God is speaking. The question is never whether He wants to move in your life. The question is what is keeping you from receiving it.

In week 2 of our Seeds series, Ready to Receive, Pastor Josh Joines opens up the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, where Jesus said, "Whoever has ears, let them hear." The seed is the Word. The soil is your heart. And God promises in Isaiah 55 that His Word never returns empty. It is looking for a place to work right now, in your family, your marriage, your finances, your mind.

So why does it feel blocked sometimes? In this message, Pastor Josh names the four roadblocks that keep us from receiving everything God wants to produce in us: bias, busyness, blur, and blockage. Then he hands us four practical ways to become good soil: be open, slow down, test it, and act on it.

If you have ever wondered why God feels silent, if your schedule is full but your soul feels empty, if you want to recognize the voice of God with confidence, this message is for you. God has not left you in the dark. He is a good Father who is actively working for your good, and He has a harvest He wants to bring into your life.

What if everything God wants to do in your life is already inside you, just waiting for the right environment to grow?

In week one of our brand new Seeds series, Pastor Josh Joines holds up a single acorn and asks a question that will follow you all week: Am I becoming everything God created me to become? From the very first chapter of Genesis, God designed life around seeds, and He still works that way today. He gives the future in seed form; He does big things through small beginnings, and He is actively growing something in you right now, even when you can't see it yet.

In this message, you'll discover why you can't judge your life by what you see today, why your potential is real but not automatic, and the three things you can actually do to grow: get planted, focus on the seed instead of the fruit, and trust the process. If you've ever felt small, stuck, or like your life isn't producing what you hoped, this word is for you. You're not defective. You may just need to get planted.

"Blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord... that person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season." Psalm 1

If you've still got a pulse, God's still got a purpose for you. Watch this one with your notes open, because God is not done with you.

Parenting is far more spiritual than most of us realize. In the final week of our Home Team series, Pastor Josh Joines opens Psalm 78 and shows us why raising the next generation is not just a responsibility but a holy assignment, and why God never meant for us to do it without the help of the Holy Spirit.

"We will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord." Psalm 78:4

In this message, you'll discover the five traits of Spirit-led parents. They see the heart. They speak to destiny. They set the priorities. They stand in prayer. And they show the way. Whether you're a brand new parent up at 2am, a grandparent still in the fight, or a single parent wondering if your faith can really reach your kids, this word is for you. God is present, active, and working in your home right now, and the same Spirit who has a plan for your children wants to lead you as you raise them.

Don't just watch this one. Watch it with a notebook open, because the God who gave you your children is ready to give you everything you need to raise them.

Parenting is the only job where you're expected to be an expert on day one with zero experience. God knows that, and He wrote you a game plan.

In week three of Home Team, Raising Kids Who Win, Pastor Josh Joines asks the questions most of us have never stopped to ask:

* Are we giving rewards before teaching responsibility?

* Are we praising performance instead of building character?

* Are we handing out freedom before our kids have the maturity to carry it?

Good intentions don't automatically produce good outcomes, and the world's wisdom about raising kids is not God's wisdom.

The Bible shows parents how to build the right culture around their kids, trust God's playbook instead of the world's, and model a faith that's real at the dinner table, in the truck, and on an ordinary Tuesday.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:11 that if imperfect parents know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him. God is for your family; He's present in your parenting, and He's ready to help you win where it matters most.

Your kids don't need perfect parents. They need present parents following a perfect Savior. Watch this message and take the whole game plan home with you.

Your words are building your home or burning it down. There is no middle ground.

In week two of Home Team, Pastor Josh Joines opens Ephesians 4:29, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up," and gets honest about the thing quietly wrecking more families than money or busyness ever will: communication.

After 25 years of sitting with couples and parents, he's seen it over and over. Most families don't have a love problem. They have a communication problem.

Proverbs 18:21 says words kill and words give life; they're either poison or fruit, you choose. In this message, you'll find out whether you're a stuffer or a shouter, why you should never have an argument over text, how honor closes the door to the enemy in your home, and five practical ways to build your family up with your words: courtesy, mercy, understanding, honesty, and affirmation.

This service also holds a moment nobody planned. Pastor Josh stopped mid-service to pray for the sick, because the power of the Lord was present to heal, just like Luke 5:17. If you need healing in your body, don't skip that part.

God is present, active, and ready to change the atmosphere of your home, because your words begin in your heart, and Jesus is in the heart-changing business.

What's blocking the flow?

On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and shouted over the crowd: "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." John 7:37 and 38.

That invitation is still open, and it has your name on it.

In week two of Because of You, Pastor Josh Joines opens John 7, where Jesus interrupted a festival to announce that He Himself is the living water, and that everyone who drinks becomes a river. Not a reservoir. A river. God never intended for His presence to stop with you. He fills you so He can flow through you into a dry and hurting world.

But this message asks an honest question: what's blocking the flow? Some of us are dry. Some of us are waterlogged, soaking up sermon after sermon with no outlet. Some of us believe we're too broken for God to use. 2 Corinthians 4:7 settles it. We have this treasure in jars of clay. God has never required a perfect vessel. He's looking for a yielded one.

Watch this message and you'll learn how to drink from the right source, how to discover the spiritual gift God has already placed inside you, and what happens when you finally let it flow. Somebody's healing, hope, and freedom may be waiting on the other side of your yes.

Will the world be different because of you?

That is the question Pastor Josh Joines asks in week one of Because Of You, a brand new series at Faith Family Church. In 1 Thessalonians 3:9, Paul looks at an ordinary church in the city of Thessalonica and writes, how we thank God for you. Because of you, we have great joy. He was not thanking them for what they did for him. He was thanking God for what God was doing through them. And God has not stopped working that way.

In this message, Pastor Josh shares how God changes lives because of your service, your giving, and your love. You will see a live illustration you will never forget, hear why the majority of the weight in most churches is carried by a small minority of the people, and discover the three things God is inviting every believer to carry: your cross, your part, and His heart.

If you have ever wondered whether your life actually matters, whether God can really use somebody like you, or what church is truly all about, this message answers that question. God brought you out of brokenness so He could heal others through you, and He is ready to start today.

Once a year at Faith Family Church, our student and young adult leaders step up to deliver the Sunday message because they aren't just the church of tomorrow; they're the church right now. Come hear what God is saying through the next generation!

Some mornings your soul wakes up before you do, already rehearsing everything that went wrong. The kicked toe. The job that fell through. The prayer that is still unanswered.

In the final message of our Summer Psalms series, we open Psalm 103 and find David at the very end of his life, not waiting to feel grateful but commanding his own soul to bless the Lord. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2).

Here is the good news: this message will not let you forget. God is not distant, and He is not finished. He is the One who forgives all your sins, heals your diseases, redeems your life from the pit, and crowns you with love and compassion (Psalm 103:3 and 4). Your circumstances were never qualified to lead you. Your soul is a wonderful follower and a terrible leader, and God is inviting you to lead it straight into worship.

You will hear why worship is the lens through which you see God's goodness and not merely a reaction to a good day. You will be reminded that God does His best work while He sustains you in the struggle, not only when life finally goes your way. And you will be challenged, the way Psalm 46:10 challenges all of us, to be still and know that He is God.

If your gratitude has been held hostage by your circumstances, this is the one you cannot afford to miss. The same God who carried David through caves and kings is present, active, and working for your good right now.

Every one of us has something. Something we wish we could go back and undo. Something we have tucked away where no one else can see it. Something we hope nobody ever finds out about. And the question this message answers is the one every honest heart is asking. What do we do when the worst thing about us is true?

In week four of Summer Psalms, we walk through one of the lowest points in David's life and one of the most honest prayers ever recorded. Psalm 51 was not written from a throne. It was written from the floor of a man who had failed and finally stopped hiding. And what God did with David is exactly what He still does today. He meets us in the mess and proves that our failure does not get the final word.

You will walk away with three things to do the next time you mess up. Run to God, because the way back is always one step in His direction. Get honest, because healing starts the very moment the hiding stops. Receive restoration, because God is not pretending it never happened. He is proving that your sin does not have the final say.

The story of the prodigal son reminds us that while we were still a long way off, the Father was already running in our direction. That is the heart of God for you today. He is not distant. He is not disappointed in a way that pushes you away. He is moving toward you with arms open wide, ready to put a ring on your finger and call you His own. If shame has been writing your story, this is the message that will help God rewrite it.
