Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting. Using the centurion as the primary example, Herrin emphasizes bold, risky obedience (faith as ACT) that puts you in situations where only God can get the credit. He encourages listeners to take the next step God is asking for, even when it seems crazy, because radical obedience yields no regret.
“We want people to look at our family ... and say 'it is by God's spirit that is living in me' ... only God could get the credit for this.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Faith grows by looking at Jesus, then thinking like him, but it must move into action - take one concrete step God is asking for today. Be willing to look foolish in the moment; obedience positions you for things only God can explain. Consider what practical step (relational, vocational, financial, or sacrificial) God is asking you to take this week.

Get Your Hopes Up - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the wedding at Cana) to launch the "Only God" series, inviting the church to expect things only God can do. He focuses on Mary’s faithful persistence: even when Jesus says, “My hour has not yet come,” she tells the servants, “Do whatever he tells you,” and Jesus miraculously turns water into wine.
Only God - For My Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Corinthians 9 on how money competes for the human heart and why Christians should give so that only God gets the credit. He argues that God is jealous for our hearts and that money often becomes an idol, so Jesus talks about money frequently to expose that idol and reorient us.
