Grace Paid the Bill — Pastor Jason Burns Trying to earn God's approval will always leave us exhausted, but the gospel offers a different way. Looking at Galatians 2, this message contrasts performance-driven religion with grace-filled faith, reminding us that we're made right with God through Jesus, and that true obedience flows from a transformed heart rather than a need to prove ourselves.

The Gospel Changes Everything — Pastor Derek Shackelford No one is beyond the reach of God's grace, and Paul's story is proof that the gospel can completely redirect a life. Centered on Galatians 1, this message explores how an encounter with Jesus transforms our identity, rewrites our story, and turns even our past failures into a testimony that points others to God.

Jesus Plus Nothing — Pastor Jason Burns Paul's letter to the Galatians is a reminder that the gospel is good news about what Jesus has already done, not a list of rules we must follow to earn God's love. This message unpacks how adding anything to Jesus distorts the freedom found in grace.

The Process of Healing — Pastor Jason Burns Transformation rarely happens all at once, and this message reminds us that God often works through process, patience, and community to renew our minds and restore our lives. From the blind man's gradual healing in Mark 8 to Paul's reminder in Romans 12 and Philippians 1, we're encouraged not to give up in the middle of the process because God is still working and He finishes what He starts.

Guard Your Minds — Pastor Terrell Dawson Jr Our thoughts shape the direction of our lives, and this message challenges us to guard what we allow into our hearts and minds before it begins influencing our choices, faith, and identity. Through the story of the Israelites in Numbers 13–14, we're reminded that wrong thinking can keep us stuck, but God's truth has the power to transform the way we see ourselves and our future.

Guarded by His Peace — Pastor Derek Shackelford Peace is not found in a life free from problems but in a mind anchored in the presence of Christ. This message unpacks how anxiety loses its grip when we surrender control, take our thoughts captive, and learn the steady strength of contentment through passages like Philippians 4.

Think About What You Think About — Pastor Jason Burns What shapes your thoughts will ultimately shape your life. This message explores how God transforms us from the inside out by renewing our minds, challenging us to take our thoughts captive, guard what we're exposed to, and align our thinking with His truth instead of the patterns of the world.

Putting Emotions in Their Place — Pastor Lis Burns Emotions are real and God-given, but they were never meant to be in charge. This message challenges us to let God's truth lead while our emotions are expressed, processed, and surrendered in a healthy way, as seen throughout the whole Bible.

Discovering True Love — Pastor Aaron Burke Love is more than a feeling to follow. It is a choice to live out through selfless, sacrificial action rooted in God's definition of agape love. In this message, Pastor Aaron Burke from Radiant Church unpacks how true love lifts others, serves selflessly, honors deeply, and endures faithfully in every relationship.

Uncomplicated Friendship — Pastor Jason Burns The people you surround yourself with have the power to shape your direction and determine your future. In this message, Pastor Jason highlights the importance of having the right friends in our lives.

Married God's Way — Pastor Jason Burns Love was never meant to be a contract that protects our rights but a covenant that calls us to surrender them. Rooted in passages like Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2, this message challenges us to trade self-centered love for a Christ-centered commitment marked by unconditional love, mutual submission, and honoring one another well.

Here Comes Sunday — Pastor Jason Burns The resurrection is not just something we celebrate but a power we are invited to experience in our everyday lives. Through the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, we're reminded that there is no pain is beyond His purpose, no confusion beyond His presence, and no situation beyond His power to bring life.

Unstoppable Faith — Pastor Barry Baugh Faith was never meant to stay theoretical but to be lived out in a way that transforms how we see and serve people. The story of the paralytic man challenges us to make room, act boldly, and become the kind of people who help others experience Jesus.

Pastor Jason Burns — For the 863 God's kingdom is meant to be lived out here and now as we bring heaven to earth through hope, celebration, and purpose. Through passages like Matthew 6 and Luke 15, we see that we are called to make a difference in our cities.

Fully Devoted — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason explores what it truly means to follow Jesus and why the church must remain a place for everyone if the message of Jesus is for everyone. Through passages like Matthew 4 and Luke 9, we are challenged to move beyond being fans of Jesus and step into the daily surrender of real discipleship.

Flourishing Faith - Christine Caine There are only two moments in scripture where Jesus is amazed — both are due to faith. What does it mean to be believers who have a faith that amazes God? In today's message, we're challenged by Christine Caine to let go of our attempts to rationalize our beliefs and embrace a faith that allows us to flourish.

Who Needs Church? — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, we're reminded that the church was never meant to be a monument for insiders but a movement that turns the world upside down, as seen in Acts 17 and Jesus' promise in Matthew 16 to build His church. We are challenged to create a church for everybody by one-anothering well and refusing to make it difficult for those who are turning to God.

Here for Good — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, we discover what it means to live so our lives outlive us by embracing intentional, sacrificial, and joyful generosity. Through passages like 2 Corinthians 9 and Matthew 25, we see how generosity honors Jesus, blesses others, and leads us into the life that is truly life.

Extravagant Generosity — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason explores how generosity shapes the legacy we leave, challenging us to live in a way that outlives us through intentional, sacrificial, and even extravagant giving. Through the example of Mary's offering in Gospel of John and Gospel of Mark, we are reminded that true generosity flows from grace, not selfishness, and that we give not to get, but in response to the mercy we have already received.

Pastor Jason Burns — Windows of Heaven In this message, we're challenged to see generosity as a mindset shaped by faith rather than fear or scarcity. Through Scripture, we're reminded that God multiplies what is blessed and given, inviting us to trust Him as the source of abundance in every area of our lives.

Trust Fund — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks what the Bible really teaches about money, generosity, and trust. Rather than letting fear or greed call the shots, we're invited to see generosity as a reflection of who truly has our hearts.

Make Room to Serve — Pastor Lis Burns Compassion isn't just something we feel—it's something we do, even when it costs us time, comfort, or convenience. The story of the Good Samaritan reminds us that following Jesus means choosing a love that interrupts our plans, serves others boldly, and reflects the heart of Christ.

Make Room for Faith — Pastor Jason Burns Through the story of the lame man in Acts, we're reminded that faith isn't wishful thinking—it's confident expectation in the power and name of Jesus. When we choose faith over fear and expectation over limitation, God meets us in the “ridiculous” and does the miraculous.

The Spirit of God — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason invites us to make room for God's presence by welcoming the Holy Spirit—the unseen, powerful, and life-giving breath of God. Through Scripture, we see the Spirit as our Helper, Guide, and closest Friend, bringing freedom, transformation, and renewal to our lives.

People of His Presence — Pastor Jason Burns When we make room for God's presence, we move past secondhand faith and find a real, personal relationship with Him. In this first message of 2026, Pastor Jason reminds us that hearing God's voice isn't about ability but desire—and that faith grows when we slow down, engage His Word, and listen with humility.

Heavenly Peace — Pastor Jason Burns This Christmas, we're reminded that while the world may never experience lasting peace, Jesus offers a deeper gift—peace for our souls. As the Prince of Peace, Christ brings rest, identity, and strength that hold us steady through unavoidable circumstances and uncontrollable worries.

Joy Is My Job — Pastor Jason Through the birth of Jesus, we're reminded that God stepped into the mess to bring great joy for all people, not just a few. In today's message, Pastor Jason shares how happiness may rise and fall with circumstances, but joy is a choice rooted in Christ, a light the darkness can never overcome.

Hope is Here — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason explores a hope strong enough to hold us up when life feels dark and weary. Through the promise of Jesus—God moving into our neighborhood—we see that hope doesn't avoid darkness; it invades it.

So Loved — Pastor Jason Burns From the story of Hosea to John 3:16, we're reminded that God doesn't love us because we're worthy; He loves us because He is love. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, and Jesus continues to seek and save the lost. In this message, Pastor Jason looks at the breathtaking depth of God's love—one that rescues, covers, pursues, and restores us.

Find the Gold — Pastor Jason Burns In this message, Pastor Jason explores the biblical call to honor and how it positions our hearts to receive the rewards God intends for us. From Jesus' experience in His hometown to the Scriptures' teaching on honoring authority, we see that honor isn't just about words but the posture of our hearts.

A Worshiping Heart — Pastor Cody Henson Worship is more than music—it's the posture of a surrendered heart and a transformed mind. Through Scripture and the story of the woman with the alabaster jar, Pastor Cody reminds us in this message that true worship draws us close to God, reshapes our thinking, and touches every part of our daily lives.

A Grateful Heart — Pastor Jason Burns Through the story of the ten lepers, we're reminded that feeling thankful isn't the same as expressing it and God notices a grateful heart. When we choose gratitude over busyness, caution, or self-focus, we see God's gifts more clearly and turn our thankfulness into worship.

A Rested Heart — Pastor Jason Burns What does it mean to follow God's design for margin and rest in a world that glorifies busyness? Through Scripture and the practice of Sabbath, Pastor Jason reminds us that rest isn't a reward—it's a command and a blessing meant to restore our hearts and renew our connection with God.
