Transcribe →Mission's Emphasis Chapel 2025-2026: Ann Pretorius - Fields to Faith: When Ordinary Lives Meet God’s Power
Mar 1800:32:22Tap to summarizeAnn Pretorius shares her journey from being a farmer to leading major ministries in Africa, sparked by a miraculous healing that showed her God still works powerfully through ordinary people. Through their evangelistic ministry Jesus Alive, she and her late husband preached the gospel, trained leaders, and reached communities across Africa, while also developing humanitarian work that provides food, education, and long-term sustainability. She recounts intense personal trials, family tragedy, danger, persecution, and her husband’s death, but emphasizes perseverance, forgiveness, and relying on God’s strength. Her message highlights that faith must be both proclaimed and demonstrated through action. The core challenge is to live boldly for God’s purpose: think big, don’t shrink back from hardship, and use your life to bring both spiritual and practical transformation, trusting that God can multiply even small acts into lasting impact.
Transcribe →Worship Emphasis Week 2025-2026: Connor Girvin - The End of Self-Centered Worship
Mar 700:55:38Tap to summarizeThe message emphasizes Christ-centered worship, calling believers to move away from self-focused, preference-based worship to being fully satisfied in Jesus and His cross. True worship isn’t about style, feelings, or personal benefit, but about honoring God regardless of circumstances. Using examples like Mary’s sacrificial offering versus Saul and Ananias & Sapphira’s self-driven actions, the speaker shows that God values heart posture over outward acts. Worship rooted in love and surrender is accepted; worship driven by pride, image, or gain is not. The challenge is to examine our hearts, let go of preferences and self-focus, and become deeply satisfied in what Christ has done. When we truly grasp the cross, worship becomes a natural response in every part of life.
Transcribe →Worship Emphasis Week 2025-2026: Scott Laird - Worship from the Wounded Places
Mar 500:22:22Tap to summarizeThe message focuses on internal worship and healing, teaching that every part of our inner life, including pain, must “kneel” before God. True worship isn’t about outward expression but about surrendering our thoughts, emotions, and hurts to Him. Pain, whether caused by others or our own choices, can be redeemed by God and turned into something beautiful. Instead of letting pain define or control us, we bring it under Christ’s authority, where healing begins. The speaker emphasizes that healing is often a process, not a moment, and may require ongoing support. As we allow God to search and restore our hearts, our worship becomes more genuine, and our lives can bring healing to others.
Transcribe →Worship Emphasis Week 2025-2026: Dick Grout - Worship Without the Feeling
Mar 400:37:07Tap to summarizeThe sermon, based on John 4:23–24, emphasizes that true worship is grounded in honesty and faithfulness rather than emotional experience. The speaker explains that “honest worship” involves both being real with God about one’s feelings—even in moments of doubt, distance, or confusion—and choosing to continue worshiping Him for who He is, regardless of whether His presence is felt. While feelings are acknowledged as a gift from God, they are described as inconsistent and unreliable, making them a poor foundation for determining spiritual reality. Instead, the sermon highlights that God’s presence is guaranteed by His promises, not by human emotions. Ultimately, the purpose of worship is not to achieve a certain feeling, but to glorify God in spirit and in truth.
Transcribe →Worship Emphasis Week 2025-2026: Dominic Renaldo - Worship Beyond the Feeling
Mar 300:30:23Tap to summarizeDominic Renaldo teaches that worship is a response to who God is and what He has done, not just outward actions. True worship comes from the heart and isn’t based on feelings alone but on remembering God’s faithfulness. Even in difficult or ordinary moments, spiritual maturity means choosing to worship by focusing on God’s unchanging character. As we grow through Scripture and relationship with Him, worship becomes a natural overflow of a transformed life.

Transcribe →Missions Emphasis Chapel 2025-2026 - Rev. Matthew Slisher - Pray. Go. Proclaim.
Jan 2800:28:35Tap to summarizeIn a Missions Emphasis chapel from Luke 9–10, Matt Slisher challenges us to step into Jesus’ heart for reaching the lost. The message is rooted in the unchanging truth of Scripture, the faithfulness of God, and Jesus as our ultimate example. From there, the speaker walks through four simple but demanding commands from Jesus: Follow Me, Proclaim the Kingdom, Pray, and Go.Following Jesus means more than agreement—it calls for daily obedience and real discipleship. Proclaiming the kingdom isn’t just for missionaries or pastors; it’s the responsibility of every believer, wherever God places them. As we go, we’re called to pray for more workers and to see the world through God’s harvest-focused perspective. And when Jesus sends us, He does so with urgency, reminding us that obedience matters more than comfort or carefully laid-out plans.Students are encouraged to pray boldly, “Lord, send me,” stay open to both short- and long-term missions, and trust God’s faithfulness. The message closes with a clear call to courageously follow Jesus into the harvest.
Transcribe →Week of Prayer 2026 - Session VIII: Jonathan Bowden - Return to Reverence
Jan 1600:43:13Tap to summarizeThe message urges Christians to recover the fear of the Lord, meaning deep reverence for God’s holiness. It warns that many believers compromise by mixing faith with sinful behaviors and worldly influences. Using biblical examples, the speaker shows the danger of serving God outwardly while living in sin. The message calls Christians to repent, pursue holiness, and seek the Holy Spirit so they can live faithfully and shine as God’s light in the world.
Transcribe →Week of Prayer 2026 - Session VII: Rev. Melvin Cross - A Life That Speaks
Jan 1500:49:22Tap to summarizeThe message teaches that worship is meant to be a lifestyle, not just singing songs, and believers should live their entire lives devoted to God. Maintaining a sense of awe and wonder for God keeps faith alive and prevents it from becoming routine or empty. Using examples from the Book of Daniel, specifically stories of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the speaker explains that private devotion and faithfulness to God lead to influence and effectiveness in the world. Instead of conforming to culture, believers are called to stand apart and positively impact it. The central encouragement is to start living fully devoted to God now, allowing worship, character, and authenticity to shape everyday life. When people live this way, their lives themselves become a “microphone” that amplifies the message of the gospel.
