Mark
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
