The Power of Perseverance

The Power of Perseverance

Runners call it "the wall." For guest speaker, Pastor Justin, it hits around mile 20. And if you've walked with Jesus for any length of time, you've hit your own version of it too. In this message, Pastor Justin gets honest about a truth nobody tells you when you first come to faith: following Jesus is a full surrender, and it's going to be hard. Digging into Paul's race-worn words in 2 Timothy and James' call to let endurance grow, he unpacks why some folks stay the course while others turn back — and three hard-won lessons on attitude, eliminating options, and simply showing up, even when motivation never comes. If you're in a season where quitting sounds easier than pressing on, this one's for you. Saddle up — perseverance isn't a sprint, it's the long ride home.

Sharing the Good News

Good news is meant to be shared — whether it's a wedding announcement, a new grandbaby, or your kid's first goal of the season. So why do we get quiet when it comes to the best news there ever was? In this message, Pastor Jason walks through why sharing the Gospel isn't about being a "closer" — it's about being a witness. He unpacks the real problem sin creates (Romans 3:23, 6:23), the judgment we can't talk our way out of (Hebrews 9:27), and the incredible truth that Jesus already did what we could never do for ourselves (John 5:24, 1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus isn't running from us — He's standing at the door, knocking, wanting back in. It's also why we're pursuing new land, dreaming about a permanent home, and talking about adding a second service this fall. More room means more people who get to hear this news. Because Mark 16:15 isn't a suggestion — it's a command: "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." Where do you stand today? And who's waiting on you to share it with them?

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.
