Elijah’s story in 1 Kings 19 reminds us that even when God has already proven His power, our perspective can blind us to His presence. After the mountaintop comes the wilderness — and it’s there God teaches Elijah (and us) that The Way exceeds us.

In this message, Ty Hirsch challenges us to consider: What story are you telling your heart about what you see? Because the meaning you assign to your moments will determine whether you see God’s power or miss it.

💡 “The power is never in the moment — it’s in the meaning.”

In this week’s message, Ty Hirsch continues our Eyes Up series with “Lock In on Jesus.”
We look at how Saul’s downfall and David’s rise both reveal a central truth: God doesn’t want us to just appear faithful — He wants us to be faithful.

From 1 Samuel 13–16, Ty shows that what God sees is deeper than our image — He looks at our heart.
And even through suffering, we can have confidence that the blessing of following Jesus is Jesus Himself.

📖 Passages referenced: Proverbs 4:23, 1 Samuel 9–16, 1 John 1:8, Psalm 27, John 16:33, Jeremiah 29:13–14, Romans 1:20, 2 Corinthians 4

Eyes Up: Week 7 — “There Were No Kings in Israel” (Judges 19–21)
Speaker: Ty Hirsch

This week in our Eyes Up series, Ty takes us into one of the most sobering and often-avoided passages in Scripture — the final chapters of Judges. In a time when “everyone did what was right in their own eyes,” Israel spirals into chaos, violence, and moral collapse. Yet even in the darkest stories, we see the mercy and kingship of God pointing us toward Jesus — the true King who brings life out of death and light into the deepest darkness.

Ty challenges us to examine where we might be doing “what’s right in our own eyes” and to let Christ rule every corner of our lives. Because sin always takes us farther than we want to go, keeps us longer than we want to stay, and costs more than we ever planned to pay — but Jesus went farther still to bring us home.

In Week 6 of our Eyes Up series, Ty Hirsch walks through Joshua 2 and the story of Rahab — a Canaanite prostitute who believed God’s promises when no one else did. Her story proves that God reveals who He is through what He’s done, and that real faith always shows up in obedience. From the fall of Jericho to the crimson cord that marked Rahab’s salvation, this message points to the gospel truth that Jesus saves all who trust Him — no matter their past.

This week’s challenge: if Rahab could trust God with what little she’d heard, how much more should we trust Him now that we know the cross and the empty grave?

📖 Scripture: Joshua 2, Hebrews 11:31, John 14:6, Romans 10:9

In this continuation of the “Eyes Up” series, Ty Hirsch unpacks how Moses’ simple but messy yes to God became the turning point for Israel’s story—and how God can still use our imperfect obedience when we lift our eyes to Him.•••Questions?

This week, we’re continuing our “Eyes Up” series, where we’re learning to lift our focus off ourselves and onto Jesus. In this message, Ty Hirsch walks through Genesis 3 to show how humanity first took its eyes off the Lord, how that same pattern plays out in our lives today, and how God’s promise of redemption calls us to fix our eyes back on Him.
