The Lost Art of Sacrifice

The Lost Art of Sacrifice

We live in a world obsessed with free — free shipping, free content, free everything. And honestly? That same entitlement has crept into the church. In this standalone message, Pastor Jason opens 2 Samuel 24 and lets King David show us what we've been missing: a spirit of sacrifice that costs something real. Because great sacrifice becomes great worship — and to follow Jesus is to carry that same spirit into every part of our lives.

Take A Stand

There's something about a good war movie that just hits different — because deep down, we know freedom costs something. And if we're honest, most of us are standing for a whole lot less than we were built for. In this message, we dig into one of the most underrated chapters in the Bible — David's Mighty Men in 1 Chronicles 11. These guys weren't just soldiers. They were legends. Two men held a barley field against an entire army. One man chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day and killed it. Another showed up to a spear fight with a club — and won. You know why we know their names? Because they took a stand. Here's the hard truth: following the crowd will leave you running from fights you were literally built for. Marriage. Family. Faith. Addiction. Sin. These aren't fights to dodge — they're fights to run toward. Taking a stand is going to cost you something. Time. Comfort. Pride. But the bigger question isn't what it costs you to stand — it's what it costs your kids, your grandkids, and the generations behind you if you don't. Courage doesn't come first. Conviction does. And when you find something worth dying for — that's when God steps in and does something miraculous. You were made for more than comfort and convenience. You were made to stand.

When Now Invades the Future

You're living in someone else's answer to prayer right now. The inheritance somebody left. The sacrifice somebody made. The well somebody dug. You didn't earn it — you just showed up and started drawing from it. And here's the question that should keep you up at night: What are you digging for somebody who hasn't shown up yet? Every choice you make right now is quietly invading someone's future. That's not a concept. That's a reality. And it raises a pretty important question: What are you paying the price for today that future generations will still be drawing from? In this episode, we dig into John 4 and the story of the woman at the well — a tired Savior, a broken woman, and a well dug nearly 2,000 years before that moment by a man named Jacob who had no idea what God was setting up. Jacob just had a need. God had a legacy in mind. We're not just talking about buying land or putting up a building. We're talking about doing the kind of hard work — the hand-dug, no-guarantees, nobody-pats-you-on-the-back kind of work — so that people who haven't even been born yet can encounter Jesus in a real and life-changing way.

Forgotten God - Who's Guiding You?

A good guide makes all the difference. When Jason went deer hunting with a guide, he expected a doe — and ended up with a 140-class buck. The right guide put him in a better place than he ever would've found on his own. In this final episode of our current series, we're asking the question that shapes everything else: Who — or what — is guiding your life? Your emotions? Your desires? The world's opinion? Or the Holy Spirit? Drawing from Galatians 5, Jason walks through one of the most honest and uncomfortable assessment tools in all of Scripture. Paul lays it out plainly — the works of the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit — and it doesn't take long to see which list is doing the guiding in your life. The good news? The Spirit doesn't ask you to will yourself into a better version of you. He simply invites you to spend time with Him. If life feels like a fight right now, this episode is for you. And if it doesn't feel like a fight at all — this episode might be especially for you.

Forgotten God - Mind Games

The further you go, the louder the voices get. In team roping, the first round feels good — calm, confident, competing like you belong. But when the pressure hits and the money's on the line? That's when the mind games start. I can't. I'm a fraud. I'm not good enough. I'm about to get exposed. Sound familiar? Those aren't just roping problems. That's the enemy's playbook — and he's running it in every area of your life. In this episode of Forgotten God, we're talking about one of the most overlooked things the Holy Spirit actually does for us — He changes the way we think. We dig into Romans 8 and get honest about the thought patterns keeping us stuck. The lies we've believed so long they feel like truth. The rules we keep trying to follow that only make things worse. The sins we've justified because it's just the way we're wired — or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves. Here's the reality: you are not a victim of what's in your head. You are controlled by what you give control to. And the Holy Spirit came to change exactly that — breaking sin's power by giving us a completely new way to think. You're one new thought pattern away from a new life. This conversation is for anyone fighting a failing marriage, struggling as a parent, losing the battle with a sin that won't quit, or just tired of believing a lie. The Spirit is ready to expose what's false and replace it with what's true. Are you ready to let Him?
