The kingdom of God is in every believer. All of God’s promises and provision are available, they’re one belief away. Today we will discuss the parable of the sower and how our hearts determine the fruitfulness of the word of the kingdom and how we can persuade our heart to be more receptive.

You Get Out What You Put In - Clint Byars

Lasting change begins in the heart, where your deepest beliefs—especially about your identity—are formed. True repentance is a continual turning from your own logic to God’s truth, allowing His Word to work at the identity level and reshape how you see yourself. Your only real work is to believe what God says about you and rest in that truth, because that’s where transformation happens.

Believing is Hard Work, But it Produces Rest - Clint Byars

Faith in the Blood - Nate Tanner

If you lack a clear life vision, you’re vulnerable to confusion and control. Without clarity, you’ll keep seeking something outside yourself to define you. The vision you embrace should be the outward expression of who you want to be and the values you live by. It’s time to pick a path, quit waiting for the nebulous “move of God” and waiting for someone to tell you what to do, make a decision, and get moving!

Breaking Free from Confusion and Control - Clint Byars

You might think you’re waiting on God, but God is waiting on you. He has given you his spirit and has given you the mind of Christ, you can use it to make a decision and move forward. Today we’ll ask a few questions that will help you have a vision for your life and step into a meaningful life, full or purpose.

God is Waiting on You - Clint Byars

Scripture tells us to apply your heart to instruction. We’re asking “what," but God is trying to tell us “how.” The what starts with you. It’s time to make a decision of how you’ll pursue His calling on your life, and He’ll give you the steps. You think you’re waiting on God, but He’s waiting on you. Let us help you move forward today!

It’s Time to Make A Decision - Clint Byars

Proverbs 16:3 tells us to “commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” In this message, discover how committing your works isn’t complicated—it’s rolling your plans onto God, trusting Him with the outcomes, and walking daily in His life and purposes. When you seek His kingdom, abide in Christ, and yield your steps to Him, your calling becomes clear and your path firm. The waiting is OVER, it’s tome to make a decision, roll your works onto Him, and MOVE FORWARD!

How to Commit Your Works to the Lord and Succeed - Clint Byars

Jesus lived perfectly to qualify to be the acceptable offering for the sin of the whole world. Forgiveness and redemption are only available through faith in His blood. Enjoy today’s message as we root you deeper in the Gospel!

Jesus Lived Perfectly for You - Clint Byars

Our nation is still feeling the shock waves of the last few weeks, and people are seeking God. Millions are reading the Bible again or for the first time, and millions are going to church. This is a good thing. As people are responding this way, what can we do to make sure we’re walking out the assignments God has for us?

When You Don't Know What to Do, Do Good - Clint Byars

Guest Speaker: Charlie Newell

This message unpacks the heart of evangelism rooted in the Father’s love, where the ministry of reconciliation isn’t a duty but an overflow of knowing we’ve already been reconciled to Him. We’ll look at how Jesus modeled serving from Sonship in John 13 and how, from that same place of identity and rest, we can carry God’s heart to the world.

The Heart of Evangelism - Jennifer Merrill

The heart is the Father for you must be the foundation of your faith. The resurrection is the pinnacle of his heart for you, and every belief we have must be rooted in these two things. Today we’ll look at the prodigal son parable to frame our beliefs and relationship with God to bear fruit.

All That I Have Is Yours - Clint Byars

Your prayers are no longer hindered by wars in the heavenly realm, God has already forgiven you in the blood of Christ, and healing is available for all who believe. Today we will discuss how all of our beliefs must be informed by the new covenant and the resurrection of christ.

Jesus‘s Resurrection Changed Prayer, Forgiveness, and Healing - Clint Byars

Worship is Different Under the New Covenant - Clint Byars

When we choose gratitude, we’re not just obeying Scripture—we’re reshaping our hearts and even our brains to trust God’s goodness. Like the disciples who forgot the miracle of the loaves, anxiety often comes from forgetting who Jesus has already proven Himself to be. When we remember His faithfulness and give thanks, peace—both spiritual and biological—rises up to guard our hearts and minds, empowering us to live calm, steady, and confident in every circumstance.

The Cure for Anxiety and a Formula for Peace - Clint Byars

Most of our pain comes from the stories we tell ourselves - not the people around us. When we stop taking things personally and choose gratitude over judgement, we begin interpreting life through our identity in Christ rather than our ego. This renewed lens produces peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

It's Not All About You - Clint Byars

Your words reveal the atmosphere of your heart, and gratitude is the fastest way to shift that atmosphere. When peace guards your heart, it governs your mouth and empowers you to walk in love with the people closest to you.

Season Your Words with Gratitude - Clint Byars

Family Sunday 11-30-2025

This Christmas, we fix our eyes on the Word made flesh-Light with no darkness. Love revealed, the Anointed Savior, the unchanging Father of lights, and the Preeminent One through whom and for whom all things were made. Our joy is made full not by examining ourselves but by the looking unto Him.
