What does it really mean to live a holy life? Is it more about avoiding sin—or about actively doing good? In this message from Titus 2 and 3, we explore how grace doesn't just save us from something, but calls us toward something greater. Holiness is not about withdrawal or judgment, but about love in action. When grace reshapes our desires, we don't just say “no” to sin—we say “yes” to generosity, hospitality, and Spirit-led living. Discover how holiness becomes visible, compelling, and credible when we live engaged, purposeful lives that reflect God's heart.

What if the biggest threat to holiness isn't choosing the wrong path—but choosing the easy one?In this message from Hebrews 12, we explore how holiness is more than moral behavior—it's a Spirit-empowered pursuit that demands endurance, intention, and surrender. From the danger of bitterness to the compromise of impulse decisions, Scripture reveals the subtle ways we drift from holiness and how to return.Whether you're wrestling with bitterness, battling temptation, or just feeling spiritually numb, this message invites you to fix your eyes on Jesus and choose perseverance over convenience. Holiness isn't easy, but it's always worth it.

What does it really mean to be holy? In this message from Galatians 5, we explore how the Christian life is not about rule-keeping or rule-breaking—but about walking in step with the Spirit. Paul warns against two distortions of holiness: legalism (trying to earn God's favor) and license (abusing grace to justify sin). Both miss the point. True holiness isn't about perfection—it's about transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In a world obsessed with proving worth and chasing success, what if the reason we're exhausted isn't just because life is hard—but because we're trying to be someone God never asked us to be? What if we could live in acceptance? In this message from Set Apart, we explore 1 Corinthians 1 and the radical truth that God chooses what the world calls weak, foolish, and unimpressive to reveal His glory. You don't have to hustle to be holy. Real identity, belonging, and significance aren't achieved—they're received in Christ.

"God didn't just build us to start—He built us to finish well."What if the breakthrough you've been waiting for is on the other side of not giving up?In this powerful message from Week 3 of the Built For This series, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks how God strengthens us to endure, even when we feel tired, discouraged, or ready to quit. Anchored in Philippians 1:6 and Nehemiah 6 & 12, this sermon reminds us that the Gospel isn't just about a strong start—it's about a faithful finish.

In this powerful kickoff to our "Built For This" series, Pastor Jon Dupin explores how God uses seasons of loss, burnout, and disappointment not to break us, but to build us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1 and John 16:33, we're reminded that renewal begins in surrender, not strength, and that the Church is built to rise, not because of our efforts, but because of Jesus' victory.✅ Feeling stuck?✅ Facing delay, discouragement, or defeat?This message will help you see your season through God's eyes—and find hope to rebuild, starting now.

“In a world filled with pain and chaos, how can the resurrection of Jesus still be Good News?”In this powerful Easter message, Jon Dupin unpacks 1 Corinthians 15 and shows us why the resurrection isn't just a story from the past—it's the foundation of our hope today.If Jesus didn't rise, faith is empty, sin wins, and death is the end. But because He did rise, we have real hope, real power, and a promise that what's broken won't stay that way.Through honest storytelling and biblical truth, this message invites you to see resurrection not as an instant fix—but as the beginning of restoration in you and the world around you.

On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Jon Dupin delivers a powerful message about the arrival of King Jesus. Not with force, but in humility, riding on a donkey. Drawing from Zechariah 9 and Luke 19, this sermon challenges us to examine what's holding back our praise and proclamation.In a world where comfort, cynicism, and fear often keep our faith quiet, we are reminded that Jesus is worthy of public, passionate, and vocal worship. If even the stones would cry out, how much more should we?1. Learn why your voice matters2. Discover the courage to share your Jesus story3. Step into a life of bold worship and witness4. This week, let your praise be louder than your fear.

In this message from our Good News series, we wrestle with one of the most challenging truths of the Gospel: we were never meant to provide for ourselves.Drawing from Exodus 16 and John 6, we explore how Jesus redefines provision — not with temporary fixes or self-sufficiency, but with His own body and blood. In a culture obsessed with independence and personal strength, this message confronts the idols of pride, fear, and self-made success.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Matthew 25, Jesus paints a clear picture—true faith is revealed through compassionate action. The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats challenges us to move beyond empty religion and into a life marked by love, service, and sacrifice.At Waymaker.Church, we believe faith and action go hand in hand. In this message, we unpack how Jesus identifies His true Church—not by religious activity, but by a heart transformed to serve “the least of these.”Join us as we explore how compassionate action shapes us to see and become more like Jesus.

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul calls the church to unity, reminding believers of their identity in Christ and the power of God's love. In this message, we explore key themes from Ephesians—salvation by grace, the church as the body of Christ, and the call to live with holiness, love, and the full armor of God.But relationships within the body of Christ aren't always easy. We often struggle with idealization, impatience, and intolerance—expecting perfection, demanding immediate change, and rejecting differences. Paul challenges us in Ephesians 4:1-6 to pursue unity by embracing humility, patience, and love.A Jesus-centered community requires grace, acceptance, and deference, allowing the Spirit to transform our relationships. When we replace judgment with discernment and demands with humility, we reflect the love of Christ more fully.Join us as we dive deeper into experiencing the depths of God's love and maturing in faith together.

What does it mean to be a true friend in a Jesus-centered community? In this message, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks the biblical foundation of loving correction—a key characteristic of authentic friendship.Too often, we believe myths about relationships in the church:❌ Following Jesus automatically makes us great at friendships.❌ We will naturally get along with other believers.❌ Love for one another is instant and effortless.But the New Testament tells a different story. True friendship isn't about flattery or appeasement—it's about mutual affection and correction, sharpening one another toward spiritual maturity (Proverbs 27:17, Ephesians 4:15).Through Galatians 6, we learn how to:✅ Restore others with gentleness when they stumble.✅ Carry one another's burdens while taking personal responsibility.✅ Love in a way that transforms judgment into compassion and action.Are you ready to build deeper, Christ-centered relationships? Watch now and take a step toward living out the “one another” commands of Scripture.

How can we build deep, lasting friendships that reflect the love of Jesus? In this message, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks Jesus' command to "love one another" and explores why relationships are essential for a thriving faith. Despite having the best tools for community, many believers struggle with isolation, individualism, and self-reliance. But Jesus calls us to something greater—a life of Jesus-centered friendships that strengthen our faith and serve as a powerful witness to the world.Join us as we dive into John 13, learning how to restore relationships, carry one another's burdens, and embrace the kind of friendships that transform lives.
