Wake Up
Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time. Noah uses personal stories (a 12-hour drive to a sister's graduation, his grandfather's "battle clothes", a formative preaching encounter) to illustrate how easy it is to drift. He issues a direct call to reclaim private prayer, pursue holiness, and live urgently for the gospel because time is short and souls are at stake.

God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
How to Find Godly Friends | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that real Christian growth happens in committed local community, not in one-off mountaintop moments or casual attendance. Using Acts 2 as his primary text, he highlights the early church's devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, meals, the Lord's supper, and prayer, and shows how that commitment produced awe, generosity, miracles, and rapid growth.
I Need Peace | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preaches from Psalm 34 about finding peace not by escaping hardship but by learning to walk with God inside the 'cave' of suffering. Using David's life as the backdrop, he argues that peace is developed in detours and that praise, repeated seeking, and simple honest prayers are the means God uses to form us.
How to Overcome Anxious Thoughts | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 13:7-9 to show that anxious, negative thoughts can be changed by reorienting our thinking toward the consistent, gracious character of God. He argues that Christians often fill unknowns with worst-case scenarios, consume content that trains cynicism, and let inconsistent human leaders or past experiences dictate their view of God.
I Got the Bag | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) to teach that every follower of Jesus has been entrusted with a "bag" - time, talent, and treasure - and will be held accountable for how it's stewarded. The parable shows faithfulness is measured by multiplying what God gives, not by comparing amounts between people.
Do Your Job | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that work is part of God's good design - given before the Fall - and should be understood as worship, not punishment. He develops that idea by showing how the Hebrew word avoda links work and worship, urging Christians to do their jobs with excellence as an act of service to God.
Test God | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on tithing as part of a series on money, arguing that tithing is a biblical act of stewardship, not a burdensome law. He defines tithing as returning the first and best 10% of what God entrusts to us through the local church and roots that definition in Scripture (especially Malachi 3).
The god of Money | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin launches a multi-week series called "Money Moves," teaching from Matthew 6 that money can either be a tool or an idol. He argues that when money becomes a god in our hearts it blinds us, steals our joy, and competes with Jesus for the throne of our lives.
What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt centers the message on three short verses (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) as a simple, practical roadmap for what to do when you don't know what to do: rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances. He explains that rejoicing is a deliberate inward trust in God's character (not a fake happiness), illustrates the difference between formational (a dedicated 'mountain') and situational (all-day, 'walkie-talkie') prayer, and urges persistent, bold petitions.
Satan's Strategy & How to Overcome It | Madi Prewett Troutt
Madi Prewett Troutt warns Christians that alongside a good and real God there is a real, cunning enemy who aims to steal, kill, and destroy. She traces Satan's tactics from Genesis 3, grouping temptations into three recurring categories: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16).
There's Still Hope for You | Tanner Bezet
Tanner Bezet preaches from Luke 24 (the Walk to Emmaus) to show that Jesus meets discouraged people where they are and offers renewed hope. He walks through the Emmaus story: the risen Jesus joins two travelers who are walking away in despair, opens Scripture to them, and their hearts are changed when he breaks bread.
How to Make a Difference | Carl Kuhl
Carl Kuhl uses Nehemiah's story to teach how Christians can make a tangible difference in their families, churches, and communities. He begins by defining grace and telling missionary examples (the Moravians) to illustrate sacrificial commitment.
When Life isn't Fair | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens by naming the human instinct to track fairness - his “fairness meter” - and uses everyday examples to show how quickly entitlement and grumbling arise. He reads and explains the parable in Matthew 20 (the landowner and the workers), placing it against the rich young ruler scene in Matthew 19 to show what God values versus what people assume is fair.
How to be a Godly Dad | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 about what it looks like to be a godly dad. He organizes the message around Paul's four commands - be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong - and insists that all of those must be done within the container of love.
Is God Calling Me? | Austin Westlake
Austin Westlake preaches on the theme "living on standby" - being ready and available for God rather than merely saying yes with our mouths. He uses the disciples falling asleep in Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42) to show the difference between desire and discipline, and how routine can cause us to miss God's revelation.
When You Let Down the People You Love Most | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 21 about how followers of Jesus should respond to failure. Using Peter's return to fishing as the backdrop, he argues that the common responses - retreating, trying to earn back trust, or simply returning to what’s comfortable - are insufficient.
How to Get Debt Free | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preached from John 18, showing three pictures of Jesus at the garden arrest: Jesus the Lamb, the Lion, and the Lover. He uses the geography of the Kidron brook and the olive press to explain Jesus’ willing, atoning death (the Lamb), then shows Jesus’ sovereign authority when he says “I am” and the armed men fall (the Lion).
The Prayer Request of Jesus | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 17, calling attention to Jesus' longest recorded prayer and arguing that most of Jesus' concern at the cross is for his followers - their protection, holiness, and unity. Jesus prays not to remove believers from the world but to keep them safe while they remain on mission, and he ties the credibility of the gospel to Christian unity.
Is There More to God? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 16 with the central claim that God always has "more" - and that more frequently comes through the person and power of the Holy Spirit. He urges listeners not to settle for a two-thirds faith (Father and Son only) but to pursue fullness in the Spirit, who empowers believers to witness and make Jesus known.
Why Am I So Tired? | Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from John 15 about why we feel chronically tired and empty: we're trying to be our own source instead of remaining in Jesus, the true vine. She gives three checks for anyone feeling drained - check your source (Jesus is the true vine), check your posture (abiding is a continual dependence, not a perfect quiet moment), and check your fruit (visible evidence of connection with Christ).
Why Am I Anxious? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 14 to answer why Christians are often anxious. He explains Jesus' opening command, “Don't let your hearts be troubled,” and argues that persistent anxiety is inconsistent with trusting Christ.
Judas Went to Church | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin uses John 13 (the foot-washing and Judas' betrayal) to warn against a nominal faith - attending church without making Jesus Lord. He contrasts Jesus' final days spent giving and serving with cultural goals of personal comfort and retirement, arguing that true discipleship is sacrificial service.
You're Using God... | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 12, contrasting two responses to the resurrection of Lazarus: Mary’s grateful worship and Judas’s utilitarian critique. Mary pours an expensive jar of perfume on Jesus’ feet as an act of worship and surrender; Judas complains it’s a waste and argues the money should be given to the poor, revealing he views Jesus as useful rather than beautiful.
When God is Late | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 11 (the story of Lazarus) to address what to do when God seems late. He argues that Jesus' delay was purposeful: God sometimes waits so a greater glory, transformation, or platform for the gospel can emerge.
How Will God Judge Me? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches an Easter message centered on the resurrection as God’s decisive reversal of ‘it’s over’ moments. He opens by reminding the congregation that God can show up anywhere and that God specializes in flipping the least likely people and situations.
How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
How to Hear God's Voice | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from John 10 about how followers of Jesus can learn to recognize God's voice. He argues Jesus the Good Shepherd provides direction, correction, and protection for his sheep, and that hearing God begins by slowing down, being in Scripture, and obeying what God has already said.
How to Stop Sinning | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 8 (the woman caught in adultery) and argues that Jesus refuses the Pharisees' polarizing trap by choosing both grace and truth. Jesus stoops, writes in the dust, challenges the accusers ('Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone'), and then tells the woman, 'Neither do I.
Why the World Hates Christians | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 7 about why the world hates Christians, opening with a personal story of losing social-media followers after sharing his faith. He contrasts worldly measures of success with Jesus' priority of faithfulness and discipleship, noting Jesus often gave up popularity to speak hard truths.
Do You Know the Real Jesus? | Connor Crumpton
Connor Crumpton walks the congregation through John 6, showing how the famous feeding of the 5,000 becomes the setup for Jesus’ deeper claim to be the ‘bread of life.’ The crowd follows Jesus for signs and provision (their bios), but Jesus calls them to believe in him for zoe - eternal, abundant life - a single work God requires. When Jesus claims divine identity and speaks of eating his flesh and drinking his blood, many who chased miracles turn away.
Why God Won't Heal You | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through John 5 and uses the healing at the pool of Bethesda to answer two questions: Do you believe in healing, and do you want to be healed? He argues that God still heals (Hebrews 13:8, James 5) but John calls physical healings "signs" that point to Jesus, with the ultimate miracle being salvation. Jesus initiates healing, but people must respond - sometimes that response requires effort ("grace is not opposed to effort").
The Thirst for More | Madi Prewett Troutt
Madi Prewett Troutt preaches from John 4 (the woman at the well) about the universal longing for something 'more' and how people keep running to empty wells for satisfaction. She sets the scene (Jesus tired at Jacob's well, breaking social barriers) and shows how Jesus meets the woman's shame with compassion, offers 'living water,' and reveals himself as the Messiah.
How You Really Get to Heaven | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through John 3 using Jesus’ nighttime conversation with Nicodemus to explain what it really means to get to heaven. He contrasts external religion and moralism with the necessity of a spiritual rebirth - being "born again" - which is received, not earned.
When God says Take the Risk | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preaches through John 2:1-11, Jesus' first sign at the wedding in Cana, to show how Jesus calls us into risky obedience that reveals his glory. He traces the scene - Mary's plea, Jesus' cryptic response, the servants filling jars 'to the brim,' and the master of the feast declaring the best wine saved for last - and argues that the miracle happens when servants release what they have to Jesus in faith.
Life: What's the Point? | WAY Church at Home
This is the first message in a 21-week series through the Gospel of John. The preacher frames John's purpose: the gospel was written so people would believe that Jesus is the Messiah and have life through him.
Addicted to Approval? How to Quit Comparing | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin warns that an addiction to the approval of others - fed by constant comparison - will derail our obedience and calling from Jesus. He shows how comparison harms relationships (treating teammates like competitors), destroys contentment, and ultimately stops us from obeying God.
Quitting Porn for Good? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens with his personal history of struggling with pornography and cites research showing pornography use is widespread - even inside churches. He frames the issue theologically (temptation does not come from God; acting on temptation is sin) and explains pornography's destructive effects physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
Breaking Phone Addiction with Jesus | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that phones have become idols for many Christians because the time we give them eventually shapes our affections and requires sacrifices (presence, peace, purity, proximity to God). He traces the pattern: time spent -> idol formed -> sacrifices demanded, and uses Matthew, Colossians, and Philippians to show why guarding where we look and what we consume matters.
Sabbath Sunday | WAY Church
The pastor uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 1 & 3) to challenge the church to "stay standing" in 2026 - refusing subtle modern idols and small compromises that lead away from God. He argues that standing for holiness will look countercultural, often carries cost, and should be pursued in community rather than isolation.
Christmas Eve | WAY Church
The preacher uses a humorous Christmas top-five list and pop-culture references to lead into a short Gospel message asking, “Who is Jesus to you?” He explains the name Emmanuel - God with us - and argues Jesus is both fully God and fully man who entered our messy lives. The sermon emphasizes three aspects: Jesus is God, he meets us in the mess, and he is with us always (ultimately through the Holy Spirit).
My Missing Peace | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches about the experience of missing peace and points listeners to Jesus as the only lasting solution. Using the puzzle metaphor, he explains that peace isn’t the removal of problems but the presence of God entering our circumstances through prayer.
There Were Signs | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 that Jesus' birth included clear signs showing who he is, why he came, and who it's for. He argues the nativity is full of fulfilled prophecies that point to Jesus' divinity, uses the shepherds and wise men to show God's welcome to both the broken and the accomplished, and explains Jesus' mission as the sacrificial 'Lamb' who would die for sins.
How to Have Great Joy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 on how the Christmas announcement promises "great joy," and he explains how that joy is different from mere happiness. He argues joy is found first in a person - Jesus - not in circumstances, and illustratively points to Paul in prison (Philippians) as someone who exemplified joy apart from good happenings.
When You Feel Like Giving Up | Luke Lezon
Luke Lezon preaches from Jeremiah 12:1-5 to encourage people who feel like giving up on God's call. He explains Jeremiah's honest complaints - complaining, comparing, and craving comfort - and shows how those attitudes can derail a calling.
Why Would God Use Me? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin began by celebrating Way Church's generosity and the tangible outcomes from the "Only God" offering - church plants, missions, and thousands led to Christ. He read 2 Corinthians 4:7 and built the sermon around the image of believers as fragile clay jars who carry a priceless treasure: the life of Jesus.
Does the Church Need My Money? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches about money as a matter of discipleship and worship, arguing that the church's problem is bad branding around money, not the biblical teaching itself. He lays out seven biblical money principles: we are stewards, money won't follow us to heaven, God wants idols out of our hearts not our money, we are called to tithe, we give because God is good, we grow where we sow, and our money can advance the gospel in ways only God gets credit for.
Can the Devil Stop My Calling? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Nehemiah 6 to show how the enemy tries to stop God-sized work through discouragement, distraction, and attempts to discredit. He frames Way Church as a God-movement that must press on - "I am doing a great work; I cannot come down" - and exhorts people to respond by going all-in in church life, serving in weakness, and pursuing holiness.
The Risk of Not Following Jesus | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches that Christians too often 'predecide' what God can do by praying only for things they could accomplish themselves. Using the Roman centurion in Matthew 8 as his primary example, he argues that an "Only God" life requires unrelenting hope and a willingness to take risky steps that force God to act.
What the Bible says about Gender Roles | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Ephesians 5 about marriage, arguing that Scripture calls believers to both mutual submission to Christ and distinct, complementary roles in marriage. He warns that culture has given people a "watered down" view of Scripture and marriage, so he unpacks what Paul means when he tells wives to submit and husbands to love sacrificially.
How to Fight Right (in Marriage) | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens with a vulnerable story about an early marriage fight to illustrate how common and painful marital conflict can be. Using Song of Songs 5 as his primary passage, he shows that the root of most fights is selfishness and that marriage must be treated as a covenant (what can we get out of this?) rather than a contract (what can I get?).
How to Date Biblically | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin uses Song of Songs (chapter 2) as a framework to teach how to date with gospel-centered intention. He defines dating as an evaluation process to determine whether someone can serve, love, and run alongside you for life, and gives practical guidance on pacing, boundaries, and pursuit: men should pursue sacrificially, women may initiate but should not do the ongoing pursuing, and both should be clear and honest.
How to be a Godly Woman | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Proverbs 31 about what it looks like to be a godly woman, reframing the chapter as a practical call to holiness and mission rather than an impossible checklist. He outlines several marks of a godly woman: holiness (built on Scripture, not feelings), capability (being useful for God's mission regardless of marital status), trustworthiness, godly friendships, speaking life over her husband, sexual faithfulness within marriage, modesty, and knowing her value comes from the cross.
How to be a Godly Man | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Song of Songs chapter 1 about what it looks like to be a godly man. He argues that cultural messages devalue male leadership, but Scripture calls men to pursue Christlike character, protect sexual purity, provide for and value their families, and maintain a good reputation.
What the Bible says about Homosexuality | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens a six-week series on sexuality by working through Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians chapters 6-7. He argues that Scripture gives clear instruction about sex, marriage (one man, one woman), and gender, and that God’s design leads to human flourishing.
OBSESSED | Chad Veach
Chad Veach preaches from Ezra 7:10 and calls the congregation to be 'obsessed' with Jesus. He draws three practical steps from Ezra's devotion: learn the Word, live the Word, and teach the Word.
GO ALL IN | Jonathan Pokluda
Jonathan Pokluda preaches on what it means to "go all in" with Jesus, using his own story (a gambling anecdote) and the rich young ruler (Luke 18) as the hinge of the message. He explains three barriers that keep people from full surrender: thinking too much of yourself (self-reliance), thinking too much of the world (attachment to earthly things), and not thinking enough of the kingdom (undervaluing what you gain in Christ).
Much Fruit Church | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin celebrates Way Church's two-year story while recasting its founding vision: to "bear much fruit" by following Jesus, forming committed community, and living with a missionary mindset. He grounds the vision in John 15 (vine and branches), warns against making fruit-production the goal instead of intimacy with Jesus, and uses a farming metaphor to urge continual sowing.
Victory Formation | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin traces Jacob's lifelong pattern of manipulation back to the Genesis birthright story and shows how that pattern culminates in the night he wrestles with God (Genesis 32). Herrin argues that Jacob's prior victories over people were selfish and short-sighted - like Esau selling his birthright for stew - and that real victory in God's kingdom comes not from striving but from honest surrender.
Facing Giants | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Samuel 17 (David and Goliath) to show how God calls ordinary people to face extraordinary 'giants.' He argues fear often sidelines us because we are self-focused instead of God-focused, and reminds listeners that victory belongs to the Lord. Using David's shepherd-season as an example, he urges faithfulness in small tasks, community support, and remembering past deliverances to build courage.
It's Time to Clean House | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the temple-cleansing) to argue that Christians can and should 'clean house' spiritually. Jesus' righteous anger was aimed at those who were exploiting access to God, not at the sacrificial system itself.
WIN THE FIGHT | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin launches a series called "Win the Fight," teaching from Acts 19 about Paul and the church at Ephesus. He emphasizes that the Christian life is real spiritual warfare and that victory comes not by willpower or techniques but by the gospel, the Holy Spirit, and intimacy with Jesus.
Filling in the Gap | Gerald Fadayomi
Gerald Fadayomi preaches from John 6 about what fills the gap between our expectations and our experience when life (or God) doesn’t show up the way we hoped. He points out common responses people put in that gap - anger, doubt, shame, and control - and warns those choices lead to walking away rather than growing.
Sushi Covered Prayers | Torrey Herrin
Torrey Herrin preaches from Jonah chapter 2 about prayer, calling his theme "sushi covered prayers" to describe Jonah praying from inside the belly of the fish. He argues prayer is central to the Christian life - it starts and sustains everything - and shows how Jonah prayed Scripture (quoting the Psalms) when he didn’t know what else to say.
It's Time to Wake Up | Madi Prewett Troutt
Madi Prewett Troutt calls the church to wake up to the seriousness of sin, arguing that grace both saves and empowers believers to say no to ungodliness. She uses vivid illustrations (a mother grabbing a knife, a lifeguard warning about an undercurrent, Anakin's slide into Darth Vader) to show how small compromises grow into destructive sin.
The Value of Grace | Connor Crumpton
Connor Crumpton teaches on the value of grace, arguing that grace is not a cheap, everyday vitamin but the costly intersection of God’s perfect justice and overflowing mercy. He traces how Old Testament sacrificial practice pointed to a temporary, limited access to God and contrasts that with Jesus’ once-for-all substitutionary death and resurrection which satisfies justice and unleashes mercy.
What a Waste | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 14 about the woman (Mary) who poured expensive perfume on Jesus and was criticized as wasting it. He explains the setting - new believers gathered at Simon the formerly leprous man's house - and shows that Mary deliberately broke the jar as an act of costly worship that prepared Jesus' body for burial.
The Scariest Prayer You Could Ever Pray | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon addresses the tension between praying for good things and taking action - how to tell when you're moving in faith versus forcing outcomes. He introduces the “scariest prayer” to pray: surrender your request to God and ask him to bless it if it's from him or block it if it's not.
Fathers Who Fight | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Timothy (Paul's farewell words) to encourage fathers to be priority-driven rather than results-driven. He argues that fatherhood often yields mixed outcomes ('results may vary'), so dads should focus on controllable inputs: loving God first, casting a clear family vision, and fighting the right fights.
Staying Power | Aaron Burke
Aaron Burke preaches from Luke 24 on Pentecost about the importance of 'staying power' - the discipline of staying committed long enough to receive God's promised power. He contrasts starting power and stopping power with the often-overlooked need to stay, arguing that lasting fruit comes from consistency, not constant new beginnings.
All Roads Lead to God | Noah Herrin
Pastor Noah Herrin rejects the cultural claim that "all roads lead to God," arguing that Christianity uniquely and plausibly explains human need and rescue. He gives three reasons: Jesus makes the most intellectual sense (especially in light of the resurrection), Jesus is different because he came down the mountain to rescue us rather than requiring us to climb, and Noah's personal experience of meeting Jesus.
The Game of Venting | Connor Crumpton
Connor Crumpton argues that the common impulse to “just vent” is an almost-true response to anger, fear, and stress that often leads to gossip and more hurt when done by the world’s unspoken rules. He names those rules (just listen, no filters, no friction), tells a personal marriage story to illustrate the damage, and points listeners to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: God is the source of all comfort.
The War on Truth | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin warns that our culture's slogan "live your truth" is an almost-truth that plays into the devil's strategy of killing people through lies. Using John 8 (and other passages), he argues that lies are deadly because the human heart is deceitful and changing feelings cannot be the final arbiter of truth.
Meet Me In The Garden - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from Isaiah 51 about returning to the 'garden' - a biblical picture for intimacy with God - and invites listeners to meet God there daily. She contrasts shallow fellowship (talking about God) with true fellowship (seeking God), and lays out practical elements that make a spiritual garden thrive: Jesus as living water and light, Scripture and prayer as soil and nutrients, the Spirit as air circulation, repentance/pruning for pest control, and community as protection.
The Truth About Sex - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from 1 Thessalonians 4 as part of the “Almost True” series, correcting common cultural half-truths about sex. He argues that Scripture doesn’t restrict sex to diminish joy but to protect and enable the best sexual flourishing - holy sex within the lifelong marital covenant.
When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon challenges the common saying "God won't give you more than you can handle," calling it "almost true." He argues that the Bible depicts people repeatedly put into situations bigger than they could manage so God can build faith, character, and dependence on him - not to abandon them. Skeldon outlines six spiritual seasons (dry, waiting, grinding, testing, warring, rejoicing), describes signs and temptations for each, and explains the work God intends in them.
My Father Has It - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from the road to Emmaus (Luke 24) to address the deep disappointment people feel when the things they chase ('it') fail to satisfy. He argues that people often pursue 'its' - money, fame, relationships, achievement - in hopes they will bring meaning, but every 'it' underdelivers.
Discovering Your Five Fold Ministry Gift - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on the five-fold ministry from Ephesians 4, arguing that God wires believers with primary and secondary giftings - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds (pastors), and teachers - to build up the body and advance the mission. He reads Ephesians 4:1 and 4:11-12, explains each gifting's strengths, common occupations, and shadow sides, and insists these are functions/wirings (not titles or offices).
Make It Count - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) urging Christians to "make it count" by stewarding what God has given - time, talent, and treasure - for his glory. He emphasizes that God expects a return on his investment, so followers must obey quickly, multiply what they're given, and pursue godly ambition while remaining dependent on the Lord.
One More - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 2 and centers the message on "one more" - the single person God wants you to reach. He opens with the paralytic story to show how collective faith moved Jesus to forgive and heal, then pivots to pastoral exhortation: churches and Christians must resist settling for maintenance and keep pursuing the lost.
Why'd You Build It Like That? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin finishes the series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching from Matthew 7:21-27 about two builders - one who builds on rock (Jesus) and one who builds on sand. His main argument is that hearing Jesus' words is not enough; obedience and applying Scripture are what create a firm, storm‑proof foundation.
The Slippery Slope of Sin - Harrison Conley
Harrison Conley uses David’s fall (2 Samuel 11-12) to show how big moral failures usually grow out of small, unguarded compromises. He traces David’s descent as a sequence of small steps (stayed, saw, sent, slept, schemed, sorrowed), arguing that isolation, boredom, and unchecked thoughts open the door to sin.
Don't Judge Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin examines Matthew 7:1 in context and argues Jesus is not prohibiting all judgment but calling for right judgment. He explains that biblical judgment requires first examining your own sin, acting from humility, and aiming to help restore others.
The War Against Worry - Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preaches on Jesus' command in Matthew 6:25-34 to stop living in anxiety and to reorient our focus from self to God. He shares his personal struggle with panic disorder to illustrate how worry can cripple life and ministry, then explains that worry is ultimately a form of unbelief and misplaced worship.
What Jesus Thinks About Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin walks the congregation through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 about treasure and Mammon, correcting common money misconceptions: that churches only want money, that all churches are sketchy with finances, and that money itself is evil. He argues Jesus and Scripture focus heavily on money because it reveals the heart, and insists the biblical problem is the love of money (Mammon), not money itself.
Does Fasting Work? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on fasting from Matthew 6 within the Sermon on the Mount, explaining fasting as a spiritual practice meant to remind us that God - not food - is our sustainer. He emphasizes that fasting without prayer is pointless and that Jesus pairs fasting and prayer because prayer turns up the voice of God while fasting turns down the voice of the world.
Go Talk To Your Dad - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6) as part of a verse-by-verse series on the Sermon on the Mount. He argues that prayer is not optional or mystical but a learnable habit and the primary means of connecting with God.
For God's Glory or Mine - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from Matthew 6:1-8, arguing that much of Christian life is meant to be lived in the unseen and that God cares about the motives behind our public acts. Jesus warns against practicing righteousness for recognition - giving, fasting, and prayer should flow from intimacy with the Father, not a desire for a platform or applause.
Relationships God's Way - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' teaching about divorce and the surrounding issues of marriage and sexual sin. He first defines a biblical view of marriage - a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman meant to display Christ's covenant love - and warns against idolizing marriage as a source of personal fulfillment.
Overcoming Anger & Lust - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' hard teaching about anger and lust. He explains that Jesus raises the standard from external obedience to the condition of the heart - anger toward others and lustful looks are judged.
5 Marks of a Marketplace Missionary
The preacher challenges Christians to view their workplaces as mission fields, grounding the talk in Matthew 5:13-16 (you are salt and light). He argues Christians should bring integrity, contagious excellence, hospitality, a missionary mindset, and a "redemptive edge" into their jobs so their presence is noticed and culture is renewed.
A New Year Won't Help Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens a 12-week series through Matthew 5 (The Sermon on the Mount), using the Beatitudes to explain why New Year's resolutions and self-effort fail to produce lasting spiritual change. He sets the historical context: people were hopeful because Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God was near and proved it by healing, but when Jesus described kingdom life the crowd felt burdened and inadequate.
I Am Called To It - Sabbath Sunday
The preacher uses the Genesis 25 story of Esau and Jacob to introduce the idea of calling - both individual callings and a corporate calling to Nashville and Way Church. He warns that good gifts from God (like a birthright or a calling) can be slowly twisted by the enemy until we despise them, and lays out a practical pathway for staying faithful: believe your calling, value it, protect it, and keep it.
The Invitation Of Christmas - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin reads Luke 2 and frames Christmas as an invitation - an announcement of joy that begins with the angel's words, "Do not be afraid." He argues that the good news is for everyone (illustrated by the angel appearing to lowly shepherds), and that the proper response is to receive the invitation, join the celebration, and experience lasting transformation. Herrin warns against treating spiritual change as a performance or checklist and instead urges people to "fall in love with Jesus" so transformation flows from relationship, not effort.
The Bad News About Gifts - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 (the nativity) to contrast ordinary gifts with the gift of Jesus. He argues that most gifts come with a catch: they must be earned, can be taken back, and ultimately fail to satisfy because we were made for God.
Something Is Missing - Noah Herrin
Noah argues that when the right thing - Jesus and His rhythms - is missing from our lives, everything else can feel wrong and leave us anxious. He uses 1 Peter 5:7 and Matthew 11:28 to show that we must first believe Jesus truly cares, then live at the pace Jesus modeled, and actively 'catch' anxious thoughts so we can 'cast' them onto Him.
Staying Spiritually Strong - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin celebrates Way Church's 'Only God' offering and then teaches on how to stay spiritually strong. He gives five practical disciplines: choose an inspiring location (gather with church), pursue accountable community, set compelling spiritual goals, cultivate desperation that leads to dependence on God, and celebrate what God has done.
The 5 Reasons We Give - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that the church doesn't have a money problem so much as a branding problem around money - people’s perceptions and misconceptions have changed even though Scripture's teaching about giving has not. He presents five reasons his family gives: obedience (tithing as a biblical command), to remove idols from the heart, to build a lasting kingdom, to receive God’s blessing, and to make a way for others.
It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting.
Get Your Hopes Up - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the wedding at Cana) to launch the "Only God" series, inviting the church to expect things only God can do. He focuses on Mary’s faithful persistence: even when Jesus says, “My hour has not yet come,” she tells the servants, “Do whatever he tells you,” and Jesus miraculously turns water into wine.
I Have The Power - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches a second message on having a missionary mindset, grounding her talk in Acts 1:4-8. She argues that the Great Commission begins where God places us - often locally - and that obedience to mission requires reliance on the Holy Spirit, not our own strength.
How To Share The Gospel - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 28 (the Great Commission) arguing that every follower of Jesus has a mission: to 'go, make disciples, baptize, and teach.' He contrasts consumer Christianity (self-focused) with biblical Christianity (mission-focused) and urges the congregation to live with a missionary mindset in everyday places - work, family, and city. Herrin shares sobering statistics about how few Christians invite others to church or share the gospel, offers a practical five-part gospel outline for sharing faith, and encourages participation in small groups (WeGroups) as a primary way to reach Nashville.
My Friends Made Me Do It - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 2 about how our closest friends shape our spiritual trajectory. Using his own youth story and the Mark 2 account of friends lowering a paralytic through a roof, he argues that friends' faith can open the way to Jesus (’seeing their faith’), while bad company can corrupt good character.
Commitment Issues - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 10:24-25 about the importance of committing to Christian community. He argues that many Christians evade deep commitment because of an "idol of flexibility" and a fear of losing options, but true spiritual growth and protection from spiritual attack come through rooted relationships.
How To Fall In Love - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches that we follow Jesus not by performance but by falling in love with him. He lays out four practical steps to fall (and stay) in love with Jesus: pay attention, notice his beauty, get to know him, and remember your first love.
When God Feels Far - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 21 about how many Christians let performance determine their sense of closeness to God. He explains that Peter, after denying Jesus, retreats to his old life (fishing) because he feels like a failure, but Jesus meets him where he is - calling him back and restoring his calling.
The Heist - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin celebrates Way Church's first-year milestones and then grounds the congregation in the gospel by preaching from Ephesians 2. He argues that sin steals life, joy, purpose and ultimately brings spiritual death, and that human effort cannot fix the problem.
How To Pray - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches a practical framework for prayer using the acronym P.R.A.Y.: Pause, Rejoice, Ask, Yield. He begins with a short "prayer audit" (percent requesting vs rejoicing; praying for self vs others) to help people assess their patterns.
How To Be Great - Noah Herrin
Noah preaches from Mark 9 about the disciples arguing over greatness and reframes what it means to be "great" in God's kingdom. He argues that the desire to be great is not sinful, but the world's definition (status, wealth, fame) is distorted.
What Demons Do - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Ephesians 6:10-20 about the reality of demons and how Christians should respond. He argues demons are real, powerful, and intent on destroying lives, but their strategies can be recognized: they try to convince you they don't exist, they try to move you away from God, and they oppose Christ's authority.
Build The Boat - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Genesis about Noah as an example of steadiness and obedience. He argues that God often calls people to long, thankless tasks - “build the boat” - and the measure of success is faithfulness, not applause or visible results.
Secure In Other’s Success - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preached about how comparison and insecurity undermine unity and steal joy, using recent sports examples (Caitlin Clark) and biblical stories (Saul and David, Andrew, Jonathan) to show the cost. He argues that when we idolize our gifts, platform or reputation we subtly shift from serving God to serving our own status - a 'leadership lie' that expects God to raise our name as he raises His.
Fear's Greatest Hit - Brad Straarup
Brad Straarup preaches from Daniel 3 about how Christians should respond to fear. He identifies fear's most effective blow as the 'what if' - a hypothetical that keeps us from stepping into what God calls us to.
Who Is The Holy Spirit? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Acts 4 (contextualized in Acts 1-3) to show that the Holy Spirit is the empowering presence God gives believers so they can witness for Jesus. He contrasts human strategies and religious performance with supernatural power, arguing that the Spirit’s power always has a purpose: to produce public witness and advance the mission of making disciples.
Kingdom Influence - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from the Rich Young Ruler story in Matthew 19 to define what it means to be a ‘Kingdom influencer.’ He contrasts cultural influence (social media, fame, wealth) with Jesus-style influence: followers first, intimacy with the King first. Using the example of the man who walked away sad when Jesus told him to sell his possessions and follow, Noah warns that craving influence can become an idol that keeps us from being changed by God.
Holy Habits Finale - Way Church
This was the finale of Way Church's "Holy Habits" series featuring three short, personal talks from emerging leaders. Jake Still preached on the foundational habit of simply showing up for the local church, sharing his story of recovery and restoration and the life-change that came when he decided to keep showing up.
Preparing For Mentorship - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on how to intentionally find and receive mentorship/discipleship as a regular spiritual habit. He distinguishes mentorship (scheduled meetings) from discipleship (joining someone's life) and roots the practice in Jesus' Great Commission and Paul’s model of sharing both the gospel and life.
Throw The Confetti - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Philippians 4 urging the church to make gratitude a regular habit - what he calls "throw the confetti." Using Paul's command to "rejoice in the Lord always," he argues that joy is found in the presence of God, not in circumstances, and that thanksgiving in prayer displaces anxiety. Herrin illustrates the habit with personal stories (his wife's daily reminder to "throw confetti," an airport delay danced through, and his own mental-health practices) and practical gospel theology (Paul writing from prison).
Awake In Gardens Asleep In Storms - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 4 and Mark 14 with the central insight: "Jesus was awake in gardens but he slept in storms." He argues that gardens - seasons of blessing and success - can lull believers to spiritual sleep, so we must "stay awake" in those times. Conversely, storms often come even when we're obeying God, and the Christian response is not to flee but to be anchored in Christ, trusting and looking to him.
Work Hard Sabbath Hard - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches that God created both work and Sabbath as complementary gifts: we are meant to work hard and Sabbath hard. He traces work back to Genesis (work as part of God's design) and warns of two corruptions the devil uses against work - laziness and the idolatry of work.
The Love of God - Luke LeFevre
Luke LeFevre preaches on the overwhelming, incomprehensible love of God, praying Ephesians' prayer that believers would grasp the width, length, height and depth of Christ's love. He grounds that love in the gospel (Romans 5), emphasizing that Christ died for us while we were powerless, ungodly and even God's enemies, demonstrating love that precedes our repentance.
The Truth About Prayer - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from Luke 11 that prayer is a foundational habit for anyone who wants to grow more like Jesus. He points out that the disciples - who lived with Jesus - asked him to teach them to pray, which shows how central prayer was to Jesus' life and ministry.
The Truth About Church - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches that the local church is central to the Christian life and that misunderstanding or abandoning it plays into the devil's hands. Using Acts 2:42-47 as his guide, he identifies four things the early church was devoted to: the apostles' teaching (Scripture), fellowship (corporate gathering), breaking bread (small groups/house fellowship), and prayer.
Holiness In The Home - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin encourages listeners - especially mothers - to pursue holiness in the home by cultivating discipleship, prayer, and faithfulness. She acknowledges the joys and struggles of different seasons of motherhood and uses vivid illustrations (a ‘‘director of operations’’ job description for moms, a Navy SEAL’s dependence on water) to show why the home must be a place where God’s presence is invited.
Why The Bible Matters in 2024 - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 4 as part of a 'Holy Habits' series, arguing that regular Bible engagement is essential for spiritual formation. Using Jesus' temptation, he shows that Scripture is the primary tool Jesus used to resist the devil, so Christians must 'know the Word of God before you need the Word of God.' Herrin contrasts being formed by Christ with being formed by culture, challenges common excuses for not reading the Bible, and gives practical steps for starting a consistent reading habit.
You're Already There - Camilo Buchanan
Camilo Buchanan preaches that because of what Jesus has already done we are already seated with him in the heavenly places, and living in that reality should change how we respond to life now. He walks through Luke 7 (the healing of the centurion's servant) and Ephesians 2 to show that faith trusts Jesus authority and rests in what God has already accomplished for us and for our future.
How To Practice Repentance - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from Luke 15 that repentance is a regular habit for the Christian life, not a one-time event. He argues sanctification happens as we spend time with a holy God through holy habits, and repentance is a key habit that helps us become more like Jesus.
Holy Habits - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that a single encounter with Jesus can set someone free, but lasting transformation comes through intentionally formed 'holy habits.' He distinguishes shallow theologies (a 'get out of jail free' faith or selective obedience) from a theology that pursues kingdom transformation and insists there are no accidental saints. Herrin uses Galatians 6 to show that where we 'sow' - i.e., the habits we invest in - determines our fruit, and he urges Christians to train (not just try) to become like Christ.
Just Getting Started - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 19-20 on Easter, arguing that the cross is the greatest display of love the world has ever seen. He builds the case by showing that Jesus loved first, loved people who didn’t deserve it, and willingly took the punishment for sin so humanity could be made right with God.
Audacious Faith - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches that Christians should adopt an audacious posture of assumption - assuming God's power and his good character even when circumstances (or past disappointments) suggest otherwise. He uses Gospel stories (the woman who touched Jesus, the centurion, the paralyzed man lowered through the roof) to show that bold expectation of God often invites miraculous action.
Confess Your Sin - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin concludes an 11-week, verse-by-verse series through James by pressing two practical marks of a mature Christian: prayer and confession. Using James 5:13-20 he urges Christians to make prayer a continual priority - in good times and bad - because “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” He teaches that confession should go beyond private prayers to God: confessing sin to trusted others brings healing and freedom.
Stand Firm - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James 5 about money, goals, and perseverance. He first rebukes the self-indulgent wealthy James addresses and warns that temporary fruit and hoarded wealth do not last.
Don't Waste Your Life - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James chapter 4, urging listeners to stop 'shooting in the wrong goal' by living in sin with pride and instead humble themselves before God so He can lift them up. He contrasts self-promotion and craving control with a posture of humility and 'now faith,' arguing that God blesses small obedient steps more than perfected plans.
The War Within - From Talk To Walk (pt.8) - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from James about the "war within," the internal conflict when our desires are split between the world and God. He opens with a personal story about being dragged to church and uses James 4:1 to show quarrels and fights flow from passions at war inside us.
WISDOM WALKS - From Talk To Walk (pt.7) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James chapter 3, arguing that wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge but the application of that knowledge in everyday life. Wisdom, James says, is proved by a good life, deeds done, and a spirit of humility.
WORDS - From Talk To Walk (pt.6) - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from James chapter 3 about the power and danger of the tongue. She opens with a personal illustration about how her silence after her husband's haircut hurt him, then reads James to show how small words steer big outcomes, like a rudder steering a ship.
WORKS - From Talk To Walk (pt.5) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James chapter 2 about the relationship between faith and works. He argues that works do not earn salvation, but they are the evidence or proof that salvation is real.
INTENTIONALITY - From Talk To Walk (pt.4) - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from James 2:1-13 about the danger of showing partiality in the church and offers intentionality as the remedy. He reads James and highlights how favoritism contradicts the 'royal law' to love your neighbor, and how mercy should inform our judgment.
DOERS - From Talk To Walk (pt. 3) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James 1:19-27 in the series From Talk To Walk, calling the church to be doers not merely hearers of God's word. He emphasizes being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, arguing that true righteousness flows from obedience rather than mere information.
TEMPTATION - From Talk To Walk (pt. 2) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through James 1:12-17 with the central theme of moving from talk to walk, urging believers to persevere so they receive the crown of life. He explains the difference between temptation and testing, saying God does not tempt but often tests us to develop faithfulness.
PERSEVERANCE - From Talk To Walk (pt.1) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through James 1 as the start of a series called From Talk To Walk, urging listeners to move from merely talking about faith to living it out. He emphasizes that trials are inevitable but that God uses them to produce perseverance, maturity, and dependence on him.
Sabbath Sunday - Pursuit - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin centers Way Church's 2024 word, Pursuit, and calls the church to pursue three things: God, people, and personal improvement. He opens with Psalm 63:8 to define spiritual pursuit as actively chasing after God, not just showing up on Sundays.
Right Place. Right Time. Right Gift. - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches that Christmas can be more than traditions if three things happen in our lives: you are in the right place, at the right time, and you receive the right gift. He illustrates how ordinary places become sacred when God meets us there, using the Bethlehem story in Luke 2 and personal stories like his first kiss location and hospital visits.
The Manger In Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2, centering his message on the image of the manger to argue that Jesus intentionally entered human messiness. He walks through the nativity characters before landing on the surprising identification: we are the manger, and Jesus was placed into that mess from his first breath.
Remember Who You Are - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 5, using the story of the woman with the issue of blood to show how our thoughts and our identity shape our lives. He argues that small thoughts lead to big outcomes and that the devil attacks our thinking to redefine our identity by our struggles.
The One You Love - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 11 (the story of Lazarus) to make a single pastoral point: our primary identity before God is not what we do but that we are the one Jesus loves. He contrasts Mary and Martha’s simple, urgent phrase “Lord, the one you love is sick” with a culture that markets achievements and performance as the way to God.
It's Personal - Micah MacDonald
Micah McDonald preaches from John 20 using Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Jesus to argue that Christianity is meant to be deeply personal. He shows how hearing Jesus call her name moved Mary from grief to proclamation, and draws three practical results of a personal relationship: full commitment, the ability to recognize Jesus' voice, and clear purpose.
Only God - For My Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Corinthians 9 on how money competes for the human heart and why Christians should give so that only God gets the credit. He argues that God is jealous for our hearts and that money often becomes an idol, so Jesus talks about money frequently to expose that idol and reorient us.
Only God - For My City - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 9 as part of the "Only God" series, calling Way Church to be a city-changing presence in Nashville that gives God all the credit. He emphasizes that Jesus was "moved with compassion" (the Greek implying a gut-level ache) because people were wandering without a Shepherd, and that compassion should drive followers to act.
Only God - For My Family - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Joshua 24 urging families and individuals to make God the undisputed priority in their homes. He contrasts dependence on God in the wilderness with the tendency to rely on success and possessions in the promised land, warning that cultural pressures are fighting for our houses.
Only God - For Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Kings 18 to launch a series called "Only God," arguing that God wants people whose lives are so filled with His power that only God could get the credit. He uses Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal as the primary example of power that compels people to worship, and insists that the same power is available today.
5 Ways To Kill Comparison - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches that comparison is a spiritual attack disguised as a normal habit, rooted in the belief that you are not getting what you deserve. He explains how that feeling of deserve fueled Saul's jealousy of David and how taking our eyes off Jesus leads to sinking like Peter.
If Jesus Had A Bio - The Truth - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 14:6 in the final message of the series "if Jesus had a bio," focusing on Jesus' claim, "I am the truth." He argues that lies and living by cultural "truths" destroy freedom, while the person of Jesus and his words are the only source of real freedom. Herrin warns against a consumerist view of faith that prioritizes happiness over holiness and urges Christians to read the Bible to know Jesus personally.
If Jesus Had A Bio - The True Vine - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 15, explaining Jesus as the True Vine and that spiritual fruit flows only from remaining connected to him. He argues fruit is both the character of Christ and the work of Christ done for others, not something to be harvested for self-glory.
If Jesus Had A Bio - The Good Shepherd - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 10, unpacking Jesus as the Good Shepherd. He argues that Jesus both corrects and protects his sheep, and that divine correction is for our protection, not rejection.
If Jesus Had A Bio - Light Of The World - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 8 in a series called "if Jesus had a bio," focusing on Jesus' claim, "I am the light of the world." Using the story of the woman caught in adultery he shows how the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus with an either-or choice, but Jesus responds with both grace and truth. Herrin explains three things light does in a life: it exposes, it guides, and it gives hope, and he warns against relying on "little lights" instead of the one true Light.
If Jesus Had A Bio - Bread Of Life - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 6, centering on Jesus statement, I am the bread of life. He contrasts chasing temporary bread and blessings with feasting on the bread of life, which satisfies the soul and changes quality of life (Zoe) not merely guarantees future existence (bios).
I Found A Way - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 14, arguing that the world's promises of success and self-made "ways" ultimately leave us empty. Using a humorous college story about "adventure photography," he illustrates how people follow confident leaders and ladders of achievement that do not satisfy.
