Use It or Lose It
Use it or lose it—recognize God’s ownership, invest with urgency, and receive abundant reward. Step into generosity today and experience the joy of being a faithful steward. Trust God’s promise to provide as you align your heart with His purposes.
The Heart of the Matter
Jesus teaches that our treasure reveals our heart—and invites us to invest in what lasts. This message calls us to wholehearted generosity, not as an obligation, but as an overflow of love for God. As we align our perspective, surrender our loyalties, and give with eternity in mind, we reflect the heart of our generous Father. In a world chasing temporary wealth, we choose the better treasure—storing up eternal reward and trusting God to provide.
In Process
As we begin a new year, Pastor Ben reminds us that life is a journey—and we are all works in progress. In this message, he encourages us to embrace the beauty of being "in process," without using it as an excuse to stay stuck. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical next steps, we're invited to keep growing spiritually by spending time in God's Word and following the way of Jesus each day.
A Weary World Responds
How do we respond when life takes unexpected turns? In this message, we learn from Joseph’s example as he faced confusion, heartache, and the mystery of God’s work in his life. His readiness, openness to wonder, and faithful obedience invite us to examine how we prepare our hearts and follow God this Christmas season.
A Weary World Receives
Christmas is about receiving the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Jeff explores how God sent His eternal Son to a weary world, not just to encourage us, but to save us and offer us abundant life. We’re invited to receive this love personally, moving from despair to true rejoicing.
A Weary World Awaits
Christmas is often marked by anticipation and waiting—something both children today and the people of Israel long ago deeply understood. In this message, we explore the profound hope found in God's promises, the dangers we face while waiting, and the unexpected blessings that come when we trust His timing. Discover how a weary world can truly find the thrill of hope even in seasons of delay.
Effective Praying
Prayer isn’t just a last resort—it’s our first response. In suffering, pray. In joy, praise. In sickness, ask for prayer. James calls us not just to hear these words, but to live them. Effective prayer flows from hearts aligned with God, and when we pray fervently, there’s no limit to what He can do in and through us.
Be Patient
In a world obsessed with instant results, Pastor Ben challenges us to embrace patience as we walk with Jesus. Exploring James 5, he unpacks the dangers of misplaced desires, the call to endure suffering, and the importance of integrity in our words. This message reminds us that true spiritual growth can't be microwaved—it takes time, perspective, and trust in God's timing.
Lord Willing
We all love to plan, but how often do we truly ask if it’s God’s will? In this message from James 4, Pastor Jeff challenges us to hold our plans lightly, seek God’s guidance first, and live with urgency because tomorrow is unpredictable and not guaranteed. Discover what it means to truly say, “Lord willing,” and live a life fully aligned with Him.
Overcoming Conflict
Conflict is inevitable in a fallen world, but James 4 offers a spiritual operating procedure for overcoming it. Discover how to recognize the true source of your conflict, realize its consequences, repent of your attitude, resist the devil, and run toward God. Join us as we unpack this powerful passage and learn to walk in the peace Christ offers.
Wise Up
Wisdom is more than knowledge — it’s knowledge applied. In this message from James 3, we’re challenged to examine whether our wisdom is truly from above or driven by selfish ambition. Real wisdom produces peace and righteousness, standing out boldly in a world filled with harsh voices. Learn what it means to live out Godly wisdom every day.
Tongue Twisters
Our words have incredible power to shape relationships, bless or harm others, and reveal the true state of our hearts. In this message from James 3, Pastor Jeff explores the "twists" of the tongue—how it is small but mighty, mighty but deadly, and deadly yet beneficial. Learn why surrendering to the Spirit of God is essential for truly life-giving speech.
How Real Faith Works
What does real faith look like? James challenges us to examine whether our faith is truly alive or merely words without action. True faith shows itself in love, service, and obedience, moving from our hearts into the world around us. This message calls us to a faith that is not dead or shallow but deeply transformative.
The Trap of Partiality
Partiality is not just a minor slip-up; it's a serious sin that goes against the heart of God. In this message from James 2, we explore how favoritism creeps into our lives and churches, and how to overcome it by judging correctly, living purely, and showing mercy. Discover practical steps to break free from this trap and embody the love and mercy of Christ in every relationship.
A Better Way
In this message from the book of James, we’re called to pursue a better way when it comes to anger and how we respond to others. Instead of reacting quickly, James encourages us to listen first, speak carefully, and act on God’s Word. True faith isn’t just about hearing—it’s about doing, serving, and blessing others with humility and compassion.
The Real Truth About Temptation
Temptation is more personal than we think—it doesn’t come from God or external forces, but from within our own hearts. In this message from James 1:13–18, we uncover three realities about temptation: where it begins, what happens when we don’t confront it, and how God's goodness is far better than anything sin promises. This teaching is a practical and honest look at what it takes to win the battle before it begins.
Words to the Wise
We are surrounded by promises and slogans from the world telling us how to find comfort, status, and success—but they rarely deliver. In this message from James 1, Steve unpacks three honest slogans for the dreams we chase and calls us to pursue what truly lasts. Discover how to find joy in trials, see the emptiness of worldly status, and receive God's wisdom that leads to real life.
Life as You Live It
When trials come—and they will—James challenges us to count them as joy, not because they are easy, but because they grow us into steadfast, mature followers of Christ. Rather than running from hardship, we are called to lean into it and discover God’s transforming work in our lives. This sermon invites us to see trials as opportunities for spiritual growth and completeness.
Kingdom Pursuits
Jesus calls us to pursue a different kind of wealth—one that can’t be lost or stolen. This message challenges us to evaluate where our hearts truly are by examining what we store up, whom we serve, and how we see the world. Instead of being consumed by worry, we are invited to daily trust and seek God’s kingdom above all else.
Kingdom Expectations
We all carry expectations—but Jesus offers us three expectations that reshape what it means to follow Him: giving, praying, and fasting. In this message from Matthew 6, Pastor Ben Marshall challenges us to examine the heart behind these practices. Are they done for show, or do they flow from a real relationship with God? Discover how Jesus leads us into deeper transformation by calling us into a Kingdom that’s upside down—and yet perfectly right side up.
