Guest Speaker Pastor Harvey Carey continued the Everything’s Fine series by reminding us that healing begins when we stop pretending we are okay and admit our need for God. Using steps two and three, he invited the church to move from a declaration of independence to a declaration of dependence on the God who can restore, heal, and sustain us. Through personal stories of trauma, therapy, grief, and God’s faithfulness, Pastor Harvey showed that trusting God does not mean life has been easy, but that God has never failed him. He encouraged listeners to believe that God is the spark, surrender their will to Him, and rely on His strength to keep moving forward. This message is a powerful call to stop striving in our own strength and trust the God who brings freedom, renewal, and hope.

In week one of the Everything's Fine series, Pastor Gary Thomas challenges the lies we tell ourselves about the habits, struggles, and dependencies that quietly shape our lives. Looking through the lens of Scripture and the first step toward freedom, he reminds us that lasting change doesn't begin with trying harder—it begins with admitting our need for Jesus. This message invites everyone to honestly examine the areas where they may be settling for less than God's best while discovering the hope of His transforming grace. Rather than living in denial, we can experience the freedom Christ offers when we surrender control to Him. No matter where you are in your journey, this message is an encouraging reminder that God specializes in bringing new life where we once saw only brokenness.

In this special Father’s Day message, Pastor Bronson Stewart sits down with Patrick Nix and NFL wide receiver Tez Johnson to share a powerful story of faith, perseverance, and family.

Through moments of struggle, sacrifice, and unwavering support, their story reveals how God faithfully pursues people and works through ordinary acts of love to accomplish extraordinary things.

Looking at the reality of suffering, Curt reminds us that following God does not guarantee a life free from pain, but it does guarantee the presence of the Good Shepherd in every season. Through biblical insight and personal testimony, he shows how life's deepest valleys can either push us away from God or draw us closer to Him. This message offers hope to anyone facing grief, hardship, uncertainty, or loss by pointing to a Shepherd who walks beside us and comforts us. Ultimately, we are reminded that our suffering may shape part of our story, but our identity is found in Christ and His presence with us.

For Student Takeover Weekend, Student Pastor Wade Smith challenged the church to step into the next generation by getting involved in the lives of students and investing in what God is doing through Student Ministry at Cherry Hills Community Church.

He encouraged the church to move beyond simply attending and instead pray boldly, serve faithfully, and help students know God and discover who He created them to be. The message painted a compelling picture of what can happen when an entire church rallies around the next generation with love, consistency, and intentional discipleship. Student Takeover Weekend served as both a celebration of what God is already doing through students and a call for every generation to play a part in what He wants to do next.

During Student Takeover Weekend, student Cole delivered an encouraging message about remaining faithful to God even when the process feels long, repetitive, or uncertain.

Through passages in Joshua and Hebrews 11, he showed that breakthrough often comes after seasons of perseverance, courage, and unwavering faith. Ultimately, the message encouraged the church to stay strong, trust God’s timing, and believe that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.
