Leading Your Soul
1w ago00:39:12Tap to summarizeSome mornings your soul wakes up before you do, already rehearsing everything that went wrong. The kicked toe. The job that fell through. The prayer that is still unanswered. In the final message of our Summer Psalms series, we open Psalm 103 and find David at the very end of his life, not waiting to feel grateful but commanding his own soul to bless the Lord. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2).Here is the good news: this message will not let you forget. God is not distant, and He is not finished. He is the One who forgives all your sins, heals your diseases, redeems your life from the pit, and crowns you with love and compassion (Psalm 103:3 and 4). Your circumstances were never qualified to lead you. Your soul is a wonderful follower and a terrible leader, and God is inviting you to lead it straight into worship.You will hear why worship is the lens through which you see God's goodness and not merely a reaction to a good day. You will be reminded that God does His best work while He sustains you in the struggle, not only when life finally goes your way. And you will be challenged, the way Psalm 46:10 challenges all of us, to be still and know that He is God.If your gratitude has been held hostage by your circumstances, this is the one you cannot afford to miss. The same God who carried David through caves and kings is present, active, and working for your good right now.Faith Family Church exists to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus. Wherever you are watching from, you have a place with us in Baytown, Crosby, La Porte, and at our Espanol campus.
Transcribe →Failure Isn't Final
2w ago00:38:35Tap to summarizeEvery one of us has something. Something we wish we could go back and undo. Something we have tucked away where no one else can see it. Something we hope nobody ever finds out about. And the question this message answers is the one every honest heart is asking. What do we do when the worst thing about us is true?In week four of Summer Psalms, we walk through one of the lowest points in David's life and one of the most honest prayers ever recorded. Psalm 51 was not written from a throne. It was written from the floor of a man who had failed and finally stopped hiding. And what God did with David is exactly what He still does today. He meets us in the mess and proves that our failure does not get the final word.You will walk away with three things to do the next time you mess up. Run to God, because the way back is always one step in His direction. Get honest, because healing starts the very moment the hiding stops. Receive restoration, because God is not pretending it never happened. He is proving that your sin does not have the final say.The story of the prodigal son reminds us that while we were still a long way off, the Father was already running in our direction. That is the heart of God for you today. He is not distant. He is not disappointed in a way that pushes you away. He is moving toward you with arms open wide, ready to put a ring on your finger and call you His own. If shame has been writing your story, this is the message that will help God rewrite it.At Faith Family Church, we are committed to leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus.

Transcribe →I Remain Confident
3w ago00:39:32Tap to summarizeFear is one of the most effective weapons the enemy has ever used against a believer. Not because it is powerful. But because it works. It distorts your perspective. It damages your memory. It disturbs your peace. And it will torment you if you let it stay.In week 3 of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Josh opens up Psalm 27 and shows us that fear does not have to win. David was surrounded on all sides. Arrows flying. Enemies closing in. And yet out of that place, he wrote some of the most confident words in all of Scripture. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?This is not the confidence of a man who is pretending the battle is not real. David never denied the difficulty. He just refused to let the difficulty define his conclusion. And the conclusion he landed on was this. I remain confident.Pastor Josh gives us three practical, faith-filled tools to overcome fear and step back into the peace and confidence God has always intended for His people. Pursue God's presence. Rehearse past victories. And expect God's goodness in the land of the living.Because here is the truth: Fear magnifies problems and minimizes God. But faith does the opposite. And this message will show you exactly how to get back there, no matter what you are facing right now.If fear has been stealing your sleep, your joy, your peace, or your confidence, this message was made for you.
Transcribe →What Do You Do When God Feels Distant?
4w ago00:32:08Tap to summarizeIf you have ever felt like God was distant despite doing all the right things, this message is for you. In the second week of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Mike LaBerge explores Psalm 13 and addresses a profound question that every believer eventually faces: What do I do when God feels distant? This is not just a theoretical issue; it's a real, raw experience that David expressed in one of the most vulnerable psalms in all of Scripture.“How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?” This question isn’t from someone who has given up on God; it comes from someone who loves God enough to be honest with Him. Pastor Mike demonstrates that this level of honesty is not a sign of weak faith; rather, it is the beginning of genuine faith.This message provides two powerful tools. First, it helps you assess what you are truly feeling and why. Have you drifted away from God, or is He trying to mature you through a challenge that cannot be rushed? Second, it offers practical ways to address those feelings through honesty, remembrance, and developing a rhythm that reconnects you with God.The truth is that God does not move away from us, but we have an incredible capacity to drift. The good news is that all it takes to return is a simple turn back to Him.
Transcribe →Turning Pressure Into Prayer
May 3100:36:32Tap to summarizeLife has a way of applying pressure that no amount of distraction can relieve. And if you are honest, the thing you reach for first when that pressure hits says everything about where your trust actually is.In this first message of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Grant Hoyle opens up Psalm 61 and takes us into one of the most raw and honest prayers in all of Scripture. David is not sitting on his throne when he writes this. He is on the run. His son has turned against him. His closest friends have abandoned him. The kingdom God gave him is collapsing before his eyes. And yet out of that place of complete overwhelm David writes one of the most faith filled prayers ever recorded.This message is not about having the right words when you pray. It is not about sounding spiritual or impressive. It is about learning what David learned in the middle of the worst season of his life. That real prayer begins with honest surrender. That pressure reveals where we run, but prayer leads us to the rock. And that remembering what God has already done is the most powerful medicine for a heart that is overwhelmed right now.If you have been faking strength while you are actually falling apart, this message is for you. If you have been reaching for every distraction available rather than bringing what you are carrying to God, this message was made for you. And if you need to be reminded that the same God who has carried you through every hard season before is the same God who is carrying you through this one, this message was made for you.

The Empowered Life
May 2400:42:09Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason you have been struggling to live the Christian life is not that you need to try harder, but because you have been trying to do it alone?In this message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh opens up John 14 and introduces us to the one Jesus called the Helper. The Holy Spirit. The person of the Trinity that most believers know the least about and need the most. This is not a message about weird religious experiences or things that make you uncomfortable. This is a message about the most practical relationship available to every believer. A helper who will guide your decisions, strengthen you when you are weak, give you boldness to share your faith, keep you from sin, produce fruit in your life, and show you the path when you do not know which way to go.Jesus said those who believe in him will do even greater things. But He never said they would do them alone. He sent a helper. And that helper is available to you right now.If you have ever felt like Christianity was more of a struggle than a source of power, this message will change everything about how you see your walk with God.
Transcribe →A Lifestyle Of Faith
May 1700:38:41Tap to summarizeWhat does it actually mean to live by faith?Not just believe in God from a distance, not just say a prayer when things get hard and hope for the best, but actually build your entire life on the foundation of who God is and what He has promised.In this message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh takes us into Hebrews 11, often called the Hall of Faith in Scripture. It is full of real people just like you and me who trusted God when they could not see the answer, who obeyed when they did not understand the plan, who gave when they did not have enough, and who thanked God before the breakthrough came. And who kept their faith even when things did not turn out the way they expected.If you have been stressed, worried, or wondering where God is in the middle of what you are going through this message was made for you.
Transcribe →A Shared Faith Is A Strong Faith
May 1000:28:53Tap to summarizeSomebody modeled a faith in front of you that made you wonder if what they had was real.In this Mother's Day message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh takes us into 2 Timothy and reminds us that the faith Timothy carried did not originate with him. It was passed on by two women who simply refused to keep their faith to themselves.And that is exactly what God is calling all of us to do.This message is for the mom who wonders if her faith is making a difference in her kids. It is for the person who did not grow up in a godly home and wonders if the cycle can actually change. It is for anyone who has been keeping their faith private when it was always meant to be shared.Because a shared faith is a strong faith. And your story might be the very thing someone else needs to hear.
Transcribe →Created For Connection
May 300:46:47Tap to summarizeYou were never meant to do this alone.In this message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh tackles one of the most misunderstood truths in the Christian life. We live in a world that has never been more digitally connected and never been more deeply lonely at the same time. And the answer to that loneliness is not another app, another follow, or another scroll. It is the church.Not a building. Not a Sunday morning routine. A family.Pastor Josh takes us into Acts chapter 2 and shows us what the very first church looked like when it was born. Three thousand people in one day. Devoted to teaching. Devoted to one another. Connected in a way that no technology could ever replicate. And he makes the case that this kind of connection is not optional for a believer. It is essential.You can pray on your own. You can worship on your own. But you cannot build a strong faith on your own. Because faith was never meant to be independent. It was meant to be shared.If you have been doing the Christian life in isolation, watching from the outside, wondering if you really belong, or coming to church for years without ever really connecting, this message is for you.You belong here. And your faith will never be the same once you find your place in the family.
Transcribe →Building Your Life On The Word
Apr 2600:44:29Tap to summarizeWhat are you building your life on?In this powerful message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh takes us to Matthew 7 and reminds us that every single one of us is building something. A life. A family. A legacy. And what we build on makes all the difference when the storms come.The Bible is not just a book with good ideas. It is the Word of God. It is living. It is active. And it is the only foundation that will hold when everything else shakes.Pastor Josh walks us through what the Bible actually is, where it came from, why it can be trusted, and most importantly how to get it into your everyday life so it starts working in you. Because there is a big difference between knowing the Word and living the Word.If you have been putting off reading your Bible, struggling to understand it, or wondering if it is actually relevant to your life right now, this message is for you.The storms of life are coming. Build on the rock.
