In Genesis 46, God reveals His perfect plan to establish His people by bringing them down to Egypt. God's perfect plan often runs counter to human reasoning. Pastor Kevin reminds us that we can find hope in any circumstance that feels like an "Egypt," because God strengthens us in our weakness. We are not formed by the plans we fully understand, but by His nearness in every circumstance. Through every trial, He gives us faith to keep walking and is continually shaping us into His image.
"Direction for the Journey," with Mike Oaks, explores navigating life's challenges and transitions through faith, community, and obedience to God. It highlights how acting on faith, leaning on others, and staying rooted in our identity in Christ can strengthen us during times of doubt, unlock divine provision, and empower us to fulfill our purpose.
At this month's Allin we explore Exodus 14 and the powerful moment where God places the Israelites exactly where they need to be for deliverance, even when fear makes it hard to see. Though they were surrounded and uncertain, God was not absent. He had them in perfect position. This message reminds us that God often works in ways that challenge our perspective, inviting us to trust His mighty power beyond our limitations. More than an individual call, this is a collective one, an invitation to move from fear to faith, and to step deeper together into what God is doing.
In this Leadership Lesson, we sit down with Tameeka for an honest and powerful conversation uncovering The Heart of Worship. Through a panel-style discussion, Tameeka shares her personal journey and the daily posture of worship that has shaped both her life and calling. This conversation goes beyond music and moments, it's about surrender, obedience, and leading from a place of authenticity. Whether you're serving, leading, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to rediscover what true worship looks like from the inside out.
This week, Brittany teaches on "The Honest Truth" — how cultural politeness and religious language often keep us from being real with God in prayer. Through stories, Scripture, and raw honesty, she shows how honest prayer is where God meets us with truth, freedom, peace, healing, and surrender. If you've ever felt like your prayers sound right but don't feel real, this message is for you.
In this message, Pastor Kevin Myers explores Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened, asking us to honestly consider where our souls are tired. Through Matthew 11 and 12, he reveals how religious systems and human striving can leave us exhausted instead of free. He points us back to Jesus as the only true way to know God. The message calls us to lay down our old ways and come to Christ for real and lasting rest.
In today's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Kevin walks through Matthew 5:43–48 and Jesus' challenging call to love our enemies. We explore how cultural interpretations can quietly reshape our faith and how Jesus brings clarity, not minimal obedience but sacrificial love. Through Scripture, honest reflection, and vivid imagery, this message invites us to examine our hearts, pray for those we resist, and learn what it truly means to live as children of our Father. A timely conversation for navigating faith, relationships, and discipleship in today's world.
In this special Sunday encouragement, Pastor Kevin walks us through Genesis 33:18–20 and the story of Jacob, a life marked by fear, striving, and wrestling with God, yet ultimately transformed by His faithfulness. What begins as a cyclical pattern of fear becomes a testimony of grace when Jacob stops running, faces what he's afraid of, and builds an altar of remembrance.
In this message, Pastor Kevin challenges us to see reality through Jesus' eyes, not the world's. Using Luke 18, he shows how the kingdom belongs to those who come with humility, dependence, and trust like a child. When we let go of pride, control, and false realities, God defines our identity and opens the door to heaven's reality.
In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey dives into Proverbs 30 to reveal how God's wisdom transforms the way we see strength, stability, and success. Using the example of the "rock badger," he shows that where we choose to dwell—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—shapes our lives and decisions. Pastor Josh challenges us to stop relying on worldly measures like visibility, performance, and comparison, and instead to rest in Christ, the true Rock, where insight, perspective, and life-transforming wisdom are found.
Moments in God's presence don't just comfort us- they give us momentum for the seasons ahead. When we intentionally steward time with Him, His presence begins to guide us, shape us, and propel us forward. What if the Holy Spirit is using your current test as a place of promotion? In His presence, we learn to discern His leading, gain clarity for what's next, and walk with confidence into what He's preparing.    
Pastor Mark Kelsey reminds us in this Leadership Lessons episode what reconciliation, unity, and authentic discipleship within the Church truly look like. Walking through Ephesians, he presents God's blueprint for the Body of Christ, calling leaders to model reconciliation through the cross, pursue unity with intentionality, and resist inspiration without transformation. This conversation challenges the Church to develop people deeply, submitting to Christ as the Head and becoming a reconciled, unified, and fully equipped Body reflecting God's presence and power on the earth.
Matthew 6:9-13. Prayer isn't a lucky poem or a magic formula. It's a pattern, a rhythm, a posture. The Lord's Prayer doesn't twist God's arm, it aligns our soul. In a world constantly knocking us out of alignment, Jesus gives us a way to stand humbly before God, ready to be lifted by His mighty hand. A message from our friend, Pastor Dan Lian.
Pastor James Powell brings a powerful message from John 10 and Psalm 23, reminding us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads, provides, and corrects out of love—not based on our performance, but on what He has done. This message reframes conviction as kindness, inviting us into deeper trust, humility, and gratitude as we learn to follow the Shepherd's voice and rest in His unchanging care.
Pastor James Powell from The House Vegas reminds us of Paul's instruction in Philippians 3:13. It comes from a place of lived experience, not theory. Writing from prison, Paul reflects on a life marked by both great success and deep failure. Rather than allowing either to define him, he makes a conscious decision to forget what is behind him so he can faithfully pursue what God has ahead. Selective amnesia is the discipline of releasing what no longer has authority so we can walk fully in God's purpose.
Luke 2:8–16. In the Christmas story, God announces the arrival of Jesus not to the elite, but to shepherds, outsiders who lived nearby, but not in. Through them, we see the heart of God: good news for all people, especially those who feel forgotten, labeled, or pushed to the margins.  This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski shows us how Jesus enters the darkness, meets us on the outside, and invites us in. When we behold Christ, the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd, our true identity is restored, our labels are broken, and our souls discover their worth in Him.
Luke 2:8–20. Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us that joy is not superficial or fleeting, it's rooted in grace. As we close out 2025, this message points us to the unlikely joy announced to shepherds: good news for all people. In a city and a world searching for fulfillment, Jesus comes as Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering deep, lasting joy that isn't shaped by circumstances. 
In todays Leadership Lesson, Mike Oaks teaches about the furnished room of the Shunammite woman becomes a picture of the heart. The bed calls us to rest and healing, the chair establishes God's authority, the table invites fellowship and formation, the lamp brings light and discernment, and the walls remind us this dwelling is permanent, not seasonal. As we intentionally furnish the heart, we become a place where God rests, leads, and works through us.
Matthew 1:23, John 1:14, Genesis 1:1–2. This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski reveals the everlasting with‑ness of a God who moves first. From creation to Christ to this very moment, God's defining nature is nearness. When shame isolates, suffering overwhelms, or faith feels fragile, Immanuel steps toward us. God is not distant, He is with you, present in every season, bearing every pain, and restoring what was broken.
Matthew 1:18–25.  This Sunday, Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us the war over sin is already won. When fear rises and battles feel overwhelming, Jesus enters as Immanuel, God with us. Now, the battle is for our faith. In every struggle, God is not distant. He's present, powerful, and fighting for you.
