In this powerful message, “Only One Way to Win,” Josh Craft teaches that winning in life requires discipline, endurance, and daily self-control—not talent or motivation alone Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Josh explains how athletes in the ancient world trained relentlessly long before race day ever arrived. In the same way, our spiritual, emotional, and relational victories are determined by what we practice daily.

Pastor Josh challenges us to remember that political power cannot fix what is spiritually broken, and only the gospel brings true transformation.

How to Keep Following Christ When the Cost Is Real If obedience feels harder than it should, this episode will help you hear Christ's voice clearly and take the next faithful step—even without the full picture. In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: What happens after the mountaintop—when obedience still lies ahead Why God's command is not to admire Jesus, but to listen to Him How emotions and internal noise can drown out the Shepherd's voice Why discipleship is built on obedience, not feelings or experiences What the resurrection reveals about suffering and glory Why God rarely gives the full picture before calling us to follow How faith learns to walk with incomplete understanding A practical challenge to take one step of obedience—even in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus

Why God Reveals Christ's Glory to Strengthen Obedience If following Jesus feels costly, this episode reveals why God shows us who Christ truly is—without removing the call to carry the cross.What does it mean to follow Jesus when faith feels costly? In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: Why the Christian life follows a clear pattern: suffering first, glory later What the Transfiguration reveals—and why it wasn't meant to keep the disciples on the mountain How Mark 9 connects directly to the call of the cross in Mark 8 Why God sometimes gives a glimpse of glory without removing the cost of obedience The difference between curiosity about Jesus and faith in Jesus Why chasing spiritual experiences can weaken discipleship What it means to behold Christ's glory without demanding comfort or clarity How seeing who Jesus truly is prepares us to trust Him in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus  

In this message from the book of Philemon, Pastor Josh Slautterback explores the powerful and often challenging call to forgiveness. Through the story of Philemon and Onesimus, we see how unforgiveness can keep us trapped behind emotional and spiritual fences—much like prisoners who remained in POW camps even after freedom was declared. Paul's appeal to Philemon reveals that forgiveness is not just a spiritual ideal, but a practical, costly, and freeing act of love. This sermon walks through three essential steps to forgiveness—releasing the offense, redeeming the relationship, and remembering the grace we've received—while exposing how bitterness, when left unchecked, takes root and spreads. Ultimately, this message calls us to live in the freedom Christ offers, become peacemakers in broken relationships, and extend the same grace we have been given.

The Power of Proper Life Trellis - Pastor Josh Reece - 1.4.26 by Vertical Church

Vision Sunday is always a moment to pause, look back with gratitude, and look forward with clarity. In this message, Pastor Josh reflects on what God has done over the past year at Church on the Rock and where He is leading us next. From lives changed and baptisms celebrated to missions expanded and new discipleship pathways formed, this isn't a story about numbers or growth for growth's sake. It's about faithfulness. Drawing from Matthew 25, Psalm 143, and Jesus' compassion for the crowds in Matthew 9, we're reminded that fruit is always the result of faithfulness and that God entrusts more to those who steward well what's already in their hands. As we step into a new year, this message calls every person to take personal ownership of discipleship. Discipleship is not something done to us; it's who we are. You'll hear why we're launching Thursday night services, how this creates space for our plus ones, and why 100 percent participation remains our primary goal. Whether you're new, returning, or have called this church home for years, this message invites you to ask a simple prayer: “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.” If we remain faithful, we trust God to bring the fruit, together.   Did you accept Christ today?

In a message contextualized by the beginning of a new year, Family Life Pastor Josh Burfeind breaks down three questions that help believers look at their lives with a fresh perspective. Pastor Josh teaches on the balance of routines and abiding in our relationship with Jesus, the value of accountability and wisdom found in community, and the generational legacy that each of us is called to invest in now.

In this message, Pastor Josh introduces our 2026 theme at Overflow Church: The Beloved Gospel.Before we talk about what we do for God, we must settle who we are to God.Throughout the New Testament, believers are repeatedly called “the beloved”—deeply loved, cherished, and chosen by God. In the Gospel of John, the apostle refers to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” not out of ego, but out of identity. And that identity reshapes everything.In this message, we explore:What it means that God is a Lover, not distant or detachedWhy God's love is unfolding, constant, and inexhaustibleHow His love endures forever, untouched by our weaknessHow the love of God reveals our valueWhy God's love is meant to be encountered, not just understoodThis message is an invitation to move beyond fear-based obedience and rediscover a life marked by delight, intimacy, and belovedness.

Pastor Josh shares a message about God's goodness and His justice. How can we have peace with this not so paradoxical God?

As we close out 2025, Pastor Josh shares a reflective and encouraging message for our Central Valley Church family. This end-of-year message looks back on God's faithfulness throughout the past year—celebrating growth, salvations, baptisms, freedom, and the many ways God has moved in our church and in our lives. Pastor Josh highlights the key sermon series of 2025 and the three themes God has been shaping in us: growing deeper in our relationship with Jesus, trusting in God's sovereignty, and being transformed into the image of Christ. As we reflect on where we've been, we're invited to step into 2026 with confidence, hope, and renewed faith—knowing that God is not finished with us yet. We pray this message encourages you and prepares your heart for the year ahead. God bless you, and Happy New Year from Central Valley Church.

Pastor Josh preaches his Christmas Eve message concluding the Journey To Bethlehem series.

The lights are up, the sales are relentless, and “Christmas” is everywhere—but is Jesus? In this special holiday episode, Mike Slater asks the question every serious Christian has to face: How do we celebrate the birth of the King when the culture has turned His day into a frenzy of consumerism, sentimentality, and mandatory cheer? From Black Friday to office parties, from “Happy Holidays” to the war-on-Christmas noise, Mike cuts through the tinsel to talk about what it really looks like to keep holy days in a holiday world—without becoming a Grinch, retreating to a bunker, or pretending the tension doesn't exist. Practical, honest, and rooted in Scripture, this is Politics by Faith for the most wonderful—and most challenging—time of the year. This is part two of two. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever felt like you're behind in your journey with God, or like you missed a moment, this one's for you. Pastor Josh and Katie Rose dig into the idea of being behind in life, and how important it is to (like the wise men) have people traveling beside you.

Christmas is often painted as peaceful and predictable, but the true story of Jesus is filled with disruption, urgency, and unexpected turns. In this message from the Why So Merry? series, we step into Matthew 2 and the overlooked tension of the Christmas story, where Joseph is forced to uproot his family overnight to protect the very Messiah he was entrusted with. Through Joseph's immediate obedience and willingness to follow God into unfamiliar territory, we see a powerful picture of how God often works through unexpected change rather than around it. Loss, transitions, new callings, and sudden shifts are not interruptions to God's plan, they are often the pathway through which He leads us.   Did you accept Christ today?

Don't Mess Up Christmas - Pastor Josh Reece - 12.21.25 by Vertical Church

In this message, Pastor Josh continues The Gifts Jesus Brings series by focusing on the greatest and most transformative gift of all: love. Through Scripture and practical application, we are reminded that God's love is not earned, withdrawn, or limited by our failures. While we were still sinners, Christ gave His life for us. This love is the foundation of salvation, the power behind the gospel, and the force that transforms hearts from the inside out. Pastor Josh walks through how Jesus brings light, liberty, and life, all made possible through the overwhelming love of God. This message invites us not only to understand God's love intellectually, but to experience it personally, allowing it to root us, strengthen us, and change how we live. As we encounter God's love, we are called to respond by loving Him in return and reflecting that love to others through obedience, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and sharing the good news of Jesus. Whether you need a fresh reminder or a first encounter with God's love, this message points us back to the cross and the truth that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

We live in a world that often feels dark, broken, and heavy—but Christmas tells a different story. In this message from John 1, Pastor Josh reveals Jesus as the Light of the world, the eternal Word who stepped into our darkness.

This Christmas message reminds us that no matter how dark it feels, heaven is here—and the Light has come. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

In this LIVE FREE special episode, Pastor Josh responds to a recent clip featuring Kirk Cameron and his son James discussing annihilationism (the belief that the wicked ultimately cease to exist rather than experience eternal conscious punishment). With pastoral clarity and biblical conviction, this episode walks through what Scripture actually teaches about hell, God's justice, and why Christian doctrine cannot be reshaped by emotion or cultural pressure. This isn't an attack, but a thoughtful, Scripture-centric examination of one of the more complex doctrines in the Bible, and why getting it right matters more than we think.
