GOLIATH AND THE IRON MAN
David didn’t defeat Goliath with a sword—he came with worship and faith. Discover how praise can be your greatest weapon when you face the giants in your life.

David didn’t defeat Goliath with a sword—he came with worship and faith. Discover how praise can be your greatest weapon when you face the giants in your life.
Worship isn’t just music—it’s warfare. In this powerful message, Pastor James Reardon shows how praise can shift atmospheres, break chains, and push back darkness.
At the end of his life, Paul makes it clear: if it’s all about Jesus, it can’t be all about me. A call to live with eternal focus.
Paul’s final charge: preach the Word—in season and out. Every moment is a chance to live and speak the gospel.
From a prison cell, Paul reminds us that all Scripture is God-breathed—our guide for teaching, correcting, and living in righteousness.
In this 9th installment of the Death Row series, Pastor James takes us into 2 Timothy 3 with Paul’s sobering warning from death row: in the last days, people will love themselves, money, and pleasure more than God. Preaching from a Roman prison cell, Paul’s final words remind Timothy—and us—what it means to live with integrity and godliness in a self-obsessed culture. This message digs deep into the signs of a culture gone astray—materialism, narcissism, and hedonism—and contrasts them with a li...
In this powerful message, Death Row 8, we journey with the Apostle Paul as he writes his final letter from death row—urging Timothy, and us, to embrace a lifestyle of holiness. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:20–26, this sermon challenges listeners to become vessels of honor, set apart for God’s purposes. Pastor James uses vivid illustrations—from cleaning products to KitchenAid bowls—to explore what it means to be useful, prepared, and pure in a culture that tempts us with youthful passions. You’ll al...
We share so much information each day, but how often do we share the truth of Jesus and the hope that He brings? It would be inconceivable not to tell and retell the certain and sure truth of Jesus to everybody we can.
What would be worth so much to Paul that he would endure torture, stoning, imprisonment, and eventually death? The apostle Paul elaborates in this next section of his final letter.
Have you ever really counted the cost of following Jesus? In this message from Death Row, Paul reminds Timothy of the cost, and it's more than just escaping flames.
In this message, Pastor James takes us through 2 Timothy 1:13-2:2, calling on our need for community.
This letter is about suffering. Paul consistently shows us to look to Christ in our suffering, in life, and in our service. As Tony Merida wrote, "Religious people find God useful, but cross-bearing disciples find Him beautiful."
Wouldn't it be nice if someone could help you avert some of your pitfalls? Good news: Christians are the forecaddies to the life Christ calls us to. Ever wonder what a "forecaddy" is? Pastor James looks at 2 Timothy 1:4-7.
How can a person going through intense trial or trauma say, "Grace be with you all," as Paul did? This letter to Timothy is about strength, particularly Christ our strength. Christ called you to serve Him, and since He called you, He will credential you.
What does Easter mean to you? Who are you? These are some questions all people must face, one day. Looking at John 20, we explore Resurrection Sunday.
The day Jesus was crucified, darkness was over the whole land from noon til 3pm, darkness that could be felt. And then, after Jesus died, things were quiet. Spiritually dark. Forgotten. What do we do in the in-between, the time between the Cross and the Resurrection, our plea and our rescue? This is the 3rd in a series of teachings on Holy Week.
In this message, Earl Benson shows us that the cross deserves to be in the center of our lives. Is the cross at the center of your life?
The Coast Guard and the US Life Saving Service teach us that rescuers save the shipwrecked. In this first message of Holy Week, we look at Jesus, our rescue, and His new commandment He gave His followers on that final supper.
God wants you to follow Him. Jacob's problem, and sometimes a problem we face, is that we take detours on our journey with God. As we learn from Jacob in Genesis 35, following God is honoring God.
What if God wants me to do the "hard" thing? That think we dread. The call we don't want to make. The emotionally difficult moment we don't want to go back to. The hard thing can be a good thing if it's a God thing. In week 2 of Pillows and Pillars, we follow Jacob to Genesis 31.
How does God move? A question people ask often is, "How do I know God is working in my life?" For the next few weeks, Pastor James takes us through parts of Jacob's life in Genesis, looking at how God moves. In this message, we see that one of the ways that God moves is this: God moves to make His name known.
Christianity naturally strives for excellence. It's what our new heart longs for, what it lives for, and what it wants. In this final message in our series on the Song of Songs called "The Wedding Party," we see in Song 3 that God gets our attention to move us towards excellence.
One of the biggest problems people have emotionally is low self-esteem. But if Christians could see ourselves as God sees us, we'd live totally different. In Song of Songs 6:3, we explore how God sees us.
Who you surround yourself with is crucial in both the wedding party and especially in life. They'll help you stand and seek the Lord. This is part two of our look at the Song of Songs.
In Song of Songs 1:4, we look at our love song with the Groom, that Jesus loves you, and that His song for you wants to set you free -- to give you life, hope and freedom, through the death and resurrection of Christ.
When life squeezes you, what comes out? For some, it's anger. For others, it's fear. Looking at Psalm 119, we hope that Scripture fills you and is what surfaces when life's pressures get to be too much.
George RR Martin once said that readers relive thousands of lives reading while non-readers live only once. The question is, what are you reading? What are you consuming with your mind? In this message, Pastor James takes us to Joshua's life and what he diligently consumed with his mind.
When people see you coming, what do they say about you? In this message, we'll dive into some of the people that Paul met in his life, looking at Romans 16, to be encouraged about the people we meet in our lives.
My friend Dr. Jay Strack has said, "Five years from now you will be the same person you are today except for the places you go, the people you meet, the books you read, and the Scripture you memorize." So where will you take the Gospel? In today's message, we look at Isaiah 52 and how the one who brings the message must go to great lengths to bring the Good News to those who so desperately need it.
The best compliment ever is that someone else glorifies God because of Christ in you. That's the aim for 2025. The question is, "What does your life say?" Join us as we look at Galatians 1 to see what press release you should make about your life here, now, and forever.
