2 Corinthians
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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).
