Have you ever seen something that has taken your breath away? What is about seeing something of great beauty and majesty that captivates us? In this message from John 1:14-18, Pastor Jeremy Writebol invites us to refocus our attention on the Son of God and his glory, because in seeing the glory of Christ we see the glory of God.

How often should we forgive someone who wrongs or sins against us? For the Christian, Jesus' teaching is shocking and counter-intuitive to the way the world speaks about and perceives forgiveness. In this sermon on Matthew 18:21-35, Pastor Jeremy Writebol unpacks the necessity Christians are under to forgive, and how to do so.

What should we do when someone in the church hurts us? What does Jesus ask of us? In the fourth message in the series Conflicted: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, pastor Jeremy Writebol unpacks the steps Jesus gives for pursuing reconciliation in the midst of conflict. From Mark 18:15-20.

Does the chaos of creation, both in the natural world and in the more personal things of your life, overwhelm you? In this message Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows us how Jesus responds to our anxiety-ridden hearts and lives with his presence and peace. From the series Thy Kingdom Come, this message unpacks Mark 4:35-41

How does Jesus' kingdom grow and advance? Is it through military might or political power? Does the kingdom grow through compelling others to follow Jesus with strong-arm tactics and violence? Maybe we should consider how Jesus talked about the kingdom advancing and growing, and follow him in the patterns he laid out for gospel advance. In this message on Mark 4:21-34, Pastor Jeremy Writebol helps us see three principles for gospel advance and calls us to deeper, faithful work even in the small places and ways.

What is the condition of your heart? Would you say your heart is fertile towards God's Word? These are all questions that may arise as we listen to the parable of the sower in Mark chapter 4. Jesus teaches this parable to a large crowd of people, and He brings a calling to those who have an ear to let them hear. In other words, itseems like what He was trying to illustrate was important for them to hear. As we carry on in our series, Thy Kingdom Come, we will learn of the four conditions of the human heart, the hard heart, shallow heart, distracted heart, and fertile heart. We will see that Jesus’ reign is accomplished through His word.

In this message we discover how the Lord asks for our full allegiance and commitment to His kingdom. Letting go and giving up control is a difficult task. In our walks with Christ, this is what He asks of us, to allow Him to have full control of our lives as He guides us in the way He has paved. Jesus asks some thought-provoking questions in the gospel of Mark, which will call us to examine our hearts and ask ourselves the questions, "Who is Jesus to me? Have I fully surrendered to Him?"

Special arrivals are thrilling. We wait with great expectation and joy. Rather it’s a return of a loved one or seeing a person of influence visit your city. Arrivals are mixed with excitement and chaos. In our new message series, Thy Kingdom Come: His Reign in Our Lives, we will see the life of Jesus and the impact of His kingdom coming to our world. With the anticipated arrival of Christ, in Mark chapter 3 we will see how Jesus strategically calls out His disciples. Jesus was more concerned with gaining followers than fans. The twelve disciples were specifically called by Christ. There are a few distinguishing marks that we see from scripture about the disciples. His disciples were called out from the crowd, they spent time with Jesus, and were given authority to minister. We too, are His followers and have the same exact distinguishing marks the twelve had.

Are you aware of the labor shortage? Not just for workers in our society, but for laborers in the kingdom of God. In this last message in our Elijah: A Man Just Like Us series, Pastor Jeremy Writebol helps us recognize the key things we need to be engaged in God's call on our lives. We want to see Elijah pass the baton, and to take it up ourselves to see the advance of the gospel.

Have you ever felt ravaged by sorrow for yourself? Ever felt defeated and bundled in a ball of self-pity? In a society that is fixated on ourselves, it’s likely you’ve felt this way before. Even Elijah, a man of great faith, fell into a pit of depression caused by his self-pity. In this message, Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows us how God answers our own self-pity by his grace and call on our lives.

Do you ever feel ineffective and powerless in prayer? Do you long to have the spiritual power and ability to affect change with God like Elijah? In this message Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows us how Elijah's life of prayer before God can be our shared experienced of prayer as well.

"How long will you go on wavering between two opinions?" It's no exaggeration to say that our culture is filled with idols that we give our hearts to. But how is that working out for you? In this message, Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows the impact that idol worship is making in our lives today, and how Christ's work in us is absolutely superior.

Is a life of supernatural significance available to us? What does it take for us to become a giant of the faith? In this message, Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows us how a life of supernatural ordinary power, like Elijah's can be our experience as well as we live by faith.

In this final message in our Asking for a Friend series, Royal Oak pastor CT Eldridge answers the question "How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?"

Is Anxiety a Sin? In this message Pastor Jeremy Writebol takes us to Psalm 77 to help us know what to do with our anxious hearts.

What does God think about singleness? How does that relate to our lives today? In this teaching series we are answering the questions our congregation has asked deeply. Farmington Hill Campus Pastor Jacob Ley opens God's word to help us discover how we should live as married or single.

We prepare for tests, parties, job interviews, house projects, and difficult conversations. Preparation is a part of our lives. But how often do we think about preparing for paradise? In this message, Ryan Nast lays out the call we have to be ready for paradise.
