In John 11, Jesus turned Lazarus’ death into a moment that revealed God’s glory. Crowds were divided—some grieving, some doubting, some criticizing—but Jesus declared, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Cultural moments, like the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, also draw crowds and divide opinions. But they can become revival moments when God’s people respond by speaking the gospel not with outrage or silence, but with unity and love.

What does it mean to live a life of honor? Scripture shows us that honoring God and people is central to following Christ. This message unpacks a biblical framework of honor and how it impacts our ability to work together, across generational lines, to advance the kingdom of God.

We are always one generation away from either revival or spiritual drift. In John 4, Jesus bridges centuries of division with the Samaritan woman, showing us how to live out and pass on a real, undistorted faith.

This message explores Paul’s words in Galatians 6, where serving others is shown as the pathway from fragile faith to lasting maturity. It reflects on the struggles that often pull people away from serving and how humility, perseverance, and shared commitment strengthen both families and the church. At the heart of it is the reminder that the gospel is most alive when God’s people carry one another’s burdens in love.

In Acts 2 and Acts 5, the early church met both in large public gatherings and in small personal spaces—worshipping boldly, growing deeply, and proclaiming Jesus everywhere. In this message, we explore why we need both the “Big Room” and the “Small Room” for a vibrant, Spirit-filled faith, and how God uses these spaces to shape us and send us on mission.

What happens when we start celebrating ministry wins more than the One who gave them? In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two disciples who return amazed by the power they witnessed—but Jesus redirects their joy. This message explores how our identity in Christ should outweigh our accomplishments for Him. Discover how to find lasting joy not in what you do, but in being known and loved by God.

Rejection doesn’t have to push us into fear or judgment—it can lead us to mercy. In this message from Luke 10 and Acts 3–4, we see how Peter and John responded to rejection with boldness, love, and obedience. True harvest workers notice the overlooked, offer what only Jesus can, and trust God with the outcome.

Learn how to slow down, love courageously, and handle rejection with maturity as you follow Jesus into the mess of real life.

What holds many Christians back from sharing the gospel with friends and family? Often, it’s a sense of inadequacy or fear. In this opening message for Waymaker.Church’s 2025 Year of Harvest, we explore Luke 9–10, where Jesus sends out seventy-two ordinary followers—not just the twelve—to prepare the way for His arrival.

This message reminds us that we are not called to save people, but to prepare the way for Jesus to meet them. Through prayer, compassion, and obedience, every believer is invited into the mission of the harvest. The opportunities are all around us—but the workers are few. Jesus is clear: the mission won’t be easy—but it is worth the risk. You are sent and you are equipped.

What if God wants to move in the next generation now, not later? In this message from Joel 2 and Acts 2, we explore how the Holy Spirit is already being poured out on kids, and students. The world isn’t waiting to shape them—so the Church can’t wait either. Discover how to believe it, make space for it, and live it out as we empower Spirit-led young people to follow Jesus today.

What does it really mean to live a holy life? Is it more about avoiding sin—or about actively doing good? In this message from Titus 2 and 3, we explore how grace doesn’t just save us from something, but calls us toward something greater. Holiness is not about withdrawal or judgment, but about love in action. When grace reshapes our desires, we don’t just say “no” to sin—we say “yes” to generosity, hospitality, and Spirit-led living. Discover how holiness becomes visible, compelling, and credible when we live engaged, purposeful lives that reflect God’s heart.
