Southland Christian Church

The Cutting Room Floor | Provider vs. Performer Oct 01, 2025

When it comes to manhood, are you living as a provider or just performing for the crowd?

In week two of Toy Stories, Jon Weece sat down to unpack what didn’t make it into his sermon, Provider vs. Performer. From Joseph’s humility to David’s restraint, and from his father’s influence to his own lessons in leadership, Jon shares why meekness isn’t weakness, it’s strength under control..

This week’s challenge: stop trying to impress, and start serving the people God has placed in your life.

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Jon Weece

What We Discuss: • Joseph & David as models of humility • Lessons from Jon’s dad • The difference between pride and humility • Meekness as power under control • What to do if you didn’t have a strong father figure • Handling criticism and compliments in leadership • The nine most important words: “I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me.” • Why serving is the simplest way to practice humility • Investing in younger men and discipling the next generation

Toy Stories - Ken | Provider vs. Performer Sep 29, 2025

Godly men aren’t called to perform for approval but to provide through humility and love. In Philippians 2, Jesus shows that real strength is found in serving others, not seeking applause. This week, we’ll learn how to lead like Christ by elevating others, taking risks in faith, and leaving people and places better than we found them.

The Cutting Room Floor | Responsible vs. Passive Sep 24, 2025

What does real manhood look like in today’s world?

In this episode of The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott Nickell to dig deeper into week one of our Toy Stories series. Together they unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon, everything from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart to the cultural pressure young men face to delay marriage and family. Scott challenges the myths of adventure and success, points us back to faithfulness in the everyday, and names the upstream issues that ripple through families and culture when men step back instead of stepping up.

Where might God be calling you to stop being passive and take on responsibility?

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell

What We Discuss: • Why conferences can’t replace week-to-week discipleship • Every man’s call to fight battles, live adventures, and rescue beauty, in real life, not just stories • The cultural drift toward delay (marriage, kids, commitment) • Faithfulness in “ordinary” callings • The impact of fatherlessness and passivity in the home • Practical steps for men to engage humbly and intentionally

The Cutting Room Floor | Trailer Sep 17, 2025

In this trailer for The Cutting Room Floor, we sit down to share the heart behind the podcast, why it exists, how it works, and why we think it’ll be a meaningful tool for our Southland family. Every week, our teachers bring so much study, thought, and prayer into a message, but not everything can fit into Sunday morning. That’s where this podcast comes in. It’s a space for the stories, insights, and questions that didn’t make it into the sermon but are still worth talking about. No script. No polish. Just honest conversation that helps us take a deeper look at God’s Word together.

If you enjoy the conversation, make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode, and we’d love for you to leave a comment or review. It helps us know how this podcast is making a difference.

Elephant in the Room | The Impending Return of Jesus Sep 15, 2025

The Impending Return of Jesus (2 Peter 3:1-14): Jesus’ return is something we hope and long for, but it should also motivate us toward evangelism and holiness.

Elephant in the Room | The Dysfunction in Our Churches Sep 08, 2025

Elephant in the Room | The Lies in Our Culture Sep 02, 2025

The Lies in Our Culture (II Timothy 4:1-5): False teaching and myths aren’t hard to find and people seem to buy into them more than ever before. We have to be sober-minded so that we can help point people back to the truth.

Elephant in the Room | The Pain in Our Families Aug 25, 2025

The Pain in Our Families (James 5:13-20): Confession, acknowledgement, and repentance are difficult to embrace but necessary if we want healing and restoration to occur in any area of our lives, especially in our families.

Elephant in the Room | The Threat of Sin Aug 18, 2025

The Threat of Sin (James 1:14-15): Sin leads to death. We often forget how destructive sin is and end up trivializing it and feeding it. Instead we can choose to resist it, avoid it, surrender it, and crucify it.

The Bible Aug 11, 2025

The Bible isn’t just ink on paper, it’s the very Word of God, and it shows us the world the way it really is. When we open it, mark it up, and let it sink in, it equips us for whatever life throws our way. In this message, we’re going back to the basics, bringing our Bibles, and seeing why God’s Word is still the clearest lens for how to live and love.

Head Scratcher | Philemon Aug 04, 2025

Our world doesn't understand equality because it doesn't understand love. In one of the most unique letters in the Bible, Paul challenges a wealthy man named Philemon to treat his runaway slave Onesimus as an equal. In this message we will see how God's love for everyone changes how we view and treat everyone.

Head Scratcher | Benaiah Jul 28, 2025

Benaiah was one of David’s “Mighty Men”—his toughest military fighting group. The Bible describes him as a fearless warrior who is noted for his heroic exploits. He was a brilliant fighter who famously “went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.” This message will focus on the courage God can give us to conquer our biggest threats.

Head Scratcher | The Canaanite Woman Jul 21, 2025

The story of the Canaanite woman is about a woman who asks Jesus to heal her daughter, and he does. Jesus’ response to her proves that God constantly enters new territory and breaks long-held and man-made boundaries. This message will remind us that everyone who trusts Jesus has a seat at his table

Head Scratcher | Ehud Jul 14, 2025

Sin, repent—Rinse and repeat. That was Israel’s spiritual resume, and they often paid dearly for it. But sometimes, a grace-filled God raised an unexpected leader to save them. In today’s message, God’s first-round draft choice was a left-handed (considered a defect in Jewish culture) man named Ehud and the incredible things God did through him.

Head Scratcher | Mephibosheth Jul 07, 2025

Mephibosheth was lame in both feet after falling when he was five years old. The fall occurred after his dad and grandfather died on the battlefield. Though an outcast in a harsh society due to his disability, he later lands a lifetime reward: a seat at the king’s table. This message will focus on God’s love and inclusion of broken people like us and the place we have in his family at his table.

Head Scratcher | Hosea Jun 30, 2025

God sent Hosea into the red light district to marry a prostitute name Gomer. He wanted to use their unorthodox marriage as an example of his unwavering love for his people and how that love can redeem any sin in anyone’s life. In this message we will look at how God refuses to give up on us even when we give up on ourselves.

Head Scratcher | Eutychus Jun 23, 2025

Speed has become a virtue in our culture. We’ve bought into a lie that bigger is better and faster is better, but the results say otherwise. We may not be burned out, but we’re worn out and we’re racing through life and sleeping through experiences that really matter. Slowing down and smelling the roses is a must, and in this sermon we will learn how to do that from someone who didn’t.

Baggage Claim | Carry On Jun 16, 2025

One of the reasons it’s so important to understand that we are free from sin’s bondage, penalty, and guilt is that it increases our capacity, through Jesus, to express joy and experience peace. This message will examine the gift of our freedom in Jesus and how it plays out in our lives in a positive way.

Baggage Claim | Unzipped Jun 09, 2025

Elijah was furious with the false prophets, so much so that he called down fire from heaven on them. Later, Jezebel threatened to kill him, so Elijah ran for his life. He sat down under a tree and begged God to take his life. Sadness and anger are often interwoven. This message will examine how anger debilitates us and how we can recover.

Baggage Claim | Hang Ups Jun 02, 2025

The Enemy Behind My Pain (I Peter 5:8-10): When we face suffering, we need to remember that the enemy wants to use our pain to draw us away from God. This enemy is not to be taken lightly. He desires to devour us. This message will make us more aware of Satan’s intent to destroy us and how we can stand against his attacks.

Baggage Claim | Dirty Clothes May 27, 2025

Peter’s story of guilt and shame is one for the ages. He was part of Jesus’ inner circle, but on the night of His arrest, Peter passionately denied Jesus. He even swore that he didn’t know Jesus. Then, they made momentary eye contact, and Peter ran off and wept bitterly. This message will examine how to recover from our worst sins.

Undisputed | Over the Commonwealth May 12, 2025

Our friends and neighbors see how we live and they know if we really love them. How we express our faith matters in big way at the local level.

Undisputed | Over All the Earth May 05, 2025

The good news about Jesus is something everyone needs to hear so that everyone has the opportunity to respond. We have the beautiful responsibility to take that good news to the very ends of the earth.

Undisputed | Over Creation Apr 28, 2025

Undisputed | Over Death Apr 21, 2025

“He is not here, but has risen.” Those seven words spoken at the empty tomb changed everything for all of us. Because of Jesus’; death, burial, and resurrection we can experience new life.

Holy Grit | Battling Sickness with Compassion Apr 14, 2025

When we love someone who is hurting, it isn’t enough to express sympathy; in reality, that changes nothing. Empathy is a better approach. Empathy empowers compassion to move us to action. This message will remind us that we’re called to identify and understand other’s pain and serve them compassionately.

Holy Grit | Confronting Legalism with Grace Apr 07, 2025

Legalism is what it looks like when one is living on the wrong side of the Cross, not seeing our old nature buried with Jesus and our new life alive in Him. Jesus came to fulfill the law through grace—dying for our sins on the Cross. This message will remind us that legalism loses and grace wins.

Holy Grit | Handling Criticism with Humility Mar 31, 2025

We all need to be prepared to deal with criticism. Criticism is inevitable in this life. As Christians, how we respond to and handle criticism reveals the level of our faith in God. Handling criticism gracefully is possible because Jesus vividly portrayed it, and He’s our example.

Head-Heart-Hands | The Physical Side of Christianity Mar 24, 2025

Real faith helps people in real need. Our faith isn’t only for us; it’s also for others. Jesus demonstrated this daily and we have the opportunity to live in the same way.

Head-Heart-Hands | The Emotional Side of Christianity Mar 17, 2025

When our minds are set on the right things our emotions will follow. Our feelings can and should be shaped by who God is and what He has done for us.

Head Heart Hands | The Intellectual Side of Christianity Mar 10, 2025

We have solid reasons for what we believe and every Christian needs to be well versed in them. This doesn’t mean we should try to bully people into accepting our positions on faith, but we can gently and humbly challenge those who oppose our beliefs.

The Telephone Game | Gossip vs. Instruction Mar 03, 2025

Our speech and our action need to align. Instructing others with our words is only effective when we demonstrate what we teach with our lives.

The Telephone Game | Gossip vs. Encouragement Feb 24, 2025

How, when and what we speak to others matters deeply. When we encourage others with our words it reflects what God has done for us in giving us His Word.

The Telephone Game | Gossip vs. Praise Feb 17, 2025

Controlling our words may be one of the most difficult things to do. The same mouths we praise God with also can be used to hurt and harm others. Understanding how powerful and dangerous words can be can also lead to using them for the ultimate good which is praising God.

The Telephone Game | Gossip vs. Gospel Feb 10, 2025

The Gospel is the good news of who Jesus is and what He has done. When we use our words to spread and share this good news beautiful things happen! Instead of choosing to spread gossip we can spread the gospel.

Build a Strong Family | Scott Nickell Feb 03, 2025

Family, faith, and community—we'll discover how God places the lonely in families and how strong families grow through grace and truth. Southland has always been a place where the broken find belonging. Jesus came to bring people from death to life, and our mission is to join Him in that work.

Build a Strong Future | Jon Weece and Scott Nickell Jan 27, 2025

Jon Weece and Scott Nickell discuss Southland's exciting future.

The Baby & The Bathwater | Build a Strong Church Jan 21, 2025

The Bible describes the church as “the body of Christ.” In other words, the church should look a lot like Jesus. And one of the best things Jesus did for people was encourage them to serve and empower them to lead. Southland will always need an abundance of servant leaders.

The Baby & The Bathwater | Build a Strong Life Jan 13, 2025

In order to have the kind of life we really want; we have to walk away from the current life we have. Jesus specializes in moving people in a new direction towards a stronger life.

A Hunger For God’s Word | Matt Proctor Jan 06, 2025

As we begin the new year, we’re diving into what it means to love God, love people, and grow closer to Jesus. Over the next couple of weeks, as we wrap up 2024 and step into 2025, join us as we explore growth in our relationship with Jesus and how to live out His love!

More Like Him | Connor Hall Dec 30, 2024

As we begin the new year, we’re diving into what it means to love God, love people, and grow closer to Jesus. Over the next couple of weeks, as we wrap up 2024 and step into 2025, join us as we explore growth in our relationship with Jesus and how to live out His love!

Winter Fire | Prince of Peace Dec 23, 2024

We long for peace. We long for the fighting to stop, the pain to cease, and the tears to stop flowing. Jesus made peace for us and peace is available to everyone! Who can we introduce to Jesus this Christmas season?

Winter Fire | Everlasting Father Dec 16, 2024

In a world where things and people wear out, grow old, fall apart, and die we have an everlasting Father who doesn’t get tired. He never fails and he never fades. Who can we extend an invitation to this Christmas season to sit at our table, come to church with us and sit by our fire?

Winter Fire | Mighty God Dec 09, 2024

When life gets painful and the days grow dark we need a strong and mighty God to run to, lean on, and trust. His strength is displayed in our weakness. Who can we lend our strength to this Christmas season?

Winter Fire | Wonderful Counselor Dec 02, 2024

A counselor comes alongside someone in their time of need and imparts truth and wisdom. In a culture saturated with counselors we have the perfect counselor in and through Jesus who came alongside us in our time of need. Who can we come alongside during this Christmas season?

The Rebel’s Guide | Serve An Imperfect Church Nov 25, 2024

No church is perfect because there are not perfect people in the world. That shouldn’t stop us from serving within the church. None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something.

The Rebel’s Guide | Be An Imperfect Friend Nov 18, 2024

Living in community can be scary, but not as scary as being alone, especially when trouble steers our way. We need each other, but we don’t have to be perfect to be a good friend. We already have the perfect friend in Jesus.

The Rebel’s Guide | Get An Imperfect Job Nov 11, 2024

What you do is simply that, it’s what you do. It is not who you are. Working is a good thing but it’s not an ultimate thing. Our ultimate purpose is to honor and glorify God with who we are and what we do. This means our job doesn’t have to provide us with fulfillment, satisfaction, or joy because God is the source of those good things in life.

In Case of Emergency | Stay the Course Nov 04, 2024

We have a purpose far higher than the latest election. We have a mission far bigger than any political platform. We are called and commanded to love God and love people and if we will remain faithful to that mission God promises to strengthen us in the process.

In Case of Emergency | Stay Connected Oct 28, 2024

When the world moves towards chaos we can choose to move toward order. When everyone and everything is dividing and isolating we can choose to remain united. This means we have to choose harmony and listen well to each other.

In Case of Emergency | Stay Calm Oct 21, 2024

Our culture has taught us that whatever we feel is not only real, but should be expressed. The Bible teaches us to control ourselves and stay calm. We don’t know what is ahead, but we can choose ahead of time to keep our heads.

Sucker Punch | Conquering Addiction Oct 14, 2024

No one ever plans to be an addict. It happens incrementally as we indulge in unhealthy behaviors and repeatedly make bad choices. “I can handle it” is the lie we perpetually choose to believe. Eventually, we realize that we can’t handle it. Such is the roller coaster ride of addiction. This message will suggest ways to overcome rather than submit to unhealthy behaviors.

Sucker Punch | Surviving Divorce Oct 07, 2024

Few words elicit more emotion than the word “divorce.” We all evaluate it differently, but when we experience it, there are no words. In this message, we will learn how to help everyone involved in the emotional tug of war get to a place of healing.

Sucker Punch | Battling Depression Sep 30, 2024

There’s a great story in I Kings where Elijah challenges a group of 450 false prophets to a “duel” of sorts and wins a resounding victory. In the very next chapter, we watch Elijah run 100 miles into the wilderness, where he sits under a tree depressed and begs God to take his life. In this message, we’ll learn how God can minister to us in the dregs of depression.

Sucker Punch | Overcoming Fear Sep 23, 2024

“Fear.” Just the sound of the word brings a variety of emotions. It asks the question, “Fight or Flight?” Fear can unnerve us or empower us. Spur us on or hold us back. Everyone struggles with fear, and there are all kinds of fears to stare down in life. In this message, we’ll look at ways to pray away fear’s slimy grip on our lives.

Deconstruction | The Living Room Sep 16, 2024

The level of fear, worry, and anxiety we experience is connected to the amount of time we spend staring at and scrolling through images on screens. What we’re looking for in technology can be found in God’s love for us and the joy it delivers when we surrender to it and train our minds to think about it throughout the day.

Deconstruction | The Kitchen Sep 09, 2024

In many ways, convenience has replaced common sense when it comes to our eating habits and our physical bodies pay the price. Instead of neglecting physical health, we should do everything we can to respect and strengthen what God has blessed us with.

Deconstruction | The Bedroom Sep 03, 2024

Our cultural mantra is, “If it feels good, do it.” We’ve compromised purity for the sake of pleasure. God loves us enough to give us sexual boundaries that are meant to protect us from emotional and physical harm. True sexual freedom is experienced in the safe confines of a committed marriage relationship.

Deconstruction | The Laundry Room Aug 26, 2024

The laundry room is where we turn dirty clothes into clean clothes. The same is true in the church. It’s a safe family where we don’t hide our hurts, habits, and hang ups, rather we surrender them to the transformational power of Jesus.

Deconstruction | The Foundation Aug 19, 2024

In the construction world, a foundation has to be solid before anything can be built on it. The same is true with the Christian faith. Everything we believe is grounded in the reality that every word in the Bible is true because it’s author is trustworthy.

The Junk Drawer | Doubt Aug 12, 2024

We often live as if doubt is the opposite of faith. But what if doubt is a gateway to greater faith? Today, we'll ask "What to do with doubt?" And discover, to struggle with one's faith is often the surest sign we actually have one.

The Junk Drawer | Stronger Aug 05, 2024

If you want to get stronger you only need one thing. Resistance. In Paul’s second letter to Timothy he continues to challenge him to get stronger by giving him three vivid pictures. Soldier. Athlete. Farmer. All three know a lot about facing resistance. Soldiers fight. Athletes compete. Farmers work. If we want to become stronger followers of Jesus we have to embrace the resistance we face on a daily basis as an opportunity to become stronger and more effective.

The Junk Drawer | Bloodstained Pews Jul 29, 2024

How vulnerability transforms a broken church into a church for the broken.

The Junk Drawer | The Middle Ground Jul 22, 2024

In Mark 12:12-17, the religious leaders of Jesus' day tried to trap him saying something he shouldn't say. Jesus refused to fall prey to their polarizing options. Instead, he brilliantly found a middle ground in his response giving us a blueprint for how to navigate difficult conversations. Loving one option doesn't always infer that we hate the other option. Sometimes our choices aren't between right and wrong, but between better and best. In this sermon, we will learn how to find the middle ground with the goal of uniting people in a divided world.

Student Celebration | Connor Hall Jul 15, 2024

Student Celebration | Connor Hall

Slow Mo | Overcoming Difficult Circumstances Jul 08, 2024

Leading hundreds of thousands of people for 40 years in a desolate wasteland was no picnic in the park for Moses. As a leader, he had to improvise, overcome daunting obstacles, deal with difficult personalities, and push past personal insecurities to be effective. In this message, we will learn some simple principles to help us deal with the complex problems we often face in life.

Slow Mo | Overcoming a Bad Decision Jul 01, 2024

In a fit of rage, Moses let his temper get the better of him and he killed an Egyptian soldier. For the next 40 years, Moses had to live in seclusion to avoid being punished for his crime, but God used that season of his life to prepare him for an important task. In this message, we will see how God can take our worst decisions and use them for good purposes.

Slow Mo | Overcoming a Rough Childhood Jun 24, 2024

“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” is definitely a phrase that applies to the first few years of Moses’ life. He was born into slavery, the government tried to kill him before he could take his first steps, his mom gave him up for adoption, and he was raised by foreign people in a foreign land. In this message, we will see that in spite of his challenging childhood, Moses became a man that God could count on and the same can be true for us.

Fish Stories | Jonah’s Anger Jun 17, 2024

Jonah’s Anger (Jonah 4)

Ever get angry because God didn’t do what you thought He should do? Unrealistic expectations and unmet needs produce anger in all of us. The root of it all is pride; the need to be in control. In this message we’ll look at how Jonah reacted when people whom he considered to be unworthy were given God’s mercy and grace. In the process we may recognize some things about ourselves that we need to change.

Fish Stories | Jonah’s Repentance Jun 10, 2024

The most likely time to appreciate God’s mercy is when we’ve made a major mess of our lives. Bad choices and foolish decisions usually create horrible circumstances that leave us in a state of desperation. One of the advantages of being desperate is that we’re likely to understand our need to turn back to God and obey Him. In this message we’ll see ourselves in Jonah as he came to his senses and found his way back to God.

Fish Stories | Jonah’s Rebellion Jun 03, 2024

I’ve heard it said that we can run faster when we lose our way. Ever been there? Me too. Our tendency toward rebellion is part of the fall of humanity and persists to this day more than any of us care to admit. In this message we’ll look at some of the consequences of stubbornness and disobedience that leave us swimming in a sea of regret.

Let’s Dance | Leading My Actions May 28, 2024

A transformed heart leads to a transformed life that results in loving people out of our love for Jesus.

Let’s Dance | Leading My Words May 20, 2024

Let’s Dance | Leading My Prayers May 13, 2024

Prayer is an act of acknowledgement that God is God and we are not. In prayer we humbly and confidently approach our Father trusting that He wants good for us.

Let’s Dance | Leading My Thoughts May 06, 2024

Like the teachers of the law we can “entertain evil thoughts in our hearts.” We can’t control what we think but we can control whether we entertain, feed, and nurture our thoughts.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Parenting Apr 29, 2024

There may not be a more overwhelming task than raising children. The key to being a parent is to recognize that our children do not belong to us. We have the high calling of aiming them toward Jesus in a dangerous world.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Success Apr 22, 2024

Solomon had everything the world uses to measure success and he had more of it than anyone has ever had and referred to it as “chasing after the wind.” We are not in control of life’s outcomes, but we can control our faithful pursuit of following Jesus each day.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Femininity Apr 15, 2024

Our culture teaches women that in order to prove their equality with men they must try to outdo men, or often embrace the worst stereotypes of counterfeit masculinity. The Bible paints a very different picture of what being a woman is all about.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Masculinity Apr 08, 2024

Our culture teaches men that they can gain their value and worth through their performance on a field, at work, or in the bedroom. The essence of manhood is a God given mandate to provide for and protect.

The Verdict Is In | The Peace of God Apr 01, 2024

By leaving his tomb empty, Jesus made it possible for all of us to live without fear. In this Easter message, we will see that even when the daily circumstances of life are uncertain, we have peace in our hearts because our future destination has been secured.

The Verdict Is In | The Pardon of God Mar 25, 2024

We often remember the decisions the most, because our sinful choices create a unique form of spiritual slavery and captivity. In this message, we will look at the eternal freedom Jesus died to give us.

The Verdict Is In | The Sentence of God Mar 18, 2024

From classrooms to living rooms to boardrooms, we live in a country that rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior. In this message, we will see that if we put our faith in Jesus, God will reward us for our good deeds. If we don’t put our faith in Jesus, God will punish us for our bad deeds.

The Verdict Is In | The Justice of God Mar 11, 2024

It takes an all-knowing and all-seeing God to judge the world in a way that tips the scales of justice towards a completely unbiased outcome. In this message we will look at God’s plan to judge the earth of all the right and wrong behaviors and the legal standard he will use to do it.

The Top Shelf | The Self-Sacrificing God Mar 04, 2024

We tend to measure love by a willingness to go the extra mile, sacrifice time, and lay aside personal desires for the good of someone else. God is the most self-sacrificing being in the universe. The ultimate example of that is His willingness to allow His Son to die on the cross for our sin. In this message we’ll talk about the role of self-sacrifice and how no one expresses it better than God.

The Top Shelf | The Ever-Present God Feb 26, 2024

Nothing brings us more comfort and peace than to be in the presence of someone who loves us. Love heals wounds, gives hope and makes relationships flourish. Being loved unconditionally never gets old. In this message, we’ll talk about God’s irrepressible, always-present love that brings security and strength.

The Top Shelf | The All-Knowing God Feb 19, 2024

Who’s the wisest person you know? Our answer to that question probably includes education, insight, emotional intelligence, and breadth. God’s knowledge is unlimited and incomprehensible. He learns nothing because He knows everything. The Biblical term is “omniscience.” In this message we’ll look at the limitlessness of God’s knowledge and how understanding that affects our devotion to Him.

The Top Shelf | The All-Powerful God Feb 12, 2024

What comes to your mind when you think of power? Most people think of status, wealth, education, or influence. When it comes to understanding God’s power we move into an entirely different realm. God can do anything as easily as He can do anything else. In this message, we’ll look at the evidence for God’s amazing, unlimited power.

Storm Warning | Eye on the Sky Feb 05, 2024

Instead of looking to our circumstances for hope and confidence, Jesus challenges us to look at who He is and what He has done. Instead of demanding that He do something for us we can see what He’s already done and live with faith moving into the future.

Storm Warning | Storm Chasing Jan 29, 2024

Sometimes Jesus calls us into something that doesn’t make any sense. In those moments we have an opportunity to trust and obey Him. When we do it’s easy to become distracted by the level of adversity that comes our way after we’ve stepped out in faith. Thankfully, we have a Savior who doesn’t condemn us when we lose sight of Him in the midst of the storm.

Storm Warning | Storm Shelter Jan 22, 2024

When a storm hits in life we can seek shelter in a lot of things. Often the things we run to are destructive. Jesus is the only one who is not only able to save us, but is also with us in the middle of the storm.

Storm Warning | Calm Before the Storm Jan 16, 2024

A well-prepared life must be constructed on a true foundation. There are a lot of ideas, philosophies, and worldviews available to us, but only one will truly hold up when pain, suffering, and adversity comes our way.
