The Trumpets Are Sounding
2d ago00:51:01Tap to summarizeThis message is both a warning and an invitation. God is patient, merciful, and trustworthy, but the call to repent and turn to Jesus is urgent. In the middle of chaos and suffering, believers are called to stay awake, remain faithful, and boldly share the hope of Christ with the world around them. VERSES // Revelation 8-11
Transcribe →Stand When Your World Falls
1w ago00:48:50Tap to summarizeWhat do you do when everything around you feels unstable, chaotic, and broken? In Revelation 6–7, the Four Horsemen reveal the realities of deception, conflict, famine, and death already at work in the world, but the story doesn’t end there. In the middle of judgment and suffering, God keeps His people, reminds them that the Lamb is still on the throne, and proves that evil will not have the final word. This message is a call to stay alert, stay faithful, and stand confidently even when your world feels like it’s falling apart. VERSES // Revelation 6-7
Transcribe →Is Anyone Worthy?
2w ago00:34:24Tap to summarizeCatch a glimpse into why why heaven erupts in worship, what it means that Jesus alone is worthy, and how the grace of God gives purpose, hope, and meaning to our lives today. The throne is occupied. The Lamb has won. And that changes everything. VERSES // Revelation 5v1-14
Transcribe →Anchored In The Throne Room
3w ago00:45:36Tap to summarizeMost of us spend our lives trying to control things we were never meant to control. In studying Revelation 4, you’ll discover one of the Bible’s most powerful images: the throne room of heaven. John discovers that the center of the universe isn’t chaos, politics, fear, or even ourselves—it’s God. This message wrestles with anxiety, control, purpose, worship, and why so many people feel spiritually restless. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s something bigger holding all of this together, this conversation is for you. VERSES // Revelation 4v1-11
Transcribe →The Empty Heart Of The Busy Church
May 400:45:36Tap to summarizeWhat if busy faith leaves you missing what matters most? In this message from Revelation 3, you’ll confront a hard truth: it’s possible to look spiritually alive on the outside, busy, growing, serving; while something deeper is quietly fading. Jesus challenges the church that had a strong reputation but an empty heart, calling them to wake up before it’s too late. VERSES // Revelation 3v1-22
Transcribe →The Offer On The Table
Apr 2700:44:13Tap to summarizeJesus writes to two churches that look faithful on the outside but are quietly drifting on the inside. One is holding fast in the obvious moments but compromising in the daily ones. The other is tolerating what it knows it shouldn't. Both are trading something for comfort, belonging, and survival — and Jesus wants them to understand the gravity of that trade. This week, we look at the letters to Pergamum and Thyatira and ask the question that runs through both: What are you willing to trade? SCRIPTURE: Revelation 2:12-29
Transcribe →When Good Churches Drift
Apr 2000:47:27Tap to summarizeWhat if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t failure, but slow, subtle compromise? This message is a wake-up call: you can be busy, disciplined, and doctrinally right… and still drift away from Jesus. If you’ve ever felt spiritually distant, worn down, or tempted to compromise, this message will challenge you to return to what matters most: a real, passionate relationship with Jesus and a faith that stands firm no matter the cost. VERSES // Revelation 2:1-11
Transcribe →Pulling Back The Curtain
Apr 1400:41:02Tap to summarizeWhat if the book of Revelation isn’t meant to confuse or scare you, but to strengthen you? In part one of a teaching series through The Book of Revelation, you’ll discover that it is a book about not just prophecy about the future, it’s a powerful reminder for right now. When life feels uncertain, painful, or out of control, you don’t need a smaller, more comfortable version of Jesus, we all need to see Him for who He truly is: sovereign, powerful, and present in the middle of it all. If your world feels shaken, this message will help you stand by giving you a bigger, truer vision of Jesus; the One who holds authority over everything, even death itself. VERSES // Revelation 1v1-20, John 12v23
Transcribe →Easter With Church Story: The Dividing Line
Apr 600:48:34Tap to summarizeThere is one question you can’t avoid: What will you do with Jesus? In this message from Luke 23, you hear about five people who encountered Jesus in His final moments before the crucifixion. Each one responded differently, and their responses reveal something about us. Some were distracted. Some were curious but unwilling to change. Some were prideful. One was guilty but set free. And one chose to follow. The question is the same today as it was then: What will you do with Jesus? This message walks you through how to move from uncertainty to full confidence, knowing for sure where you stand and what happens after this life. VERSES // Luke 23, Revelation 21, & Romans 3v23, 10v9-10
Transcribe →Winning The Battle Against Digital Distraction
Mar 3000:46:33Tap to summarizeSmartphones promise connection—but often deliver isolation. In this message, Wes will confront how technology may be quietly pulling you away from real relationships and a relationship with God. Through a practical strategy—FIGHT— you’ll discover how to set boundaries, eliminate distractions, invite accountability, and choose presence over screens. If you’ve ever felt more connected online but more disconnected in real life, this message is for you. VERSES // Luke 19v39-44, 1 Corinthians 6v12, Nehemiah 4v13-14
