Beyond Church

Hope Stayed - Fixed Eyes (Part 9) - Pastor Nate Schlegel - 05.17.26

You keep forgiving — and then you find yourself right back at the same place. This one is for you. In Fixed Eyes — Part 9, Pastor Nate tackles the cycle most people can't seem to break: forgiving, then sliding back into blame, bitterness, or regret — toward others and toward themselves. He shows why praise isn't just a church activity — it's a weapon. It silences the accuser, anchors you to the promises of God, and gives you the staying power to actually advance instead of reverting. Using Abraham's story in Romans 4 and Isaiah 61, Pastor Nate makes the case that the answer to the cycle isn't more willpower — it's a mouth full of the right thing. 📖 Series: Fixed Eyes | "Hope Stayed" — Part 9

Rightly Dividing the Word

You've read the Bible. But have you ever walked away unchanged — and wondered why? This message is for anyone who's ever felt like the Bible was just words on a page instead of something alive and real. In Rightly Dividing the Word, Kevin Fletcher breaks down why so many believers read Scripture without experiencing transformation — and what actually changes that. He walks through the difference between reading the Bible for information versus revelation, why mixing the Old and New Covenants creates confusion, and how Jesus is the center that makes the whole thing come alive. This isn't a theological lecture — it's a practical reset for how you approach God's Word every single day.

Tend The Garden - Pastor Evan Schlegel - 05.10.26

What’s growing in your heart? Because whatever you allow in your heart will eventually show up in your words… and whatever is in your words will shape the atmosphere of your home. In this message, Tending the Garden, we unpack the truth that our hearts are like gardens. And whether we realize it or not, we are constantly cultivating something. The question is: Are we cultivating faith, honor, love, and unity?Or are we allowing offense, criticism, irritation, and division to grow beneath the surface? Scripture tells us to “guard our hearts with all diligence,” because the condition of our heart affects everything: * Our words * Our relationships * Our homes * Our marriages * Our church family In this message, we talk about: * Why “what I allow grows” * How division starts as a thought before it becomes a conflict * The power of words to create life or death * How honor changes the atmosphere of a home * Why faith-filled words awaken destiny in others * Jesus’ prayer for unity before going to the cross A healthy family doesn’t happen accidentally. A healthy marriage doesn’t happen accidentally. A healthy church doesn’t happen accidentally. Someone has to tend the garden. The truth is: * Your words carry spiritual weight * Your atmosphere is being shaped every day * And what you speak over people matters more than you realize Faith words create faith atmospheres. Honor creates unity. Love protects what God is building. So the question is: What are you cultivating?

Fear Not - Fixed Eyes (Part 8) - Pastor Nate Schlegel - 05.03.26

You can't redo yesterday. But that doesn't mean you're sentenced to it. This message is for anyone still carrying something they can't undo. In Fixed Eyes — Part 8, Pastor Nate unpacks the difference between regret and conviction — two things that both start with "I messed up" but lead to completely different places. Regret keeps you in a loop, letting yesterday write your tomorrow. Conviction moves you: you acknowledge it, bring it to God, and walk forward. This message is about self-forgiveness, fear, and why the love of God isn't just comforting — it actively drives out the thing that's been writing your future.
