In this powerful sermon from Hebrews 11, we explore what it truly means to live by faith—not blind belief, not wishful thinking, but bold obedience rooted in the unshakable truth of who God is. Faith isn’t pretending everything is fine or hoping things will magically work out. Faith is acting on what you know to be true even when you can’t yet see the outcome.

Journey through the “Hall of Faith” as we look at men and women who saw what others couldn’t, risked what others wouldn’t, and built what they would never see completed. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and countless unnamed heroes each reveal a different dimension of what it means to live beyond the visible and trust God with the unseen.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• A New Vision: Faith sharpens your spiritual sight—helping you see God’s promises even in impossible places.
• Courage to Risk: Faith isn’t safe. It calls you to release what’s temporary in pursuit of what’s eternal.
• A Legacy Mindset: Faith builds generational impact, investing in a future that may unfold long after you’re gone.

You’ll also be challenged with three key questions:

What do you see? What are you willing to risk? And what are you building for the next generation?

If you’re ready to strengthen your faith and step into a life that looks beyond what you can see, this message will inspire, convict, and encourage you to trust God with every step.

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” — Hebrews 11:1

What if your life was meant for more than just getting by? In this message, we explore what it means to be a Kingdom Builder—someone who lives with purpose, generosity, and impact that extends far beyond their own four walls.

Jesus invites us into something bigger than ourselves: building His Kingdom here on earth. But what does that actually look like in your everyday life? How do you shift from a "me-first" mentality to a Kingdom-first mindset?

In this sermon, we'll unpack the biblical foundation for Kingdom living and discover how God wants to use your time, talents, and treasure to advance His mission. You'll be challenged to move from simply attending church to actively building the Kingdom—and see how your obedience creates a ripple effect that impacts eternity.

Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will inspire you to step into your calling as a Kingdom Builder and discover the overflow that comes from living generously for God's purposes.

The Overflow Life – Living Generously Beyond the Tithe

What if generosity isn't about what you give up, but what you gain? In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of radical generosity and discover how living with open hands unlocks joy, freedom, and eternal impact.

You'll hear the incredible story of Hobby Lobby founder David Green, who has given away over $700 million—and why he says he's just the manager, not the owner. We'll explore what Scripture really teaches about generosity beyond the tithe, and why Jesus said it's "more blessed to give than to receive."

IN THIS EPISODE:
• Why generosity is a reflection of God's heart, not a religious obligation
• How your giving creates ripple effects you'll never fully see in this lifetime
• The surprising joy that comes from breaking free from greed's grip
• What the widow's mite teaches us about sacrificial giving
• How God multiplies what we release in faith

This is more than a message about money, it's an invitation into the overflow life, where trust in God transforms into tangible generosity that changes the world.

SCRIPTURE EXPLORED:
2 Corinthians 9:6-11 | Acts 20:35 | Luke 6:38 | John 3:16 | Matthew 6:19-21

KEY QUOTE:
"The tithe is where trust begins, but generosity is where transformation happens. We are never more like God than when we give."

What if the greatest test of your faith isn't about what you believe, but about what you're willing to give? In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most challenging yet rewarding spiritual disciplines: tithing.

Tithing isn't just an ancient religious practice—it's a profound act of trust that declares God is our ultimate provider. We'll unpack the biblical foundations of giving the first tenth, explore why this practice feels so countercultural in today's economy, and examine the extraordinary promise God makes in Malachi 3:10, where He actually invites us to test Him.

This conversation goes beyond the mechanics of tithing to address the heart issues underneath: our fears about scarcity, our need for control, and our struggle to truly believe that God will provide. You'll hear real talk about the obstacles that keep people from tithing, the breakthroughs that happen when we step out in faith, and practical wisdom for those ready to take this leap of trust.

Whether you're skeptical about tithing, curious about what the Bible really says, or ready to deepen your commitment to generous giving, this episode will challenge your perspective on money, faith, and what it means to put God first in every area of life.

Perfect for: Anyone wrestling with financial anxiety, seeking to grow in faith, or wanting to experience God's provision in tangible ways.

EPISODE TITLE: Community – Week 2: The Church Is Family

Speaker: Pastor Ty Crowder

Scripture: Ephesians 4:2–6 (NIV)

Series: Community – Living as the Family of God

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Family is beautiful — but family can be messy. Even in the family of God, brokenness and division can creep in. In this powerful, Spirit-filled message, Pastor Ty Crowder unpacks Ephesians 4:2–6 to show that God’s Church was never meant to be fractured — it was meant to be family.

If we believe that God is real, we also must acknowledge that the enemy is real. And sometimes, comfort makes us blind to the battle. But this message calls the Church to wake up, rise up, and become a threat to the devil once again through unity, love, and purpose.

Pastor Ty breaks down four key choices every functional spiritual family must make:

1️⃣ Functional families choose health

2️⃣ Functional families choose boundaries

3️⃣ Functional families choose reconciliation

4️⃣ Functional families choose growth

When we forgive, love, honor, and encourage one another, we reflect the heart of Jesus and show the world what true family looks like.

Listen in as Pastor Ty leads us through a time of conviction, clarity, and commitment — calling believers to unity, healing, and Kingdom purpose.

KEY VERSE:

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

— Ephesians 4:2–3 (NIV)

Why do we come to church? Is it simply out of routine or obligation, or is there something deeper that God desires for His people?

In this Spirit-filled message, Pastor Ty Crowder takes us to Acts 2:44–47 and reveals the true value of fellowship in the body of Christ. Fellowship is more than attendance — it’s about alignment, affection, and abiding in Christ together.

You’ll discover how fellowship creates:

• Worship — a fire that burns brighter together.
• Obedience — faith in action, living out the message and mission.
• Support — carrying one another’s burdens in love.
• Heaven — a preview of eternity with Jesus.

This message will challenge you to move beyond obligation into genuine connection with God and His people. Pastor Ty also leads into a powerful time of communion and closes with the question:

👉 “How invested are you? Why do you come to church?”
