Hard Work | I Want Greener Grass - Week 1 | June 28, 2026

Some people spend their whole lives wishing for a different field. Proverbs says: tend the one you're in.  In this first message of our new series I Want Greener Grass, Pastor Bill Johnson takes us back to the garden - where work wasn't a curse, but a calling. Drawing from Proverbs and Genesis, Bill unpacks what it looks like to bring diligence, purpose, and even worship to the work God has placed in front of you. --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 28, 2026 I Want Greener Grass | Week 1 Hard Work | Bill Johnson -----------------------------------------------  0:00 — Welcome & Introduction  1:57 — Opening Remarks & Book Introduction  4:14 — Who's Working?  4:46 — Work as Divine Design  7:40 — Work Under the Curse: The Tension We All Feel  9:28 — The Wisdom of Work: What Proverbs Says  10:57 — Diligence Defined (Proverbs 10.4)  13:19 — The Sluggard vs. the Diligent (Proverbs 13.4)  15:56 — Hard Work Produces Results (Proverbs 14.23 & 21.5)  19:32 — Reframing Work: Purpose, Meaning & Worship  25:50 — Work as Your Primary Evangelism Strategy  29:47 — The Priest in the House  32:49 — Community Impact: What If the Church Showed Up on Monday?  33:28 — Closing Thoughts & Book Offer  ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Genesis 1-2 Matthew 6.10 Proverbs 10.4 Proverbs 12.24 Proverbs 13.4 Proverbs 14.23 Proverbs 21.5 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #BillJohnson #GreenerGrass #Proverbs #HardWork

Unexpected Question | Plot Twist - Week 6 | June 21, 2026

Case File 6: Detective's Log Some questions don't just stop you cold - they shake the whole case wide open. In the final chapter of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart takes us to the darkest crime scene in history: the cross. And there, in his greatest moment of suffering, Jesus utters something nobody saw coming - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It doesn't add up. Not on the surface. But dig deeper and the evidence points to something written a thousand years earlier - a Psalm so precise in its detail, so uncanny in its parallels, it could only have one author. The clues were there all along. We just had to know where to look. Then the case takes another turn. It's Father's Day, and every man in the room gets a new assignment. Geoff's father-in-law takes the stand with a piece that'll stop you in your tracks. And when the dust settles, there's a challenge on the table for every man willing to pick it up: eleven ways to become the courageous man God put you here to be. Two messages. One unforgettable morning.   Case Closed. --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 21, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 6 Unexpected Question | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- 0:00 – Intro & Father's Day Welcome 4:08 – Week 6 of Plot Twist: Series Overview 6:32 – Jesus on the Cross — Matthew 27 8:00 – Psalm 22 Parallels to the Crucifixion 11:18 – A Song on His Lips: What Jesus' Words Really Mean 12:26 – Father's Day Reflection & Jerry Brecheisen Introduction 14:14 – Jerry Brecheisen Reads "I Am a Grandpa" 17:16 – Prayer Over Fathers 19:47 – 11 Ways to Become a Courageous Man 20:43 – #1: Trust God More Than Yourself 21:17 – #2: Treat Women with Respect 22:15 – #3: Don't Quit Once You Start 24:28 – #4: Be Honest with Someone About Who You Really Are 25:10 – #5: Go to Church Every Week 29:10 – #6: Identify Fear and Refuse to Give In 29:43 – #7: Base Your Life on Choices, Not Feelings 30:32 – #8: Learn from Another Man Who Loves God 31:02 – #9: Work Hard 31:19 – #10: Take Care of Your Body 31:52 – #11: Never Make Excuses 32:43 – Closing Challenge & Prayer ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Matthew 27.46 Psalm 22.1 Psalm 22.7 Psalm 22.14-15 Psalm 22.16 Psalm 22.17-18 Psalm 22.31 John 19.28 Proverbs 3.5-6 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus #UnexpectedQuestion #FathersDay #Psalm22 #ChurchOnline

Unexpected Anger | Plot Twist - Week 5 | June 14, 2026

The Chosen clip featured in this message is from Season 5, Episode 2. Watch The Chosen here: https://watch.thechosen.tv/seasons/season-5 Case File 5: Detective's Log The temple was supposed to be sacred ground. But somebody had turned it into a racket. In week five of Plot Twist, Pastor Geoff Eckart pulls back the curtain on one of the most explosive moments in Scripture - a scene so raw, so unexpected, it shows up in all four Gospels. Jesus walked into the temple courts that day and didn't like what He found. Tables flipped. Coins scattered. Doves flying. And a city that should have known better. But this wasn't just a man losing His temper. This was something calculated. Something righteous. Something that had been building since before the foundation of the world. The question isn't whether Jesus got angry. The question is what are you doing with your anger? --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 14, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 5 Unexpected Anger | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- 0:00 – What Annoys You? 4:17 – Prayer for NTS & Summer Camps 6:28 – The Temple Cleansing 9:48 – What Made Jesus So Angry? 11:17 – Jesus Wept First: Compassion Before Action 13:40 – Seeing Deeper Than the Surface 15:25 – The Court of the Gentiles & the Extortion System 17:25 – Four Stages of Anger 20:11 – Godly Anger vs. Human Anger: Jesus Had a Plan 23:45 – A House of Prayer for All Nations 25:09 – Called to Be Bridge Builders, Not Bridge Blockers 29:13 – Closing Prayer ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Matthew 21.12–13 Mark 11.15–18 Luke 19.41–46 John 2.13–16 Isaiah 56.6–7 Exodus 19.3–6 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus #UnexpectedAnger #TheChosen

Unexpected Exit | Plot Twist - Week 4 | June 7, 2026

Case File 4: Detective's Log The city was hungry, and the mob was looking for a payoff. In Week 4 of our Plot Twist series, Pastor Geoff Eckart cracks open John Chapter 6 to examine the ultimate sting operation: the feeding of the 5,000. On paper, the setup was flawless. Jesus delivers a massive, miraculous payout on a sunny hillside, and the marks immediately try to corner Him. They wanted a patsy they could force onto a throne—a convenient king to do the heavy lifting against the Roman syndicate. But just as they moved to pin a crown on Him, the Target pulled an Unexpected Exit and split the scene, vanishing into the mountains alone. This file exposes the lethal difference between a genuine, God-given opportunity and a cheap spiritual shortcut. If you've been grifting for a quick fix or wondering why the Big Boss is taking the long route through the dark streets of your life, this investigation reveals the hidden protection hidden inside His direction. Learn how to stop trying to remodel the King into your own image, drop the stress of running your own numbers, and uncover the gritty patience required to wait out the clock on Psalm 37. --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | June 7, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 4 Unexpected Exit | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- Scripture Referenced: Galatians 3.28 Acts 2.17-18 Judges 4 Romans 16.1 John 6.1-15  Psalm 37.1-7 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus #UnexpectedExit

Unexpected Criticism | Plot Twist - Week 3 | May 31, 2026

Case File 3: Detective's Log The rain was coming down hard on the neon-lit streets, washing away the surface dirt but leaving the grit behind. Most people like their Jesus sanitized - a polite, passive character who never pushes back, living like a clean caricature who wouldn't dare rock the boat. But if you take a magnifying glass to the case files, the truth gets heavy. In Case File 3 of our Plot Twist investigation, Pastor Geoff Eckart blows the dust off Matthew 23, where Christ goes completely nuclear on the religious elite. It’s a classic setup: leaders flashing their shiny spiritual badges on the outside while running a crooked racket on the inside. From back-alley compartmentalization to clean cups hiding dirty secrets, Jesus lays out the "Seven Woes" like a rap sheet. But the real twist lands right at the end of the interrogation. This case isn't about pinning the crime on the guy down the street; it forces you to look straight into the mirror and face the primary suspect staring back. True transformation isn't a cheap cosmetic fix to clean up your reputation - it’s a total surrender of the inner life before the clock runs out.   Jesus constantly surprised people through the way He healed, taught, confronted, and walked away from expectations, revealing a purpose far bigger than anyone anticipated. In Plot Twist, we’ll step into six unexpected moments from His life to discover what His actions revealed about His mission and the heart of the Kingdom of God - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeuJOy7iJXjV1GmdVy671hLfNjdDy-ZqA --------------------------------------------- Daybreak | May 31, 2026 Plot Twist | Week 3 Unexpected Criticism | Geoff Eckart ----------------------------------------------- 00:00:17 – Opening 00:01:55 – The Art of the Plot Twist: Why We Love the Unexpected 00:04:49 – General Conference Update 00:06:25 – Daybreak's Annual Church Membership Meeting 00:07:18 – Summer Challenge: The 90-Day Bible Listening Tour 00:08:24 – Primary Text: Sitting in Moses’ Seat (Matthew 23) 00:10:00 – Defining the Seven Woes 00:10:47 – Woe 1: Spiritual Obstruction & the Vibes We Pass to Our Kids 00:13:54 – Woe 2 & 3: Spiritual Misdirection & Compartmentalizing Our Faith 00:19:09 – The Viral Live-Stream Failure: Becoming a Stumbling Block 00:20:44 – Woe 4 & 5: Spiritual Misproportion & Cleaning the Outside of the Cup 00:25:26 – Woe 6 & 7: Whitewashed Tombs & Total Spiritual Rejection 00:29:30 – The Greatest Cause of Atheism 00:31:27 – Life Application: Looking in the Mirror & Changing Through Surrender 00:34:03 – Closing Prayer of Surrender ------------------------------------------------ Scripture Referenced: Matthew 23.1-36 ------------------------------------------------ #DaybreakChurch #GeoffEckart #PlotTwist #Jesus
