If fear has been driving your decisions lately, this one's for you. You're not weak for feeling it, but you don't have to obey it.Pastor Evan unpacks why fear isn't a feeling to manage but a spirit to resist, and why the way out of it isn't just standing still, it's moving forward. Drawing on the story of Israel at the Red Sea, this message shows how fear convinces us the past was safer than it really was, and how praise, declared faith, and a few "crazy" faith buddies can break loose something willpower never could. If you've ever made a decision out of panic instead of peace, this message will meet you right there.

There's a version of faith that hides in the crowd and calls it humility. This message is for the person who knows they're playing it safe and is ready to stop.

In Playlist — Part 6, Pastor Nate preaches from Mark 2 anchored around Brandon Lake's "Tear Off the Roof" — and the question running through the whole message is simple and uncomfortable: if the King really is in the house, why are we still standing at the door? The four friends who dug through a roof to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus didn't ask permission, didn't worry about the optics, and didn't wait for a better moment. They had a faith without a ceiling. This message names what actually holds most of us back — not unbelief, but self-awareness — and calls us back to something more urgent and more real.

You didn't just make some mistakes. You were dead, and you didn't even know it. This message is for anyone still wondering if the old version of them is the real one.In Playlist Part 5, Kevin Fletcher shares his own story of growing up without any real faith and the slow, unglamorous way Jesus found him. This message is about what it actually means to be raised from spiritual death, not just forgiven, but given a new life entirely. If you've ever felt like your past still has a grip on you, or like being "better" isn't the same as being "new," this one will reframe how you see your own story.

You're not just raising kids. You're leaving them a playlist. And it's already playing.In Playlist Part 2, Pastor Nate walks through one of the most convicting questions a parent can sit with: not what are you teaching your children, but what are they watching you choose? This message reframes parenting away from performance and perfection and toward something more honest that our kids are inheriting our atmospheres, our habits, our responses, and our relationship with God. If you're a parent who feels the weight of influence but also the reality of falling short, this one is for you.

Have you ever looked around and felt like there's so much need, so many people who don't know Jesus, and wondered what you could possibly do about it?

In this message, Pastor Nate looks at what Jesus said about the harvest: it's plentiful, but the laborers are few. He walks through what it means to actually pray for that, not just say it, and what it looks like to be ready when God opens a door for you to speak. This message is a call to see the people around you the way Jesus saw the crowds, and to ask God for the boldness and the opportunity to be part of what he's doing. If you've ever wanted to share your faith but didn't know where to start, or felt like the moment passed you by, this one is for you.

The devil hasn't learned any new tricks. He's been using the same old lies for thousands of years. The good news? Once you can spot them, you can stand against them.In this message, Kevin walks through Ephesians 6:10-18 and unpacks nine common deceptions the enemy uses to keep believers stuck: that he's not real, that you can't win, that the Bible isn't literally true, that you're not worthy, that you're too busy to work for God, and more. Each piece of the armor of God corresponds to one of these lies, and when you know the truth, you can't be deceived.If you've ever felt like you're fighting the same battles over and over, or like you've deceived yourself into walking away from something God already showed you, this message will help you put on the armor and stand firm.Find all of our sermons & series on the Beyond Church app!iOS → https://apps.apple.com/us/app/beyond-church-alma/id1668915376Android → https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subsplashconsulting.s_7Q8RJ5PREACHING JESUS.

If you've ever felt the pull to say yes to something bigger than yourself — and then wondered if it was really worth it. This message is for you.

In Playlist — Part 3, Susan Fletcher walks through her own decades-long journey of saying yes to God one hard step at a time, and asks the question that every honest believer has to sit with: is the commitment actually worth it? Drawing from Jeremiah 29, the life of Paul, and stories from Minneapolis to Belfast to Alma, Arkansas, she makes a case that your obedience doesn't just affect you — it ripples into people you haven't even met yet.

If you've ever found yourself somewhere you didn't plan to end up, wondering whether there's still a way back, this message is for you.

In Playlist — Part 1, Pastor Nate opens Beyond Church's new summer series by playing the song "When God Ran" and teaching through the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. The heart of this message is a detail most people miss in that story: the father doesn't wait at the door — he's been watching the horizon every single day, and the moment he spots his son coming he runs to him. Pastor Nate unpacks a first-century Jewish tradition called the Kezazah ceremony that reframes why that moment matters so much, because the father ran to beat public shame to his son before anyone else could get there first. If you've been staying away because you feel like too much time has passed or too much damage has been done, this one is worth your hour.

You didn't lose your mission. Someone's been trying to steal it.

The pressure you're under, the doubts that crept in, the silence that replaced your voice — none of it was random.

In Fixed Eyes — Part 9, Pastor Nate closes out the series by naming what's really been at stake the whole time: you were created to carry a message. The enemy's goal isn't just to make you miserable — it's to silence you. This message cuts through the noise of self-focus and fear of man to remind you why you're here, what you were made for, and how to get back on mission before you lose any more ground. If you've been feeling pressed, drained, or like the faith you once had has gone quiet — this one's for you.

You keep forgiving — and then you find yourself right back at the same place. This one is for you.

In Fixed Eyes — Part 9, Pastor Nate tackles the cycle most people can't seem to break: forgiving, then sliding back into blame, bitterness, or regret — toward others and toward themselves. He shows why praise isn't just a church activity — it's a weapon. It silences the accuser, anchors you to the promises of God, and gives you the staying power to actually advance instead of reverting. Using Abraham's story in Romans 4 and Isaiah 61, Pastor Nate makes the case that the answer to the cycle isn't more willpower — it's a mouth full of the right thing.
