In this Christmas message from John 8:12, we explore why Jesus didn’t come merely to be seen—He came to be followed. Light isn’t seasonal ambiance; it’s God’s life, truth, and holiness breaking into our darkness. You’ll hear how Christ’s light reveals what we couldn’t see, confronts the darkness we can’t defeat, and leads step by step into real life. If you’ve felt stuck in guilt, fear, or confusion, this episode offers a simple path forward: not by out-muscling darkness, but by staying close to Jesus.

The Birth of the King (Luke 2:1–20). Rome was loud and certain, but God arrived quiet and low. From Caesar’s census to a Bethlehem manger, we see power in disguise, heaven’s “fear not,” and the shepherds’ simple response—go, see, tell, worship. Bottom line: the true King came low—so kneel and make room.

In this episode we begin our series, The Road to Jesus, by stepping back before Bethlehem and into the deeper story that makes Christmas make sense. Long before a manger, God spoke a promise—first in a garden shattered by sin, then through a prophet in a nation paralyzed by fear.

Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 7:14 reveal something essential:
Jesus didn’t come because the world was beautiful. He came because it was broken.

We explore why the Savior had to come, why humanity could never rescue itself, and how every promise of God points to the coming Messiah. This message sets the foundation for the series, showing the ache before the answer and the darkness before the light.

If you’ve ever wondered why the birth of Jesus matters so deeply—or why the story begins long before Bethlehem—this episode will anchor your heart in the hope only Christ can bring.

In this Thanksgiving message, Chase walks us down two very different roads that lead to the same destination: a heart awakened to gratitude.
The journey begins with a gripping true story—three men lost in the Gulf of Mexico for eight days—and the surprising shift that happened in their prayers when rescue still seemed impossible. From there, we explore why gratitude isn’t really about circumstances at all, but about clarity: recognizing the Source behind every breath.

Then we step into the book of Daniel, where Daniel bows in gratitude long before the blessing becomes public, while Nebuchadnezzar learns the hard way that gratitude often rises only after the crown falls. Humility and breaking, quiet praise and loud pride—two very different experiences revealing one unchanging truth:

Everything good begins with God.

As we enter Thanksgiving week, this message invites you to look beyond the table in front of you and see the Giver behind it all. Whether your year has felt like Daniel’s steady trust or Nebuchadnezzar’s unraveling, the road to gratitude is open… and it leads you home.

In this episode, we walk through 1 John 3:16–18 and explore what real love looks like. Not the watered-down version our culture often offers, but the kind of love Jesus defines through the cross—holy, sacrificial, and deeply practical.

This message unpacks four movements in the text:

• The Definition of Love — Jesus shows us love by laying down His life.
• The Demand of Love — Love always costs something.
• The Test of Love — How we respond when we see need reveals what’s in our hearts.
• The Practice of Love — Not love in words alone, but love in “deed and truth.”

We also look at the difference between sentimental love and saving love, why the cross was absolutely necessary, and how believers are called to reflect Christ’s sacrifice in everyday relationships.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to actually live the love of Jesus in a noisy, self-centered world, this passage gives us the clarity we need and the challenge we need.

Scripture: 1 John 3:16–18
Title: Love in Action

In this message from our Faith in Action series, we walk through Ephesians 6:10–18 and rediscover a surprising truth: sometimes the most courageous act of faith isn’t moving forward — it’s refusing to be moved. Paul doesn’t call believers to sprint, strive, or outmuscle the enemy. He calls us to stand: to hold the ground Jesus has already won for us.

We explore what standing looks like in real life, why strength is something we receive rather than perform, and how the armor of God isn’t a list of spiritual accessories but the gospel itself applied to our everyday battles. Each piece — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word — anchors us when pressure hits. And woven through it all is prayer, the rhythm that keeps us steady, alert, and connected.

If you’ve ever felt tired, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this message is a reminder that God doesn’t ask you to win the war in your own power. He asks you to plant your feet, lift your eyes, and stand firm in His.

Faith moves… but sometimes faith wins by standing.

Walking in the Spirit isn’t about chasing emotional highs or trying harder to be good. It’s about learning to live each day step-by-step with God’s Spirit shaping our hearts, our desires, and our character. In Galatians 5:16–26, Paul shows the tension between the flesh and the Spirit—not to discourage us, but to remind us that struggle is part of spiritual growth.

In this message, we explore why the Spirit leads to freedom, how the fruit of the Spirit grows in a surrendered life, and what it means to crucify the old self and keep in step with the Spirit. This is a call to real transformation: not behavior modification, but Spirit-powered living that makes us look more like Jesus.

The Race Isn’t About Speed; It’s About Sight — From Hebrews 12:1–3, this message reframes endurance: not running faster, but seeing clearer. Learn to drop the weights and sins that cling, listen to the witnesses who’ve finished, and fix your eyes on Jesus—the pioneer and perfecter—who endured for joy. Practical steps help you refocus your attention so your faith outlasts any terrain.
