Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with a warning: not everyone who speaks in His name truly belongs to Him. In Part 1 of this new series, we open Matthew 7:15-23 and begin discussing false prophets — why they exist, how they operate, and why they can be so convincing. With more preaching available today than ever before, believers must learn to recognize spiritual manipulation, sensationalism, and teaching that doesn’t match Scripture. This message isn’t about fear — it’s about discernment, and learning to follow the true Shepherd instead of the wolves.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23) In this stand-alone sermon, Brandon Hutzell explains that our greatest problem isn’t outside us but within us — our hearts. Through the teaching of Jesus in Mark 7 and God’s promises in Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we see that we can’t fix ourselves, but God gives us a new heart through Christ. This message challenges us to honestly examine our motives, resist self-deception, stay rooted in Scripture, listen to the Holy Spirit, and actively guard the new heart God has given so we can live for His pleasure and truly see Him.

In this message, we confront one of the biggest barriers in our relationship with God: condemnation. Many believers trust that God will save them, but struggle to believe He actually delights in them. Looking at Romans 8:1, Zechariah 3, and 1 John 3, we discover the difference between conviction and condemnation, the role of the accuser, and why our own hearts often keep us trapped in guilt. Through Jesus, we are not defined by our past — we are clothed in His righteousness and invited to live with confidence, freedom, and peace before God.

Many Christians live with an image of God as angry, disappointed, or constantly frustrated—and that belief carries real consequences. In this message, we look at the truth of who God really is: a God who delights in His people and even sings over them. Through Scripture in Zephaniah, 1 John, and Hebrews, we explore the assurance of salvation and the danger of living with eternal insecurity, reminding us that eternal life is found in Jesus alone—not in our daily performance, but in His finished work. Jesus didn’t just make salvation possible—He completed it, and that’s why He sat down.

In this message from the Happy God series, we explore the Father heart of God through Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. Many of us struggle to believe God is pleased with us, often trading sonship for shame or behavior management. But Jesus reveals a Father who runs, restores, and rejoices over His children. This sermon invites us to move from slavery to sonship and to see God not through the lens of our sin, but through the eyes of His love.

What if God doesn’t just love you—but actually delights in you?In this message from Isaiah 62, we explore a powerful truth many believers struggle to accept: God pursues His people, gives them a new name, and rejoices over them with joy. Discover how seeing yourself the way God sees you leads not to pride, but to deeper holiness, freedom, and joy in Jesus.

What does God’s face look like when He thinks about you? 😐😊 In this opening message of the Happy God series, we explore Numbers 14 and the story of Joshua and Caleb to confront a deeply held belief many Christians carry—that God is disappointed, distant, or displeased with them. Discover how your view of God shapes your faith, your courage, and whether you ever step into His promises.

The Christmas story doesn’t end at the manger. In Luke 2, an old man named Simeon finally sees the promise he’s been waiting for his entire life when Mary and Joseph bring the baby Jesus into the temple. God had told Simeon he would not die until he saw the Messiah — and on that ordinary day, the promise walked into the room. This message reminds us that God always keeps His word, and that Christmas is about more than celebrating Jesus’ first coming. We are living between two promises: Christ has come once, and He is coming again. As we explore the theology of Christmas and the hope of Jesus’ return, we’re challenged to live with faith, urgency, and expectation as we wait for the fulfillment of God’s second promise.

In this Christmas message from Matthew 1:18–25, we take a deeper look at the doctrine of the Incarnation—God with us. The Christmas story is more than a familiar tradition; it is rich with theology that reveals who Jesus is and why He came. In this sermon, we explore what it means that Jesus is fully God and fully man, why the virgin birth matters, and how the Incarnation is essential to our salvation. Discover how this truth not only secures our forgiveness, but also transforms our identity and daily walk as followers of Christ.

In this message, we take a fresh look at the birth of Jesus—not as a fairy tale, but as a true, world-shaping moment filled with real people, real places, and the unmistakable Sovereignty of God. Through Luke’s Gospel and the prophecies of Micah, we see how God orchestrated every detail to fulfill His promises and reveal His heart. As we unpack the doctrines woven into the Christmas account, we’re reminded that God is still sovereign, still working, and still worthy of our trust in every season of life.
