Paul calls the church to stand firm in unity, contend for faith together, and face opposition with courage. This message will challenge you to examine your conduct, deepen your commitment to biblical community, and live with bold faith in a culture that often pushes back against the Gospel.

What Are You Living For? | Phlippians 1:12-26 Sermon
Feb 800:41:53Tap to summarizeWhat are you really living for? In Week 2 of our study through Philippians, we unpack Paul's bold words in Philippians 1:21 "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." From a prison cell, Paul shows us how joy, purpose, and courage are found when Christ is at the center of it all. If your life is surrendered to Jesus, then both your living and your dying carry eternal meaning. Foundation Church Reaching the Lost.

Feb 100:44:13Tap to summarizeJoy That Runs Deeper: Philippians 1:1-11 What if joy isn't found in changing our circumstances, but in deepening our faith? In this opening message of Joy in the Journey, Pastor Jake walks through Philippians 1:1-11 to show how true joy is rooted in gospel partnership, spiritual growth, and a Christ-centered life. The Apostle Paul reminds us that joy grows when we remember what God has done, recognize who He is forming us to be, and remain confident that God will finish the work He started. This message sets the tone for the entire series, inviting us to discover a joy that runs deeper than success, comfort, or control, a joy anchored in Christ and shared with others. #JoyInTheJourney #Philippians #JoyThatRunsDeeper #SundaySermon #ChurchOnline #FoundationChurch #PastorJake #CitrusHeights

Built to Last | Week 4: How to be a church for the future
Jan 2500:45:08Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to build a church that lasts - not just for today, but for generations to come? In this message, Built for the Future, we look at how God calls His people to lift their eyes beyond the present and invest in what He is doing next. A future focused church isn't driven by comfort or nostalgia, but by faith, obedience, and a willingness to prepare the way for those who haven't arrived yet. This sermon challenges us to ask hard but hopeful questions. Are we building something that serves only us, or something that outlives us? What does it look like to trust God with the future while being faithful today? Whether you're new to church or have been part of the journey for years, this message invites you to take your place in God's ongoing work - because the best days of the church are still ahead.

Built to Last | Week 3: How to be Built for Others
Jan 1800:47:18Tap to summarizeBuilt for Others reminds us that faith was never meant to be lived in isolation. Jesus builds His church through people who live with a missional posture and a relational responsibility - sent to love, serve, and represent Him to the world. This message challenges us to look beyond ourselves and step into the calling of being ambassadors of Christ for the sake of others.

Built to Last | Week 2: Why We Build Together
Jan 1100:46:51Tap to summarizeGod never intended for us to build alone. In Week 2 of our Built to Last series, we explore how God forms His church - not as isolated individuals, but as a unified body built together in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 2 and 1 Corinthians 12, this message reminds us that belonging comes before building, and that every person has a vital role in what God is constructing. "Together We Build" challenges us to move beyond attendance and step into shared purpose, shared responsibility, and shared mission. When each part does its work, the church becomes strong, resilient, and built to last. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Corinthians 12:12.

Built to Last | Week 1: How to Have the Right Foundation
Jan 400:41:06Tap to summarizeEvery life is built on something - but not every foundation can hold. In Week 1 of our Built to Last series, we look at Jesus' words in Matthew 7:24-27 and the difference between simply hearing His words and actually building our lives on them. Storms are inevitable, but the foundation we choose determines whether we stand or fall. This message sets the tone for the year as we ask an honest question: What are we really building our lives on? and is it strong enough to last? Whether you're new to faith, rebuilding after a season of struggle, or looking to grow deeper, this message will challenge and encourage you to build on the only foundation that endures - Jesus Christ.

The Promise of Love - Jake Rayford (12-21-2025)
Dec 2100:42:17Tap to summarizeWe talk about love all the time - but God's love is different. It isn't earned, fragile, or conditional. It's steady, sacrificial, and personal. In this final week of Advent, we're reminded that love didn't stay distant. Love came near. And love has a name - Jesus. This message invites us to stop striving to be loved and start living from the truth that we already are. The Promise of Love is for anyone who needs hope, rest, and a reminder this Christmas season. John 3:16 Matthew 1:22-23 Ephesians 2:1-5 Romans 8:38-39 1 John 4 #thepromiseoflove #advent #love #godislove #pastorjake #jakerayford #foundationch #foundationchristianchurch #foundationchurch
