What does it look like for Christ to be formed in the life of a believer? In this message, Pastor Jordan Deal explores spiritual formation through the work of the Holy Spirit and the transforming power of God’s Word. Drawing from Scripture, he challenges us to embrace the process of being formed, conformed, and transformed into the image of Christ as the Word takes root within us. Discover what it means to behold Christ, receive His Word, and allow His life to be expressed through yours.

God never intended one person to carry the burdens alone. From Moses and the seventy elders to the early church in Acts 6, the Lord places His Spirit on many so that a table can be prepared even in the wilderness. Pastor David Bendett calls Rock City to stop complaining, surrender selfish cravings, and step into the shared work of serving and feeding God’s people. As the house grows, more table waiters are needed—will you take your place?

Pastor Jordan Shimon continues the Formation conversation with a powerful call to true discipleship. Through his own story of radical honesty and transformation, and the account of Blind Bartimaeus, he shows that Christ is formed in us only when we die to pride, personal schedules, and the demand that God move according to our plans. The power that works *in* us is what produces the vision to follow Jesus every day. A raw, practical invitation to rebirth and clear sight.

You were born for this. Pastor David Bendett’s message calls believers to move from simple belief into true discipleship through the new birth, childlike faith, the Beatitudes, and a lifelong process of pruning and renewal. Run the race with purpose, discipline, and endurance for an eternal prize—staying desperate, humble, and fully surrendered to Christ. A powerful call to go all-in and never stop being made new.

Pastor David Bendett launches the Formation Series with a powerful call to the fullness of Christ. From the garden commission to the Great Commission, every believer is charged to go, make disciples, and grow into maturity through the five-fold ministry. Discover what it means to live as a true disciple—sacrificial, outward-focused, fruitful, and ready for the new wine God is pouring out. A foundational message for anyone ready to move from believer to whole, complete disciple.

We are called to be houses of prayer—temples of the Holy Spirit where selfish desires are exchanged for God’s. Pastor Jordan Deal unpacks Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John 17, the true meaning of prayer as an exchange of wishes, and the call to repent of self-focused praying so we can pray His will in Jesus’ name. A powerful invitation to deeper surrender and intercession.

Prayer does not have to be complicated. Pastor David Bendett teaches that God desires a simple, honest, two-way conversation with us—rooted in friendship, invitation, and daily partnership. Learn how to keep prayer vibrant through consistency, gratitude, Spirit-led dependence, and enduring faith that trusts even in the waiting. A freeing word for anyone ready to stop overcomplicating their relationship with the Father and simply abide.

In a time of transition, God is reforming how we pray. Pastor Jordan Shimon unpacks Matthew 21—Jesus cleansing the temple and cursing the fruitless fig tree—to expose appearance without fruit and transactional prayer. True prayer (proseuche) is the exchange of our desires for God’s will. Honest, believing prayer removes mountains and invites real transformation.

Prayer is the life force connecting us to God’s voice, guidance, and power. Pastor David Bendett teaches from Hebrews 4:16 how we can boldly approach the throne of grace for mercy and timely help. Jesus made the way, paid the price, and understands our weaknesses — empowering us to pray with honesty, dependence, and confidence. A practical and encouraging continuation on the Lord’s Prayer model and the privilege of bold communion with God.

Prayer is the life force that sustains and empowers your walk with God. Pastor David Bendett unpacks James 5, showing how earnest, faith-filled, honest prayer — combined with confession and forgiveness — avails much and releases healing and breakthrough. Like Elijah, righteous prayer (positioned in Christ) moves mountains. A powerful call to consistent, expectant communion with God.

Through the powerful story of Joseph, Pastor Chris Burns reminds us that God’s dreams and promises are tested through suffering, but they are ultimately for the blessing and deliverance of others. Learn to interpret hardship through the lens of the gospel — suffering leads to glory, death leads to resurrection life. A timely encouragement to trust God’s word even when everything looks opposite, and to live with open hands for the benefit of many.

What makes a church truly Super Normal ? Pastor David Bendett describes an authentic, powerful church family where Jesus is Head, love is central, and believers stir one another to love and good works. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and 12, discover the call to gather faithfully, experience Mount Zion reality, and live as part of the general assembly of the firstborn — bringing holistic life, healing, and supernatural power to the world around us.

Discover the kind of prayer that truly avails much — earnest, fervent, faith-filled prayer that moves heaven and changes circumstances. Pastor David Bendett teaches from James 5 how honest confession, forgiveness, and persistent prayer release healing, deliverance, and breakthrough. Like Elijah, a righteous person (positioned in Christ) can pray with power that shifts situations and cultures. Prayer is not just routine — it is supernatural partnership with God.
