This Changes Everything

In this powerful Easter message, we explore the single event that changed everything, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because Easter isn’t just a tradition. It’s not just a story. It’s the moment where justice, mercy, and power collided and history was never the same. Jesus didn’t just die for your sin…He defeated death itself. The cross was the payment. The resurrection was the proof and because He rose: You can be forgiven, You can have new life, You can live free from sin and death. Whether you have been following Jesus for decades or are still on the fence with unanswered questions, this message reminds us that the resurrection is a historic invitation to true freedom, forgiveness, and new life.

The Jesus We Skip

Have you ever rushed straight from the "Hosannas" of Palm Sunday to the "Hallelujahs" of Easter without stopping to look at the painful days in between?

We celebrate the cross.

We celebrate the empty tomb.

But what happened in between?

In this powerful message, Pastor Travis Deatherage challenges us to slow down and truly behold the innocent Son of God in his suffering who was arrested, beaten, mocked and crowned…not with gold, but with thorns before He ever reached the cross. Here’s the truth:

👉 To crown Jesus properly, we must behold Him accurately.

The Dangerous Disconnect

Have you ever ended up somewhere in life, financially, relationally, or spiritually and thought, "I never intended for that to happen"? You don’t end up somewhere by accident. You end up there by direction and the reality is: 👉 The path you were on led you there. In this powerful message, Pastor Patrick Tanton unpacks one of the most practical truths from the book of Proverbs: Your path determines your destination. We all have good intentions for where we want to end up in five or ten years, but there is often a massive disconnect between what we intend and the direction we actually go. Is your current direction leading you to where you actually want to go? If not, today is your opportunity to make a change. It's time to let the Holy Spirit highlight where you need to make a change!

How To Get Over Yourself

Everyone wants wisdom… but few people realize how it actually enters our lives. In this message, Pastor Patrick Tanton explores one of the most overlooked foundations of a wise life: humility. Scripture repeatedly warns that pride leads to destruction, while humility positions us to receive wisdom, grace, and life from God. But humility isn’t just thinking poorly of yourself, it’s learning to see God, yourself, and others the way He does. If you want to experience God’s wisdom, God’s direction, and God’s blessing in your life, it begins with a simple but powerful step: humbling yourself before Him. For some, this message is a reminder to surrender areas of life you've been holding onto. For others, this may be the moment to begin a relationship with God for the first time through Jesus. Either way, humility is the doorway that opens the abundant life God has for you.

How To Make A Lasting Impact

What if generosity doesn’t shrink your life… but actually expands it? The Bible mentions the word "give" over 2,000 times, reminding us that we serve a giving God and are called to reflect that in our own lives. But living open-handed doesn't just help others—it transforms YOU! In this message Pastor Patrick Tanton unpacks what the Bible says about the wisdom of generosity and why open-handed living leads to a larger, richer, more meaningful life. The world of the generous gets larger and larger… but the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. This isn’t just about money. Do you want to use your blessings to build a life of luxury, or a life of legacy?

You Can't Follow Both

Every day, two voices are calling. One is loud, seductive, and looks appealing on the outside. The other is steady, solid, and leads to life. In this powerful message from Proverbs 9, Pastor Josh Starnes explores the contrast between Wisdom and Folly — two invitations, two banquets, two paths. And the difference between them isn’t obvious at first glance. The world’s voice may be louder. The wide path may look easier. But only one invitation leads to life. If you’re tired of going back and forth… If you feel spiritually divided… If you’re unsure which voice to trust… This message will help you discern the difference — and choose the banquet that brings life.

Everyone wants wisdom — but few people know where it actually begins. We often think education and experience are enough to navigate life, but there is a massive difference between being smart and being wise.

How To Let Go and Forgive

We all want a fresh start. But how far into your future do you intend to carry the pain created in your past? You can’t move forward while carrying what hurt you. And many of us are doing exactly that. In this message, Pastor Patrick Tanton teaches why real freedom doesn’t come from ignoring the past — it comes from releasing it. This message explains how unresolved anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness quietly shape our future decisions, relationships, and emotional health. This message isn’t about excusing what someone did — it’s about releasing yourself so you can step fully into what God has next for you. If you don't release the past, the past will never release you.

Why You Keep Making the Same Mistakes

We all have looked back at a failed relationship, a financial mess, or a career mistake and asked the same question: "What was I thinking?" or "How did I get here?". What if the real problem wasn’t just the decision — but the thinking behind it? Pastor Patrick Tanton explores why we often repeat history even when we are desperate for change. Lasting change doesn’t start with better intentions — it starts with renewed thinking. This message shows how unexamined thought patterns lead us back into the same mistakes again and again. If you are ready to ensure that "next time won't be like last time," you have to do more than just change your behavior—you have to change your mind.

The Reason You're Stuck

We all love a fresh start. Whether it was a mistake at work, a failed relationship, or a financial error, we all have things we wish we could erase — but what if the key to a better future isn’t moving forward faster, but looking back honestly? In this message, Pastor Patrick Tanton addresses the hardest — and most important — step toward real change: owning your part of the past. Whether the past brought relational conflict, financial stress, career setbacks, or personal regret, this message shows how refusing to take responsibility keeps us stuck in the same cycles. This teaching reveals why blaming others feels natural — and why it quietly sabotages our future. Your best bet for a successful future is to own your part of the past..

Why You're Anxious

Everyone wants peace — but most of us are looking for it in all the wrong places. We look for it in our bank accounts, our relationships, or simply by hoping for a quiet day. But what if real peace has nothing to do with your circumstances? In this message Pastor Patrick Tanton unpacks what it truly means that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. In a world filled with anxiety, stress, conflict, and uncertainty, this message reveals that real, lasting peace is not found in the absence of problems — but in the presence of the Savior. The Bible shows us that peace isn’t something circumstances create or destroy. It’s something Jesus gives so If you are tired of letting anxiety rule your life, it is time to let the peace of Christ make the calls. Stop looking for peace in your situation and start looking to the Source.

The Father You've Always Needed

For many, the word "Father" brings pain rather than peace. Whether your earthly father was a hero or absent, there is a Father who never fails. In this powerful message, Pastor Josh Starnes unpacks the third powerful name in Isaiah 9:6: Everlasting Father and what it reveals about Jesus, and our identity. This title presents a theological mystery: How can Jesus (the Son) be called the Father? Whether your earthly father was loving, absent, or hurtful, this message offers healing, hope, and a new foundation for identity. This season, be reminded that you are wanted, chosen, and covered by the love of a perfect Father — and through Jesus, His name and identity rest on you.

Stop Trying to Be The Hero

Are you exhausted from trying to fix everything yourself? Whether you see yourself as the hero saving the day or the villain messing it up, you are carrying a weight you were never meant to bear. We often view God as powerful, but we miss the intimacy of His strength. In this powerful message, Pastor Cleve Masten unpacks the meaning of “Mighty God”, revealing Jesus not just as a baby in a manger, but as the victorious Savior who conquers death, destroys darkness, carries our burdens, and goes before us in every battle. This message invites you to step out of the role of “hero” or “villain” in your own life — and let Jesus be the Hero of the story. Because He already wins. And if He lives in you… you don’t fight from defeat — you fight from victory. If you feel overwhelmed, ashamed, exhausted, or like you’re fighting battles you can’t win — this message will remind you of one truth: You are not alone, you are not an orphan, and your Hero God goes before you.

Don't Carry It Anymore

Christmas isn’t supposed to feel this heavy. Anxiety. Stress. Expectations. Endless to-dos. Many of us walk into December carrying more emotional and spiritual weight than joy.

The Power Of 'Yet'

How do you worship God when nothing in your life is going the way you prayed? 🙏 In this message, Pastor Patrick Tanton walks through Habakkuk chapter 3, where a prophet chooses to remember God’s faithfulness and worship God in the valley — long before anything changes on the outside. Habakkuk wrestled in chapter 1. He waited in chapter 2. But in chapter 3…he worships. If you are ready to move from wrestling to worshiping or if you’re in a season of questions, confusion, or pain — this sermon is a reminder that while God may not always change your circumstances, He is always your source of strength.

When God Is Silent

In Habakkuk Chapter 2, the prophet transitions from questioning God's inaction to anxiously awaiting God's answer and deliverance. This is a powerful and painfully honest look at what it means to wait on God when your prayers feel unanswered and life makes no sense.
