Opendoor Church

From the beginning, God designed marriage as a union where man and woman cleave to one another and live without shame. But when sin entered the garden, trust was broken, blame replaced responsibility, and hiding replaced intimacy. Satan's first attack was against the mind, sowing doubt and insecurity, but God's design has always been for trust and oneness. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy reminds us to examine what we are clinging to, our own way or God's Word, and to return to the unity and purpose He intended.

Marriage is one of God's first creations, a profound mystery that reflects Christ and the Church. While culture often treats it casually, with high divorce rates and shifting views, God calls us to honor marriage as His design for unity, love, and covenant. Great marriages don't just happen; they take intentional work, mutual submission, and reliance on God's grace. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler reminds us not to settle for good when God has called us to great, and shows us how every believer, married or single, can value and uphold God's vision for marriage.

The blood of Jesus is the foundation of our salvation: redeeming, healing, rescuing, setting us free, and forgiving us completely. Through His sacrifice, God not only removes our sin but also restores us to life, wholeness, and freedom in Him. Communion reminds us to lay down shame and receive the forgiveness and grace Jesus so freely offers. In this message, Pastor Miriam Wamer invites us to take and drink, embracing the fullness of life found only in Christ.

The blood of Jesus is more than a symbol. It is the very means of our redemption, forgiveness, justification, and sanctification. Unlike the old sacrifices, His blood secures eternal salvation, cleansing our consciences and granting us bold access to the Father. Through the cross, we are healed, protected, and set free, not by our works but by His grace. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy invites us to marvel at the wonder-working power of the blood that still redeems and transforms today.

Communion points us back to the cross, the “second tree” where Christ made right what was lost in the first. Through His body and blood, Jesus carried our sins and made healing available: spiritual, physical, and emotional. Yet Paul warns the Corinthians that Communion is not a ritual to check off but a checkpoint for the heart, calling us to examine our worship and conduct. In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins reminds us that true Communion realigns our lives with Christ, renews our unity with one another, and restores our focus on the One who gave Himself for us.

Communion with God is more than an act of ritual. It is an invitation to a lifestyle of intimacy, dependence, and remembrance. The imagery of bread and wine shows us how easily we fill our lives with culture, work, and even good things, while neglecting the true fulfillment that only comes from remaining in Christ. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how the practice of Communion reminds us to reorder our priorities, abide in Christ, and find lasting fulfillment in His presence, an invitation that can transform every part of our lives.

Communion was never meant to be common. It was always meant to be communal. In a world divided by politics, culture, and pride, the table of Jesus calls believers into unity. The Lord's Supper is not just a personal act of remembrance, but a communal practice that proclaims the Gospel and reflects God's heart for unity. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler unpacks Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians, reminding us that Communion is both a tangible expression of the Gospel and a call to discern the body of Christ rightly, by cultivating unity and welcoming all to the table.

True restoration doesn't come through our own efforts but through the power of God's Spirit. When we try to rebuild in our own strength, we burn out and fall short. But when we allow God to guide the process, He brings lasting change and renewal. In this message, Pastor John Conway shares how to rebuild God's way.

When the exiles returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the temple, they expected the glorious promises of the prophets to come quickly, but instead, disappointment set in. Over time, their devotion cooled, their worship became routine, and they began offering God only their leftovers. Through the prophet Malachi, God confronts their casual faith, their misplaced priorities, and their growing disillusionment with His timing. In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins shares how to return to wholehearted worship, align our relationships and priorities with God's will, and trust His perfect timing even when the wait feels long.

As we step into seasons of rebuilding, whether in our lives, our families, or our faith, it's easy to focus on our own strength, skills, and plans. But the truth is, lasting restoration comes only through the power of God's Spirit.In this message, Elder Elliotte Pearson shares how we can rely on God's Spirit, not our own might or power, to rebuild what's broken and step boldly into the future He's calling us to.

After years in exile, Israel had returned home, but their hearts still needed to be rebuilt. Through the prophet Zechariah, God called His people to return to Him, rebuild His temple, and trust His Spirit to accomplish the work—“not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit." Every step of obedience, no matter how small, matters in God's Kingdom. In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins shares how that same call to return, rebuild, and rely on the Spirit applies to our lives today.

In Scripture, Zephaniah's warnings of judgment against those who rejected God's authority show how their downfall was the result of aligning with lesser powers. Yet amidst the doom and gloom, Zephaniah offers a message of hope, one rooted in God's promise to restore, redeem, and reign once again as the true King. In this message, Pastor Scott Conner shares how only when we remove false rulers from the throne of our hearts and return to the rightful King, Jesus, can we experience true restoration, peace, and purpose.
