Send us a textThe Healing SelfThe False Self | Part 2Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 28, 2025We all wrestle with the temptation to project a version of ourselves that hides our true fears, flaws, and struggles. As a result, many of us chase after approval, admiration, and accomplishments to fill the deep need of belonging. Pastor Keith shows how true freedom comes not through pretense, but by being fully known by God and anchored in His acceptance. Discover how to let down the mask and recover the true self God designed you to be._____________Discussion Questions 1. Where do you notice yourself most tempted to “wear a mask” or live out of a false self? 2. Why do you think seeking admiration, appearance, or accomplishments can feel so rewarding but ultimately leave us empty? 3. How does it change your perspective to realize that God is never disappointed in you because He already knows you completely? 4. What “useful lies” have you believed about yourself, and how have they shaped your behavior? 5. How has genuine community (friends, family, church) helped you see the “real you”? What makes an authentic community both risky and essential? 6. What is one practical step you can take this week to live more vulnerably and authentically with God, yourself, or others?

Pastor Keith shares a message from God's word about marriage and about who God is. Don't attempt to make marriage about you!

Blaze Church is a family with values that reflect the heart of Jesus. Our seven values—Jesus Over Everything, Every Person Matters, Always Do Your Best, Go Low, I Have a Next Step, Generosity Is Our Privilege, and Life Is Better Together—shape who we are and how we live. Like the early church in Acts 2, when we embrace these values, God adds to His family daily. Together we shine His light and build a culture worth reproducing.

I Timothy 2:8-15

This is Pastor Keith Allen's Sunday message, taken from the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 4, Verse 1.

Today's message from Pastor Keith Battle, You Have What You Say, Part 5, unpacks the power of faith-filled words and the importance of trusting God's unseen work. Just like Jesus' lesson with the fig tree in Mark 11, change often starts beneath the surface before we ever see results. Faith means choosing to trust God's promises even when life feels heavy with sickness, financial strain, or silent battles no one else sees. Pastor Battle encourages us to pray not just for changed circumstances but for maturity in the waiting. Our words, prayers, and praise are seeds that God waters in His timing. As we learn to speak life, surrender to His authority, and embrace our identity as His children, we discover true freedom and breakthrough.

Send us a textThe Healing SelfThe Broken Self | Part 1 Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 21, 2025We live in a world that throws away what's broken whether it's dishes, electronics, or people. But God is different. He seeks out the broken, treasures the shattered, and transforms our cracks into something beautiful. Like stained glass, He takes the pieces of our story and makes them shine with His glory. If you've ever felt discarded, unwanted, or beyond repair, this message is for you: God does His best work through broken people.____________1. Have you ever felt discarded, overlooked, or “broken pottery”? How did that shape the way you see yourself or others? 2. Why do you think God values brokenness when the world rejects it? 3. Which “coping style” (stuffer, pretender, firefighter, manager) do you most relate to—and what are its costs? 4. In what ways can admitting our brokenness actually open the door to healing and freedom? 5. What would it look like in your life for God to take the “shattered glass” of your story and turn it into something beautiful?

This is Pastor Keith Allen's Sunday message, taken from the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 3, Verses 20 - 21.

You Have What You Say Part 4 by Pastor Keith Battle by Zion Church

Life is hard—but you get to choose your hard. In this powerful message, Pastor Keith launches our new series Choose Your Hard. Drawing from Deuteronomy 30, he reminds us that God sets before us life and death, blessing and cursing—and calls us to choose life

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldWhataboutism | Part 10 Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 14, 2025Step-by-step throughout this entire series, we've been laying the foundation for Biblical, female leadership. We've looked at the two most commonly cited Scriptures (1 Corinthians 14.34-35 and 1 Timothy 2.12) that have been used to prohibit women from teaching or leading in church. What followed were 8 of the best examples of women who did in fact teach and lead, explaining their stories with the same detail Scripture affords each of them. As we wrap up the series, we're going to examine a handful of other Bible passages that are often misunderstood and misapplied as it relates to women in leadership. These messages have been an opportunity for us all to let Scripture speak for itself, sharpen our study skills and celebrate how God has used women and men throughout history for His kingdom purposes. _______________ 1. At the close of the series, Pastor Keith addressed some of the other more frequently asked questions regarding women in leadership? Have you ever been asked any of these questions? Which questions challenged you most? Would you answer any of these questions in a different way? 2. To be able answer objections to our faith, we need to be good students of the Word. In 2 Timothy 2.15 (New Living Translation), Paul reminded Timothy, “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” How do we become better students of the Bible? How do we find answers to questions we're asked? What resources have you found most helpful? 3. Christianity, especially in its earliest days, enjoyed tremendous popularity with women. Many had never heard or experienced such a liberating message. To this day, women still make up the majority of professed Christians. What do you think draws women to the faith? Do you think the Church (as in the universal church or as it exists in the USA) is still valuing women like they were in the New Testament or are things changing? What has been your experience in church as a woman? 4. What impact, if any, has this message or series had on you personally? Do you feel better equipped to address the question of female leadership in the Bible? Which messages stood out to you most and why?

Pastor Keith shares a word about the togetherness and fellowship of the early church. We were not meant to walk with Jesus alone.

At Blaze Church, we believe the way we fulfill our vision is by living the pathway God has given us. In Ephesians 1, Paul prays that we would know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference. This is more than a church strategy—it's God's plan for every believer, and it's the mission that keeps us moving toward His vision.

At Blaze Church, we believe lost people matter to God, so they matter to us. In Luke 19, Zacchaeus looked successful but felt empty—until Jesus saw him, called him by name, and brought salvation to his home. His life was completely transformed. That same Jesus came to seek and save you. If you feel lost, He's looking for you. And if you've been found, He's sending us out together to help others find their way home.

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldHuldah | Part 9 Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 7, 2025Over the many years I have been a pastor, I've often heard people say, “God only raised up women as leaders when there was no man to lead.” It's such an ignorant statement and this Sunday's message is proof of that. Huldah was a prophet in the Old Testament. She lived at the same time as two other well-known prophets - Jeremiah and Zephaniah. Yet God used her mightily to turn the nation back to Himself and not because there were no men speaking up for God. God used Huldah because she had the message the king and the people needed to hear. If you don't know her incredible story, don't miss this message.Discussion Questions 1. Take some time to consider some of the parallels between the movie Hidden Figures and the women whose stories we've been learning about in this series. In what ways are they similar? In what ways are they different? Can you think of other historical examples where the achievements of women have been largely unacknowledged? Why do you think this has been true in history? Why do you think the stories of women in the Bible are often not told well or with the same level of detail that Scripture records them? 2. When you think about the span of time that passed between Solomon's generation and that of Josiah, 300 years seems like a long time but at the same time, it doesn't seem that long to actually forget God's Word, to abandon the Temple and stop celebrating the very feast that reminds you of why you are a people (Passover). What should we be learning from their failures? How might churches face the same threats externally and internally? Was anything in this account of how far God's people had strayed shocking or surprising to you and why? 3. Huldah is a prophetess whose authority and trusted position is beyond dispute. She is the first one sought out for an answer from God. Everything she said is received without debate or pushback. She validates the book they found as the Word of God and then interprets the book for their present situation. What stood out to you most in the telling of Huldah's story? Why do you think Huldah was unaffected and uncompromised by the corruption of Jewish society all around her? What can you learn from her example about being a thermostat instead of a thermometer? What spiritual disciplines do you engage in regularly to help protect you from corruption from within or without? 4. Take some time to look over the chiastic structure of the telling of Huldah's story. Why do you think the writer of Chronicles chose to emphasize Huldah over Josiah? Why does her prophecy occupy center stage in this narrative? 5. Huldah left an unmistakable mark on history, Jewish history, Christian history and even American history. What are some of the things that stood out to you about Huldah's legacy? Why do you suppose this woman, who inspired so many in history, and is the only woman to have gates in Jerusalem named after her, why is her story so relatively unknown today? What can you do to make sure others know about Huldah's inspirational story?

In this sermon Pastor Keith exaplains how Christians are called to be intentional in showing the saving effects of the gospel in their lives, being confident of God’s personal and continual work in them.

I Timothy 1:1-11

Your words carry power — and what you speak shapes the life you experience. In You Have What You Say Pt. 3, Pastor Battle teaches that faith is not passive —it's active, vocal, and expectant. Just as Jesus spoke to storms and commanded them to be still, we are called to speak to the mountains in our lives — fear, sickness, lack, or brokenness — and command them to move. God's promises are already paid for and waiting to be claimed, but it takes faith-filled speech to bring them into reality. Not everything that shows up in life should be accepted — just like refusing a wrong order at a restaurant, believers must boldly reject what doesn't align with God's Word. This message reminds us that unforgiveness and offense can block miracles, while bold confession and forgiveness open the door for God's power to flow. It's time to speak, believe, and receive—because everything you need has already been provided. Speak with authority. Reject what isn't from God. Guard your heart against offense.

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldLydia | Part 8 Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 31, 2025Lydia stands out in Scripture as both the first recorded European convert to Christianity and a model of faithful leadership. She turned her home into the earliest meeting place for the Philippian church. She also invested her resources and reputation in the spread of Christianity. As a businesswoman, she embodies the integration of faith, enterprise, and generosity, leaving a legacy as a trailblazer for women of influence in the story of the church._______________ Discussion Questions1. In Pastor Keith's introduction to today's message, he mentioned how not only in Scripture are more women than men recognized for their financial support of Jesus and Paul but in practical terms, that still is the case when it comes to giving among Christ followers today. Why do you suppose this is? Has this been a factor in your present or past relationships?  2. There are those in the church who object to women in leadership inside and outside of the church. How would I answer those objections today? What did you find most compelling in the Biblical argument that Pastor Keith presented today? Who are some of the women today that you admire as strong leaders, especially in regard to their Christian witness? 3. Lydia represents a convert who had some level of knowledge of the Hebrew God, His laws, His promises, and His people. Besides Jewish people, the God fears were a group specifically targeted by the Apostle Paul and his entourage because of that baseline understanding. In light of that, who are the people who are easiest to reach today and what groups represent a greater challenge? Why do you feel that way? 4. The two best evidences of the genuineness of Lydia's conversion were her immediate willingness to publicly identify with Christ in baptism AND to welcome these strangers into her home (hospitality – love of the stranger). How well does the American church show these two pieces of evidence today? If you feel like the church is lacking in one of these areas, what do you think needs to be done to change that? 5. There are two themes running through the book of Acts. One is the transition from being an exclusively Jewish faith to becoming a more inclusive Christian faith. What are some of the challenges the church faced? How did they overcome the challenges? The other transition was from a centralized faith around the institution of the Temple to a decentralized faith built around the household (oikos). What are the challenges the church faced with this transition? 6. As we rapidly approach the conclusion of this series, where have you been challenged most? What have you learned that you didn't know prior to this series? What new appreciation do you have for the female leaders of Scripture? How does any of this affect your daily walk with God?

Pastor Keith shares a message about truth that releases us from fear. 

A study through the gospel of John. Pastor Keith spoke on how when Jesus moves sometimes it's not what you think!

In this impactful sermon, Pastor Battle unpacks the power of faith as both a spiritual foundation and a prophetic force that shapes our lives. Drawing from biblical examples like Elizabeth and Mary, the woman with the issue of blood, and the prodigal son, he emphasizes the importance of trusting God, speaking to our obstacles, and aligning our hearts and mouths with His Word. From defining your mountain to understanding that faith has a sound, this message encourages believers to feed their faith, make bold confessions, and walk in expectation of God's favor and breakthrough.

In this sermon Pastor Keith explaisn how the gospel will advance even in the face of opposition, and seeing life through a gospel lens, will fuel our joy, hope, and courage.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

In this sermon, Pastor Keith examines the battle of counsels, God's hidden providence, and God's surprising provision in Absalom's rebellion. Through Ahithophel's highly probable plan, Hushai's counter-counsel, the courage of unnamed servants, and the unexpected generosity of unlikely allies, we see that behind every scene, the Lord sovereignly frustrates the wisdom of the wicked to preserve His anointed king. Pastor Keith calls us to walk by faith and trust the God who overruled the wisdom of the wicked for David's deliverance, and who has ultimately overruled sin, Satan, and death through the cross and resurrection of King Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 9:13 - 10:20

Pastor Keith shares an encouraging message from God's Word!

What makes a church… a church? It's not the building—it's the people. Acts 2 shows us the early church wasn't built on walls but on devotion: to God's Word, to each other, to the table, and to prayer. This isn't a moment—it's a movement. And even though Blaze Church is portable now, we're still the Church. As we stay devoted, we'll see awe, unity, joy, growth, and salvation. This is Church. Let's be it—right here, right now.

Love isn't something we do- love is who we are. But just like everything in the Kingdom that is ours because of Jesus, we have to learn to activate love by faith! Check out Pastor Keith Null's newest message, “Turn Your Love On!"

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldMary | Part 6Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 3, 2025Mary is the fourth-most mentioned New Testament character after Jesus, Peter, and Paul. Yet in the average Protestant church, she is typically ignored. Rarely will you hear a message devoted just to telling Mary's story. Or if you do, it sounds more like a sappy Hallmark commercial than the portrait we actually see of her in Scripture. It's time we get to know this prophetic, powerful woman who consistently points us to Jesus.____________Discussion Questions 1. What perceptions did you have of Mary before hearing today's message? If you have a church background, what sort of teaching did you have from pastors or other leaders in your church? If you have no church background, what was your understanding of Mary? 2. The level of poverty in first century Palestine was severe – affecting the vast majority of those who lived there. It's something that the holy family (Mary, Joseph and Jesus) experienced daily both personally and socially. People were hungry for hope in the midst of economic despair. Mary's song prophesies a new reality. In what ways has the church throughout the ages addressed the problems of poverty? If you don't know the answer to this question, use it as your homework assignment. 3. In this message, Pastor Keith addressed Mary's calling, her prophecy, how she prophecies, her Scriptural knowledge, and the things she predicted about her Son. Have you ever thought of Mary as a prophet? What stood out to you most about this? Why do you think so many churches downplay Mary's role as a prophet?  4. When it comes to the telling of the Christmas story, Pastor Keith laid the blame at the feet of the Church that has often watered down the radical and revolutionary message of Mary. Why is the church often the ones most guilty of telling a truncated, sanitized, overly simplified Christmas story? Luke's gospel is the most common Scripture read as it relates to Christmas, but the part about the Magnificat is almost always left out. Why is that? 5. There are definite and intentional parallels between the story of Eden and the story of Golgotha. Take some time to review this part of the message. List the parallels you remember. Why does this matter? How does it reflect the amazing unity of Scripture?

In this sermon, Pastor Keith explains through the life and ministry of Paul how prayer and evangelism are the necessary means through which God works for the advancement of the mission of the church.

Ecclesiastes 9:1-12

Pastor Keith shares a challenging and encouraging message about compromises and the path of hope forward. 

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldElizabeth | Part 5Senior Pastor Keith StewartJuly 27, 2025Though only a minor character in the Christmas story, Elizabeth plays a major role among the leading women of the New Testament. Besides Elizabeth's influence on the young, pregnant Mary, there are many “firsts” associated with Elizabeth that the average Christian doesn't even know. Largely because there's been a tendency in church history to diminish Elizabeth and treat her time with Mary as little more than a protracted baby shower. It's past time we restore her rightful place among Bible leaders. __________________DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. What surprised you in this message today?2. Why do you think Mary wanted to see her relative Elizabeth? What do you think Mary hoped to get out of the visit? 3. How does Elizabeth respond to Mary and why? How else could she have responded? 4. Have you ever had someone like Elizabeth in your life? Studies have found that adolescents thrive when they have at least one strong, sustained relationship with a significant adult, this can be a coach, a teacher, an extended family member, youth pastor, small group leader, etc.. Who besides your parents have made significant contributions to your life especially in an area where you were struggling, growing, or learning? How did they help you? How are you different today as a result of their influence? Have you ever been that kind of person for someone else? Why or why not? 5. We often have the opposite view of blessing from Scripture. Too often, we equate blessings with money, health, and happiness. In the Bible, to be blessed was to be used by God for His kingdom purposes. How have you been Biblically blessed? Why are people so hungry to be blessed today? 6. Take a few minutes and bless one another. Remind one another of their belovedness just for being who they are. Think beyond what people do or even what they do for you and think about what it is about them that makes them the kind of person they are. Praise and bless that quality. 7. Mary is emboldened by her time with Elizabeth to see things as she never has before – especially as it relates to her purpose. Luke's telling of the Christmas story is revolutionary and so unlike the way we typically tell it today. Why do we do this to the Christmas story? Together read the Magnificat (Mary's song and next week's message) in Luke 1.46-55.

Offense is inevitable, but how we respond makes all the difference. In Part 10 of Living Without Offense, Pastor Keith Battle reminds us that living offense-free isn't about pretending things don't bother us, but about learning to forgive, put up with, and pardon others with the same grace God extends to us. Discover how to walk in love that's patient, powerful, and freeing — because forgiveness isn't weakness… it's freedom.
