What kind of church does Jesus desire to inhabit?

In this message from The House of God series, Pastor Tanner continues the conversation on Bridal Readiness by looking at Revelation 1–3 and Jesus’ words to the seven churches. These letters reveal what Jesus values in His Bride—and challenge us to measure success by heaven’s standards rather than the standards of culture.

We are called to be more than a gathering or organization. We are called to be a Bride prepared for the return of Jesus and a forerunner people who cry out, “Prepare the way of the Lord,” while continually pointing people to the Lamb of God.

Through the churches of Ephesus and Smyrna, we see Jesus’ desire for burning hearts, wholehearted love, holiness, faithfulness, and endurance. Whether in seasons of blessing or suffering, the invitation remains the same: behold Jesus, overcome what seeks to steal our devotion, and become a house where He feels at home.

In “Where Is Your Oil?”, Pastor Tanner Delano teaches from the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25 and calls the Church back to a life of bridal readiness—living with eternity in view and preparing our hearts for the return of Jesus.

The oil we carry cannot be borrowed, inherited, or imparted by someone else. It is cultivated in the secret place through intimacy with Jesus, prayer, worship, sacrifice, and a life of first love.

In this message, discover three keys to storing oil: pursuing intimacy over influence, recommitting to a sacrificial life, and turning your pain into prayer and praise. Even the crushing seasons of life can produce an oil that God uses to heal, restore, and revive others.

The question is not how influential, successful, or accomplished we become. The question is simply: Where is your oil?

In this powerful Dedication Sunday message, Apostle Malik Edwards challenges us to confront casual Christianity and the pursuit of comfort in our walk with Jesus.

Drawing from David’s declaration, “I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing” (2 Samuel 24:24), Apostle Malik reminds us that following Jesus carries a cost. True discipleship requires surrender, sacrifice, obedience, and a willingness to lay everything at His feet.

As Jesus House Church marks this significant moment of dedication, this message calls us beyond convenient Christianity into wholehearted devotion. We are reminded that Jesus is worthy of more than what is easy, comfortable, or leftover—He is worthy of our entire lives.

Prayer was never meant to be dull, distant, or reserved for a select few. In this message, Pastor Tanner teaches on the call every believer has to cultivate a vibrant, consistent, and life-giving prayer life with Jesus. He challenges common misconceptions about prayer, reminding us that even when prayer feels weak, uneventful, or emotional progress seems absent, faithfulness in the secret place still carries tremendous weight in heaven.
Drawing from Jesus’ story of the friend who came knocking at midnight, Pastor Tanner also explores the power of persistent prayer—the kind of prayer that refuses to stop asking, seeking, and knocking. Sometimes the initial answer may seem like “no,” but persistence can move what appears immovable. Through friendship with God, we learn to keep knocking, believing that our prayers can disrupt heaven’s calendar and usher into today what seemed appointed for tomorrow.

This message is an invitation to make prayer a priority rather than something peripheral, to stop measuring your prayer life by feelings, and to believe again in the power of simply showing up before God.
Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. Your prayers matter more than you know.

What if the broken places in your life are not meant to destroy you, but become places where God forms you, strengthens you, and draws you closer to Himself?

In this message, Pastor Tanner Delano teaches on The Blessing of Brokenness—exploring how God can use seasons of pruning, weakness, disappointment, loss, and even betrayal to deepen intimacy with Him and break our dependence on our own strength.

Through the story of Jacob wrestling with God, Paul’s thorn in the flesh, and the bitter waters of Marah, we see that brokenness does not have to become bitterness. When surrendered to Jesus, the places that have wounded us can become places of healing, testimony, and supernatural strength.

There is a blessing in the brokenness. Embrace the process, embrace the limp, and allow the cross of Jesus to turn what has become bitter in your soul sweet again.

What does it mean to become a resting place for the presence of God?

In this Launch Sunday message, Pastor Tanner Delano shares the foundational vision of Jesus House Church: to build a resting place on the earth for the manifest presence of Jesus. Drawing from Psalm 132 and the life of David, this message explores the difference between simply knowing that God is present and cultivating a life where His presence is welcomed, treasured, and given room to rest.

Discover what it looks like to build your life around sacrifice, purity, prayer, worship, and first love—refusing complacency and returning to a heart that burns for Jesus.

The God who is everywhere desires to rest somewhere. May He find that resting place in us.
