“Take Up Your Sword” – Pastor Casey Withers | Common Ground

We’re not losing the battle because it’s too hard—we’re losing because we’re unarmed.
In this message, Pastor Nick challenges us to dust off our Bibles and fight back with the one weapon God gave us: His Word.

📖 Ephesians 6:17
🗡 The sword of the Spirit isn’t just for study. It’s for war.

If your Bible’s been sitting on the shelf, it’s time to pick it up.

Am I Really Covered? | Krystal Cox | The One Thing Series | Common Ground

What do you do when you feel exposed, distant, or unworthy?

In this powerful message, Krystal Cox walks through the deep truth that God doesn’t expose you—He covers you.
Drawing from Genesis 3, Psalm 91, and Luke 15, this message reminds us that:

• Fig leaves can’t fix what only God can cover

• His presence isn’t something you visit—it’s where you dwell

• Even when you’re far off, the Father still runs to meet you with a robe, not rejection

You’re never too far to be re-covered.

🧥 Covered. Called. Celebrated.
Welcome back home.

🔥 MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY
You’re not the lead—God is.

This generation is drowning in anxiety, burnout, and broken identity…
because we keep trying to star in a story we were never meant to carry.
You’re significant—but not central.
You weren’t made to be the hero.
You were made to reflect His glory.

In this message, Pastor Nick Henderson breaks down how self-centered faith wrecks the way we see our purpose, sin, Scripture, and the Church. It’s not about starring in your story—it’s about surrendering to His.

When We Sin | Genesis Part 7
We all mess up. The real question isn’t IF you’ll fall—it’s what you do NEXT.

In Genesis 3, we see the very first response to sin—and it wasn’t confession, it was cover-up. Adam and Eve hid, blamed, and patched instead of owning it. Thousands of years later, we’re still doing the same thing. But here’s the truth: You don’t get stuck because you fell; you get stuck because you stayed there.

🔥 Sin Reflexes:
1️⃣ Hide the Hurt – We isolate, fake it, and pretend like everything’s fine.
2️⃣ Shift the Blame – We offload responsibility to anyone but ourselves.
3️⃣ Patch the Pain – We use quick fixes to numb the guilt but never heal.

But Jesus didn’t come to patch your brokenness—He came to pay for it. What Adam and Eve tried to cover with fig leaves, Christ covered with His blood. It’s not about hiding better; it’s about being healed completely.

Join us for the Genesis Finale next Thursday! Bring a friend and don’t miss out!

Devil in the Details (The Sequel) | Revelation 12:7–11
You’re not just in a rough season. You’re in a war.
And the enemy isn’t always loud — but he is always working.

This message exposes 3 subtle tactics Satan still uses to ruin lives:
👉 Disqualification through shame
👉 Doubt that distorts God’s character
👉 Desensitization that dulls your soul

We’re not just talking temptation — we’re exposing a recycled rebellion that got him thrown out of heaven.
But here’s the good news:
🩸 Jesus already crushed every one of Satan’s tactics at the cross.
You don’t have to fight for victory — you can fight from it.

📍Join us this Thursday for Worship Night @ 7PM
A night to exalt Jesus, respond to His voice, and make hell regret your comeback.

Devil in the Details — Part 1 | Common Ground College+

You’re not just living life—you’re in a war for it.
And the most dangerous attacks aren’t loud... they’re hidden.
They show up in the doubts you ignore, the distractions you don’t notice, and the compromises you justify.

In Devil in the Details — Part 1, we exposed the enemy’s top strategies:

• Deception: He twists truth until it fits your preference.

• Distraction: He numbs you with noise.

• Division: He pulls you from the community that would heal you.

Scriptures:

• Genesis 3:1–5

• John 10:10

• Luke 10:40

• Genesis 3:8

• John 17:21

This isn’t just life happening—it’s war happening.
But the Spirit of God makes you dangerous.
You weren’t made to drift—you were made to fight and flourish.

🔥 Catch Part 2 live this Thursday at Common Ground!
🎉 Fiesta Night after service — bring your crew.

You’re Not Random. You’re Not Replaceable. You’re an Image-Bearer.
In this message titled “Built Different” from Genesis 1:26–27, Pastor Nick unpacks what it means to be made in the image of God—and why that truth changes everything.

When we forget the Imago Dei, we settle for confusion, compromise, and counterfeit identity. But when we understand it, we recover purpose, dignity, and direction.

From distorted reflections to restored glory—this sermon will challenge how you see yourself, others, and the God who made you.
