Pastor Chad teaches that when we face situations beyond our ability to solve, we should follow Jehoshaphat’s example by turning our eyes to God. Rather than focusing on the size of the problem, we should remember God’s greatness and past faithfulness, stand on His promises, pray His Word, and trust Him to fight the battle. He emphasizes that resistance and difficult circumstances can actually draw us closer to God and take us higher in faith.

Associate Pastor Adam Baird's sermon, "New Approach, Same Throne," centered on Hebrews 4:14–16, emphasizing that because of Jesus Christ, believers no longer have to approach God with fear, shame, or a performance mindset. Instead, Jesus, our compassionate High Priest, understands our weaknesses, invites us into God's presence with confidence, and offers mercy for our past, grace for our future, and help for our present needs. Through personal testimony and biblical teaching, Baird encouraged those burdened by sin, failure, addiction, or discouragement to stop believing they must "clean themselves up" before coming to God, and instead boldly enter the throne of grace just as they are, trusting in Christ's finished work rather than their own efforts.

Missions Pastor Terry Harris teaches that every believer has been given the anointing of the Holy Spirit, not just pastors or church leaders, and that this anointing empowers Christians to fulfill God's purpose, overcome spiritual opposition, and impact others for Christ. Using the story of Jehu's anointing in 2 Kings 9, he explains that God's power is what transforms lives, breaks strongholds, and advances His kingdom. Harris challenges believers to cultivate that anointing through salvation, prayer, God's Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that a Spirit-filled life enables ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for God's glory.

Pastor Chad teaches from 1 Chronicles 4:9–10, using the prayer of Jabez to show that God's favor is available to those who live in alignment with Him and seek Him in faith. He explains that believers should pray for God's blessing, greater influence to advance His kingdom, His empowering presence, and His protection while trusting that God hears and answers persistent, faith-filled prayer. Ultimately, the message encourages Christians to pursue a life of spiritual substance, rely on God's strength rather than their own, and confidently call on Him, knowing He is faithful to respond.

Pastor Chad teaches that true success comes not from pursuing power or outward achievement, but from living a life that reflects God's character. Drawing from Proverbs 3, he explains that God's favor follows those who demonstrate steadfast love, faithfulness, humility, and genuine goodness. Using biblical examples such as Ruth, he shows that loyal love and integrity position believers to receive God's blessing, while pride, cynicism, and a mocking spirit repel God's favor. He concludes by challenging listeners to focus less on appearing successful and more on allowing the Holy Spirit to transform their character, trusting that when they pursue God's way, His favor and lasting success will naturally follow.

Using King Uzziah's life in 2 Chronicles 26, Pastor Chad taught that pride is the greatest threat to God's favor. While success and blessings can tempt us to rely on ourselves, humility keeps us dependent on God and open to His grace. True humility grows through worship as our focus shifts from ourselves to God's holiness, allowing His favor and presence to remain at work in our lives.

Pastor Chad challenged the church to see success not by attendance or programs, but by how effectively it spreads the Word of God. Drawing from the book of Acts and reflecting on a recent mission trip to Spain, he showed how God used the early church to overcome growth, persecution, and changing ministry needs so that the gospel continued to increase, multiply, spread throughout entire regions, and ultimately prevail. He called believers to embrace their identity as citizens of God's Kingdom, to pray fervently, disciple others, raise up new leaders, and view their own community as a mission field, urging the church to become a launching pad for sending people to proclaim the gospel until the Word of God transforms lives, cities, and nations.

Guest Speaker Tom Madden teaches that the greatest legacy a father can leave is not wealth, success, or achievement, but a life devoted to God that influences future generations. Drawing from the lives of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, he warns of the consequences of drifting from God while encouraging fathers to lead their families in faith, prioritize the house of God, and model the love of the Heavenly Father. He concludes by reminding listeners that God can use one committed person to spark revival and leave a lasting spiritual legacy. 

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not measured by outward success, but by God’s presence in our lives. Through Joseph’s story, he explains that God remains with us through seasons of hardship, uses trials to develop our character, faithfully delivers us from affliction, and ultimately works His purposes in ways we could never accomplish on our own. The message reminds believers that God’s favor is a shield around them and that every victory is ultimately the result of God’s hand at work, not their own strength.

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not something we earn, but something that flows from a relationship with Him. Using Noah’s story, he explains that God looks for people who trust and obey His Word rather than following their own desires, and that living by faith is what pleases God. He emphasizes that God’s favor is ultimately given not just for our benefit, but so we can fulfill His purposes and point others to the salvation found in Jesus.
