Jarrett Stephens teaches from 2 Timothy 4:6-8 in a message called "Fight to the Finish." Paul's final inspired words were written from a Roman prison as he faced imminent death, yet they overflow with confidence and hope. He had fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith, and he wanted Timothy to do the same. Jarrett explores what motivated Paul to persevere through suffering and what enables believers to finish strong today. He warns against six common barriers that derail Christians and offers three practical commitments: live with the end in mind, expect life's challenges rather than being surprised by them, and remember the people watching your life. The message points us to Jesus as both the reason and the reward for finishing faithful.

Jarrett Stephens teaches from 2 Corinthians 4 and Romans 8 in a message called "Fighting Through Suffering." Suffering touches every life, and the question of why can derail our faith if we let it. Jarrett shows from Scripture that suffering runs on two tracks: the glory of God and the refinement of our faith. God's glory rests on us in the middle of suffering, not just after it ends, and our faith is tested and matured in ways nothing else can accomplish. Suffering also brings gifts we could not receive otherwise: God's power when we are weak, purpose that reaches beyond ourselves, and perspective that looks to unseen eternal realities. Jarrett closes with four certainties from Romans 8 that anchor us in hardship: God is not condemning you, God is praying for you, God is working for your good, and nothing can separate you from His love. The path through suffering is to hold fast to what we know rather than be consumed by what we do not.

Jarrett Stephens teaches from 1 Samuel 1 in a message called "A Mother's Surrender." Hannah lived in a spiritually dark time, personally barren, publicly mocked by her rival, and misunderstood by her own husband. Still, she kept making the journey to worship and took her deepest pain directly to God. Jarrett shows how Hannah addressed God as "Lord of hosts," the all-sovereign ruler over every seen and unseen power, and asked specifically for a son, promising to give him back. The same Hebrew word means both "asked" and "lent," capturing the heart of her surrender. Samuel became a great leader, but his story began with a mother who prayed and released. This message calls parents, grandparents, and anyone who loves a child to the fight of prayer and the freedom of surrender. Our children belong to God first. When we release them with open hands, we are freed to worship and trust the One who holds them better than we ever could.

Jarrett Stephens concludes the series "So What: Why the Resurrection Matters" with a message from Matthew 28 and Acts 1 called "Jesus Sends on Mission." The empty tomb does more than secure salvation. It sends every follower of Jesus into the world as a witness. Jarrett shows how the resurrection gives us three things for this mission: the presence of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the promise of his return. He tells how a Sunday school teacher reached a teenage D.L. Moody in a Boston shoe store, and how ordinary believers planted churches that now saturate that same city. The scope is global, but the starting point is local. Our Jerusalem is wherever we live, work, and play.

Pastor Jarrett Stephens taught from John 11 with the title of “It's Okay to Ask Why.” The story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. We all experience struggling events that shape our faith and we ask why. It's okay to ask “why?” - God can handle our questions. It's okay not to understand “why”. - Don't trade what you know for what you don't know. Seven certainties in suffering: • Universal and unavoidable • Temporary • Not judgement of sin • God loves me and has not forgotten me • God empathizes with me • God uses it for my good and His glory • God gives us His Spirit and His Church to help me It's not okay to lose hope. Listen to Pastor Jarrett give us the cause, trials, and blessings of suffering as written in the Scriptures
