Surrender (Unscripted)

Sometimes, God moves in ways we don’t plan — and when He does, the best thing we can do is get out of the way.

What was meant to be a normal Sunday turned into a beautiful, Spirit-led moment of surrender. There was no outline, no sermon notes, and no set agenda — just a room full of people responding to the presence of God.

This unscripted moment is a reminder that revival doesn’t always come through polish or planning, but through a surrendered heart.

This moment captured something raw and real — from spontaneous prayer to lives being changed right in their seats. One of those moments even included a young woman leading her sister to Christ.

This isn’t a sermon — it’s an encounter.

Jesus Above All (Week 8) Jesus Above My Thoughts (2)

In this powerful continuation of Jesus Above My Thoughts, Pastor Randy dives deeper into what it truly means to renew your mind and resist being conformed to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2).

 

This message goes beyond behavior change and positive thinking—it’s about transformation from the inside out. Using the biblical and cultural roots of words like schema and habitus, Pastor Randy unpacks how our “way of being” is often unconsciously shaped by culture, politics, and environment rather than by Christ.

Jesus Above All (Week 7) Jesus Above My Thoughts

Your thoughts shape your life — for better or worse. In this message, Pastor Randy Robinson talks about what it really means to put Jesus Above Your Thoughts. It’s honest, practical, and a little funny — with stories about complaining, curb hopping, and everyday moments that reveal how easily our minds drift out of alignment. Learn how to renew your mind, realign your thinking, and let God transform your life from the inside out.

Tested, Tried, and Restored (Luis Aran)

Even when we stumble, God’s grace restores and redeems. Luis Aran begins this message with Joseph, whose life reminds us that God can use us in spite of hardship and betrayal. It then turns to Peter — who denied Jesus three times, yet was restored when Jesus met him with grace and renewed calling. Through a close look at the Greek words for “love” in John 21, along with passages like Matthew 10, Luke 22, Isaiah 41, and John 16, we discover a powerful truth: our failures do not disqualify us from God’s purpose. Instead, He meets us where we are and calls us forward with hope and courage.

Find Your Voice (Don Vining)

This week, we were honored to welcome Pastor Don Vining, a faithful minister with a rich history of serving people and proclaiming the Gospel. Drawing from years of pastoral ministry and real-life experience, Pastor Don delivered a heartfelt message titled “Find Your Voice.”

In this encouraging and down-to-earth word, he reminded us that our voice matters — not just on a stage or platform, but in the lives of the people closest to us. From family relationships to everyday conversations, we were challenged to step into the calling God has given us: to speak truth in love, and to live out our faith boldly and authentically.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure of your influence, this message will remind you that God has given you a voice — and it’s time to use it.

Jesus Above All (Week 6) Jesus Above My Past

Your past may explain you — but it doesn’t have to define you.

This week, Pastor Randy builds on the message of repentance and inner transformation by taking us deeper into the roots of our emotional and spiritual struggles. Many of the patterns we battle today — anxiety, anger, insecurity, addiction — were shaped in our formative years and reinforced over time. These faulty foundations don’t go away on their own. They have to be confronted.

Pulling from Romans, Corinthians, and the teachings of Peter, this message challenges us to grow up in our faith, face our shadow, and invite Jesus into the deepest layers of our brokenness. You’ll hear powerful imagery around foundations, identity, and what it takes to truly build a life that reflects the Kingdom of God — not just on the surface, but from the soul level up.

Jesus Above All (Week 5) Jesus Above My Feelings

We live in a culture driven by emotion — where feelings often sit in the driver’s seat of our lives. But what happens when our emotions start leading us away from truth? In this message, Pastor Randy invites us to wrestle with one of the most personal questions in our walk with Jesus: Am I being led by truth or by my feelings?

Drawing from the baptism of Jesus and His call to “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven has come near,” this teaching challenges us to rethink what repentance really means. It’s not just about behavior modification — it’s about total transformation. A new way of thinking. A new Kingdom mindset.

Along the way, we confront the emotional chaos of our current world — from cultural violence to the constant flood of tragic headlines — and are reminded: this isn’t just cultural. It’s spiritual. And our response must be spiritual too.

Whether you’re stuck in emotional ruts, feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts, or longing to live from a deeper place of truth, this message is a timely, Spirit-led wake-up call.

The Heart of a Fighter (Ruthann Kerley)

Some battles are external. Others are within. In this raw and powerful message, Ruthann Kerley shares her personal journey of perseverance — and what it really means to fight the good fight of faith.

 

She opens up about a season where she had to fight to keep moving forward — spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. During that time, even simple things like watching a Rocky training montage in the morning became a reminder to keep getting back up. But her true strength came from something far greater than motivation: it came from God’s Word, God’s presence, and God’s Spirit at work in her life.

 

This message is full of Scripture, heart, and hope — a reminder that the fight isn’t over, and you’re not fighting alone.

 

Key Scriptures:

Romans 7:19, Romans 7:24, Psalm 119:10, 1 Corinthians 9:26, Hebrews 12:1, Hebrews 13:17, Philippians 3:12, Ephesians 6:12, Isaiah 50:7, Matthew 4:2–10, 1 Samuel 17:47, Philippians 1:27, 1 Peter 5:6–7, Proverbs 13:20, Philippians 2:5, Philippians 4:8, Proverbs 24:16, 2 Timothy 1:7

Jesus Above All (Week 4) Jesus Above My Self-Reliance

In a world that glorifies self-help, control, and personal independence, it’s easy to forget the call to full surrender. In this message, Pastor Randy challenges the cultural idol of self-reliance — not by shaming strength, but by exposing pride, anxiety, and the illusion of control. Drawing from the story of Naaman, Proverbs 3, and James 4, you’ll be invited to trade performance for dependence and rediscover the peace that comes only through humility and trust.

Jesus Above All (Week 3) Jesus Above My Pain

Life hurts. Sometimes deeply.

Grief, diagnosis, betrayal, depression — the weight can feel unrelenting.

 

In this message, Pastor Randy walks through Isaiah 61 and the hope Jesus offers not apart from our pain, but in the middle of it. This isn’t a call to pretend everything is fine. It’s a call to trade despair for praise — not because our pain disappears, but because Jesus is greater than all of it.

 

You’ll hear raw reflection, encouragement for weary hearts, and a reminder that God meets us where we are… and invites us to put on the garment of praise even when it feels heavy.
