History is not moving aimlessly—it is moving toward the return of Jesus. At His ascension, the disciples were promised that the same Jesus they watched leave would one day come again.
In HIStory, Pastor Scott Meador reminds us that Christ’s return will be unexpected, personal, and final. Jesus is coming for His people, and He is coming to judge the world in righteousness.
That truth should change how we live today. Rather than becoming distracted or comfortable, we are called to live with eternity in view, pursue holiness, share the gospel with urgency, and be ready for the return of our King.
Abraham climbed Mount Moriah carrying a promise from God and a situation he could not understand. Yet when Isaac asked where the sacrifice was, Abraham answered with faith: “God himself will provide.”
In Abraham and Isaac, we discover that God’s provision is bigger than simply meeting a need. The language behind “the Lord will provide” carries the idea that God sees—He sees what is ahead, what we cannot see, and what will be needed when we get there.
When obedience leads us into places we do not understand, we can trust the God who already sees the ending. We may not know how He will do it, but we can trust that God will see it through.
In this message from our More Than a Story series, Pastor Scott Meador takes us into Exodus 14 and the moment Israel found itself completely hemmed in.
There was an army behind them.
A sea in front of them.
Mountains around them.
And no visible way out.
But sometimes it takes a tight place to break a lifetime habit.
When fear took over, the Israelites immediately wanted to return to Egypt. The pressure revealed that although God had brought them out of slavery, slavery had not yet been fully brought out of them. Their predicament exposed the places where they still depended on what was familiar rather than trusting the God who had set them free.
Noah lived in a culture moving farther from God, yet he chose to walk faithfully with Him. Before there was rain, an ark, or any visible evidence that God’s warning would come true, Noah trusted God enough to obey.
In this message, from our More Than a Story series, we discover that faithfulness will not always earn the approval of the people around us. God may ask us to live differently, stand firmly, and continue obeying even when others misunderstand or reject us.
Noah’s ark provided rescue from judgment, but his story points us toward an even greater rescue found in Jesus. Following God may not always be popular, but we can trust the One who remains faithful and leads us into life.
Daniel’s faith did not begin when he was thrown into the lions’ den.
Long before the decree was signed, the accusations were made, or the stone was placed over the entrance, Daniel had built a life of consistent prayer and devotion to God. When hardship arrived, he did not have to create a new spiritual response. He continued doing what he had always done.
In this message from our More Than a Story series, we look beyond the familiar image of Daniel surrounded by lions and discover how to remain faithful when circumstances turn against us.
And Daniel’s story ultimately points beyond Daniel. Jesus is the true Lion among the lions—the Lion of Judah who entered the darkness, faced death, and emerged victorious. Because He is with us, the circumstances surrounding us never have the final word.
Samson was chosen before birth, set apart for God, and empowered with supernatural strength. Yet the very gift that made him powerful became dangerous when he trusted his ability more than the God who gave it.
In this message from our series, More Than a Story, we see how Samson repeatedly ignored God’s boundaries, rejected accountability, and allowed hidden compromise to take control. His downfall did not happen in one dramatic moment—it developed through small decisions that gradually weakened his devotion to God.
But Samson’s failure was not the end of his story. When he finally recognized his need and called on God again, grace met him in his weakness. True strength is not found in talent, gifting, or self-reliance, but in a life surrendered and obedient to God.
Most people remember Jonah as the story of a runaway prophet and a giant fish. But at its heart, Jonah is the story of a man who received God’s mercy while resisting God’s heart for others.
In this message from our series, More Than a Story, we see God pursue Jonah, rescue him from the deep, and give him another chance to carry mercy to Nineveh. Jonah obeyed the assignment, but his anger revealed an uncomfortable truth: he wanted grace for himself and judgment for the people he believed did not deserve it.
Jonah resented mercy, but Jesus embodied it. At the cross, Jesus took the judgment we deserved so mercy could reach us. Now the mercy God gives to us must become the mercy that moves through us.
How long will you keep wavering between two opinions?
That was Elijah’s question to Israel on Mount Carmel. The people had not necessarily stopped believing that God existed, but they had divided their allegiance between the Lord and Baal. They wanted God without fully surrendering to God—and that divided worship had created an identity crisis.
In this message from our More Than a Story series, Pastor Chris takes us beyond the dramatic fire from heaven to uncover the deeper truth within Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal:
You cannot know who you are until you settle who God is.
Giants are real. They can appear as financial pressure, relationship struggles, sickness, fear, temptation, or circumstances that feel impossible to overcome. Faith does not require us to pretend those challenges do not exist. Faith faces reality while trusting that our God is greater.
In this opening message of our More Than a Story series, Pastor Scott takes a fresh look at David and Goliath and reveals that this story is about more than finding the courage to fight your battles. David stepped into the valley as Israel’s champion, fighting on behalf of people who could not win for themselves. His victory became their victory.
In the same way, Jesus entered humanity’s battle against sin, Satan, and death and defeated the enemies we could never overcome on our own. You are not fighting to earn a victory Jesus has already secured. Because of the cross, you can face every giant from a place of victory—trusting the true Champion who stands in the middle for you.
When life feels unstable, where do we turn for peace? In this message from Philippians 4, we explore how people in the Bible dealt with real uncertainty and how God meets us there today. Discover why peace often comes before change, how prayer transforms us before it changes our circumstances, and how God’s presence can steady us even when the future feels unclear. If you’ve been wrestling with anxiety, fear, or unanswered questions, this message will encourage you to trust God in the middle of the unknown.
Walls don’t just stand in front of us—they rise within us. In this powerful message from Joshua chapter 5, discover what it really looks like to face impossible barriers with God’s strategy instead of your own. When Joshua encounters the presence of God, everything shifts—because victory isn’t found in better words, stronger effort, or smarter plans, but in surrender to a greater authority. It’s time to see how God’s ways lead to a different kind of victory—and all you have to do is let go of control.
When life feels uncertain and everything around you is shifting, what do you actually have to hold onto? In this message, “Give Me Something To Hold To”, discover a call to live alert, stand firm in faith, and walk with courage and strength in everyday life. This message brings faith out of the abstract and into the practical—showing how trusting God isn’t just for big moments, but for daily decisions, conversations, and challenges. If you’ve ever struggled to stay grounded in your faith throughout the week, this message will help you find something steady, something true, and something worth holding onto.
What if the greatest battle of your faith isn’t happening around you—but within you? Mind Matters dives into the truth revealed in Deuteronomy 6 and Luke 10: loving God isn’t just about actions or emotions—it begins in the mind. Jesus made it clear that our thoughts are the tipping point of our faith, shaping what we believe, how we live, and who we become. This message challenges us to examine what’s filling our minds and invites us to align our thinking with God’s word—because when your mind is transformed, everything else follows.
Hope Story invites us into the powerful reality of what the Resurrection of Jesus actually proves for us today. Rooted in 1 Peter 1, this message unpacks a living hope that isn’t wishful thinking—it’s anchored in a risen Savior. Because Jesus walked out of the grave, our past no longer defines us, our present is filled with purpose, and our future is secure. This is more than a moment in history—it’s a story we now live inside of. If you’ve ever wondered what Easter really means for your everyday life, this message will help you see that hope isn’t just something we believe in… it’s something we’ve been born into.
What does victory in Christ actually look like? In The Spoils of Victory, the series The Revolution of the Cross turns from what Jesus defeated to what He now freely gives. The Kingdom of God is not built on external rules or personal preferences, but on the transforming realities of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Because of the cross, we don’t strive to earn what’s already been secured — we learn to live from it. This is the life Jesus purchased through His sacrifice. And if you want to know the real Jesus, look for the nail prints — look for His wounds — because every blessing we carry is a result of the victory He bore for us.
