Pentecost Sunday (More Than a Moment)

Pentecost Sunday isn’t just about Acts 2, speaking in tongues, or a moment in church history. It’s about the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and the life of the Church.

In this message, Pastor Randy walks through the history and meaning of Pentecost, from Mount Sinai and the Feast of Weeks to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Along the way, he wrestles honestly with modern church culture, discipleship, spiritual formation, discernment, and the difference between hype and genuine transformation.

What happens when we pursue encounter without formation?
What does it mean to be truly dependent on the Holy Spirit?
And how do we avoid settling for the appearance of power while missing the real thing?

This message is both deeply personal and deeply challenging — a call back to authentic dependence on the Holy Spirit, real discipleship, and lives fully surrendered to Jesus.

GLAD (Week 9) Disciple Others

In this message, Pastor Randy reflects on years of ministry, the tension between encounter and formation, and the realization that many Christians experience God in moments but never learn how to walk with Him afterward.

Through personal stories, honest wrestling, and a fresh look at the Great Commission, this message explores what it really means to make disciples — not just converts.

This is the finale of the series… but hopefully the beginning of a movement.

Mother's Day - Chain Breaker (Pastor Don Vining)

In this Mother's Day message Pastor Don Vining delivers a powerful and faith-filled word on breaking spiritual chains in the home. Drawing from the story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, Pastor Don unpacks the authority of persistent faith, the power of prayer, and the freedom Jesus offers to every family.

In this message, you’ll discover the “Four Pillars of Freedom” — declarations of victory over fear, anxiety, brokenness, and bondage through the power of Christ. From midnight breakthroughs to the promise of a sound mind, this sermon is a call to fight for your home, believe for healing, and stand firm in the authority of God’s Word.

If you’ve been battling worry, insecurity, fear, or spiritual heaviness, this message will encourage you to pray boldly, worship loudly, and trust that Jesus is still the Chain-Breaker today.

GLAD (Week 8) Am I a Disciple of Jesus?

In week one we asked a simple question: Are you a disciple of Jesus?

Now, after walking through what a disciple actually looks like, we ask it again—but this time, it’s not theoretical.

In this message, we confront a hard reality: everyone is being formed by something. The question is whether we are being intentionally formed by Jesus or unintentionally shaped by culture.

Looking at Romans 12 and Acts 2, we see that discipleship doesn’t happen by accident. Conformity is the default—but transformation requires a decision. What we give our attention to is what forms us, and in a world driven by distraction and algorithms, that matters more than ever.

This isn’t about trying harder or performing better. It’s about surrender, intentionality, and allowing the Holy Spirit to do the transforming work in us.

At some point, discipleship stops being an invitation… and becomes a decision.

Am I actually a disciple of Jesus?

GLAD (Week 7) Advance the Mission (Generosity)

What does it actually mean to give generously? Not out of fear. Not out of guilt. Not because someone told you you'd be cursed if you didn't.

In this week's message we're talking about one of the most abused topics in the local church — financial giving. We'll take an honest look at how Malachi 3 has been misused, what the widow with two coins actually teaches us about generosity, and why giving is just as much an act of worship as anything that happens on a Sunday morning.

Generosity isn't about hitting a percentage. It's about posture. It's about holding your resources loosely in the hands of a God you trust. And it's one of the most tangible ways we advance the mission of Jesus — inside the church and far beyond it.

This is Week 7 of GLAD — a discipleship pathway we're walking through at Everyday Church. You don't have to be part of our church to apply these principles. But if you're ready to examine what generosity actually looks like in your life — this one's for you.

GLAD (Week 6) Advance the Mission

What does it actually mean to advance the mission of Jesus? In this message we tackle one of the most misunderstood ideas in church culture — serving.

We unpack the difference between a church that exists for itself and a church that exists for the world, and why that distinction changes everything about how we live as followers of Jesus. Serving inside the church matters. But serving people is the mission.

This one will challenge how you think about your everyday life — your job, your neighborhood, your kid's soccer team — and why all of it is fair game for the Kingdom of God.

Easter (Katie Robinson) Wounded

In this Easter message, Wounded, Pastor Katie Robinson shares a powerful reminder that Jesus didn’t just die for our sin—He was wounded for every part of us.

He was betrayed, abandoned, mocked, and crucified… carrying both the visible and invisible pain of humanity.

And yet—He rose.

In this message, we explore how the wounds of Jesus bring healing, how our wounds don’t disqualify us, and how God can use even our deepest pain for purpose.

If you’re carrying hurt—seen or unseen—this message is for you.

Palm Sunday (When Jesus Doesn't Meet My Expectations)

What do you do when Jesus doesn’t meet your expectations?

On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated Him as king—believing He came to fix everything they were facing. But within days, their celebration turned into disappointment… because Jesus didn’t do what they thought He would.

In this episode, we walk through Luke 19 and the tension between who Jesus is and what we expect from Him. Because if we’re honest, we’ve all had moments where prayers went unanswered, situations didn’t turn out, and God felt silent.

But what if He’s still working—just not the way we imagined?

If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment in your faith, this message is for you.

GLAD (Week 5) Love Deeply (Be Real)

In Week 5 of our GLAD series, we continue exploring the second movement of the pathway: Love Deeply.

Most of us want to love God and love people well — so what gets in the way?

In this message, we uncover the real barriers that keep us from loving deeply: wounds, shame, and the absence of safe, authentic community. Through James 5, we see that while forgiveness happens in our relationship with God, healing often happens in relationship with others.

This is a call to move beyond surface-level faith and into a kind of community where we stop performing, start being honest, and experience real transformation.

GLAD (Week 4) Love Deeply

In Week 4 of our GLAD series, we move into the second movement of the pathway: Love Deeply.

Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor — but what if those two commands are more connected than we realize?

In this message, we wrestle with a challenging truth: you cannot claim to love God while refusing to love people.

This is a call away from shallow, surface-level Christianity and back to a faith that is lived out in real relationships, authentic community, and genuine love.
