Fear. It is something that each and every one of us face. But why do we face it? How can God still use us? This week, as we look at the story of Moses, Torry Sheppard talks about how fear affects our faith.
Confidence. The step right before faith. God wants us to be confident but many times it is easier said than done. If we are lacking confidence, where do we look? Who do we look to? In this week’s message, we're getting our confidence back.

Could you be missing out on the feast that Gods prepared for you because you are waiting on the perfect circumstances to sit down? It’s time to take a seat and eat.
It’s hard to give what you haven’t yet received. What does that mean? In this week's episode, Torry and Kalyn Sheppard talk about what it is to truly love. In order for us to love, we must know 'How To Love' God first. We have to love God before we ever feel anything else.
It's not enough to just go to church. We have to BE the church. It's not enough to just tell people about Jesus. We have to GET people to Jesus. What does that look like?

We all go through seasons of waiting. Those seasons can be some of the most frustrating seasons of our lives. But waiting seasons don't have to be wasted seasons. In this week's message, Pastor Noah Herrin talks about what it looks like to wait as a follower of Jesus.
The life of a following Jesus is one that you will constantly be asked to step outside your comfort zone. You will be asked to risk your reputation. To love people who don't look like you. To move where no one else is willing to move. But a Church on Fire isn't afraid of the heat. In this week's message, Pastor Noah dives into what it means to be a Church on Fire.
What do you do when you haven't felt God in awhile? What do you do when you feel yourself slipping away? In this week's message, Pastor Noah Herrin dives into some very real questions that most of us try to act like we dont have. Maybe God hasn't left you - maybe we simply need a persepctive change.
The question is not whether or not trials are going to come. The question is: How are you going to respond to them. God is not asking what you see. He's asking if you have the vision to believe beyond what you see. In this week's message, Pastor Noah Herrin dives into what it means to truly experience revival.
Follwiong Jesus takes courage. That's why the enemy tries to discourage us. If you decide to follow Jesus, disocuragement is on it's way. How do we fight it? In this week's message, Pastor Noah Herrin dives in to discouragement and what god has given us to fight it.
Have you ever mis-read a situation? Maybe mis-read a person? Often times, the person we misread the most can be God himself. We mis-read what he wants FOR us and we can misread what he wants FROM us. In Pastor Noah Herrin's latest message "Free Hugs", we take a look at some common misconceptions of following Jesus.
Faith is an important word. But do we truly know whar faith looks like? Sometimes your plan B is the very thing keeping you from having the kind of faith that moves mountains. Listen to this new message from Pastor Noah on faith - "Plan B".
Have you ever felt like you were being re-routed? All you want is to take the next step in your life in the right direction but you are waiting on something to tell you where to step? Maybe the re-routing that your feeling is simply God waiting on you to drop some things first.
It's easy to forget things. But we can't forget God's promises to us. In this week's message - Pastor Noah Herrin talks about the tragedy of being promised something incredible and forgetting all about it. Maybe when you think it couldnt be any worse, you're on the edge of your destiny.
Have you ever been called out? It's not normally the most fun experience. Have you ever been called out by God? Maybe it's not to put you down - but to raise you up.
Nobody likes to be interrupted. We don't like to think of God as an interruptimng God. But maybe that interruption is exactly what you are needing.
When you are called something over and over again, you start to beleive what you've been called. Names tend to stick. What have you been calling yourself lately? Maybe you feel disconnected because the name you've given yourself doesn't match the one God's given you.
Have you ever felt like you weren't really sure where you belonged? You don't really know who you are? Our very own Torry Sheppard dives into these very feelings in his message "Identity Crisis".

Can you step before you can see where your feet will land? It's Stepping Season.
A message by Pastor Noah Herrin at the Gathering Conference. February 17th, 2018.
Have you ever had a break through only to find yourself facing another tough situation right afterwards? It might not be a stop sign - it might be time to go faster than ever. You've got 4 stones left.
Have you ever felt disconnected from God? Like it's been awhile since you've heard from him? Maybe it's simply a misconception about who God is. Maybe we are just looking for him in the wrong places.
Being buried and being planted look the exact same when they happen. But they are very differnt things. In one you are buried to die - but in the other, you are buried to live. You might feel like you've been buried. But God's not done with you yet.
Have you ever felt like you were going through a storm? A situation in your life that was causing you anxiety and distress every day? Have you ever felt like in the middle of that storm Jesus fell asleep on you? What do you do when you're in the middle of a storm and it seems like Jesus is sleeping? When it seems like he might not even care? Maybe, it's time to go to sleep.
Dreams. Most of the time when we have dreams they don't last long. A week. A month. Maybe a Year. What happens when a dream sticks around? What should we do when we can't get the dream out of our head? What can we expect to happen when we have a big dream? How long will it take for us to see the dream fulfilled? Sometimes, it just takes a Storm.
Have you ever felt too messed up for God? Have you ever felt like the thing you did yesterday disqualifys you from what God is trying to do today? Maybe we don't need to be perfect, we just need to know someone who is.
Have you ever felt really close to God only to feel super far away shortly after? Have you ever felt freed from sin only to find yourself dealing with the exact same things just weeks later? Have you ever felt like following Jesus was an exhausting cycle? Maybe the key to breaking the cycle isn's something you can do. Maybe it's something that was already done.
Do you ever feel like you've been sleep walking through life? Do you ever feel like you've been sleep walking through your relationship with Jesus? Maybe you've simply been following Jesus in an environment that you weren't meant to.
Have you ever been so close to quitting something? Felt like things just seem out of control? Maybe the thing you're thinking about quitting on tonight is the thing God is going to show up through tomorrow.
