Commitment isn't starting strong—it's finishing well. In this powerful finale to the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why the middle matters most and reminds us that a waiting season is not a wasted season. From the Red Sea crossing to a life-saving pool story, this teaching will challenge you to keep moving even when it gets uncomfortable. Whether you've been tempted to pump the brakes when things got hard, or you're standing on the edge of something that feels impossible—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest conviction, and the power of perseverance. The thing you fear the most might just become the path to what you've prayed for the most. When we lose our awe, we lose our way. Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:21-31, Psalm 128:1-2 Big Idea: When we lose our awe, we lose our way. Awe doesn't come when we're standing still—it's born in the middle of what feels impossible. Key Quote: "The thing that they feared the most just became the path to what they prayed for the most. Sometimes the things we think are going to drown us are the very things God uses to deliver us." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why the middle matters: from what we can do to what only God can do How God builds faith before we have to step A waiting season is not a wasted season When faith and fear collide at the Red Sea The thing you fear most becomes the path to deliverance When we lose our awe, we lose our way Biblical prosperity: when everything in your life begins to thrive The pool story: when someone is drowning, jump in +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Facing a moment when you realize you're "flying the wrong direction"? This sermon from Dr. Roger Patterson, based on the story of Moses in Exodus 4, offers four essential principles for adjusting your course and moving forward in obedience to God. Dr. Patterson emphasizes that spiritual transformation begins with a change in direction, drawing a parallel with the story of "Wrong Way" Corrigan and the profound journey of Moses. Learn how to overcome the fears and private disobedience that hold you back so you can embrace God's plan for your life. In this message, you'll discover: Key Principles for Adjusting Course: 1. Be truthful with yourself and with others: Moses wasn't completely honest about his return to Egypt, driven by fear of his father-in-law and fear for his life. God's specific word to Moses—that the men seeking his life were dead—served as a reinforcement and encouragement against his fear. The practical question for us is: What fear is holding you back, and what one step will you take in spite of it? 2. When you take action, resolve the unresolved: You cannot move forward in public obedience while remaining in private disobedience. Just as Moses had neglected the covenant command of circumcision for his son, God will deal with a leader's unfinished obedience. This principle calls for repentance: owning your failures and agreeing with God, saying, "You are right, I am wrong". 3. Trust God to bring you the right people for the journey: God brought leaders like Aaron (spokesman, wingman) and others to provide capacity, strength, and a succession plan for Moses. The work God calls you to is far too great to do alone. Proverbs 24:6 states, "in the abundance of counselors there is victory". 4. Your aim is to influence others and show God's faithfulness: When you adjust your course and obey, others will see the faithfulness of God and join you. Your private faith is turned into a public witness. Dr. Patterson illustrates this with the life of Nelson Mandela, whose internal reorientation from anger to grace and revenge to reconciliation ultimately led to him influencing a nation. Action Points (The Four A's): Identify the direction of God's calling. Address the area he's asking you to surrender (Repent). Accept the help he's sending you. Act—take your first step today. Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:18-31
Obedience is partnership with God. In this powerful fourth message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God sometimes asks us to move before He shows us how and reminds us that what feels like silence might actually be God waiting for your yes. From the Red Sea moment to a compelling testimony about overcoming church hurt and financial mistrust, this teaching will challenge you to stop waiting for perfect clarity and start walking in faith. Whether you've been stuck asking God to move while He's been waiting for you to move, or you're wrestling with taking the first step without seeing the whole path—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest conviction, and the power of obedience. The miracle in your life doesn't meet you where you sit. It meets you where you step. Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:15-19 Big Idea: God's ability to do immeasurably more has never been the issue—our availability to partner with Him is. Move before you see, and God will move in power. Key Quote: "Obedience doesn't just activate God's power in our life. It also activates his protection and his provision. When we'll have the courage to move in obedience, he moves into position." ⸻ Topics in this Message: The difference between able and available: God's power vs. our partnership Why God sometimes stays silent when He's actually waiting for your yes How to shift perspective: stop looking at what's chasing you, focus on who's leading you The ordinary staff becomes extraordinary when obedience touches it Stretching before seeing: faith in action How obedience activates God's protection and provision From "What can I afford?" to "How will I stretch?" - Reframing commitment +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Sacrifice isn't just giving up—it's following through. In this convicting third message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why obeying God sometimes makes life harder instead of easier and reminds us that sacrifice is what carries us through the wilderness when surrender gets us out of Egypt. From the Israelites' panic at the Red Sea to a powerful testimony about Transform 850 saving a child's life, this teaching will challenge you to choose faith over fear even when the ground is shaking beneath your feet. Whether you've stepped out in obedience only to face more pressure, or you're wrestling with what sacrifice looks like in this season—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a defining moment for our church. God didn't bring you this far just to go this far. Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:10-12 Big Idea: Sacrifice is choosing to follow God where He's leading you, even if fear is trying to pull you back to what's familiar. Key Quote: "We want purpose, but we don't want to risk anything to get it. We want legacy, but we want legacy without sacrifice. But purpose and legacy only happen when we choose to follow God despite what fear is trying to convince us to do." ⸻ Topics in this Message: • Why obeying God sometimes makes life harder, not easier • The difference between surrender (control) and sacrifice (cost) • How fear turns faith into frustration and makes us blame leaders • Why we cling to familiar misery instead of unfamiliar purpose • Our church's Red Sea moment: choosing faith over fear • Transform 850 testimony: How sacrifice saved Aiden's life • What sacrifice looks like in this season +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Surrender isn't just giving up—it's setting up for breakthrough. In this convicting second message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God sometimes asks us to do things we don't want to do and reminds us that what looks like being stuck is often God setting us up to display His glory. From the Israelites' strategic setup at the Red Sea to the five practical steps toward surrender, this teaching will challenge you to stop running from the same struggles and start obeying what God has already told you to do. Whether you've been white-knuckling control or asking God to bless you while ignoring His word—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest confrontation, and a clear path forward. God's not trying to trap you. He's setting you up for freedom you've never known before. Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:1-4, Isaiah 30:1 Big Idea: What looks like being stuck is often God setting you up—the bridge between what God desires and what He does is our surrender. Key Quote: "We would rather have predictable pain than unpredictable purpose. That's why we cling to relationships, jobs, and habits that destroy us—because they're familiar." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why God takes us to places we don't want to go The difference between leaving Egypt and getting Egypt out of you What's your Pharaoh (addiction, shame, regret, habits) Five steps to surrender: trust, release control, obey, accept, expect Why blessing follows obedience, not the other way around The danger of walking away right before breakthrough How to stop asking God to move while refusing to obey +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Trust isn't just a feeling—it's a foundation. In this powerful opening to the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God often takes us the long way around and reminds us that those frustrating detours might actually be His mercy preparing us for what's next. From the Israelites' wilderness journey to a compelling chair demonstration, this teaching will help you move from believing in God to trusting in God. Whether you've been stuck asking "Why is this happening?" or ready to ask "What are You developing in me?"—this message is packed with biblical truth, practical wisdom, and a defining challenge. God's not just asking you to believe He exists. He's asking you to trust that He's able. Scripture Reference: Exodus 13:17-22, Ephesians 3:20 Big Idea: There's a massive difference between believing in God and trusting in God—and trust is the foundation for immeasurably more. Key Quote: "God won't bless a path that He didn't choose. We spend life exhausted because we're carrying a weight God never intended us to carry." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why God's detours are mercy, not punishment The difference between believing in God vs. trusting in God How trust shifts our perspective from "Why me?" to "What are You developing?" Three ways trust prepares us for immeasurably more Why God won't bless paths He didn't choose The chair demonstration: belief vs. trust in action How your faith becomes a testimony for the next generation +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Is God calling you to something more? Dr. Roger Patterson continues his series, "The Call of God," by diving into Exodus 3:1-12 and Moses' profound encounter at the burning bush. Drawing on his own personal story of spiritual wandering and a life-changing invitation, Dr. Patterson challenges us to ask: How does God get your attention, and how will you respond? This message will help you unpack three key principles for recognizing and responding to God's purpose for your life: Learn God's Heart: See the deep compassion of God in the Exodus story, a powerful forecast of the Gospel. Understand what it means to be prepared, not just zealous, for the work God has for you. Listen for God's Clear, Specific Call: Discover how the closer you get to God, the clearer His specific purpose for you becomes—and learn to honor the unique calling of others. Let it Humble You, But Know that He is With You: Embrace the humility that comes with realizing you can't do the task in your own strength, and rest in the powerful, unwavering promise of God's presence. God still calls, still stirs, and still captures people in the wilderness of their ordinary days and sends them into His extraordinary purposes. Have you said, "Here I am"? Key Takeaways from Exodus 3:7-12: The Exodus story as a picture of our salvation in Jesus. The danger of zeal without knowledge (Proverbs 25:2). The call to be humble (James 4:6). God's ultimate promise: "But I will be with you" (Exodus 3:12).
