What if your biggest temptations are actually opportunities for your greatest victories? In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan Visconti unpacks the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Mark 1 and Matthew 4) and shows how it directly connects to the struggles you and I face every day.Jesus was hungry, tired, and alone, and the devil tempted Him to abandon suffering, abandon humility, and abandon God's plan. But instead of giving in, Jesus resisted with the Word of God. And because He overcame, you can overcome too.In this message you'll learn:• Why temptation always comes from the enemy, not from God• How to endure suffering instead of escaping it too soon• The danger of letting pride drive your decisions• Why shortcuts to success always lead to regret• Five practical ways to overcome temptation in your daily life.You're not the first to be tempted, and you're not alone. Jesus knows your struggle, He's with you in the fight, and He will help you stand strong.

Chasing after things that promise fulfillment but leave you empty? You're not alone. In this powerful message that kicks off our new series "The Prodigal," Pastor explores the timeless story of the prodigal son and reveals how to recognize the mirages in our own lives. From Wile E. Coyote cartoons to life-changing biblical truth from Luke 15, this teaching will help you stop chasing empty promises and start asking the right questions. Whether you're wrestling with disappointment, confusion, or wondering if God is really who He says He is—this message is packed with hope, grace, and practical wisdom. God's not just offering you His stuff. He's offering you Himself. Scripture Reference: Luke 15 Big Idea: Empty promises aren't just disappointments—they're invitations to something greater. Key Quote: "We ask God to do things in our life, but instead of trusting the Father for the outcome, we get upset when it doesn't happen the way we thought it should." ⸻ Topics in this Message: • Recognizing the mirages we chase in life • The difference between religious people and Jesus people • Why asking "what" instead of "why" changes everything • Understanding that you were made for more than this world • How God's grace meets us where we are • Finding fulfillment in relationship, not religion +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

The Power of Connection: Recharging Your Spiritual Life This message, titled "Soul Reset," is a timely and vital call to action for anyone who feels their faith is running on fumes. Pastor Ryan Kramer opens with a relatable analogy: the frustrating experience of a phone that's fully equipped but not charged. He connects this to the Christian life, highlighting a common struggle: we can have all the right "apps"—Bible study, worship, and community—but if we're not plugged into our power source, God, our spiritual lives will feel dry and underpowered. Drawing from Ephesians 6, Pastor Kramer explains that the Apostle Paul's instruction to be "strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" has two essential parts. The first is putting on the armor of God, which equips us for spiritual battle. The second, and often overlooked, is connecting to our power source—God's mighty power. He likens this to a soldier in battle: equipped with all the gear, but vulnerable and exposed without communication from their command. This teaching emphasizes that our spiritual disciplines, while good and necessary, are not enough on their own. They must be empowered by a deep, relational connection with God. Pastor Kramer provides a practical, 10-minute prayer framework to help listeners reset their souls and turn on the "faucet" of living water: -- Return in Worship: Begin with a time of worship, using a vertical song to focus on who God is, not just what you need from him. -- Express Gratitude: Shift your focus from what's missing to what matters by thanking God for His blessings. -- Ask for a Heart Check: Humbly ask God to reveal any unpleasing attitudes or sins, and ask for His forgiveness. -- Extend an Invitation: Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your steps, words, thoughts, and actions throughout the day. -- Take a Moment to Just Be: End with a moment of silent stillness, allowing yourself to simply be in God's presence and listen for His voice. Pastor Kramer concludes by sharing a personal conviction he experienced during a sabbatical: he was so busy doing things for God that he had neglected being with God. He explains that while the living water is available, it is not automatic—we have to turn on the faucet. This message is a powerful reminder that true spiritual vitality comes not from religious activity, but from an intimate, intentional, and consistent connection with the living water of Jesus Christ.

"The Cost of Being a Disciple" Pastor Ryan Myers 8.3.25

This sermon delivered by Pastor Ryan Neer at Tampa Life emphasizes faith and perseverance amid life's unexpected trials. He starts by recounting the Biblical story of Joseph's coat of many colors, focusing on how unplanned events can introduce unforeseen 'colors' or challenges into our lives. Using personal anecdotes, including the powerful testimony of his own mother, Pastor Neer underlines how these challenges can cause us to create enemies and declare death over God's promises. He encourages the congregation to embrace their destiny, release their grief, and allow the community to support their healing, ultimately reinforcing that God's plan is larger than any adversity faced.00:00 Opening Invocation and Worship00:51 Introduction and Personal Reflections02:30 Scripture Reading: Genesis 37 and 4506:17 Sermon Introduction: A Coat, A Context, and A Color08:19 The Story of Jacob and Joseph16:34 Life's Unexpected Colors19:29 Personal Anecdotes and Lessons27:35 Declaring Death Over Dormant Dreams28:07 The Story of Lazarus: A Lesson in Faith29:22 Don't Bury Your Destiny30:48 The Struggle of Jacob and Israel33:50 Living Beneath Your Potential39:13 The Power of Community and Healing41:57 Lorna's Story: From Pain to Redemption51:15 A Call to Reconnect and Heal

Pastor Ryan has the entire church help him preach an illustrated message. You'll understand as you listen. But the simple question is being asked; Is Jesus Enough?

"The Glory of the Groom & Bride" Psalm 45 Pastor Ryan Egli 1: The Glory of the Groom 2: The Glory of the Bride 3: Beyond the Wedding  

We all have a choice to make: Will we live a life that follows God, or will we go our own way? Psalm 1 lays it out clearly. There's the path of the godly — rooted, steady, fruitful. And then there's the path of the ungodly — unstable and leading to destruction. This isn't just about big life decisions, but the everyday choices we make that shape who we are.Pastor Ryan breaks this passage down verse by verse so that we can grow in our walk with God, and stay on the narrow path He has called us to.

This message will challenge your theology, confront cultural confusion, and open your eyes to the prophetic power of God's covenant with Israel. In a world full of noise, misinformation, and rising antisemitism, this sermon cuts through with biblical truth. You'll learn that Christians can get weird regarding the topic of Israel… don't be weird. Pastor Ryan unpacks God's promises, Israel's purpose, and how YOUR salvation as a Gentile was made possible through God's sovereign plan for Israel.Does Israel still matters in God's eyes? What did Paul mean by Gentiles being “grafted in?” Does the church replace Israel? How do I pray, think, and act with conviction in today's chaos in the Middle East? You will learn the biblical perspective a Christian should have regarding Israel.

In this episode Pastor Ryan and Corryn dig into some really practical coping skills that can be practiced in order to deal with trauma.

I'm going to say something that might shock you: Many of us — maybe even you — are far more prideful than we realize. You may be thinking, “Ryan, who do you think you are? You don't know me.” But take a moment and really think about it. None of us want to admit that deep down inside of us may exist something that says, “I don't need God” or “my way is better than His way.” Yet, that is what we are saying when we sin and decide to go against what God wants for us. When we sin, we consciously or subconsciously are telling God that our way is better than His, and this is pride. If we take an honest look at ourselves, we may realize that pride exists in many of us — to greater or lesser degrees.   This weekend we will dive into the parable of the pharisee and the tax collector where we are called to look inward at the posture of our hearts to see where pride exists. However, at the same time, in this parable we are shown what true humility looks like and invited to turn away from our pride and live as the humble sons and daughters who are bought by the blood of Jesus Christ and saved from our sins. I would love if you would join us this weekend at Illuminate as we journey through this parable together. See you then! 

"Let our home be the first place that our identity in Christ shows up, not the last." --Pastor Ryan Kramer In "Parenting God's Way," Pastor Ryan Kramer, fresh off sabbatical, dives into the crucial intersection of Christian identity and family life, specifically parenting. Building on the church's "Identity Theft" series, he highlights that knowing who we are in Christ is only truly meaningful when it's lived out daily, especially in the home where Satan often works overtime to derail our walk. Using Ephesians 6:4 as his anchor, Pastor Ryan redefines what leadership in the home looks like, moving from mere "being in charge" to "being Christlike." He unpacks common pitfalls that provoke children to anger, such as helicopter parenting, comparison, performance-based love, emotional absence, and unrealistic expectations, explaining how these behaviors can rewire a child's brain, diminish trust, and create a distorted view of Jesus. The core of the message shifts to Paul's positive instructions: "bring them up with the discipline and the instruction that comes from the Lord." Pastor Ryan offers three practical "handles" for parenting God's way: raising kids with grace (cultivating with compassion, where correction is wrapped in compassion), training with purpose (discipline as preparation, explaining the "why" behind rules), and teaching with kindness (gentle correction, being safe rather than scary). He vulnerably shares his own struggles with reacting in anger and the transformative power of a parent repenting and asking for a child's forgiveness, demonstrating true grace. The sermon concludes with a powerful challenge: to ensure our home is the primary place our identity in Christ is revealed, reflecting God's love, grace, mercy, and compassion to our children. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.
