God makes a clear promise: the diligent will rule, but the lazy will be put to forced labor. In this powerful message from Proverbs and the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25), Pastor Steven unpacks why diligence is the difference between being in charge and being in chains. You’ll discover three kingdom principles: 1. The diligent move with urgency 2. The diligent build on their blessings 3. The diligent do more and get more This message challenges every generation to stop burying what God has placed in their hands and start multiplying it. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment or making excuses, this teaching will call you to action.

God has a promise for those who stay rooted: the planted will flourish. In this message from Colossians 2, Pastor Steven unpacks the first promise in our new series, Promises. Paul writes that we are to be “rooted and built up in Him,” and Scripture shows that those who are planted in the house of the Lord will still bear fruit — even in old age. This teaching covers three places God wants you planted so you can flourish: 1. Planted in Christ – through the rhythms of prayer, fasting, and the Word 2. Planted in the Church – attending, serving, and giving 3. Planted in Community – walking with other believers who point you to Jesus If you’ve felt dry, disconnected, or stuck, this message will call you back to the soil where real growth happens.

Our world is on fire. Culture is shaking. And many people are getting derailed from the path of life. In this bold message, Pastor Steve exposes four dangerous “isms” that are pulling people off track: • Socialism – entitlement instead of empowerment • Hedonism – living for pleasure instead of purpose • Relativism – calling evil good and good evil • Intellectualism – trusting human wisdom over God Using Scripture, Pastor Steve shows why God’s ways still work when the world’s ways fail — and why we must choose the narrow path that leads to life. If you’ve felt the pressure of culture, confusion, or compromise, this message will bring clarity and call you back to the track God designed for you.

What do you do when the storm hits and Jesus seems silent? In this powerful message from Mark 4:36-41, Pastor Steve walks through the moment the disciples faced sudden wind and waves — and Jesus was asleep in the boat. This teaching will help you: • Face fear when the storm rises • Trust Jesus even when He seems quiet • Remember that the One in your boat is greater than the waves • Move from panic to peace in the middle of life’s storms If you’re walking through a season where the wind and waves feel overwhelming, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you who is with you in the boat.

God’s timing rarely matches our timeline. In this powerful message, Pastor Steve challenges us to come to grips with the reality that there is a time for everything under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Using the stories of Zechariah and John the Baptist, he shows how God’s delays are never denials — and how learning to trust His timing changes the way we live. If you’ve been waiting, wondering, or frustrated with God’s timing, this message will help you release control and rest in His perfect plan.

How can you have joy when your circumstances aren't joyful? In the final message of the Joy series through Philippians, Pastor Steven teaches from Philippians 4 about finding joy, peace, and contentment in every circumstance. Paul reminds us that our joy isn't dependent on what happens around us because God is near, God is strong, and God will provide what we need. Discover how to respond to anxiety, renew your mind, learn contentment, and trust God with your circumstances and your future. You can have joy in all circumstances because your joy is found in Jesus.

Starting with Jesus is powerful. Continuing with Jesus is where real transformation happens. In this message from Philippians 3, Pastor Steven teaches how to keep going in your walk with Christ — even when life gets hard, distractions come, or the past tries to pull you back. From Paul’s example of counting everything as loss for the sake of knowing Jesus, this teaching will help you: • Press on toward the goal • Forget what is behind • Strain toward what is ahead • Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus If you’ve ever felt stuck, weary, or tempted to quit, this message will strengthen your resolve to continue in Jesus.

What does it actually look like to live like Jesus in everyday life? In this powerful message from Philippians 2, Pastor Steven unpacks the mindset of Christ and shows us how to walk it out. Jesus didn’t cling to His rights — He emptied Himself, took on the form of a servant, and chose humility for our sake. This teaching challenges us to: • Have the same mindset as Jesus • Put others above ourselves • Choose humility over pride • Live with the same selfless love that Jesus modeled Whether you’re struggling with pride, relationships, or simply wanting to reflect Jesus more clearly, this message will give you practical and biblical keys to live like Him.

What if the situation you see as a setback is actually a setup for what God wants to do through your life? In this message, Pastor Steven begins our new series, Joy, through the book of Philippians. Written while the Apostle Paul was imprisoned and in chains, Philippians is filled with the words “joy” and “rejoice”—showing us that our joy doesn't have to be determined by our circumstances.

Have you ever felt the weight of loss — loss of peace, joy, relationships, dreams, or direction? In this powerful message, Charlotte Gambill reveals Jesus as the ultimate Loss Adjuster. Just as an insurance loss adjuster assesses damage and makes things right, Jesus came to adjust every loss in your life. He adjusts: • Sin and shame → Freedom and forgiveness • Brokenness → Restoration • Anger → Love • Hopelessness → Fresh hope No matter what you’ve lost, the cross is the place where Jesus makes it right. You are covered. The Loss Adjuster is already at work. Watch this message and let Jesus adjust what’s been broken in your life.

What does it look like to continue in love when life gets hard, people disappoint you, or your own heart grows weary? In this message from the Love Is series, Andrew Matrone teaches from Philippians 1:6 and reminds us of a powerful truth: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” God doesn’t start something in you only to abandon it. He is faithful to finish what He started — including the work of love in your life. Whether you’re tired of loving well, struggling to keep going, or wondering if the good work God began will actually last, this message will strengthen your confidence and renew your commitment to continue in love.

What does it really mean to “consider love”? In this powerful message from the Love Is series, Pastor Steven unpacks 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 and challenges us to carefully examine what true biblical love looks like in everyday life. Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. This teaching will help you move beyond surface-level love and into a deeper, more intentional way of living and relating to others.

What does it look like to truly lean into love the way God designed it? In this powerful message, Pastor Steven challenges us to stop holding back and start leaning fully into the love of God — and letting that love flow through us to others. Whether you’ve been hurt, disappointed, or simply distracted, this message will help you move from a safe distance into a deeper, more intentional life of love.

Paul promised the Corinthian church he would show them “a more excellent way.” That way is agape love — the kind of love that makes spiritual gifts actually useful instead of noisy and divisive. In this message you’ll discover: • Why even the most powerful gifts are worthless without love • The true definition of love (patient, kind, not self-seeking) • Why love outlasts every spiritual gift • How to pursue the more excellent way in your own life If you’ve ever valued gifts, talents, or results more than people, this message is for you.

One experience of rejection can create a lifelong fear that causes us to either pull back or lash out. In this powerful message, we uncover how the fear of rejection works, how it opens the door to spiritual oppression, and how Jesus modeled freedom from it. You’ll discover: • Why rejection (from people or circumstances) is so powerful • How fear of rejection leads to isolation and bitterness • The connection between rejection, unforgiveness, and missing God’s grace • How God turns the rejected into the cornerstone If you’ve ever felt pushed away, not good enough, or afraid of being rejected again, this message is for you.
