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...
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...
