Pastor Brandon continued in Judges 4, diving into the life of Deborah and what it looks like to carry a warrior spirit. He challenged us to step up with bold faith, trust God’s voice, and walk in courage right where we are.

Pastor Brandon continues the Judges series by looking at the life of Deborah and the strength she carried as a leader who trusted God fully. Her story challenges us to step up in faith, lead with courage, and rely on God’s direction in every season.

On Easter weekend, Pastor Brandon showed us that our risen Lord and Savior meets us right where we are. From fear and confusion to doubt, discouragement, and shame, the first disciples experienced intense emotions after the crucifixion. But Jesus met each of them personally and invited them to believe. The Resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate; it’s an opportunity to be honest about where we are and encounter a Savior who is already pursuing us. Because when Jesus meets us right where we are, everything changes.

In this message, guest speaker Dustin Woodward walks through the baptism of Jesus and what it reveals about how we’re meant to live. Before Jesus ever performed a miracle or began His ministry, God spoke over Him, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” His identity and approval were already established. So often, we live trying to earn God’s approval through what we do. But this message reminds us that we don’t work for God’s approval, we live from it. Because of Jesus, we are already loved, already chosen, and already accepted. When we truly understand that, it changes everything about how we live, lead, and follow Him.

In Week 3 of our Judges series, Pastor Brandon walks through what it looks like to fight the right enemy. So often, we find ourselves battling people or circumstances, but Scripture shows us that the real fight is deeper than what we can see. When we recognize where the true battle lies, it changes how we respond and how we live. This message is a reminder that God has given us everything we need to stand firm, experience freedom, and walk in the life He’s called us to.

In Week 2 of our Judges series, Pastor Brandon looks at the story of Israel’s first judge, Othniel, in the Book of Judges. Though his story is brief, it reveals a powerful truth: the victory didn’t come from Othniel’s strength, it came from the power of the Holy Spirit working through him. Just as the Spirit empowered Othniel to lead and bring deliverance to Israel, the Holy Spirit is still at work in and through believers today. This message is a reminder that God often uses ordinary people when they rely on His power.

In this message from Keystone Church, Brandon Thomas begins a new series through the Book of Judges, unpacking the cycle the people of Israel found themselves in—turning from God, facing the consequences, crying out, and experiencing His rescue. This message looks at the reality of the enemy and how the same sin cycle can still show up in our lives today. Even in the middle of failure, God remains faithful and continues to call His people back to Him.

We were honored to welcome Pastor Dan Lian to Keystone Church this Sunday for a powerful, timely message on making the most of your time and keeping the faith. In this sermon, Pastor Dan challenges us to live with urgency, purpose, and endurance — reminding us that our time is a gift from God and our faith is something worth guarding, strengthening, and living out daily. This message is both encouraging and practical, calling believers to stay rooted in Christ, focused on what matters most, and faithful in every season. Whether you’re navigating pressure, uncertainty, or transition, this word will strengthen your walk, sharpen your focus, and renew your commitment to live fully for Jesus.

Pastor Brandon wraps up our Lovesong series with a powerful message on Covenant Vision — teaching us how to build relationships with the right vision, not just the right feelings. In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks what it means to see your relationship through a covenant lens instead of a cultural one. He challenges us to stop building relationships based on emotion, convenience, or attraction alone, and instead build them on commitment, purpose, faith, and obedience to God. This isn’t just about dating or marriage — it’s about how we view love, commitment, sacrifice, and responsibility in every relationship God gives us. If you want a relationship that lasts, honors God, and reflects His design for covenant, this message is for you.

In this message, Pastor Brandon teaches on covenant conflict through the lens of marriage — showing that conflict itself isn’t the enemy, but disconnection is. He reframes the way couples see tension, disagreement, and hard conversations, revealing how God can use conflict to produce growth, maturity, and deeper intimacy when it’s handled the right way. He speaks honestly to the real pressures, patterns, and tensions that show up in everyday married life, and shares simple, practical, and biblical ways to avoid unnecessary conflict, communicate with wisdom, protect unity, and strengthen the foundation of your marriage. This message offers truth, clarity, and tools that help couples fight for their covenant instead of fighting each other.

This week, Pastor Brandon spoke on Covenant Focus—learning to recognize the little things in your relationship before they quietly turn into bigger problems. Healthy relationships aren’t built by ignoring the small stuff. They’re strengthened by attention, honesty, and choosing covenant over convenience. When you focus early, you protect what God is building. Because what you tend today shapes what you’ll live with tomorrow.

In this message from our Lovesong series, Pastors Brandon and Susan continue the conversation by diving into Covenant Friendship—and why the people you surround yourself with matter more than you think. From marriage to dating, your friendships don’t just influence your choices… they shape your future. Pastor Brandon and Susan unpack how God designed friendship to strengthen covenant relationships, guard your heart, and either build or break the health of your marriage and romantic relationships.

Pastor Brandon kicked off our brand-new series LoveSong, a journey through the book of Song of Solomon that explores God’s design for love, commitment, and relationships. In this opening message, Pastor Brandon introduces the idea of covenant attraction and breaks down the powerful difference between a covenant and a contract. While contracts are based on conditions and self-interest, covenants are rooted in commitment, sacrifice, and faithfulness—reflecting the way God loves us.

In this message, Pastor Brandon teaches on the power of prayer—not just praying once, but learning to be persistent in prayer. As part of our Cleanse series, this week challenges us to rely on God daily, stay committed in our conversations with Him, and trust that He is working even when answers don’t come immediately.

In this message, Pastor Brandon teaches on the purpose and power of fasting, using Elijah’s story as the biblical anchor. Through Elijah’s journey, we’re reminded that fasting isn’t about striving or performance — it’s about creating space to hear God clearly and depend on His strength. This message also marks the start of our 2-week fast, called Cleanse, where we’re intentionally setting aside distractions to seek God with fresh focus and expectation. Whether you’re new to fasting or have practiced it before, this teaching will help frame why we fast and how it shapes our faith.
