Timber Creek Church: Recent Episodes
Jeremy Yancey
This is the official podcast of Timber Creek Church featuring Sunday morning sermons, midweek services, and leadership talks.
What you trust will always shape how you live. In this message from the Book of James, we're challenged to look beyond what we say we believe and examine what our lives are actually revealing. Because faith isn't proven by what we claim, it's revealed by what we hold onto, what we're willing to release, and ultimately, who truly has our heart.
Most of us trust God with eternity... but still try to control tomorrow. In this message from Pastor Jerod, we're challenged to stop asking God to bless our plans and start surrendering to His because obedience isn't someday, it's today.
Potential doesn't grow by accident—it grows because someone sees it first. On Next Gen Sunday, Pastor Michael Southerland explores the life of Samuel and challenges us to recognize, encourage, and invest in the God-given potential of the next generation... and the people already around us.
Judgment is easy to recognize when someone else is doing it. It's much harder when it's hiding in our own hearts. In this message from James, Pastor Chris invites us to look beyond everyone else's faults and wrestle with a few questions that just might change the way we see Jesus, ourselves, and the people around us.
Surrender isn't just giving something up—it's making room for something better. Pastor Zach opens James 4 and challenges us to stop clinging to our old ways so God can shape us into who He's called us to be.
Conflict makes it easy to focus on what they said, what they did, and what they need to fix. But James turns the mirror around and asks a much harder question: what if the fight out there is revealing something at war in here? Because sometimes the argument isn’t the real issue—it’s just where the real issue shows up.
We've all said something we wish we could take back. But what if your words aren't the real problem? In week two of season two of our James series, Pastor Jeremy explores how the tongue doesn't just reveal what's on our minds—it exposes what's happening in our hearts.
Artificial intelligence can imitate a lot of things. Artificial faith can too. In week seven of our James series, Pastor Jeremy unpacks how genuine faith produces something imitation faith never can—and why James calls us to examine the fruit of our lives, not just the words of our mouths.
Most of us know we're supposed to love our neighbor. The harder question is: what happens when mercy becomes inconvenient? In week six of our James series, Pastor Jeremy unpacks a story from Jesus that challenges our assumptions, exposes our blind spots, and reminds us that compassion is more than a feeling—it's something we choose to do.
We often think blessing is something we wait on God to do. What if blessing is also connected to what God is waiting on us to do? In week five of our James series, Pastor Jeremy walks through a practical pattern from James that can change the way we hear, respond to, and experience God's work in our lives.
The quickest way to damage a relationship isn't always what you say—sometimes it's what you never stopped long enough to hear. In week four of our James series, Pastor Jeremy explores why listening is harder than it sounds and why our strongest reactions often reveal our deepest issues.
In week three of our James series, Pastor Jeremy dives into the invisible battle happening beneath the surface of our everyday lives. Why do we drift, struggle, rationalize, doubt, and feel stuck in the same cycles over and over again—and how do we actually stand firm when life and pressure hit hard? Because sometimes the greatest battle isn’t just what’s happening around you… it’s the lies trying to take root inside you.
In this message from the book of James, guest speaker Matt Battista reframes suffering through a picture most of us would never choose—but all of us eventually face. Because sometimes the seasons that feel the driest are the very places where God is growing the deepest roots.
If you’ve been walking through pressure, pain, or a season that just feels hard, this message will challenge the way you see it—and remind you that God may be producing something sweeter than you realize on the other side.
In week one of our new series through the book of James, Pastor Jeremy unpacks why this book hits so differently when life gets difficult. Because when pressure rises, faith stops being theoretical and starts becoming visible. This message challenges the drift so many of us settle into and asks a hard question: are we actually growing into maturity, or just getting better at looking spiritual?
In the conclusion of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy gets brutally honest about the small things that slowly take relationships out—and why most of them don’t look dangerous at first. Because it’s not usually one big moment… it’s what builds over time. If you’ve ever wondered how something good can quietly drift in the wrong direction, this message will help you recognize it—and show you what to do before it’s too late.
In week three of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy steps into the ring and walks through relationships round by round—starting with what’s really behind our communication and why conflict shows up in the first place. Because the goal isn’t to avoid the fight, it’s to understand what you’re actually fighting for. If your conversations keep turning into the same battles, this message gives you a better way to step in, stay in it, and come out stronger on the other side.
In week two of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy uses the picture of a cake to show what makes relationships truly sweet—and why some leave a bad taste. Because you can ice it, decorate it, and make it look perfect on the outside, but if the layers underneath aren’t right, it won’t hold. If something in your relationship feels off but you can’t quite name it, this message helps you cut into what’s really going on beneath the surface.
What’s the single most important thing you can do for your relationships? In week one of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy challenges the way we usually answer that question and shifts the focus closer to home. Because the breakthrough you’re looking for in your relationships might not start with them—it might start with you.
In this Easter message, Pastor Jeremy shows how easy it is for any of us to drift—and why the answer isn’t trying harder, but choosing something deeper than happiness. When life feels out of control, joy becomes the anchor that holds. If you’ve lost it—or never really had it—this message points you back to where it’s found and what it actually means to live as a child of God.
In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jeremy challenges the way we think about what belongs to us — and what actually belongs to God. If He’s the author and authority of your life, then everything you have is already His… the question is whether you’re willing to release it. What is God asking from you right now — and will you actually say yes?
This past weekend, guest speaker Dr. Scott Hagan unpacked a powerful line from Psalm 42 that compares our souls to a deer desperately searching for water. What sounds poetic at first is actually a picture of drought — a deep, internal thirst that nothing around us can satisfy. Through David’s words, we were reminded that life with God isn’t just about passion or energy. It’s about a deeper longing for His presence, the one thing our souls truly need, no matter what else we have.
In the finale of our Act Like Men series, Pastor Jeremy reminds us that strength without love is failure. Looking at 1 Corinthians 13, we’re challenged to ask a deeper question: does love actually define the way we live, lead, and speak? Because at the end of the day, the real test of a man isn’t what he accomplishes, it’s how he loves the people closest to him.
In part five of Act Like Men, Pastor Jeremy lays out four clear indicators of a strong man — not culture’s version, but Christ’s: Sabbath, perseverance, humility, and service. Because the real test of strength isn’t what you build in this life… it’s what they’ll say when you’re gone.
In part four of Act Like Men, Pastor Chris reframed what strength really is. Through the story of Jabez, we saw a man who refused to let pain define him and instead built his life on blessing, presence, and protection through prayer. Because strength isn’t proven in what you can lift — it’s revealed in what you rely on.
In part three of our Act Like Men series, Pastor Jeremy reminded us that men don’t drift into strength, they fight for it. We fight for the right foundation, the right identity, and the right atmosphere in our homes. If we’re going to stand when it counts, we don’t rely on willpower, we put on the armor of God. We dress for battle daily. And we refuse to fight the enemy with timidity.
In Part 2 of Act Like Men, Pastor Jeremy pulls back the curtain on a reality most men would rather ignore—we’re not just drifting, we’re in a fight. This message exposes the subtle ways the enemy works to wear men down, distract them, and pull them off responsibility without ever sounding the alarm. If you’ve ever felt pressure, resistance, or quiet defeat creeping in, the question isn’t if you’re in the battle—it’s whether you’re fighting it the right way.
God created men with responsibility, purpose, and authority—but those were the first things the enemy went after. When we start questioning God’s Word, His work, or His worth, things quietly begin to drift in our faith, our relationships, and our work. The real question is this: what does it actually look like to act like a man in a world that keeps redefining it?
God is not just enough—He is more than enough, even in the moments that feel irredeemable. In this Revival Night message, we wrestle with grace that meets us at our lowest, a Father who still gives good gifts, and a faith that believes God can bring life where loss once defined the story. This is a powerful reminder that no past is too heavy and no situation is beyond what God can restore.
In a moment when the crowd least expected it, Jesus stood up and made a statement that cut through the noise. In this message from John 7, guest speaker Lacey Hartman invites us to sit with that moment—and the deeper question it exposes about what we’re really relying on to sustain us. Sometimes the things we reach for most are the very things leaving us empty.
Faith doesn’t always look loud or confident—sometimes it looks like pushing through the crowd, reaching out, and refusing to let the moment pass. In Mark 5:21–43, we’re reminded that real faith takes action, even when fear, delay, or doubt are pressing in. The question is simple: what would happen if you trusted Jesus enough to reach for Him anyway?
Ever open the Bible with good intentions… and end up feeling a little lost? Pastor Jeremy introduces SPACEPETS—a simple way to stay grounded, ask better questions, and actually let Scripture shape your life instead of just staring at the page.
What if understanding the Bible was simpler than you’ve been led to believe? In this message, Pastor Jeremy uses a creative, hands-on visual to show how the whole story of Scripture fits together and why it actually matters for everyday life.
What if one simple habit could quietly change the direction of your life? In part one of 'What You Need To Know To Know What You Need To Know', Pastor Jeremy unpacks why prayer isn’t optional—and how practicing God’s presence reshapes everything else.
Dark days have a way of disorienting us—especially this time of year. In our Christmas Candlelight service, Pastor Jeremy talks about why light doesn’t avoid the darkness, it enters it—and what that means for the places in our lives that feel heavy, quiet, or uncertain.
Christmas is full of things we unwrap, but the most meaningful gifts are often unseen. In our Big Christmas service, Pastor Jeremy reflects on the gifts God gives—and why they still matter long after the Christmas season fades.
Every year, one tree is hand-selected to stand in the middle of New York City to carry the weight of being the most iconic Christmas tree in the world. That story becomes a mirror for how God chooses, shapes, and places our lives with purpose. Being chosen is only the beginning… what happens next is up to you.
This week we looked at the surprising connection between happiness and how we relate to the people around us. Gratitude, prayer, generosity, and love aren’t holiday sentiments—they’re habits that actually shape how we experience joy.
If happiness is a choice, what are the choices that help us grow it?
This week we walked through the story of Joseph and uncovered something surprising: our biggest battle isn’t unforgiveness toward others—it’s the fear that we’re still unforgiven. Joseph’s response to his brothers shows what a life looks like when grace finally sinks in. What changes when you actually believe God isn’t holding anything against you?
In Part 7 of Clarity, we challenged some of the modern assumptions about what church is and what church is for. When it shifts from something we attend to something we live, everything changes. What if the difference you’re looking for begins with the role you play?
In part six of Clarity, we talked about one of the most surprising things Jesus ever said — that the Holy Spirit is actually a staggering improvement to a face-to-face conversation with Him. Sounds wild, right? But that’s the kind of help we’ve been given — not distant advice, but a personal counselor who guides, convicts, and reminds us what’s true when everything else gets loud.
In part five of Clarity, we revisited the foundations of faith that have grounded followers of Jesus for centuries. When culture keeps rewriting the story, these truths remind us who God is and who we are. And at the center of it all isn’t a statement, but a Savior.
In part four of Clarity, we looked at the question Jesus asked that still divides opinions and defines eternity: “Who do you say I am?” Every answer reveals something about who we believe He is—and who we believe we are. Because if Jesus really is Savior, King, and Lord, then the real question isn’t who is He?—it’s who is He to you?
In part three of Clarity, we’re unpacking how what you believe about God shapes everything you believe about yourself. He’s not a distant boss but a Creator who forms, a Shepherd who protects, and a Father who calls you His own. The question is—are you living like you know who He really is?
In part two of Clarity, we’re unpacking why the Bible isn’t just an ancient book—it’s the most reliable foundation for truth in a shifting world. From its unity and accuracy to how it’s stood every test of time, God’s Word has proven itself over and over again. The question is: if it’s that trustworthy, why do we still hesitate to build our lives on it?
In part one of Clarity, we’re diving into how to hold on to truth in a world that keeps trying to bend it. God’s Word isn’t evolving, and neither is His call for us to defend it with both conviction and compassion. The challenge isn’t just knowing the truth—it’s letting it shape how we live, love, and lead every day.
This week Pastor Jeremy joins Pastor Chris to wrap up At the Movies with Unsung Hero. From 90’s Christian hits to a family learning what it means to anchor their identity in Christ, we’re unpacking the moments that hit hardest. Plus, we’ll look ahead to our brand-new series Clarity and a special Revival Night this Sunday.
In this week’s At the Movies: Director’s Cut, Pastor Chris is joined by Worship Pastor Steven Welch for a conversation on Boys in the Boat. Together they unpack how eight ordinary men learned to row as one—and what it teaches us about the kind of community our lives were built for.
In this week’s installment of At the Movies: Director’s Cut, Pastor Chris is joined by Janet Yancey and Courtney Mendoza for a behind-the-scenes conversation on Saving Mr. Banks. Together they unpack how our past shapes us, what it takes to let go, and why God’s promises are stronger than the ones that have been broken.
Welcome to the very first Director’s Cut — the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of our At the Movies series. Think of it like the bonus features: a place for extra conversation and untold insights you won’t hear on Sunday. Week 1 begins with Gran Turismo, as Pastor Chris is joined by Pastor Jeremy to take you behind the curtain of the message and the movie.
In the finale of Upside-Down Summer, we’re exploring how the Beatitudes are more than just words to make us better people—they’re a call to become better servants. From living as salt and light to loving and discipling others, it’s about letting what God is doing in us flow outward into the world around us. The real question is: what needs to change in you today so others can see Him through you?
In part ten of Upside-Down Summer, we asked a simple question: if nothing is changing in your life, is Jesus really guiding your life? Following Him isn’t about believing something new—it’s about becoming someone new. So what if the change you’ve been waiting for starts with the choice you make today?
In part nine of Upside-Down Summer, we looked at what happens when culture says “go” but God says “no.” Persecution isn’t proof you’re failing—it’s proof you’re following. But the real question is: when the fire comes, will it break your faith or build it?
In part eight of our Upside-Down Summer series, we redefined peace—not as the absence of problems, but as the presence that steadies you in the middle of them. Could it be that the biggest threat to your peace isn’t what’s happening around you, but what’s happening within you?
In part seven of Upside-Down Summer, we flipped the script on purity—and let’s just say, not everything that looks appealing is worth pouring into your life. Jesus said the pure in heart will see God, but a clear view of Him starts with a clean heart. We learn that what’s in the cup matters more than how it’s served.
In part six of Upside Down Summer, we flipped the script on mourning—not as weakness or despair, but as a sign that God is at work in us. Whether it’s grief over our own sin, the brokenness around us, or the pain we carry, Jesus promises comfort—and a deeper compassion on the other side.
In part five of Upside Down Summer, we flipped the script on what strength really looks like. It’s not about power plays or proving your worth—it’s about quiet confidence, surrendered hearts, and the kind of strength that knows when to hold back. Because in God’s kingdom, strength isn’t about control—it’s about surrender.
In part four of "Upside Down Summer", we flip the script on what it means to be “good enough.” Culture says perform, religion says pretend, but Jesus offers a righteousness that’s already been paid for.
In part three of "Upside-Down Summer" we explored how showing mercy isn’t just a nice idea—it’s central to the way Jesus calls us to live. A "mercy-full" life doesn’t ignore the hurt, but it refuses to let bitterness win. In a culture that cancels, critiques, and keeps score, we explored what it means to flip the script by choosing mercy.
Most of us spend our lives trying to prove we’re enough—at work, at home, even with God. But in week two of Upside Down Summer, we’re reminded that the blessed life doesn’t start with having it all together—it starts with knowing you don’t. Jesus calls it being “poor in spirit,” and it just might be the most freeing place to live from.
In this kickoff to Upside-Down Summer, we’re climbing a mountain that flips everything we thought we knew about blessing. Jesus challenges our assumptions, corrects our thinking, and invites us into a kind of joy the world can’t offer and circumstances can’t take. So what if the blessed life isn’t out there somewhere—but right where you’ve been called to stay?
On this Father’s Day, we look at how frustration, failure, and disruption aren’t the end of the story—they’re often the setup for something greater. When life knocks you down, God’s invitation is simple: Look up. What if your future is still wide open, even after the mess?
In the finale of Homerun, we looked at the life of Joseph—“Colorful Joe”—and what it means to be a franchise player when life doesn't go according to plan. Joseph faced family drama, tough jobs, and people who forgot him—but he stayed faithful. Because favor isn’t about what happens to you—it’s about how you run when life gets hard.
In this week’s installment of Homerun, we ask: What if your job isn't just what you do, but who you're becoming while you do it? This message challenges how we show up at work—and who we're really working for.
In week three of "Homerun", we talk about how to hold on to what matters most—especially when life starts pulling you in every direction. How do you make sure the people who matter most don’t get pushed to the side?
You can’t truly win on the outside if you’re losing on the inside. In this message, we’re unpacking how to fight the quiet battle for your identity, push past the enemy’s oldest lies, and get to first base the only way that really works—by drawing strength from the truth.
What makes a home run life? This week, we’re stepping up to the plate and breaking down how to truly win—not just in what you do, but in who you are, how you treat others, and how you depend on God every step of the way.
This week Pastor Jeremy explores what it really means to build your life around the way of Jesus. Could the practices of Jesus be the missing pieces in the pace and pressure of everyday life?
What are you really searching for this Easter? In the middle of the noise, the pressure, and the uncertainty, this week’s message helps us slow down and ask the question beneath all the others—and it just might change what, or who, you see.
In the finale of Peace of Mind, we’re tackling one of the most familiar yet frustrating struggles—worry. It shows up quietly, but it can shape how we think, live, and even see ourselves… so what if the way out of worry has less to do with what you’re facing and more to do with where you’re rooted?
In this week’s installment of Peace of Mind, we’re talking about something that quietly steals our peace but loudly shapes our relationships—unresolved conflict. If you’ve ever struggled with pride, fear, or just not knowing where to start, this message just might give you the tools (and the courage) to pursue peace on purpose.
If you’ve ever felt like life took the long way around—like you’re wandering through dry places, unsure where God is leading—this week’s message might speak straight to you. We’re exploring how the wilderness, though uncomfortable, can actually be where God speaks the clearest… and where His peace starts to take root.
Behind every “I’m fine” might be a spirit that’s quietly breaking. In this week's installment of Peace of Mind, we’re digging into what it really means to have a crushed spirit—and how healing begins not with perfection, but with honesty.
In this week’s installment of Peace of Mind, we’re talking about the war anxiety wages on our lives—and the way we fight back. Anxiety fills our inbox with messages of fear and failure, but what if we stopped letting it dictate the narrative?
In the opening installment of "Peace of Mind", we’re confronting the darkness that so many wrestle with—mental and emotional struggles that are often minimized, dramatized, or stigmatized. But what if getting help isn’t weakness, but wisdom? And what if perfect peace isn’t about escaping problems, but about something far greater?
In this week’s installment of ALL IN, we’re talking about climbing the ladder—but whose ladder are you really on? Pastor Jeremy unpacks what it means to trust God with what we have, challenging us to rethink what we keep, what we give, and how we handle it all. Too often, we make giving just a transaction, but God designed it to be something so much bigger—something transformational.
This week we discover how our everyday choices with money can reveal a deeper heart issue inside all of us. Pastor Jeremy invites us to explore a blueprint that turns every transaction into a step toward true freedom and purpose. It’s a call to reexamine our hearts and habits—finding a path where every dollar echoes a higher calling.
This week, Pastor Jeremy kicked off ALL IN with a compelling reminder: God owns everything—except our hearts. The way we honor Him is by giving Him all of what He’s given us the choice to keep. Are we truly trusting Him with everything, or are we just giving Him an “honorable mention”?
On this Dream Team Sunday, we’re flipping the script on what greatness really looks like. What if true victory comes not from pushing harder, but from letting go? The answer might surprise you—and it just might change how you lead, serve, and win.
Some things take time to grow, but when planted in the right place, they flourish. Pastor Jeremy cast vision for 2025, reminding us that God can do more than we imagine when we stay rooted in Him. So, what step will you take to be part of what God is doing?
To close out Revival Nights, guest speaker Jon Rush shares with us a message titled, “I’ve Got Some Bad News”. We’re looking at the hard truth Jesus brings—the kind that shakes things up before setting things right. If you want to experience the life He offers, you first have to accept the truth He speaks. What part of your life needs turning upside down?
Night three of Revival Nights features guest speaker Greg Ford confronting one of the hardest challenges Jesus gives us—loving our enemies and forgiving the unforgivable. But what if the key to real forgiveness isn’t trying harder, but seeing differently? What might change if you could see what Jesus sees?
Guest Speaker Destiny Deas shared a powerful message from Matthew 18 on forgiveness as the ultimate story reset. Together, we explored how the Holy Spirit fills us with joy, peace, and hope when we align our lives with God’s purpose. Don’t let the enemy steal your hope—let it overflow and transform your story!
To kick off our first Revival Night, guest speaker Scott Wilson explores how anxiety can take over the control room of our minds and distort our thinking, leading us down a path of fear and insecurity. He shares how to break free by recognizing lies, rejecting them, and replacing them with God's truth. What if the biggest battle you face isn’t around you, but within you? Put your AirPods in your ears, not your mouth, and enjoy! 😉
This week, as we kick off Revival Nights, guest speaker Scott Wilson shares powerful insights from John 11 and the story of Lazarus—reminding us that God is always at work, even when it feels too late. When you're facing life's messy middle, what if God is preparing something greater than you ever imagined?
In this week’s installment of Stacking Dominos, we explored how consistency and wisdom work together to help us thrive in life’s realities. Plus, we took a live spiritual snapshot to reflect on where we are—so... how’s it going for you?
In this week’s installment of Stacking Dominos, we’re breaking down three ways our lives can take shape—drifting, driven, or designed—and how each one impacts our daily choices. What might change if you embraced the power of consistency to build a life designed for growth?
This Sunday Pastor Karen Yancey helped us kick off our new series, Stacking Dominos. Weexplored Exodus 25 and the powerful truths behind carrying God’s presence. Discover how this Holy Assignment inspires purpose, unites generations, and strengthens our commitment to honor His name with resilience and durability!
This Christmas, we reflect on the wonder of saying "yes" to God, just as Mary did when faced with the unexpected. We are reminded how small steps of obedience can lead to miracles that transform our lives and make an eternal impact.
In this week’s message, Pastor Jeremy Yancey serves up a slice of wisdom to help you navigate the holiday season with grace. When emotions feel out of control, it’s time to bake in some peace and dish out encouragement. Using the P.I.E.S. method, you’ll learn how to flip the script on negativity and honor God with what you’re bringing to the table. Ready to serve up something sweeter this season?
In this week’s installment of Queen's Gambit, we’re diving into a powerful truth about how to break free from the hidden struggles within us. Could the greatest battles we face be happening inside our own hearts? We find out what it truly means to find rest from your enemies.
In this week’s installment of Queens Gambit, we explore how pride can deceive and destroy without warning. We uncover the two faces of pride and its dangerous grip—along with the surprising cure that offers freedom.
In this week’s installment of Queen’s Gambit, we confront the questions that define our lives—what are we pursuing, and what are we afraid of losing? With a bold challenge to step into our unrealized purpose, we’re invited to consider: are we protecting what truly matters, or could we be missing the bigger mission?
This week’s message unpacks how God positions people in pivotal roles, like Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, to carry out His master plan—even when it intersects with political influence. As we approach decisions about who to vote for, could God be inviting us to filter our choices through a faith that prioritizes His kingdom above all?
In this week’s installment of The Queen’s Gambit: Part 3, we explore how to navigate a world with vastly different values and views through the story of Esther. How do we follow Jesus when we feel the pull to withdraw, blend in, or criticize everything around us?
In part two of "Queen's Gambit", Pastor Jeremy contrasts the values of earthly kingdoms with those of God's Kingdom. We discover how blessing is found in spiritual poverty, righteousness, and dependence on Jesus, the ultimate King.
In part one of Queen's Gambit, Pastor Jeremy begins a study into the Book of Esther, introducing the strategic roles of key figures like Xerxes, Vashti, Esther, and more. Through this lens, we discover how God’s unseen hand orchestrates every move, and that when it seems that life has us at checkmate, the one true king always has one more move.
In this week’s message, Pastor Jeremy unpacks the power of the Holy Spirit in shaping our lives and gifts, reminding us that we are called to share what we’ve been given. What if living with a grander vision and surrendering our lives could change not just us, but the world around us?
In this week's installment of Hello My Name is Holy Spirit, we’re talking about what baptism really means and how there are three different types of baptism that Christ-followers can experience. Ever wonder if there’s more you could be experiencing in your faith? Maybe it’s time to ask God for all that He wants to give you.
In this week’s installment of "Hello, My Name is Holy Spirit," we explore the tension between understanding the Holy Spirit as more than just a doctrine or power, but as a divine person seeking intimacy with us. We’ll also unpack how the "DIRT" plays a crucial role in deepening our relationship with the Spirit. What does it look like to cultivate a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives?
In the first installment of Hello, My Name is Holy Spirit, we reintroduce ourselves to the Holy Spirit and His presence in our lives. Discover what the Holy Spirit might want to show you, speak to you, and how He desires to reach and work through you.
When people see your face, what are they actually seeing? In this week’s message 'Shirley, Show It,' Pastor Jeremy explores what it means to reflect the full weight of who God is by examining the four faces of God's glory that are mentioned in scripture. What do these faces reveal about God's glory and how can we reflect it in our lives?
How can recognizing "enough" transform your life? In the final installment of our “X” series, we’re diving into the 10th Commandment, focusing on the meaning and impact of coveting. We’ll explore how this commandment relates to contentment and why learning to be content is essential for our well-being.
Our reality is affected by the words we say to one another and to ourselves. In this week’s installment of “X” we look at the ninth commandment, “Do not lie about your neighbor.” We’ll explore the reasons behind our deceit, the role truth plays in our lives, and how our words shape the world around us.
Why do we steal, and what deeper issues does it reveal about our trust in God? In "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers," Pastor Dan Chanowski explores the root causes of stealing and how living generously according to biblical principles can transform your life.
In this week's episode of our "X" series, we're tackling one of the toughest topics out there: adultery. Whether it's something you've faced or something you haven't given much thought to, this commandment impacts everyone differently. How can understanding God's perspective on adultery and embracing Jesus' solution change our lives and relationships for the better?
This weekend Pastor Jeremy explores the sixth commandment, which is all about murder. Seems like most of us are in the clear on that one right? Well in this message we learn how this commandment is not just about murder but also how anger and offense can escalate into hate and violence.
In this week's message, we're exploring the importance of honoring our parents and how it shapes all our relationships. We'll uncover why this command is crucial for personal and national stability and how it applies differently at various stages of life. Ever wondered how family dynamics influence the bigger picture?
In a world where we're busier than ever, how do we reclaim the gift of Sabbath? In this week's message, Pastor Stephen Courtney explores four essential practices that can transform our frantic lives into ones filled with peace and joy. Discover how stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping can transform your life.
This week, we're exploring why names, especially God's name, hold significant weight. We'll look into the impact of using His name carelessly and the steps we can take to honor it properly. What does it truly mean to revere the name of God in every aspect of your life?
This week, we're exploring a powerful message from Pastor Jeremy called "A Common Craving for Carvings." We'll unpack how our deepest cravings for safety, certainty, and strength often lead us to idolatry and how Jesus offers the perfect answer. Have you ever wondered what truly fulfills our deepest desires? Check out part three in our series "X: The Ten Commandments".
In this week's message, Pastor Jeremy looks into the heart of the first commandment: putting no other gods before God Himself. We explore what it really means to make God the top priority in our lives—every decision, every dollar, and every relationship. Are you ready to take a closer look at your own priorities?
