Have you ever felt caught between two worlds—longing for God but clinging to idols?

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls God’s people to stop wavering. On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cried out in vain, but Elijah prayed—and fire fell from heaven. Through this story, Pastor Joby invites us to examine where we place our trust and to remember that our God never fails. Whether in drought, in doubt, or in an impossible situation, He is enough.

What step of obedience is God asking you to take today?

What kind of man—or woman—are you becoming? In a time of compromise, corruption, and fear, Elijah stood firm. Confronting kings, resisting evil, and obeying God no matter the cost, he shows us what strong and good leadership looks like — for both men and women.

In this week’s message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to reject fear, refuse passivity, and live with the courage that comes from the Spirit of God. Whether you’re leading in your home, workplace, or church, Elijah’s life reminds us that saved doesn’t mean soft — and faith means standing firm on the Word of the Lord.

What do you do when you’re staring at an impossible situation? In the middle of famine and heartbreak, Elijah is confronted with what looks like an impossible situation — a widow’s son has died. Her hope is gone, and her faith is hanging by a thread.

In this week’s message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Joby shows us that even in the darkest moments, God invites us to bring what little faith we have and trust Him to do what only He can do. Elijah’s story reminds us that our hope isn’t in our circumstances — it’s in a God who hears, a God who moves, and a God who still brings life to dead places.

What’s the last thing God told you to do… and are you doing it?

When God told Elijah to “Arise and go,” it didn’t make sense. He was sent to an unlikely place, to meet an unlikely person, with an impossible need. But Elijah trusted and obeyed—and God provided every step of the way.

In this message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Ryan Britt reminds us: God’s commands always come with promises, but obedience still requires trust.

What if your calling didn’t depend on your résumé but your obedience? In a time of political chaos and spiritual darkness, Elijah enters the biblical narrative from the hills of Tishbe with no credentials, no intro, and no pedigree—but full of the power of God.

In this first message from our new series, Pastor Joby walks us through the moment Elijah enters the biblical story and reminds us: God often chooses the overlooked and underqualified to speak His Word and change the world.

If you've ever wondered whether God could use someone like you, Elijah's story is just the beginning.

In the final week of the In the Arena series, Pastor Joby unpacks what it means to be angry like Jesus and what to do about it. In John 2, we see Jesus flip tables in the temple, not out of sinful rage but with righteous anger that leads to right action. What stirs your anger? Is it about defending yourselves or protecting what God loves most?

Life isn’t a playground- it’s an arena. In this message, we unpack how the story of the Passover points us to the ultimate battle Jesus fought and won for us on the cross. From the first Exodus to the final victory at the empty tomb, you’ll see how God steps in when we can’t win the fight ourselves.

Whether you’re weary from your spiritual battles, feeling stuck in bondage or just need a reminder that God has never lost a fight, this message will help you stand firm and rest in the victory Jesus has already won.

In Week 4 of In The Arena, Pastor Joby takes us into Genesis 25 and 32 to unpack the story of Jacob — the deceiver who spent his whole life wrestling for control, until one night he found himself wrestling God Himself. Through Jacob’s struggle, betrayal, and the wrestling match that changed his name to Israel, we see that real victory doesn’t come by fighting God, but by finally surrendering to Him.

If you’ve been fighting in your own strength, it’s time to quit wrestling and truly win — by surrendering everything to the One who already wrestled death for you and won.

In week three of In the Arena, Pastor Joby walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and the true meaning of the David and Goliath story. It's not about us being brave enough to slay our own giants. It's about a greater David, Jesus, who has already won the victory we could never win on our own. Whether you’re staring down fear, addiction, brokenness, or doubt, the battle isn’t yours to win—it's already been won at the cross. You don’t need a cheerleader; you need a champion. And good news: you have one.

In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby dives into Acts 19 to show us how the same gospel power that dismantled Ephesus’s demonic stronghold still fights for us today.

Paul didn’t bring gimmicks or self-help hacks—he wielded the Spirit to rend magic books worth a fortune, ignite genuine repentance, and spark revival through worship, confession, fellowship, and generosity. But decades later, Ephesus had abandoned its first love. Jesus’s tender rebuke—“Do you love me?”—reminds us that our authority flows not from programs or performance, but from a heart rooted in Christ.

If you’re weary of fighting in your own strength, longing to rekindle passion for Jesus, or ready to wield gospel-fueled weapons against every chain, this sermon will equip you to step into the arena and watch Him move.
