What happens when the thing standing in front of you is bigger than anything you've ever faced? 

In this message, Taking Down a Giant, Pastor John Huseman walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and shows why David was more prepared for that fight than anyone else on the field. Drawing from Acts 13:22, 1 Samuel 17, Psalm 34:1–3, and John 14:1, this sermon lays out four things you need to take down whatever giant is taunting you right now. 

In this message, you'll discover: 

• Why what you consistently look at will shape your perspective
• Why you don't have to get more godly before you start doing godly things
• How to trade a victim mentality for a miracle memory
• Why other people's armor will never fit you, and what to do about it
• Why faith isn't just believing, it's speaking

Whether your giant is discouragement, fear, addiction, your past, insecurity, or a relationship that keeps pulling you under, this message will remind you that God has called you to be more than a conqueror, and that means there are some things you're meant to conquer.

What if you've had the answer the whole time and just never applied it?

In this message, Putting On Peace, Pastor John Huseman opens Isaiah 26:3 and John 14:27 and shows why so many Christians know the Bible but never actually apply it. Drawing from Matthew 4, Philippians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Romans 8:31, this sermon breaks down exactly what Jesus did when the enemy came at Him, and how you can do the same thing when the "what if monster" shows up in your mind.

In this message, you'll discover:

-Why knowing Scripture isn't the same as applying it (and the sunscreen story that proves it)
-Why the enemy waited until day 40 to tempt Jesus, and when he'll come after you
-Why Satan always attacks the last thing God said He gave you
-What Jesus did three times in a row that made the devil leave
-Why you may have to speak God's Word over your situation more than once

Whether worry has been living rent-free in your head for years, fear keeps showing up at the worst moments, or you've been reading the Bible without knowing how to actually use it, this message will show you how to take authority over your thought life and walk in the peace Jesus already gave you.

What if the thing you've been running from is exactly where Jesus is waiting for you?

In this message, A Divine Connection, Pastor John Huseman walks us through John 4 and the woman at the well and shows how Jesus went 40 miles out of His way to meet one person on her worst day. Drawing from John 4:3–42, this sermon reveals a Jesus who isn't there to shame you, take from you, or add to your pain, but to give you something the world could never offer.

In this message, you'll discover:

-Why she came to the well at noon, and what that says about the weight she was carrying
-What Jesus actually meant by "if you only knew the gift that God has for you"
-Why Jesus revealed everything He knew about her, and why it wasn't condemnation
-Why this is the longest recorded one-on-one conversation Jesus ever had, and the first time He said "I am the Messiah"
-How Jesus turned her place of deepest shame into the place of her greatest redemption

Whether you've been looking for fulfillment in relationships, success, or anything else that keeps leaving you empty, or you've been avoiding the one place that reminds you of your worst chapter, this message will remind you that Jesus already knows everything and still calls you dear. And today can be the day.

What if the spiritual battle you're actually in is a lot quieter than you think?

In this message, The Battle for Your Trust, Pastor Alex Roman walks us through Genesis 3 to show how the enemy's oldest strategy is still one of his most effective ones. Getting you to doubt God. Drawing from Genesis 3, James 1:14–15, and Ephesians 2:10, this sermon names the three lies the enemy has used since the garden, and gives us three practical ways to fight back.

In this message, you'll discover:

Why the real spiritual battle isn't dramatic, it's quiet, and it happens in what you believe

-The three lies the enemy has been feeding people since the very beginning
-Why "the lie you believe becomes the life you live"
-What Jesus did in the wilderness that Adam and Eve didn't do in the garden
-Three practical steps to name the lie, know the truth, and take the next step

Whether you've been wrestling with doubt, quietly compromising in an area you thought "wasn't hurting anyone," or wondering if God really is holding out on you, this message will remind you that you don't fight this battle in your own strength, because Jesus already won it.

What if the miracle you've been waiting for is on the other side of one honest yes?

In this message, Pastor John Huseman walks us through Luke 5 and shows how Peter's first encounter with Jesus reveals what revival actually looks like, a choice to let Him into your boat, into your business, into every part of your life you've kept at a distance. Drawing from Luke 5:1–7, Joshua 24:15, Ephesians 3:20, and Galatians 6:9, this sermon reframes revival not as a feeling, but as a decision. And it costs something.

In this message, you'll discover:

-Why revival isn't a mood, it's a choice you make on purpose
-What Jesus is really asking when He climbs into your "boat"
-Why deeper with Jesus always leads to sacrifice and to serve
-What Peter's "at Your word, I will obey" unlocked, and how to say it yourself
-Why some of Jesus's greatest miracles happened at the lowest place on the map (Galilee, 700 feet below sea level)

Whether you're feeling dry in your faith, stuck in a season that hasn't produced the harvest you hoped for, or unsure whether Jesus really wants to get involved in the parts of your life you've kept private, this message will remind you that a deeper yes is where revival starts.

Luke 5:1–7

What if your biggest problem isn't nearly as big as you think it is?

In this message, Big God, Small Problems, Pastor John Huseman walks us through the life of Moses and shows how the same God who parted the Red Sea, redeemed a murderer, and lit up a burning bush is the same God with you today. Drawing from Exodus 1, 2, 3, and 14, plus Genesis 50, Romans 8, and Joshua 1, this sermon anchors three truths that shrink every problem you're carrying.

In this message, you'll discover:

Why your problem is never a match for God's plan (start with a baby in a basket)
What Moses did when the whole nation panicked at the Red Sea
How to stop letting your past keep you from your future
Why "God's Word is louder" is the only response that silences the accuser
How the burning bush reveals the one thing you actually need (Exodus 3:12)

Whether you're in a problem right now, just coming out of one, or bracing for the next one, this message will remind you that the same God who was with Moses is with you, and that's all you actually need.

What would happen if a nation actually acted like its foundation was God?

In this July 4th message, Foundations, Pastor John Huseman walks us back to America's beginning and shows how our founding fathers built this nation on prayer, fasting, and dependence on God. Drawing from Psalm 11:3, Psalm 35, and Isaiah 58, and pulling from original documents, letters, and prayer proclamations preserved by WallBuilders, this sermon reveals how deeply woven Jesus was into the fabric of America's origin, and what that means for the way we live and pray today.

In this message, you'll discover:
-Why the First Continental Congress opened with a two-hour prayer session
-What God spoke to our founding fathers through Psalm 35 as they went to war
-The 1,400 prayer proclamations issued by our government between 1774 and 1815
-What George Washington wrote across 250 wartime letters about the miraculous hand of God
-Why fasting and prayer are still the spiritual weapons God has given every one of us today
