This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 14 — the story we've been reading backwards. We make it about Peter's nerve, the brave step out of the boat, but the one who climbs out is the one who sinks, and all his courage gives him is three words: "Lord, save me." A word for the storms that don't wait for a good day, and the name that comes walking across the water anyway.Scripture references: Genesis 37:1–4, 12–28; Psalm105:1–6, 16–22, 45b; and Matthew 14:22–33 “LORD I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH” -- CCLI Song # 117947 |  Rick Founds  |  © 1989 Universal Music - Brentwood Benson Publishing (Admin. by Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing, Inc.)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Pastor Will explores God's vision for overcoming the divisions that separate us. Drawing from Ephesians, he reminds us that Jesus doesn't create another camp—he creates a family. Discover how Christ calls us to move beyond attending church into shared life, belonging, and building authentic community across our differences.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14. When the disciples count only five loaves and two fish, they call it nothing — but Jesus offers a third way between leaving it all to God and carrying it alone: bring the little you have and put it in God's hands. What might Christ do with the gifts we're tempted to call "not enough"?Scripture references: Genesis 32:22–31, Psalm 17:1–7, 15, and Matthew 14:13–21 “ALLELUIA” - CCLI Song # 7269101  |  Benjamin Hastings | Chandler Moore | Steven Furtick  |  © 2026 Also Also IndustriesPublishing; Music by Elevation Worship Publishing; For Humans Publishing; Maverick City Publishing  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Rather than waiting for better circumstances, we're invited to pray for our communities, invest in our neighbors, and take practical steps to seek the good of the places God has planted us.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Jesus' five parables of the kingdom in Matthew 13 — a mustard seed, a bit of yeast, a hidden treasure. The kingdom of God doesn't arrive as spectacle; it rises quietly in the ordinary and the overlooked. Where might you catch sight of it this week?SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Genesis 29:15–28, Psalm 105:1–11, 45b, and Matthew 13:31–33, 44–52“FAITH” --  CCLI Song # 3001613  |  Reuben Morgan  |  © 1999 Hillsong Music Publishing Australia (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on the parable of the wheat and the weeds in Matthew 13, and the instinct we all have to sort people into piles.

Discover how releasing what weighs us down frees us to run the race of faith with perseverance, experience deeper joy, and love God and others more fully.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on the parable of the sower and the anxious question of "enough" — how scarcity thinking can disguise itself as wisdom.

Pastor Will reflects on how worry often steals our peace, even during life's lighter seasons. Drawing from Philippians 4, he reminds us that Paul wrote about joy and peace while imprisoned, proving God's presence is greater than our circumstances. Instead of letting anxiety control us, we're invited to bring every worry to God and experience His peace guarding our hearts and minds.

Welcome to another episode of Reconcile Stories! Pastor Will and Pastor JayWill are at it again, and you never know what will happen in these conversations. But one thing we can always count on is that they will be honesty, challenge the status quo, and leave you challenged and blessed. And even the occasional laughter! This is a conversation everyone needs to hear, and a conversation that few people are having. Church planting is often measured by attendance, growth, and visible success. But what if those aren't the best measures of faithfulness? In this episode they reflect on the realities of planting churches in underserved communities. From answering God's call to navigating discouragement, funding pressures, community outreach, and years of slow growth, they share what they've learned about following Christ when ministry doesn't look impressive by worldly standards. Together they discuss the importance of long-term discipleship, building trust within a community, serving faithfully through hardship, and why relationships often matter more than programs. The conversation also explores the unique challenges of ministry in low-income neighborhoods and the need to raise up a new generation of church planters who are willing to count the cost. Whether you're involved in church planting, pastoral ministry, or simply seeking to faithfully serve where God has placed you, this conversation is a reminder that God's definition of success is often very different from our own.

Join us this Monday evening for a powerful discussion with Pastor Will Hobbs on 'Raising Expectations!' as he shares transformative insights on America's founding and the courageous individuals who shaped our nation's history. Amidst today's challenges, let's stand strong in faith, gratitude, and trust in God's unwavering presence, power, love and faithfulness that guides us. His plans unfold with purpose, bringing Him glory, us guidance, and demonstrating His love…Experience His peace that transcends understanding. John 14:27! Pastor Will and the 'Raising Expectations' team invite you to pray ahead, explore the facts, and discern your role in God's plans for your life and our nation. Celebrate America 250 and express thanks for God's blessings! A Fourth of July Conversation Rooted in Faith In this episode of Raising Expectations, Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Dr. Craig Thayer, and Ron Greer welcome Pastor Hill Hobbs of Kelview Baptist Church in Midland, Texas, for a Fourth of July-themed discussion about America's founding, Christian faith, civic responsibility, and the spiritual meaning they attach to the nation's 250-year legacy. Pastor Joe opens by reaffirming the show's Christian foundation and introduces the team before welcoming Pastor Hill, who frames Independence Day not merely as a civic celebration but as a holiday connected to gratitude, biblical principles, and the opportunity to live out faith in public life. Lives, Fortunes, Sacred Honor, and the Cost of Independence Pastor Hill reflects on the Declaration of Independence, emphasizing the risk taken by the signers when they pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. He notes that many were willing to face death, loss of wealth, and public disgrace if the Revolution failed. He also discusses the timing of the Declaration's approval, announcement, and signing, noting that July 4 became the public date of celebration even though the approval and signing unfolded across multiple dates. For Hill, the willingness of the founders to risk everything reveals the seriousness of the moment and the spiritual weight he believes they attached to America's beginning. The Founders, Prayer, and Christian Influence A major theme of the episode is the team's argument that America's founding was deeply shaped by Christian thought, preaching, prayer, and biblical principles. Pastor Hill cites John Quincy Adams and John Adams to connect Independence Day with gratitude to God, while Ron Greer discusses Benjamin Franklin's call for prayer during the founding debates. The group also discusses early congressional prayer, Bible study, the influence of pastors, George Whitefield, the Black Robe Regiment, and the way sermons helped shape the language and principles behind the Declaration of Independence. The discussion presents the founding not as perfect, but as intentionally aimed toward Christian moral order. Slavery, Jefferson's Draft, and the Imperfect Union The conversation turns to slavery as one of the great contradictions and sins in American history. Pastor Hill discusses Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence, which included a strong grievance against the king over the slave trade, a section that did not survive into the final version. Dr. Craig Thayer and Ron Greer then discuss the economic and social complications surrounding slavery at the time, while stressing that context is not the same as justification. Ron also brings up Anthony Johnson and John Casor as examples of the complexity of colonial slavery history. Pastor Hill grounds the discussion in Proverbs 14:34, saying righteousness exalts a nation while sin brings reproach. History, Churches, and the Responsibility to Disciple The panel repeatedly argues that America's current cultural confusion is connected to historical ignorance and the church's failure to disciple effectively. Pastor Joe contrasts the American Revolution with the French Revolution, highlighting George Washington's refusal to become king as an example of servant leadership. Ron Greer says that Christians must return to the Great Commission, not merely sing, pray, or attend services, but actively make disciples. Pastor Hill adds that what happens in the home is more important than what happens in the White House, because discipleship, character, and cultural renewal begin with families, churches, and one person influencing another. Young Men, Revival, and Hope for the Next Generation The episode also looks at younger generations with a mixture of concern and hope. Melba reflects on parenting, children's ministry, prayer for children, and the pain of watching younger adults drift from biblical values. Pastor Hill responds that social media can distort reality and that there are signs of spiritual hunger among younger people. Dr. Craig and Ron discuss young men returning to church, conservative campus movements, Charlie Kirk events, Christian schools, classical academies, and the renewed interest among some youth in meaning, truth, and faith. The panel sees these signs as evidence that the future is not settled and that revival or awakening remains possible. Duty, Responsibility, and Results That Belong to God As the episode closes, Pastor Hill tells the story of John Quincy Adams continuing to fight slavery after serving as president, even when he did not live to see the cause fulfilled. He summarizes the lesson with the idea that duty and responsibility belong to the believer, while results belong to God. Ron urges listeners to study American history and recommit to making disciples. Dr. Craig reminds listeners to remember why America is free, and Dr. Paul emphasizes the responsibility to guard and share that freedom. Pastor Joe closes in prayer, thanking God for the sacrifice of America's founders and asking for boldness, righteousness, love, and purpose as the nation celebrates its birthday.

Pastor Will explores how life's unexpected detours can become opportunities for God's grace. Through Paul's journey in Acts 16, he shows that closed doors are not signs of abandonment but invitations to trust God's leading. Rather than needing the whole map, faith means taking the next faithful step, trusting God to redeem every disappointment for His greater purpose.

Lead Pastor Will Ford teaches that the Lord's Prayer is a declaration of kingdom invasion, where believers contend for God's will to be established on earth and for deliverance from evil. Through the stories of enslaved Christians, abolitionists, revivalists, and intercessors, he shows how generations of prayer helped shape America's journey from slavery toward freedom, culminating in moments like Juneteenth. A central theme is that “Deliver us from evil” is not only a personal prayer but a family and national prayer, rooted in God's power to rescue people from bondage and restore them to sonship through Christ. Pastor Will ultimately calls the church to become a united remnant that continues filling the bowl of prayer, believing that what one generation plants in prayer another generation can harvest in history.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 10:24–39 and Jesus' unflinching word to those he sends: it will cost you something, and do not be afraid. Not because the cost isn't real — but because the God who counts the sparrows has counted you.“HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD” -- CCLI Song # 4348399  |  Chris Tomlin | Ed Cash | Jesse Reeves  |  © 2004 sixsteps Music (Admin.by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Vamos Publishing (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  | worshiptogether.com songs(Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Wondrously Made Songs (Admin. by Music Services, Inc.)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Pastor Will explains that chasing happiness through possessions, comparison, or cravings ultimately leads to emptiness and even harm. Drawing from James 1, he teaches that true joy is not found in striving but in recognizing God's unchanging goodness and gifts. By practicing gratitude and trusting God's provision, we receive lasting life and discover that the “good days” are already present.

Lead Pastor Will Ford teaches that the Lord's Prayer is not merely a prayer to recite but a framework that reveals how believers encounter God as both Father and King. Focusing on “Hallowed Be Your Name,” he shows that prayer begins with honoring God's holiness, carrying His name faithfully, and aligning with His kingdom purposes rather than our own. Through biblical and historical context, Pastor Will challenges believers to embrace their identity as sons and daughters, partner with God through prayer, and become living answers to the prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 9:35–10:8, where Jesus hands his own gut-level compassion to ordinary followers and turns them into sent ones. The grace is that the work begins before we ever know to call it ministry — something has been moving toward us the whole time.Scripture references: Genesis 18:1–15 (21:1–7); Psalm 116:1–2, 12–19; and Matthew 9:35–10:8 (9–23)“IT REALLY IS AMAZING GRACE” -- CCLI Song # 7260988  |  David Crowder | Jonathan Smith | Phil Wickham  |  © 2025 Capitol CMG Genesis; Inot Music; sixsteps Music; Be Essential Songs; Cashagamble Jet Music; Phil Wickham Music; Simply Global Songs | For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

This week Pastor Will takes us through Revelation 2

This podcast episode features Pastor Will discussing follow-up questions and applications from a sermon on Deuteronomy 29 titled "Covenant Renewal." The discussion contrasts the old covenant with the new covenant in Christ, emphasizing that believers' relationship with God is now built on Christ's obedience rather than their own. The episode addresses listener questions about early warning signs of apostasy, including diminished spiritual hunger, increased worldly appetite, and unhealthy friendships. It explores how adoption serves as an analogy for spiritual adoption into God's family and the complete severance from sin that should accompany it. The conversation also examines how doubts and questions, when brought humbly to Christ like John the Baptist's inquiry, can strengthen rather than weaken faith.

Pastor Will preaches on Hosea.

Pastor Will contrasts cultural ideas of freedom with Paul's teaching in Galatians, explaining that true freedom in Christ is not escape from responsibility but the Spirit-enabled ability to love. Selfish pursuits lead to bondage, while the Holy Spirit produces fruit—love, joy, peace, and more—forming real freedom lived out daily in relationships, service, and faithful obedience to God for believers today.

The sermon asks what it costs us to say the words I'm in trouble, and what becomes possible when we finally do. Scripture references: Genesis 12:1–9, Psalm 33:1–12, and Matthew 9:9–13, 18–26 “CHRIST IS ENOUGH” -- CCLI Song # 6514035  | Jonas Myrin | Reuben Morgan |  © 2012 Hillsong MP Songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Hillsong Music Publishing Australia (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  For use solely with theSongSelect® Terms of Use.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Acts 2 and the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost — not a blank Tuesday, but an ancient harvest festival already set aside for firstfruits. On Confirmation Sunday, the sermon asks what it means when the Spirit falls on all flesh, young and old alike, and whether we are ready to receive what God is bringing forth.Scripture references: Numbers 11:24-30; Psalm 104:24–34,35b; and Acts 2:1-21 “SOUL ON FIRE” -- CCLI Song # 7032679  | Brenton Brown | David Carr | Mac Powell | Mark Lee | Matt Maher | Tai Anderson  |  © Thankyou Music (Admin. by Capitol CMGPublishing)  |  Be Essential Songs (Admin. by Essential MusicPublishing LLC)  |  I Am A Pilgrim Songs (Admin. by EssentialMusic Publishing LLC)  |  Kobalt Music Copyrights SARL (Admin. by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc.)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Ascension Sunday and the question the angels ask the disciples standing slack-jawed on a hillside: Why do you stand looking up toward heaven? It's a question that still finds us — waiting for Jesus to come back and finish what he started, when the commission has already been handed to us.Scripture references: Acts 1:1-11; Psalm 47; and Luke 24:44-53 “LORD I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH” -- CCLI Song # 117947 |  Rick Founds  |  © 1989 Universal Music - Brentwood Benson Publishing (Admin. by Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing, Inc.)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on John 14:15–21 and what it means to live out Jesus' command to love. In this Easter season sermon, we explore how love is not something we earn, but something we live from—and how the Spirit abides not just within us, but among us. It's an invitation to see how Christ's promise is being kept through the life we share together.Scripture references: Acts 17:22-31; Psalm 66:8-20; John 14:15-21 “BEAUTIFUL ONE” -- CCLI Song # 3915912  |  Tim Hughes  | © 2002 Thankyou Music (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

In this compelling message, Pastor Will Ford explores what it truly means to connect with God through learning, drawing from Matthew 11 and 1 Samuel 22. He unpacks the biblical depth of knowledge and learning, revealing that true learning is not mere intellectualism, it is experiential, relational intimacy with God. Pastor Will challenges believers to move beyond accumulating information and to pursue the kind of knowing that transforms the heart and connects us deeply to our Rabbi, Jesus. Pastor Will warns that every person is yoked to something, whether to Christ, to religion, or to the ways of the world, and that yoke will disciple and shape every area of life. He calls the church to get so close to Jesus that they are covered in His dust, absorbing His teachings, His way of life, and His truth in every sphere of influence. This message challenges believers to embrace their cave seasons, because like David and his mighty men in the cave of Adullam, it is in the hidden place of learning and encounter with God that broken, distressed, and bitter people are transformed into mighty warriors. Your cave is not a place of defeat, it is a cocoon where God is preparing you for everything He has called you to do.
