Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 about what it looks like to be a godly dad. He organizes the message around Paul's four commands - be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong - and insists that all of those must be done within the container of love. Herrin uses stories (a shark video, a goose on the golf course, the first drive home from the hospital) to illustrate watchfulness, persistence, sacrificial masculinity, and dependence on God. He presses dads to build godly patterns and a clear family vision, to know their own temptations, and to rely on God’s strength rather than self-sufficiency. The talk closes with an invitation to follow Jesus and a declaration for fathers to commit to being godly dads.
“"Let all that you do be done in love... that last sentence is the container that all of those commands have to fit inside."” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Practical takeaways: 1) Be watchful - know what your kids consume, who their friends are, and what personal temptations are your "ribeye." 2) Build consistent, godly patterns (daily habits of Scripture, prayer, church attendance) rather than relying on occasional parenting moments. 3) Lead with love: give your kids approval before they earn it, create a clear family vision, persist after mistakes, and depend on God's strength rather than your own.

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.
God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
How to Find Godly Friends | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that real Christian growth happens in committed local community, not in one-off mountaintop moments or casual attendance. Using Acts 2 as his primary text, he highlights the early church's devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, meals, the Lord's supper, and prayer, and shows how that commitment produced awe, generosity, miracles, and rapid growth.
