Noah Herrin preaches from the road to Emmaus (Luke 24) to address the deep disappointment people feel when the things they chase ('it') fail to satisfy. He argues that people often pursue 'its' - money, fame, relationships, achievement - in hopes they will bring meaning, but every 'it' underdelivers. Using the Emmaus story he shows the disciples missed Jesus even while He was with them because their hope was misplaced; Herrin emphasizes that the real problem is sin and the real solution is Jesus. He invites listeners to stop running to many different places for fulfillment because "My Father has it" - peace, love, freedom, and forgiveness are found in the Father through Jesus. The message closes with a call to repent and place faith in the risen Christ, including a guided prayer for those who want to commit.
“Dear Jesus, forgive me of my sins. The ones I remember, the ones that I don't, I want to follow you for the rest of my life. Be Lord of it all in Jesus name.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Stop chasing temporary 'its' (money, status, relationships) for satisfaction - bring those needs to your heavenly Father who provides peace, love and forgiveness. Recognize that sin, not just your circumstances, is the deepest problem and that Jesus' death and resurrection is the solution. If you feel far from Jesus, you can turn around tonight; faith and repentance bring real, present change and eternal life.

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 Were Signs | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 that Jesus' birth included clear signs showing who he is, why he came, and who it's for. He argues the nativity is full of fulfilled prophecies that point to Jesus' divinity, uses the shepherds and wise men to show God's welcome to both the broken and the accomplished, and explains Jesus' mission as the sacrificial 'Lamb' who would die for sins.
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.
