Marriage is God's design—a sacred covenant that reflects Christ's love for His Church. From the beginning, God created marriage for unity, companionship, and becoming "one flesh." A thriving marriage begins by putting Jesus first, prioritizing your spouse, practicing mutual submission, fighting for unity, serving one another with humility, extending forgiveness freely, and honoring intimacy as a gift within marriage. When we behold Jesus as our Bridegroom and follow His example of sacrificial love, our marriages become a powerful testimony of God's grace, faithfulness, and covenant love.

To have a healthy mind means to be one who beholds the cross of Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? In this episode, we explore the cost of following Jesus, what it means to truly love Him through obedience, and why outward sacrifices without love are empty. Discover why a healthy mind begins with crucifying your own will, surrendering to God's, and becoming more like the One you behold. True health isn't measured by longevity—it is marked by obedience to Christ.
BEHOLD JESUS CHRIST.

Today's episode is continuing our Healthy Series, we continued exploring God's design for true wholeness—loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. After recapping the importance of spiritual health and daily connection with Jesus, we shifted our focus to soul health, especially our emotions. We discussed how culture often encourages feelings to become our highest authority, but Scripture calls us to let God's truth lead instead. Looking at David in Psalm 42 and Jesus in Gethsemane, we learned a biblical pattern for emotional health: name your emotions, bring them to God, and submit them to His will. We closed by challenging listeners to practice Sabbath, continue fasting unhealthy indulgences, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where emotional healing and greater wholeness are needed.

What happens when God's love doesn't just stop with us, but flows through us to others? In this week's message from our Beloved series, Mark Middleton shares a simple but life-changing truth: Loved people love people. Jesus never intended His love to be something we simply receive and store away. Like a river, His love is meant to flow into our lives and then out to the people around us.

What if the most important thing about you isn’t what you do, what you’ve accomplished, or even where you’ve failed—but simply that you are loved by Jesus?
In Week One of our Beloved series, Mark Middleton explores the identity that shaped the Apostle John’s entire life. Rather than introducing himself by his accomplishments, John chose to be known as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” It wasn’t false humility—it was a revelation. John understood that the Christian life begins not with striving, serving, or performing, but with receiving the love of God.

Caleb shares on the spirit of Understanding and the Fear of the Lord. Through scripture, we learn that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10) and that “in the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence” (Proverbs 14:26). Far from producing insecurity, a healthy fear of God leads to refuge, stability, and a deeper understanding of who He is.

The Holy Spirit is not a force — He is a person. He leads, counsels, empowers, strengthens, and transforms lives. Throughout Scripture, we see that counsel and might always work together. Counsel is hearing God’s voice. Might is having the courage and power to obey it.

Ephesians 4:4 reminds us there is one body and one Spirit—yet we live in a world full of competing voices and opposing spirits that seek to confuse, distract, and ultimately destroy. But Jesus didn’t leave us alone. In John 20, He breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” That same Spirit now lives in us.

We’re kicking off a new series, Only One Spirit: The Holy Spirit.
This episode lays the foundation for what’s ahead as we explore who the Holy Spirit really is—God, present and active in our lives. From the breath of Jesus in John 20 to the rushing wind in Acts 2, we see the Spirit who fills, leads, and transforms.
He is personal. He speaks, guides, and dwells within every believer—and there is more.

Through the stories of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, and Peter, we see three deeply personal encounters with Jesus—each one different, each one transformative. Mary discovers that Jesus knows her by name. Thomas moves from doubt to unshakable belief. Peter finds restoration after failure. And in their stories, we begin to see our own.
This message is an invitation: to draw near, to believe again (or for the first time), and to return to Jesus with open hands. Because the same risen Christ who called them is calling you.

What does the Lord’s Table really mean for us today?
In this message, Wes Lindseth teaches from three powerful moments in Scripture—Psalm 23, Exodus 12, and Jesus’ final meal with His disciples. The table God sets is deeply personal. It’s a table of provision, preparation, and passion.
This isn’t just about a ritual—it’s about relationship. It’s about slowing down, remembering, and recognizing what God has done, and what He’s still doing in our lives. Pull up a seat and join us at the table.

What if spiritual transformation isn’t about trying harder—but seeing clearer?
In this powerful message, Mark and Caleb explore the heart of discipleship: beholding Jesus. True change doesn’t begin with behavior, discipline, or knowledge—it begins with fixing our eyes on Him. When we truly see Jesus, everything shifts. What once felt like obligation becomes desire, and obedience flows naturally from love.

In Nehemiah 4–6, the wall is going up—but so is the opposition. Mocking. Threats. Lies. Intimidation. False accusations. Distractions. The moment progress starts, resistance shows up. Why? Because a great work often brings great opposition.
This episode dives into the tactics of the enemy and the strategy of heaven. If you’ve felt discouraged, distracted, or under attack lately, this message will strengthen your resolve and remind you: the opposition may be loud, but our God fights for us.

This episode is a call to stop standing in the rubble and start rebuilding.
You are God’s workmanship. You are engaged in a great work. Now it’s time to rise up and build.

In this episode, Mark Middleton dives into the story of Nehemiah to discover how God rebuilds what has been broken for generations. The walls of Jerusalem had lain in ruins for nearly 150 years—symbols of lost protection, dignity, and identity. This sermon is a call to pray first, see clearly, and step forward in faith—because God still rebuilds cities the same way He always has: one heart restored, one life surrendered, one obedient “yes” at a time.

In this episode, Mark Middleton teaches on why thanksgiving isn’t a moment or a mood, but a posture that shapes how we live. From the healing leper who returned to say thank you, to Jesus’ overflowing fullness in John 1, to the soul-anchoring declaration of Psalm 23—this teaching reminds us that grace flows from who Jesus already is. Gratitude keeps our hearts open, our minds renewed, and our lives grounded in humility.

Mark Middleton shares a simple but powerful truth in this Sunday morning sermon: “Thank you moves you into the presence.” Gratitude is not just a response to breakthroughs—it’s the pathway that leads us there. While complaining anchors us in the wilderness, thanksgiving lifts our eyes, softens our hearts, and moves us forward in faith.
Drawing from Psalm 100, Psalm 1, Colossians 3, Mark explains how gratitude positions us like trees planted by living water—rooted, nourished, and fruitful in every season. Gratitude shapes where our roots grow, keeps us abiding in Christ, and aligns our lives with the flow of God’s presence.

In this message, Mark invites us into a simple but powerful truth: gratitude expands our capacity for grace. Mark unpacks why grace isn’t limited by God’s supply but by our ability to receive it, how gratitude stretches our spiritual “wineskins,” and why Jesus never came to patch up an old life—He came to give us a brand-new one. This episode will encourage you to lean into gratitude, refocus your hunger on God’s presence, and discover how a simple “thank you” can open your life to more of what God wants to pour out.

Growing in Gratitude: A Transforming Grace
In this message from Life Church 7, Pastor Wes teaches that gratitude is not a behavior we force, but a grace God grows within us. While launching 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, he calls the church to something deeper—living from a heart shaped by grace and rooted in thankfulness.
Through Psalm 100, the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, and powerful healing testimonies, this sermon reveals how gratitude opens the door to God’s presence, keeps our hearts aligned with faith, and brings glory to God. Pastor Wes reminds believers of the joy of salvation, challenges patterns of negativity and fear, and invites the church to declare, “I belong to Jesus, and Jesus belongs to me.” This message calls listeners into a life of gratitude that transforms worship, relationships, outlook, and faith.
Gratitude isn’t forced—it’s formed by grace.

In this episode, we explore the powerful biblical theme of Ebenezer—a rock of remembrance—and how intentionally recalling God’s faithfulness helps us grow in the grace of gratitude. Drawing from 1 Samuel 3–7, Matthew 16, and Matthew 7, we journey through three significant “rocks” found in Scripture:
- A rock of remembrance — declaring, “Up to this point the Lord has helped us.” I Samuel 7:12
- A rock of revelation — the life-changing truth of who Jesus is. Matt 16:15-19
- A rock called Christ Jesus — the only foundation that stands firm through every storm. Matt 7:24-27
This message invites listeners to pause, remember what God has already done, receive fresh revelation of Jesus, and choose obedience that builds a life on solid ground. Whether you’re in a season of gratitude, questioning, or rebuilding, this episode will encourage you to reflect, trust, and stand firm on the unshakable Rock.

What if the greatest promise of Christmas isn’t just that God came, but that God stayed? In this message from our Incarnation series, Wes Lindseth walks us through the powerful truth of Immanuel—God with us.
As we unpack the Incarnation, we’ll see how God’s nearness produces two life-shaping graces: gratitude and humility. When we truly grasp that God is with us, it changes how we see ourselves and how we treat others. This is an encouraging, grounding word for anyone who needs to be reminded today: you are not alone—God is with you.

Drawing from Philippians 2:6–8, we see Christ’s humility and willingness to enter our broken world.

In this weeks sermon, Jim reminds us that being a follower of Jesus means more than just believing — it’s stepping into our calling as priests before God. Every one of us is invited to live with priestly purpose: to minister to God through worship, prayer, and obedience, and to represent His heart to the world around us.
Through Scripture and real-life insight, we see that God’s purpose doesn’t always come with a spotlight. It often shows up in faithfulness — in serving, listening, loving, and showing up day after day. This sermon calls us to live like priests in our everyday spaces: at home, at work, in our communities — offering our lives as living sacrifices to God.

This week’s podcast asks a question we don’t often stop to consider: What is a priest?
For many of us, that word feels distant—something from another time, another place, another people. But from the very beginning, God’s plan was never for a few to stand before Him. His desire was for all His people to walk as priests—those who minister to Him, love Him, and carry His presence into the world.
In this message, Mark Middleton traces the story of the priesthood from Genesis to Revelation. From Melchizedek, the king of righteousness and peace, to Moses and the people of Israel, to Jesus Christ—the Great High Priest who opened the way for us all.
You’ll hear how Jesus’ sacrifice didn’t just cover sin once for all time—it restored our identity.
Through His blood, we’ve become a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.

In this powerful message from The King and His Kingdom series, we dive into Colossians 1 and discover what it truly means to be transferred from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of Jesus, the one true King. Paul reminds us that the Kingdom isn’t about location—it’s about His presence. When Jesus is King, everything changes: our words shift from fear to worship, our priorities move from self to mission, and our focus turns from darkness to the brilliance of Christ. This isn’t just theology—it’s encounter. As we lift our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus, we are invited to live desperate for His presence, hungry for His Spirit, and surrendered to His reign in every part of life.

Brandon Rice emphasizes that the kingdom of God is not just coming—it is already here and within us, accessible through repentance, faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit. He explains that the kingdom is demonstrated through God’s presence, power, and authority in believers’ lives, including healing, miracles, and transformation, revealing what life looks like under Jesus’ rule. Brandon stresses that offense, fear, and attempts to control or limit God’s work hinder our experience of freedom and the kingdom. True faith rests not on words or teaching but on the power of God, and every believer is called to manifest His kingdom wherever they go, being a living witness of God’s presence, love, and authority in the world today.

The King and His Kingdom dives into the central message of Jesus: The Kingdom of God. Mentioned 150 times in the New Testament—119 times in the Gospels—the Kingdom is not just a future hope, but a present reality.
The Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual realm that breaks into our world even now. John the Baptist announced its arrival. Jesus declared its nearness. The disciples were sent to demonstrate its power through healing, deliverance, and miracles. And then Jesus made a radical statement: “The kingdom of God is within you and in your midst” (Luke 17:20–21 NASB).
This means the reign of God is not limited to external signs, political systems, or earthly thrones—it is a rule that begins in the human heart. When Christ reigns within us, His Kingdom transforms our thinking, renews our desires, and empowers us to live with authority, hope, and love. From the inside out, God’s Kingdom changes individuals, families, and entire communities.
In this series, we’ll uncover what it means to carry the Kingdom within us while anticipating the day it will be fully revealed on a new heaven and new earth. Each sermon in this series will invite you to embrace the life, power, and presence of King Jesus as He rules in and through you.

Discover how Jesus, the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come, reigns as the risen King over all the earth. He is the one who loves us, who freed us from our sins through His blood, and who has made us a kingdom of priests and kings for God.
