Pastor Rodney unpacked Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John 17, showing that when Jesus prays, He reveals what matters most: the Father’s glory displayed through believers united in salvation (knowing God), sanctification (being made like Jesus), and mission (reaching those yet to believe). Following Jesus means praying like Him—growing in real relationship with God through grace, the Word, the Spirit, and community, while intentionally interceding by name for others to come to know Christ. Li...
In Part 1 of Pastor Rodney's weekend message, he taught that following Jesus means learning to pray like Jesus, drawing from John 13–17 where Jesus’ final teaching and longest prayer reveal what mattered most to Him: unity, the Holy Spirit, and producing much fruit. He emphasized that unity is essential to revealing Jesus to the world, the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live and witness beyond their own strength, and lasting fruit comes not from striving but from abiding in Christ so God c...
Pastor Samson taught that following Jesus means sitting at His feet—like Mary of Bethany—where we recognize His worth, align with His purpose, and receive true spiritual nourishment. In a spiritually “hangry” and easily offended world, sitting at Jesus’ feet forms a consecrated posture that leads to worship, contentment, and a deeper commitment to prayer, Scripture, and fasting.

Pastor Rodney taught that following Jesus means trusting Him fully—not leaning on our own understanding, but surrendering our hearts, humbling our pride, and honoring God with every part of our lives, as Proverbs 3 calls us to do. Because Jesus is completely trustworthy, true trust shows up not just in words, but in how we submit our hearts, receive correction, and put God first with our resources and priorities.

Pastor Rodney taught that true joy isn’t accidental—it comes from choosing the path of Jesus, surrounding yourself with people who are pursuing Him, and consistently feeding your soul with God’s Word. Drawing from Psalm 1, he reminded us that while sin offers temporary pleasure, following Jesus leads to a rooted, fruitful, and enduring joy that lasts forever. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Clint taught from the book of James, emphasizing that real, mature faith isn’t just about what we believe but how we live—by asking God for wisdom, doing the Word, and drawing near to Him. He reminded us that God uses our inadequacies to build something greater when we respond with obedience, humility, and a desire to remove anything that pulls us away from His presence.

In his Candlelight message, Pastor Rodney used the story of Jesus being “lost” in Luke 2 to show how easy it is to assume Jesus is with us without actively seeking His presence. He reminded us that Jesus was never lost—we are the ones who walk away—and that He is always found where God’s Word is taught, His will is honored, and His presence is prioritized.

Pastor Samson preached from Psalm 145, emphasizing that God is so great it naturally overflows into praise, so good that He has clearly revealed Himself through Scripture, and so near that we can confidently call out to Him in prayer. Listen and be challenged. Support the show
Pastor Rodney taught from Paul’s final words to Timothy, calling the church to faithful endurance—a life anchored in God’s Word, willing to endure hardship, and committed to finishing the race with faith. He reminded us that following Jesus isn’t glamorous, culture will often reject sound teaching, and hard times are inevitable, but Scripture equips and sustains us to remain courageous, focused, and faithful. Like a soldier, athlete, and farmer, believers are called to live disciplined, obedi...
Pastor Rodney taught that a healthy church lays down a clear vision to make disciples, rooted in prayer, emotional maturity, training in godliness, and generous stewardship. Using 1 Timothy as a leadership framework, he emphasized that prayer should be prioritized, leaders must pursue emotional health, believers must train spiritually, and generosity reveals our trust in God. Ultimately, a healthy church is one in which people grow to be more like Jesus, steward their resources with open hand...
Pastor Matt Nelson teaches that in a culturally divided world, the Church must become a radically united people by keeping Jesus—not opinions, preferences, or politics—at the center. Drawing from Ephesians 4, he emphasizes that diversity is not a threat but a strength when submitted to Christ. He warns that unity will never happen accidentally. We must fight for it, cling tightly to the essentials of our faith, and rely on the Holy Spirit to make us one. Listen and be challenged. Suppor...
Pastor Stephen Kuert teaches from Colossians 1 that the true gospel is powerfully advancing all over the world—changing lives in places like Burundi and Congo just as much as in Oklahoma. He warns against mixing Jesus with cultural idols like materialism, individualism, and nationalism, calling believers back to the clear, true gospel that saves by grace through faith alone.

Pastor Rodney taught from Psalm 126, reminding us that building God’s Church starts with remembering His faithfulness and celebrating all He has already done so our faith rises for what He will do next. He emphasized that we must rely on God’s power, not our own, because only God's Spirit can bring true restoration, renewal, and life to dry places. Finally, he urged us to remain faithful in sowing and to trust that every prayer, act of service, and sacrifice planted in tears will one day retu...
This tag-team message focused on Building His Church through the Fruit of the Spirit. Pastor Rodney taught that love and joy are the foundation of a healthy church, shaping character more than talent or strategy. Pastor Christian reminded believers to carry peace and patience as the posture of a Spirit-led church. Pastor Heady emphasized kindness and goodness as the culture that makes the church a safe and irresistible place. Pastor Samson closed by highlighting faithfulness, gentleness, and ...
Pastor Rodney’s message, Lord of My (Our) Identity, centered on how faith in Jesus redefines who we are. Through Christ, we are adopted into God’s family—not by works, but by faith—becoming new creations clothed in His righteousness. Our identity is no longer shaped by our past, our labels, or what divides us, but by Christ Himself, who unites us as one body and calls us heirs of His eternal promise. Listen and be challenged.

In his sermon "Lord of My (Our) Friendships," Pastor Rodney emphasized that God designed us for relationship—first with Him, then with others. He explained that the enemy seeks to divide what God unites, but followers of Jesus are called to live counter-culturally by pursuing friendships that reflect God’s truth, grace, and purpose. True friendship begins with intimacy with God and extends outward as we initiate, cultivate, heal, or sometimes sever relationships so that every connection draws...
In her message “Lord of Our Expectations”, Kayla Anderson explores how our desire for control and specific outcomes often limits our faith. Through the stories of Jairus and the bleeding woman, she shows that Jesus rarely meets expectations the way we plan but He always offers something greater: His presence, compassion, and power. Kayla encourages believers to trust who Jesus is, not just what He can do, choosing to stay in His presence, Word, people, and surrender even when prayers seem una...
Pastor Rodney’s message "Lord of My Life" shows us that Jesus is not just someone to admire but someone to follow fully and surrender to. Drawing from Mark 3, he explains that while many came to Jesus for what He could do, few chose true discipleship—believing in Him, belonging to Him, behaving like Him, and preaching about Him. True discipleship begins with being with Jesus before doing for Him, allowing His power to transform us and flow through us to others. Following Jesus means living in...
In Part Two of Jesus in Culture Weekend, Dallas Jenkins shared how The Chosen was born from his desire to close the “stained-glass” gap between people and Jesus—and from a season of personal failure that reoriented him to the “five loaves and two fish” posture of obedience, which God multiplied into an unlikely, record-setting launch. He explained the show’s creative heartbeat: portray Jesus as fully God and fully human, let viewers see Him through the eyes of those who met Him, and use that ...
In part one of our Jesus in Culture Weekend, Mart Green shared how a powerful scene from The Chosen stirred his heart and led him to partner with Dallas and Amanda Jenkins to expand the show’s reach. Through his nonprofit Come and See, he’s working to translate The Chosen into 600 languages and keep it free worldwide, allowing hundreds of millions to encounter Jesus in their own heart language. He highlighted the show’s global impact—letters of lives transformed, stories from ministries aroun...
