True Fiction | Wk 2 - The Sower | Pastor Kim

Why do some people hear God's Word and experience lasting transformation while others seem unchanged? In Week 2 of our True Fiction series, Pastor Kim Hoyt explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23) and reveals that the difference isn't the seed. It's the soil. Through powerful biblical teaching and a deeply personal story of healing, Pastor Kim reminds us that every heart goes through seasons. Some become hardened by pain, some remain shallow, others become crowded by life's distractions. But God has never looked at a heart and declared it beyond hope. The Gardener is still cultivating. The seed is still good. And new life is still possible. If you've ever wondered whether your heart can be restored, this message is for you. Scripture: Matthew 13:1-23

True Fiction | Wk1 -New Kingdom | Pastor Rob

True Fiction | Week 1: New Kingdom What if the stories Jesus told weren't just clever illustrations... but invitations that exposed the condition of our hearts? In Week 1 of our new summer series, True Fiction, Pastor Rob unpacks two of Jesus' shortest parables: the new wine and old wineskins and the new patch on an old garment. These fictional stories carried eternal truth, challenging people then and now to let go of old ways of thinking so they can receive the new life Jesus offers. Discover why Jesus taught in parables, why some people walked away transformed while others simply thought, "Cool story, bro," and what it really means to have ears that hear. The question isn't whether you've heard the story. The question is... has the story changed you? Listen now and discover how Jesus still uses simple stories to transform willing hearts.

Heart of the Father | Pastor Chris

Most of us know Luke 15 as the story of the Prodigal Son. But what if we've been looking at the wrong person all along? In this Father's Day message, Pastor Chris Hoyt explores one of Jesus' most beloved parables through a different lens. This isn't simply the story of a rebellious son. It's the story of a faithful Father. As Jesus responds to religious leaders who questioned why He welcomed sinners, He paints a breathtaking picture of God's heart. A Father who gives freedom instead of control. A Father who remains faithful even when His children wander. A Father who runs toward reconciliation instead of waiting with condemnation. If you've ever wondered whether you've wandered too far, made too many mistakes, or somehow disappointed God beyond repair, this message is for you. Discover the incredible truth that while the son forgot who he was, the Father never forgot whose son he was. And maybe today you'll discover that God isn't standing with crossed arms waiting to condemn you. He's watching the road, maintaining a place for reconciliation, and ready to run toward you the moment you turn toward home. Scripture: Luke 15:1-32 (NLT)

Jesus Chats | Wk4 -Jesus Chats with the Disappointed | Pastor Kim

What do you do when God doesn't meet your expectations? Most people don't wake up one day and decide to struggle with their faith. More often, disappointment slowly creates questions. Prayers go unanswered. Circumstances don't change. Expectations shatter. And somewhere in the middle of it all, we find ourselves wrestling with what we thought God would do and what we've actually experienced. In the final week of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Chris explores the story of Thomas, a disciple often remembered for his doubt but better understood through the lens of disappointment, grief, and honest questions. Through this powerful conversation, we discover that Jesus is not intimidated by our struggles. He doesn't abandon us when we're hurting, He meets us where we are, and He can use our questions to lead us into a deeper, more personal faith. If you've ever felt disappointed, confused, distant from God, or unsure of what you believe, this message is for you.

Jesus Chats | Wk3 - Jesus Chats with the Successful | Pastor Chris

In Week 3 of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Chris explores one of the most surprising conversations Jesus ever had, His encounter with the Rich Young Ruler in Mark 10:17-22. Unlike the broken and hurting people we've looked at in previous weeks, this man appeared to have everything together. He was successful, respected, moral, and spiritually sincere. Yet Jesus saw something beneath the surface that no one else could see. Through this powerful conversation, we discover that outward success can sometimes hide inward emptiness, and that the greatest obstacles to following Jesus are often the things we trust more than Him. Whether it's money, achievement, approval, relationships, control, or certainty, Jesus lovingly exposes the hidden idols that compete for our hearts. This message reminds us that surrender is not about losing life, it's about finding it. Because every conversation with Jesus eventually leads to the same question: What still owns your heart? Join us as we discover how Jesus confronts hidden idols, invites us into deeper trust, and leads us into the freedom that only true surrender can bring.
