From Highlight to Holy | Peter Reeves
5d ago00:44:40Tap to summarizeIn this message, “From Highlight to Holy,” we look at Proverbs 30:7–9 and the quiet danger of living for admiration, opportunity, and outward success while neglecting the condition of our soul.God is more concerned with holiness than He is with our highlights. Not every opportunity is our assignment, and not every open door is worth walking through if it pulls us away from dependence on Him.Together, we are reminded to keep eternity in mind, choose authenticity over admiration, pray for godly contentment, and daily consider the state of our soul.
Transcribe →Expectations | Pastor Sam Grosso
5d ago00:35:35Tap to summarizeIn Mark 1:35–39, Jesus is interrupted by Simon with a phrase many fathers know all too well: “Everyone is looking for you.”Work needs you. Your family needs you. The bills, the house, the church, and the people around you all seem to need something. But Jesus shows us that the goal of life is not to satisfy every demand — it is to faithfully fulfill the Father’s assignment.This Father’s Day message reminds us that contentment is not complacency. It is clarity. It frees us from the wrong expectations and helps us live with purpose, peace, and obedience to God.Everyone may be looking for you, but before you respond to everyone, make sure you’ve heard from God first.Scripture:Mark 1:35–391 Timothy 6:6
Transcribe →Power in Pain | Pastor Sam Grosso
2w ago00:44:45Tap to summarizePain is not just something we survive. It is often something God uses to shape us.In this message, Power in Pain, we explore how the way we handle pain directly affects the trajectory of our lives. Looking at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 1:4–6 and 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, we see that God comforts us in our suffering, strengthens us in our weakness, and uses our pain to minister to others.This message is a reminder that weakness is not the absence of God’s power. For the follower of Jesus, weakness can become the very place where Christ’s power rests.Pain may be real, but so is the comfort, strength, and presence of God.
Transcribe →Why should I do this | Pastor sam Grosso
4w ago00:44:45Tap to summarizeAs we wrap up our City on a Hill series, we tackle an essential question: What motivates our outreach?Many people care, but not everyone acts. While guilt, religious duty, and judgment can all produce temporary action, none of them reflect the heart of Jesus. In Matthew 9, we see that Jesus was moved by compassion—a deep, inward mercy that saw people, understood their condition, and moved toward them in love.This episode explores why compassion is the necessary fuel for healthy outreach and how believers can become people who don't just talk about loving others, but consistently live it out.A city on a hill isn't bright because it's impressive. It's bright because it burns with the compassion of Christ.
Transcribe →Abide in me | Pastor Sam Grosso
May 2500:45:32Tap to summarizequestion: how do we get salty and stay salty?In John 15, Jesus teaches that fruit is not produced through striving, image, or performance, but through abiding in Him. Before we can reflect Jesus publicly, we have to remain connected to Him privately.This message is a reminder that connection produces fruit, while disconnection produces performance. The invitation of Jesus is not to try harder, but to remain closer.
Transcribe →City on a Hill: Salt & Light | Pastor Sam Grosso
May 1900:42:24Tap to summarizeWhy are you here? Why now? Why has God placed you in this specific community, city, workplace, family, and season?In this message, we talk about what it means to resolve our location theologically. Through Acts 17, Jeremiah 29, and Matthew 5, we see that God is intentional about where and when we live. Our community is not an accident — it is an assignment.Jesus calls His people salt and light, meaning we are called to proximity, presence, and visibility. We cannot influence people we refuse to be around, and we are not called to hide the light of Christ in us. As followers of Jesus, we allow people to taste and see that the Lord is good through proximity, and we generate visibility for Jesus by reflecting His light.
Transcribe →Still Standing | Pastor Renee Grosso
May 1000:33:39Tap to summarizeWe don’t fight for the sake of fighting.We fight for the sake of truly living.God never called you into battle empty-handed. He equipped you with strength, authority, and the assurance of victory through Him.No matter the pit, process, or pressure —He can be found in every step leading back to Himself.Ephesians 6:10-13Psalm 40:2Ephesians 3:14-21
Transcribe →Distracted Digitally | Pastor Sam Grosso
May 300:46:54Tap to summarizeTechnology isn’t inherently bad—but it is shaping you.In this episode, we talk about what it means to live in a world of constant noise, endless scrolling, and algorithm-driven attention. Why do we reach for our phones without thinking? Why does it feel so hard to be still?This conversation explores how digital habits are forming our thoughts, emotions, and spiritual lives—and how we can begin to set boundaries that actually lead to freedom. Jesus doesn’t compete with noise—He calls us out of it.If you’ve been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or spiritually distant, this is an invitation to reset and refocus.Because attention isn’t neutral—it’s directional.
Transcribe →Distracted relationally | Pastor Sam Grosso
Apr 2600:41:48Tap to summarizeRelationships are powerful—but they can also be distracting.This week, we talk about relational distraction: how the people in our lives can subtly shift our focus, influence our decisions, and sometimes pull us away from what matters most.What does it look like to have relationships that actually lead you toward truth instead of away from it?This message brings clarity to that tension.
Transcribe →Distracted Emotionally | Pastor Sam grosso
Apr 2000:39:41Tap to summarizeWhat if distraction isn’t just about being busy—but about being emotionally divided?In this message, we revisit the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42 and uncover a deeper layer that often gets missed. Martha wasn’t rebuked for working—she was gently corrected for being worried and upset. Her issue wasn’t activity; it was internal agitation.That hits close to home.We live in a world where emotional overload is normal—constant headlines, pressure, fear, and noise. We’re physically present but mentally and emotionally somewhere else. Like Martha, we can be in the room with Jesus and still feel distant.But Jesus’ response reveals the antidote: “only one thing is needed.”This episode explores:Why emotional distraction is more dangerous than busynessHow internal division affects your peace, clarity, and connection with GodThe subtle ways culture shapes what you care aboutWhy humility is the gateway to freedomHow to actually “cast your cares” instead of carrying themThe world demands your attention—but Jesus invites your affection.And what you give your affection to will shape your life.
