Most of us know we're supposed to love our neighbor. The harder question is: what happens when mercy becomes inconvenient? In week six of our James series, Pastor Jeremy unpacks a story from Jesus that challenges our assumptions, exposes our blind spots, and reminds us that compassion is more than a feeling—it's something we choose to do.

We often think blessing is something we wait on God to do. What if blessing is also connected to what God is waiting on us to do? In week five of our James series, Pastor Jeremy walks through a practical pattern from James that can change the way we hear, respond to, and experience God's work in our lives.

The quickest way to damage a relationship isn't always what you say—sometimes it's what you never stopped long enough to hear. In week four of our James series, Pastor Jeremy explores why listening is harder than it sounds and why our strongest reactions often reveal our deepest issues.

In week three of our James series, Pastor Jeremy dives into the invisible battle happening beneath the surface of our everyday lives. Why do we drift, struggle, rationalize, doubt, and feel stuck in the same cycles over and over again—and how do we actually stand firm when life and pressure hit hard? Because sometimes the greatest battle isn’t just what’s happening around you… it’s the lies trying to take root inside you.

In this message from the book of James, guest speaker Matt Battista reframes suffering through a picture most of us would never choose—but all of us eventually face. Because sometimes the seasons that feel the driest are the very places where God is growing the deepest roots.

If you’ve been walking through pressure, pain, or a season that just feels hard, this message will challenge the way you see it—and remind you that God may be producing something sweeter than you realize on the other side.

In week one of our new series through the book of James, Pastor Jeremy unpacks why this book hits so differently when life gets difficult. Because when pressure rises, faith stops being theoretical and starts becoming visible. This message challenges the drift so many of us settle into and asks a hard question: are we actually growing into maturity, or just getting better at looking spiritual?

In the conclusion of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy gets brutally honest about the small things that slowly take relationships out—and why most of them don’t look dangerous at first. Because it’s not usually one big moment… it’s what builds over time. If you’ve ever wondered how something good can quietly drift in the wrong direction, this message will help you recognize it—and show you what to do before it’s too late.

In week three of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy steps into the ring and walks through relationships round by round—starting with what’s really behind our communication and why conflict shows up in the first place. Because the goal isn’t to avoid the fight, it’s to understand what you’re actually fighting for. If your conversations keep turning into the same battles, this message gives you a better way to step in, stay in it, and come out stronger on the other side.

In week two of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy uses the picture of a cake to show what makes relationships truly sweet—and why some leave a bad taste. Because you can ice it, decorate it, and make it look perfect on the outside, but if the layers underneath aren’t right, it won’t hold. If something in your relationship feels off but you can’t quite name it, this message helps you cut into what’s really going on beneath the surface.

What’s the single most important thing you can do for your relationships? In week one of Marriage Mixtape, Pastor Jeremy challenges the way we usually answer that question and shifts the focus closer to home. Because the breakthrough you’re looking for in your relationships might not start with them—it might start with you.
