Distracted or Devoted

Creating a House of Faith

Pastor Josh Johns focuses on the true core of the church: keeping Jesus at the absolute center rather than focusing on outward presentation or performance. Preaching on Pentecost Sunday, he draws from Mark 2:1–12—the story of four men lowering their paralyzed friend through a dug-out roof to reach Jesus. Pastor Josh outlines four critical requirements for building a genuine house of faith and miracles: - Keeping Jesus at the center of everything - Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus despite distractions or obstacles - Following His lead and prioritizing spiritual salvation over personal comfort Making room for everyone, specifically highlighting inclusivity for the broken and investing in the next generation. Using a physical chair placed in front of the pulpit as a visual metaphor, he challenges the congregation to yield control, expect miracles, and ensure the church remains a life-giving, spirit-led environment.

Distracted or Devoted

In a world constantly pulling at our attention with responsibilities, stress, and busy schedules, it is incredibly easy to lose our devotion to Jesus. We can easily stay busy doing things for Him while completely neglecting time with Him. In this Sunday’s powerful message, "Distracted or Devoted?", we look at the life of Mary of Bethany. While others were focused on the room and tasks around them, Mary broke open her most valuable possession—an expensive alabaster jar of perfume—and poured it all out at the feet of Jesus. Though others criticized her worship as a waste, Jesus defended her devotion. In this message, you’ll discover how to: Choose Jesus over daily distractions Give Him your absolute best, even when it costs you something Stand firm in your faith when your devotion is criticized by the world It's time to stop holding back. Watch now, lay down your distractions, and step back to the feet of Jesus.

Deceived by the Fruit

In this powerful message, Pastor challenges us to examine how even good things can lead us astray through subtle deception. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:23, she masterfully unpacks the critical truth that while all things may be permissible, not all are beneficial. From the original temptation in the Garden of Eden to modern-day struggles with relationships, social media, image, work, and money, discover how seemingly harmless choices can initiate a dangerous "slow fade" away from God's perfect plan. This sermon is a vital call to action, equipping you to stay alert, watchful, and prepared by fully relying on the Holy Spirit, dedicated prayer, and the unwavering truth of God's Word, so you can live a distinct, Christ-like life that shines brightly in a compromising world.

Interruptions That Matter

Life is full of interruptions, but what if some of them are divinely orchestrated opportunities? In this powerful sermon, we explore the story of Jesus, Jairus, and the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5, revealing how Jesus masterfully navigates unexpected moments without losing sight of His ultimate purpose. Discover three profound lessons: how to stay laser-focused on your God-given mission, the importance of being sensitive to the "interruptions" that truly matter (remembering people over paperwork!), and how to complete your mission without sacrificing the ministry along the way. Learn to discern between worldly distractions and divine detours, because sometimes, a stop sign isn't a delay, but a powerful redirection that can change lives forever. Don't miss this inspiring message on embracing God's interruptions!

Never Forsaken

In this message, "Never Forsaken," we dive into Romans 3:1–8 to confront a radical truth: our human unfaithfulness—our mistakes, our lies, and our failures—can never cancel out the divine faithfulness of God. While people change and power fades, God remains the one constant source of truth and strength that you can actually bet your life on.
