Religious Rules or Real Relationship - Week 4
The Logos speaks rhema. When God's Word comes alive to you, it becomes a sword. Don't just throw Scripture at problems—let it become real in you. Five minutes with Him can change your life. Be still, worship, read, and listen. He's speaking to you.
Religious Rules or Real Relationship - Week 3
Salvation isn't just about heaven vs. hell—it's about restored relationship with God. He sees you as holy, blameless, and above reproach. Not because of what you've done, but because of what Jesus did. The debt is paid. You are reconciled. Live in that truth today.
Religious Rules or Real Relationship - Week 2
Jesus didn't remove the mediator between you and God just so you could put another one back. He paid everything for direct access. You CAN hear His voice—you were born again with this ability. Start with His Word, learn His sound, and follow the Shepherd who leads by speaking.
Religious Rules or Real Relationship
Religion asks "Who sinned?" Jesus asks "How can God be glorified?" When legalism puts rules over relationship, we become blind to His work. Default setting: grace over control, God-conscious over sin-conscious. Let Him reveal Himself to the rejected.
Possessing the Land Week 9 - Clayton
This powerful exploration of faith challenges us to move beyond a superficial understanding and embrace what it truly means to walk by faith in a culture saturated with unbelief. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and the story of Joshua and Caleb in Numbers 13-14, we discover that faith isn't about denying reality or pretending problems don't exist. Instead, biblical faith acknowledges the giants in the lan
Possessing the Land Week 8 - Clayton
The presence of God changes everything. You can't fake time with Jesus. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. God longs for your presence more than you long for His. He's made a way through Jesus—no restriction, just invitation. Pursue Him today.
You Are God's Treasure
God is raising up a generation with Davidic anointing - people after His heart, not just His hand. You're His treasure, mantled with His gifts. Don't judge yourself before your growth spurt. Ask boldly, worship deeply, and watch Him open doors you can't reach.
A Shout from Heaven
God hears every cry - from the lost seeking salvation to those suffering from sin's effects. When faith rises and we follow the Spirit, His kingdom breaks through. The question isn't if God can use you, but will you take off the false identities holding you back?
Possessing the Land - Week 7 - Duane
This powerful message challenges us to reconsider where we actually stand in our spiritual journey by asking a provocative question: Are we standing in the land to possess right now? Drawing from the Israelites' entry into the Promised Land, we're confronted with the reality that stepping into God's promises isn't about waiting for perfect faith or ideal circumstances—it's about recognizing we're
Alive - Easter Sunday
This powerful Easter message challenges us to examine the very foundation of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We're reminded that even those closest to Jesus, the women who came to the tomb with spices, didn't expect Him to be alive. They came with good intentions but without faith. This reveals something profound about our own spiritual journey - we can go through religious motions wi
Possessing the Land Week 6
God brings us out of bondage to bring us into His promises. When opposition comes, don't set your heart on evil like the Israelites. Instead, worship, declare His faithfulness, and walk forward. The desert becomes a highway of holiness for the redeemed.
Possessing the Land - Week 5
This powerful exploration of the Book of Numbers reveals three essential principles for possessing God's promises in our lives. We journey alongside the second generation of Israelites who, after forty years in the wilderness, finally stood ready to enter the Promised Land. Their story illuminates timeless truths: first, that the enemy is actually afraid of us when we walk in obedience to God. Whe
Possessing the Land - Week 4
Faith isn't denying reality—it's trusting God's character when you can't see the outcome. Abraham left without knowing where he was going. Noah built when it made no sense. Faith pleases God because it says, "I'm with You, even when I don't understand."
Possessing the Land Series - Week 3
This powerful exploration of Numbers 13-14 confronts us with a sobering reality: the difference between seeing God's promises and actually possessing them. We discover two generations of Israelites standing at the same crossroads—one paralyzed by unbelief despite witnessing countless miracles, the other empowered by faith to step into their inheritance. The message challenges us to examine what pr
Possessing the Land Series - Week 2
God calls us to possess His promises, not just visit them. Faith sees beyond the giants to His goodness. What overwhelms you shapes you—will you be overwhelmed by problems or by His love? He longs for you to take hold more than you do. Believe Him and step forward.
The Three Chairs
This weekend with Leif Hetland was powerful.
“The biggest problem in the world isn’t a money problem — it’s an orphan problem.”
When we live from an orphan spirit, we perform for approval and strive for identity. But when we know we are beloved sons and daughters, everything changes.
We are not what we do.
We are not what we have.
We are not what others say.
We are loved. We belong. We have a Fath
Possessing the Land Series - Week 1
God calls us to more than just being set free—He calls us to possess His promises. Like Joshua facing the impossible after Moses died, we're called to step forward in faith. God is with you, not to remove battles, but to give you strength to face them and take new ground.
Be Established to the Freedom
This powerful message takes us on a journey through the spiritual realms, revealing how Christ's victory on the cross has positioned us far above every power and authority. Drawing from Ephesians and Colossians, we discover that spiritual warfare isn't about dramatic confrontations—it's found in the everyday choices we make to love unconditionally, forgive freely, and honor God in our relationship
Called to serve - Kingdom Call - Week 3
This message confronts us with a profound kingdom truth that challenges our natural inclinations: spiritual authority isn't measured by visibility or platform, but by the willingness to serve. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and the powerful imagery of the body of Christ, we're reminded that the most vital parts of any body aren't the ones on display—they're the hidden organs like the heart, lungs,
Called to serve - Kingdom Call - Week 2
This message challenges our worldly understanding of significance by revealing heaven's radical perspective on service and authority. Drawing from Jesus washing the disciples' feet in John 13, we discover that true authority in God's kingdom flows through servanthood, not dominance. The teaching unpacks Romans 12, 1 Peter 4, and 1 Corinthians 12 to show how God has supernaturally equipped each of
Called to Serve - Kingdom Call
What does true greatness look like in God's kingdom? This powerful exploration of John 13 and Luke 22 turns our worldly understanding of authority and service completely upside down. We're taken to the night before Jesus faces the cross—within 24 hours of unimaginable suffering—and what does He do? He kneels down and washes His disciples' feet. While carrying the weight of humanity's salvation, Je
Reliable Safeguards
As we step into a new year, we're reminded that God doesn't operate by our calendar—He works in seasons. This message invites us to examine the spiritual safeguards that keep us on the journey God has designed for us. Drawing from Philippians 3, we're challenged to ask ourselves: What are we truly confident in? Not just intellectually, but with the kind of conviction that stands firm when circumst
Prince of Peace - Christmas Eve
Christmas isn’t just a story—it’s heaven breaking into earth.
Through Mary’s yes and her Magnificat, we see how God prepares hearts for His purposes across generations. The message reveals five signs God is at work within us and reminds us that even before birth, John the Baptist recognized the Messiah. Our lives are part of something bigger than ourselves, and true transformation comes not by eff
He is the Gift - Prince of Peace
This message takes us on a profound journey through the entire biblical narrative, revealing that Christmas is far more than a celebration of God's redemption—it's the culmination of His desire for relationship with us. From the Garden of Eden where fellowship was broken, through every covenant and promise, we see God weaving a dual purpose: not just to save us, but to reveal Himself to us. The pr
Jesus Said - Week 10 - The Helper
At the heart of this message is a powerful truth from John 16:7—Jesus said it was better for Him to leave so the Holy Spirit could come. This reveals God’s plan: the Spirit is not temporary, but God’s permanent provision for every generation. The same power that worked through Jesus is available to us today, not because of our ability, but because God works through willing vessels. We’re invited t
Jesus Said - Week 9 - Parable of the Sower
What if the breakthrough we're desperately praying for isn't coming as a complete package, but as a tiny seed? This exploration of the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 challenges our instant-gratification mindset and reveals how God's kingdom actually works in our lives. We learn that when God gives us revelation—that 'aha moment' when His Word pierces our heart—He's not handing us the finishe
Jesus Said - Week 8 - Wine and Wineskins
In Luke 5:36–39, Jesus uses the parable of new wine and new wineskins to confront the religious mindset of His critics. After calling Matthew and dining with sinners, Jesus is questioned by Pharisees and John’s disciples about why His followers don’t fast like they do—a sign of comparison and religious prejudice. Jesus responds by teaching that new wine (the fresh movement of the Holy Spirit) cann
Jesus Said - Week 7 - Clayton
What do we truly treasure? This profound question sits at the heart of two powerful parables from Matthew 13—the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. Both stories reveal a stunning truth: when we discover something of God's kingdom, it's worth everything we have. The first parable shows us a laborer who stumbles upon treasure while working an ordinary day in someone else's field. He wasn'
Custodians and Stewards of God's Revelation - Greg Haswell
This powerful message invites us into a profound truth: we don't need to know everything—we just need to hold firmly to what God has revealed to us personally. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, we're reminded that while the world spirals in deception and chaos, we are called to continue in what we've learned and become convinced of. The emphasis here is transformative: it's not about accumulating more pos
Jesus Said - Week 6 - Mustard Seed
The mustard seed principle reveals something profound about how God's kingdom operates in our lives. Drawing from Matthew 17 and the prophetic words of Zechariah, we discover that God intentionally works through small beginnings—not because He lacks power, but because the journey itself prepares us to steward what He wants to give us. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon, Jesus pointed to
Jesus Said - Week 5 - Learn From Me
When Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee and called out 'Come, follow me,' two fishermen immediately dropped their nets and followed Him. This wasn't just a historical moment—it's the ongoing invitation extended to each of us today. We're not called to follow a man, a church, or a religious system, but Jesus Christ Himself. At the cross, three monumental victories were secured: death was destroyed,
Jesus Said - Week 4 - Simplicity of the Spirit
At the heart of this message lies a profound yet beautifully simple truth: spiritual vitality flows from genuine thirst for God. Drawing from John 7, we encounter Jesus standing at the Feast of Tabernacles, crying out with urgency that anyone who thirsts should come to Him and drink. This isn't casual thirst—it's the desperation of someone lost in the wilderness, the kind of hunger where anything
Jesus Said - Week 3 - Tommy Carothers
This message challenges us to examine whether we're trying to understand God intellectually or follow Him relationally. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-7, we're confronted with a profound truth: trusting God with all our hearts means not leaning on our own understanding. The teaching contrasts two educational systems—the Greek method focused on filling minds with knowledge, and the Hebrew method centere
Jesus Said | Week 2 | Who is my Neighbor
In this powerful exploration of love, we delve into the greatest commandments: loving God and loving our neighbor. The message draws from Mark 12 and Luke 10, highlighting Jesus' teachings on these fundamental principles. We're challenged to understand that true love - agape love - goes beyond mere feelings or convenience. It's a divine love, one that requires obedience and often personal sacrific
Jesus Said | Week 1
Jesus reminds us that He alone has all authority. Our foundation must be built on His Word, not on fear or judgment. He calls us to love, forgive, show mercy, and boldly live out the truth of the Gospel.
Facing Fear
In our journey of faith, we often encounter anxiety and fear that can paralyze us. This message reminds us that anxiety is a choice, not a right. We're called to cast our cares upon God, as outlined in Philippians 4:6. The parable of the sower illustrates how worry can choke our spiritual growth, cutting us off from God's life-giving presence. But there's hope! Through praise, particularly 'tehill
God, Help us
God, Help Us!
In this powerful message, we are reminded that even in times of fear, weakness, and cultural pressure, God is calling His people back to Him.
The story of Gideon shows us that God chooses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Though Gideon felt unqualified and afraid, God revealed Himself, gave him courage, and used his obedience to deliver a nation. In the same way, Go
Physical Healing
In this powerful exploration of physical healing, we're challenged to confront our beliefs and experiences with God's promises. The central message revolves around Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24, and Psalm 103:1-3, emphasizing that healing is part of Christ's finished work on the cross. We're encouraged to trust in God's word even when our physical senses tell us otherwise. The speaker shares persona
Anxiety - Duane Kobayashi
In this powerful message, we're reminded that our minds are battlefields, where a constant war rages between spiritual and carnal thoughts. The key verse from Romans 8 emphasizes the stark contrast: 'To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.' We're challenged to prepare for this ongoing spiritual war, recognizing that our enemy is experienced and knows our wea
Identity in Christ
In this powerful message, we're reminded of our true identity and inheritance in Christ. The focus is on Paul's letter to the Ephesians, particularly the first chapter, which unveils the spiritual blessings we have in the heavenly realms. We learn that before the world's creation, God chose us to be holy and blameless, adopting us as His children. This isn't just a future promise, but a present re
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 22
In this powerful message, we delve into the book of Nehemiah, exploring how rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem symbolizes the restoration of our spiritual lives. The key lesson here is that God is interested not just in physical reconstruction, but in rebuilding His people. As we examine Nehemiah 6-12, we see how worship, the Word of God, and community are essential components in establishing a kin
2025.06.01 - Ken
In our exploration of God's glory, we're reminded of the awe-inspiring encounters on Mount Sinai, where Moses experienced the manifestation of divine presence. This powerful narrative serves as a gateway to understanding the transformative nature of God's glory in our lives today. We're called to recognize that while the Old Testament glory faded, the New Testament glory, through Christ, is ever-i
The Lord is One
In this powerful message, we explore the profound truth of Jesus as 'the way, the truth, and the life.' We delve into the Garden of Eden story, examining how sin entered the world and brought death to all humanity. The speaker beautifully illustrates our inherent condition of spiritual death and our inability to save ourselves. We're reminded that Jesus didn't just die for us, but as us - fully hu
Rebuilding the Gates Week 13 - Part II
In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of repentance and conviction. The central theme revolves around the 'dung gate' from Nehemiah, symbolizing the process of getting rid of things that hold us back through repentance and forgiveness. We're reminded that repentance isn't about beating ourselves up, but a gift from God to clear blockages in our spiritual lives.
Stewarding Encounter with God
In this powerful message, we're challenged to recognize and steward our encounters with God. The parable of the talents from Matthew 25 serves as a cornerstone, illustrating how God entrusts us with spiritual gifts and experiences. Just as the servants were given different amounts according to their abilities, we too receive unique encounters with God. The key is not the quantity or intensity of t
Rebuilding the Walls - Week 12
In this powerful message, we're called to explore the transformative power of repentance, forgiveness, and conviction in our spiritual lives. The sermon delves into Nehemiah 3, focusing on the rebuilding of the 'dung gate' as a metaphor for how we must remove toxicity from our lives. We're reminded that repentance isn't a negative concept, but a gift from God that allows us to grow and change. The
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 11
In this powerful exploration of the 'Inspection Gate' from Nehemiah, we're challenged to live with eternity in our hearts. This isn't just about looking forward to heaven, but about making decisions now based on eternal values. The message draws from 1 Peter 1 and Matthew 6, reminding us that our inheritance is 'incorruptible and undefiled.' We're encouraged to lay up treasures in heaven, where mo
Easter
In this powerful message, we explore the profound truth of Jesus as 'the way, the truth, and the life.' We delve into the Garden of Eden story, examining how sin entered the world and brought death to all humanity. The speaker beautifully illustrates our inherent condition of spiritual death and our inability to save ourselves. We're reminded that Jesus didn't just die for us, but as us - fully hu
Words of Knowledge
In this powerful message, we're challenged to step out in faith and embrace the gifts of the Holy Spirit, particularly words of knowledge. The story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath from 1 Kings 17 illustrates how God often chooses the most unlikely vessels to demonstrate His power and provision. This narrative reminds us that it's not about our resources, but our willingness to trust and obey
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 10
In exploring the significance of the 'old gate' from Nehemiah, we're reminded of the vital importance of foundations in our spiritual lives. Just as the Israelites rebuilt their city walls, we too must constantly reinforce the foundational truths of our faith. The message emphasizes that we shouldn't seek to 'graduate' from these basics, but rather develop a profound understanding of them. It's no
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 9
In this powerful exploration of the Fountain Gate, we're invited to rediscover the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Drawing parallels between the rebuilding of Jerusalem's gates in Nehemiah and our spiritual journey, we're challenged to examine: Are we truly experiencing the living waters of the Holy Spirit? The message takes us through Jesus' profound teachings on the Holy Sp
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 8
In this powerful exploration of God's Word, we're reminded of its transformative power in our lives. The central message revolves around the parable of the sower from Mark 4, emphasizing how we receive and nurture the 'seeds' of God's truth. We're challenged to consider: Are we allowing God's Word to truly take root in our hearts, or are we like the path, rocky ground, or thorny soil? The speaker
Rebuilding the Gates - Week 7
In this powerful exploration of God's Word, we delve into the profound significance of the 'Water Gate' from the book of Nehemiah. This gate symbolizes the living, transformative power of Scripture in our lives. We're reminded that God's Word is eternal, unchained, and ever-relevant. The story of Ezra reading the law to the people highlights the reverence and hunger we should have for God's Word.
Rebuilde the Gates - Week 6
In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound symbolism of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem as depicted in the book of Nehemiah. This isn't just a historical account; it's a blueprint for how we can strengthen and build up our church community today. We're challenged to consider the various 'gates' of our spiritual lives - from the Sheep Gate representing our foundational unders
Standing Firm: Authority in Spiritual Warfare - Week 2
In our spiritual journey, we're called to be aware of the unseen battles around us. This message delves into the reality of spiritual warfare, grounded in the story of Adam and Eve's temptation in Genesis 3. We're reminded that our enemy, though defeated, still roams like a roaring lion. However, our focus isn't on the enemy, but on Jesus Christ and our identity in Him. The serpent's tactics of so

Prince of Peace
Clayton reflects on the Christmas season, a time when we celebrate the birth of Christ. But it’s more than just that. From heaven’s perspective, it marks the moment when heaven breaks into earth in a tangible, physical, and demonstrative way. Jesus came not only to reveal what is broken in the world but also to redeem it
