If Heaven is real, and hell is real, what does that mean for the way we live today?

Few subjects carry as much eternal significance as what happens after death. Yet for many people, conversations about Heaven, hell, judgment, and salvation can be uncomfortable or confusing.

In this thought-provoking message, "Heaven Is Real. So Is Hell.", Pastor Ken Senchal examines what Jesus taught about eternity and reveals why understanding the reality of Heaven and hell should change not only what we believe, but how we love and reach the people around us.

Jesus warned about hell, but He also revealed the extraordinary heart of God: a Father who desires people to repent, experience salvation, and receive eternal life through Christ.

God's patience isn't indifference. It's mercy.

Through the powerful parables of Luke 15, Pastor Ken explores the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. Each story reveals God's relentless concern for people who are far from Him.

A shepherd searches for ONE lost sheep.

A woman searches for ONE lost coin.

A father celebrates the return of ONE lost son.

The message is unmistakable: ONE person matters to God.

This truth is at the very heart of OneChurch's vision: Changing the world ONE person at a time.

But understanding God's heart is only the beginning.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to participate in His mission. We've been equipped to grow in faith, build healthy relationships, serve others, and become disciples. Now it's time to intentionally help others experience the same transformation.

Pastor Ken introduces The Challenge of 3, a practical invitation for every believer to make an eternal difference:

INVITE ONE: Develop a lifestyle of invitation. You never know how a simple invitation to church could become someone's introduction to Jesus.

TELL ONE: Learn to share your faith. Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic to be powerful. God can use your story to reveal His goodness to someone else.

DISCIPLE ONE: Go beyond the invitation. Build relationships, pray for people, encourage spiritual growth, and help someone become a committed follower of Jesus.

This message is both a reminder of eternity and a challenge to live with greater purpose today.

You don't have to be a preacher to be a witness.

You don't have to know every answer to share the hope you've found.

And you don't have to reach everyone.

Start with ONE.

Whether you've been following Jesus for years, are exploring faith for the first time, or are wondering what Scripture teaches about life after death, this episode offers biblical truth, encouragement, and a meaningful next step.

WHO'S YOUR ONE?

Changing the world ONE person at a time.

If Heaven is really our future, shouldn't it change the way we live today?

When Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 14, their world felt like it was falling apart. Jesus was leaving. Judas would betray Him. Peter would deny Him.

Yet Jesus told them, "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me."

His answer to their troubled hearts was faith—and a reminder of their eternal home. This Isn't the End

In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores what happens when we stop living as though this temporary world is all there is and begin viewing our lives through the reality of eternity.

If Heaven is our future, we should:

Live like there is more.

The things we see are temporary, but the things we cannot see are eternal.

Live here as if we belong there.

Scripture tells us that our citizenship is in Heaven. That means eternity should shape our priorities, relationships, generosity and choices. This Isn't the End

Live to bring somebody with us.

If Jesus has changed your life, one of the most loving things you can do is help someone else know Him.

You don't need every theological answer. You don't need a platform.

Sometimes sharing Jesus begins with something as simple as:

"Let me tell you what Jesus has done in me."

As you listen, consider one important question:

Who is your ONE?

At OneChurch, we believe one person matters to God—and we're committed to Changing the World ONE Person at a Time.

🏠 Every home is being built on something.

The question isn't whether you're creating a culture in your home—you already are.

The question is:

WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING THAT CULTURE UPON?

In the conclusion of The Real You Lives at Home, Pastor Ken Senchal takes us to Jesus' words in Matthew 7:24–27 and the story of two builders.

One built his house on rock. The other built on sand.

The storms came to BOTH houses.

Jesus never promised that following Him would make our families storm-proof. Families still encounter sickness, financial pressure, conflict, disappointment, parenting challenges, grief and transition.

Instead, Jesus shows us how to build a life capable of STANDING THROUGH THE STORM.

And that requires more than simply hearing His words.

We have to LIVE them.

Pastor Ken explores the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually allowing His teaching to shape the culture of our homes.

Bible knowledge isn't enough. Sermon notes aren't enough. Simply identifying ourselves as Christians isn't enough.

Jesus becomes our foundation when His words become our WAY OF LIFE.

Through Deuteronomy 6, Pastor Ken then gives families practical ways to build Jesus into the everyday rhythm of the home through prayer, Scripture, conversations, discipleship and intentionally bringing Jesus into daily life.

It's not about making faith forced or awkward.

It's about making following Jesus NORMAL.

We don't just want homes that LOOK Christian.

We want homes that are actually being SHAPED BY CHRIST.

WHAT KIND OF HOME AM I BUILDING?

What if the greatest evidence of your spiritual growth isn't what happens at church—but what happens inside your home?

We often talk about love as something we feel. Scripture describes love as something we do.

In Week 3 of The Real You Lives at Home, Pastor Ken Senchal asks a challenging question:

Do the people who live with me experience the love of Christ based on how I treat them?

Using 1 Corinthians 13, Colossians 3, Philippians 2, Romans 12 and Ephesians 4, Pastor Ken explores three practical ways followers of Jesus can demonstrate Christlike love in their closest relationships.

Make room for mistakes. Give others the same patience and grace Christ continually gives us.

Learn to go second. Being right isn't always the same thing as being loving. Jesus demonstrated His strength by serving rather than demanding His own way.

Lose the scorecard. Love doesn't save receipts from every past failure so they can become ammunition in the next argument.

Unresolved offenses can slowly become a weight we carry into every interaction. As Pastor Ken explains, forgiveness doesn't mean an offense was acceptable, nor does it mean trust must immediately be restored. Instead, forgiveness means refusing to make another person's offense our permanent possession.

Jesus made room for broken people. He took the position of a servant. And through the cross, He wiped away the record of our sin.

If Jesus is changing the real you, the people closest to you should eventually be able to see it.

Listen now and consider:

What would change in your home if love became more than something you said—and became something you consistently did?

What if the clearest evidence of your spiritual maturity isn't how you act at church—but how you speak at home?

We can project one version of ourselves to the world, but eventually the mask comes off around the people closest to us.

And our words reveal what's really happening inside.

In The Language of Your Home, we unpack Ephesians 4:29–32 and discover why following Jesus should transform not only what we believe, but how we speak to our spouses, our children and the people we love most.

You'll discover three practical biblical principles:

• Let Jesus deal with what's in your heart. • Choose words that build up instead of tearing down. • Slow down and learn to speak grace.

Because sometimes the most spiritual thing you can say in a difficult moment is:

"Give me a minute. I want to respond well."

What would happen if our homes became places where people consistently heard words that were good, helpful and life-giving?

Listen now and ask God to change not only your words—but the heart those words come from.

Church can hide our rough edges — but home exposes them. In this episode, Pastor Demetrius Johnson launches a new series asking a hard question: is Jesus actually changing the person your family experiences every day?

Walking through Colossians 3:12–17, Pastor Johnson unpacks three keys to authentic faith at home:

1. Putting on the character of Jesus — mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience
2. Letting the peace of Jesus referee your thoughts and reactions
3. Allowing the word of Jesus to shape how you speak, forgive, and respond

The people closest to us deserve the best of our walk with Jesus, not the leftovers.

Five years ago, OneChurch was mostly a vision.

Today, that vision has faces, names and stories.

In this special Five-Year Anniversary message, Pastor Ken Senchal looks back at what God has done through OneChurch—and challenges us to look forward to the people God still wants to reach.

Over the past five years, we've seen more than 100 people give their lives to Christ, around 170 baptisms and nearly 100 Life Groups.

But the mission was never about numbers.

Every number has a name. Every name has a story. And every story matters to God.

Drawing from Habakkuk 2:2 and Luke 19:10, Pastor Ken returns to the vision God gave OneChurch:

Change the world one person at a time.

How do we do it?

Know God. Find Freedom. Discover Purpose. Make A Difference.

Jesus always saw the ONE—and as OneChurch begins its next five years, we're asking God to help us do the same.

There are people whose stories we don't know yet. They may live down the street, work beside us, sit in our classrooms or even be members of our own families.

Maybe God intends to reach them through us.

Thank you, God, for the last five years.

Now we're ready for the next five.

Father, show me my One.

What if abiding in Jesus isn't only about what He wants to do in you, but what He wants to do through you?

In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal continues the How to Abide in Jesus series by exploring one of the most practical expressions of a life connected to Christ: serving others.

Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches." A branch doesn't produce fruit for itself. The fruit is always for somebody else.

Using the simple S.E.E. framework, Pastor Ken challenges us to:

S — See the Need The closer we get to Jesus, the more we begin to notice the people Jesus notices.

E — Engage the Person Biblical compassion doesn't simply recognize someone's need. It moves toward them—even when it costs us time, energy, attention, convenience, or resources.

E — Extend Jesus Serving isn't about showing everyone what we're doing for Jesus. It's allowing others to see what Jesus can do through a life connected to Him.

We don't serve FOR God's love. We serve FROM God's love.

Sometimes it's a conversation, a meal, a ride, a phone call, a text, a prayer, or simply giving someone an hour of your time.

And through something ordinary, someone may catch a glimpse of an extraordinary Jesus.

As you listen, consider beginning each day with this simple prayer:

"Jesus, help me see who You want me to see today."

Share this episode with someone who could use this encouragement, and join us at One Church as we continue learning to follow Jesus and allow His life to flow through ours.

What if following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey?

In Acts 2, the early church didn't simply gather for a service—they created a community centered on Jesus. They shared life, worshiped together, prayed together, served one another, met practical needs, and helped each other grow.

In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores why biblical community is essential to abiding in Jesus.

Because the people God places around us can help us become more like Christ.

But authentic community requires more than simply showing up at church.

It requires us to move from attendance to belonging.

Pastor Ken explores three obstacles that can keep us from experiencing the kind of community God designed:

Pride and self-sufficiency — believing, "I've got this," when God created us to need one another.

Busyness and misplaced priorities — allowing our schedules to make spiritual community optional.

Past hurts and unresolved offenses — allowing what happened in unhealthy relationships to keep us from the healthy relationships God wants to bring into our lives.

The answer isn't isolation.

The answer to unhealthy community is healthy biblical community.

Ecclesiastes 4 reminds us that when one person falls, another can help them back up—and Scripture assumes that eventually, we all need someone.

So the question isn't whether you'll need community.

The question is:

Will you allow yourself to be part of one?

🎧 Listen to this powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal and discover what it means to abide in Jesus through community.

💬 After listening, ask yourself: Am I attending church—or am I truly sharing life with the people God has placed around me?
