Deep Work 3 | Planting Thoughts

What if the thoughts shaping your life didn’t start with you? In Part 3 of the Deep Work series, Pastor Rory Chance explores how the enemy plants lies beneath the surface of our minds and how those lies can become strongholds that impact our faith, identity, and future. Through the story of Jacob and Joseph, this message uncovers the danger of false conclusions, the power of God’s truth, and the freedom that comes when we take thoughts captive and align our minds with God’s Word. If you’ve been battling fear, anxiety, hopelessness, or confusion, this message will help you recognize the lie, replace it with truth, and allow God to revive your soul.

Deep Work 2 | Breaking the Mold

In Week 2 of “Deep Work,” Pastor Rory explores Romans 12:2 and the story of Book of Daniel to reveal how culture slowly shapes the soul through pressure, distraction, and compromise. This message challenges believers to stop conforming to the world’s pattern and instead develop deep connection, deep conviction, and deep courage through the transforming power of God.

God Has Left The Building | End of Religion - Week 4

In Acts 7, Stephen makes a bold statement: God doesn’t live in buildings—and never has. In this message, Pastor Rory challenges location-based religion and calls us into a Spirit-led life where worship moves beyond walls and into everyday living. Through the Holy Spirit, we don’t just go to church—we become the place where God dwells. The question is simple: Are you holding onto what God did, or stepping into what He’s doing now? Key Takeaway: What changes the world isn’t religion behind walls—it’s Spirit-filled people who refuse to stay behind them. **Because of some technical difficulties during the service, portions of this audio have been affected.

Religion on Repeat | End of Religion - Week 3

About 45% of your life runs on autopilot. What if your faith does too? In “Religion on Repeat,” Pastor Rory explores how easy it is to fall into patterns of spiritual routine without real heart change. Looking at Stephen’s message in Acts 7, this teaching challenges the difference between tradition and truth, behavior and transformation. You can know all the right things… Do all the right things… And still miss what God is doing. If you’re tired of going through the motions, this episode will help you break the cycle and rediscover a faith that actually changes you.
