In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, Pastor Jay sits down with Pastor Mark, along with Caden Sichler, Young Adults Coordinator, and Matt Conner, Discipleship Intern, to launch our new series This Is Us. Together they look at Daniel 1 and the lives of four young men who stood strong in their faith by living with conviction and values rooted in God. The conversation explores what it means to make decisions ahead of time, walk in daily faith, and stand firm when culture pushes back. Listen in for stories, encouragement, and practical ways to live out your faith with courage today.

In this episode of Plain English with Pastor Jay, we're diving into one of Jesus' most famous miracles—feeding thousands with just a boy's small lunch. The lesson? God doesn't ask you to feed the five thousand; He just asks you to give Him what you've got.From Moses' staff to David's sling, to your own unique gifts today—God specializes in taking the little we bring and multiplying it for Kingdom impact. Whether you feel unqualified, too busy, or like what you have isn't enough, this episode will challenge you to put it in His hands and watch what He can do.

In this message, Pastor Jay reminds us that church should be more than a building—it's Home Base. A place of safety, rest, and strength where Jesus is seen in how we serve one another. Discover how simple acts of love can shine like a lighthouse and point people back to Him.

Darkness doesn't stand a chance against even the smallest light. In this episode of Plain English with Pastor Jay, we walk through Ephesians 5 and what it means to live as people of light. From the way we love, resist sin, walk in wisdom, and honor one another in marriage, our lives should shine like lanterns in a dark world—pointing people back to Jesus.

Before you pledge allegiance to anything else, your first loyalty belongs to the cross. In this episode of Plain English with Pastor Jay, we unpack Ephesians 2 and what it truly means to be citizens of God's Kingdom. Once outsiders and enemies of God, we've now been forgiven, reconciled, and welcomed into His family. Built on the cornerstone of Christ, this new citizenship gives us identity, purpose, and unity beyond politics, culture, or background.

Saying yes to God is easy—but living it out is where obedience gets real. In this episode of Plain English with Pastor Jay, we'll explore why God desires more than lip service; He wants our hearts and our actions. From Noah building an ark for rain he had never seen, to the reminder that partial or delayed obedience is still disobedience, this message challenges us to walk in faith—even when His instructions don't make sense.

Who are you in Christ? In this sermon from Ephesians 4:1, Pastor Jay unpacks how true oneness in Christ transcends differences while preserving uniqueness. Through powerful stories—from military boot camp to the early church—he reveals how God calls us to live boldly as ambassadors of Christ, citizens of heaven, and members of His family.

“Meeting the Holy God”Scripture Reading: Exodus 19:9-259 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.”When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord, 10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;[a] whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” 14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.”16 On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly. 19 And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish. 22 Also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them.” 23 And Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, ‘Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.'” 24 And the Lord said to him, “Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

In this episode, Pastor Brandon welcomes Pastor Jay and Middle School Coordinator Brady Fritz for a conversation around our new series United and the message “The NETwork.” Together, they unpack Jesus' invitation to be “fishers of men” and the powerful picture of community found in a fishing net. They discuss how small groups anchor us in truth, offer encouragement, and provide spaces for healing and connection. Brady also shares why these groups are so formative for middle school students and how parents and leaders can help them feel truly woven into the net of faith. If Brevard County is our Sea of Galilee, what might God do through a fully connected community of believers?

What gives life true meaning? In this powerful opening message of "The Search for Meaning" series, Pastor Jay takes us through Solomon's journey in Ecclesiastes to reveal a timeless truth: pursuing pleasure, possessions, power, and even wisdom apart from God leads only to emptiness. Drawing from his own experience, Pastor Jay connects deeply with the universal human struggle to find meaning in the wrong places. Through Solomon's raw honesty about testing every earthly source of fulfillment—from wine to wealth, entertainment to endless work—we see how even the wisest and wealthiest person in history concluded it was all "vanity and striving after wind." Pastor Jay highlights alarming modern statistics about addiction, suicide, and brokenness to show how this ancient wisdom remains desperately relevant today. Yet hope breaks through as he reveals that true meaning can only be found in Jesus Christ, our Creator who designed us for purpose. Pastor Jay concludes with an urgent call to remember God in our youth and guide others, especially young people, to find their meaning in Christ before the "evil days" of life's challenges arrive.

In this week's message, Pastor Jay Tyler tackles a powerful and practical question submitted by the congregation: "How can you tell the difference between intuition and discernment?" We learn that intuition is natural and shaped by our emotions and experiences, while discernment is a spiritual gift that comes from the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture and examples like King Saul and Joseph, Pastor Jay contrasts the danger of self-deception with the clarity that comes from spiritual humility and surrender. This message reminds us that discernment grows in the soil of humility, not pride. True discernment begins with a heart fully submitted to God, rooted in His Word, guided by prayer, and strengthened by obedience.

What if you could turn your greatest flaws into your greatest strengths? In this powerful closing sermon of the "Imperfect Heroes" series, Pastor Jay delves into the complex life of Samson, a biblical figure marked by remarkable potential yet plagued by disobedience. Through the lens of Judges, he artfully illustrates how God employs even deeply flawed individuals for His purpose, raising them up as imperfect heroes. Pastor Jay challenges us to recognize that while God's will prevails, our choices carry significant consequences. He underscores that disobedience can dull our connection with God and that everything concealed will ultimately surface. Moreover, he encourages the audience to confront their internal struggles, reminding us that we can seek strength and guidance from God, rather than relying solely on our own efforts. As the sermon concludes, Pastor Jay compels us to reflect: what areas of our lives still resist Christ's Lordship? With clarity and compassion, he calls for surrender, urging each of us to look upward for strength and allow God's grace to transform our flaws into tools for His glory. Let us commit today to choose obedience and find true freedom in faith.

What does it mean to be saved? By walking through eight key questions, Pastor Jay unpacks what we're saved from, why we need saving, who can be saved, and how we respond to the grace of God. Drawing from powerful Scripture and real-life examples, Pastor Jay explains that salvation isn't just about going to heaven, it's about being rescued from sin, made new by the Holy Spirit, and restored to God's purpose for our lives. Whether you're new to faith or need a fresh reminder of God's saving power, this message will help you understand and clearly communicate the life changing truth of the gospel.

In this week's powerful sermon, Pastor Jay takes us to Judges chapter four, unveiling the dynamic and transformative stories of Deborah and Barak – two imperfect figures chosen by God at a pivotal moment. Pastor Jay draws parallels between their lives and ours, illustrating how our own hesitations can mirror Barak's conditional obedience. Just as Barak faltered when asked to lead, we too often hold back due to fear or uncertainty. However, God calls us to step boldly into our destinies, emphasizing that obedience without conditions is paramount for experiencing His promises. The message resonates as Pastor Jay encourages everyone, particularly women, to embrace their God-given gifts and leadership roles within their families and communities. Joining this conversation is a vital step in your spiritual journey, where you'll discover the importance of stepping out in faith, even when the path seems daunting. We invite you to reflect and engage with your own faith journey, as Pastor Jay challenges you to identify areas of conditional obedience in your life. Don't miss this opportunity – tune in and let this message ignite a new commitment to follow God's call wholeheartedly!

“Wrestling and Blessing”Genesis 32:22-3222 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”“Jacob,” he answered.28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob's hip was touched near the tendon.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.
