Pastor Ryan McVety’s message, “Don’t Give Up the Fight,” was a powerful reminder that God steps in when we reach our breaking point. Drawing from stories like the prodigal son, Paul and Silas in prison, and the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Pastor Ryan emphasized that when we run out, God runs in. He encouraged us to surrender our struggles to God, trust in His presence, and call on Him in our darkest moments. Even when we can’t see a way through, God is fighting for us and working behind the scenes to bring us victory.
Key Points:
1. When You Run Out, God Runs In
2. He Is In It With You
3. Call On Him
Are you feeling weighed down by the struggles you’re facing? This week, take a moment to surrender the battles you can’t fight alone. Reflect on the areas of your life where you’ve been trying to do it all yourself and give those over to God. Pray specifically for His strength, His guidance, and His intervention. Remember, when you run out, God runs in. Lean into the truth of His promises: He is in it with you, He’s fighting for you, and He’s more than able to bring you through. As you trust Him, let your praise break the chains and declare victory over your life!

Step First | Pastor Ryan McVety | Season X Episode 7
In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan McVety dives deep into the journey of trusting God's timing and stepping out in faith. Using Psalm 37:23-24 and other key scriptures, Pastor Ryan reveals how we often get stuck in seasons of waiting due to fear and doubt, but God calls us to move forward step by step.
3 Key Points from the Sermon:
Trade your “what if” for a “what now” We often focus on “what if” scenarios in our lives, but God is asking us to say “what now” and follow His voice. Like a GPS, God sees the full path, and missing His voice can delay the journey. (Proverbs 3:5-6)It never looks like what it will be Our circumstances may not always reflect the blessing ahead, but faith means trusting the process. You can’t skip steps—faith is built one step at a time. (Psalm 119:105)Go, then I will show you God often reveals the next step after we take the first. Faith means obedience before the outcome. Pastor Ryan encourages us to step forward in faith, trusting that God will reveal the full picture in time. (Psalm 37:23-24)Join us in this transformative message as we learn to step out of fear, trust God's process, and move towards His promises.

Talk Ain’t Cheap | Mark 5:21-34 | The River Worship
In this powerful message, we explore the story of the woman with the issue of blood, a testament to how faith can lead to breakthrough. Her words gave her the courage to step out and receive her miracle.
What are you speaking over your life?
Key Points:
1. Talk the Right Talk – What you say to yourself shapes your belief. Are you speaking faith or doubt? Stop giving the enemy so much credit. Trust that God will do what He promises.
2. Your Talk Determines Your Walk – Faith is like going to the gym—it only works when it’s painful and when you use it. Will you step out for your miracle, or stay stuck in your mess?
3. Touch the Heart of God – It wasn’t the physical touch that healed her; it was her faith. True faith moves God’s heart and puts belief into action.
Join us as we dive deeper into this message of faith, action, and healing!

Pastor Ryan brought a good word for us tonight. In the midst of all the busy-ness of the world around us. In all the things that we are doing for the Lord, for our family, in our work environment there are so many details that can consume our attention and we can get pulled away from the ONE THING in our lives that give us peace, joy and wisdom. Are we listening to what Jesus Christ is saying to us? He speaks to us in a still small voice and if we are too busy to hear we will miss what Jesus has to say. Pastor Ryan reminded us in his sermon to Stay Close to Jesus, by being in His presence by having the heart of Mary who chose to sit at the feet of Jesus and LISTEN to what He had to say. May we all remember to have the heart of Mary and sit in the presence of the Lord.

Guest Speaker Pastor Chris Durso’s message, "Come Before Winter," delivers a powerful reminder that our pain doesn’t define us and that God’s help is always on the way. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4:9-21, Pastor Chris teaches us to let go of past hurts, embrace our assignment, and trust that even in difficult seasons, God's strength is with us. Listen to the full message here!
Scripture Focus:
2 Timothy 4:9-21
Key Points:
1. Winter is coming, but Help is coming first.
2. Your hurt will not define you.
3. Even when you’re hurt, you’re still assigned.
Live It Out:
Where in your life are you allowing past hurt or abandonment to hold you back? Remember, your pain doesn’t define you—God’s purpose does. Reflect on an area where you need to release those who’ve deserted you, just as Paul did. Let go of bitterness and embrace the help God is sending before your 'winter.' Ask yourself: How can you move forward with grace, trusting that God's strength is with you, even when others leave?

In this episode, Pastor Moses explores the often-overlooked details of what it truly means to follow Jesus, drawing from Matthew 26:30-35 and 1 Peter 5:6-11. Let's dive into four powerful choices we can make when following Jesus:
Choose Allegiances Over Energy: When times are uncertain, our faith is tested. It’s easy to follow Jesus when the atmosphere is charged with energy, but true allegiance comes from the heart. Learn why passion is fleeting, and how true discipleship is built on obedience—even when it’s hard.Choose Weakness Over Strength: Embracing our weaknesses is key to experiencing God’s power. In a world that often forbids anything but optimism, we discuss why it's important to bring our anxieties and struggles to God. Weakness is not a barrier but a doorway to deeper healing and connection with Him.Choose Formation Over Formulas: Following Jesus isn’t about getting the words or actions perfectly right; it’s about letting Him form our hearts. Jesus invites us to know Him—not as a puzzle to solve, but as a relationship to grow. Discover why formation is more powerful than any spiritual "formula."Choose the Journey Over the Moment: A life with God is about the long journey, not just one spiritual high. We live to exalt Him in both good and bad seasons, knowing that we walk this life with God by our side. Dive deeper into how humility shapes true worship and what it means to trust God to do what we cannot.Join us for an honest and heartfelt discussion about these important aspects of discipleship, and be encouraged to look beyond the surface in your walk with Jesus.

IT’S ALREADY YOURS | Luke 15:11-32
In this powerful sermon, we dive into the story of the prodigal son, but with a special focus on the often-overlooked other brother. He never left home, yet missed the greatest gift: His Father.
The message reminds us that God is our true inheritance. We already have access to His grace, love, and presence—everything we need is found in Him.
Key Points:
1. It’s Better in His House – There's no place like dwelling in the presence of God. Psalm 84:10 reminds us that even one day in His courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
2. You Can Always Come Home – No matter how far you wander, God is always there. His arms are open, and you can always return to His embrace.
3. He Is the Inheritance – It’s not about the blessings or the material things we receive—God Himself is the ultimate gift. He is our inheritance, and His presence is the true blessing (Luke 15:31, Matthew 6:33).
Are you dwelling in the house of the Lord, or have you forgotten to seek Him? This message challenges us to reflect on where we place our trust and where we spend our time. The Father is always ready to welcome us home because He is already yours.
Join us as we explore the depth of God’s grace and the freedom we find in living in His house.

Pastor Ryan delves into the powerful truths found in John 11:32-44, Romans 14:7-8, Exodus 4:10-12, and Proverbs 16:1.
Key Points:
1. Time Doesn’t Belong to You, It Belongs to Him - Our schedules are not our own; they belong to God.
2. His Schedule, His Fight - Rely on God’s strength, not your own, to fulfill His plans.
3. God’s Never Late, Beware as You Wait - Trust in God’s perfect timing, and don’t label situations prematurely.
Join us as we explore the importance of surrendering our timelines to God. We often think He’s late, but it's really a reminder that His timing is always perfect. As Pastor Ryan shares, "God is a professional at messing up your plans, but He is a Master at fulfilling His!"
Reflect on where you need to wait on God's timing in your life, and remember: if it’s not God’s time, you can’t force it; if it is God’s time, you can’t stop it.

Are you feeling frustrated or stuck in a season of waiting? 🌟 Pastor Ryan's powerful message about being anointed and annoyed is exactly what you need! As believers, we are anointed because God is with us, but as humans, we can also feel annoyed and frustrated, especially when it seems like we’re not in the place or plan that God has for us.
Being anointed means being set apart for a holy purpose, not just possessing a talent. Jeremiah 29:11 declares, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." While we may feel annoyed during these times, Pastor Ryan teaches us that it is crucial to stay obedient and trust in God’s prosperous plan.
Through the life of David, Pastor Ryan shows us the importance of what we do in our season of waiting. It is our job to say YES to the Lord while we wait, trusting that He has a greater purpose for our lives. Remember, with every anointing, there is a season that will be very ANNOYING, but you never know how God will use any season of your life!
Pastor Ryan's message reminds us that we only see a small part of what God is doing in our lives. If you say YES to your Father in your current season, He will say YES to you and reveal His incredible plan and purpose for your life.

Pastor Brendan Witton shared about the real meaning of Only God Can Judge Me. He shared with us that we all will stand before God and give an account of our actions here on earth. God loves us so much and He sent His Son to die for us so we all can have eternal life, as it says in John 3:16. We were reminded that everyone will stand before God, and we need to know for certain that our name is written in the Book of Life. Now is the time to know Jesus Christ and to call on Him, so we will “not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) If you know God and have been serving Him and yet you feel tired and not enough, God sees all that we do and God has a purpose and a plan for each one of us.

First Love | Season 9 Episode 7 - Pastor Ryan McVety
In Revelation 2:2-5, Christ urges us to repent and remember our first love. This week, Pastor Ryan's message reminds us of the profound words in Revelation 2:5: “Repent and do the things you did at first.”
To rekindle our love for Christ, Pastor Ryan outlines three essential steps:
Stay Connected: Maintain a close relationship with Christ.Spread the Word: Share the gospel with everyone.Serve the Church: Dedicate yourself to serving Christ through the Church.Feeling purposeless or powerless? It's time to reconnect with Jesus, the head of the Church. Being part of the Church community is a powerful way to stay connected, as the Church exists for Him and His purpose.
Evangelism transcends personality; it's rooted in the BLOOD of Jesus Christ. If you have His BLOOD, you must share it!
God will use you when you shift your focus from what you can get at church to what you can give. There's no greater blessing than giving to the One who gave you life.
As Pastor Ryan beautifully reminds us, “You are the Church, my friends. You are the Bride, and your Groom LOVES YOU!”
God is madly in love with you!

The Power of a Place, this is the message that Pastor JJ brought to us sharing from Acts 1:4-8 and Acts 2:1-5. He shared with us what Jesus taught the disciples, that we need to understand that there is power in being in a place and there are connections to a place. Potential is connected to a place, Preparation is connected to a place, Provision is connected to a place and Purpose is connected to a place.
Pastor JJ taught us that we, like the disciples have potential, we are being prepared, God has provided for us because he has a purpose for us. God may be moving us to a different place because the place we are in is no longer serving or it's the wrong size or location. Even if the place is good, God is always preparing us for another place for His purpose. Sometimes we find ourselves in the waiting room and we learn that God prepares us while we are waiting. The waiting room is the place where God is preparing us for what He has prepared for us.
We also learned that when we give our lives to the Holy Spirit he fills us but when God is ready to move in a big way, like revival for a nation, the Holy Spirit fills the room and then he fills hearts. God is doing a work in us so we can do His purpose, by being a witness, letting our lives be filled with God's presence.

In this message Pastor Ryan taught us to PRESS ON, reminding us that where we are now is not where we will always be. We were reminded that God has more for you!
Even if it’s a good spot right now God has better! In order to press on we need to:
FOCUS ON NOW GET THE RIGHT MARK remember to not chase titles for ourselves or chase what others have. We need to…STEP TO HIM knowing that Jesus Christ is the only Mark for us to focus on because he is our high calling and HE CHANGES EVERYTHING!God wants us to stop running from the things that don’t satisfy and start running to Him! God is saying my arms are wide open and you need to make me your Mark to focus on and step toward because I am your win, I am your peace, I am your hope!!!!
Good people don’t get into heaven, however FORGIVEN people do. It’s good to remember this especially when it’s hard.
Paul said it this way in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
We are PRESSED, but we PRESS ON!!!!!
We Don’t give UP, WE GIVE IT UP!!!!
It’s time to say “I’m PRESSING ON! God has more for me!” I am stepping toward Him! I am not giving up because He is my mark to focus on! God is my Champion!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Pastor Larry Brey shared a great word about recognizing “orphan” speech in our daily lives. He teaches us through Moses’ story - when God called him to lead the children of Israel out of captivity in Exodus 3 & 4. We learned how Moses said “I can’t do that”, “How will I look” “They won’t accept me”, “I’m not enough” and “I’m going to fail" and how God responded to Moses’ fears. The Lord God made us and He will be with us always even to the purpose He has called us to. John 14:18 - “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” It was a great reminder that our Father does not judge us on our performance but welcomes us wholly into His presence when we feel overwhelmed or disheartened - He validates our relationship as His sons & daughters before He corrects our behaviour.

THE SILENT SAVIOUR is a follow up to last week’s sermon called A Painful Praise.
Sometimes we think that Jesus is silent. That He hasn’t heard our prayer or praise to Him. It could be that we have let the surrounding circumstances become louder than our Saviours voice. We may have waited until things were all falling apart before we reached out to the one who is always with us to ask for help. We see the disciples go through this in Mark 4:35-41 and Matthew 14:23-33. From them we learn four points
Key Points:
NEVER FORGET “WHO” is in our BOAT
DON’T WAIT until we are in free fall to call for help
SILENCE IS NOT THE SAME AS INACTION
A SILENT SAVIOUR is still a Saviour
FIX YOUR FOCUS on Him & the things of this world will grow dim
We need to focus on WHO instead of WHAT, so we can Worship - Him - Only. In the middle of the storm, we give a PAINFUL PRAISE, because WORSHIP fixes our focus off the problem and on to the ONLY ONE WHO CAN SOLVE IT. With my eyes on Him, I can walk on water. He may be silent, but HE IS WORKING. It’s not about WHAT you are going through, It is about WHO is IN YOUR BOAT WITH YOU!!!

Are you experiencing a low valley place in your life? Waiting for an answer from God? Are you feeling like nothing is working or things seem to have been taken from you? Do you feel like you are in a dry place, feeling depressed or anxious?
Pastor Ryan gives us an answer on how to get out of this hard place. It is an act of surrender, it is a Painful Praise! There is power in a painful praise that brings refreshment, peace, joy and love. God is with us through it all even in the pain and in the plush times.
Psalm 23:4 says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." God will guide us through the valley and it can be a place where we understand our purpose long as we praise Him.
Job 1:21 - “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord”.

Do you fear God? Do you know that you can have a reverential fear of God? He loves us, He protects us and He heals and guides us! As children of God, He knows what we need and it’s always for our good.
Pastor Ryan in this message shares how God says “yes” to us, his “no” is a blessing, and there's also a third answer which is a "not yet".
