What happens when God starts stretching your life beyond its current capacity?

In this powerful message from 2 Kings 6:1–2, Pastor Jon Groves teaches that healthy things grow — and real spiritual growth always produces visible evidence. Through the story of Elisha and the sons of the prophets, this sermon challenges shallow Christianity, comfort-zone faith, and casual discipleship.If your life feels tight, pressured, uncomfortable, or stretched, it may not mean God has abandoned you. It may mean God is preparing you for the next level.

What comes out of your mouth is revealing more than you think…Your words are exposing your heart.

In this powerful message from Judges 12, Pastor Jon Groves breaks down the shocking story of “Shibboleth” and how one word revealed who people truly were.The Bible teaches that your speech is not random—it’s a reflection of your heart. From conflict and pride to humility and honor, the way you talk reveals where you’re really from.This sermon will challenge you to examine your words, your tone, and your response under pressure—and ask a deeper question:👉 Do you sound like the world… or like Jesus?

In this message, you’ll learn:

Why your words reveal your spiritual condition

How pride shows up in your speech

The danger of assumptions and dishonor

What a true believer sounds like

Why your “accent” gives away your allegiance

Every person in Luke 23 saw the same Jesus…but not everyone reached the same verdict.

There comes a moment when everything comes down to a decision.Not a casual decision, but one that shapes everything that comes after.In this powerful, courtroom-style message by Pastor Jon Groves from Luke 22–23, we walk through the final hours of Jesus’ life and examine how different people responded when the evidence was right in front of them.

✔️ Some rejected Him

✔️ Some compromised

✔️ Some mocked

✔️ Some believedAnd now the question is no longer what they decided…

👉 It’s what you will decide.

This message exposes a hard truth:Clear evidence does not guarantee a right verdict.You’ll discover:Why people reject truth even when it’s obviousThe danger of knowing truth but not standing on itHow culture pressures compromise (like Pilate)The deeper meaning behind Barabbas and the GospelWhy you are not Jesus in the story… you are Barabbas

🔥 “Truth that is only believed privately but never stood on publicly is truth you’ve already begun to surrender.”

This sermon will challenge you, confront you, and call you to make a decision about Jesus that you cannot avoid.

But what if the real question isn’t “Left or right?”—it’s “Is God first?” And if He is, should His Word shape the way we vote?In this Romans 13 sermon from our First Things First series, Pastor Jon Groves walks verse-by-verse through what Scripture teaches about governing authority, moral responsibility, and how Christians should steward influence without replacing the gospel with politics. This is a biblical view of government and case for not only how Christians should vote, but THAT Christians SHOULD vote.You’ll hear a clear biblical foundation for:Why all authority ultimately comes from GodWhy Christians must avoid idolatry of government and withdrawal from responsibilityWhy some issues aren’t “political,” they’re biblicalHow to vote with discernment—not vibes, tribes, or party loyaltyWhy silence in moral moments isn’t neutralityHow to keep Jesus as King while still being salt and light in your nation📖 Key Scriptures covered:Romans 13:1–7; Proverbs 14:34; Micah 6:8; Philippians 3:20; Psalm 146:3; Proverbs 24:11–12🙏 Need prayer or want to take a step of faith?
