Send us a textWhat fuels your daily decisions? Just as vehicles can run on different types of energy, our lives operate on either faith or sight. Pastor Sean challenges us to examine what's truly driving our lives and whether we're passing God's faithfulness tests.The message unveils a sobering truth: while everyone claims to be faithful, true faithfulness is exceedingly rare. God isn't just casually hoping we'll develop faith—He's actively searching the earth for people whose hearts are fully committed to Him, people He can strengthen and bless. This isn't about God withholding favor but about preparing us to steward greater responsibilities.Through a creative object lesson using different varieties of apples, Pastor Sean illustrates how we can test the fruit in our own lives. Are we passing the test of little things, where our private integrity shapes our public blessing? Are we acing the talent test by using our God-given abilities to serve others rather than ourselves? And perhaps most challenging, are we enduring the test of tough times with persistence rather than quitting when pressure mounts?The most profound revelation comes through understanding fruit development. Just as the sweetest Honeycrisp apples require the most "chill hours" (time spent in cold temperatures) to produce their superior flavor, our faith often needs seasons of pressure and discomfort to mature. Many of us pray for God to remove difficulties, not realizing these very challenges are developing the faithfulness He seeks.Stop running when circumstances get hard. Plant your feet where God has placed you and decide to be faithful—even when it's uncomfortable. Your spiritual fruit doesn't develop despite difficult seasons but often because of them. Let God find you ready and willing when He scans the earth for faithful hearts to strengthen. Thank you for listening to the Relate Community Church podcast!

In this challenging and timely sermon, Pastor Sean continues our Faithful & Brave series by exploring one of the Bible's oldest and most haunting stories: Cain and Abel. But this message goes far beyond ancient history. It confronts the dangerous idea that God's silence gives permission to our behavior and excuses in action when in reality, God expects us to know better—even when He doesn't speak out loud.

Standing firm in every storm: Established in Christ Jesus I The Standard | Pastor Sean Thomas

Pastor Sean finishes our study through the book of Ruth this week.

Pastor Sean Gleason's message Radical Love: Beloved Identity centers on the truth that our identity isn't found in what we do, but in being radically loved by God. Using Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus in John 20, he shows that when Jesus calls your name, He calls you “Beloved.” Pastor Sean explains that God gives new names in Scripture to declare purpose and identity, and that true transformation comes through receiving the spirit of adoption, not striving. Beloved identity breaks shame, ends competition, and leads to unity. We can only truly love God when we understand how deeply we are loved by Him.

Soar Like an Eagle | Revival Night | Pastor Sean Thomas

Suffering for righteousness is not a sign of abandonment, but a mark of honor for those who truly belong to Christ.Through Scripture, Pastor Sean reminds us that joy and glory are found even in hardship when we are suffering for His name's sake. The early Church rejoiced in their suffering, and we too are called to stand firm, knowing that God's Spirit rests upon us in those moments.Join us for this faith-strengthening time of prayer and reflection, and be reminded that your trials are not in vain. You are sharing in something deeply sacred—fellowship with Christ through His sufferings, which leads to eternal reward.
