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...
Pastor Samson’s sermon from Ezra 3 reminded us that our future is secure when surrendered to God. He showed how the Israelites, under Zerubbabel, rebuilt the temple by trusting God beyond their past regrets, present obstacles, and uncertain tomorrow. In the same way, we are called to release our yesterday, overcome today’s challenges, and yield our future plans so God can fulfill His greater, eternal purposes in our lives.

Pastor Rodney’s sermon reminded us that while the human mind is powerful and complex, it is also a battlefield that must be surrendered to Christ. A mind under His lordship listens to God’s wisdom, fills itself with His truth, and directs its thoughts toward trust in the Lord rather than the noise of culture. When we let Jesus be Lord of our minds, our thinking, speaking, and living are transformed to reflect His wisdom and glory. Listen and be challenged. Support the show
Pastor Rodney’s message, Lord of My (Our) Worship, emphasized that worship is not just singing but a lifestyle of acknowledging, focusing on, loving, and adoring God’s presence. Drawing from Psalm 114, he showed that God’s presence delivers us from bondage, moves obstacles, provides for our needs, and demands reverence. Ultimately, true worship transforms us to look, sound, and act more like Jesus, leading us into freedom and deeper relationship with Him. Listen and be challenged. Support the...
Pastor Christian’s message, Lord of My (Our) Fears, reminds us that while fear is normal—whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, the unknown, or not being enough—it cannot be allowed to paralyze us. Using Jeremiah’s call and the boldness of the early disciples as examples, he showed that God delights in using ordinary, even unqualified people who choose to trust Him despite their fears. The call is to surrender our fears to the Lord, stop retreating to the “ships” we keep as escape routes, a...
Pastor Samson’s sermon “Lord of My House” from Nehemiah 13 highlighted how compromise in the home leads to compromise in God’s house. He showed how the Israelites neglected worship, tithes, Sabbath, and spiritual disciplines, which opened the door for the enemy and eroded their faith. Pastor Samson challenged us to put our own houses in order, fighting cultural influences with God’s Word, practicing covenant signs like worship and discipleship, and ensuring Jesus remains Lord of our homes so ...
Pastor Rodney’s message focused on the truth that Jesus is Lord over our time, talents, and treasure, and that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Money serves as a test of our allegiance, a tool for God’s purposes, and a testimony of our trust in Him—revealing where our priorities and faith truly lie. As stewards of what God has entrusted to us, we’re called to tithe, live with contentment, invest wisely in His kingdom, and surrender our finances to reflect His ownership over our l...
Pastor Rodney’s message emphasized that following Jesus isn’t about being a “fan” who enjoys His miracles and teachings but a true disciple who counts the cost and fully surrenders. From Luke 14, he highlighted that Jesus must be Lord over every part of our lives—faith, family, possessions, priorities, and desires—and that discipleship means carrying our cross daily, not living comfortably. The call is clear: if He’s not Lord of all, He’s not Lord at all, and real surrender opens the door to ...
In week one of our new series, "All of God", Pastor Rodney challenged us to let Jesus be Lord over every area of our lives and over the church, not just certain parts. He warned against the temptation of pride and superiority (believing God only works through “our” group) and urged unity in the Body of Christ while recognizing that the Kingdom of God is bigger than any one church. Ultimately, our task is to follow Jesus as Teacher, obey His voice, and fulfill the Great Commission by making di...
In our final Revival experience, Dr. Manny Arango’s sermon centered on the theme that God brings order out of chaos. Using Genesis 1 and the story of Noah, he illustrates how God doesn’t rest in disorder—He hovers over it, speaks order into it, and dwells only where there is structure. He reframed Noah’s ark not just as a boat, but as a temple—a sacred space with one door, symbolizing Christ, where God’s presence could dwell. His message calls us to stop building "boats" for survival and star...
Pastor Jabin Chavez delivered a powerful and faith-filled message centered around the idea of mid-year miracles. Drawing from Habakkuk 3:2 and Joshua 14:12, he challenged the church not to give up on 2025, encouraging everyone to believe that God can still do incredible things in the remaining months of the year. He laid out three commitments to help position ourselves for a move of God: speak words of faith, take steps of faith, and find friends of faith. Pastor Jabin emphasized the importan...
In her revival message, Destiny Deas challenged us to stop clinging to the "old impossible" and step into the "new impossible" God is doing. Drawing from Isaiah 43 and Acts 1–2, she emphasized that God’s past miracles are not the pinnacle—He’s always moving forward, inviting us to see, believe, and participate in the next move of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to become, the language to connect, and the perspective to perceive—equipping us to reach people, endure challenges, a...
On night one of Revival, Chet Pete delivered a message entitled, “I’m Going Under,” focused on the power and authority of Jesus. Preaching from Luke 7, he highlighted the faith of the centurion and challenged us to submit to God’s authority—not out of fear, but through trust and love. He encouraged us to go under God's control, cover, and construction, explaining that true transformation happens when we surrender every area of our lives to Him. When Jesus has authority over our lives, no...
Pastor Rodney’s sermon from Psalm 96 calls us to “sing a new song to the Lord”—not just with music, but with renewed hearts, lives of worship, and bold witness. He illustrates how true worship is more than church expression; it's a daily surrender of thoughts, time, talent, treasures, and awe for God. When we live in wonder of who Jesus is, we can’t help but worship passionately, testify boldly, and carry the joy of revival into our everyday lives. Listen and be challenged. Support the show
Pastor Samson’s message from Psalm 91 reminded us that while attacks—both seen and unseen—are inevitable, those who dwell in the presence of God can live with unshakable confidence, knowing He is their refuge and protector. Trusting in God doesn’t mean we avoid pain or hardship, but it means we are ultimately victorious through Christ, who has already conquered evil. This kind of trust is rooted not in outcomes, but in intimacy with God—and it invites us to respond by surrendering our burdens...
This week’s message explored how the Psalms speak to every season of life—from joy and clarity to pain and confusion. Nate Stukey challenged us to live with urgency and intentionality, warning against the drift of spiritual procrastination (Psalm 90). Sawyer Wilson called the Church to unity and mission, urging us to trade finger-pointing for gospel-pointing and to live “on earth as it is in heaven” with undivided hearts and a focus on Jesus (Psalm 86, Matthew 6, Revelation 7).
