Good Lies We Believe 👀

We continue our Romans series where Pastor Chad tackled 3 lies that keep us from truly depending on Christ:

1️⃣ “I’m not that person.”➡️ Comparing yourself to others won’t make you right with God (Romans 2:1-5)

2️⃣ “I’m not that lost.”➡️ It’s not about how far you’ve strayed—it’s about trusting in Jesus’ finished work (Romans 2:16-20)

3️⃣ “I’m not that bad.”➡️ Even our best efforts fall short. Rely on Christ, not your own goodness (Romans 2:21-29)

We don’t need to try harder—we need to depend deeper. 💯

Pastor Chad continued our Romans series by talking about the wrath of God. In times like these, it’s not always easy or comfortable to think about God’s wrath. But Pastor Chad reminded us that despite those feelings, we actually need God’s wrath. If grace is God’s love, His wrath is a reflection of His perfect justice. 🙏

Romans 1:18 says: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” (NKJV)

God’s wrath isn’t impulsive—it’s deliberate. It’s against those who reject good and embrace evil. We’re living in a time where we’re witnessing His passive wrath on a society that has lost respect for life and morality. In these times, we need to fall to our knees and repent. 🙌

Let His wrath help us look within, identify the wickedness in our own hearts, and recognize the brokenness in the world so we can bring God’s hope and grace to others. ✝️

What a night in Johnson County! 🙌

We officially opened our doors, and it was an incredible turnout! So many new faces came to hear God’s Word, and countless new connections and friendships were formed. 🤝

Pastor Chad kicked off our new Romans series preaching live from the Johnson County location — and it was a powerful reminder of the transformation the Gospel brings to everyone.

The Gospel brings:✨ Promise – Prophetic words fulfilled👤 Person – Jesus, the image of the invisible God🎁 Provision – Grace delivered into our lives🎯 Purpose – It’s for you, but not about you. It’s all for His name’s sake

“…concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord… declared to be the Son of God with power… Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations”— Romans 1:2–6 (NKJV)

We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to see what God continues to do through this new community! 🕊️🔥

What if revival isn’t an event, but a new normal?

In this Revive Week message, guest speaker Drew Worsham (pastor, church planter, and Christian illusionist) opens Acts 4 to show how the early church lived with a clear message, were marked by Jesus, and were motivated by the cross, and why we can’t “come have revival and then go back to normal.”

Drew shares a memorable Rubik’s Cube illustration, powerful gospel clarity, and a call to move from performance to proximity to Jesus. If you’ve ever felt spiritually “scrambled,” this message will help you place your life in the hands of the One who can truly transform it.

Key Scriptures: Acts 4:1–22; Ephesians 2:1–5; John 15:1–5; Romans 1:16

Big Idea: The gospel isn’t about making bad people good; it’s about making dead people alive in Christ.

3 Anchors from Acts 4

Message Was Clear — “There is salvation in no one else…” (Acts 4:12)

Marked by Jesus — People could tell they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).

Motivated by the Cross — “We cannot help but speak…” (Acts 4:20).

About Drew Worsham

Drew is a pastor and church planter (San Antonio, TX) who’s spent two decades proclaiming the gospel around the world, often integrating illusions/mentalism as a bridge to the message of Jesus.

Pastor Phil wrapped up our Multipliers series with such a powerful reminder: God’s plan has always been to build Himself a family and a kingdom without end (Gen. 1:26–28). 🌎

From the very beginning, God called us to:➡️ Be fruitful → Evangelism➡️ Multiply → Discipleship➡️ Fill the earth → World Missions

But here’s the truth: multiplication starts with fruitfulness!! The mark of maturity isn’t just growing for ourselves, but reproducing—raising up spiritual sons and daughters who can multiply too! ✖️

We are the bride of Christ, and intimacy with Him is what produces fruit. Will we be a barren bride, or a fruitful one?

Jesus said, “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (John 15:8). 🙏🏾

So we have to ask ourselves: What will you live for, and what will you give your life to?

Discover why you were created and how to live with eternal purpose. In this powerful young adult sermon from Paradigm KC, Pastor Chad teaches what it means to glorify God in everything you do—whether at work, school, or in your relationships. Learn how to stop chasing empty idols, live with Kingdom impact, and multiply your faith into the lives of others.

A sunflower lives for just 60 days, yet in its death comes its purpose: multiplication. In the same way, followers of Jesus are called to live for something far greater than themselves. In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks the ultimate “why” behind our calling—the glory of God.

Whether you’re in Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Johnson County, or joining online, this message will challenge you to see your life through an eternal lens. Learn why God’s glory is the centerpiece of the Bible, why we so often miss it, and how to practically live every moment—from work to worship—for His name’s sake.

📖 Key Scriptures: John 12:24-26, Isaiah 48:11, Psalm 19:1, Ephesians 1:4-6, Revelation 21:23, 1 Corinthians 10:31

🎯 You’ll Learn:

1️⃣ What God’s glory really means (Hebrew kabod, Greek doxa)

2️⃣ Why we’re prone to be “glory thieves”

3️⃣ How to give God glory in every area of life

The connection between glorifying God and enjoying Him fully

Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” And everything changed. 🙌

This Tuesday, Pastor Jon talked about what it really means to be a disciple — not just someone who believes, but someone who follows. 👣

A disciple gives Jesus attention, availability, and authority. And when God calls, disciples say YES — even when it’s uncomfortable.

We make the choice to:💬 Confess our fears🔥 Fight apathy🤝 Reject self-reliance🌱 Embrace the quiet work of multiplying the Gospel

The proof? Transformation. Saul went from blind to bold — from feared to faithful.

Discipleship isn’t just about knowing Jesus. It’s about becoming like Him.

Let’s be people who say, “Here I am, Lord.” 🙏

Sacrifice isn’t something we grow out of as Christians—it’s the foundation of our faith. 🙏🏽

Last night, Pastor Chad continued our Multipliers series with a message on The Method of the Multiplier — and it all comes down to this:

1. Worship Jesus

2. Lay down your life for Him

3. Follow Him wholeheartedly

You can’t make Jesus known while trying to stay in control or clinging to things that are holding you back from the purpose God has placed inside you.

Jesus said in John 12:24 “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain…” 🌾

Just like sunflowers naturally turn toward the light for life, our hearts were made to turn toward Jesus for abundant life🌻

Lastnight Pastor Chad broke down Romans 6:23 which reminds us that sin brings death—but God offers a free gift: eternal life through Jesus. No amount of good works or religion can bridge the gap… only the cross can!

You can’t earn God’s love. You can only receive it. Are you in a right relationship with God or looking for ways to earn his love? 💭

Last night we also had the opportunity to pray with our Johnson County campus leaders as they prepare to allow God to use them in new ways!
