When life gets hard, it’s easy to drift. The book of Hebrews opens with a powerful truth: God once spoke through prophets, but now He has spoken through His Son. Jesus isn’t just another messenger. He is the message.
In the series Decoded, Pastor Tyler unpacks why Jesus really is enough and how the truth of Hebrews 1–2 can anchor your soul when everything else feels unstable.
We’ll see how:
Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory (Hebrews 1:3)
His sacrifice finished the work once and for all
Faith means trusting that Jesus is better even when life isn’t
Scriptures: Hebrews 1:1–5, Hebrews 2:1–4, Hebrews 10:32–36

Why do we keep fighting about the same things? Every couple faces conflict, but James 4:1–3 shows the real issue isn’t your spouse or your stress. “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?”
In this message, Pastor Tyler unpacks James 4 and Galatians 6 to show how to stop fighting in your relationships by shifting the fight from each other to what’s happening inside us. We want love, respect, and peace — but when we don’t get it, we try to control instead of pray. James says, “You do not have because you do not ask God.”
Healthy relationships aren’t about keeping score; they’re about sharing burdens, not behaviors. Galatians 6:2 challenges us to “share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”
If your relationships feel stuck in tension or silence, this message will help you reset your approach and rediscover peace — not by fixing the other person, but by letting God transform your heart.

When your mind won’t stop racing and life feels like it’s moving faster than your soul can keep up, peace can seem out of reach. You’ve tried praying harder, taking a break, or booking that next vacation—but nothing seems to quiet the chaos inside.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt unpacks what James 3 and Philippians 4 teach us about how to find peace of mind. Real peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances—it’s made in the middle of ordinary moments when we invite God into our thoughts and actions.
When we challenge thoughts of fear, jealousy, and comparison, we make space for God’s wisdom to shape us from the inside out. And when we act on those thoughts by forgiving, slowing down, serving, and showing mercy, we become true peacemakers.
If you’ve been craving calm in your spirit, this message will help you experience peace that doesn’t depend on what’s happening around you.

Your words are powerful. James 3 compares the tongue to a rudder that steers a ship and a spark that can set a forest on fire. The truth is, your speech can either build up or tear down, and it all reveals what’s going on inside your heart.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt explores what the Bible says about the power of words, why controlling your tongue matters, and how God can transform your life from the inside out.

From Deuteronomy 6 to Proverbs 22, we explore how to shape our kids' worldview, walk out faith authentically, and raise children who don’t just know about God, but know Him personally.

When life falls apart, it can feel like God is against you. But James reminds us that testing and temptation aren’t the same thing—and God is not the source of your sabotage. He’s the source of every good and perfect gift.
In this message, we unpack the difference between the pressures that hit you from the outside and the desires that rise up inside of you, showing how endurance leads to blessing. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels so heavy—or questioned God’s role in it—you’ll find hope and clarity here.

Money pressures us all. Some days you feel broke, some days you feel secure. But is life really better when you’re rich than when you’re poor? James 1:9-11 challenges the normal train of thought. The poor should boast because God honors them, and the rich should boast because God humbles them.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt unpacks what James means and shows how both poverty and wealth can test our trust in God. You’ll hear stories of God’s provision, explore the difference between shame and humility, and discover why true peace isn’t found in money but in Jesus.
When you feel poor—don’t worry.
When you feel rich—don’t worship.
Always trust God, and use what you have to do good.

When life gets messy, it’s natural to want quick relief and fix it yourself. Stress at work, conflict at home, pressure in your finances. Just fix it! In those moments, the Bible gives us better instruction: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.” (James 1:5 NLT)
In this message, Pastor Tyler continues our series in James with a message called The Weakness of Wavering: Why Stability Matters for Your Faith. When you ask God for wisdom, He promises to give it generously, but James also warns that divided loyalty makes us unstable, like waves tossed by the wind.
In this message, we cover:
Why wisdom matters more than talent or luck
How wavering weakens your walk, prayers, and witness
What it looks like to trust God fully without a backup plan
Don’t let doubt and divided loyalty keep you from what God wants to give you.
Key Scriptures: James 1:5–6, Matthew 14:29–31, 1 Kings 18:21
If you’re wrestling with decisions, feeling pressure, or struggling to find clarity, this message will help you take the first step: ask God for wisdom.

Pressure is something we all face. Whether it’s financial stress, relationship struggles, health battles, or the daily weight of responsibility. James, the brother of Jesus, writes something surprising about pressure: instead of seeing it as punishment, he calls it an opportunity for joy (James 1:2-4).
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt unpacks how pressure has a purpose in your life. It produces endurance, reveals what’s really inside your heart, and grows you toward maturity. Pressure isn’t meant to crush you, it’s meant to shape you.
The very thing that’s stressing you out could be the same thing God is using to develop strength, character, and unshakable faith.
Join us as we explore James 1 and learn how to see the purpose in your pressure.

Faith was never meant to be boring and predictable. Jesus didn’t “kind of” sacrifice, He went all in. And when your faith is fully alive, you have passion, personality, power, and boldness.
Bold doesn’t mean reckless or showy; it means fully engaged, confident that God can use the unique personality He gave you.
The instruction to people who follow Jesus is this: “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord” (Romans 12:11 ESV). That word “fervent” literally means “boiling over.” Real faith overflows with joy. It’s alive and full of energy.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt explores how bold faith can transform a group of people from a quiet, checked-out lifestyle, into a life of fullness knowing everyone brings something to the table. Instead of a restaurant where a few serve the many, you start treating life like a cookout where everyone belongs, contributes, and celebrates together.
Don’t settle for a safe or boring life. Step into the bold, passionate life God designed for you.

Serving others might not seem like a big deal, until you realize it changes people’s lives.
Most people never “feel” ready. In the book of Judges, Gideon wasn’t confident and he wasn’t looking to be used by God. He was just trying to survive, and God called him anyway.
Why? Because availability is more powerful than ability.
Jesus shows up as the most important person in the room… and He grabs a towel.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not ready” or “this is beneath me,” this message is for you. It’s not about waiting for more time, more talent, or more confidence, It’s about saying yes.

You can have strong faith, know your calling, and still get tired. That’s called being human.
When Moses stood on a hill in Exodus 17, as long as his arms were raised, his community was winning. But when they dropped, they started losing. When two real friends showed up for the fight, holding his arms. God finished what He started, through them.
That’s the strength of community. People close enough to see your frustration, and committed enough to have your back.
In this message, Pastor Brandon Rachal unpacks three life-changing truths that are only evident in in real, connected relationships:
Strength – Why community is God’s answer to fatigue (Exodus 17)
Accountability – How accountability keeps your purpose sharp (Nehemiah 4)
Healing – The healing that flows through connection (James 5:16)
If you’ve been fighting alone, it’s time to find your people.

Life doesn’t work right when Jesus isn’t first. You can build success, fill your schedule, even do “good things”—but without Jesus at the center, it all feels empty.
In this message, we look at Colossians 1:15–18 and see why Jesus isn’t just another option—He’s the point of everything. He’s the one who created it all, holds it all together, and leads us into real life.
This isn’t about adding Jesus to your list of priorities. It’s about letting Him be the priority. Because when Jesus is first, relationships start to make sense, purpose becomes clear, and faith feels “real”.

You’ve heard it before: “Church is boring.” But is that true? Nah.
Church isn’t about routines, rules, or just showing up on Sundays. The church was never meant to be a quiet room of spectators—it was built to be a movement. A force. A house full of people fueled by the Holy Spirit and bold enough to believe that God still speaks, still moves, and still sets things on fire.
This message is for the ones who are fed up. Fed up with going through the motions. Fed up with empty religion. Fed up with watching darkness win. You were never meant to tolerate it—you were meant to light it up.
Jesus didn’t build a monument. He launched a movement. And He handed you the keys. This is about the real purpose of church: power, passion, boldness, and bringing heaven into the streets. The same Spirit that filled the early church still fills people today. And if you've got even a spark of faith, that’s all God needs to start a wildfire.
It’s not just for the young. It’s not just for the polished. It’s for anyone willing to carry the fire. So if you’re wondering if there’s still more in you, more for you, or more to this thing called church—the answer is yes.
You’re not too late. You’re not too burned out. And you’re definitely not too boring.
You’re flammable—and fireproof.

Most people think financial breakthrough means finally getting a raise or getting out of debt—but what if the real shift starts in your spirit, not your bank account?In this message, Tyler Padgitt unpacks what the Bible really says about money, obedience, and the kind of supernatural provision that breaks cycles of stress, lack, and paycheck-to-paycheck survival. This isn’t about hype or guilt—it’s about alignment.God doesn’t promise random blessings—He promises to empower people to prosper for a purpose. Whether you’re struggling to make ends meet or believing for more, there’s a deeper truth here: breakthrough isn’t about striving... it’s about alignment.Scriptures | Deuteronomy 8:18, Proverbs 22:7, Malachi 3:10–11, 2 Corinthians 9:6–10, 2 Kings 4:1–7, 1 Kings 17:13–16To connect with or discover more about Courageous check out http://www.tccnow.info
It’s a question a lot of us carry deep down—especially when life feels stuck, heavy, or spiritually dry. But the truth of Scripture is clear: because of Jesus, you are not cursed. You are blessed. And the proof is in the promise—the Holy Spirit.
In this message, discover how the Holy Spirit is the Blessing Spirit. He’s not just a force or a feeling—He’s the empowering presence of God that breaks chains, fills you with boldness, and activates your purpose.
You’re not forgotten. You’re not limited. You are blessed—and it’s time to start walking like it.

Christianity is often misunderstood as just a set of beliefs or moral guidelines. But at its core, it’s about a life empowered by the Holy Spirit—a living presence that brings courage, transformation, and power beyond what can always understand.

This message will challenge how you think about prayer—and reveal just how much more God wants to give. From Israel’s return in Hosea to Solomon’s unselfish request, and even the thief on the cross, we see a pattern: God doesn’t just answer prayers—He overanswers them.
If you've ever prayed a small prayer just hoping to get by, this sermon will stretch your faith and open your eyes to the God who gives in abundance—pressed down, shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38).
