In part four of our series, The Church: Family and Army, Pastor Garrett unpacks Acts 6:1–7 and shows us how the early church functioned with both deep care and clear purpose. As needs arose within the community, believers stepped up to serve, reminding us that the church is not just a place we attend, but a family we belong to and an army we are called to be part of. This message emphasizes that each of us has a role to play—we are called to take responsibility, serve others, and carry the mission forward together. When we embrace both the unity of family and the discipline of an army, the church grows stronger and continues to move in power and purpose. Join us as we learn what it looks like to live committed, connected, and ready to serve.

In this message, Pastor Garrett explores the foundation of our faith through 1 Corinthians 15:13–19 and Luke 24:1–6, reminding us that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is useless and our hope is limited to this life—but the empty tomb declares a greater truth. The angel’s question, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” points us to the reality that Jesus is alive, not defeated by death but victorious over it. This message challenges us to see that because Christ is risen, our faith has meaning, our hope is eternal, and our lives are no longer defined by despair but by the power of the resurrection.

In this message, It Is Finished, Pastor Garrett reflects on Mark 14:32–36 and John 19:28–30, tracing the powerful journey from Jesus’ agony in the garden to His final words on the cross. What began as a moment of deep surrender in Gethsemane was fulfilled in a declaration of victory—sin defeated, the price paid in full. This message invites us to see that “it is finished” is not a cry of defeat, but a proclamation of redemption, reminding us that because of Jesus’ sacrifice, the work needed for our salvation has already been completed

In part three of our series, The Church: Devotion Challenged, Pastor Garrett unpacks Acts 4:13–22 and what happens when true devotion is put to the test. As opposition rises, we see that the church is still God’s plan to bring heaven to earth, and our identity as followers of Jesus remains unshaken. This message reminds us that bold, passionate conviction flows from deep intimacy with Christ—and that when we stand firm and refuse to compromise, God Himself fights on our behalf. Join us as we learn what it looks like to live out an unshakable faith in the face of pressure.

In part two of our series, The Church: Devoted, Pastor Garrett dives into Acts 2:42–47, exploring what it truly means to live a life of devotion. The early church wasn’t built on convenience or comfort, but on a deep commitment—to God, to truth, to one another, and to prayer. This message challenges us to move beyond passive faith and into intentional community, where lives are shaped by Scripture, strengthened through fellowship, and sustained by prayer. Join us as we rediscover a church marked by genuine devotion and a faith that transforms both hearts and communities.

In this week’s kickoff to our new series, The Church, Pastor Garrett explores Acts 1:4-8 to remind us that the church was birthed out of a supernatural move of God, not a clever growth strategy. We are called to be more than just members; we are witnesses to a living, active story of redemption unfolding in the world today. Join us as we rediscover the church’s true identity as a preview of heaven—a sanctuary of stability, healing, and restoration for all.

Welcome to “Formed,” Part 9, in our spiritual formation series at The Seed Church led by Pastor Garrett. This week we explore formation through habits and practices—intentional rhythms that shape our hearts and lives to become more like Christ. Rooted in Romans 8:18–23 and Proverbs 4:23, we are reminded that while all creation groans in longing for redemption, God is actively at work forming us in hope and glory, calling us to guard our hearts as the wellspring of life. Practices like prayer, corporate worship, fasting, and service position our hearts before God so He can shape our desires, refine our character, and anchor us in eternal perspective. As we faithfully engage these habits, the Spirit transforms our daily lives, forming us more deeply into the likeness of Jesus even as we wait in hope for the fullness of His restoration.

Welcome to “Formed,” Part 8, in our spiritual formation series at The Seed Church led by Pastor Garrett. This week we explore formation through confession, rooted in 1 John 1:9 and James 5:16, discovering that confession is one of God’s pathway to formation. A key characteristic necessary for confession and true transformation is vulnerability—the courage to be fully honest before God and others. Yet much of humanity’s brokenness flows from our inability to be vulnerable, a pattern that began in Genesis 3:7–13 when shame led Adam and Eve to hide. As we step out of hiding and into the light, we find that God meets our honesty with grace, forming us more deeply into the likeness of Christ.

Welcome to “Formed,” Part 6, in our spiritual formation series at The Seed Church led by Pastor Garrett. In this episode, we focus on grace and the essential role it plays in our formation—reminding us that transformation does not begin with striving, performance, or self-effort, but with receiving the unearned favor of God. Grace is not only what saves us; it is what sustains and shapes us, freeing us from shame, pride, and the pressure to earn God’s approval. As we learn to live from acceptance rather than for acceptance, we discover that grace creates the safety and power for real change, forming us more fully into the likeness of Christ.

Join us for “Formed,” Part 5, a teaching in our spiritual formation series at The Seed Church led by Pastor Garrett. This message focuses on the role of the Holy Spirit in our formation, reminding us that it is the Spirit’s work in us that produces the fruit in our lives. Rather than simply resisting the works of the flesh, we are invited to live lives led and controlled by the Spirit. Spiritual practices like daily time with God, meditation, and worship are not ways to transform ourselves, but ways to position our hearts to receive the Holy Spirit’s transforming work within us.
