In Week 3 of Built Different, Pastor Ethan Harris closes the series by looking at 2 Peter 1:5–8 and the progression Peter gives us for a faith that grows into real, Christlike love.

Peter knew what it felt like to fail, deny Jesus, and feel unworthy. But Jesus met him right where he was, restored him, and called him into a life of purpose. That same invitation is for us today.

When we supplement our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love, we become people who are not ineffective or unfruitful. We become people who love like Jesus, serve like Jesus, and show the world that we are truly built different.

In Week 2 of Built Different, Pastor Grayson Parker walks through 2 Peter 1 and challenges us to examine whether our faith is producing real fruit or just looking good from a distance.

Using the life of Daniel, this message unpacks the importance of self-control, steadfastness, and godliness. Real faith is not about perfection or performance. It is about consistently choosing obedience, remaining faithful when life gets hard, and becoming more like Jesus every day.

Are you producing real fruit, or just fake fruit?

In week one of our Built Different series, Jacob walks through 2 Peter 1:5-8 and challenges us to examine whether our faith is truly producing change in our lives.

Faith is the foundation, but Scripture calls us to add virtue — living with excellence, purpose, and obedience. If we are going to be set apart as followers of Jesus, our faith cannot stay hidden, passive, or comfortable. It should move us to action, help us stand firm in the storms, and push us to live differently in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.

This message is a reminder that we are not called to simply know more about God. We are called to live for Him with boldness, excellence, and faith that produces real change.

In this final message from the Book of Daniel, we explore one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in all of Scripture—Daniel 11. Through more than a century of world history foretold in advance, God reveals that He remains sovereign over kings, kingdoms, conflicts, and the future of His people.

Daniel's message is as relevant now as it was nearly 2,500 years ago: God is in control of history, spiritual battles are real, and those who know their God can stand firm in any generation.

In this final message from the Book of Daniel, we explore one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in all of Scripture—Daniel 11.

Daniel's message is as relevant now as it was nearly 2,500 years ago: God is in control of history, spiritual battles are real, and those who know their God can stand firm in any generation.

This message from Daniel 10 reminds us that there is a spiritual battle taking place that we cannot always see, but we are not alone in it. Through Daniel’s example of prayer, fasting, and faithfulness, we are encouraged to slow down, seek God, and trust that He is working even when we do not yet see the answer.

When Daniel found himself in a season of mourning, confusion, and waiting, he did not rush to fix the problem in his own strength. Instead, he humbled himself before God and sought Him through prayer and fasting. This passage reminds us that our battles are not only physical or emotional, but spiritual. Because of that, we need spiritual weapons.

No matter what battle you may be facing, this message is a reminder that God hears, God sees, and God is working. Even when the answer feels delayed, His presence is near, His power is greater, and His victory is secure.

In this message from Daniel 9, Pastor Dean walks through one of the most debated passages in Scripture: Daniel’s seventy weeks. As Daniel prays for repentance and restoration, Gabriel reveals a prophetic timeline that ultimately points us to Jesus, the new covenant, and the finished work of the cross.

This teaching explores Daniel’s prayer, the exile in Babylon, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the end of the sacrificial system, and why everything in Scripture points to Jesus. Pastor Dean also challenges us to let the Bible shape our understanding of culture, politics, suffering, and the end times, not movies, social media, or popular opinion.

Whether you have studied Daniel for years or are hearing this passage for the first time, this message will encourage you to read God’s Word carefully, trust what it says, and live in obedience to Jesus.

What happens when you truly trust God with your future?

In this message from Daniel 8, we are reminded that God has always been in control. Kingdoms rise and fall, culture changes, and the world feels uncertain, but none of it surprises Him.

Daniel received visions of things far beyond his understanding, yet his response was simple: he got up and went about the king’s business.

That same challenge is for us today. Instead of living consumed by fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, we can live with confidence because Jesus has already secured the victory.

If God was faithful then, He is still faithful now.

What does it look like to live faithfully in a chaotic world?

In this message, we walk through Daniel 6 and 7, covering the story of Daniel in the lion’s den and the vision that reveals God’s plan for the future.

Daniel was not a young man when he faced the lions. He was older and still faithful. Even under pressure, he refused to hide his relationship with God. His life shows us that faith is not meant to be private. It is meant to be lived out where others can see it.

We also explore Daniel’s vision in chapter 7, where kingdoms rise and fall, but one truth remains clear. God is still on the throne, His kingdom will never end, and everything points to Jesus.

Key Takeaways:

- Faithfulness matters

- Your witness impacts others

- God is in control even when the world feels chaotic

- Following Jesus involves pressure, not comfort

- Jesus is King and His kingdom will not be destroyed

What happens when you know the truth but choose to ignore it?

In this message from Daniel 5, we walk through the story of King Belshazzar and the moment known as the handwriting on the wall. This is not just history. It is a warning about pride, about treating what is holy as common, and about what happens when we reject what we already know is true.

Belshazzar had seen what God did in the life of Nebuchadnezzar. He knew the truth. Instead of humbling himself, he chose pride, and it cost him everything.

This message challenges us to ask a direct question. Are we living like Daniel or like Belshazzar?

In this message, you will learn:

- Why knowing God is not the same as following God

- The danger of pride and informed rebellion

- What it means to treat holy things with honor

- How God’s patience works and where the limit is

- How this story applies to our lives today

God’s Word always comes to pass. The question is how you will respond.
