In this message, Pastor J.R. explains that Jesus calls believers not to escape the world but to bring Heaven’s culture into everyday life. He emphasizes that Christians are meant to embody the Kingdom through character, conduct, and commitment, aligning their lives with Heaven’s values. He teaches that being “salt of the earth” means purifying, preserving, and igniting change in the places believers step into. Followers of Jesus should function like an embassy of Heaven, creating a distinct atmosphere of hope, restoration, and purpose wherever they go.

In this message, Pastor J.R. explains that our goal is not escaping to heaven but bringing heaven to earth as God originally designed. He emphasizes that while sin distorted creation, Jesus restored God’s intention by announcing that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Pastor J.R. highlights that believers are called to live out the Lord’s Prayer by participating in God’s mission: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” He teaches that every miracle of Jesus demonstrates heaven breaking into earth through healing, forgiveness, and restored relationship. Finally, he shares that we join God’s work with generosity, vision, and sacrificial obedience as God brings heaven to earth through His people.

In this message, Pastor J.R. emphasizes the importance of winning spiritual battles in the mind by relying on God’s power rather than human effort. He emphasizes that often times we stress about our problems because we put God in a box and make our worries bigger than our perception of God. Through the teachings of Paul in 2 Corinthians, he encourages us to not be led by fear but be led by the Holy Spirit. In doing so, our perspective changes and we start to realize that God is bigger than our worries.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches that life’s events may be out of our control, but we can always choose how we respond to them by changing our “lens.” He uses Paul’s imprisonment in Philippians 1:12–14 as an example of viewing hardship as an opportunity to advance the gospel rather than as a setback. In this message, Pastor J.R. outlines three practical ways to “change the lens," which emphasizes that our perspective determines our experience and if we look for God’s goodness, we’ll see it even in difficult times.

In this message, Pastor J.R. encourages us to break free from negative mental patterns that lead to lies and instead build new ones grounded in truth. He warns that both culture and personal thoughts can be weaponized by the enemy to spread false narratives that trap the mind in fear, insecurity, and deception. Pastor J.R. contrasts worldly messages—such as those that label Christian conviction as hate—with God’s truth that renews the mind and brings freedom. He emphasizes that culture and thoughts are never neutral, urging believers to align their thinking with God’s Word rather than societal influences. Ultimately, he reminds us that God’s truth is our spiritual weapon that can demolish strongholds, set captives free, and empower us to live with faith and victory.

In this message, Pastor Austin Porter reflects on Peter’s darkest night when he denied Jesus three times, despite boldly claiming he would never do so. He explains that Peter’s failure was not just a lapse in loyalty, but a moment of deep conviction where Jesus’ compassionate look pierced his heart and led to genuine repentance. Pastor Austin reminds us that just as we see with Peter, failure does not have to be final. He highlights how Jesus restored Peter after the resurrection, not only forgiving him but also commissioning him to feed His sheep and lead the church. Ultimately, Pastor Austin encourages believers to rise from their failures, trust in God’s redemption, and boldly live out their calling with renewed confidence and courage.

In this message, Pastor J.R. highlights that our hope does not rest in the strength of our love for Jesus, but in the unbreakable strength of His love for us. Pastor J.R. emphasizes that Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” meaning resurrection is not just an event but a person to trust in. He points out that faith in Jesus is not just about a future hope but about present strength and the power to restore broken hearts and lives. Ultimately, Pastor J.R. stresses that Jesus calls people by name from death to life, offering forgiveness and transformation no matter how lost or broken they feel.

In this message Pastor J.R. explains that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep and contrasts Him with false shepherds who manipulate through guilt, fear, and control.
He warns that if we don’t recognize the Shepherd’s voice, we risk following the wrong voices—whether from culture, politics, media, or even past pain. Whereas Jesus' voice doesn’t drive with guilt but leads with grace, guiding us through every valley and every mountain, even in heartbreak.
He invites us to listen for the Shepherd’s voice, trust His protection, and follow Him, because He knows us, loves us, and is calling us home.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches that Jesus is the only true door to salvation. In John 10:7–10, Jesus declares that He is the door for the sheep, offering safety, provision, and abundant life, while warning that false doors only lead to destruction. Pastor J.R. emphasizes that good works, religious performance, or cultural “truths” are counterfeit doors that cannot provide true access to God. He explains that Jesus welcomes everyone, not by background or effort, but by entering through Him in faith. Ultimately, Pastor J.R. encourages believers to stop striving to earn salvation and instead rest in the freedom, peace, and purpose found in Christ, the one and only door.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches from John 9, where Jesus heals a man born blind, explaining that his condition was not due to sin but so that God’s works could be displayed.
He highlights how Jesus used messy and uncomfortable means—like mud—to bring healing, suggesting that irritation and hardship can lead to transformation and even be part of our mission.
Pastor J.R. encourages listeners to see heartbreak, loss, and anxiety not as punishment but as opportunities for God to work in unexpected ways.
