Understanding Narratives • TSOU S4 E17

This week we have special guest Mackenzie Fisk as we discuss the power of replacing harmful narratives with a better story.

Still Small Voice

In this message, Mackenzie confronts the powerful influence of the narratives we tell ourselves. Through the story of Elijah and his encounter with God, we see the tension between negative self-beliefs and the truth of God’s gentle, loving voice. So what are the stories shaping your life today? Are they rooted in fear, doubt, and inadequacy—or in the transformative truth of who God says you are? Reframing these narratives through Scripture can lead to freedom, purpose, and a deeper relationship ...

Lessons From The Everyday

Have you ever felt like the ordinary parts of life don’t matter to God? In this message, you’ll see how God is present in both the mundane and the miraculous. Through the story of Elijah and the widow, Pastor Paul shows how God works through every moment to provide, guide, and include us in His greater plan. Be encouraged that nothing in your life is too small for His care!

A Spiritual Standoff

What are you offering your life to? Reflecting on the truth that each day we place our time, energy, and resources on an altar, we are reminded to examine where we invest ourselves. In a world of competing "altars" that demand much but deliver little, we’re called to fully devote ourselves to God—the true source of life, purpose, and peace.

Proper Interpretation & Application • TSOU S4 E9

This week we have a very interesting conversation about interpreting and expounding on scripture passages.

Do You Want To Be Healed

What do you really want? In this message, we explore this question through the story of a man stuck for 38 years, both physically and spiritually. Jesus’s question, “Do you want to be healed?” invites us to confront our own areas of stagnation. Too often, we settle for what’s comfortable or place our hope in the wrong things, missing the deeper healing only Jesus can offer. This message challenges us to trust Him, take a step of faith, and experience the wholeness we truly long for....

Bring Them to Jesus

Grace shows us how Jesus’s light guides us, heals us, and brings us closer to God, even when life feels darkest. You'll be encouraged to look for His light right where you are.

Caught

How angry would you have to be to throw a stone at someone’s head? In this message, we reflect on what it means to cast stones—not just physically, but with our words, actions, and silence. In a world filled with anger and fear, we often justify our stone-throwing behavior. But Jesus shows us a different way. Come and explore the powerful story of forgiveness, grace, and the wisdom to put down the stones we carry.

Even Jesus dealt with complicated family dynamics, and His response offers us a powerful example. How do we set boundaries with love? How can we extend grace when family hurts us?
