From Guilt to Forgiveness | Extreme Makeover: Life Edition (Week 1)

What happens when the power of God collides with the forces of darkness? This week, we meet a man whose life was completely out of control—tormented, isolated, and chained by forces he couldn’t escape. But one encounter with Jesus changes everything.

In part two of Extreme Makeover: Life Edition, we’ll unpack what true spiritual freedom looks like, why demonic influence is more real than many want to admit, and how Jesus doesn’t just set people free—He restores them and calls them to purpose. You’ll discover why this miracle isn’t just a wild story from the past, but a vivid picture of what Christ wants to do in your life today.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in habits, shame, or spiritual oppression—this message is for you. Jesus doesn’t run from the mess—He steps into it and brings transformation. Come expecting freedom—and leave ready to share your story.

From Bondage to Freedom | Extreme Makeover: Life Edition (Week 2)

What do you do when you’re out of time, out of options, and staring down your greatest fear? In one of the most radical turnarounds in all of Scripture, a dying criminal goes from mocking Jesus to calling out for mercy—and in return, receives a promise of paradise. This isn’t just a last-minute rescue story; it’s a picture of the grace and hope available to all of us, no matter where we’ve been or what we’ve done.

This week, we’ll explore five powerful truths about spiritual transformation straight from the thief on the cross. It’s not about being religious or perfect—it’s about humbly acknowledging our need for a Savior. Join us for Part 3 of Extreme Makeover: Life Edition and discover the kind of 11th-hour miracle only Jesus can offer.

From Deserved Punishment to Undeserved Paradise | Extreme Makeover: Life Edition (Week 3)

The resurrection is either the greatest hoax in history—or the greatest truth the world has ever known. In this Easter message, we look at the story of Thomas, a man who refused to believe until he saw Jesus for himself. His story reminds us that God welcomes honest doubters and invites every skeptic to explore the evidence for the risen Christ. When we encounter the truth and place our trust in Jesus, it changes everything. Are you ready to move from questions to confidence, and from doubt to worship?

From Skepticism to Belief | Extreme Makeover: Life Edition (Week 4) | Easter 2025

Does your work really matter to God?
Many of us will spend 40% of our lives working — but have we ever stopped to ask what God thinks about our jobs? In Part 1 of our brand-new series Work Matters, we’ll discover that honest and noble work is actually a partnership with God. Work isn’t a curse — it’s part of our calling!

Join us as we unpack what Scripture says about work (John 5:17, Genesis 2:15, Colossians 3:23, and more) and why your job — no matter what you do — is sacred when you do it for the Lord. We’ll also talk about how God uses work to build our character and shape our lives for His purposes.

If you’ve ever wrestled with work-life balance, finding your calling, or surviving tough workplaces, this series is for you. And it’s the perfect time to invite a friend who’s navigating those same questions!

Take This Job and Love It! | Work Matters (Week1)

Is it possible to work hard, honor God, and still have a healthy personal life? In Part 2 of our WORK MATTERS series, we explore how to pursue a sustainable work-life balance in a culture that often rewards hustle over health. While Scripture teaches that work is good and God-honoring, it also warns against the dangers of overworking and misplacing our identity in what we do rather than in who we are in Christ.

In this message, we ask honest questions like: How would you know if work is taking over your life? Are you working to avoid something deeper? What does real rest look like? Pastor Rex unpacks biblical principles from Exodus, Proverbs, Matthew, and more—offering three practical steps to help you reclaim balance, prioritize Sabbath rest, and center your life around the Kingdom of God. Whether you're a workaholic, a weary soul, or just trying to find your footing in a busy season, this message is for you.

Pursuing A Healthy Work-Life Balance | Work Matters (Week 2)

Have you ever asked, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” You’re not alone. In this message, Pastor Rex shares how discerning your calling is less about choosing a perfect career and more about becoming the person God created you to be. Through Romans 12 and other Scriptures, he explains how God often guides us not with a lightning bolt, but through the steady pull of character, gifting, passion, and personality.

Whether you’re a student wrestling with your future, a mom wondering if what you do matters, or someone considering a career change, this sermon will help you understand that God does have a purpose for you—and He wants to guide you step by step. God’s call may not be loud, but it’s always personal.

Discerning Your Calling | Work Matters (Week 3)

We’ve all said it: “I love my job, but the people…” The truth is, navigating a toxic or dysfunctional workplace can test your faith like few other things. In this final message of our Work Matters series, we explore what it looks like to represent Jesus in the hardest environments—when coworkers are difficult, integrity is rare, and your values are constantly challenged.

Looking at the life of Daniel, we’ll see how one man stood firm, shined brightly, and made a difference—even in a hostile setting. This message is filled with practical encouragement for anyone trying to follow Jesus at work, especially when the atmosphere is anything but Christlike.

Whether you're dealing with petty office drama or outright hostility, this teaching will help you live faithfully, stay spiritually grounded, and see your workplace as one of your greatest mission fields.
