- 769Don't Be Surprised By The Process | Kevin MyersIn this message, we look at 2 Corinthians 3:16–18 and the process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ. In a culture that values quick results and visible success, following Jesus often feels slower and more difficult than we expect. Through Paul's words, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is actively at work in us, shaping our lives from one degree of glory to another. Even in seasons of pressure, anxiety, weakness, or grief, God meets us in the process and uses those moments to form us more deeply into the image of Christ.
- 770Ceaseless: God's Will for a Prayerful Relationship | Mike OaksIn this message, Pastor Mike Oaks teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 on what it means to live a life of ceaseless prayer. Through Paul's encouragement to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances, we are invited into a deeper relationship with God that extends beyond occasional prayer into everyday life. Pastor Mike explores how starting with joy, understanding God as our Father, and learning to walk with Him throughout the day transforms prayer from a routine into an ongoing conversation. As we grow in this relationship, we discover that God's will is not simply that we pray more, but that we live in constant communion with Him.
- 771The Path of Perfect Love | Kathryn MyersThis week's message, The Path of Perfect Love, walks through 1 John 4:14–19 and the tension we feel when we fall short and begin to question where we stand with God. When you begin to understand the deep, otherworldly love of God, it changes the way you live. Love starts to lead instead of fear, and even in the moments you fall short, there's no hiding or striving, just a return. Pastor Kathryn Myers reminds us that repentance becomes something you rejoice in, not because you got it right, but because His love keeps drawing you back into communion with Him, restoring you, transforming you, and anchoring you in the truth that you are fully known and still fully loved.
- 772Out of The Wilderness | Mike OaksThis week, Pastor Mike Oaks shares a message titled Out of the Wilderness, walking through Deuteronomy 6 and the journey of Israel into the promise. As we follow their story, we're invited to reflect on our own, learning the danger of forgetting God in seasons of comfort, what it means to live from a new identity as sons and daughters, and how true victory comes not from our strength but from trusting that the battle belongs to Him.
- 773The King Who Wept | Josh KelseyOn Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated while Jesus wept. In this message, we walk through Luke 19:28–44 and the tension of a King who didn't come to meet expectations, but to exceed them. As Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks why Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we're invited to examine our own hearts, our expectations, and discover a love that leads not to power, but to the cross.
- 774Turn Twice: Three Gardens | Josh KelseyThis Easter Sunday, Pastor Josh walks us through three gardens, Eden, Gethsemane, and the empty tomb, revealing what was lost, what Jesus surrendered, and what has now been restored. In a garden filled with grief, Mary stood face to face with Jesus and didn't recognize Him until He spoke her name, reminding us that this is personal. This message is an invitation to turn twice, not just to see Jesus, but to recognize Him when He calls you.
- 775An Invitation to Trust | Kevin MyersIn this message, Pastor Kevin invites us to step back and ask a deeper question: do we actually trust Jesus, or have we just learned to chase moments? Walking through the signs in the Gospel of John, he shows that the works of God were never meant to be the destination, they were always pointing to a life of real trust. From sensationalism to apathy, we unpack the barriers that keep us stuck, and the way Jesus continually calls us back, whether in personal obedience, desperation, need, or uncertainty. This is an invitation to move beyond hype or numbness and into a steady, daily trust that restores and reshapes every part of our lives.
- 776How To Remain | Brittany SmigielskiIn this message, we look at the story of Thomas and how Jesus meets us in our doubt, not with distance, but with invitation. Through honesty, community, and abiding in Christ, we learn what it actually means to remain when faith feels uncertain. This is a call to stay, to lean in, and to discover that Jesus is faithful to meet us there.
- 777What is Faith | Olusegun OlujideWhat is faith, really? In this message, Pastor Olu moves beyond surface-level definitions to show how Scripture defines faith as something substantial, secure, and God-given. This teaching unpacks how faith shapes the way we walk, live, worship, and relate to God in every area of life.
- 778Responsible From Generation to Generation | Kevin Myers | FOUNTWhat does it actually mean to take responsibility in a way that leads to freedom? In this message, Pastor Kevin unpacks how God defines responsibility through His character and how, through Jesus, we're invited into a life of real change. As we take ownership of what's in front of us, God meets us there, not with condemnation, but with transformation, shaping not just our lives, but what flows through them for generations to come.
- 779You Belong Here | Amy Perez | FOUNTIn this message, Pastor Amy walks through a familiar tension we all feel. The question of where we truly belong, and reframes it through the lens of Romans 8. Rather than seeing belonging as something we earn or grow into, she unpacks the reality of adoption, showing that in Christ we are already brought fully into the family of God. This shift doesn't just change how we see ourselves, it reshapes how we live, relate to others, and experience God as our Father.
- 780There's More In You | Kevin Myers | FOUNTIn this message, Pastor Kevin shares in Manhattan that even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming, it's not the end of the story. Jesus promises that His Spirit would live in us, not just to comfort us, but to form us. As we wrestle with our own patterns, questions, and limitations, we're invited into a deeper trust and loyalty to Him. There is more in you not because of your own strength, but because God Himself is at work within you.
- 781Exchanging Our Good for God's Great | Mike Oaks | FOUNTIn Brooklyn, Mike walked us through the tension between settling for what feels good and stepping into what God is actually inviting us into, something greater. Through Saul in 1 Samuel 13 and Saul who becomes Paul in Acts 9, we see two different responses to God. God is not just calling us to believe in Him, but to be filled, empowered, and willing to move when He speaks.
- 782You Have Access | Brittany Smigielski | ALLINAt ALL IN, Brittany shared a powerful message on the access we've been given through Jesus. Through Hebrews and the tearing of the veil, we're reminded that we are not distant from God, but invited boldly into His presence with authority, freedom, and confidence. This message will stir your faith to stop standing at the doorway and fully step into the access, healing, and anointing available to every believer through Christ.
- 783From The Courtroom to The Table | Kathryn Myers | FOUNTIn this message, Pastor Kathryn Myers unpacks how Jesus moved us from a courtroom of accusation to a table of belonging. Through His atoning work and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are no longer defined by shame, but by the freedom and security of being God's sons and daughters.
- 784The Gate, The Camp, The City | Josh KelseyWhat do you do when you feel stuck and out of options? In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey walks through the story of four lepers in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to show how God meets us in impossible situations. "The Gate, The Camp, The City" is a powerful reminder to stop calling paralysis patience, stop trying to earn what Jesus has already finished, and freely give away the grace you have received. If you feel stuck, spiritually hungry, or unsure of your next step, this message will encourage you to trust God and move forward in faith.
- 785The Flow of Forgiveness | Kevin Myers | FOUNTThis week Pastor Kevin Myers teaches on "The Flow of Forgiveness" and the freedom that comes when we surrender offense, bitterness, and shame to Jesus. Through Scripture, we see that forgiveness is not weakness but the pathway to living fully alive in God's grace and unrestricted love.
- 786The Rhythm of Righteousness | Mike OaksWhat does righteousness actually look like in everyday life? In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks unpacks how righteousness is less about religious performance and more about right relationship with God and others. As we walk closely with Jesus, we begin to live satisfied, confident, and full of purpose in a world that desperately needs His love.
- 787Seen & Still Clothed | Olusegun OlujideWhy do we feel the need to hide our failures, earn God's approval, or punish ourselves when we fall short? In Seen and Still Clothed, Pastor Olu explores the difference between self-righteousness and the righteousness that comes through Christ. Through the story of Adam and Eve and the finished work of Jesus, we are reminded that God has already provided what we could never earn ourselves. This message is an invitation to step out of shame, stop performing, and confidently receive the grace that has been made available through faith.
- 788From Temptation to Redemption | Kevin MyersTemptation is something every believer will face, but it does not have to define us. In this message, we explore Jesus' prayer, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," and discover how God uses trials, testing, and even our weaknesses to form deeper dependence on Him. Through the example of Jesus and the promise of redemption, we are reminded that our story does not end in temptation but in transformation. Listen to this encouraging message and be reminded that God's grace is greater than any struggle you face.
- 789Who's In The Room? | Amy PerezWho was in the room before the Church began? In Week 1 of Build the House, Amy Perez looks at Acts 1 and the ordinary people gathered in the upper room. As they waited for God's promise, they were gathered and available, discipled and formed, empowered and sent. This message reminds us that God builds His Church through ordinary people who make room for Him.
- 790To Be Continued | Mike OaksJesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension were never meant to be the end of the story. In To Be Continued, Pastor Mike walks through Acts 2 and the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, reminding us that God empowers ordinary people to continue the work Jesus began. We discover that the Holy Spirit uniquely equips each of us, unites us as one body, guides us with peace, and sends us out on mission every day. The church isn't built by extraordinary people, but by ordinary people who are willing to be filled and led by the Spirit.
- 791A Different Mandate: Build With The Spirit | Kevin MyersWe continue our Build the House series by exploring God's invitation to live by a different mandate: build with the Spirit. Through the stories of Babel and Pentecost, we discover the difference between striving in our own strength and being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Kevin's message reminds us that we are not called to make a name for ourselves, but to build God's Kingdom with purpose, clarity, and confidence in His promise.
- 792They Asked For More and He Gave Them Less | Josh KelseyWhat if you've been asking God for more when He's already given you enough? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks Jesus' teaching in Luke 17 and reminds us that forgiveness doesn't require extraordinary faith, just a willingness to trust God with the faith we already have. As we stay close to the Father and release what we've been carrying, we begin to experience the freedom that only forgiveness can bring.
