In this episode, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington explores the tension between faith and waiting through John 11:1–7, where Jesus intentionally delays going to Lazarus. Though it seems confusing, His delay reveals a deeper truth: God’s love isn’t measured by His speed, and what feels like silence or disappointment is often the setup for a greater revelation of His glory. As we walk through Martha’s grief and Jesus’ response, we’re reminded that waiting is not wasted—it’s transformative. When God doesn’t move on our timeline, He’s still working beneath the surface, strengthening our faith and preparing us to see Him more clearly than ever before.

Pastor PJ jumps into a new sermon series Brought Back to Life. This episode explores the powerful story of Lazarus and what it reveals about our own lives and spiritual condition. Through John 11, we see that just like Lazarus, we are all in need of healing, hope, and the life-giving voice of Jesus. From the reality of our brokenness to the invitation of love and redemption, this message calls us to recognize our need and respond in faith. Join us as we discover how Jesus still calls us out of our tombs and into new life.

This sermon centers on the life-changing message of the cross: while it may seem foolish to some, it is the very power of God for salvation. Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we see God’s love in action—offering rescue to the lost, reconciliation to those separated from Him, and restoration through faith. The cross reminds us that no one is beyond God’s grace and that salvation is available to all who believe. Ultimately, it calls each person to respond by trusting in Christ and embracing the new life He offers.

In the sermon,The Table Before the Cross, with Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington, we see that communion is an intentional invitation from Jesus to remember His sacrifice, not just sit in proximity to Him—because you can be at the table and still miss the Savior without a surrendered heart. Through the bread and the cup, Jesus reveals Himself as our substitute and the source of a new covenant, calling us to respond with honesty, surrender, and a life that boldly proclaims His death and resurrection.

In this message, Because of Your Generous Giving, we see how God uses the obedience and sacrifice of His people to fuel life change, build community, and advance the Gospel. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 8–9, this sermon reminds us that giving is not transactional but transformational—an act of worship marked by generosity, intentionality, spiritual alignment, joy, and trust in God’s provision. Because of your giving, lives are being impacted, needs are being met, and the mission of Jesus is moving forward.

In this message from the series Because of You, PJ Noland, pastor of Collective Church, teaches on Because of Your Sacrificial Serving from John 13:1–5. Reflecting on Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, the sermon highlights that true serving is not just about actions but about cultivating the humble attitude of Christ. Drawing from passages like Philippians 2:1–8 and Mark 10:45, PJ reminds listeners that serving is central to the identity of every follower of Jesus. The message celebrates how sacrificial serving within the church helps immerse people in discipleship and reflects the heart of Christ to the world.

In this episode, PJ Noland, pastor of Collective Church, is joined by Justin Harrell and church member Bill Veuleman to reflect on how God has worked through the church in a new sermon series titled "Because of You." They discuss how a shared passion for people has helped connect hearts to the Gospel and build a culture of discipleship and community. Rooted in passages like 1 Thessalonians 3:7–9, Luke 19:10, and Psalm 147:3, the conversation highlights the joy and encouragement that comes from seeing lives changed through faith. The episode celebrates how God continues to seek the lost, heal the brokenhearted, and work through ordinary people to accomplish His mission.

In this episode of Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage, we explore The Commitment of Purity through Genesis 2:24–25 and 3:7–10. Discover how God’s design for oneness—once marked by openness and no shame—was fractured by sin, secrecy, and hiding, and how purity restores intimacy in marriage. We unpack what it means to live as people chosen and called to be holy in a contaminated world, resisting worldliness while walking as children of light. Join us as we learn that secrecy is the enemy of intimacy—and that true kingdom marriages are built on confession, truth, and wholehearted devotion to God.

In this message from Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage series, Justin Harrell, the Men's Discipleship Pastor, Explores The Commitment of Partnership. Inspired by Ephesians 5:25, this episode challenges couples to reflect on whether they love with expectations—or with the same grace Jesus shows us when we bring nothing to the table. It unpacks how true kingdom marriage mirrors Christ’s covenant love: steadfast, unbreakable, and anchored in reverence for Him. With wisdom on mutual submission, healthy margin, and the refining prayer of Psalm 139:23, this conversation calls couples to love not out of obligation—but because He first loved us.

In this message from the Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage series, we explore The Commitment of Pursuit rooted in Genesis 2:24. A Kingdom Marriage is a husband and wife functioning together under God’s rule, where the husband lovingly pursues his wife while both pursue God above all else. Drawing from Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, and Proverbs, this sermon unpacks the biblical meaning of “dabaq”—to cling with affection and devotion—and challenges couples to express love intentionally through words and actions. Singles are also called to shift their focus from finding the right person to becoming the right person by prioritizing God first. Discover how pursuing God wholeheartedly strengthens every pursuit in love and marriage.

In this episode of Kingdom Marriage, we begin a powerful series on the Four Kingdom Commitments by exploring The Commitment of Priority. Grounded in Matthew 22:37, this message unpacks what it means to place God first and your spouse second, establishing order, peace, and clarity in marriage under God’s authority. You’ll learn how protecting biblical priorities—leaving, cleaving, and loving sacrificially—builds a stronger, Christ-centered marriage. This sermon challenges couples and singles alike to seek God first while preparing for a healthy, God-honoring union.

In this episode of Seek First the Kingdom, we tackle a battle every believer faces: worry. Drawing from Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus’ three clear commands—do not worry—invite us to trust the Father who knows our needs and cares for every detail of our lives. We explore the meaning of worry as something that pulls us apart and discover how Jesus calls us to win the war with worry by repositioning our priorities, refocusing our faith, and learning to relax in God’s provision. As we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, we’re reminded that tomorrow is in His hands—and today is enough.

In this message from the Seek First the Kingdom series, Student Pastor Connor Alliston unpacks Jesus’ words from Matthew 6:30, “Why do you have so little faith?”, exploring how oligopistos faith is often shaped by circumstances, fear, and misplaced limits on God. Through Scripture, we see that true biblical faith is not wishful thinking or blind optimism, but confident obedience to God’s Word despite uncertain outcomes. This sermon invites listeners to seek first the Kingdom and discover how God grows our faith through communion with Him, renewed perspective, and enduring trials.

In this message from the Seek First The Kingdom series, “Who’s Your Master?”, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 and the heart behind Matthew 6:33. Jesus makes it clear: it’s not wrong to have possessions—but it is dangerous when possessions have us. This sermon examines how money and material things can subtly enslave our hearts, minds, and wills, pulling our devotion away from God. By unpacking Jesus’ teaching on treasure, vision, and masters, we’re reminded that wealth itself isn’t evil—but it makes a terrible master. True freedom is found when we seek first God’s Kingdom and allow Him alone to be Lord.

As a new year begins, we often chase change through effort and resolutions, only to find ourselves unchanged and discouraged. In this message from Seek First The Kingdom, we explore Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33 to focus on the one thing that truly leads to an abundant life—actively seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness above all else. Discover how misplaced priorities, worry, and divided devotion distract us, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus realigns everything else.
