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.

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.

Satan's Strategy & How to Overcome It | Madi Prewett Troutt

Madi Prewett Troutt warns Christians that alongside a good and real God there is a real, cunning enemy who aims to steal, kill, and destroy. She traces Satan's tactics from Genesis 3, grouping temptations into three recurring categories: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16).

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 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.

Breaking Phone Addiction with Jesus | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin argues that phones have become idols for many Christians because the time we give them eventually shapes our affections and requires sacrifices (presence, peace, purity, proximity to God). He traces the pattern: time spent -> idol formed -> sacrifices demanded, and uses Matthew, Colossians, and Philippians to show why guarding where we look and what we consume matters.

Sabbath Sunday | WAY Church

The pastor uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 1 & 3) to challenge the church to "stay standing" in 2026 - refusing subtle modern idols and small compromises that lead away from God. He argues that standing for holiness will look countercultural, often carries cost, and should be pursued in community rather than isolation.

Can the Devil Stop My Calling? | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Nehemiah 6 to show how the enemy tries to stop God-sized work through discouragement, distraction, and attempts to discredit. He frames Way Church as a God-movement that must press on - "I am doing a great work; I cannot come down" - and exhorts people to respond by going all-in in church life, serving in weakness, and pursuing holiness.

How to be a Godly Woman | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Proverbs 31 about what it looks like to be a godly woman, reframing the chapter as a practical call to holiness and mission rather than an impossible checklist. He outlines several marks of a godly woman: holiness (built on Scripture, not feelings), capability (being useful for God's mission regardless of marital status), trustworthiness, godly friendships, speaking life over her husband, sexual faithfulness within marriage, modesty, and knowing her value comes from the cross.

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).

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.

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.

He argues demons are real, powerful, and intent on destroying lives, but their strategies can be recognized: they try to convince you they don't exist, they try to move you away from God, and they oppose Christ's authority.

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.

Why The Bible Matters in 2024 - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 4 as part of a 'Holy Habits' series, arguing that regular Bible engagement is essential for spiritual formation. Using Jesus' temptation, he shows that Scripture is the primary tool Jesus used to resist the devil, so Christians must 'know the Word of God before you need the Word of God.' Herrin contrasts being formed by Christ with being formed by culture, challenges common excuses for not reading the Bible, and gives practical steps for starting a consistent reading habit.

Holy Habits - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin argues that a single encounter with Jesus can set someone free, but lasting transformation comes through intentionally formed 'holy habits.' He distinguishes shallow theologies (a 'get out of jail free' faith or selective obedience) from a theology that pursues kingdom transformation and insists there are no accidental saints. Herrin uses Galatians 6 to show that where we 'sow' - i.e., the habits we invest in - determines our fruit, and he urges Christians to train (not just try) to become like Christ.

If Jesus Had A Bio - The Truth - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from John 14:6 in the final message of the series "if Jesus had a bio," focusing on Jesus' claim, "I am the truth." He argues that lies and living by cultural "truths" destroy freedom, while the person of Jesus and his words are the only source of real freedom.
