So many people today feel scattered, isolated, and placeless. Nehemiah’s story reminds us that God rebuilds more than walls — He rebuilds people. This message is about what happens when grace meets us where we are, when different people come together in unity, and when the church becomes a true home for the broken and forgotten. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit anywhere, this is for you. You were made for belonging. You were made for community. And you were made to come home.

We don’t need to be perfect — we need to be whole. In Week 3 of our Shaped series, we explore what integrity really means. It’s not about pretending to have it all together, but about living an undivided life. Integrity is wholeness before God and others — walking in the light, confessing honestly, and refusing to live a double life. 📖 Scripture: 1 John 1:5–10, Romans 6:1–4, Colossians 3:1–17, James 5:16 💡 Big Idea: Integrity is choosing wholeness over perfection. If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to look polished, this message is for you. Discover the freedom of confession, the power of honesty, and the joy of living whole.

We’re all giving our time and attention to something — and whatever gets most of it, shapes us. The world tells us to chase power, fame, money, and pleasure. But those idols don’t deliver significance; they leave us distracted, restless, and empty. That’s why devotion matters. The early church devoted themselves to prayer, Scripture, teaching, and life together — and it changed everything. Their devotion formed them into a different kind of people in a noisy, divided world. In this message, we’ll explore how living devotedly: Anchors us in God’s presence when the world feels chaotic Keeps us from being malformed by the idols around us Shapes us through rhythms of Scripture, prayer, and stillness What if the very silence we avoid is the place where God wants to meet us? What if devotion isn’t about more rules, but about finding the life you were made for?

In a divided world, there’s almost no place where people who don’t look, think, or vote alike choose to come together as family. That’s what makes the weekly gathering so unique. It’s not about chasing power, money, fame, or pleasure. It’s about being shaped into something different. Every time we gather, we practice a way of life the world can’t manufacture—one that forms us through worship, Scripture, prayer, and community. This isn’t just a meeting. It’s a living model of hope, unity, and transformation. It’s a quiet rebellion against the idols that exhaust us, and a reminder that God is already at work—in us, among us, and through us. What if gathering isn’t just about showing up, but about being shaped into who you were created to be?

What if the key to growth wasn’t trying harder, but asking for help? In this Father’s Day message, Chase reminds us that we’re not alone in the fight. Whether you're a dad, a mom, or somewhere in between—this talk is for anyone who’s ever felt chipped away at by life or unsure if they still have something to offer. We look at the story of Michelangelo’s David, a forgotten block of marble that became a masterpiece, and we ask the same question Jesus did: What if all it takes is asking, seeking, and knocking? This isn’t just a sermon—it’s a call to draw your circle, stay in it, and believe that God is for you… and so are we. 📍 Filmed at Rise Church in Owasso, OK 🎧 Need encouragement midweek?

We all do it—quietly sizing people up, forming opinions, pulling back. But in Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus calls us to something deeper than judgment. He calls us to honest self-reflection, messy grace, and a kind of unity that can only come when we get close enough to really see one another. In this message, Chase shares how easy it is to build walls when we judge from a distance—and how radically different it looks when we choose to build bridges instead. If you've ever thought: “They should’ve just…” “I would never…” “How could they…?” …this one’s for you. The measure we use for others reveals the grace we’ve received ourselves. 🧠 Discernment ≠ Condemnation 💧 Grace doesn’t start with them. It starts with me. 🪵 Before we fix someone else’s speck, we’ve got to deal with our own log. At Rise, we believe in coming close, not casting stones. So if you’re tired of pretending, come as you are. There’s room at the table. 🕊️ Communion is where the walls come down—and grace spills over. #TakeTheLogOut #GraceFirst #RiseChurch #Matthew7 #BuildBridges #ComeAsYouAre #JesusWay #NoPerfectPeople

We all wrestle with worry—about our families, our future, our finances. And while the world tells us to “just stop it,” Jesus offers a better way. In this message, we explore what it means to live free from anxiety—not through willpower, but through trust in a God who sees, knows, and values us deeply. Drawing from Matthew 6, Philippians 4, and Luke 12, this sermon invites you to trade anxious striving for anchored peace—and discover just how much you're worth in the eyes of your Creator. #ChristianSermon #FaithOverFear #StopWorrying #JesusCares #BiblicalTeaching #Matthew6 #Philippians4 #Luke12 #AnxietyRelief #GodProvides #YouAreWorthy #GospelMessage #RiseChurch #SermonOnWorry #ChristianEncouragement #SpiritualGrowth #TrustGod #GodsPeace #IdentityInChrist #AbideInChrist

This is your reminder: You matter. What you do matters. And what you have to give is more than enough. In this Mother’s Day message, Chase shares a powerful word rooted in the stories of women in Scripture—Tabitha in Acts 9, the widows in 1 Kings 17 and 2 Kings 4, and the Shunammite woman. These weren’t women of status or spotlight—but women who showed up, poured out what they had, and saw God move in miraculous ways. Whether you're raising kids, showing up for your family, building a home for others, or just trying to get through the day—your oil matters. 💬 Big idea: God doesn’t ask you to do everything. He invites you to bring what you have—and keep pouring.

What if the most important part of your life is the part no one can see? In this powerful message, Seen and Unseen: Living Aligned with God, we explore how prayer is the pathway to bringing the hidden parts of our hearts into alignment with God's unseen Kingdom and perfect will. Drawing from Jesus' teaching in the Lord’s Prayer, we’ll learn how surrender — not striving — transforms us. When we align with God’s heart through prayer, what’s unseen begins to shape what is seen in our everyday lives. This message invites you to move beyond surface-level faith and embrace the deeper, unseen reality of God’s presence, power, and purpose. Together, we’ll celebrate how prayer opens the door for heaven to touch earth — in us, through us, and around us — as we mark life-change with baptism and communion. Whether you’re feeling spiritually stuck, hungry for more, or ready to live fully aligned with God's Kingdom, this message will help you reconnect with the life you were made for.

Two crowns. One choice. On Palm Sunday, the crowd chose Barabbas — but Jesus chose the cross. In this powerful message, Chase calls us to examine the same decision they faced: Which crown will we wear? The Crown of Chains built on envy, pride, and control — or the Crown of Thorns carried by the only King who can truly set us free? This isn’t just a message about history. It’s about your story. It’s about the everyday choices we make between image and authenticity, power and surrender, control and trust. Envy crowns the wrong king. Jesus invites us to choose a better way. Drawing from Zechariah 9, Matthew 27, and the unforgettable echoes of S.M. Lockridge and C.S. Lewis, this Palm Sunday sermon calls us to lay down what weighs us down — and take up the cross that lifts us into freedom. Jesus already chose you. Now it’s your turn: Choose your crown.

What if the reason we’re tired isn’t just because life is full—but because we’re constantly trying to prove ourselves? In this message, Chase shares how Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount speak directly to our craving for approval. Whether it shows up in overcommitting, people-pleasing, or just quietly feeling not enough, this part of Jesus’ teaching is an invitation to something better. It’s not about hiding who we are—it’s about being honest, living with purpose, and letting go of the pressure to impress. You’ll walk away with: A clearer picture of what Jesus meant by doing good in secret Why honesty leads to freedom, not shame How real community helps us stop performing and start belonging If you’ve ever felt like your worth depends on being liked, this is for you. —📍 Rise Church | Owasso, OK 🌐 Learn more: https://risetulsa.church #RiseChurch #SermonOnTheMount #ApprovalAddict #ChaseAtRise #OwassoOK #FaithThatFeelsReal
