MVMT | Origins: Week 1 | Todd Williams

In the opening week of Origins, Todd Williams takes students back to the very first words of Scripture—“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” From that single verse, he unpacks three foundational truths: God is the intentional Creator (creationism), He made everything from nothing (creatio ex nihilo), and He made humanity in His image (Imago Dei). Todd reminds listeners that creation isn’t random or accidental—it reflects a personal, loving God who crafted each person on purpose and for a purpose. Drawing from Genesis 1 and Colossians 1, he connects the Creator in the beginning to Jesus, the Redeemer who holds all things together and stepped into creation to restore what sin broke. This message calls every listener to recognize their God-given worth and respond to the truth that creation points to a Creator. Whether hearing this for the first time or growing deeper in faith, Todd challenges students to trust Jesus, live boldly, and reflect His image in the world.

Freedom In Christ | Ellie Fulmer | MVMT

In Freedom in Christ, Ellie Fulmer walks through Galatians 5 to explain what true spiritual freedom means for believers. She contrasts life under the Old Testament law—bound by hundreds of rules and sacrifices—with the grace offered through Jesus Christ. Ellie reminds listeners that Jesus came to free us from striving for perfection and to restore our relationship with God through faith, not works. She challenges believers to live out that freedom by serving one another in love rather than using grace as an excuse to sin. Through personal stories and scriptural reflection, Ellie shows that freedom in Christ isn’t the liberty to do whatever we want—it’s the power to live differently, motivated by love and gratitude. Her message closes with a heartfelt invitation: to drop the weight of guilt, fear, and striving, and daily choose the lasting freedom only found in Jesus.

The Cost of Saying Yes | Brett Avery | GROUPS

In this message, Brett Avery uses a fun opening game to draw students into a deeper challenge from Luke 9 — the question of willingness. Jesus invites three different people to follow Him, yet each gives an excuse that reveals what they’re not willing to let go of. Brett connects this to modern life, showing that true discipleship means putting Jesus first — above comfort, reputation, and even relationships. He reminds listeners that God designed each of us as His masterpiece, created to live boldly and serve a world that desperately needs Him. The question he leaves us with is simple but life-changing: are we truly willing to follow? 

The Two Greatest Problems | Byan Biggerstaff | MVMT

In this message from Luke 9-10, Byan Biggerstaff exposes the two greatest problems in the world: unwillingness and lostness. Drawing from Jesus' encounters with three would-be followers who held back from full surrender, he reveals why "the laborers are few"—not because we lack believers or resources, but because we're unwilling to say yes completely. Every half second, someone dies without knowing Jesus, yet Christians spend as much on Halloween costumes as they do reaching the unreached. Biggerstaff's challenge cuts deep: Will you keep adding Jesus to your comfortable life, or will you surrender everything for the kingdom? For some, that means saying yes to Jesus for the first time; for others, it means finally giving him all of your life, not just part of it. The question is simple but life-altering: Are you willing?

Love Beyond Boundaries | Ellie Fulmer | GROUPS

Ellie encourages students to embrace their faith with courage and compassion. Speaking directly to middle schoolers, Ellie explores what it means to “love beyond boundaries,” drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan and Acts 1:8. She challenges listeners to move from comfort to calling—to choose the way of Jesus even when it’s difficult—and reminds them that every believer is called to be a witness for Christ through how they live and love. With warmth and practical insight, Ellie reminds us that Jesus Himself is the ultimate Good Samaritan—the model for how we care for others and bring light to the world
