What An Open Heaven Looks Like | Preston Morrison May 18, 2026

Show notes

What happens when heaven opens over a life fully surrendered to God?In this message, we explore what Scripture reveals about living with greater awareness of God’s presence, greater trust in His provision, and greater boldness for His mission.Throughout the Bible, moments of open heaven were never just emotional experiences—they led to revelation, transformation, generosity, and evangelism.

In this message, you’ll hear about:What it means to live under an open heavenHow God reveals Himself to hungry heartsWhy increasing your awareness of His presence changes everythingThe difference between chasing temporary things and pursuing Jesus HimselfHow to steward God’s blessings with wisdom and generosityWhy open doors for evangelism require both prayer and obedienceThrough passages from Joel 2, Ezekiel 1, Genesis 28, Malachi 3, Acts 7, Colossians 4, and more, this sermon challenges believers to stop living casually around the things of God and start pursuing Him deeply.Because an open heaven isn’t just about what God gives—it’s about seeing Him clearly, trusting Him fully, and walking through every door He opens.The question is no longer “What now?”The question is: Will you respond to what heaven is opening before you?

Are You Still Celebrating What God Has Already Done? | Preston Morrison May 11, 2026

Show notes

Remembering is more than reflection.

It’s more than looking back.

Remembering is an act of faith.

In this message, “Remember The Memorial Stones: Are You Still Celebrating What God Has Already Done?” we walk through Scripture and discover how memorial stones were used to mark moments where God moved powerfully. They weren’t just reminders of the past—they were sacred declarations that God had been faithful and would remain faithful for generations to come.

Throughout the Bible, altars and memorials marked places of encounter, deliverance, worship, and victory. They stood as visible testimonies in the middle of uncertainty, opposition, and changing seasons.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

Why memorials matter in our walk with God
How remembering God’s faithfulness strengthens future generations
What happens when we forget what God has already done
Why sacred reminders become a declaration in the face of the enemy

This message calls us to stop living disconnected from God’s past faithfulness—and asks a personal question: Have we become so focused on what’s next that we’ve forgotten what God has already done?

Because what God has done deserves to be remembered.

And remembered faith builds resilient faith.

Restoring What the Enemy Tried to Bury | Isaac Gross May 04, 2026

Show notes

Not everything new is better.

Sometimes what you need most… is something old.

In this message, “It’s Time To Re-Dig The Wells,” we look at Genesis 26 and the life of Isaac, who didn’t chase something new—he recovered what had been buried.

The wells his father once dug had been stopped up, covered, and forgotten. But when Isaac re-dug them, life flowed again.

This sermon challenges us with a powerful truth:

New isn’t the problem—new without foundation is.

In this message, you’ll hear about:

Why you don’t need something new—you need to recover what was lost
The permission and responsibility every believer has to re-dig
How the enemy works to bury truth, obedience, and faith
Why what you sustain matters more than what you start

You’ll also explore key “wells” every believer must return to:

The well of obedience — where surrender leads to blessing
The well of faith — where trust in God overrides what you see

Because what once flowed in your life…

can flow again.

This message is a call to rebuild, restore, and return—

not just for your life, but for the generations coming after you.

What if the most important thing about your life

isn’t what you start…

but what you sustain?

It’s Time To Rebuild The Sacred Altars | Preston Morrison Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

God doesn’t just visit.He dwells.And He meets us where altars are built.In this message, “Where God Comes Down: It’s Time To Rebuild The Sacred Altars,” we’re invited to rediscover a pattern seen all throughout Scripture—God reveals Himself where people intentionally make space for Him. Altars were never about routine; they were about surrender, remembrance, and real encounters with God.Over time, it’s easy for those spaces to be neglected. What was once sacred can become distant. This message calls us back, not to empty practice, but to a life marked by intentional surrender and consistent connection with God.In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

What altars represent and why they matter
How surrender and devotion create space for God to move
Why what’s been neglected needs to be rebuilt
What it looks like to prioritize God in the everyday

This message invites us to examine what we’ve allowed to fade—and asks a personal question: What needs to be rebuilt in your life so God has a place to meet you?Because God still comes down.But He meets us at the altar.

It’s Time To Tear Down Every Idol | Preston Morrison Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Not every idol is made of stone.

Some are built quietly—in our hearts.

In this message, “The Things You Can’t Put Down: It’s Time To Tear Down Every Idol,” we confront a hard truth: anything that takes God’s place in our lives has become an idol.

What we chase, protect, and prioritize can slowly replace the One we’re meant to worship.

This sermon walks through Scripture to help us recognize the idols we may not even realize we’ve built—and calls us back to full surrender.

In this message, you’ll hear about:

What an idol really is in today’s life
How to recognize if something has taken God’s place in your heart
The warning signs of idolatry—what you chase, take, sacrifice for, and boast about
Why idols always promise life but lead to destruction
The biblical path to tearing down idols for good

You’ll also learn how to respond:

By confessing what’s taken God’s place
Repenting and turning your heart back to Him
Renouncing what no longer belongs
Replacing idols with true worship

Because God isn’t interested in partial devotion—

He’s after your whole heart.

If there’s something in your life you can’t seem to put down…

this message will challenge you to ask:

Has it taken God’s place?

A Blueprint For Spiritual Warfare | Preston Morrison Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

Spiritual warfare isn’t random.

It isn’t passive.

It’s intentional—and so is our response.

In this message, “When God’s Enemy Attacks: A Blueprint For Spiritual Warfare,” we’re reminded in 1 Peter 5 that we have a real enemy who is actively seeking to devour. But his attacks are not without reason. He opposes us because of how deeply God loves us and because of the purpose God is working through our lives.

This message lays out a clear pattern for how we respond—not with fear, but with awareness, confidence, and resistance. God has not left us vulnerable. He has given us everything we need to stand firm.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

Why the enemy targets your life and calling
How to anchor yourself in God’s presence instead of fear
What it means to actively resist the enemy, not ignore him
How to walk in victory through obedience and the covering of Jesus

This message invites us to take spiritual warfare seriously—and asks a defining question: Will we stay unprepared, or will we stand firm in what God has already given us?

Because the enemy may come against you.

But he does not have the final say.

He’s Alive & It Changes EVERYTHING | Preston Morrison Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

The resurrection is more than a moment.It’s more than a story.The resurrection changes everything.

In this message, “Death Could Not Hold Him: He’s Alive & It Changes EVERYTHING,” we walk through Luke 24 and encounter the reality of the empty tomb. The question asked that morning still echoes today: “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Jesus is not there—He is risen, and that truth reshapes both our eternity and our everyday lives.

The resurrection doesn’t just prove that Jesus is alive—it transforms what death means for us and how we live right now. Because He rose, fear no longer has the final word, and hope is no longer uncertain.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

How Jesus’ resurrection removes the fear of death for believers
What it means to have the promise of eternal life with God
How we are set free from the power of sin
What it looks like to live with resurrection power today

This message challenges us to move beyond simply believing in the resurrection—and asks a searching question:

If He is truly alive, what does that change about how we live?

Because Jesus didn’t just rise from the grave.He changes everything.

Why His Presence Changes Everything | Brent Hatchett Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

We all want a miracle.

But what if God wants to give you something greater?

In this message, “From Miracle To Revelation: Why His Presence Changes Everything,” we walk through John 11 and the story of Lazarus to uncover a powerful truth:

Miracles change the moment… but His presence changes your life.

This sermon speaks directly to anyone waiting on God—believing for breakthrough, healing, or intervention—while navigating the tension of unanswered prayers.

In this message, you’ll hear about:

Why miracles still happen—but aren’t something we can control

How to remain faithful while waiting on God

What it looks like to glorify God in uncertain moments

Why proximity to Jesus doesn’t always mean faith in Jesus

How Jesus meets you in your frustration and feels your pain

The difference between a temporary miracle and an eternal revelation

Through the story of Lazarus, we’re reminded that Jesus wasn’t just revealing His power—He was revealing who He is: the resurrection and the life.

Because the goal was never just the miracle.

The goal was that people would believe.

If you’re in a season where you’re asking, “God, where are You?”, this message will remind you that His presence is not absent—and it may be exactly what you need most.

Because even if the miracle doesn’t come…

His presence is still enough.

Returning To The Fear Of The Lord | Isaac Gross Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

Something is missing in the Church today.
Not passion. Not activity.
But awe.

In this message, “Filled With Awe Again: Returning to the Fear of the Lord,” we look at the early Church in Acts and rediscover a foundational truth: when the fear of the Lord is present, everything changes.

They didn’t just gather—they lived with a deep awareness of God’s holiness, power, and presence. And because of it, the Church was strengthened, unified, and multiplied.

This message unpacks what it truly means to fear the Lord—not as terror, but as awe, reverence, and a life that takes God seriously above everything else.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

What the fear of the Lord actually is (and what it isn’t)
Why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and life
What it looks like to walk in the fear of God daily
How the fear of the Lord leads to obedience, holiness, and humility
Why true worship always costs something

You’ll also learn practical ways to grow in the fear of the Lord:

Through knowing His Word
Remembering what He’s done
Fixing your eyes on Him
Living a life of worship

From Acts 2, Isaiah 6, Proverbs, Romans 12, and more, this message calls us back to a posture the Church was never meant to lose.

Because when we lose our awe of God,
we start to take Him lightly.

But when we return to the fear of the Lord,
we become filled with awe again.

You’re Supposed to Make Disciples | Brent Hatchett Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

Following Jesus was never meant to stop with us.

In this message, “You’re Supposed to Make Disciples,” we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 28 and the mission He gave every believer: “Go and make disciples of all nations.”

Jesus didn’t die to create passive church attenders—He died to raise up disciple makers. The call of every Christian is not only to grow in faith, but to help others grow as well.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

Why every believer is called to make disciples

How following Jesus naturally leads to helping others follow Him

Why you don’t have to be “perfect” or know everything to start discipling someone

The four simple steps that help anyone become a disciple maker

How living out your faith becomes the greatest witness to others

We gather to worship, grow in our faith, and then go into the world with the Gospel. Because the Church Jesus builds is not just a place people attend—it’s a movement of people who follow Him and help others do the same.

The question isn’t whether you’re growing in your faith.

The question is: Are you helping someone else grow too?
