding from God and others. If we aren't careful it can get rooted in us to the point of inward deterioration. The good news is we have freedom from shame when we are rooted in Christ and we can be set free from shame.
We have been studying what it is to be set free and today we continue that as we see how God is greater, taking a journey through lessons of the parting of the Red Sea.
While we have total and complete victory in Christ, we still have an enemy out to steal, kill, and destroy the plans of God for our life. Rather than pretend nothing is there, we are going to understand 3 ways in how Satan tries to stop us from living in the victory Christ has given us.
Is there something in your life that is keeping you down? Is there something that you are struggling with that you can’t seem to break free from? We often wonder why we can’t become the Christ follower we desire to be and why we get caught up in sins or habits that keep us from moving towards the life God has promised us. As we open up this new series, We Are Set Free, we will first look at the reasons we get pulled back into the things of life we are trying to break free from.
On resurrection Sunday there were a few that got to see inside the tomb and they believed. Others who did not hesitated or flat out did not believe. Today we take a look inside our heart to see where God is placed in our life and if we truly believe in what Jesus has done for us.
What happens when circumstances don't go our way or change on us all of the sudden? In that chaos we can choose to focus on the circumstances or God. Today we learn how we can put the focus on God to provide safety and strength in the times of trouble.
We live in a world that now, more than ever, has a culture and mindset of never stopping. We even glorify and worship this type of culture. Does this match what God has created and set up as a way for life? Certainly not. Today we study what the Sabbath is and why it is so important in order to remain healthy, obey God, and set us apart as believers.
Where do we search for answers when things in life are tough? Do we look towards things
outside of God, or do we go to the source in Jesus? Jesus is the all-sufficient One and provides
all we need in this life, but often times we aren’t vulnerable enough to receive what He offers
us? Today we look at a story of a women who was at first skeptical of Jesus, then became
vulnerable and received from Him all she was looking for.
We are told that God’s love is so powerful and incredible, but how do we experience His love in
our life like that? What, if anything, could be hindering me from knowing and enjoying a life full
of God’s love? Today we look at a story of a father and son to show the power of God’s love.
How often has worried paralyzed us or kept us from functioning in life? Worry is not something that is supposed to stop us and Jesus made it clear not to worry. But how do we do this? How can we live a life free from worry?
How long are we supposed to suffer? Is it a noble thing to do for God? More importantly, how do we break free from suffering and enter into a place of restoration? Today we tackle these questions by looking into God’s Word for healing and restoration.

We’ve spent the past several weeks learning from Scripture about the restoration of the Biblical family. What it says about marriage, parenting, children, and so much more. Today we put the practical application in place and learn from real life experience how living according to the Spirit produces life and peace in your family.
What defines a marriage and how do we make that marriage all that desire for it to be? Today we look into God's Word for answers to these questions and more.
In an ever-changing world where methods and ideas of raising children varies and moves further away from what the Bible shows us in raising children, we are faced with what to do in order to raise children in a Godly way. Today we look to Scripture to define what a Biblical child and parent is, and how to raise children to follow and image God.
Many husbands are confused and insecure with their role as a husband. They don't know how to lead. Today we look into God's Word to know what a husband is, what they are to do in life, and how to do those things.
In the intro to our new series on the Biblical Family, Pastor Ryan goes through how we can shift from a wordly perspective of family to living out what God has designed for family from God's Word.
Our vision for 2023 as a church is far reaching, but it starts in our own personal lives. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan shows us how God can use one person to make a major difference.
Deep down we all desire something in our life to be restored. What would happen if we pursued more than resolutions in 2023 to make this happen? What if Jesus was our pursuit? In this sermon, Pastor Ryan shows us how our pursuit of Jesus will result in restoration.
When God taps you on the shoulder and calls you to give Him 100% of your life, are you willing to do that? If so, how do we do that? In today's message, Pastor Ryan gives 3 practical steps for giving God 100% of your life.
Jesus has called us to be more than followers, but agents of change on this earth until He returns. When He calls your name, will you answer by giving God your all?
The buffet of choices available to us in society today has led us to believe that those options are available when it comes to which commands of God we follow or not. How do we get back to a complete devotion to God and what He intends for life?
The world is full of hypocrites, and sadly the church too. How do we move away from the hypocritical life to a life that God has called us to live?
Do you want your actions to line up with your heart for God? Today we will take a look at the difference between what's on the outside vs what's on the inside and how to abide in God more so our actions line up to our heart for God.
The world is full of hypocrites, and sadly the church too. How do we move away from the hypocritical life to a life that God has called us to live?
Are Christians too judgmental? That’s a question we tackle in our sermon today as we learn how to have conversations with others about God, the Bible, and church in a way that is void of judgment and leads to a healthy conversation.
What does a healthy Christian look like and how do we become one that people outside of church can respect?
We start off this series discovering what a healthy Christian and healthy church looks like and how this impacts those who have been hurt by church.
How can we fear less in a world full of uncertainty? Pastor Ryan gives 7 tips on how to fear less based on Paul and his journeys in the Book of Acts.
In this message, Pastor Ryan shows how God gives us the courage to match the circumstances in our lives as we continue in our study of the Book of Acts.
Prayer can and does have the power to change everything in our life. But what keeps us from praying more? Do we not know how? Is there too much guilt and shame connected with God to speak with Him? How do we pray more effectively? All this and more in this episdoe.
How do we endure suffering and persecution as a believer? As we continue to study the Book of Acts, we come across the first martyr in Stephen and take a look at other Scripture to see how we can withstand suffering for the name of Jesus.
We continue the OG Church series and look at the original church in Acts 2:42-47 and how a hunger for God results in the incredible growth during that time.
We open up the OG Church series by diving into Acts 1 and look at what the church is really meant to be about.
While the enemy works to divide, the Holy Spriit works to bring unity to the body of Christ. In this sermon Pastor Ryan uses the illustration of David, Jonathan, and Saul to show how we can live a life of unity.
God wants us to live a holy life, but just as much, if not more, He desires we are made whole through the healing of our hearts. Pastor Ryan dives into how the Holy Spirit purifies us to make us whole and holy.
God desires to have an intimate relationship with us and through the Holy Spirit able to that. In this message we dive into how God has revealed Himself to us and others through the Holy Spirit and how we can have close conversations with God.
The Holy Spirit has empowered us with authority to touch heaven and change earth. Pastor Ryan tells us 3 ways in which the Holy Spirit empowers us for God's Kingdom hear on earth.
We begin our new series on the Holy Spirit by giving an introduction to who He is and answer the questions of who, what, where, when, and about the Holy Spirit.
Our talk and our walk. In this message we go over how to image and carry the name of God as we encounter others in the way we speak.
How do we integrate grace and truth? Pastor Ryan breaks down how we can hold the truth of God's Word while simultaneously offering grace to those around us.
Pastor Ryan shares 4 aspects of how we can better take care of ourselves so we can love and serve God and others, fulfilling Jesus' greatest commandment.
We begin our series called Image Bearers and learn what it means to image Jesus in serving others with humility.
Pastor Ryan takes us through John 10 and Psalm 23 as we uncover what it looks like to hear the voice of God to lead us to a place of restoration.
