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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
