Tune in to hear our weekly sermons from Sunday Morning as well as deep dive sessions hosted by our Pastor, John Venable, that will go in depth on certain points made from Sunday's sermons.
Ever feel like you're trying to navigate life in the dark?In this message, we explore what Jesus meant when He said, “I am the Light of the world.” From confusion to clarity, from blindness to sight—this isn't just a metaphor…it's a transformation.You don't have to have all the answers to follow Jesus—but when you do, everything starts to change.
You're not just hungry…you're starving for something more.In John 6, Jesus exposes why we stay empty—and shows us what actually satisfies.
When life feels over, Jesus still has one more move. In John 11, Jesus steps into a situation that looks completely dead—and proves that He still brings life where there is none.If you've been waiting, wondering, or losing hope—don't stop now.
Missions Sunday with Aaron Epps of the International Mission Board
The final words of the Bible aren't just information—they're an invitation.In Revelation 22, Jesus makes one last promise: “I am coming soon.”The question is—are you ready?This message will challenge you to stop drifting, start living ready, and respond to God's invitation today.Come to Jesus. And don't come alone.
Most people don't start thinking seriously about life…until they're standing at a funeral.We spend our lives chasing pleasure, success, and recognition—only to realize it never satisfies. In Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon reminds us that wisdom grows in hard places, character matters more than charisma, and the wise learn to live with eternity in view.
This world still works…but it's not the way it's supposed to be. Revelation 21 gives us a glimpse of the future God has prepared—a renewed world, restored relationship with Him, and the end of pain, death, and sorrow. Discover why heaven isn't just about a perfect place, but about being with the perfect Person.
How will the story actually end?In Revelation 20, God pulls back the curtain on the final defeat of evil, the coming judgment, and the Book of Life. This message walks through Satan's defeat, Christ's reign, and the Great White Throne to answer the most important question you will ever face: not how successful or moral you were, but whether your name is written in the Book of Life.Because one day, nothing about you will matter except this: does Jesus know your name?
Revelation 19 gives us the ending before we finish the story. We see Jesus return not as the suffering Savior, but as the reigning King to finish the victory He already secured at the cross. We will face trouble, but if we know Jesus wins in the end, we don't have to live defeated today. Keep your forks; the best is yet to come!
One great danger for many believers today isn't the persecution of our faith, but the preoccupation with everything else. Revelation 17–18 explores the distraction that consumes the world and the distinction God calls His people to live. Jesus doesn't call us to run from the world, but to come out spiritually so we can reach it missionally!
God's goal is not to scare you — it's to save you.In Revelation 15–16 we discover a hopeful truth: Jesus already took the cup of wrath on the cross so you wouldn't have to face it. The invitation is simple: you don't clean yourself up first — you come to Him, turn from what can't save you, and trust the One who can.You're not too far gone. You're not too late. Today can be the day you come home.
Everyone is following something. But not everyone considers where it leads.In Revelation 14, God reveals the coming harvest and calls us to fear Him, give Him glory, and follow the Lamb.Who you follow today determines the destiny you face tomorrow.
The victory of Christ doesn't remove the war—but it does guarantee the win.Revelation 12–13 reveals the unseen battle behind the scenes of our everyday lives. In this message, we're reminded that the enemy may still fight, but his defeat is already settled through the cross of Jesus.We'll explore how believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb, live boldly through the power of their testimony, and stand confidently in eternal life, even in a world full of pressure and counterfeit power.
The wait is never wasted when Jesus is still working.If you're tired of waiting… discouraged by delay… or wondering if God is doing anything at all—this message is for you. Revelation 10–11 reminds us that Jesus is still standing, still speaking, and still in control.
What does it really mean to follow God when obedience doesn't make sense yet? In this episode, we step into David's final charge to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:9–10 and uncover why knowing God must always come before doing for God. We talk about undivided hearts, wholehearted devotion, and why purity gives God permission to work freely in our lives. If you've ever wrestled with delayed obedience, divided affections, or uncertainty about God's calling, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to be strong—and do what God has asked.
Join Dr. Marcus Brown as we wrap up our Believe series out of the gospel of Luke.
What is Christmas really about—and where does true joy come from?In Luke 2, God announces the birth of Jesus not with a command, but with good news of great joy for all people. This message reminds us that joy doesn't arrive when our problems disappear, but when Jesus shows up.If life feels heavy this season, remember: Jesus is here.
In Luke 1, after centuries of silence, two ordinary people—a young woman named Mary and an elderly priest named Zechariah—respond to God's work not with fear or explanation, but with praise. If God feels silent in your waiting, this message will remind you He's still working. Listen and discover how praise rises and hope returns when Jesus enters the story.
God often disrupts our plans to unfold His purpose. Mary's story in Luke 1:26–38 shows us that God's interruptions are really God's invitations. Learn how to recognize God's hand in the unexpected, how to respond with faith, and how your simple surrender can unlock God's supernatural work in your life.
God may feel quiet, but He is never absent. Luke 1:5–25 reveals how God breaks silence with salvation—and how Jesus becomes the center of our story.If you need hope today, this message is for you!
Sometimes God whispers. Sometimes God nudges. But in Revelation 8-9…God sounds the trumpet.This message walks through one of the most intense chapters in the Bible—where spiritual warfare becomes physical and God uses judgment as a final call for people to turn back to Him.If life has been shaking you, this message will encourage you to listen for God's voice and run toward His mercy.
Life can rattle your peace, but it can never remove God's promises. This message walks through the Four Horsemen, the Tribulation, the 144,000 witnesses, and the greatest revival in history. Discover how God protects, seals, and saves—even when the world is falling apart.
When John wept because no one was worthy to open the scroll, Heaven revealed the Lamb who conquered sin, death, and the grave. The story of Revelation 5 is the story of our salvation — the Lion who became a Lamb so we could be redeemed.Join us as we remind ourselves this truth: what looks hopeless on Earth has already been handled in Heaven.
In Revelation 4, John is lifted from the chaos of earth into the calm of Heaven — and what he sees changes everything. Before the thunder, the trials, and the tribulation of Revelation unfold, God gives John a breathtaking vision of His throne.Why? Because what's happening around the throne in Heaven is meant to happen within our hearts on earth.
Jesus refuses to be a guest in the heart He died to govern.In this message from Revelation 3, Jesus calls the church out of comfort and into wholehearted surrender. It's time to open the door, rekindle the flame, and let Jesus take His rightful place.
“Every open door we walk through hinges on the open tomb Jesus walked out of.”That door you're staring at?
You can't fake spiritual life. In Revelation 3, Jesus calls His church to wake up and return to what's real. Join us as we walk through what it means to move from spiritual activity to supernatural authenticity and experience true spiritual renewal.
When the church compromises, conviction fades. In Revelation 2, Jesus unpacks a sobering warning to Pergamum and Thyatira—that what we excuse, He exposes. Discover how Jesus calls His church to resist compromise, reject tolerance, and return to holiness.
In Revelation 2:1–11, Jesus delivers powerful words to two churches—Ephesus and Smyrna. One was doctrinally sound, yet their love for Christ was devotionally stale. The other was pressed down by suffering, yet remained rich in faith. In this message, we unpack what Jesus commends, what He confronts, and how we can respond with renewed devotion and fearless endurance.Discover why it's possible to be busy for Jesus yet far from Him, how to return to your first love, and why no trial can take your crown when Christ is your first love and final hope.
In this special Revival Sunday episode, evangelist Jeff Garner shares the message that reminds us of God's saving power at work right now. Tune in to hear the call of God and lean into what He wants to do in your life right now.
Exiled on Patmos, John receives an unforgettable vision of Jesus unlike anything he had ever seen before. In Revelation 1:9–20, the curtain is pulled back, and the risen Christ is revealed in His majesty and might.When John falls at His feet in fear, Jesus places His hand on him and says, “Do not be afraid.” The same King who reigns in glory is the King who rules our story—holding history, conquering death, and walking with His people today.
What happens when God is more generous than we think He should be? In Jonah 4, the prophet pouts while God pours out compassion. Jonah cared more about a plant than an entire city of people, and his sense of entitlement blinded him to God's mission.But here's the truth: God's infinite love for your salvation is greater than His immeasurable hatred for your sin.God loved the Nineveh in us. Now we are called to love the Nineveh in others.
God doesn't just save us to sit in church. He saves us to leverage our lives for His mission.Jonah ran, but through one surrendered YES: an entire city was changed. When you surrender your life to God's call: He can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime.You don't need a stage to live a significant life. If you're a follower of Jesus, your obedience is often the bridge to someone else's breakthrough!
Jonah hit rock bottom...but that's where God showed up.Rock bottom can become a runway for God's rescue.The belly of despair can become the birthplace of deliverance.The pit you dread may be the platform for God's purpose.Because even when you're down to nothing, God is still up to something.
The purpose you pursue will determine the peace you possess. Don't wait for “someday” to start living fully and following God faithfully. In the prime of life — enjoy His gifts, chase godly passions, and live with big faith. And in every season — remember your Creator and fear God with faith. Life is short—live fully for God now so you can finish well later!
It's the little cracks that cause the big collapse.Ecclesiastes 10 says that's how foolishness works—small leaks sink big ships.This message challenges us to: Guard your words. Watch your heart. Fix the little things before they wreck the big things.
This week we faced a hard but holy truth: death is coming for all of us—but it doesn't have to cancel out our purpose.
Life doesn't always make sense. How do you trust God when life feels unfair and the world seems upside down? In this message, we looked at how Scripture calls us to honor authority even when it's hard, and trust God's plan even when it's hidden. Not because life is fair, but because God is faithful.
The Misery of MoreEcclesiastes 5:10–20 | John VenableYou can be surrounded by wealth and still be bankrupt in meaning.This message digs into two major truths from Ecclesiastes:The Trap of Chasing PleasureThe Gift of God-Given GladnessSolomon's wisdom reminds us that possessions can't fill the soul—and that real joy is a gift only God can give.Key Takeaway: Life that lasts isn't found in luxury but in the Lord.Listen in and find freedom from the grind of more.
Worship isn't about length or volume—it's about posture. In “Worthy Worship” Ecclesiastes 5, Pastor John shows why reverence wins over routine and fear beats familiarity. Lower your heart; deepen your worship.
A Mountain of Faith (Genesis 22:1–14)This Father's Day message challenges men to lead with obedience, perseverance, and surrender—like Abraham, who climbed the mountain trusting God would provide. Faith doesn't wait. It climbs.
Missed Sunday's message? Catch “God Works in Time” (Ecclesiastes 3) now! See how God's RHYTHM (vv. 1-10) and sovereign REASON (vv. 11-18) turn every earthly moment into eternal meaning. Remember: If it isn't GOOD, God isn't DONE.
Are you chasing significance in the daily grind—only to feel empty when the next day comes?
In “Freedom: Dying to Live,” John Venable digs into Romans 8:1–11 to expose why rules alone leave us empty—and how real freedom emerges when Jesus provides the blueprint and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live it. Tune in for a no-nonsense look at dying to self and living by Spirit-driven power.
