Mannahouse Sunday Messages

In this kickoff message to our new series, Rediscovering Jesus: Following His Radically Ordinary Ways, Pastor Ben Trolese invites us to revisit the core of Jesus’ calling—His simple but life-changing invitation: “Follow Me”. This message marks the start of our August Month of Prayer and Feasting, a time where we lean into united 24/7 prayer, campus prayer walls, and shared meals as a church family. Together, we’re praying for prodigals to return and for people to experience the radical love of Christ.

Pastor Ben unpacks how Jesus’ original call to follow Him wasn’t just about belief—it was a call to apprenticeship, transformation, and surrender. Through scripture, personal stories, and honest reflection, we’re challenged to consider what (or who) we are following, what’s holding us back, and what it truly means to live like Jesus in a world that often misunderstands Him. Whether you’re exploring faith, feeling distant, or ready to go deeper, Jesus’ invitation is for you—just as you are.

Finishing off our “Kingdom Come” series, Pastor Asim Trent brings a fresh word from Matthew 13:51–52, calling us to live not just as students of the Kingdom, but as stewards of it. Drawing from Jesus’ often-overlooked parable of the householder who brings out treasures both new and old, Pastor Asim challenges us to embrace our Kingdom assignment—to take responsibility for what God has placed in our hands.

With insight and conviction, he highlights how true disciples are called to steward timeless truths from the past and fresh revelations for the future. Just like a master of a house, Kingdom disciples are entrusted with treasures to share with a world in need, anchored in the wisdom of Scripture and empowered by the Spirit for today’s challenges. Whether you feel stuck, stagnant, or spiritually dry, this message will encourage you to rediscover forgotten gifts and step into your calling as a discipling disciple, living fully for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

Pastor Derrill Corbin continues our summer series “Kingdom Come” by unpacking the final parable in Matthew 13 — the Parable of the Dragnet. Jesus reveals a sobering yet hope-filled picture of the Kingdom of Heaven: a wide net cast into the chaos of the sea, gathering people from every walk of life for a future sorting. He Derrill challenges us to see the Church as God’s chosen instrument in a restless, broken world, advancing His Kingdom with purpose and urgency.

This message explores three key truths: that the Kingdom is moving among the nations, the Church is the net God uses for His mission, and the coming judgment calls for bold, urgent action. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, weary from life’s chaos, or searching for purpose, this teaching is a call to renewal, courage, and Kingdom-first living.

Kingdom Come: Trading the Ordinary for the Life That Truly Matters is a deep dive into Jesus’ parables in Matthew 13, revealing the nature, value, and urgency of God’s Kingdom. Through these powerful stories, Jesus challenges us to move beyond a life of complacency and embrace the radical call of discipleship.

This series unpacks what it means to have a receptive heart, trust God’s justice, value the Kingdom above all else, and live with an eternal perspective. Each week, we will explore how the Kingdom starts small but grows powerfully, how it transforms everything it touches, and why it demands our full devotion.

In the end, the question remains: Will we simply hear these parables, or will we step fully into the life Jesus calls us to live?

This week, Pastor Derill unpacks one of Jesus’ shortest but most profound parables: the treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44). Through this simple story, Jesus invites us to see the Kingdom of God as the greatest treasure—worth everything we have.

The Kingdom often comes unexpectedly, hidden beneath the ordinary moments of life, but when we truly encounter its value, it changes everything. Like the man who joyfully sold all he had to gain the treasure, we are called to joyful surrender, trading what is temporary for what is eternal. This message challenges us to examine what we treasure most, to trust that the Kingdom’s worth far surpasses the cost, and to follow Jesus not out of obligation but out of joy. Whether you feel distant from God, stuck in routine, or searching for deeper meaning, this teaching invites you to see the Kingdom for what it truly is: the trade of a lifetime.

This week, Pastor Asim Trent explores two short but powerful parables of Jesus from Matthew 13—the mustard seed and the yeast—to reveal a profound truth: The Kingdom of God starts small, works quietly, and transforms completely. While our culture values the loud, the fast, and the spectacular, Jesus invites us into a kingdom that grows through faithfulness in the unseen and ordinary. From a tiny seed that becomes a sheltering tree, to invisible yeast that transforms an entire batch of dough, Jesus challenges us not to despise small beginnings or overlook the slow, internal work of God’s Spirit.

Encouraging you to trust God’s process, surrender every area of your life to His influence, and believe that what He starts—no matter how small—He has the power to grow and transform. If you're feeling discouraged by slow progress or wondering whether your faithfulness matters, this teaching will remind you: God does His most powerful work in what often feels like the least impressive moments. Let the Kingdom grow in you.

Pastor Derrill Corbin continues our Kingdom Come series with Jesus’ parable of The Wheat and the Weeds from Matthew 13. Through personal story and deep scriptural insight, we wrestle with one of life’s hardest questions: Why does God allow good and evil to grow side by side?

This message explores how the Kingdom of God is present in a world still filled with brokenness—and how we, as followers of Jesus, are called to live with humility, discernment, and faithfulness in the tension. You’ll discover why the presence of weeds doesn’t mean God is absent, and how we can trust His ultimate justice. Pastor Ben challenges us to examine what’s growing in our own hearts: the seed of Jesus or the seed of distraction, offense, or religion. As we wait for the final harvest, we’re called not to judge, uproot, or escape—but to stay rooted in grace, cultivate spiritual growth, and let God be the one who sorts and saves.

We’re continuing our journey through the Kingdom Parables in Matthew 13 with Pastor Derrill Corbin. This week’s message, “Soils of Our Hearts,” dives deeper into the Parable of the Sower, unpacking what Jesus revealed about the condition of our hearts. We revisit the foundational truth that the heart is the soil of the Kingdom—designed to respond to His word and destined to bear fruit.

Through the lens of four types of soil—footpath, rocky, thorny, and good ground—Pastor Derrill explores how the pressures of life, repetition, and time can compact the soil of our hearts, making them resistant to the transforming seed of the Kingdom. From personal stories to scriptural insights, you’ll discover how to break up the fallow ground, admit the hardened areas of your life, cultivate holy desire, and respond in obedience to the Spirit’s leading.

This message is a powerful call to examine the condition of your inner world and allow God to restore it for a fruitful future. Join us as we lean into His presence, soften our hearts, and receive the fresh rain of His righteousness.

Welcome to Mannahouse! In this powerful message titled “The Soil of the Kingdom”, Pastor Derrill Corbin kicks off our new summer series Kingdom Come—a deep dive into the Kingdom parables of Jesus found in the book of Matthew. This week, we explore the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), discovering how Jesus reveals profound spiritual truths through everyday illustrations.

This message challenges us to cultivate our hearts like a garden—recognizing that spiritual growth requires intentionality and stewardship. It also reminds us that our hearts are a battlefield, where the enemy seeks to snatch away potential before it takes root. But we are not powerless. We are called to guard our hearts, fight for fruitfulness, and trust that the soil of our lives was designed to respond to the voice of God.

In this opening message of our new summer series "Kingdom Come", Pastor Derrill Corbin launches us into a transformative journey through the parables of Jesus in Matthew 13. Titled “Secrets of the Kingdom”, this message challenges us to see beyond the surface of familiar stories and discover divine truths hidden in plain sight.

As summer invites us to the coast, BBQs, and river days, it’s also a powerful time to lean into spiritual growth. Jesus’ parables weren’t just illustrations—they were invitations into a different way of living, for those hungry to see and hear with kingdom eyes and ears. In this foundational message, we explore why Jesus taught in parables, how we can grow in spiritual understanding, and what it looks like to live a Kingdom-first life.

Whether you're at home, around a table with your Group, or starting your day with devotion, Matthew 13 can be your summer guide to intimacy with Jesus and clarity in your calling. Dive in with us as we discover the mysteries of God’s Kingdom—here and now.
