In this message, Standing in the River, Pastor Josh explores how God meets us in seasons of transition, uncertainty, and waiting. Looking at Israel's crossing of the Jordan in Joshua 3, he reminds us that change is not a flaw in God's design, it's often where He does His deepest work. As we learn to fix our eyes on the unchanging presence of God instead of shifting circumstances, we discover a peace that cannot be shaken and the courage to step into everything He has prepared for us. Whether you're navigating a new season, facing uncertainty, or simply longing to trust God more deeply, this message is a reminder that He is with you in every transition, leading you forward one step of faith at a time.

In this message from Malachi 2:17-3:12, Pastor Josh continues Week 3 of our series, When Worship Grows Cold. Malachi reminds us that God is not silent when His people drift from Him. He calls His people back to repentance, obedience, and trust. Through the promise of the coming Messiah, we see that Jesus refines, purifies, and makes His people righteous before the Lord. This message also challenges us to return to the Lord in the areas where we have grown distant, including our obedience, our trust, and how we honor God with what He has given us. God's promise remains: Return to Me, and I will return to you. Scripture: Malachi 2:17-3:12 Series: When Worship Grows Cold Speaker: Pastor Josh Blair Thank you for listening, church. Let's keep the worship going!

Sunday June 21st, 2026Father's Day

What if you've been asking God for more when He's already given you enough? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks Jesus' teaching in Luke 17 and reminds us that forgiveness doesn't require extraordinary faith, just a willingness to trust God with the faith we already have. As we stay close to the Father and release what we've been carrying, we begin to experience the freedom that only forgiveness can bring.

Welcome to Week 5 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a message titled Freedom From Bondage. Bondage doesn't always look like chains. Sometimes it appears as fear, addiction, shame, unhealthy relationships, destructive habits, or thought patterns that keep us from experiencing the life God intended for us. In this message, we discover that while God can bring us out of bondage in a moment, He also desires to lead us into a life of lasting freedom. Through biblical truth and practical application, Pastor Josh challenges us to identify the areas where we may still be living captive and invites us to embrace the freedom Christ purchased for us. No matter what you're facing, God's desire is not simply to deliver you from bondage but to walk with you into a future marked by healing, restoration, and freedom. If this message resonates with you and you're looking for support on your journey toward freedom, we encourage you to connect with these trusted local recovery ministries: • Project Hope Recovery Center • Saving Grace Women's Home Freedom is possible, and you don't have to walk the journey alone.

Built for the Storm | The Book of Acts

Pastor Josh looks at Matthew 5:21-26 in our sermon series, Summer on the Mount.

In this message from John 15, Pastor Josh explains what it truly means to abide in Jesus, remain connected to the Vine, and allow the Holy Spirit to produce lasting fruit in your life. Jesus never asked us to manufacture love, joy, peace, or self control on our own. He invited us to stay close to Him and receive the life, grace, and transformation that only He can provide. Through John 15, Mark 12, Romans 7, and 1 John 4, this sermon explores the struggle between faith and failure, the difference between religious striving and genuine relationship with Jesus, and why loving God naturally changes the way we love others. Whether you are battling addiction, regret, disappointment, spiritual exhaustion, or the feeling that you will never be good enough, this message is a reminder that Jesus has already paid the price for your sin. Stop trying to behave your way toward God and learn how to rest, remain, and abide in Christ.   Did you accept Christ today?

What if the way we see children needs to change? In Psalm 127, we're reminded that kids aren't interruptions, inconveniences, or distractions—they're gifts from the Lord.

Matt Shiles and Pastor Josh Laxton discuss this first installment of the 2026 T.E.D series, dealing with sports in our culture. Matt guides Pastor Josh through laying out the foundation for this series and diving into some finer points of the first sermon.

In this message from Malachi 2:1-16, Pastor Josh continues our series, “When Worship Grows Cold.” God confronts the priests of Israel for their shallow worship, poor leadership, and faithlessness, but His correction comes from a place of love. This sermon reminds us that true worship is not just what we say or sing, but how we live before the Lord. As followers of Jesus, we are called to represent Him faithfully, guard our hearts, walk in integrity, and honor the covenants and relationships God has entrusted to us. Scripture: Malachi 2:1-16 We pray this message encourages you to draw near to God and keep your heart tender before Him.

We've all been there: you're trying to stay strong, but you feel like you're running on empty. This week, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are sitting down to talk about the spiritual fatigue nobody likes to admit to. What do you do when God feels completely silent? How do you keep going when you're just plain tired of holding it all together? We're diving into the messy middle of waiting, handling disappointment, and what it actually looks like to hold your ground when life gets heavy.

Just Gay-Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate Church

Welcome to Week 4 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh explores a struggle many believers know all too well—feeling close to God one moment and condemned the next. Looking at the life of Moses, this message reveals how shame, failure, and self-condemnation can keep us running from God's purpose and doubting His calling on our lives. While our flesh constantly reminds us of our mistakes, God's Word tells a different story. Through the truth of Romans 8:1, we discover that condemnation is not the voice of God. In Christ, there is freedom from the weight of our past failures and grace that is greater than our shortcomings. If you've ever felt like you've disappointed God, disqualified yourself from His plans, or struggled to move beyond your mistakes, this message will encourage you to embrace the freedom, forgiveness, and identity found in Jesus.

What if the greatest thief of your joy isn't your circumstances—but your comparison? In this powerful conclusion to the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Josh Whitehead reveals how coveting quietly poisons gratitude and keeps us chasing a life God never intended for us. Through the commands to honor your father and mother and not covet, we're challenged to embrace the life God has given us instead of grasping for someone else's.

What if spiritual growth is not something you force, but something that happens as you stay connected to Jesus? In this message from our From the Vine series, we continue in John 15 and look at what it really means to abide in Christ. The work of the disciple is not to manufacture fruit, strive harder, or earn the love of God. The work of the disciple is to remain connected to the source of life, and from that place, the Holy Spirit produces the fruit of God's character in us. Through John 15, Genesis 1, Galatians 5, Isaiah 14, and 2 Peter 1, this message explores what it means to be created in the image of God, to receive His divine nature, and to grow in a life that looks more like Jesus. Whether you are learning how to follow Jesus, trying to understand spiritual growth, or longing to reconnect with God in a deeper way, this message is an invitation to stop striving and start abiding. Stay close to Jesus, let Him shape your heart, and discover the kind of life only He can produce.   Did you accept Christ today?

Every relationship in your life is shaping you whether you realize it or not. In this message from the Life Advice series, Pastor Joshua Celestin explores Proverbs 27:17 and shows how the people closest to us can either help us grow or slowly pull us off track. Using the simple picture of iron sharpening iron, he unpacks how real friendships work through closeness, honest conversations, and meaningful change. This message will help you recognize the difference between relationships that only make you comfortable and those that actually make you better. Discover how to surround yourself with people who challenge, encourage, and strengthen your faith, and take a practical step toward becoming the person you are meant to be. (06/14/2026)

Fear is one of the most effective weapons the enemy has ever used against a believer. Not because it is powerful. But because it works. It distorts your perspective. It damages your memory. It disturbs your peace. And it will torment you if you let it stay.In week 3 of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Josh opens up Psalm 27 and shows us that fear does not have to win. David was surrounded on all sides. Arrows flying. Enemies closing in. And yet out of that place, he wrote some of the most confident words in all of Scripture. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?This is not the confidence of a man who is pretending the battle is not real. David never denied the difficulty. He just refused to let the difficulty define his conclusion. And the conclusion he landed on was this. I remain confident.Pastor Josh gives us three practical, faith-filled tools to overcome fear and step back into the peace and confidence God has always intended for His people. Pursue God's presence. Rehearse past victories. And expect God's goodness in the land of the living.Because here is the truth: Fear magnifies problems and minimizes God. But faith does the opposite. And this message will show you exactly how to get back there, no matter what you are facing right now.If fear has been stealing your sleep, your joy, your peace, or your confidence, this message was made for you.

Pastor Josh preaches the first two segments of the 2026 T.E.D. series about Faith and Sports.

In this message from our Relationships in a Broken World series, Pastor Josh teaches from Philippians 2 on the remedy for fractured relationships. In a culture marked by loneliness, distraction, self-protection, and radical individualism, relationships do not usually explode all at once, they erode slowly over time. The deeper question is not just how to fix a relationship, but who we are becoming in the process. This message identifies several forces quietly damaging our relationships: we stop showing up, we stop opening up, we stop understanding, we stop celebrating, and we put ourselves at the center. But Philippians 2 points us back to Christ, who moved toward us with humility, empathy, vulnerability, and sacrificial love. His example is not just inspiration, it is the pattern for how believers are called to live with one another. Pastor Josh calls the church to shared grace, Christlike humility, and relational healing by putting Christ back at the center. Isolation is healed by Christlike presence, self-protection by Christlike vulnerability, empathy collapse by Christlike incarnation, honor erosion by Christlike humility, and radical individualism by Christlike sacrifice.

Who do you hate? Pastor Josh starts a new series on the Sermon on the Mount with a message on the dangers of harboring contempt for another person. 

Pastor Josh hosts Pastor Andy and Pastor Aaron

In this episode of Side Notes, Psalm 96 comes alive as Pastor Josh and founding Pastor Tim Haring explore what it really means to “turn up the praise.” From singing as an act of formation to the weight of ascribing glory to God, the conversation moves between deep Biblical reflection and real-life moments that make worship personal. They also wrestle with how worship shapes what we believe about God—and what it means to live as people who carry that praise into the world.

Pastor Josh delves deeper into the book of Ephesians, exploring the blessings of God, the riches of Christ, and the prayer for revelation. It emphasizes the importance of the spirit of wisdom and revelation, the power of revelation, and the hope of His calling. In Ephesians, we explore the links with Isaiah 11, the return of Jesus and new creation and the inheritance we have through Christ. TakeawaysThe importance of knowing the hope to which we are calledThe transformative power of revelation and the spirit of wisdom The future hope of Isaiah 11 points to the return of Jesus and new creation.Understanding the purpose of God's kingdom and the riches of His glorious inheritance is essential for living.The immeasurable greatness of His power is available to believers and is a source of victory and hope.This message was recorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.#ephesians #inheritance #kingdomofGod #revelation #victory #perspective

Acts 26:24-32 | The Book of Acts

It's easy to talk about peace when life is smooth sailing, but what about when everything goes off the rails? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are talking about how to stop settling for "good enough" when it means caving on what's best and missing out on God's peace. Plus, we address the elephant in the room: how to keep moving forward when God feels totally silent.

In this message, we begin a new series through the book of Malachi. Malachi 1 reminds us that before God corrects His people, He reminds them of His love. But as Israel forgot what God had done, their worship became cold, careless, and half-hearted. This sermon challenges us to ask: Are we giving God what He deserves, or are we simply going through the motions? When our walk becomes weary and our worship grows cold, we need to turn our eyes back to Jesus. Scripture: Malachi 1:1-14 Listen, reflect, and let the Lord renew your heart in worship.

This message looks at the tension every follower of Jesus feels. We are saved by grace, not by works, but we are still called to walk in the good works God prepared for us. So how do we take real steps without turning discipleship into religious activity? How do we grow without making it all about ourselves? From John 15, Galatians 5, Acts 2, Colossians 2, and Ephesians 2, this message is a reminder that every step matters when every step is taking us closer to the Vine.   Did you accept Christ today?
