Is your heart fully devoted to Jesus?   It's not always easy to put Jesus first—but it's the most life-changing decision you'll ever make. Join Tewannah Aman as she shares how a personal relationship with Jesus can transform your heart, strengthen your faith, and give your life lasting hope and purpose.

Worship isn't a box you check on Sunday—it's an inward heart posture with an outward response. In this message, Nate Sheetz unpacks what it means to worship "in spirit and truth" (John 4), and confronts the three things that quietly hold us back: pride, preference, and priority. Stop consuming worship. Start worshipping from the inside out.

We're the most connected generation in history—and the loneliest. We can reach a thousand people with our thumbs but have no one to call at 2 a.m. In this message from our series Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ, we dig into the spiritual discipline of community through Acts 2. The early church didn't stumble into belonging—they built it, meal by meal, home by home. Discover four practices that pull us out of isolation: find and form community, belong to it, confess within it, and keep growing in it. The answer to your loneliness isn't a better phone or a bigger following. It's a table, a few people, and the courage to be known. Jesus is still setting the table—and there's a seat with your name on it.

As we continue our series, Into the New, Pastor Chris taught from Joshua 6 and how God sees victory before we see movement. Through the fall of Jericho, we learn that obedience, faithfulness, and devotion position us to experience God's miraculous power as He leads us into the new.

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Ira teaches The Shema prayer is a guide for life that brings true blessing. At its heart is the concept of devotion. Full devotion is elusive but essential for following Jesus. Today we will look at what gets in the way of this devotion and how it impacts our lives.Key Scriptures:Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 1 Kings 18:21, Psalm 86:11, 42:1-2

When was the last time you sat in complete silence—no phone, no music, no running to-do list? In the loudest moment in human history, we've engineered our lives around never being quiet. And it's costing us.In the busiest season of his ministry, Jesus kept slipping away to be alone with the Father. If solitude was essential for the Son of God, what does that mean for us?In this message, we explore the discipline of solitude—what Scripture says about it, why it's so uncomfortable at first, and five practical steps to start practicing it this week.You weren't built to run at this pace. The peace and depth you're hungry for isn't found by doing more—it's found by learning to be still. Jesus is still saying, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while" (Mark 6:31).This week's challenge: Find ten minutes. Find a quiet place. Put your phone away. And say, "God, I'm here. I'm listening."

You already have everything you need to share your faith — you just don't know it yet. In this message, we walk through the Book of Acts to show how Jesus personally provided the message, the Spirit, the courage, the opportunities, and the results. No excuses. No more waiting to feel ready. Just one question left: Will you speak?

Money. It's the topic most many avoid — but Jesus couldn't stop talking about it. Not because He was obsessed with finances, but because He knew the truth: the way you handle your money is a direct window into the state of your heart.In this message, we dive into the Giving Practice and discover that generosity isn't a personality type — it's a discipline. A practice. Something that can be built, grown, and deepened over time.

What if following Jesus is less about being noticed and more about reaching for the towel? In this message, we look at John 13 and the spiritual discipline of serving—learning to move from consumer to servant, from self-focus to love, and from waiting for someone else to act to becoming available right where we are.

What if reading the Bible was never meant to be a task to complete, but a place to meet with Jesus?In this episode, we explore the spiritual discipline of Scripture—not as a rulebook, religious homework, or ammunition for arguments, but as a living encounter with the Author Himself. From Hebrews 4 to the road to Emmaus, we unpack how God's Word reads us, forms us, renews our minds, and becomes a “library for the soul” under pressure.You'll learn four simple movements for engaging Scripture: come to the Word, meditate on the Word, handle the Word carefully, and hide the Word deeply. In a world of skimming, scrolling, reacting, and forgetting, this is an invitation to slow down and let the living God breathe life into you through His Word.Open the Scriptures—and let your heart burn again.

In this message from the series Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ, Pastor Rich Shepherd teaches on the spiritual discipline of fasting from Matthew 6:16–18. Fasting is not about earning God's love or proving spiritual strength; it is a way of offering our whole selves to God, creating space for deeper hunger, honest prayer, and greater surrender.As Jesus teaches, fasting is meant to be practiced with sincerity before the Father, not as religious performance. This message explores how fasting reveals what controls us, intensifies our prayers, bends our hearts toward love and justice, and helps us become more available to God. Whether you are new to fasting or returning to the practice, this sermon offers a wise, practical, and grace-filled invitation to let hunger become a place where Jesus meets you.

What if prayer is not about saying the perfect words, but about learning to live in the presence of God? In this episode of Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ, we take a deep and practical look at prayer as one of the key spiritual disciplines that shapes us to become more like Jesus. From the Lord's Prayer to honest conversations with God, to quiet listening and stillness before Him, this message invites you into a richer, more authentic prayer life. Whether you feel confident in prayer or you do not know where to begin, this episode will encourage you to lay down worry, draw near to God, and start right where you are.

Are you tired, stretched thin, and running on empty? In this first episode of Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ, we kick off a new series by looking at the spiritual discipline of Sabbath and why God's command to rest is one of the most overlooked gifts in the Christian life. Discover how stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping can restore your soul and help you live with greater trust, peace, and devotion to Jesus.

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren't doing anything spectacular.

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.

In Part Three of the Fully Devoted series, Pastor Jay Tyler explores what it means to be a praying church by looking at the powerful example of the early church in Acts 4. When faced with real opposition, the believers did not retreat, complain, or pray for comfort, they prayed together for boldness, and God responded with His presence and power. This message highlights how corporate prayer unites the body, invites the Holy Spirit to move, and fuels courageous witness in a broken world. A praying church is not a timid church, it is a unified, Spirit-filled church devoted to Jesus and ready to respond to His call.

Serving isn't about volunteering our leftover time — it's about living with the mindset of a servant. In this message, we're reminded that everything we have belongs to God, and a fully devoted life puts the needs of others above comfort, recognition, and convenience. Watch and lean into what it really means to follow Jesus through humble, joyful service.

Drawing from Jesus' parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1–8, this message reminds us that prayer is not about wearing God down or convincing Him to care, it's about staying close to Him and refusing to lose heart. We learn that delay is not denial, that the enemy often works to discourage us just before breakthrough, and that true faith keeps praying even when nothing seems to be changing. Through biblical insight, practical application, and heartfelt encouragement, this message calls believers to pick up prayers they may have laid down and to trust God's character while waiting on His timing.

In this sermon, Pastor Beau Hollis shared from Acts 4:13, we see how God used ordinary, uneducated men to change the world — not because of who they were, but because they had been with Jesus. Paul reminds us in Colossians 2 that in baptism we're buried with Christ and raised to new life. That's what gives us real power to live differently. We also looked at how the church was birthed in Acts 1–2, when the Holy Spirit showed up and the gospel began to spread like wildfire. It wasn't about talent, education, or status — it was about Jesus and the Spirit of God moving through willing hearts. If you've ever felt too ordinary or unqualified, I think this message will encourage you. God does His best work through people who simply say “yes” to Him.

God is moving in the earth in new, exciting ways, and we don't want to just be observers. We want to participate in His Kingdom! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the current state of the Church in the nation, and the importance of developing our faith to be more fully devoted followers of Jesus. He teaches from the life of Apostle Peter to demonstrate the disruption and change Christ-followers will experience as we mature in our relationship with the Lord. Pastor Allen also speaks about World Outreach Church's own mission in our community and beyond. Godliness and wickedness are both increasing in our culture, but let's decide each day to fulfill what God has planned for us.
