Prayer is the soil where spiritual growth takes root.

In this final message of our Family Focus series, we look at Colossians 4:2 and Paul’s simple, powerful instruction for ordinary believers living busy, everyday life: continue in prayer, watch in the same, with thanksgiving.

This sermon is not about long, impressive prayers—it’s about building a consistent culture of prayer at home. Learn why most homes drift spiritually from distraction, not rebellion, and how simple prayer rhythms can shape faith over time—like a garden growing beneath the surface.

You’ll be encouraged to:

Because of Jesus, prayer isn’t performance—it’s relationship. Take the next faithful step, plant the seed, and trust God with the growth.

Why do we hesitate to let go of what’s in our hands?

In this message from our Firm Foundation series, Pastor Scott explores Paul’s teaching on sowing and reaping through the story of a cautious farmer. Generosity isn’t about guilt or pressure—it’s about trust. Scarcity says hold on. Faith says release.

Discover how fear can quietly shape our giving, why God cares more about the heart than the amount, and what it means that “God is able to make all grace abound.”

Before we were ever asked to give, God gave first—freely, sacrificially, and joyfully—through Jesus Christ. When our generosity reflects His grace, it flows from trust, not obligation.

Listen in and be reminded: the safest place for your seed is in God’s hands.

Marriage was never meant to be a tug-of-war.

But when Christ isn’t at the center, that’s exactly what it becomes — a quiet competition for control.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when couples pull against each other instead of surrendering together. You’ll hear why no marriage naturally drifts toward Christ, and why strength doesn’t come from pulling harder — it comes from dropping the rope.

If you want a marriage that reflects Jesus instead of ego, this conversation will point you in the right direction.

In this episode, we’re talking about what makes the church actually work.

It’s not talent.
It’s not production.
It’s participation.

God never designed His church for a handful of people to carry the load. The model is simple and powerful: when everybody does something, nobody has to do everything — and God gets the glory.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines or wondering where you fit, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to step into your role.

Faith isn’t built in perfect moments—it’s built along the way.

In this episode, we reflect on parenting, changing seasons, and the unexpected places where discipleship really happens. From car rides to quiet conversations, God often uses ordinary moments to do extraordinary work in the hearts of our children.

This message speaks directly to busy families who feel the pressure to “do more” while quietly longing to do what matters most. You’ll be reminded that God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking for presence.

Whether you’re raising toddlers, teenagers, or simply influencing the next generation, this conversation offers hope, grace, and a fresh vision for everyday faith.

What if the church measured success differently?

In this episode, we hear a gripping story from military training that challenges the way we think about strength, leadership, and faith. The Army lives by a simple rule—no one gets left behind—and Jesus modeled that same mindset throughout His ministry.

This message reminds us that faith isn’t about how fast we move or how strong we appear. It’s about walking together, caring for people, and refusing to abandon those who are struggling.

Whether you feel worn out, overlooked, or burdened by expectations, this conversation points us back to the heart of Christ—a Savior who stops, sees, and stays.

Every family is moving in a direction—even if nobody is steering.

In this opening message of our Family Focus series, Pastor Scott teaches from Joshua 24:15 and challenges families to stop drifting and start leading with intention. This sermon isn’t about perfect homes or “Instagram families”—it’s about choosing a spiritual direction on purpose.

Pastor Scott explains a sobering truth: If you don’t have a plan, you already have a plan—it’s called drift. And drift doesn’t usually come from rebellion; it often comes from exhaustion, distraction, and the pressures of everyday life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

If you’ve been coasting, reacting, or simply trying to survive the week, this message will help you reset your focus and choose what kind of home you want to build.

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Have you ever shared your faith, invited someone to church, or prayed for someone—only to feel like nothing happened?

In this episode, Pastor Scott walks through Jesus’ Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 and delivers a powerful reminder: empty casts don’t mean failure—they mean you’re being faithful.

Using the imagery of fishing, this message speaks directly to believers who feel discouraged, awkward, or hesitant after rejection. Jesus never asked us to control outcomes, convince people, or produce results. He simply asked us to cast—to be faithful with conversations, invitations, and obedience—and to trust God with the harvest.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

This is a freeing, encouraging message for anyone who’s grown tired of trying—or afraid to try again. If you’ve ever put the rod down after an empty cast, this message is for you.

Have you ever paid for a gym membership… but never actually used it? 😅
In this message, Pastor Scott Beardsley uses that relatable picture to reveal a powerful spiritual truth: belonging without participation produces no transformation.

From Hebrews 10:24–25, we’re reminded that God never designed the Christian life to be lived in isolation. When busyness, fatigue, pressure, or hurt pull us away from meaningful Christian community, our faith can slowly begin to weaken—not because we stopped believing, but because we stopped engaging.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why spiritual growth requires more than good intentions

How isolation makes faith more fragile

Why gathering with God’s people is a lifeline, not a box to check

How to shift from consuming church to contributing to community

Practical steps to get rooted in gospel-centered relationships

📖 Scripture: Hebrews 10:24–25
🙏 If you’ve been drifting, discouraged, or disconnected, the invitation is simple: come back, show up, and get rooted in community.

What does obedience really look like when life gets tense?

In this message from our Rooted series, we explore John 14:21 and discover that obedience isn’t about rule-keeping—it’s about trust and relationship. Using a powerful baseball illustration, we’re reminded that obedience often matters most in high-pressure moments, when emotions run high and waiting feels uncomfortable.

This sermon shows how real obedience grows out of love for Christ, leads to deeper fellowship with God, and takes root in everyday, unseen choices. When we trust Jesus enough to follow His direction—even when it’s hard—our faith grows steady, resilient, and deeply rooted.
