There comes a moment in every believer's life when standing in the middle is no longer an option. This message from Pastor Matt Cottrill on Sunday, October 11th 2026, takes us to one of the most dramatic confrontations in all of Scripture, where the prophet Elijah faces a nation that had not abandoned God entirely but had simply made room for other things alongside him. The haunting question posed
Hold The Line
What does it mean to hold the line when everything around us is pressing in? This message from Matt Harvey on Wednesday, September 20th 2026 draws a striking parallel between the infantry lines of historical warfare and the spiritual battles we face every day.

What does it look like to hold on when everything in us is screaming to let go? This message from Georgeon Pedigo on Sunday, September 27th 2026 takes us on a journey through one of the most striking passages in the book of Acts, where Paul, facing beatings, imprisonment, and an uncertain future, declares that none of these things move him.

Methuselah Faith
What does it mean to leave something behind that truly matters? Pastor Matt Cottrill's message from Sunday, September 13th, 2026 takes us deep into one of the Bible's most overlooked figures, Methuselah, a man remembered almost entirely for his age. Genesis 5 records his 969 years of life and then simply says he died. No great speeches, no celebrated victories, just a life lived between two extrao
Spiritual Influencer
What does it mean to truly influence someone? Bishop Mark Cottrill's message from Sunday, September 13th 2026 answers that question.

What does it mean to truly possess the promises God has given us? This message by Dylan Cottrill on Sunday, September 9th 2026 takes us back to the very beginning, to a garden where everything was in place, the soil rich with potential, the environment perfectly prepared, yet something was missing: someone to work the ground.

What does it really take to experience a breakthrough? This message by Robert Moses on Sunday, August 16th 2026 digs into one of the most powerful dynamics in the life of faith: the relationship between diligence and the suddenly of God.

Give Expecting Nothing In Return Part Two
The Musings of a Rock
What would it take for a rock to cry out in praise? That is the striking question at the heart of this message from Pastor Matt Cottrill on Sunday, August 9th 2026 drawn from Luke 19, where Jesus makes his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and declares that if his disciples held their peace, the stones beside the road would immediately cry out.

Our Savior serves as our defense attorney, and remarkably, He Himself was
Fruit Bearers
What does it truly mean to be a fruit bearer in our Christian walk? This teaching by Steve Hoese on Wednesday, July 15th 2026 draws us into Galatians 5:22-23, challenging us to examine whether our lives display the authentic evidence of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.

When The Shout Returns
On Sunday, July 12th, 2026, Pastor Matt Cottrill's message centers on Psalm 126, exploring the profound connection between remembrance and worship.

Rooted In The Wrong Places
This message by Assistant Pastor Dillon Meadway on Wednesday, July 8th 2026, draws us into a vivid illustration of two trees standing in vastly different conditions.

Chasing The Wind

Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All
This powerful message from Bishop Mark Cottrill on Sunday, June 28th 2026 takes us into one of the most dramatic moments in King David's life, found in 1 Samuel 30, where he returns home to find his city burned, his families captured, and his own men ready to stone him.

What Can You Give The Father Who Has Everything
On Father's Day, Sunday, June 21st, 2026, Pastor Matt Cottrill explores of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15 and challenges us to examine the direction our feet are taking us—toward God's house or toward a far country of compromise and spiritual distance.

Raising An Ebenezer
This message from Tony Fishel on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 centers on the concept of raising an 'Ebenezer' - a stone of remembrance that declares 'thus far the Lord has helped us.'

The teaching walks us through Isr

The Covenant of Peace
This message by Dylan Cottrill from Sunday, June 7th 2026 centers on God's unbreakable covenant of peace with His people, drawing from Isaiah 54:7-10 where God promises that His kindness will never depart from us.

Examining the Man in the Mirror
This message from Gene Smith on Wednesday, June 3rd 2026 challenges us to do something many of us avoid: look honestly in the mirror of God's Word and examine our hearts. Drawing from Psalm 139:23-24 and 2 Corinthians 13:5, we're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that while we're quick to judge others, we often fail to examine ourselves. The sermon uses the metaphor of a mirror throughout, r
Limping Into Victory
Bishop Mark Cottrill's message from Sunday, May 31st, 2026 centers on the transformative story of Jacob wrestling with an angel in Genesis 32, exploring how our struggles and wounds can become testimonies of victory rather than marks of defeat.

One Need
In this exploration of Luke 10:38-42 with Joe Lake from Wednesday May 27th 2026, we discover what it truly means to position ourselves at the feet of Jesus.

When Fire Finds a Vessel
This powerful message from Pastor Matt Cottrill on Pentecost Sunday, May 24th 2026, takes us into the heart of Pentecost, reminding us that God's desire has always been more than just dwelling with us or among us—He wants to dwell within us.

A Call To Faith
Tony Schuh's message from Wednesday, May 13th 2026 confronts us with a sobering question: when Christ returns, will He find faith on the earth? Starting with the Tower of Babel, we're reminded that humanity's oldest temptation is to meet God on our own terms rather than His. Those ancient builders didn't want to escape a flood—they wanted to avoid being scattered, directly disobeying God's command

The core revelation here is prof
Mercy Rescued Me, Grave Rebuilt Me
On Wednesday, April 29th 2026 Pastor Matt Cottrill's teaching draws a crucial distinction between two of God's most profound attributes: mercy and grace. While we often use these terms interchangeably, they represent distinct yet inseparable works in our spiritual journey.

Grasshoppers Don't Eat Grapes
On Wednesday, April 15th 2026, Tony Fishel takes us deep into Numbers 13, where twelve spies were sent to scout the Promised Land. While all twelve saw the same incredible blessings—grapes so large it took two men to carry them, land flowing with milk and honey—only two came back with faith.

What To Do When You Are Surrounded By a Bunch of Bull

The teaching unveils
The Resurrection Changes Everything
On Sunday, April 5th 2026, Pastor Matt Cottrill's message takes us beyond the familiar Easter story to confront the weight of what actually happened at Calvary and the empty tomb. We're reminded that Jesus didn't die for some anonymous crowd of sinners; He saw each of us individually, carrying our specific failures, shame, and rebellion as He hung on that cross. The cross reveals both the ugliness
