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). Pokluda stresses that salvation and fullness are gifts of grace, not earned by works, and invites listeners to examine what is holding them back and to let it go. The sermon closes with an altar call and corporate prayer for people to step forward and be "sealed by the Spirit."
“"Sell everything you have and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come follow me."” · Jonathan Pokluda
Take it with you
Identify the one thing(s) holding you back and take concrete steps to let them go (delete numbers/apps, change environments, seek forgiveness). Rely fully on Jesus' finished work - salvation is a gift received by faith, not earned by performance. If you're ready, make a visible step of commitment (the sermon invited people to stand/come forward) and connect with a community for support and growth.

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.
When God says Take the Risk | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preaches through John 2:1-11, Jesus' first sign at the wedding in Cana, to show how Jesus calls us into risky obedience that reveals his glory. He traces the scene - Mary's plea, Jesus' cryptic response, the servants filling jars 'to the brim,' and the master of the feast declaring the best wine saved for last - and argues that the miracle happens when servants release what they have to Jesus in faith.
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.
