Episodes
Temptation | The Elephant In The Room
Temptation has a way of making sin look appealing while hiding the consequences. And the more confident we become in our ability to resist it, the more vulnerable we may be to falling. Join Keith Waggoner in 1st Corinthians 10 as he addresses how temptation works and how, through God’s strength and the support of others, we can stand firm and overcome.
My “Rights” | The Elephant In The Room
We all have rights, preferences, and freedoms, but what happens when exercising them gets in the way of loving others? As Paul addresses the church in Corinth, he reminds us that following Jesus is a team sport—one where love matters more than being right. Open to 1st Corinthians 8 as Trey Waggoner challenges us to lay down our rights in love for the sake of our brothers and sisters and the gospel
Relationships | The Elephant In The Room
Relationships are complicated, and we often put an incredible amount of weight on our relationship status. But marriage, singleness, divorce, and every season in between were never meant to define us. Open to 1st Corinthians 7 as Pr. Keith shares Paul’s perspective on relationships and reminds us that our identity must be found in Christ.
Call It What It Is | The Elephant In The Room
We live in a world that is really good at renaming things. We don’t lie; we stretch the truth. We don’t gossip; we’re just sharing a concern. We’re not losing our temper; we’re venting. But changing the label doesn’t change what’s underneath. Open to 1st Corinthians 5 as Pr. Keith challenges us to stop renaming sin and allow Christ’s transformation to redefine our lives.
Church Problems | The Elephant In The Room
Churches are made up of imperfect people, which means church can sometimes be disappointing, frustrating, hurtful, and messy. All this can make walking away feel easier than working toward unity. Join Pr. Matt Ritchey as he continues The Elephant in the Room series and explores how to respond and pursue resolution when a church gets messy.
Who Gets To Decide Truth? | The Elephant In The Room
In a world where truth is shaped by feelings, culture, and personal preference, God’s wisdom often looks very different from the world’s. Open to 1st Corinthians 1 as Pr. Keith kicks off a new series, The Elephant in the Room, and challenges us to stop judging God’s truth by the world’s standards and learn to see reality through the eyes of Christ.
Jesus Is Coming Again | If I Had One Message
The disciples had been through emotional whiplash. Jesus was crucified. They thought it was over. Then He rose. Turn to Acts 1 as Keith Waggoner closes out the If I Had One Message series by looking at the days following the resurrection and how the promise of Jesus coming again changes everything.
Live Eternally | If I Had One Message
How is your life aimed at eternity? Are you working for a temporary result? God can take what seems ordinary and use it for eternity, but it takes someone willing to submit to His way. Join Pr Matt as he continues the If I Had One Message series and presents the challenge to allow Heaven, not the moment, forge your life.
The Love Of Jesus Moves You | If I Had One Message
In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul reminds the church at Corinth what it means to live as a Christian in light of eternity—not only how to live, but why. Christ’s love was never meant simply to comfort you. It was meant to move you. Join Pr. Roe as he breaks down how Christ’s love changes the way you think, your motives, the way you see people, and ultimately what you do.
The Beauty Of God Revealed In Christ | If I Had One Message
We live in a culture obsessed with beauty. Yet, no matter how much beauty we surround ourselves with, the human heart remains restless because worldly beauty is only temporary and was never meant to satisfy the deepest longing of the soul. Turn to John 1 as Lester Villatoro shares how true beauty is revealed in Jesus and why the invitation is not simply to learn about or admire Him, but to behold
Being a Child of God | If I Had One Message
Being a child of God is not just an emotional or religious title; it is a profound spiritual reality that transforms the believer's identity, purpose, and way of life. However, this incredible privilege also comes with responsibilities. Join Pastor Edgar Nunez as he breaks this down and launches a new sermon series titled If I Had One Message.
The Life God Grows | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
Walking by the Spirit and abiding in Christ aren’t identical phrases, but they describe the same Spirit-empowered life from two complementary angles. Turn to John 15 with Keith Waggoner as he concludes the Summer Series and breaks down how these concepts relate and bring about the growth God desires in every believer.
Questions | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
The Spirit’s conviction is not evidence that God has rejected you. It is evidence that God is still working in you. The Spirit does not convict you to crush you. He convicts you to restore you, to grow you, to lead you into the blessed life that Jesus promised. Rejoin Pr. Keith in Galatians 5 and Ephesians 5, as he addresses the pressing questions introduced last week.
Under The Influence | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
What is influencing your desires, your decisions, your words, your reactions, your relationships, and your obedience? Paul says, “Walk by the Spirit.” He says, “Be filled with the Spirit.” Let the Spirit of God become the One who shapes what comes out of you before it ever comes out of you. Whatever fills you will eventually form you. Follow along as Keith Waggoner looks at what it means to be fil
God With Us, God In Us | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
Before Jesus went to the cross, He promised His disciples they would not be left alone. The Holy Spirit would come to dwell with them and in them. Our hope for change is not found in trying harder, pretending better, or becoming more disciplined by sheer willpower. Join Matt Ritchey in discovering the hope that lives with us and in us!
The War Within | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
The flesh may still pull, but it no longer has to lead. You belong to Jesus. His Spirit lives within you. He will lead you into a life you could never produce on your own. Join Keith Waggoner in Galatians 5, looking at the internal battle between the flesh and the Spirit.
Free To Love | Grace Summer Series: More To This Life
Christ has set us free. We do not have to stay trapped in guilt, shame, performance, legalism, selfishness, or the flesh. But knowing we are free is not the same as living free.
Kept by the King | Jude: The Battle For Truth
Rest in the King who can cleanse you, keep you, complete you, and bring you home with joy! Trust Him. Fight sin with hope. Contend for the faith with confidence. And worship the King who is able.
Built To Last | Jude: The Battle For Truth
You are called to become the real thing. Not knock-off Christianity or something that only looks real for a while. No, you and I have been called to a faith that lasts. Follow along in Jude 1 as Keith Waggoner addresses this passage’s call on Christians and the steps to becoming a built-to-last believer.
The Threat From Within | Jude: The Battle For Truth
We live in a world full of spiritual voices, and not every voice that uses Christian words is leading people to Christ. Jude isn’t inviting us to become suspicious people. He is calling us to become faithful people. People who know the gospel, love the truth, recognize distortion, and contend for the faith. Join Keith Waggoner in Jude as he kicks off a new series titled "The Battle For Truth."
Real Life Situations | Clarity
Every choice has consequences, good and/or bad. However, our free will won't hinder God's sovereign will. When facing decisions, the process is clear: saturate yourself in Scripture, seek godly counsel, examine your motives, and choose what most honors God. Follow along in Colossians 1 and Ephesians 5 as Matt Ritchey shares how seeking wisdom allows us to walk God’s way through day-to-day situatio
Wisdom For Parents | Clarity
God’s will for parents is not hidden; it’s deeply relational and intentional. You are called to impress truth on your children, not just instruct them occasionally. Parenting wisely isn’t about controlling outcomes; it’s about faithfully planting truth, modeling faith, and trusting God with the results. Join Matt Ritchey in Deuteronomy 6 as he speaks on parents' role in discipling their children.
Pursue Wisdom (Not Signs) | Clarity
God isn’t trying to control every decision you make. He’s trying to shape the kind of person who makes good decisions. He grows us in wisdom. Turn to Proverbs 2 as Keith Waggoner teaches on wisdom’s connection to our relationship with God.
How God Speaks | Clarity
Every relationship begins when someone moves first. And when it comes to knowing God, it’s never us. It’s always Him. From the beginning, God has been the one initiating. The Bible doesn’t begin with a silent God, but a speaking God. Join Keith Waggoner in Hebrews 1 as he points to the primary way that God speaks.
Seek The Kingdom | Clarity
You don’t have to worry about being in God’s will when you pursue His Kingdom, obey His Word, and live for His glory. When your priorities change, peace begins to follow. God’s peace goes hand in hand with embracing God’s priorities! Turn to Matthew 6 as Keith Waggoner dives deeper into what it means to know and follow the will of God.
What Are We Even Talking About? | Clarity
There’s a lot of confusion when it comes to the will of God. And for many people, it creates a quiet fear: What if I miss it? What if one wrong decision changes everything? Join Keith Waggoner in kicking off Clarity, a new series centered on learning how to trust God’s sovereignty, follow His Word, and make decisions without fear.
Finished ... But Not The Way You Think | Keith Waggoner
What if Jesus’s final words on the cross weren’t words of defeat, but words of accomplishment? What if “It is finished” didn’t mean it was over, but that everything necessary had just been completed? Join Keith Waggoner on this Easter Sunday as he concludes the Last Words series and celebrates the resurrection of our Savior.
I'm All Yours | Keith Waggoner
The question underneath this entire passage is: Do I trust Him? Can I trust God enough to go with Him even when I don’t understand where He’s leading? Can you trust Him enough to say, “Father, I’m all yours.” Join Keith Waggoner in Luke 23 as he looks at the significance of Christ’s last words on the cross.
Why Have You Forsaken Me? | Last Words
The Cross is the turning point of history. Jesus faced our deepest fears alone so we could be near to God. In perfect obedience, He did for us what we could not do and satisfied the payment for sin. Turn to Matthew 27 as Matt Ritchey continues the Last Words series.
The Unfairness of Grace | Last Words
Final words matter. They reveal what is ultimate. And the final words of Christ are not gasps of defeat; they are declarations of victory. Join Matt Ritchey in Luke 23, as he introduces a new series titled "Last Words."
Suit Up | Walk This Way
When it comes to spiritual warfare, people normally either obsess over demons or deny the battle exists at all. Scripture reminds us that an unseen spiritual battle is real, whether we recognize it or not. Please turn to Ephesians 6 as Pr. Keith addresses Paul’s call to believers to be ready and suit up.
Where The Rubber Meets The Road | Walk This Way
The gospel doesn’t just change what we believe; it changes how we live together. Your marriage is telling a story. What story is it telling? Join Keith Waggoner in Ephesians 5 as he breaks down the key components of a faithful marriage.
Family Resemblance | Walk This Way
In Ephesians 4, Paul challenged believers to live a life worthy of the calling revealed in the first three chapters. He continues in chapter 5 by filling in the picture and urging Christians to imitate Christ in every part of their walk. Join Pr. Keith as he unpacks the steps to grow into a true resemblance of the Father.
Walk A New Way | Walk This Way
For us to walk differently, we must identify what no longer fits. Do an honest assessment: what in your life doesn’t match Christ? Here’s the deal: you can’t put on the new while you’re still holding on to the old. Join Pastor Keith in Ephesians 4 for this message in the Walk This Way series.
Live It Out | Walk This Way
The question is not whether God wants to use you. The question is whether you’re willing. You don’t have to do everything, but you are called to do something. Turn to Ephesians 4 with Keith Waggoner as he addresses the calling on every Christian’s life.
Access Through Christ | Walk This Way
The abundant life — the fullness of God — is the promise of the Gospel. In Christ, you receive true riches, not what the world offers, but what God supplies through His Spirit. Open to Ephesians 3 as Matt Ritchey brings the next message from the Walk This Way series.
One In Christ | Walk This Way
Because of Jesus, we have access to one God, we belong to one family, and we are being built into one dwelling place. Join Keith Waggoner in Ephesians 2, looking at the unity and peace found in Christ.
Blessed In Christ | Walk This Way
The question is not whether labels exist. The question is, which voice will you believe? Will you live under the labels that were spoken over you or under the identity God has spoken for you? Please join Pr. Keith in Ephesians 1 in this message from the Walk This Way series.
By Grace Through Faith | Walk This Way
The question today isn’t, “Have you tried hard enough?” Or “Have you maintained a perfect report card?” The question is simply this: Are you resting in what Christ has already done? Follow along in Ephesians 2 as Pastor Keith shares four truths we must understand about salvation.
A Prayer for the New Year | Walk This Way
Spiritual growth doesn’t begin with trying harder; it starts with seeing more clearly. That’s why Paul opens his letter to the Ephesians with a prayer. Not that God would change their circumstances, but that God would open their eyes. Join Pr Keith in Ephesians 1 for a new series titled, Walk This Way.
A Legacy That Lasts | Trey Waggoner
As we approach the New Year, there is one resolution that can leave a lasting imprint on not just this year, but a lifetime. No matter your title, you have the opportunity to listen, reflect on what God has done, and obey his calling. If you resolve to live out your faith, you have the potential to leave a legacy that lasts. Join Trey Waggoner as he shares from Psalm 78.
Christmas Light | The Light
A person who has received Christ has literally received the Light. However, we aren’t just receivers of Light, we’re also carriers of Light. Christmas is not just about Light coming to us; it’s about Light now shining through us. Join Keith Waggoner in John 1 as he concludes this sermon series.
Light Brings Clarity | The Light
Walking in the light means living truthfully and without secrets, knowing we have nothing to hide. The light reveals that past sins are not scars of shame but of victory. It is only through living in the power and presence of God and His light that we can have freedom and clarity. Pr. Matt Ritchey continues The Light series with this sermon from John 1, 1st John 1, and Romans 13.
Light Brings Life | The Light
Just as light depends on energy, our own “light”— our ability to act, love, create, and influence positively — depends on being connected to something sustaining. The light of Christ offers life and restoration, allowing us to become a reflection of His light to the world. Join Pr. Matt Ritchey, as he explores what is meant by the metaphor “The Light has come.”
Christmas Light | The Light
You don’t have to return to darkness. You can experience God’s presence, His protection, and His direction. The Light has come and is here! This is the Light of Christmas! Join Pr. Keith Waggoner in John 1 as he lays the foundation for a new series titled The Light.
Thanksgiving Celebration | I'd Like To Testify
Jesus doesn’t just save people from their past; He sends them into their future with a story to tell. We are carriers of a story. We have the ministry of reconciliation. What Jesus did for me, he can do for you! Please join Pr. Keith in John 4, looking at the elements of a Thanksgiving testimony and concluding the special sharing of Thanksgiving stories.
Seat At The Table | I'd Like To Testify
The enemy wants you to believe that you’re identified by scars. You are, but it’s not your scars. You are defined by the scars of Jesus. Scars that He has so you and I can have a seat at His table. Please turn to 2nd Samuel 9 for this week's message.
The Progression of a Testimony | I'd Like To Testify
In John 9, Jesus heals a blind man. Further, this passage shows him learning how to articulate what Jesus has done in his life. It reminds us that grace isn’t meant to be kept quiet, but shared. When the light of Jesus opens your eyes, it’s not just for you to see; it’s so others can see Him through you. Join Keith Waggoner as he presents the second sermon in the I'd Like To Testify series.
Testifying Power | I'd Like To Testify
Your testimony is not just personal; it’s powerful. It’s one of the greatest weapons God has given you against the enemy. The saints in Revelation didn’t overcome through strength or status, but by the blood of the lamb, the word of their testimony, and a surrendered life. Join Lester Villatoro in Revelation 12 as he introduces a new sermon series.
Commissioned | For Our City, For Our World
Jesus’s final words to His disciples were not a suggestion, but a command backed by His authority and His presence. The Great Commission is not for someone else; it’s for all of us. Join Pr. Matt Ritchey in Matthew 28, calling the church to boldness, confident that the One who calls us also goes with us.
For Our City | For Our City, For Our World
Jeremiah 29 was written to exiles, people far from home, living in Babylon. When God placed His people in exile, He told them to seek the peace and prosperity of the city where He sent them. If God called his people to seek the peace of the most wicked city of its time, why wouldn’t He call us to do the same thing for our city?
Here, There, and Everywhere | For Our City, For Our World
Throughout each generation, a danger for the church is to cease being a movement of people on mission and become an organization solely focused on providing programming to religious people. That’s not at all what things looked like when the Church was launched. Join Pr. Keith in Acts 1 as he continues For Our City, For Our World.
Declare His Glory | For Our City, For Our World
Please join guest speaker, Saji Lukos, as he concludes the 2025 missions conference and kicks off a new series titled: For Our City, For Our World. He will be speaking from Psalm 96, looking at reasons to proclaim God's greatness among the nations.
Unstoppable Faith | Unfiltered Faith
Our faith is unstoppable, not because of us, but because it’s grounded in the victory of Jesus. John is closing his letter with rock-solid certainty: as children of God, we can live confident that we belong to Him, that our prayers are heard, and that nothing can separate us from His love. Join Pr. Keith Waggoner in the conclusion of the Unfiltered Faith.
Know God, No Fear | Unfiltered Faith
When we truly know God — the source of all love — fear loses its grip on our hearts. God’s love secures us, assures us, and calls us to extend that same love to others. We are no longer bound by fear of judgment or failure, because His love has been made complete in us through Christ. Join Pr. Matt Ritchey for this week's sermon from 1st John 4.
A Prayer for our Nation | Confidence and Hope | Unfiltered Faith
True faith begins with the wonder of God’s love, that we are called His children, and that identity leads to faithful obedience. God’s children live with a hope that changes us now and secures us forever. Join Pr. Keith as he speaks on hope and the changes we experience when abiding in Christ.
Two Warnings | Unfiltered Faith
As we continue in 1st John 2, John puts up two big spiritual warning signs for us. The question is: will we take God’s warnings seriously, or will we brush up against them just to see if He really means it? Please join Pr. Keith as he addresses these warnings.
Things To Remember | Unfiltered Faith
Sanctification is an increasing separation from sin that happens as you move more into spiritual maturity, increasingly becoming like Jesus Christ. Please join Pastor Keith in 1st John 2, where he will break down the stages of faith and share advice for each step of the journey.
How We Love | Unfiltered Faith
Love isn’t just a new command, it’s the heartbeat of God’s people. In fact, John is going to show us that love isn’t optional or theoretical; it’s how God’s truth shows up in our lives and how we assure our hearts before Him. The question isn’t if we should love, but how — with action, generosity, and truth.
Living Proof | Unfiltered Faith
This profound truth is what allows us to not wallow in our failure, but to get up and keep moving forward in obedience. Not because we have to earn back His favor, but because we already have it through Jesus Christ. We obey because we love Him. And this obedience produces a fruit-bearing assurance. We’re not just safe; we’re changed and even our lives bear evidence of this transformation.
I Know That I Know | Unfiltered Faith
1st John 1 points out that the blood of Jesus has a past, present, and future power. We can know for a fact that our past is past, thanks to the blood of Jesus. We are forgiven! “What if I sin?” Confess it. As we confess, we are cleansed. Join Pastor Keith as he further explores this passage.
Joyful Certainty | Unfiltered Faith
We’re going to see that there is a difference between walking in darkness, living in habitual, rebellious sin, and sinful acts. We’re also going to see that for every believer who thinks that they’re marked by failure, there is good news. Please turn to 1st John as Pr. Keith Waggoner kicks off a new sermon series.
Daring to Pray | Dare to Be
Join Pr. Roe Dudley in Daniel 6 as he looks at the power, perspective, and posture of prayer.
The Message On The Wall | Dare to Be
This sermon from Daniel 5 presents the question: Do you live with a sense of eternal urgency or earthly complacency? Please join Pr. Edgar Nunez as he continues the Dare to Be series.
The Enemy Inside You | Dare to Be
As we jump into Daniel 4, it's important to note something unique: this is the only chapter in the Bible written by a pagan king. It’s King Nebuchadnezzar’s personal account of how Yahweh intervened in his life, humbling Nebuchadnezzar before God brought about transformation and restoration.
Worth Dying For | Dare to Be
It’s been said every person has a price — that given the right offer, the right pressure, or the right threat, even the strongest convictions can crumble. Maybe it’s wealth. Maybe it’s acceptance. Maybe it’s safety. Today we meet three men who showed Babylon — and us — that some convictions aren’t for sale at any price.
Whose Kingdom? | Dare to Be
Jesus Christ is the stone the builders rejected, but he has now become the cornerstone for a whole new world. If you understand Jesus in those ways, you can live a life like Daniel. Dare to be a Daniel, a real Daniel. Not the self-made, self-reliant person that we strive to be, but the God-saved, God-reliant person Jesus died to make us be.
Preparing for the Test | Dare to Be
The example of Daniel teaches us to not blame God for our pain but to run to Him in faith in the midst of it. We are living in Babylon, this world, in the midst of an invisible system that is opposed to God. What should be our response?
Pick a Side | Dare to Be
Join Pastor Keith as he lays the foundation for a new series in Daniel and establishes a key theme of defying the world, just as Daniel defied Babylon. Daniel’s story in Babylon begins with an early resolution: I’m not going to defile myself. Dare to be a Daniel!
The One About Hell | Moral of the Story
The parable we are about to examine today is sobering. More than sobering, it is a wake-up call for people who are on the fast track toward eternal devastation. Please join Pastor Keith in Luke 16 as he wraps up the Moral of the Story series.
The One About The Prodigal | Moral of the Story
Here’s my message for prodigals and Pharisees: You can come home. You can come in. Come to your senses. Prodigals, look around at where you sin has taken you, what it’s taken from you. Pharisees, look at what your self-justification has done to you. The irritation, the hard heart, the critical spirit, the anger at sinners. You have a father who is not abusive, hard to please, or distant. You have
The One About The Good Neighbor | Moral of the Story
Being a good neighbor begins by coming into the kingdom yourself. The transformation of regeneration. But a citizen of the kingdom always has a calling. To speak the gospel, share it with words. To show the gospel, share it by being a merciful catalyst of change. Will you receive it? Will you do it? Will you be it?
The One About The Talents | Moral of the Story
Join Pastor Matt Ritchey for the fourth episode of the series Moral of the Story, looking at Matthew 25 and The Parable of the Talents.
The One About Being Ready | Moral of the Story
In Matthew 25, Jesus made it clear that His return would be obvious. However, he also made it clear that it will be unexpected. We are to be watching and waiting in eager anticipation. Are you ready?
The One About Forgiveness | Moral of the Story
Forgiveness is unnatural. And if you only deal with it at the surface level, then you’ll settle for an artificial forgiveness that isn’t real and is only temporary. Real forgiveness comes only from a changed heart.
The One About The Soil | Moral of the Story
Join Pastor Keith for the first episode in a new series titled "Moral of the Story," beginning with the parable in Matthew 13.
True or False | Easter Sunday | Best News Ever
Your story says that you’re in the middle of an impossible circumstance, but your Savior says that nothing is impossible with me. Your story says that you are dead, but your Savior says I came back to life and conquered death and specialize in bringing dead things to life. Don’t let you story define you, let the Savior define you. Because, as long as you look to your Savior there is always hope

Come and Die | Best News Ever
There are three reoccurring themes that show up in Mark: Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus come? How should we respond? You’re going to see these three themes in this week's passage, Mark 8, as we continue to focus on our response to who Jesus is and what He has done.
Come To Jesus | Best News Ever
