Catch the message "Faith Forward: Groups" by Pastor Scott Jones. Following Jesus is not something you do alone. We’ll lay the foundation for biblical community and invite people to “get out of a row and into a circle” where they can be in a group to care for one another, pray for one another, and encourage one another to be more like Jesus.
Catch the message "Faith Forward: Growth" by Pastor Scott Jones. The goal of our salvation is to become like Jesus. That’s spiritual growth. We’ll cover God’s vision for growth and encourage people to own their spiritual journey through the daily practice of spiritual disciplines.
Catch the message "Faith Forward: Grace" by Pastor Scott Jones. We want people to encounter the amazing grace of God through his son, Jesus. It’s a defining moment in a person’s faith journey. We’ll cover the love of God, the sin that separates us from him, and the grace that invites us into a relationship with him. We’ll invite people to say “YES” to Jesus and have spontaneous baptisms.
Catch the message "From Valley to Victory" by NextGen Pastor Luke Mihail. This message reminds us that God meets us in the dry places and brings life where we thought nothing could rise. It calls us to step into the new year with hope because the valley is not our final place.
Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Welcome Home" by Pastor Scott Jones. The birth of Jesus is the moment home came to us. The shepherds were invited in. The angels sang. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In that manger, God welcomed the world back into his presence. Through Jesus, we are no longer far off — we are family. The story that began with exile ends with invitation. And everyone who responds to the invitation will hear God say, “Welcome home.”
Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: The Road Home" by Pastor Scott Jones. God always makes a way home — even when the road is hard, unexpected, or uncertain. A census. A long road. A small town with no room to spare. The journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem looks ordinary, even inconvenient, but God was writing His redemption story through it all. The road home was not smooth, but it led to the Savior. In our own lives, the road home may be filled with detours and discomfort, yet God ...
Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Longing For Home" by Pastor Scott Jones. Deep within every heart is a longing to be home — not in a place, but in the presence of God. From the wilderness wanderings to Babylonian exile, Israel’s story is one of homesickness for God’s promise. They sang by the rivers of Babylon and wept for Zion. Yet through prophets and poets, God reminded them that the journey wasn’t over — that one day he would bring His people home again. This longing is the echo of...
Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Running From Home" by Pastor Scott Jones. The Garden of Eden was humanity’s first home — a place of peace, purpose, and presence. But when Adam and Eve chose disobedience, they traded home for exile. When sin entered the world, we didn’t just break a rule — we broke relationship. We walked away from the One who made us, and ever since, every human heart has been homesick for God. Yet even in judgment, God’s heart for His children never changed. He went...
Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Give It Away" by Pastor Scott Jones. Jesus said, “Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.” The hidden secret of continuing to grow is not to keep it to yourself. Someone said, “Make your mess your message.” It’s when we are generous in giving away what we have learned and gained is when we come full circle in the journey of transformation.
Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Stay Present' by Pastor Scott Jones. Transformation isn’t a series of linear steps. It’s the ongoing practice of being mindful of God and of the way we are living. We are called to a “with God” life where our constant awareness of his presence helps us keep short accounts and live honestly with him and others.
Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Be Vigilant' by Pastor Scott Jones. We never arrive. Sometimes spiritual growth feels like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. We have to stay vigilant in our pursuit of transformation, and that means you don’t take a day off. It is the “one day at a time” mindset that keeps us from living in guilt and frees us to stay focused on the change we want to see.
Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Make Amends' by Pastor Scott Jones. When it comes to making amends, first there is the willingness and then there is the follow-through. This action is a necessary step. We can’t always reconcile a relationship, but we can admit to others what we have done to hurt them and seek to make it right in whatever way God provides.
Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Write Your List" by Pastor Scott Jones. None of us sin in a vacuum. When we sin, we often sin against people. We’ve all hurt people in our past. We can ignore it, or we can record it. Naming people we have wounded and being willing to address that is what it means to be like Jesus.
Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Humble Yourself" by Pastor Scott Jones. Humility is the primary posture of one who wants transformation. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. In humility, we invite God to remove everything that we have used to prop up our lives and replace it with a renewed mind and character.
Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Prepare For Change" by Pastor Scott Jones. We have two choices when it comes to seeing God transform us. We can resist or we can yield. Our willingness to let God do his work is the key. He will not force us. Lasting change is a result of a partnership with God.
Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Come Clean" by Pastor Ben Stapley. It’s one thing to see things clearly. We can still keep it to ourselves. But true freedom comes from saying it out loud. This external confession is an act of trust in God and others and gives us the courage and power to move forward in our journey.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Face The Music by Pastor Scott Jones. It’s hard to look in the mirror and see what is wrong with us. Most of us prefer to live in denial. But when we invite God to shine the light of his truth into our lives, though painful, it will lead to clarity and freedom.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Turn It Over by Pastor Scott Jones. We all love control. We want to be God. But that job is taken. As long as we try to be in control of our lives, we will fail miserably. But when we surrender to him, our good God will lead and guide us toward health and change.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Reach Up by Pastor Mark Avery. We need something, Someone who is able to do what we cannot do. That Power, that Someone is Jesus. He alone can free us from sin and make us whole. Calling on him to save and deliver us is the only way to be changed.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Admit It by Pastor Scott Jones. We have a problem. It’s called sin. It’s the root of our brokenness. We have to come to a point where we admit that we can’t fix things on our own. We’ve tried and failed.
