Series: Turning Houses Into Homes

Speaker: Kris Segrest

This message challenges parents to rethink how they’re raising the next generation, asking a powerful question: are we shaping ornaments to protect or arrows to send? Drawing from Psalm 127, it calls families to intentionally disciple their children—preparing them for spiritual battle, grounding them in obedience and honor, and equipping them to live with purpose for God’s kingdom.

This sermon addresses the biblical model of womanhood and the traditional family structures. Pastor Kris examines the story of Jezebel from 1 Kings 21 as a cautionary example of a controlling, manipulative spirit that opposes God's design for women. He emphasizes that men and women are created equal in value but different in design—not competitors but completers of one another. The message challenges women to embrace biblical femininity characterized by submission to godly authority, honesty, and teachability, rather than control and manipulation. Pastor Kris also addresses how both genders can exhibit these negative traits and calls for a return to biblical patterns in marriage and family life, emphasizing that women have intrinsic value as image-bearers of God with unique gifts, including the ability to create life.

Key Verses: Ephesians 5:25-28, 1 Timothy 3:4-5

This sermon challenges men to embrace biblical masculinity by rejecting passivity and stepping into their God-given roles as spiritual leaders in their homes, churches, and communities. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, the pastor outlines five imperatives for men: be watchful, stand firm in faith, act like men, be strong, and let all be done in love. The message emphasizes that true manhood is not about physical strength or cultural stereotypes, but about taking responsibility, protecting one's family spiritually, standing for truth, and leading with sacrificial love. The sermon addresses contemporary challenges including the erosion of gender roles, the dangers of toxic empathy over biblical truth, and the need for men to actively disciple their families rather than abdicating leadership. It concludes by distinguishing biblical masculinity from worldly brutality, showing that strength without love is merely oppression, but strength guided by love can transform families, churches, and nations.

What if the future of our nation doesn't rest in political halls or government institutions, but right inside our own homes? This powerful exploration challenges us to examine the very foundation upon which we're building our families. Drawing from Matthew 7:24-27, we're confronted with two stark choices: building our lives on the solid rock of Christ or the shifting sands of feelings, fantasy, finances, and fairness. The message cuts through cultural romanticism about marriage to reveal a profound truth—our homes aren't primarily about our personal happiness, but about displaying God's glory to a watching world. When people look at our marriages, they should see a living picture of Christ and His church. This isn't just about staying together; it's about being 'built to last' through four essential anchors: Christ-centered purpose, covenant commitment, sacrificial love, and gospel-fueled forgiveness. The Leaning Tower of Pisa serves as a sobering reminder that without the right foundation, even the most impressive structures will eventually crumble. The question we must ask ourselves is honest and urgent: What kind of foundation have we built our homes on? Because when the storms come—and they will come—only those anchored to the Rock will stand firm, impacting generations to come.

Series: Tough Stuff on the Narrow Way

Speaker: Kris Segrest

In this message from Matthew 16:24, Pastor Kris unpacks Jesus’ clear and challenging call to true discipleship. Confronting the comfort-driven mindset often found in modern faith, the sermon invites believers to move beyond convenience and into authentic followership. Jesus’ words reveal that discipleship requires three intentional responses: denying self, taking up the cross, and following Him daily. The message highlights the tension between cultural Christianity and the radical commitment Jesus demands, reminding us that following Christ involves sacrifice, perseverance, and surrender. Ultimately, we’re encouraged with the promise that when we lay down our lives for Jesus, we discover the true and lasting life only He can give.
