If the process of establishing the systems of our life begins in self denial, where does self-denial begin? Does that mean we cannot have anything good for ourselves?

We consider Galatians 5 which points us to the idea of killing our flesh or our animal nature. Our anger, our bitterness, our worry are a few examples of that nature. But how do we begin the process of killing our nature that might be so deep seeded inside of us? We look at the idea of building our spirit man so that we might kill the flesh. If you're interested in hearing more of building the spirit man, please tune in!

What if the way you see yourself is holding you back from the life God desires for you?

In this episode, we wrestle with the question of identity and what it truly means to follow Jesus. So often, we define ourselves by our jobs, struggles, successes, or failures—but Jesus invites us to be known by Him instead. Through relatable stories and vivid illustrations, this message explores how we can stop wearing different “hats” throughout the week and begin conforming our lives to the image of Christ every day. As we confront the idols that shape us and submit them to the Lord, we’re invited into real transformation that leads to freedom, wholeness, and a better way to live.

What if spiritual growth wasn’t about trying harder—but about ordering your life differently?

God is a God of systems, and healthy systems always produce growth and fruit. In this message, we discover the starting point for a life that glorifies God: self-denial that leads to freedom, clarity, and purpose.

This sermon unpacks how loving God first—by intentionally ordering your time—and loving people outwardly transforms everyday life. From practical rhythms to a vision of revival in ordinary believers, this message offers a hopeful and challenging call to live with purpose beyond feelings and self-focus.

If you desire a faith that grows, reproduces, and impacts others, this message will help you take the first step.

As always, thank you guys for tuning in and if you have any questions or prayer request, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you and have a great week.

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this episode, we move beyond the idea of a one-time decision and explore Jesus’ call to “come after me.” Discipleship is about who you follow and what you’re known for. Through Scripture and real-life stories, we discover that being identified by Jesus means living a life of intentional service—serving others, even when it’s difficult, just as Jesus did.

Many people start New Year's Resolutions and commitments to follow the Lord, but as the year progresses, their resolution fades. In a recent study done by Forbes, 94% of people do not stick with their resolutions past a year.

How can an individual stay committed to their resolution, especially in terms of the Lord?

As we wrap up our series on getting unstuck, we consider any overall guidance to help us move forward. We can hear so many great sermons, but nothing changes. Where does real progress begin?

First, we look at the situation of the man at the pool and recognize that it is only because of Jesus that we can proceed forward. He is the beginning of the solution, the middle and the end of the solution. So we take a moment to recognize the value of Jesus in our lives.

Second, we consider how the man moves forward by seeing how he responds to the healing of Jesus. The man chooses to love others and share Jesus. If we will live a life for others, growth and change will be required.

As always, if you have any prayer requests or questions, we would love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks so much and have a great week!

As we continue our series on how we get unstuck, we consider the verse where it says Jesus "learned" about the man's condition.

What does it mean that the Jesus learned? Doesn't Jesus know all of it already?

We explore this and more as we consider how we can continue to incorporate Jesus into our lives to see deliverance and breakthrough in our lives. As always, we are so grateful you tune in.

As we continue the conversation about getting unstuck, we look at the response of the lame man to the question of Jesus.

When Jesus asks do you want to be made well, he replies by saying his problem. Many times, our situation gets worse because we are more focused on the problem and the giver of the solution to the problem. We engage this week with the idea of how we fix our focus on Jesus as we go through situations and hardships.

Many believers are stuck in their lives, situations and Christian walks.

How does a believer begin to live into what God has for them when they feel stuck? We look at the life of the man besides the pool of Bethesda who had been stuck for 38 years to consider how Jesus operates in those situations.

As always we appreciate you listening and are praying for you. Please let us know your prayer requests at [email protected]
