In week 2 of Growing in the Garden, we look at Jesus’ words in Mark 4:30–32, where He describes the Kingdom of God as a mustard seed—small and seemingly insignificant, but once planted, it becomes greater than all.

Everything in God’s Kingdom starts as a seed. That means you, your life, your calling—it all begins small. But the seed can’t grow unless it’s planted. Too many people want fruit without roots. They want maturity without commitment. But maturity doesn’t happen until you stay—planted, covered, unseen, and rooted.

God is the Master Gardener, and He knows the soil you need. When you stay planted in His presence and His house, you begin to grow—not just for your sake, but for the people your life will one day cover. You weren’t planted to be popular—you were planted to bear fruit.

We walk through what it really takes to grow in God’s garden: the condition of your heart, the watering of the Word, the fire of His Spirit, spiritual alignment, pruning, community, and pastoral protection.

You don’t grow on accident. You grow on purpose. And when you stay planted, God gets the glory.

You were created to grow. Period.

But here’s the truth—we’ve built a culture that’s too comfortable with spiritual laziness. This message is a wake-up call: growth means movement, and movement starts with being planted—not just attending church, but actually being rooted in the presence of God and the fellowship of His people.

Psalm 92:13 says, “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish…” Planted means committed. Grounded. Not hopping from soil to soil whenever growth gets uncomfortable.

This week, we look at the garden where it all began. God didn’t create the garden—He planted it. Why? Because He was laying out a Kingdom principle: everything starts with a seed. And a seed only grows when it’s planted in the right soil.

God is the Master Gardener, and He knows exactly where you need to be planted so you can grow into who He created you to be. Even Jesus said the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed—small at first, but full of unstoppable potential.

So here’s the challenge: stop waiting to grow, and start planting yourself. In the church. In Christ. In community. Your seed has destiny in it—but destiny only shows up when the seed gets buried in good soil.

Don’t miss this one—it’s time to grow.

In this final week of Beyond, we’re diving into Mark 5:21-43—two miracles, one powerful message. Jairus was desperate for his daughter’s healing, and a woman who had suffered for 12 years was desperate for hers. Both pressed through obstacles, fear, and doubt, refusing to stop until they encountered Jesus.

This message is all about pressing past the distractions, the delays, and even the discouragement—choosing to have faith that if we keep going, God will move. Because if it’s not stressing God, why should it stress us? And just because something looks good doesn’t mean it’s God.

Faith doesn’t quit. It presses on—until the miracle happens.

In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Chelsea Gay of High Praise Crestview and Brooke Fitzgerald of Saving Grace Women's Recovery Home come together to discuss how the church can play a pivotal role in supporting individuals facing mental health crises and addiction. They delve into the challenges of stigma and how faith communities can create environments of understanding, compassion, and practical help. Sharing their own personal testimonies and stories of transformation, they highlight the power of God’s work in the lives of those struggling. Whether you’re involved in ministry, have a loved one struggling with addiction, or simply desire to minister and help those in need, this episode offers valuable insights on breaking down barriers and fostering healing within the church. Tune in for an enlightening conversation on how we can offer real, transformative support to those in need.

Beyond, Pastor Micah unpacks the power of perseverance and the tension that leads to transformation. Pressure, adversity, and breaking moments aren’t signs of failure; they are the very things that position us for what God has promised.

This message reminds us that even the smallest signs—a cloud the size of a man’s hand—can signal the downpour of God’s favor. What if what you’ve been overlooking is actually the beginning of your Beyond?

It’s time to stop despising small beginnings and start recognizing them as evidence of God’s hand at work. Tune in, lean in, and get ready—because your breakthrough is closer than you think!

In this powerful episode, we’re diving into the tension that leads to breakthrough. There is no breakthrough without breaking, no breaking without tension, and no tension without pressure. But here’s the good news—God is working in it all.

The enemy has no power to steal or stop the plan of God for your life (Luke 10:19). Jesus Himself faced pressure in the wilderness, yet He stood firm on the Word. When we press on through trials, perseverance is produced, and perseverance leads to maturity (James 1:2-4). The struggle isn’t for nothing—it’s shaping you for what’s ahead.

It’s easy to grow weary, but don’t throw away your confidence now (Hebrews 10:35-36). The promise is still sure. The harvest is coming. Will you press through the tension and step into the breakthrough God has for you? Tune in and be encouraged—your story isn’t over yet!

Join us for a message that will be sure to encourage you from Pastor Ken Blount during Building Families Weekend at High Praise Crestview! Family is at the heart of our vision, and in this message, Pastor Ken unpacks the things in today’s world that try to pull families apart—and more importantly, what we can do to keep our families strong and fight for the ones we love.

With practical wisdom and biblical truth, this message will challenge and encourage you to stand firm in building a family that lasts. Don’t miss this powerful word!

In the fifth week of the BEYOND series, Pastor Micah Gay dives into Mark 16:15-18, challenging us to see the Great Commission as more than just a call to share the Gospel. It’s an invitation to live boldly in the power and authority Jesus gave us—to push back darkness, bring healing, and be a living miracle to the people around us.

This week’s message reminds us that the Gospel itself is a miracle—a story of salvation that’s meant to change lives. Jesus didn’t do miracles for attention; He did them out of love and compassion. We’re called to do the same, letting love lead the way as we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

You have that power within you—the power to bring hope, speak peace, and even change the atmosphere with a simple word of encouragement. Sometimes being a miracle isn’t about the spectacular; it’s about being available, letting God use you in the everyday moments.

Are you ready to open your heart and let God work through you? There’s greatness inside of you, and it’s meant to flow out and impact the world around you.

Listen now and get ready to go BEYOND!

In this powerful message, Pastor Micah challenges us to go beyond, into a place where God’s supernatural power is unlocked through the unity of His people. When the church stands together in one accord, miracles happen. Pastor Micah reminds us that unity isn’t just a good idea—it’s a commanded blessing that brings God’s presence and power in ways we can’t imagine.

Disconnection leads to discouragement, but when we show up, engage, and build one another up, we experience the fullness of God’s design for His church. The early believers in Acts didn’t just gather—they were all in, and as a result, the Holy Spirit moved in power. The same is true today.

Church isn’t just a place we go; it’s like the huddle in a football game where we’re given a play and a job, and we are able to accomplish the goal. Are you ready to go beyond complacency, beyond division, and into the miraculous? Tune in and discover what happens when we step into unity and expect God to move!

In this powerful message, Pastor Micah challenges us to go beyond, but not without first checking our foundation. Every beyond moment—every step of faith—rests on something solid. But what are we really building on? Jesus, the rock, or the shifting sands of life?

Pastor Micah unpacks how faith is built—by hearing and doing the Word. It’s not enough to sit in church and listen; our lives must be anchored in Jesus if we want to stand firm when the storms of life come. Because here’s the truth: storms are inevitable—but collapse isn’t, as long as our foundation is sure.

Are you trying to climb toward the beyond while standing on an unstable foundation? When our faith is built on circumstances, emotions, or our own strength, fear and doubt creep in. But when we build on Jesus, we can step into the unknown with confidence, knowing He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Get ready to examine your foundation, strengthen your faith, and step boldly into what God has for you. The power that works in us is coming next week—don’t miss it!
