Final Words
3w agoTap to summarizeAs part of our "A Good Word" guest speaker series, David Upchurch explores the incredible power of final words. He points to the exchange between Jesus and the thief on the cross in Luke 23, where Jesus promises paradise to a dying criminal. This moment highlights Jesus' lifelong mission to seek and save the lost, showing us that no one is beyond the reach of his grace. What does this promise mean for your life today, and how can you live with absolute certainty about your eternal future? Watch this message to discover the beautiful reality of heaven and find peace in Jesus’ ultimate promise to you
Transcribe →Known in Hell
4w agoTap to summarizeIn this message from the series "A Good Word," guest speaker Andrew "Fitz" Fitzgibbon explores the dramatic story of the seven sons of Sceva from Acts 19. These men tried to use the name of Jesus without actually knowing Him, resulting in a humiliating defeat. Fitz contrasts their hollow performance with the bold, fully surrendered life of the Apostle Paul, whose deep connection to Christ made his name known in the spiritual realm. True spiritual authority requires genuine relationship and the courage to clear away anything competing with God. Are you trying to power your life without being plugged into the source? Watch this compelling message to discover what it takes to live with authentic spiritual authority and find true freedom through the power of daily repentance.
Transcribe →God Meant It for Good
Jul 12Tap to summarizeAlex concludes the Genesis series by exploring the life of Joseph. Joseph stands before the brothers who betrayed him, holding the broken pieces of his past. Instead of seeking revenge, he offers mercy and points to God's ultimate plan. This powerful story from Genesis 50:20 demonstrates how God takes the painful, shattered moments of our lives and shapes them into a beautiful mosaic of redemption. Can you trust God's good intentions when someone else's evil actions have wounded you? Watch this video to discover how to name your hurts honestly, step down from the judgment seat, and experience the healing power of God's grace.
Transcribe →When the Past Comes Knocking (Genesis 42–45)
Jul 5Tap to summarizeYour past may come knocking, but it doesn’t have to define your future. Forgiveness acknowledges the hurt but opts for freedom over revenge. True change requires more than regret; it demands becoming a new person through God's grace. When old wounds resurface, trust that Jesus is present. He understands your pain, supports you, and is dedicated to offering healing, hope, and a brighter future.
Transcribe →Two Full Years (Genesis 40-41)
Jun 28Tap to summarizeTwo years can feel like a long time to wait. However, being overlooked by people does not imply that you are overlooked by God. Even during the waiting period, God is forming you, getting you ready, and utilizing your abilities in the place you are currently situated. It does not matter if you are experiencing a time that feels like a prison or a time that feels like a palace, it is important to remain loyal with what you have in your possession. Continue to be present, continue to have faith, and keep in mind that God is creating a larger narrative than what you are able to observe.
Transcribe →Run, Joseph, Run (Genesis 39)
Jun 21Tap to summarizeLife isn’t always fair, but God’s presence is always better than perfect circumstances. Like Joseph, we’re called to remember who we belong to and who we’re ultimately serving. When temptation or compromise comes, have the courage to walk away from what can destroy you. Stand confident—not because life is easy, but because God is with you.
Transcribe →God's Plan & Today's Pain (Genesis 37)
Jun 14Tap to summarizeDo not evaluate God's plan based on the pain you experience today. What seems like a setback could actually be the spot where God is creating something more significant. Individuals might alter your plans, but they are unable to hinder what God is accomplishing. Even the most difficult times are not without purpose. Have faith that the same God who acted through the cross continues to work in your narrative. Continue to move forward because your pain does not signify the conclusion of the plan.
Transcribe →Undivided Heart
Jun 8Tap to summarizeAn undivided heart does not occur by chance. It is constructed through individual choices made over time. Keep your feet firmly placed on the rock, let your mouth speak truth, keep your eyes focused on Jesus, and ensure your ears are attuned to joy. When life tries to pull you in various directions, it is important to remain grounded in what is most significant. Take one step today to realign your heart with God and observe how clarity, peace, and purpose start to develop.
Transcribe →Lost in Success
Jun 1Tap to summarizeSuccess can fill your schedule and still leave your heart empty. Just like Zacchaeus, it’s possible to have everything the world applauds and still be searching for something more. The good news? Jesus sees the people others overlook, and He invites us to do the same. Stop striving to prove your worth and let yourself be known by the God who already knows your name. Today, take one step down from the tree—let go of the pressure to perform, open your heart to Jesus, and discover the belonging you’ve been looking for all along.
Transcribe →God's Love Language
May 24Tap to summarizeObedience is more than following rules—it’s trusting God enough to take the next step, even before you understand the whole picture. The small choices you make in private shape the person you become in public. Every act of obedience today is preparing you for what God wants to do tomorrow. So if God is prompting your heart, don’t wait until everything makes sense—trust Him, move forward, and watch how obedience opens the door to growth, purpose, and deeper faith.
