Sunday Extended

In this episode, Pastors Jamie Grisham and Tommy Hodges dive deep into Romans 3, confronting a truth we often overlook: God is not limited by our failures.

Even when we fall short, even when we misrepresent Him, He remains faithful, holy, and just.

They unpack what it means for God to be working in spite of us, and why understanding our own brokenness is essential to experiencing the beauty of the gospel. If you’ve ever felt disqualified, discouraged, or unsure of your place in God’s story - this conversation is for you.

💡 Key Highlights:

• Why God doesn’t need our perfection to fulfill His promises

• The danger of shrinking God down to our understanding

• The power of grace when we realize “no one is righteous”

• How the righteousness of Jesus meets us right where we are

🎧 Tune in, be challenged, and be reminded:

God doesn’t give up on His people - even when His people get it wrong.

In this episode of Sunday Extended, Pastor Jamie Grisham and Pastor Tommy Hodges sit down to go deeper into the week’s message from Romans 2, where Paul confronts a hidden but dangerous issue in the church, self-righteousness.

After addressing blatant sin in Romans 1, Paul shifts his focus to the hearts of those who judge others while committing the same sins themselves. This conversation explores what it means to truly examine ourselves, move beyond religious performance, and embrace real transformation through the goodness of God.

Paul reminds us that grace isn’t a free pass to continue living the same way, it’s the doorway to a completely new life. Through honest reflection and Spirit-led conviction, God calls us not just to believe in Him, but to belong to Him and be changed by Him.

If you’ve ever struggled with judgment, comparison, or the tension between grace and truth, this episode will speak to you. It’s a powerful reminder that God sees the heart, and He is always inviting us deeper.

Key Scriptures:

Romans 1:32; Romans 2:1-5, 11; Luke 6:37-38; Mark 7:15

Tune in and join the conversation as we reflect on what true repentance and transformation look like in the life of a believer.

This week on Sunday Extended, Pastor Jamie and Casey dive deeper into one of the most challenging and life-changing teachings of Jesus: forgiveness.

Drawing from Matthew 6 and Matthew 18, we unpack what it means to truly forgive—not just once, but continually—and how that forgiveness unlocks our freedom and our future.

Whether you’re wrestling with betrayal, bitterness, or a heart that’s just tired of giving grace, this episode will remind you:

Jesus didn’t negotiate your debt—He canceled it. And now, He calls you to do the same.

Highlights:

• Why forgiveness isn’t about feelings, but faith

• What Jesus meant when He said, “Forgive everyone. Every time.”

• The parable of the unforgiving servant, and how it hits home

• Five common reasons we hold back forgiveness

• Four practical ways to start forgiving today

• Why gratitude is your greatest weapon in the fight against bitterness

Scriptures: Matthew 6:7–15, Matthew 18:21–35, Romans 12:19, Colossians 3:13

It’s time to release the debt, take the weight off your heart, and move forward in freedom.
Tap in, and let’s talk about what Jesus said, what He meant, and how we can live it out today.

“You cannot force me to live in the sin of unforgiveness. I choose to FORgive. I choose to Move FORward!”

This week on Sunday Extended, we’re joined by Pastor Jamie, yes, even during his sabbatical, as he sits down with Pastor Tommy to dive deeper into the powerful parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7).

What happens when sheep stray? Whether it’s distraction, fear, culture, or distance from the Shepherd, Jesus shows us that every single one matters.

In this episode, you’ll hear how the Good Shepherd notices, knows, searches, carries, and celebrates every return, with compassion and relentless love.

From personal stories to pastoral insight, you’ll be reminded that God doesn’t give up on the one—and neither should we.

Who is your one?

Parables: The Prodigal Son | Luke 15:11–32

“He was lost and is found.”

This week in our Parables series, we dive into one of the most powerful and personal stories Jesus ever told: The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32). It’s a story of rebellion, regret, redemption—and the relentless grace of the Father.

In this message, we unpack:

• Why it’s not about inheritance, but intimacy

• How rules without relationship can lead to resentment

• And the way the Father’s grace flows, even when our gratitude doesn’t

Whether you relate to the younger son who ran or the older brother who stayed, this parable speaks to every heart. Jesus reminds us that God doesn’t give up on His kids—He runs toward us, not away.

What you’ll learn:

• The cultural context behind this story

• Why Jesus told it in response to religious criticism

• What it means for us as both sons and servants today

Let’s be a people who don’t condemn when the prodigal comes home—we celebrate.

This week, Pastor Tommy and Jennifer dive deeper into Sunday’s powerful message from Luke 14: “The Great Banquet No One Expected.”

Jesus didn’t come to adjust the system—He came to flip it upside down. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to live counter-culturally in the Kingdom of God. From choosing humility over honor, to loving enemies, turning the other cheek, and serving instead of striving—this conversation challenges us to rethink what greatness looks like.

Topics we explore:

• Why the Kingdom calls us to invite the unseen and uncelebrated

• How humility positions you for elevation

• The difference between building a brand and carrying your cross

• Why forgiveness is freedom

• What happens when you live open-handed

You’ll hear stories, practical takeaways, and encouragement for applying this upside-down Kingdom to your everyday life.

“Those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Luke 14:11)

Sometimes, the healing we need comes not through noise or power, but through a quiet whisper.This message dives into: • Hearing God through mental and emotional noise • The strength of vulnerability • Resilience through adversity • Stepping into God’s purpose—even when you feel emptyKey Scriptures:1 Kings 19:9–19 | Psalm 46:10 | Proverbs 19:21You’re not alone in the cave—and God still has a plan for your life.

“SHE SAID IT… BUT HE SAW IT!” | 1 Kings 19:1-3

Pastor Jamie continues our All In Your Head mental health series with a powerful look at how fear, intimidation, and toxic thoughts can derail even the strongest among us. Elijah had just seen God move mightily, but one word from Jezebel sent him running in fear. Why? Because how you view things determines how you do things.
