Genesis
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).
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).
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
