New Beginnings | Ps Zion Douglas by Connect Church

In this message, “The Clash,” we explore John 9:1–7 and the powerful moment when Jesus heals the man born blind, revealing the collision between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of culture. While culture trains us to assign blame, judge brokenness, and normalize distorted thinking, Jesus shifts the focus to the glory of the Father, compassion for the hurting, and the transforming power of holiness. This teaching challenges us to examine how cultural influence shapes our view of truth, mercy, and discipleship, and invites us to allow God to bring inner change that is later revealed publicly for His glory. As we surrender our hearts, hide God's Word within us, and let His light shine through us, we discover that true freedom and vision come only through Christ.Scripture: John 9:1-7Speaker: Pastor Kyle HornerDid you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Begin with God: Part 4A | Pastor Adam White by Connect Church

In this message, we explore the life-changing conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus and discover how true discipleship is birthed, nurtured, matured, and passed on through godly conversations. This teaching reminds us that seeking Jesus leads to conversations with Him and about Him, that conversations clarify what silence distorts, and that restoration—not affirmation—is the heart of biblical discipleship. When our conversations are centered on Christ, both vertically with God and horizontally with others, they carry the power to remove limitations, reveal truth, and lead us into freedom in Him. Ultimately, discipleship doesn't only happen in conversations—but it never happens without them—inviting us to courageously engage in Christ-centered conversations that bring healing, clarity, and transformation.Scripture: John 3:1-10Speaker: Pastor Kyle HornerDid you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Begin with God: Part four | Pastor Adam White by Connect Church

In Part 2 of this CORE teaching, we move from who the Holy Spirit is to what He provides, produces, and protects in the life of a believer. We talk honestly about the state of our culture—and why the “fruit” we all long for (love, peace, joy, kindness, faithfulness) can't be manufactured by willpower or religion, but only formed in us through the Spirit.You'll hear why the Holy Spirit is the Provider of our connection to Jesus, the Seal that guarantees our inheritance, the Counselor who gives wisdom and guidance, and the Protector who empowers us in spiritual battles—through prayer and through the Word (rhema). We also unpack the difference between demonic oppression vs. possession, and why believers can walk with confidence because we are sealed by the Spirit.This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in Scripture, theology, and the gospel.Find the class notes on our Linktree page under CORE, “Why We Need the Holy Spirit”: https://linktr.ee/theconnectchurchLearn more about The Connect Church and stay connected: https://www.theconnectchurch.com

In this message, we explore what it means to open our lives to Jesus when He “drops in.” Rooted in Matthew 26:17–19, this teaching challenges us to examine the criteria we use to open the door to Christ—and how obedience to His Word positions us to encounter His presence. We discover that Jesus' Word often precedes His arrival, and our willingness to prepare room for Him shapes what He reveals in us and through us.This message invites us to live with open doors, responsive hearts, and obedient faith—ready to welcome Jesus wherever and however He chooses to show up.Scripture: Matthew 26:17–19Speaker: Pastor Kyle HornerDid you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Begin with God | Pastor Adam White by Connect Church

Why do we need the Holy Spirit—and who is He, really?In Part 1 of this CORE teaching, we lay the foundation by answering one of the most important questions for discipleship: Who is the Holy Spirit? We explore how the Spirit isn't a vague force or “power station,” but a Person—God Himself—who empowers believers for transformation and kingdom advancement.We walk through key Scriptures showing the Holy Spirit as the source of dunamis power, the Helper/Advocate (Parakletos) promised by Jesus, and the One who empowers creation, Christ's ministry, and the Church today. We also trace the Holy Spirit's work through the Old Testament as a foreshadowing of what Jesus would promise and pour out.This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in their understanding of Scripture, theology, and the gospel.Find the class notes on our Linktree page under CORE, “Why We Need the Holy Spirit”: https://linktr.ee/theconnectchurchLearn more about The Connect Church and stay connected: https://www.theconnectchurch.com

Welcome back, friends! We're wrapping up our BECOMING Series with a powerful reunion—Hannah Marks is back!

Originally from Great Britain, Hannah has called the United States home for the past 30 years, though her charming British accent remains unmistakably intact. Hannah's journey into holistic health wasn't planned—it was deeply personal. After having her thyroid removed 18 years ago, she spent nearly two decades struggling with what doctors thought were strokes, autoimmune conditions, debilitating anxiety, depression, and complex health issues that left her desperate for answers. Despite countless doctor visits, medications, and being told "your labs are normal," Hannah knew something was deeply wrong. Everything changed on Saint Patrick's Day 2019 when, after reading The Bondage Breaker by Neil T. Anderson, Hannah discovered she had a stronghold of fear over her life. In a powerful moment at church, she commanded the spirit of anxiety to leave in Jesus' name—and it did. After ten months of continuous anxiety attacks, she was instantly and completely free. But Hannah's freedom journey didn't stop there. As a pastor's kid who grew up in "the most beautiful home," she realized that if she didn't understand her authority in Christ, countless other women didn't either. This spiritual breakthrough led her to pursue answers for her physical health, eventually connecting with a doctor who helped her understand insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, and the power of whole foods. For the past five years, Hannah has been guiding women and men through their own transformative journeys. She specializes in comprehensive blood work analysis, addressing the two root causes of most health issues (insulin or hormones), personalized nutrition, and teaching people to advocate for their own health—all while grounding everything in a relationship with Jesus Christ. At 48, Hannah says her body looks and feels better than ever. She's a proud mom to Will (16) and London, teaches elementary music two days a week at her children's school, actively serves at Connect Church in Springfield, Missouri, and finds her daily strength in quiet time with Jesus. Currently walking through an unwanted divorce, Hannah is living proof that it's never too late to become whole—body, mind, and soul. Her clients consistently say they've "gotten their lives back," experiencing reversed diabetes, balanced hormones, renewed energy, and rediscovered joy.

Broke As A Joke | Pastor Deryck Frye by Connect Church

Are you believing for a miracle but struggling with doubt? In this powerful message, we look at what it truly means to have a faith that honors God—a faith that believes even when it can't see, persists when nothing changes, works when it doesn't make sense, and seeks the Miracle-Worker above the miracle itself.Through stories from Mark 9, Mark 5, and powerful truths throughout Scripture, we're reminded that everything is possible for those who believe. God still moves. He still heals. He still demonstrates His awesome power.
