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.

How to be a Godly Dad | Noah Herrin
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.

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.

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.

How to be a Godly Man | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Song of Songs chapter 1 about what it looks like to be a godly man.

What the Bible says about Homosexuality | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens a six-week series on sexuality by working through Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians chapters 6-7. He argues that Scripture gives clear instruction about sex, marriage (one man, one woman), and gender, and that God’s design leads to human flourishing.

OBSESSED | Chad Veach

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).

WIN THE FIGHT | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin launches a series called "Win the Fight," teaching from Acts 19 about Paul and the church at Ephesus. He emphasizes that the Christian life is real spiritual warfare and that victory comes not by willpower or techniques but by the gospel, the Holy Spirit, and intimacy with Jesus.

The Truth About Sex - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from 1 Thessalonians 4 as part of the “Almost True” series, correcting common cultural half-truths about sex. He argues that Scripture doesn’t restrict sex to diminish joy but to protect and enable the best sexual flourishing - holy sex within the lifelong marital covenant.

Why'd You Build It Like That? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin finishes the series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching from Matthew 7:21-27 about two builders - one who builds on rock (Jesus) and one who builds on sand. His main argument is that hearing Jesus' words is not enough; obedience and applying Scripture are what create a firm, storm‑proof foundation.

Don't Judge Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin examines Matthew 7:1 in context and argues Jesus is not prohibiting all judgment but calling for right judgment. He explains that biblical judgment requires first examining your own sin, acting from humility, and aiming to help restore others.

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.

Relationships God's Way - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' teaching about divorce and the surrounding issues of marriage and sexual sin. He first defines a biblical view of marriage - a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman meant to display Christ's covenant love - and warns against idolizing marriage as a source of personal fulfillment.

Overcoming Anger & Lust - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' hard teaching about anger and lust. He explains that Jesus raises the standard from external obedience to the condition of the heart - anger toward others and lustful looks are judged.

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
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.

What Demons Do - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Ephesians 6:10-20 about the reality of demons and how Christians should respond. 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.

Holiness In The Home - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin encourages listeners - especially mothers - to pursue holiness in the home by cultivating discipleship, prayer, and faithfulness.

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.

The War Within - From Talk To Walk (pt.8) - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from James about the "war within," the internal conflict when our desires are split between the world and God. He opens with a personal story about being dragged to church and uses James 4:1 to show quarrels and fights flow from passions at war inside us.

WISDOM WALKS - From Talk To Walk (pt.7) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James chapter 3, arguing that wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge but the application of that knowledge in everyday life. Wisdom, James says, is proved by a good life, deeds done, and a spirit of humility.

WORDS - From Talk To Walk (pt.6) - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from James chapter 3 about the power and danger of the tongue. She opens with a personal illustration about how her silence after her husband's haircut hurt him, then reads James to show how small words steer big outcomes, like a rudder steering a ship.

WORKS - From Talk To Walk (pt.5) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James chapter 2 about the relationship between faith and works. He argues that works do not earn salvation, but they are the evidence or proof that salvation is real.

DOERS - From Talk To Walk (pt. 3) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James 1:19-27 in the series From Talk To Walk, calling the church to be doers not merely hearers of God's word. He emphasizes being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, arguing that true righteousness flows from obedience rather than mere information.

TEMPTATION - From Talk To Walk (pt. 2) - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through James 1:12-17 with the central theme of moving from talk to walk, urging believers to persevere so they receive the crown of life. He explains the difference between temptation and testing, saying God does not tempt but often tests us to develop faithfulness.

Sabbath Sunday - Pursuit - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin centers Way Church's 2024 word, Pursuit, and calls the church to pursue three things: God, people, and personal improvement. He opens with Psalm 63:8 to define spiritual pursuit as actively chasing after God, not just showing up on Sundays.

Remember Who You Are - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 5, using the story of the woman with the issue of blood to show how our thoughts and our identity shape our lives. He argues that small thoughts lead to big outcomes and that the devil attacks our thinking to redefine our identity by our struggles.

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. Herrin warns against a consumerist view of faith that prioritizes happiness over holiness and urges Christians to read the Bible to know Jesus personally.
