6/29/25 WEEK 3: GOD CHOSE YOU// WHY ME?  // PASTOR CHARLES METCALF
Once you realize God Chose You, it’s natural to wonder, “Why me?” In Week 3 of the God Chose You series, Pastor Charles Metcalf helps us lean into that question and discover that God’s choice is always intentional. While we may never fully grasp why God chose us, we can trust that it’s about more than just us, it’s about legacy. There are people in your family line, your future, and your purpose who are depending on your “yes.” We pray this message gives you the courage to keep showing up, keep saying yes, and keep walking in the calling God has placed on your life.

6.22.25 WEEK 2: GOD CHOSE YOU// I WILL NOT FOLD // PASTOR CHARLES METCALF
Could it be that you know God chose you, but you still want others to choose you too? In Week 2 of the God Chose You series, Pastor Charles Metcalf takes us to Paul’s letter in Galatians, where he boldly says, “If I were trying to please people, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.” Are you still searching for affirmation from others? This message uncovers the trap of people-pleasing and shows us how to break free through the right people, the right perspective, and the right purpose. We pray this word releases you from the pressure to be chosen by people—and helps you walk boldly in who God has already called you to be.

WEEK 6: MUSTARD: The Seed That Can Change Everything // BIG STEPPA
The time for you to lead is NOW. After Moses’ death, Joshua didn’t just inherit a position—he received a promise. “Wherever you set your foot, I’ve already given it to you.” But to walk in it, Joshua had to rise up and step out. He had to become a BIG STEPPA. In Week 6 of the Mustard Series, Pastor Michael Todd shows us what it looks like to walk with bold faith while letting God lead every step. This message will teach you how to See Big, Talk Big, Execute Big, and Pace for Big.

WEEK 4: MUSTARD: The Seed That Can Change Everything // The Tragedy of Trying - What to Do When Your Faith is Fatigued
Have you ever stopped using your faith because it didn’t work the last time you tried? Maybe you felt embarrassed, disappointed, or exposed—and instead of trying again, you shut faith down altogether. In Week 4 of our series MUSTARD: The Seed That Can Change Everything, Pastor Mike Todd takes us to Matthew 17, where the disciples failed to cast out a demon, and Jesus used the moment to grow their faith. This message uncovers how we often avoid embarrassment, correction, exposed insufficiencies, the requirements for growth, and disappointment when walking out in faith again. But the truth is, these are the exact places God wants to develop our faith. If your faith has been sitting on the sidelines, it's time to get back in the game. This message will challenge you to put your faith to work again.

In this message, you’ll learn the 3 things to do when you’re struggling with your faith: Admit your doubts, Ask for help, and Act anyway. We pray this message helps you uncover your challenges and get a renewed faith in God.

But audacious faith places a demand on what God has already deposited.You don’t need permission to walk in authority — Jesus already transferred it to you.

In the last week of our sermon series, WICKED: The Worship of Wealth, Pastor Charles had us take a hard look at our history and relationship with finances.

Throughout the Bible, God works through the principle of multiplication—and one of the clearest pictures of that is when Jesus took five loaves and two fish, blessed them, broke them, and fed thousands.  In Week 4 of WICKED: The Worship of Wealth, Pastor Michael Todd breaks down what we can learn from this miracle and how it applies to our finances today.
This message isn’t just about giving—it’s about graduating from the fundamentals into the fun of generosity. Because in the Kingdom, multiplication only happens when we release what’s in our hands.
If you’re ready to go from just surviving to living a multiplied life—this message is for you!

God has given us the blueprint for living a life of faith, but sometimes we get caught up playing the wrong game. In Week 3 of WICKED: The Worship of Wealth, Pastor Michael Todd challenged us to stop hating the player and start changing the game by focusing on God’s Starting 5—Prayer, Bible Reading, Gathering, Fasting, and Giving. These practices keep us aligned with God’s purpose and equipped for spiritual battles.
Pastor Michael reminded us that the game of life isn’t just warm-ups—it’s warfare. We can’t overcome without opposition, and each of these five spiritual practices faces resistance: independence, ignorance, isolation, idolatry, and immaturity. By fixing our eyes on Jesus and committing to God’s game plan, we can experience the joy and freedom that come from living a faith-filled life.

God wants to give us His heart on finances, wealth, and generosity. Every time we experience financial increase, we’re taking an open-book test and God has already given us the answers. In Week 2 of WICKED: The Worship of Wealth, Pastor Michael Todd broke down tithing as a biblical principle and practice established by God of returning the first 10% of our increase back to God through the local church. He debunked myths and misteachings around giving and reminded us that tithing isn’t about pressure, it’s about honoring God. This message speaks to the real feelings many believers have about tithing and reveals the fun and freedom that come with trusting God in this area.

Most of us have been distracted by money instead of being directed by God. Whether you’re worried about how much you have or how much you don’t, this message is going to help you shift your focus and see money the way God does. In Week 1 of the WICKED: The Worship of Wealth Sermon Series, Pastor Michael Todd broke down how money is simply a tool and it will reveal your heart and remind you who you really are. As we studied the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 6, we learned how worshipping wealth and wasting wealth are both wicked. We pray this message helps you recognize your relationship with money and seek to handle your finances with God’s wisdom.

Your distraction isn’t after your life—it’s after your vision. In Week 8 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Michael Todd challenged us with a question: Is your distraction playing you? Some of us have become so comfortable with our distractions that we don’t even realize they’re draining our strength. Like Samson, we’ve nurtured what was meant to conquer us, and by the time we wake up, it’s already taken more than we ever intended to give. It’s time to wake up and break free. We pray this message helps you identify the exits of distraction and realign your focus on what God has for you in this season!

Distraction doesn’t always come in the form of something obvious—it can be hidden in the details. In Week 7 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Michael Todd showed us how focusing too much on the details can pull us away from trusting God’s process.Using the journey of the Israelites in Exodus 13-16, we saw how God led them the long way on purpose, not as punishment, but for development. Sometimes, what feels like a detour is actually part of God’s divine design.

But when we fixate on the details of drought, desire, or delay, we can easily become distracted from His direction.  How many details do you need before you obey?We pray this message helps you shift from distraction to devotion and trust that when God leads, He provides.

What’s Fueling Your Focus? In Week 6 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Charles Metcalf challenged us to examine what’s driving our focus—is it fear or faith? If we’re not careful, we can do the right thing with the wrong motive, and a focus fueled by fear will always shrink our future. But when our focus is fueled by faith, it grows in the direction of God’s purpose for us. In this message you will find out how to flip your focus by 3 simple steps so that your faith can grow.

We often think distractions come from people, places, or things—but sometimes, the biggest distraction is what’s happening inside of us.

In Week 5 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Michael exposed the distraction of comparison through the story of Saul and David. When insecurity takes over, even our allies can start looking like enemies.

We pray this message helps you break free from insecurity, comparison, and fear—so you can walk boldly in the confidence of who God has called you to be!

Are you dating with discernment or just delulu?

In Week 4 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Michael broke down how Delilah repeatedly tried to distract Samson—while he stayed stuck in delusion. The real question is: Are we making room for our distractions? Have we gotten so deep in a relationship with them that we can’t even see what they’re stealing from us? 

We pray this message helps you recognize the traps of compromise and refocus on Godly commitments over temporary distractions.
