Pastor Stephen Kuert teaches from Colossians 1 that the true gospel is powerfully advancing all over the world—changing lives in places like Burundi and Congo just as much as in Oklahoma. He warns against mixing Jesus with cultural idols like materialism, individualism, and nationalism, calling believers back to the clear, true gospel that saves by grace through faith alone.

Pastor Rodney taught from Psalm 126, reminding us that building God’s Church starts with remembering His faithfulness and celebrating all He has already done so our faith rises for what He will do next. He emphasized that we must rely on God’s power, not our own, because only God's Spirit can bring true restoration, renewal, and life to dry places. Finally, he urged us to remain faithful in sowing and to trust that every prayer, act of service, and sacrifice planted in tears will one day return as a joyful harvest. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Rodney’s message, Lord of My (Our) Identity, centered on how faith in Jesus redefines who we are. Through Christ, we are adopted into God’s family—not by works, but by faith—becoming new creations clothed in His righteousness. Our identity is no longer shaped by our past, our labels, or what divides us, but by Christ Himself, who unites us as one body and calls us heirs of His eternal promise. Listen and be challenged.

In his sermon "Lord of My (Our) Friendships," Pastor Rodney emphasized that God designed us for relationship—first with Him, then with others. He explained that the enemy seeks to divide what God unites, but followers of Jesus are called to live counter-culturally by pursuing friendships that reflect God’s truth, grace, and purpose. True friendship begins with intimacy with God and extends outward as we initiate, cultivate, heal, or sometimes sever relationships so that every connection draws us closer to Christ and builds His Kingdom.

In her message “Lord of Our Expectations”, Kayla Anderson explores how our desire for control and specific outcomes often limits our faith. Through the stories of Jairus and the bleeding woman, she shows that Jesus rarely meets expectations the way we plan but He always offers something greater: His presence, compassion, and power. Kayla encourages believers to trust who Jesus is, not just what He can do, choosing to stay in His presence, Word, people, and surrender even when prayers seem unanswered, because His character and companionship exceed every expectation.

Pastor Rodney’s message "Lord of My Life" shows us that Jesus is not just someone to admire but someone to follow fully and surrender to. Drawing from Mark 3, he explains that while many came to Jesus for what He could do, few chose true discipleship—believing in Him, belonging to Him, behaving like Him, and preaching about Him. True discipleship begins with being with Jesus before doing for Him, allowing His power to transform us and flow through us to others. Following Jesus means living in such a way that our words, worship, and lives visibly preach who He is. Listen and be challenged.

In Part Two of Jesus in Culture Weekend, Dallas Jenkins shared how The Chosen was born from his desire to close the “stained-glass” gap between people and Jesus—and from a season of personal failure that reoriented him to the “five loaves and two fish” posture of obedience, which God multiplied into an unlikely, record-setting launch. He explained the show’s creative heartbeat: portray Jesus as fully God and fully human, let viewers see Him through the eyes of those who met Him, and use that authenticity to point people back to Scripture, an impact that’s also transforming the team itself (including cast/crew coming to faith and even baptism).

In part one of our Jesus in Culture Weekend, Mart Green shared how a powerful scene from The Chosen stirred his heart and led him to partner with Dallas and Amanda Jenkins to expand the show’s reach. Through his nonprofit Come and See, he’s working to translate The Chosen into 600 languages and keep it free worldwide, allowing hundreds of millions to encounter Jesus in their own heart language. He highlighted the show’s global impact—letters of lives transformed, stories from ministries around the world—and reminded us that the goal is simple: for one billion people to experience an authentic Jesus.

Pastor Samson’s sermon from Ezra 3 reminded us that our future is secure when surrendered to God. He showed how the Israelites, under Zerubbabel, rebuilt the temple by trusting God beyond their past regrets, present obstacles, and uncertain tomorrow. In the same way, we are called to release our yesterday, overcome today’s challenges, and yield our future plans so God can fulfill His greater, eternal purposes in our lives.
