In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the picture of yard work to show how cutting back, growing up, and walking in freedom requires effort—but it’s worth the work. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we learn that God is the one who sanctifies us, but He can only sanctify what we surrender.

Through four practical steps—Yielding, Alignment, Renewal, and Discipline—we discover how spiritual growth happens when we stay committed to the process. Sanctified doesn’t mean perfect; it means committed. And just like yard work, transformation takes time, attention, and a willingness to keep it between the lines.

In Don’t Quit at “I Do”, Pastor Jarod takes us from the tragic fallout between Cain and God to the fiery outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

With powerful illustrations, cultural backstory, and scriptural depth, this message confronts a sobering truth: it’s possible to do spiritual things—sing, serve, give—without ever truly listening to God. Just like Cain, we can go through the motions while resisting correction, forfeiting favor. But there’s good news—Jesus has with a Spirit of freedom, inviting us into a deeper, ongoing relationship.

Whether you’ve said “I do” to Jesus and grown cold, or you've said “I do” to things you now regret, God’s voice is calling. This is your invitation to be filled again, to walk by the Spirit, and to wear the wedding garments of fire. Don’t quit where covenant begins—don’t quit at “I do.”

From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience.

With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” Instead of owning his part, Adam deflected blame to Eve—and even to God.

This message explores what happens when we gamble with blame:

* Why our default is to find fault upward (with God) when pain comes sideways (from others)

* How blame leads to bondage, but confession leads to freedom (Proverbs 28:13)

* How Jesus not only empathizes with our pain but empowers us to walk in victory

* What it means to identify the real enemy—and stop letting lies shape our identity

🎯 You’ll learn a biblical acronym—CRAI—to help you break the cycle:

Confess, Renounce, Approach, Identify

If you’ve ever struggled with shame, resentment, spiritual confusion, or the temptation to blame God for your past—this message is for you.

Are you hiding behind a version of faith that looks good on the outside but conceals fear, shame, and distance from God?

In this compelling message, Pastor Jarod Smith takes us back to Genesis 3 to expose the first "cover-up" in human history—when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to hide their shame. Through biblical insight, personal stories, and spiritual revelation, we uncover what fig leaf faith really is: a faith built on appearance, performance, and self-reliance.

You’ll discover:

- Why hiding from God always leads to emptiness

- How the enemy uses doubt and desire to distort God’s Word

- What it means that God clothed Adam and Eve—foreshadowing Christ

- And how Jesus came not to expose you, but to cover you with grace

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to look put together on the outside while falling apart inside, this message is for you.

In this series on Freedom, Pastor Jarod shares a message about the Tree of Life. Drawing from Genesis 2, he explores why God placed two trees in the middle of the garden and how true love requires the freedom to choose. The message highlights that God’s commands are not about control but relationship—and that real freedom is found not in autonomy, but in walking with God. Through the stories of Adam and Peter, we see how God meets us with questions, not condemnation, and how the cross—referred to in Scripture as a tree—becomes the place where freedom is fully restored.

God's Resume | Mike Cole, Executive Pastor

What if God had a resume? This message explores how God introduces Himself to Moses as “I AM,” showing us that He doesn’t need to be defined by accomplishments — He just is.

His presence spans all of existence: He is the Father above us, the Son who walks beside us, and the Spirit who lives within us. God’s objective has always been the same — to be in relationship with us.

And even now, Jesus is interceding on our behalf, not as a distant memory, but as a living reality. We are part of His resume too — God is trusting us to reflect Him to the world. You’re not disqualified. You’re chosen. He’s sharing His glory with you.

Receive the Holy Spirit | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor

In John 20, the resurrected Jesus breathes on His disciples and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” This sacred moment mirrors the Genesis account of God breathing life into Adam, symbolizing the disciples' spiritual rebirth—regeneration through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus then immediately commissions them—not with power displays or signs—but with the divine mandate to forgive. This reveals a core truth: the Holy Spirit’s first work in us is not outward power, but inward freedom.

The Greek word kekratēntai ("retained") implies that to withhold forgiveness is to retain the offense, to grip it tightly, which results in bondage—not just for the offender, but for the one holding on. Unforgiveness becomes a spiritual prison. But where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor. 3:17).

Through personal story and Scripture, we see that forgiving people are freed people—not because others deserve it, but because Christ forgave us first. He didn’t just set us free from sin; He set us free to forgive sin. This is the Spirit-empowered path to healing, peace, and fruitfulness.

What Happened In The Garden | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor

When Peter stepped into the tomb, he didn’t find chaos—he found order. The face cloth was folded and set apart, like a quiet declaration from Jesus: “I’m not done. I’m coming back.” It wasn’t just a burial detail—it was a priestly statement. Just like the High Priest left his garments behind when the work was finished, Jesus left behind the linen as a sign: Sacrifice accepted. Atonement complete. Death defeated. And in a garden—a place that echoes Eden—a woman named Mary heard her name called by the risen Jesus. Just one word, and her world changed forever. This message is a reminder: the garden story has been rewritten. The curse is broken. Jesus is alive. And your seat at the table is ready.

Victory Now | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor

Palm Sunday is more than a historical moment—it’s a prophetic reminder that Jesus didn’t come just to be celebrated, He came to conquer. The crowd’s cry of “Hosanna” was really “Yasha-Na,” a passionate shout of Victory Now. This message challenges us to shift from passive waiting to active believing—because in Jesus, victory isn’t just possible, it’s present. Whether it’s breakthrough, healing, deliverance, or restoration, the invitation is clear: you don’t have to wait for the right moment, the right season, or the right feeling. The King is here. And when Jesus shows up, the gates break open, graves lose their grip, and every enemy is put on notice. So what are we waiting for? Lift your voice. Raise your faith. Step into the moment and declare—Victory Now.
