Forgiveness is one of the hardest things Jesus asks us to do. When someone has deeply hurt us, letting go can feel impossible. But what if forgiveness isn't about pretending it never happened, but about finding freedom for your own heart?In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant and reminds us that we've been forgiven more than we could ever repay. As we receive God's grace, we're invited to extend that same grace to others, not because it's easy, but because it's how we experience true freedom.Send us Fan Mail

Some things seem valuable until you discover something worth far more. In this message, Pastor Phil explores two short parables from Matthew 13 where Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to hidden treasure and a priceless pearl. Whether you've been searching for meaning your whole life or unexpectedly found yourself asking deeper questions, this message reminds us that following Jesus isn't about losing everything. It's about gaining the one thing that truly satisfies. When we see His value clearly, surrender becomes the greatest investment we'll ever make.Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever lost something valuable—and felt the relief and joy when you finally found it?In this powerful message from Hope City Church, we dive into Luke chapter 15 and discover the heart of God for those who are lost.Jesus makes it clear: lost people matter to Him. Through the parable of the lost sheep, we see a God who doesn't stay in the “holy huddle,” but actively seeks, finds, and saves.This message challenges us to ask:Are we living on mission or just attending church?Do people who don't know Jesus feel welcomed by us?Have we forgotten what it was like to be lost?The truth is, every one of us has fallen short (Romans 3:23), and we all need a Savior. But the good news is this: Jesus didn't wait for us to clean ourselves up—He came after us.Key Takeaways:The church is not a holy huddle—we are called to live on missionLost people are valuable to JesusWe are called to love and pursue others like He does

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Keith Jeffries to unpack a story marked by addiction, heartbreak, spiritual awakening, and the life-changing power of surrendering to God.   Keith shares openly about growing up in a loving home that lacked a spiritual foundation, and how his desire for acceptance and belonging led him down a destructive path at an early age. What began with drinking as a teenager quickly escalated into marijuana, prescription pills, heroin, and eventually years of meth addiction. Through his brutally honest reflection, Keith reveals how addiction slowly eroded his relationships, fueled selfish choices, and left him feeling empty despite outward success.   Nick and Keith explore the deep wounds that often live beneath addiction—including father wounds, unresolved anger, and the quiet shame that lingers long after the chaos of substance abuse fades. Keith reflects on the painful realization that the scars addicts leave on others can be some of the hardest burdens to carry in sobriety.   The turning point in Keith's story came during one of the darkest moments of his life. After years of addiction and the loss of his father, Keith found himself sitting alone with a gun in his hand, ready to end everything. Instead, in a moment he still struggles to fully explain, he fired the gun into the floor—an act that became a permanent reminder of the life he almost lost.   Soon after, Keith attended a men's event called The Launching Pad in Dallas, Texas, where he experienced a powerful encounter with God that would change everything. In that moment of surrender, the addictions that once controlled him were broken, and Keith began a new journey of faith, obedience, and purpose.   But the journey wasn't without heartbreak. After five years of infertility, Keith and his wife Kayla experienced the joy of discovering they were pregnant with twins—only to lose both babies to miscarriage weeks later. In one of the most painful seasons of their lives, they made the difficult decision to remain faithful and obedient to God, trusting that He still had a plan for their family.   Today, Keith lives a completely transformed life—devoted to his faith, his marriage, and helping other men find freedom from addiction and hopelessness. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far someone believes they have fallen, redemption is always possible.   Through honest conversation, Nick and Keith discuss the role of obedience, the importance of brotherhood and accountability, and the incredible ways God reveals Himself when people choose faith over fear.   This episode is a raw and inspiring testimony that no one is too far gone for grace—and that sometimes the greatest miracles come after the darkest moments.
