This week we were honored to hear from Jon Riddlehoover of Central Storehouse in East Fort Worth.

Central Storehouse exists to love neighbors and feed souls—meeting practical needs while sharing the hope of Jesus. Through simple, faithful conversations and prayer, more than 475 people have come to faith.

From Colossians 4:2–6, Jon called us to three clear commitments:

Pray for the gospel.

Live the gospel.

Speak the gospel.

In a community facing deep hardship, the church stands as both help and hope.

Watch the full message at the link below and consider how God might use you right where you are.

God delights in you. That truth anchors everything.

In the final message of our “Father Heart of God” series, we move from theology to practice. If we are truly sons and daughters, how do we live like it?

We look at Jesus’ early life in Luke 2—His growth, His devotion to the Father, and the moment at His baptism when the Father declares delight over Him before any public ministry begins. Identity comes before accomplishment. Approval comes before performance.

Your identity begins as a son or daughter. Everything else is assignment.

This message centers on the Father’s heart and the invitation to live from a place of belonging rather than striving. Scripture reveals God as Father and calls us to abide in Jesus as our primary calling. Work, roles, and responsibilities flow from that relationship and never define it.

Everyone has an opinion about greatness. Scripture gives us clarity.

This message takes us from cultural debates about the “greatest of all time” to Jesus’ words in Matthew 18, where greatness is revealed through humility, dependence, and childlike faith. God alone stands as truly great, and His kingdom elevates trust over self-reliance and surrender over status.

What you believe about God shapes everything about your life.

This message invites us to examine the images of God we carry and to receive the truth Scripture reveals: God calls Himself Father. Jesus spoke to Him as “Abba,” inviting us into a relationship marked by closeness, trust, and belonging. Through Christ, we are adopted, named, and welcomed into God’s family with intention and joy.

This sermon speaks to wounded hearts, misplaced images of God, and the deep longing to be known and loved. It leads us into Romans 8 and the freedom of living as sons and daughters who cry out, “Abba, Father,” with confidence and hope.

In this message from 1 John 3, we are invited to lean in and hear the Father’s heart. God calls us His children, not because of performance, but because of His great love. Our identity is secure. Our place in His family is real. Our calling is to abide in Him and enjoy His delight.

This sermon leads us into the freedom of living from belovedness — where service flows from relationship, obedience grows from trust, and healing begins as we receive the Father’s love.

Life can shift without warning, and spiritual battles often arrive the same way. This message from Ephesians 6 speaks directly to those moments when confusion, pressure, and weariness hit hard.

Scripture reminds us that following Jesus places us in a real spiritual fight, one that calls for readiness, dependence on God’s strength, and a life shaped by truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, prayer, and the Word of God. God provides armor that guards the heart, steadies the mind, and equips believers to stand firm when the battle feels close and personal.

This sermon calls us to stand together in community, stay rooted in prayer, and live from a posture of surrender to Christ. Freedom and strength grow where trust replaces self-reliance.

Freedom stands at the center of the Christian life, and Scripture calls us to guard it with courage and faith.

In this message from Ephesians 6, we step into the reality of spiritual battle and the strength God provides to stand firm. Paul reminds us that the struggle is spiritual, not against people, and that God has fully equipped His people with armor designed to protect the heart, steady the mind, anchor our steps, and confront lies with truth.

This sermon calls us to daily dependence on God’s power, constant prayer, deep grounding in Scripture, and shared strength within Christian community. It invites believers to suit up with intention and challenges seekers to surrender to Christ as the starting point of true freedom.

Hope shapes how we live, rest, endure, and love.

In this message, we explore a hope anchored in Jesus—His death, resurrection, and promised return. This hope brings real comfort in anxious moments, invites deep rest in God’s presence, confronts our self-reliance, and fuels lives of obedience and love. Rooted in Scripture and sustained by God’s faithfulness, biblical hope stands firm through uncertainty and suffering.

This sermon calls us to hold fast, live expectantly, and share the hope we’ve received with a world longing for something sure.

In this message, Neil Childs leads us beyond a sentimental view of the manger and into the breathtaking truth of the incarnation. Jesus enters history as the eternal Creator who takes on flesh, steps into human suffering, and shines where darkness once ruled. From Isaiah’s promise of light in anguished places to John’s declaration that darkness cannot overcome it, Scripture reveals a Savior whose victory is present, ongoing, and unstoppable.

This message invites us to see Christmas as God’s decisive action in a broken world—and to live as people shaped by the light that still shines today.
