In this message, Pastor Chad Veach concludes the series on trusting God with our finances by teaching the importance of putting God first in every area of life. Speaking from Malachi 3, he reminds us that God's faithfulness comes before our response: even when we are unfaithful, He remains faithful and continually invites us back into relationship with Him. Tithing, therefore, is not simply a financial practice; it is an expression of surrender and a reflection of our relationship with God. Pastor Chad explains that honoring God with our first fruits means giving Him the first and best, rather than whatever is left over after everything else has been paid. Pastor Chad shares four key principles of the God-first life: we honor God with our first, tithing is an act of trust, Jesus teaches us to put God first, and Jesus is our redeeming sacrifice. He emphasizes that tithing is about trusting God's wisdom and provision, not trying to manipulate Him into giving us more money. It is an act of obedience that reflects our gratitude for everything God has already provided. But putting God first goes far beyond finances. Our time, relationships, words, decisions, priorities, and actions should all honor Him. Through Jesus' teaching about the Pharisees and the rich young ruler, Chad challenges us to recognize that outward religious actions mean little if our hearts are not fully surrendered to God. The message ultimately points to Jesus as God's first and greatest gift—the Lamb of God who gave His life so that we could be made right with Him. Because God gave His very best for us, our response should be a life of wholehearted surrender: not simply giving God a portion of what we have, but allowing Him to lead every part of who we are. Pastor Chad reminds us that following Jesus comes with a cost, but that cost is our whole life, not merely 10 percent. The invitation is to move from fear to faith, from self-reliance to trust, and from putting God somewhere in our lives to making Him first in everything.SEED NOT STORAGE | Julia Veach

In this message, Pastor Julia Veach teaches from 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 about living a life of generosity. She explains the difference between bread and seed: bread is what God provides to sustain us, while seed is what He entrusts to us for His purposes. Sometimes we focus so much on what God has given us that we miss what He wants to do through us. Like seed stored away, our resources have potential, but they cannot produce a harvest until they are released. God has given us more than we need simply to hold onto; He wants His blessings to flow through our lives and impact others. Pastor Julia shares four principles of generosity: God provides the seed, generosity begins in the heart, the seed is meant to be sown, and God brings the growth. Generosity is not just a financial decision; it is a heart decision rooted in gratitude, surrender, and trust. God may be asking us to give our finances, time, talents, encouragement, or willingness to serve. When our hearts are touched by God's goodness, our hands become open to share it with others. True generosity is not motivated by pressure or obligation, but by a cheerful heart that recognizes how much God has already given. The message concludes with the reminder that we are called to plant and water, but God is the one who makes things grow. We may never see the full harvest of the seeds we plant; our generosity today may impact someone else's life or even bless generations to come. Whether through serving, encouraging, giving, or meeting a practical need, every act of generosity can become part of God's greater purpose. Pastor Julia challenges us to move beyond simply receiving God's blessings and become vessels through which His goodness reaches others. The goal is not just to be blessed, but to be a blessing—and to see our seed become someone else's thanksgiving to God.MANAGING WHAT BELONGS TO GOD

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches “Managing What Belongs to God,” emphasizing that everything we have ultimately belongs to God and is entrusted to us to steward faithfully. Using Jesus’ parable of the talents in Matthew 25, he explains that the goal is not simply to become financially responsible, but to allow our relationship with Jesus to transform how we view and manage our resources. Our money, talents, relationships, and opportunities are gifts from God, and we are accountable for how we use them. Rather than burying what God has entrusted to us out of fear or neglect, we are called to manage it wisely and faithfully. As Pastor Chad explains, “Jesus doesn’t teach me how to manage my money as much as he changes my relationship with money.” Pastor Chad outlines four practical principles for biblical financial stewardship: know where your money is going, manage it wisely, grow it intentionally, and give generously. He encourages listeners to examine their finances honestly, create a budget, practice intentional work, and develop a long-term plan for stewardship. These practical habits are not simply about accumulating wealth; they are about aligning our finances with God’s purposes and developing a heart that reflects His generosity. He also challenges believers to recognize that their jobs, abilities, and opportunities are resources, but God is the ultimate source of everything they have. The central message is that faithful stewardship begins with surrender to Jesus. Instead of treating our possessions as entirely our own, we should recognize that we are managing what belongs to God and will one day give an account for how we handled it. Pastor Chad challenges the church to trust God with its financial future while taking practical steps toward financial freedom, wise management, and generous living. The ultimate goal is not merely to have more money, but to become more faithful with what God has already entrusted to us. When Jesus changes our hearts, He changes our relationship with money—and our resources become tools for His purposes rather than masters of our lives.JEHOVAH JIREH MY PROVIDER | Chad Veach

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach launches a new series titled In God I Trust with a message called “Jehovah Jireh: My Provider.” Using the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, Pastor Chad teaches that God knows what we need before we know what we will face. Just as God provided a ram in place of Isaac, He remains faithful and trustworthy in every season of life. The message emphasizes that God is not against people having money, but He does not want money to become the thing they trust. As Pastor Chad explains, “God is not mad if you have money. He is mad if money has you.” Believers are called to trust in God’s character, faithfulness, and promises rather than relying solely on their own abilities, finances, or circumstances. today.txt Pastor Chad shares four questions to help people strengthen their trust in God: If God can take care of creation, how much more will He take care of me? If God took care of me in the past, why wouldn’t He take care of me right now? If God is in control, why am I so worried? And if God is my provider, why did I stop depending on Him? Through Scripture and personal stories, he encourages the church to replace worry with worship and remember God’s faithfulness through every season. He reminds listeners that their jobs, paychecks, and talents are resources, but God is the source. Rather than living in anxiety about finances, believers can depend on Jehovah Jireh, trusting that He knows their needs and remains a good and generous Father. today.txt The message concludes with a challenge to develop a healthier, more faithful relationship with money through prayer, budgeting, intentional work, practical steps toward financial freedom, and biblical stewardship. Pastor Chad encourages the church to manage money wisely, grow it intentionally, and give generously without allowing wealth to become a master. The central takeaway is that money should serve our lives, but God should lead them. When our trust is rooted in God rather than our financial circumstances, we can live with greater peace, generosity, and confidence in His provision. As Pastor Chad declares, “Money is a terrific servant. It is a terrible master.” today.txtTHE SEASON CHANGED, THE WORK HAS NOT | Chad Veach

In this concluding message of the Joshua series, Pastor Chad Veach teaches that “The Season Changed, The Work Has Not.” Drawing from Joshua’s journey into the Promised Land, he reminds the congregation that every season of life brings new responsibilities, but our calling to serve God remains the same. Reaching a breakthrough, achieving success, or receiving what we have prayed for does not mean our work is finished. God still has more for our lives, families, businesses, and communities. As Pastor Chad emphasizes, “Anyone can conquer, not everyone can steward.” We must learn not only to receive God’s blessings but also to care for, grow, and faithfully manage what He entrusts to us. Pastor Chad highlights three key lessons: there is still more to do, remain faithful to God after success, and trust that not one word from God will fail. Gratitude helps us remember what God has already done, while faith keeps us believing that He is not finished. Through Joshua’s challenge to Israel to choose whom they would serve, the message warns against becoming complacent or turning toward idols after experiencing God’s goodness. Our faithfulness is not an attempt to earn God’s favor; it is a response to the grace and faithfulness He has already shown us. As Pastor Chad puts it, “I am not initiating faithfulness. I am responding to God’s faithfulness. The message closes by returning to Joshua’s identity as a servant of the Lord. Despite his age, leadership, and accomplishments, Joshua remained a servant until the end. Pastor Chad contrasts Joshua’s earthly life with Jesus’ eternal reign, reminding believers that the mission of God’s Kingdom continues beyond every personal season or achievement. The seasons may change, but our commitment to serve Jesus must remain. Rather than settling into comfort after a victory, believers are challenged to keep serving, reaching people, welcoming others, and pursuing all that God has called them to do.LOOK TO YOUR FUTURE AND SMILE | Chad Narayan

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Joshua 1 about how God prepares us for the promises He has prepared for us. The promise for believers isn't simply a better house, career, or circumstance—the greater promise is Jesus, grace, and everlasting life. Pastor Chad explains that God develops, trains, shapes, and prepares us before bringing us into the next season. Joshua spent years serving under Moses before God called him to step into his own leadership, showing that preparation often happens long before the opportunity becomes visible. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to step into their grace, become strong and courageous, and stay rooted in God's Word. At some point, we have to stop living off someone else's faith and learn to hear God's voice for ourselves. Joshua's obedience wasn't an attempt to earn God's promise; it was a response to the promise God had already given. In the same way, our obedience flows from God's grace rather than earning His love or salvation. Ultimately, the message is a call to get ready for what God is preparing you for. You may not feel ready, qualified, or strong enough, but God sees where you're going—not just where you are today. As you remain faithful, stay in His Word, and learn to follow His voice, He can prepare you to step into your calling at the right time. The greater promise isn't a destination or possession; the promise is Jesus and the rest we find in Him.NO CHANCE | Chad Veach

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach continues the series on Joshua with a message titled “No Chance.” He teaches that God has already prepared a promise for His people, and He also prepares them for the promise. The promise for believers is ultimately not a piece of property or earthly success, but Jesus, grace, and everlasting life. Joshua’s journey shows that God develops, trains, and shapes people before bringing them into what He has prepared for them. Pastor Chad highlights three responses God calls Joshua to embrace: step into your grace, be strong and courageous, and stay in the Book. Joshua had spent years serving and learning under Moses before God called him to lead, reminding us that preparation often happens before the opportunity becomes visible. Eventually, we must stop depending solely on the faith or voice of our mentors and learn to hear God for ourselves. God sees where we are going, not merely where we are now, and His hand can be on our lives before He moves us into a new season. The message also emphasizes that strength produces courage. Strength comes from spending time in God's presence, while courage enables us to have difficult conversations, repent, step into responsibility, give, connect with others, and follow God when we feel unprepared. Finally, Pastor Chad stresses the importance of staying in God's Word: “This book is alive and active.” The Bible is not simply something we study; God uses it to speak, shape, strengthen, and prepare us. The message closes with the recognition that we have no chance without God's grace and no shot without His power, but through Jesus we have true rest, victory over sin and death, and an eternal inheritance.PRIVATE PREPARATION | CHAD VEACH

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Mark 4:35–41 about what it means to follow Jesus when life gets difficult. The disciples entered a storm after obeying Jesus, reminding us that doing the right thing and being in God's will does not mean we will never face storms. Storms can come when we are tired, overwhelmed, or already dealing with other challenges, and they often arrive without warning. Pastor Chad encourages us not to allow what is happening on the outside to get on the inside, but to keep putting our faith in God even when we cannot understand what He is doing. Pastor Chad emphasizes the importance of having godly community during difficult seasons—people in the boat with us who will encourage us not to panic, but to trust God. He reminds us that there is purpose and destiny on the other side of the storm, so we cannot afford to quit or throw in the towel. The storm may be preparing and strengthening us for what God has ahead. Ultimately, the story reveals who Jesus is: He is Lord, He is in control, He is our Good Shepherd, our provider, and our healer. The message closes with a powerful reminder: Jesus is not surprised by your storm, and He is not absent from it. Just as He calmed the wind and waves for the disciples, He has authority over whatever we are facing. Whether we are believing for restoration in our marriage, provision, healing, breakthrough, or something new, the call remains the same: keep putting your faith in Jesus. His presence in the boat is greater than the storm around it.WIND & WAVES | Chad Narayan

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Mark 4:35–41 about the wind and waves of life. The disciples were in a storm not because they had done something wrong, but because they had obeyed Jesus and followed Him into the boat. Pastor Chad reminds us that we can do everything right and still find ourselves in a storm. Storms often arrive without warning and when we are already tired, but they don't mean God has abandoned us. In fact, the storm can be part of the path God is using to strengthen, prepare, and reveal us. Pastor Chad encourages us not to allow what is happening on the outside to get on the inside. We may not be able to control the wind and waves around us, but we can choose where we place our faith. He emphasizes the importance of godly community and being careful who we “panic with,” because we need people who will remind us to trust God when fear takes over. The message ultimately points us back to Jesus: He is Lord, He is in control, He is our Good Shepherd, our provider, our healer, and He is with us in the boat. The central encouragement is to keep putting your faith in Jesus and don't quit. There is purpose and destiny on the other side of the storm, and God can use difficult seasons to prepare us for what comes next. Most importantly, Pastor Chad reminds us that Jesus' presence matters more than His power—if His presence is with us, so is His power. Even when it feels like God is sleeping through our storm, He was there the whole time.I GOT THE POWER | Chad Veach

In “I Got the Power,” Pastor Chad Veach concludes the freedom series by teaching that believers cannot live free through their own strength—they need the power of the Holy Spirit. Freedom is received, learned, and fought for, but the ability to stay free comes from God. Drawing from Acts 1, Pastor Chad explains that Jesus told His disciples not to begin their mission until they had received the Holy Spirit’s power. The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of following Jesus; He is essential for overcoming the addictions, unforgiveness, lust, greed, comparison, and other chains that try to pull us back into bondage. Pastor Chad describes this relationship in two ways: “The Holy Spirit is in me for me” and “The Holy Spirit is on me for others.” Within us, the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, comforts, convicts, strengthens, transforms, and continually points us toward Jesus. Upon us, He gives spiritual gifts that enable us to serve and strengthen others. As Pastor Chad puts it, “The Holy Spirit is in me to form Jesus in me. He is on me so that Jesus flows from me.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to end with us. God sets us free for worship, relationship, and mission. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to take the freedom they've received into their everyday lives, allowing God to use ordinary conversations, relationships, workplaces, and unexpected encounters to reach others. The challenge is to surrender control and say, “Here I am, your servant. Use me as you see fit.” When we depend on the Holy Spirit, we don't simply experience freedom ourselves—we become people God can use to help others find freedom too.STANDING POWER | CHAD VEACH

In this Anniversary Sunday message, Pastor Chad Veach celebrates 11 years of Zoe Church while challenging believers to fight for the freedom Jesus has given them. Freedom is first received, then learned, but it must also be fought for. Drawing from Galatians 5:1, Pastor Chad declares, “I’m standing because I’m staying.” Following Jesus requires a determination not to return to old thinking, relationships, habits, jealousy, greed, or anything else that once held us in bondage. Staying free means standing firm in Christ, surrounding ourselves with community, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus instead of becoming distracted by what is happening in other people’s lives. Pastor Chad also teaches that fighting for freedom means knowing when to stand and when to run. Using Peter walking on water and Joseph fleeing Potiphar’s wife, he shows that there are moments when believers must intentionally run from environments, relationships, temptations, and compromises that could destroy their destiny. Freedom is too valuable to play around with the things that once kept us bound. As Pastor Chad puts it, “You can have my jacket, but you can’t jack my calling.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to be used selfishly. God sets us free so that we can serve others and become planted in community. Reflecting on Zoe Church’s 11-year journey, Pastor Chad emphasizes that the church was built through people who decided, “It’s not about what we can get anymore, it’s about what we can give.” The call is to stand in freedom, serve the house of God, stay connected to people, and use the story of what God has done in our lives to help others find freedom too.Tares and Thorns | Pst Mark Varughese

In this message, Pastor Mark Varughese teaches that the greatest threats to our spiritual fruitfulness are not always the obvious problems around us, but the hidden issues growing within us. Using Jesus’ parables of the soils and the wheat and tares, he distinguishes between the tares around us—people, circumstances, disappointments, and offenses—and the thorns within us—unforgiveness, resentment, fear, anxiety, cynicism, pride, and unbelief. The tares may be visible, but the thorns are what choke the Word of God and keep our lives from producing thirty-, sixty-, and hundredfold fruit. Pastor Mark explains that believers must learn to “garden” their hearts. Guarding the heart does not mean isolating ourselves from people; it means allowing God to remove the attitudes and wounds that do not belong there. Rather than constantly changing jobs, churches, relationships, or circumstances, we are called to deal honestly with what those experiences have produced inside us. The person may have caused the pain, but the condition of our heart remains our responsibility. Ultimately, this message is an invitation to daily surrender. A little daily gardening is better than waiting for a major spiritual crisis. Pastor Mark encourages believers to pray regularly, “Create in me a clean heart,” and trust God as the divine gardener who knows exactly what needs to be removed. Jesus wore a crown of thorns so we would not have to carry thorns in our hearts, and when we let God do His work within us, our lives can become healthy, free, and fruitful.No Turning Back | Chad Veach

In part two of the “Rent Free” series, Pastor Chad Veach preaches a message titled “No Turning Back,” challenging believers to stop romanticizing the very things God delivered them from. Using the Israelites in Numbers 11, he shows how they were physically free from Egypt but still craved their old life. Pastor Chad explains that freedom is received, freedom is learned, and freedom is fought for—and learning to live free means refusing to linger in old relationships, habits, mindsets, lusts, and patterns. “God can get you out of Egypt, but it take a long time to get Egypt out of you.” Drawing from Lot’s wife, Paul’s instruction to flee youthful lusts, and his own experiences, Pastor Chad urges the church to “don’t look back and don’t stir up.” Instead of constantly revisiting the past, believers are called to throw off their old life and embrace the new life Jesus has given them. He challenges listeners to examine what needs to be removed during 21 days of prayer and fasting—old attitudes, thinking patterns, speech, relationships, and anything else pulling them away from God. As he puts it, “Don’t tolerate where you’re going. Celebrate where you’re going.” Ultimately, Pastor Chad calls believers to “feed your future.” Rather than sowing back into the life God rescued us from, we should invest in where God is taking us: “Sow where you wanna go.” Staying free isn't accomplished through human effort alone, but by continually being filled with the Holy Spirit. The same God who delivered you is faithful to sustain you and complete the work He started. Your past may explain where you've been, but it doesn't determine where you're going—there's no turning back.Thank God Im Free | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach declares that freedom is God's will for every believer. Launching the Rent Free series from Isaiah 61, he reminds the church that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and replace shame, despair, and mourning with joy and purpose. While the enemy's strategy is to bind and blind, God's desire is to set people free and restore their vision so they can experience the life He intended. Pastor Chad explains that freedom isn't a one-time event—it's a lifelong journey. We first receive freedom through Jesus, then learn freedom by renewing our minds with God's Word, and finally fight for freedom every day. Like the Israelites who wanted to return to Egypt because it felt familiar, believers can be tempted to return to old habits, mindsets, and addictions. True freedom requires leaving behind what once held us captive and choosing God's way, even when it's uncomfortable. Ultimately, this message reminds us that God didn't save us just to be free—He saved us for a purpose. He rescues us from bondage so we can worship Him, grow in holiness, and live on mission for His Kingdom. God saves us, sanctifies us, and sends us into the world to reflect His goodness. Freedom isn't just about what you've been delivered from—it's about discovering what you've been delivered for.Tauren Wells

In this message, Tauren Wells challenges listeners to pursue a faith that goes beyond appearances and transforms every area of life. He emphasizes that God isn't interested in surface-level religion but in genuine relationship. Real spiritual growth happens when we surrender our hearts to God, trust His voice above our own, and allow Him to shape our character from the inside out. Tauren encourages believers to stop allowing fear, insecurity, and the opinions of others to define their identity. Our worth isn't determined by our accomplishments or failures—it's established by who God says we are. As we choose obedience over comfort and faith over fear, we begin to experience the freedom, purpose, and peace that God has always intended for His children. Ultimately, this message is a call to live boldly and wholeheartedly for Jesus. God has created each of us with purpose, and He invites us to trust Him completely, even when the path ahead is uncertain. When we surrender our lives to Him and walk in faithful obedience, we discover that His plans are greater than our own and His presence is the source of lasting hope and fulfillment.The Work In The Wait | Julia Veach

Pastor Julia challenges believers to release the burdens of comparison, insecurity, and self-reliance, choosing instead to walk in obedience and faith. God isn't looking for perfection—He's looking for willing hearts that trust Him. As we surrender control and allow Him to lead, He shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and equips us to make a lasting impact on those around us. Ultimately, this message is a reminder that God is writing a greater story than we can see. No matter where you are today, His grace is sufficient, His promises remain true, and His plans for your life are still unfolding. When we trust His timing and follow His leading, we discover the freedom, purpose, and joy that are found only in Him.A lot To Lose | Philip Daigle

In this message, Philip Daigle reminds us that God is always at work, even in seasons when His presence feels hidden. Through Scripture and personal application, Pastor Philip encourages believers to trust God's character over their circumstances, recognizing that faith is often built in the waiting. Rather than allowing disappointment or uncertainty to define us, we're invited to remain steadfast, knowing that God is faithful to complete what He has started. Pastor Philip challenges listeners to move beyond comfortable Christianity and embrace a life of wholehearted surrender. Following Jesus isn't just about believing the right things—it's about trusting Him enough to obey, even when the outcome isn't clear. As we release control and place our confidence in God, He begins to shape our character, deepen our faith, and use our lives for His purposes. Ultimately, this message is a call to live with confidence in God's promises rather than our own understanding. No matter what season you're facing, God is present, He's working, and He's inviting you to trust Him more deeply. When we choose faith over fear and surrender over self-reliance, we discover the peace, purpose, and hope that are found only in Him.Road Rage | Chad Narayan

In this message, Chad Narayan teaches that the gospel is, at its core, an invitation. Using the theme "Paperless Post," he unpacks how the final chapter of Scripture ends with one simple word: "Come." God isn't waiting for people to become perfect before approaching Him He's extending an open invitation to anyone who is thirsty, weary, searching, or broken. Through Jesus, every barrier has been removed, and everyone is invited to experience His grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Pastor Chad reminds believers that salvation is only the beginning of the journey. Jesus didn't die simply to get us into heaven one day He came so we could experience life to the fullest today. Too many Christians settle for surviving instead of thriving, allowing fear, shame, comparison, or selfish ambition to keep them from walking in the freedom and purpose God has already made available. Because of Jesus, we have direct access to the Father and an open invitation to live in relationship with Him every day. Ultimately, this message is a call to respond to God's invitation and extend that same invitation to others. The Church exists to echo heaven's message: "Come." Come and receive grace. Come and find hope. Come and discover the abundant life that only Jesus can offer. The invitation has already been sent—all that's left is our response.The Time Is Here | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach unpacks the beautiful invitation found in Revelation 22: "Come." He explains that the Spirit of God and the Church are extending an open invitation to everyone—not just the religious, the qualified, or the people who have it all together. The gospel isn't about earning your way to God; it's about responding to His invitation. Through Jesus, every person has been welcomed to experience forgiveness, purpose, and the abundant life only He can give. Pastor Chad reminds us that our access to God is based on Jesus' finished work, not our performance. Fear, shame, comparison, and feelings of inadequacy often convince us that we don't belong, but Jesus has already opened the door. Because of Him, we have direct access to the Father, a new identity, and a purpose that extends beyond simply living for ourselves. The abundant life isn't found in more success or possessions—it's found in more of Jesus. Ultimately, this message is a call to remember when God first called your name and to invite others into the same life-changing relationship with Him. Pastor Chad encourages believers not just to believe in God, but to live for Him—allowing His love to overflow into every area of life and reaching those who are still searching. The Church's message to the world is simple and timeless: Come.STEWARDSHIP, A SAMARITAN, & SELF RIGHTeOUSNESS | Chad Veach

Condensed Message Summary (2–3 Paragraphs) In this message, Chad Veach emphasizes that Jesus' invitation to humanity is beautifully simple: come. God is not waiting for people to have everything figured out before approaching Him. Instead, He welcomes the broken, the weary, and the searching into a relationship with Him. Pastor Chad explains that many people spend their lives pursuing success, comfort, and approval, only to discover that true fulfillment is found in God's presence and the abundant life Jesus offers. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to move beyond simply attending church or practicing religion and to embrace a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Fear, shame, comparison, and selfish ambition often prevent us from experiencing everything God has prepared for us. Through Christ, however, we have been given access to the Father, a new identity, and a purpose greater than ourselves. The invitation of the gospel is not merely about eternal life someday—it's about experiencing transformation and purpose today. Ultimately, this message is a reminder that God's grace is available to everyone. No matter where you've been or what you've done, Jesus is still calling your name. The door is open, the invitation remains, and the abundant life you've been searching for begins when you simply respond to His call: come.Todays Message

In this message, Jill Veracruz teaches that Jesus' invitation has always been simple: come. God isn't asking us to clean ourselves up before approaching Him—He's inviting us into relationship just as we are. Pastor Chad explains that so many people spend their lives pursuing success, pleasure, and approval, only to discover that nothing satisfies the soul like the presence of God. The gospel is not about religion or performance; it's about responding to God's open invitation and discovering the abundant life Jesus promised. Pastor Chad challenges believers to stop settling for a shallow faith and embrace the access that Jesus purchased for us. Fear, shame, comparison, and self-centered living often keep us from experiencing all that God has for us. But through Christ, we have been given direct access to the Father and a purpose that is far greater than ourselves. Salvation is not simply about getting to heaven one day—it's about experiencing transformation and abundant life right now. Ultimately, this message is a reminder that God's invitation is still available. No matter your past, your failures, or your current season, Jesus is calling you by name and inviting you to come closer. The door is open, grace is available, and the life you've been searching for is found not in what the world offers, but in a relationship with Him.Stop Making Excuses | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach unpacks Jesus' invitation to simply "come." Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Chad explains that God is not looking for perfection before relationship—He's extending an open invitation to every person, regardless of their past, failures, or current circumstances. Too many people spend their lives chasing success, approval, and temporary fulfillment, only to discover that nothing satisfies the soul like a relationship with Jesus. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to move beyond merely believing in God and step into the abundant life Jesus promised. Fear, shame, comparison, and self-centered living often keep us from experiencing everything God has for us. But through Jesus, we have direct access to the Father, a new identity, and a purpose bigger than ourselves. The invitation of the gospel is not just salvation someday—it's transformation today. Ultimately, this message is a reminder that God is calling each of us by name. No matter where you've been or what you've done, the invitation still stands: come. Come find freedom. Come discover purpose. Come experience the life that only Jesus can offer. The door is open, and the next step is yours to take.I Needed To Hear This Today | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach reminds us that God’s work in our lives often begins with a step of faith, not a feeling of certainty. Too many believers remain stuck waiting for clarity, while God is waiting for movement. Faith is not passive—it requires action. When we trust God enough to move forward, even without all the answers, we position ourselves to see Him show up in powerful ways. Pastor Chad challenges the idea that we are “waiting on God,” suggesting that in many cases, God is actually waiting on us. Fear, doubt, and overthinking can keep us from stepping into what God has already called us to do. But growth doesn’t happen in comfort—it happens when we take bold steps of obedience and trust God with the outcome. Ultimately, this message is a call to act now. Breakthrough, clarity, and momentum are found on the other side of obedience. What may feel like a small step today could unlock something significant tomorrow. Stop delaying, stop overthinking, and start moving—because your next step of faith could change everything.Why Your Weakness Doesn't Disqualify You | Julia Veach

In this message, Chad Veach teaches that Jesus is often not what we expect—but better than we imagined. Walking through Luke 9 and 10, the message reveals a Savior who consistently chooses unlikely people, works through insufficiency, and invites ordinary individuals into extraordinary purpose. Jesus doesn’t wait for perfection before using people. Instead, He asks, “What do you have?” and multiplies surrendered lives for His kingdom. Pastor Chad emphasizes that following Jesus is not about comfort, self-promotion, or maintaining control—it’s about surrender. While culture teaches us to protect ourselves and build our own kingdom, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, pick up our cross daily, and trust Him with the unexpected path. The life God has planned may not look like what we imagined, but it is always greater, deeper, and more purposeful than anything we could create on our own. Ultimately, the message reminds us that Jesus values intimacy over productivity. Through the story of Mary and Martha, we see that while serving matters, connection with Jesus matters more. The closer we get to Him, the more we realize He exceeds every expectation. He is more compassionate, more faithful, and more powerful than we thought—and His plans for us are better than we expected.WHO IS THIS | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach teaches that God often does His greatest work in the middle of uncertainty. Faith is not about having every answer before you move—it’s about trusting God enough to take the next step anyway. Too many people stay stuck waiting for clarity, comfort, or certainty, while God is calling them to walk by faith and not by sight. The miracle often happens after the movement. Pastor Chad challenges believers to stop allowing fear, insecurity, and overthinking to keep them stagnant. Delayed obedience can keep us from experiencing the breakthrough God already prepared for us. God is not asking for perfection—He’s asking for trust. Growth happens when we leave what’s familiar and choose faith over comfort. Ultimately, this message is a call to stop hesitating and start moving. Your next step of obedience could unlock purpose, healing, restoration, or breakthrough. Faith isn’t passive—it moves. And when we trust God enough to act, we begin to see Him move in ways we never imagined.Rewritten, Rostored & Realigned | Chad Veach

In this message, Chad Veach reminds us that faith is not meant to stay comfortable, it’s meant to move. Too many people stay stuck waiting for certainty while God is calling them to trust Him with their next step. Real faith requires action, obedience, and the willingness to move forward even when the outcome isn’t fully clear. Breakthrough often begins the moment we stop hesitating and start trusting God. Pastor Chad challenges believers to stop allowing fear, insecurity, and overthinking to delay what God has already spoken. What we call “waiting on God” can sometimes be resistance to obedience. God is not looking for perfection, He’s looking for surrender. Growth happens when we leave comfort behind and trust Him enough to move. Ultimately, this message is a wake-up call to stop delaying your purpose. When you obey God, clarity comes, faith grows, and new doors begin to open. Your next step of obedience could unlock the very breakthrough you’ve been praying for.He Shapes What He Sends | Chad Veach

In this message, Ps Mayo Sowell delivers a powerful reminder that breakthrough often begins with obedience. He emphasizes that many believers are waiting on God to move, while God is actually waiting on them to take a step of faith. Faith is not just belief it’s action. When we trust God enough to obey, even when it’s uncomfortable or unclear, we position ourselves to see Him move in our lives. Pastor Mayo challenges listeners to let go of fear, hesitation, and overthinking, and instead respond with boldness and trust. Delayed obedience can become disobedience, and missed opportunities often come from waiting for perfect conditions instead of trusting God in the moment. Growth happens when we step out, not when we stay safe. Ultimately, the message is a call to live with urgency and confidence in God’s voice. When we act on what God has already said, doors begin to open, clarity increases, and our faith deepens. Obedience isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it—because on the other side of obedience is breakthrough.
