Kingdom Come || The Talents

Some things aren’t meant to sit in the garage polished and unused—they’re meant to be taken out on the road. In this week’s message, Pastor TJ closes our summer series on the Kingdom with a challenging look at the parable of the talents, reminding us that our faith was never designed to be hidden away but invested, expanded, and lived out.
Together we learn:
The roots of the Kingdom are people – the church isn’t a building but living stones God places together to form His house.
The Kingdom comes with requirements – God calls us to invest our time, talent, and treasure in ways that build His Kingdom and serve others.
The Kingdom carries responsibility – one day we will give an account for what we’ve done with what He entrusted to us, and the measure will be how our lives have impacted others for Christ.
Through stories, Scripture, and a heartfelt call to action, this message challenges us to move beyond self-focus and step into the joy of saying yes to God’s plan.
Listen now and discover what happens when you place your whole life in His hands and let Him use you for His Kingdom.

Kingdom Come || The Banquet

Every invitation carries weight—but none more than the one God extends to each of us. This week, guest speaker Joe Bres shares his powerful testimony and unpacks Jesus’ parable of the great banquet, reminding us that the kingdom of God is a feast prepared for all who are willing to say yes.
In this message, we discover:
God’s provision – His invitation to the banquet is open to all, offering grace, forgiveness, and a place at His table.
Obstacles and excuses – Possessions, careers, or even family can become distractions that keep us from responding to God’s call.
The need for growth – Following Jesus requires tending the soil of our hearts, exercising spiritual discipline, and stepping into a life that continually reflects Him.
With humor, honesty, and biblical truth, Joe calls us to recognize the urgency of God’s invitation and to lay aside whatever keeps us from fully embracing it.
Listen now and take your seat at the table prepared for you.

One Day to Feed the World: Living Beyond Ourselves

What if one day of your life could change someone else’s every day? This week, we continue our partnership with Convoy of Hope’s One Day to Feed the World—a movement that reminds us the kingdom of God calls us not to store up blessings for ourselves, but to become rivers of generosity that flow outward to those in need.
In this episode, guest speaker Jack Risner shares powerful stories of compassion, challenges us to move from words to action, and reveals how God uses ordinary obedience to bring extraordinary impact. Together we explore:
Equal sacrifice, not equal giving – the invitation to give one day’s wage to feed, empower, and restore lives around the world.
The heart of the Shepherd – how God calls His people to walk with the broken, defend the vulnerable, and reflect His love in practical ways.
Doing the next kind thing – how generosity begins not with grand gestures, but with daily choices to listen and respond to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
From global impact to local stories of transformation, this message challenges us to see giving not as loss, but as participation in God’s redemptive work.
Listen now and discover how one day of generosity can ripple into a lifetime of hope for someone else.

Kingdom Come || The Growing Seed

Every life tells the story of seeds—some planted long ago, others sown in the quiet moments of today—that will shape the harvest of tomorrow. In this week’s message, Pastor Debbie invites us to reflect deeply on what’s been planted in us and what we are planting in the lives of others, reminding us that everything grows from a seed, whether healthy or harmful.
Drawing from the parable of the growing seed in Mark 4:26–29, she unpacks two essential truths:
What you scatter matters – Every word, action, and choice plants something in the soil of another’s life. The question is whether it aligns with God’s truth or allows weeds to take root.
Tend the soil of your heart – Healthy soil fosters healthy growth. Partnering with the Holy Spirit, we can identify and uproot seeds of untruth, replace them with God’s promises, and cultivate an environment where His Word thrives.
Through generational stories, practical illustrations, and personal testimony, this message challenges us to own our influence, guard our hearts, and sow intentionally into the people and generations around us.
Listen now and discover how the seeds you plant today can bear life-giving fruit for years to come.

Kingdom Come | Leavened

Some transformations happen quietly—rising slowly beneath the surface, but reshaping everything. In this week’s message, Pastor Jerry brings warmth, depth, and humor to a powerful parable of Jesus: the kingdom of heaven is like yeast that works its way through dough until every part is changed.
Unpacking this brief but rich illustration, the message reveals two central truths:
We must be leavened – God’s Spirit wants to permeate every part of our lives, not just the public or polished ones. But it requires surrender—real transformation means releasing control and allowing God to shape us completely.
We are called to be leaven – Once transformed, we are sent out to bring kingdom change into the world around us—not through force or fame, but through consistent, faithful presence, wherever we’ve been placed.
From ancient bread-making to spiritual growth, Pastor Jerry reminds us that lasting influence takes time—and that our willingness to yield to God’s timing and trust His work is what truly multiplies impact.
Listen now and discover how your ordinary, obedient life can carry extraordinary weight in God’s hands.

Kingdom Come || The Yeast

Sometimes the smallest things hold the greatest power. In this week’s message, Pastor TJ takes us into Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed to reveal how the kingdom of God begins in ways that seem insignificant but grows into something far greater than we could ever imagine.
Through this teaching, we explore the nature of the kingdom and discover:
Small steps matter – The kingdom often begins with a single decision of faith, a moment of trust that seems small but has eternal impact.
Expansion is built into the kingdom – Like a seed that becomes a tree, God’s kingdom is designed to grow in us and through us when we make room for Him.
Focus determines growth – Whatever we water in our lives will flourish; when we nurture faith instead of fear, the fruit of God’s kingdom takes root.
With stories from Scripture, practical moments from everyday life, and a challenge to shift our focus outward, this message calls us to take even the smallest step and watch God grow something extraordinary.
Listen now and learn how the smallest measure of faith can open the way for God’s expanding kingdom in your life.

Kingdom Come || Household Treasures

What if the treasures of your life aren’t just found in the shiny new revelations—but also in the truths you’ve carried for years? In this week’s message, Pastor Tyler walks us through a surprising and powerful one-verse parable from Jesus, revealing how the kingdom of God honors both the old and the new when surrendered fully to Him.
Anchored in Matthew 13:52, the message challenges us to examine the “storerooms” of our hearts—those places where we hold onto truth, memory, and transformation. Pastor Tyler explores three key ideas:
God’s truth is treasure: Both the ancient words of the Old Testament and the fresh grace of the gospel are priceless—and designed to be shared.
Discipleship brings transformation: We’re not just students of Scripture—we’re vessels for kingdom truth that is meant to overflow.
We are called to give it away: When we open our hearts and release what God has poured into us, the kingdom spreads beyond us, touching lives in practical and eternal ways.
Whether you're holding onto something God spoke long ago or stepping into something brand new, this message invites you to see it all as sacred—and to live a life that generously gives it back.
Listen now to discover how opening your storeroom might change someone else's story.

Kingdom Come || Pearl of Great Price

Sometimes the greatest treasures come with the highest cost—but they’re always worth it. In this week's episode, Pastor TJ invites us to examine what it means to truly live for the Kingdom of God, reminding us that surrender isn’t loss—it’s the beginning of everything meaningful.
Drawing from the parable of the pearl of great price, this message unpacks how the kingdom of heaven is not just a beautiful ideal, but a present reality that demands a response. Pastor TJ outlines three key themes:
Invitation: God has planted a desire for eternity in our hearts—and He draws us to discover the life only He can offer.
Surrender: The kingdom expands through us only when we yield everything—our plans, fears, ambitions, and comforts—to the King.
Satisfaction: In a world full of substitutes, Jesus alone satisfies the soul, and that satisfaction empowers us to live with clarity, purpose, and peace.
With honest reflections, humorous storytelling, and deeply personal moments, this message challenges each of us to consider what we’re really holding onto—and what it would mean to give God our full yes.
Listen now to explore what happens when you stop calling the shots and start following the One who gave it all for you.

Kingdom Come || A Hidden Treasure

Not all treasure glitters—and not everything that glitters is worth the search. This week, Pastor Leo challenges our understanding of what we treasure and why it matters.
Rooted in Matthew 13:44, the message explores how the kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure—worth everything once it's truly seen. Pastor Leo walks us through three powerful steps in the treasure-hunting process:
Identify: Recognizing what we call “treasure” and learning how to tell gold from fool’s gold through the lens of the Holy Spirit.
Prepare: Embracing the moments, seasons, and setbacks that God uses to form us and direct our pursuit—even when it feels like we're wandering.
Obtain: Discovering that the true reward isn’t the treasure we imagined, but the people, presence, and purpose we find in the process.
Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and moments of lighthearted joy, this message reminds us that sometimes the treasure we’ve been searching for has been sitting in plain sight all along.
Listen now and discover the richness of living a life led by God’s heart, where every step has value—and you are the treasure He’s been pursuing.

Revealed - the DNA of God || God is Faithful

What if the faithfulness of God isn’t just something He does—but who He is? In this week's message, Pastor Tyler takes us into the next installment of our "Revealed: The DNA of God" series with a deep, heartfelt look at the nature of God’s faithfulness—not as a choice, but as an unchanging reality rooted in His very being.
As we explore the character of God, we come to understand that His faithfulness cannot waver, cannot change, and does not fail. This episode unpacks three key expressions of God’s faithfulness:
Foundational: God lays spiritual groundwork in our lives that becomes the base for everything else.
Formational: His faithfulness shapes us over time through both mountain-top victories and valley moments.
Fruitful: Through Jesus, the ultimate expression of faithfulness, we’re not only transformed but called to reflect His unwavering love in our own lives.
You’ll hear relatable stories, practical insights, and a call to rethink how you view God’s consistency in the midst of your own imperfection.
Join us as we discover what it truly means to be held by a Father who is faithful through it all—and learn how to live out that same kind of steady love.
