Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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").

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.

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.

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?).

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
