“There Is More Joy in Giving”

We’re kicking off the Generosity Practice by digging into the words of Jesus: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We’ll explore how generosity brings joy, loosens the grip of materialism, and draws us closer to the heart of God. Come ready for real conversations, a meaningful challenge, and a call to live generously.

In this powerful message, John Klassen challenges us with a question that cuts deep: “Is there room at your table?”

Rooted in passages like Luke 14:12–14, Mark 15:15–17, and the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, this sermon explores how Jesus used meals not just to feed, but to transform. The dinner table becomes a mini altar—a sacred space where outsiders become family and the rejected find restoration.

John reminds us that gossip, judgment, and cliquish comfort zones won’t lead anyone to repentance. But an open seat at the table? That just might. With eternity hanging in the balance, every conversation, every invitation, carries the weight of heaven and hell.

Who’s missing from your table?

The one who hurt you?

The one you avoid?

The one you think doesn’t belong?

This episode will convict you, stretch you, and hopefully move you to make room—for the sake of someone’s eternity.

In this week’s guy’s night, we dive deep into what true character really means — not just reputation, but the kind of inner life God is forming in us. Anchored in Exodus 34:6–7, we see how God first reveals His character — full of compassion, grace, patience, and truth — and how we’re called to reflect that same heart in a world full of shortcuts and compromise.

Through Romans 5:4, we’re reminded that character is forged in the fire of endurance. In Ephesians 3:14–19, we’re challenged to let our roots grow deep into Christ’s love. And in Matthew 12:33–37, we’re reminded that what’s in us will come out — our words, our actions, and our fruit all reveal who we really are.

Want to go deeper this week? Spend time with these verses:

📖 Romans 8:6

📖 Proverbs 3:5–6

📖 Romans 12:1–2

This isn’t about behavior modification — it’s about becoming the kind of man who reflects the character of Jesus from the inside out.

Lately, we’ve all been quoting this verse: “Count it all joy.” Whether it’s been during incredible moments—or while dealing with a flat tire—we’ve said it, posted it, and prayed it. But what does James really mean when he says, “Count it all joy when you face trials…”?

In this episode, Matthew Wright takes a deeper dive into James 1:2–4 and unpacks the real context behind the scripture. Is it just for hard times? Are we supposed to count everything joy—even the annoying, frustrating, or heartbreaking stuff? What does Jesus say about this kind of mindset?

We’ll talk about how joy isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about shifting your perspective to see what God is producing in you through it. We’ll also look at how Jesus Himself endured the cross “for the joy set before Him” and how we can apply that same lens to our lives today.

Whether you’re in a trial or just trying to grow through the ordinary chaos of life, this episode will challenge and encourage you to live with deep-rooted, Spirit-filled joy—even when it’s not easy.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded: God’s not just getting you through—He’s growing you through.

In this episode, Pastor Paul Boggess shares a powerful and timely word titled “Rooted & Grounded in Love.” Using the story from Matthew 17, where a boy continually falls into the fire and water due to epilepsy, Pastor Paul draws a deep parallel between the boy’s condition and the cycles many of us find ourselves stuck in.

He reminds us that real freedom and breakthrough don’t come through effort alone—but by becoming rooted in the love of the Father. It’s in that love where we find healing, identity, and lasting transformation. If you’ve felt like you keep stumbling back into the same battles, this message offers the clarity and hope you’ve been needing.

In this episode of Guy’s Night, Nick Gallo and Britton Hudson lead us through a powerful tag-team message diving deep into the heart of God’s love.

Nick breaks down the question, “Why does God love us?” through the story of Hosea, showing that God’s love is steadfast, redeeming, and without conditions. Then Britton tackles the question, “How much does God love you?” with Scripture showing that God’s love is everlasting, costly, and personal — the kind of love that would be poured out even for just one.

Whether you’ve doubted your worth or felt like you had to earn God’s love, this message will remind you that Kingdom love isn’t transactional — it’s transformational.

In this episode of Guys Night, we dive into the powerful truth of Romans 12:1–2 and unpack what it really looks like to respond to the sovereignty of God. Pastor Daven Wall leads us in a conversation about living as a spiritual act of worship—not just in moments labeled “spiritual,” but through our entire physical and relational lives.

We explore the idea that our bodies aren’t separate from our worship—they’re instruments through which we serve God. We discuss what it means to stop separating the spiritual from the physical, and how true transformation begins by renewing the mind through continual contemplation and surrender.

From understanding identity in Christ, to walking out spiritual disciplines like confession, fasting, and reflection—this episode is an invitation to deeper recognition that you’re already made in the image of God. Transformation isn’t about becoming someone new, but living as who you already are in Christ.

In this powerful episode of Committed, Matthew and Wil sit down with special guests Nick Gallo and Britton Hudson for a real, honest, and faith-filled conversation. Nick and Britton share their stories of how Jesus radically transformed their lives and how they got connected with the Committed movement.

From there, the guys dive into a series of deep, challenging questions submitted by Nick and Britton that every believer can relate to:

• What does it really mean to fully surrender to God?

• How do you approach someone in sin with gentleness and truth?

• What is gossip, and how do we avoid it as followers of Christ?

• What does it look like to be steadfast in your walk with Jesus?

Plus, Britton brings the heat with practical questions about anger, relationships, witnessing to non-believers, and handling tough conversations with friends.

The episode closes with Q&A pulled straight from our social media community—real questions from real people wanting to grow deeper in their faith.

Whether you’re new to your walk or have been following Jesus for years, this episode is filled with encouragement, truth, and practical wisdom. Tune in, take notes, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

We all stumble—but if we’re not careful, a stumble can turn into a full-on tumble that pulls us further from who God has called us to be. In this message, we’ll talk about the power of taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), guarding our minds before the fall happens. Just because you slipped doesn’t mean you’re disqualified. Romans 8:1 reminds us: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Grace isn’t an excuse to stay down—it’s the strength to get back up.

Tonight at Guy’s Night, we shared in a powerful and humbling experience — a Foot Washing Service. Inspired by John 13, where Jesus knelt to wash His disciples’ feet, we followed His example of servant leadership, love, and brotherhood.

We took time to pause, reflect, and serve one another — not out of tradition, but from a place of deep humility and unity. It was a moment to lay down pride, forgive, encourage, and remember that we are all equal at the feet of Jesus.

For many, it was their first time experiencing this kind of vulnerability. For all of us, it was a reminder: to lead is to serve, and to love like Jesus means getting low.

This wasn’t just a ritual — it was a movement of hearts turning toward each other and toward Christ.
