Sometimes we want God to change the conditions before we take the step. But what if the breakthrough comes after the obedience? In Joshua 3, the priests had to step into a flooded Jordan River before they ever saw the water move. In this message, we look at what it means to be brave, simply obey what God has asked us to do, lead others through difficult situations, and stay faithful until the assignment is finished. Where has fear convinced you to wait? Where have difficult conditions become an excuse for delayed obedience? God has a next step for you. Take it.

Redemption was already paid for. Restoration is what you have to go dig up. In this message, guest speaker Ryan Bush breaks down the difference between two words believers use interchangeably but shouldn't: redemption and restoration. Redemption is the finished work of the cross — a free gift you didn't earn and can't repeat. Restoration is different. It's physical, tangible, and it demands your participation. Using the story of Isaac re-digging his father's buried wells in Genesis 26, Ryan unpacks why the things you've lost — joy, confidence, health, peace, a dream you buried years ago — aren't gone. They're just covered up, waiting for you to start digging. Subscribe.

Your negative thoughts aren't defeated with better thoughts — they're defeated with words. In this message, Pastor Bill Scheer breaks down the connection between grace, humility, and a renewed mind — and why your words, not just your thoughts, carry spiritual authority. From temptation only lasting a few seconds to why "a door God closes, no man can open," this message walks through 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 12, and 2 Corinthians 9:8 to show what it means to live from a position of grace instead of striving. It closes with a challenge to stop praying "nickel-and-dime prayers" and start praying big. Subscribe.

God's grace isn't just good news — it's too good to be true news. In this message, Pastor Bill Scheer breaks down Ephesians 2, Romans 5, and John 1 to unpack what grace actually means: not something we earn, but something God has already done. From Paul's thorn in the flesh to the truth that "we're all in the same boat" no matter how far along we feel in our walk with God, this teaching is a practical, no-fluff look at grace, faith, and why you can stop comparing your progress to everyone else's. Pastor Bill closes with an altar call and a salvation prayer for anyone ready to make Jesus the Lord of their life.

You can be born again and still never grow up spiritually — here's the six-stage path from surviving your faith to multiplying it.Pastor Bill Scheer walks through Ephesians 4:11-16 to lay out the discipleship progression every believer moves through: born again, renewed, trained, equipped, mature, and multiplying. He shares his own 1979 conversion story alongside a hospital visit that tested his faith, then closes with a direct, no-blinders-on altar call for anyone who needs to make Jesus Lord of their life. It's a challenge to stop being a spiritual tourist and start becoming a true disciple who reproduces disciples.

In this powerful Sunday message from Guts Church, Pastor Bill Scheer teaches on the joy of the Lord, the church Jesus is building, and how believers can stand strong no matter what comes against them. Joy is not just happiness or emotion. Joy is spiritual strength, rooted in God’s Word and His promises. Pastor Bill challenges the church to guard their joy, stop letting pressure, discouragement, and circumstances get inside their heart, and choose to rejoice before the situation changes. This message ends with a bold altar call and a powerful moment of salvation, surrender, and victory.

Conflict on the outside, fear on the inside — nevertheless, God.Pastor Bill Scheer opens Psalm 119:130 and 2 Corinthians 7:5 to unpack how God meets us in the middle of pressure — not by removing the fight, but by sending the right person into it. Bill walks through building margins in a maxed-out life, staying coachable, and why isolation (especially the kind our phones enable) is one of the enemy's most effective tools. The message lands on a simple, practical call: come back, get on a team, and find your Titus.

Winning isn't accidental — and it doesn't start when everything around you finally changes. It starts with a decision, gets built on a foundation, and holds steady through faith plus patience. This week Pastor Bill breaks down exactly what it looks like to stop waiting for your circumstances to shift and start standing on what God already said. If you're tired of looking for hope instead of living in it, this message is for you. Winning starts here — in you, now.

What if the ultimate win has nothing to do with what you accumulate on earth? Pastor Bill Scheer challenges the way we measure success — not by what we possess, but by what our lives produce for eternity. Through the lens of covenant, he breaks down the two scoreboards operating in every life: the impact we make on earth and the fruit stored in heaven. From praying over a child with a serious diagnosis to calling out a generation to go on the offense, this message will shift how you see your resources, your time, and your purpose. Subscribe.
