Why does Christmas matter so much in a world that feels increasingly dark, chaotic, and confusing? In this message, Pastor Jason explores how Jesus is the Light of the World and why His arrival changes everything—personally and globally.

Drawing from Isaiah 8–9 and John 8:12, we look at:

The world in darkness, then and now
• How people in Isaiah’s time turned to mediums, spiritists, and human solutions instead of God
• Why trying to solve life’s deepest problems without God still leaves us in spiritual darkness today

The promise of a coming Light
• The prophecy of Isaiah 9:2: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light…”
• The famous description of the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6:
• Wonderful Counselor
• Mighty God
• Everlasting Father
• Prince of Peace

Christmas: brutally honest and deeply hopeful
• Christmas isn’t sentimental “cheer up” talk—it’s God’s answer to the truth that we can’t save ourselves
• Why Jesus coming into the world is both a sobering reminder of our need and a joyful declaration of real hope

Only Jesus can pierce the darkness
• What it means that Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12)
• How His light brings peace, wisdom, strength, and the Father’s love into our most broken places
• An invitation to step out of darkness and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord

At the end of the message, we respond together through communion, remembering that the baby in the manger became the Savior on the cross—Love’s pure light given for us.

If you’re longing for peace, direction, hope, or forgiveness this Christmas, this message will help you see why Jesus is not just part of the season—He is the reason there is any light at all.

Is there a difference between saying “thank you” and actually being thankful? In this message, Pastor Marcus unpacks Psalm 138 and helps us see that biblical thankfulness is far more than good manners—it’s a deep, heart-level response to who God is and what He’s done.

In a season where it’s easy to rush from Halloween straight to Christmas and skip over Thanksgiving (both the holiday and the attitude), this teaching invites you to slow down and rediscover a life of gratitude rooted in the gospel.

From David’s words in Psalm 138, Pastor Marcus explores:
Thankfulness as our response in humility
• Why you can’t be prideful and truly thankful at the same time
• What it means to “bow down” to God and place Him above every other “god” in your life—career, relationships, success, or addictions

Thankfulness as a response to knowing God’s nature
• How walking with God over time reveals His heart—His kindness, faithfulness, and nearness in both the highs and the lows
• How God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and why that matters for your gratitude today

Thankfulness as a response to the greatest gift—salvation
• Why Ephesians 2:8–10 calls salvation a gift, not something we earn
• How the Holy Spirit reminds us of everything Jesus has done and continues to do in our lives
• Why the cross and resurrection are the foundation of a truly thankful heart

Whether you’re new to faith, exploring who Jesus is, or have been following Him for years, this message will help you:
• Shift from polite “thank yous” to deep, genuine gratitude
• See your life, relationships, and circumstances through the lens of God’s grace
• Respond to the free gift of salvation available in Jesus

Take this time to reset your heart, remember God’s goodness, and step into the holiday season with true, Christ-centered thankfulness.

Is it actually possible to follow Jesus faithfully for a lifetime—not just for a weekend conference or a New Year’s resolution? In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Jason unpacks the dramatic conversion of Saul (the Apostle Paul) and shows how a single moment of breakthrough can lead to a lifetime of follow-through.

Coming out of our men’s Firefest and the 90-Day Anchored Man Shred, this teaching is all about creating a spiritual training plan that keeps you connected to Jesus in everyday life—not just on Sundays.

Using Paul’s story and practical biblical wisdom, this message will help you see:
• Why God cares about every area of your life—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
• How each area is like a “leg of a stool” and what happens when one gets cut short
• The difference between following your heart and leading your heart
• Why habits that keep you close to Jesus matter more than willpower and guilt
• How wins in one area (like exercise or discipline) can transfer into spiritual growth
• What it means to “press on” like Paul in Philippians 3:12–14
• Why the goal isn’t perfection, but heading in the right direction with Jesus

📖 Key Scriptures in This Message:
• Acts 9 – Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus
• 1 Timothy 4:8 – Physical training is good, but training for godliness is better
• Mark 12:30 – Loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength
• John 15 – Staying connected to the Vine
• Philippians 3:12–14 – I press on toward the goal…
• Philippians 1:6 – He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion

This message is for you if:
• You start strong spiritually but struggle to follow through
• You feel stuck in cycles of guilt, trying harder, and giving up
• You’re overwhelmed emotionally or mentally and can’t see how it connects to your walk with God
• You’re part of the Anchored Man Shred or just want a practical framework for spiritual disciplines

Let this be a moment where God not only gives you breakthrough, but also shows you how to walk in a long obedience in the same direction.

Can God redeem years of addiction, brokenness, and even a near-fatal grizzly bear attack? In this powerful testimony message, you’ll hear how God met Jim and Liz in the middle of trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, marital chaos, and generational pain—and wrote a completely new story of healing, freedom, and restoration.

Pastor Jason invites them to share how God:
• Rescued Jim after a violent grizzly bear attack in the Northwest Territories
• Pursued Liz through years of partying, panic attacks, and emotional brokenness
• Used a 40-day “media fast” and God’s Word to set her free from a 22-year addiction
• Answered five years of a wife’s persistent prayer for her husband’s heart
• Restored a marriage that looked like a total “train wreck”
• Brought hope to deep family wounds, fatherlessness, and generational trauma

This message will encourage anyone who feels:
• Stuck in addiction, anxiety, or secret double life
• Worn out from praying for a spouse, child, or loved one
• Unsure if God can really use their story for good
• Far from God and afraid to come “back under the umbrella” of His grace

🔍 Key Themes & Scriptures:
• God works all things together for good – Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28
• Being “hot”: honest, open, and transparent
• The power of persistent prayer (Liz praying from 2010–2015)
• Salvation through Jesus alone – John 3:16
• Freedom through God’s Word – Joshua 1:8
• The enemy’s plan vs. God’s plan – John 10:10
• Coming back under God’s covering as husbands, wives, and parents

If you’re wondering whether God has given up on you or your family, this story is a living reminder: He hasn’t moved. His hand is still reaching for you. His goodness is running after you.

What story will your life sing after you’re gone? In this message, guest speaker Jude Fouquier unpacks how to live a life that echoes through generations—what he calls “songs for the future.” Drawing from Joshua 4 (stones of remembrance) and Mark 14:26 (Jesus leaving the Last Supper singing a hymn), we explore practical ways to build a faith legacy that your kids, grandkids, and spiritual sons and daughters can stand on.

Is Christianity too exclusive—or is Jesus’ claim actually good news for everyone? In this message from our series The Silence Is Loud, Pastor Jason tackles one of today’s most asked questions: “Is there only one true religion?”

Drawing from 1 Peter 3:15, John 14:6, and John 10:9, we explore how to hold a firm conviction that Christ is Lord while giving our reasons with gentleness and respect. You’ll also hear a powerful testimony from Natalie, who left New Age spirituality in search of real healing—and found it in Jesus.

💡 In this message you’ll learn:
• Why Jesus clearly claimed to be the only way to God—and why that isn’t arrogance if it’s true
• How to avoid two cultural “overcorrections”: angry withdrawal vs. naive compromise
• A practical framework for discussing faith in a pluralistic world (without being combative)
• Why Christianity isn’t elitist: salvation is offered to all, by grace, not works (Ephesians 2:8–9)
• How to love people well while disagreeing with their beliefs—live and love like Jesus

📖 Key Scriptures:
1 Peter 3:15; John 14:6; John 10:9; Luke 6:35–36; 1 Peter 2:12; Ephesians 2:8–9

What does it really mean to “love your neighbor”? In this powerful and joy-filled message, guest speaker Jimmy Rollins brings humor, honesty, and biblical truth to one of Jesus’ most challenging commands — love your neighbor as yourself.

From Mark 2 and Mark 12:30–31, Jimmy unpacks how love requires more than words; it requires action, compassion, and faith that moves toward others. Through stories about family, faith, forgiveness, and real-life transformation, he challenges us to bring the love of Christ beyond the four walls of the church and into our homes, workplaces, and communities.

• How your faith can change someone else’s future
• Why unity in diversity reflects the heart of God
• How helping others find healing also brings healing to you

This isn’t just a sermon — it’s a call to action. Whether you’re new to church or a longtime believer, you’ll walk away with a fresh passion to live out the gospel in everyday relationships.
