IF I COULD JUST SAY HELLO || Landon Miller

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:25:00 -0400

Have you ever felt distant from God — not because you stopped believing, but because the connection just felt gone? You tried prayer, worship, Scripture, and nothing felt like it used to. You're not alone. Elijah felt the same way. In this message from 1 Kings 19, a pastor opens up about his own season of spiritual distance and walks through what happened when one of the greatest prophets in the Bible sat under a broom tree, exhausted and ready to quit — right after one of the most spectacular miracles in all of Scripture. What God did next says everything about his heart toward us when we're lost, burned out, and convinced he isn't listening. God didn't lecture Elijah. He fed him. He let him rest. And then he whispered. This message explores why feeling lost isn't the same as being abandoned, why God meets us before he speaks to us, and why his presence is ultimately better than any answer we were looking for.

THE ONLY STORY THAT MATTERS || Dave Ray

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:50:00 -0400

Three stories are being written about you right now — the story others write about you, the story you write about yourself, and the story God is writing.

In Exodus 3–4, Moses had every excuse not to answer God's call. He carried the weight of what others thought of him, his own deep insecurities, and the memory of his worst failures. But God didn't deny any of those stories. He denied their power.

This message is an invitation to lay down every story that isn't God's — and step into the only one that matters.

FROM ATTENDEE TO APPRENTICE || Quentin Peyton

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:15:00 -0400

Jesus didn't invite the disciples to attend. He invited them to become. In this message, guest speaker Quentin Peyton walks through Matthew 4:18–23 and the moment Jesus called his first disciples — not just to follow him, but to be formed by him until the day he would send them out to do the same. The invitation hasn't changed. Following Jesus was never meant to be a spectator sport. It was always meant to produce apprentices who look like their rabbi, sound like their rabbi, and eventually go make disciples of their own. This message explores what it really means to follow Jesus, why showing up is not enough, and how to recognize and respond to that gentle but firm voice that calls you out of the crowd and into a life on mission.

A NEW KIND OF FAMILY || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Thu, 28 May 2026 17:15:00 -0400

We all long for real connection. But we live in a world that offers endless shallow relationships while leaving us feeling utterly alone. Acts 11 shows us what happens when the gospel breaks through every barrier we build — and what it looks like when people who would never naturally belong together become family through Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Justin Kessler walks through Acts 11 and the explosive growth of the church in Antioch — one of the most diverse cities in the Roman world. When Jewish believers first heard that Gentiles were receiving the Holy Spirit without adopting Jewish customs, it felt offensive. But God was doing something none of them fully understood yet. He was building a new kind of family. And the cross doesn't erase ethnicity — it destroys hostility. This message explores what it means to let the Spirit stretch us beyond our comfort zones, why character matters more than gifting, and how Houston — one of the most diverse cities in America — might be our generation's Antioch.

THE GOSPEL IS FOR EVERYONE || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Thu, 21 May 2026 14:00:00 -0400

Peter walked into a Gentile home — something no Jewish man was supposed to do. But God had already prepared the room. Cornelius had gathered his family and friends. The Holy Spirit fell before Peter even finished preaching. And in one afternoon, the gospel broke through a wall that centuries of tradition had built. In Acts 10:23–48, Curtis Rosinski unpacks what happens when Peter finally arrives at Cornelius's house and delivers one of the clearest gospel presentations in the entire book of Acts. The message is simple and world-changing: God shows no favoritism. The gospel is for everyone. And if that's true, it changes how we live, who we pray for, and who we're willing to talk to. This message explores what it looks like to share the good news freely — not because salvation depends on us, but because God is inviting us into something he is already doing.

YOU WERE SAVED TO BE SENT || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Mon, 18 May 2026 17:10:00 -0400

In Acts 10:1–23, we see a pattern God still uses today: he prepares hearts supernaturally, but he chooses ordinary people to deliver the message. The question isn't whether God is at work around us. The question is whether we will show up. This message from WoodsEdge Student Ministry explores what biblical obedience looks like in everyday life, why following Jesus means active participation in his mission, and how your willingness to go can change someone's story forever.

THE DISCIPLE NOBODY REMEMBERS || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:50:00 -0400

In this message, Curtis Rosinski unpacks what Acts 9 teaches about ordinary obedience — why God deliberately chooses obscurity, why faithfulness doesn't require a spotlight, and why your quiet yes might matter more than you'll ever know this side of eternity.

CLOSE BUT FAR || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:27:00 -0400

You can be around the right things and still miss God completely.

In this message, Curtis Rosinski walks through Acts 8:9–40 and asks the question every person in the room needs to sit with: are you following Jesus, or are you following what Jesus can do for you?

In Acts 8, two men encounter the power of God — and walk away very differently. Simon the sorcerer believed, got baptized, and followed Philip everywhere. But when Peter saw his heart, he said plainly: you have no part in this. Philip, on the other hand, walked away from a full-blown revival in Samaria the moment the Spirit said go south — and ended up leading an Ethiopian official to Christ on a desert road. Same chapter. Two completely different postures. One tried to use God. The other surrendered to him.

IS YOUR PAIN GOD'S PLAN? || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:59:00 -0400

In Acts 8:1–8, Pastor Justin Kessler unpacks what happens when ordinary believers are forced out of their comfort zone and into mission. Philip — one of the seven appointed to serve tables — ends up in Samaria, crossing centuries of ethnic hatred to bring the gospel to people Jews refused to acknowledge. And what followed was healing, deliverance, and a city filled with joy.

THE GARDENER KNOWS YOUR NAME || Justin Kessler || Easter 2026

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:10:00 -0400

You've heard the Easter story. But have you seen what's buried inside it? In John 20, Pastor Justin Kessler digs beneath the surface of the resurrection account and uncovers something most of us have never been told. When John sets the scene in a garden, he is not giving a casual detail. He is making a declaration. The Jewish audience reading this story would have felt it immediately — the garden of Eden, the exile, the promise that one day the wilderness would bloom again. What was broken in the first garden is being undone in this one. Humanity fell in a garden. Jesus rises in one. And the gardener — the creator of everything — is calling you by name. If you have ever stood at what felt like an empty tomb, confused and weeping while everyone else went home, this message is for you. You are in the exact place Jesus loves to meet people. The exile is over. The garden is open.

YOUR FAITHFULNESS IS NOT INVISIBLE || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 14:22:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like no one sees what your faithfulness is costing you? In Acts 6:8–7:60, Stephen — a man appointed simply to distribute food to widows — stands before the most powerful religious council in Jerusalem and gives one of the boldest defenses of the gospel in the entire New Testament. Pastor Justin Kessler unpacks the life and death of the first Christian martyr and what it means for anyone quietly enduring something hard right now. Your faithfulness is not invisible. Heaven sees it.

THE BOLDNESS OF THE EARLY CHURCH || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 14:55:00 -0400

In this message from Acts 5, we look at the moment when the apostles were arrested for preaching about Jesus—and yet refused to stop sharing the gospel. Even after being beaten and warned by the religious leaders, they continued proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah and that salvation is found in Him alone. This message challenges us with an important question: what will we do with the evidence about Jesus? Like the early believers, we are invited to respond with faith, boldness, and a willingness to share the good news with others—no matter the cost.

THE SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE OF SERVICE || Justin Kessler

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:00:00 -0400

In this message, Justin explores the spiritual discipline of service and what it means to follow Jesus as a servant. Looking at the life and teaching of Christ, we are reminded that service is not an optional activity in the Christian life—it is at the very heart of discipleship. When we practice serving others, God uses those moments not only to meet real needs but also to shape our hearts to look more like Jesus.

FIVE TRUTHS I WISH I KNEW AT 15 || Justin Kessler

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:05:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Justin Kessler shares five truths he wishes someone had told him at 15—truths shaped by seasons of addiction, brokenness, and ultimately God’s redeeming grace. Through personal testimony and biblical encouragement, we are reminded that God truly redeems all things, that prayer is never wasted, and that even our hardest seasons are not beyond His reach. From overcoming comparison and embracing vulnerability to building deep friendships and choosing to please God above all else, this message calls students to build their lives on faithfulness instead of impressiveness. Real peace and joy aren’t found in status, relationships, or achievement—but in walking closely with Jesus in every season. In the end, what matters most is not who was impressed by us, but whether we trusted God and remained faithful.

ARE YOU SPIRITUALLY LUKEWARM? || Toby Smith

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:00:00 -0400

In this message from Revelation 3:16–20, Toby Smith challenges us to reconsider what it really means to be “lukewarm.” Rather than addressing a lack of passion or emotion, Jesus was confronting a deeper issue—self-reliance that slowly disconnects us from the source of true spiritual life.

Through the historical context of Laodicea and the gracious invitation of Christ, we are reminded that lukewarm faith is not weak faith, but independent faith. This message speaks directly to weary, struggling believers who may feel disqualified or distant from God. Jesus is not pushing us away in correction—He is knocking, inviting us back into relationship. As we stay near the source, He is faithful to refresh what has grown cold, strengthen what feels weak, and reignite hearts that are ready to respond.

WHY REVIVAL BEGINS WITH OBEDIENCE || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 11:53:00 -0400

In this message from Acts 5:12–16, we take a closer look at the early church and ask a simple but searching question: what made them different? In the face of opposition and pressure, the believers were marked by unity, bold prayer, and a deep reverence for God. Rather than asking for comfort or safety, they asked for boldness—and the Spirit moved powerfully among them. This passage challenges us to move beyond casual faith and rediscover a holy expectancy for what God can do when His people gather in surrender. Revival does not begin with noise or hype, but with curiosity that leads to obedience. As we reflect on the example of the early church, we are invited to live with courage, unity, and a renewed hunger for the presence of God.

EVANGELISM IS FOR EVERYONE || Curtis Rosinski

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 16:23:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Curtis Rosinski reminds us that evangelism is not reserved for a few gifted speakers, it is the joyful responsibility of every follower of Jesus. Through Scripture and real stories, we are confronted with the reality that millions of people have never heard the good news, not only across the world, but in our neighborhoods, schools, and families. Evangelism, at its core, is love that speaks.

THE COST OF SPIRITUAL PERFORMANCE || Austin Lee || The Book of Acts

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:37:00 -0400

In this message, Austin Lee walks through Acts 5:1–11 and confronts the danger of living a filtered faith before a holy God. Through the story of Ananias and Sapphira, we are reminded that God is not interested in spiritual performance or appearances—He desires honesty, integrity, and hearts that are fully surrendered to Him. God doesn’t judge highlight reels; He judges hearts. This passage challenges us to stop pretending, stop performing, and bring our real selves before God. While hypocrisy destroys community, reverence for God protects it. Ultimately, this message points us to the gospel—where Jesus took the judgment our hypocrisy deserved—inviting us to live with repentance, humility, and authentic faith before the God who already sees everything.

HOW THE GOSPEL CREATES TRUE UNITY || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 15:28:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Justin Kessler teaches from Acts 4:32–37, giving us a deeper look at the unity and generosity of the early church. In the midst of cultural tension, persecution, and uncertainty, the believers were described as being one in heart and mind—sharing their lives, their resources, and their burdens so that no one walked through darkness alone.

PRAYING FOR BOLDNESS || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 10:41:00 -0400

In this message, Justin Kessler teaches from Acts 4:23–31, showing how the early church responded to opposition, pressure, and uncertainty, not with fear, but with prayer. Instead of asking God for safety or escape, they lifted their eyes to the Sovereign Lord, trusting that He rules over all things and works even suffering for His redemptive purposes.

DISCOMFORT CREATES GROWTH || John Carswell

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:12:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor John Carswell challenges students to see following Jesus as a life of purpose, perseverance, and mission. Teaching from Matthew 28 and James 1, he reminds us that the call to make disciples is not always easy, but it is always worth it. God uses trials, obedience, and faithfulness to shape us into people who carry the Gospel wherever He sends us.

THE DISCIPLINE OF GENEROSITY || Justin Kessler

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:00:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Justin Kessler teaches on the spiritual discipline of generosity, reminding students that God is not reluctant to bless—He is generous, faithful, and eager to pour out His goodness. Through Scripture, stories, and practical steps of faith, Justin shows how trusting God opens the door to experiencing His provision, His leading, and His transforming work.

This message invites students to give God a chance to be generous, to trust His heart, and to step into a life shaped by faith and open-handed obedience.

HOW TO BE BOLD FOR JESUS || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:50:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Curtis Rosinski teaches from Acts 4 about what it means to live with boldness through the power of the Holy Spirit. Looking at Peter and John’s courage before the religious leaders, he reminds students that boldness isn’t about personality—it’s about being filled with the Spirit of God.

Through this passage, Pastor Curtis challenges us to stand firm in truth, love people with the heart of Christ, and let our changed lives become living testimonies of God’s grace wherever we go.

THE GOD WHO SEES & RESTORES || Austin Lee || The Book of Acts

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:01:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Austin Lee teaches from Acts 3 about the healing of the lame beggar and the power of Jesus to restore what’s broken. Through this story, we see that Jesus doesn’t just fix what’s on the surface—He restores people to purpose, calling us to walk, leap, and live for His glory.

This message reminds us that God sees the overlooked, works through ordinary people, and brings lasting restoration that points others to His name.

BE THE CHURCH || Justin Kessler || The Book of Acts

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 09:51:00 -0400

HOW TO KEEP THE FIRE BURNING || Curtis Rosinski

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 14:20:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Curtis challenges students to consider what happens after a " spiritual high" or a breakthrough moment with God. Teaching from Acts 2, Romans 13, and James 1, he reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about chasing mountaintop moments but learning to walk with Jesus daily in obedience and perseverance.

Through honest stories and biblical truth, this message encourages us to follow Jesus over feelings, choose obedience even when it’s not glamorous, and keep running the race with endurance—trusting that God is shaping us every step of the way.

BOLD FAITH BEGINS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT || Austin Lee || The Book of Acts

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:39:00 -0400

Through this first Spirit-filled sermon, we see how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into courageous witnesses for Christ.

This message reminds us that the same Spirit who moved at Pentecost still empowers believers today—turning fear into faith, guilt into grace, and calling us to boldly proclaim the name of Jesus to the world.

DO YOU WANT THE FIRE OF GOD || Curtis Rosinski || The Book of Acts

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 14:43:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Curtis Rosinski explores Acts 2:1–13 and what it truly means to experience the fire of God. From the story of Pentecost to historic moves of God like the Welsh Revival, we see that prayer always precedes revival. The Holy Spirit still moves today—often in ways that surprise us. When we come with humble, expectant hearts, God ignites faith, unity, and transformation.

WHY REST MATTERS || Justin Kessler

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 12:09:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Justin invites us to slow down, step away from hustle culture, and rediscover the gift of Sabbath rest. Drawing from history, Scripture, and our modern struggles with hurry and distraction, he reminds us that Sabbath is more than just a day off—it is a sacred rhythm of trust, worship, and renewal.

WHY WAITING ISN'T WASTED || Austin Lee || The Book of Acts

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 17:42:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Austin Lee teaches from Acts 1:12–26 and reminds us that waiting on the Lord is never wasted time. Just as the disciples waited between Jesus’ ascension and the coming of the Spirit, we too are called to seasons of waiting. Austin unpacks how true waiting looks like dependence on God through prayer, recognizing His sovereignty even in uncertainty, leaning into community, and obeying what we already know to do.

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 14:24:00 -0400

The same Spirit that empowered the early church empowers us now—to live on mission, to love our neighbors, and to carry the unstoppable gospel to the ends of the earth.

Drawing from Acts, Genesis, and the life of Jesus, he shows how true spiritual growth doesn’t happen in isolation but in circles of family, friendship, and shared life.

RECIPE FOR REVIVAL || Justin Kessler || The Vision

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 16:24:00 -0400

In this message from 2 Chronicles 20, Pastor Justin walks us through a powerful “Recipe for Revival.”

What do you do when you face battles too big to fight on your own? When the odds are stacked against you, and fear is knocking at your door?

Through the story of King Jehoshaphat, we discover that revival isn’t random—it follows a pattern: desperation for God, wholehearted repentance, radical obedience, wild faith, and a powerful move of God. This isn’t just ancient history—it’s the same path God uses to bring breakthrough in our lives today.

If you long to see God move in your life, your church, and your city, this message will challenge and inspire you to take your next step toward revival.

HOW TO LIVE ON MISSION || Shafer Hunt || The Mission

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 14:14:00 -0400

In this message to our student ministry, we dig into what it really means to live on mission. It’s not just about serving on a trip or doing something “big” for God—it’s about faithfully pointing people to Jesus in your everyday life.

Through stories, Scripture, and four practical questions, we explore how to live a life that reflects Christ, sees people the way He does, and embraces our role in His greater story. You don’t have to be perfect, have all the answers, or go across the world to make a difference. You just have to be obedient.

Because living on mission starts right where you are.

THE HOLY SPIRIT'S ROLE IN MISSIONS || Lee Curry || The Mission

HOW TO FIND JOY IN EVERY SEASON || Justin Kessler || Philippians

Thu, 29 May 2025 13:43:00 -0400

In this episode, we explore Paul’s closing words to the Philippians—a letter written from prison, yet overflowing with peace, contentment, and joy. How is that possible? Because Paul’s focus wasn’t on his circumstances—it was on Christ.

We’ll talk about how to handle anxiety, conflict, and financial stress with a mindset rooted in prayer, gratitude, and trust in God’s provision. You’ll hear practical ways to refocus your heart, stay anchored in peace, and discover why joy isn’t tied to what’s happening around you—but who you’re walking with through it.

THE END GOAL OF LIFE || Curtis Rosinski || Philippians

Thu, 15 May 2025 12:05:00 -0400

What are you really chasing in life? In this powerful message from Philippians 3:1–14, we’re reminded that our deepest purpose isn’t found in achievements, performance, or checking spiritual boxes—but in knowing Christ personally. Paul lays aside his most impressive credentials to embrace something far greater: the privilege of being known and loved by Jesus. Whether you’ve felt pressure to perform, struggled with shame, or tied your value to what you do instead of who you belong to—this message is for you. Discover how your identity in Christ frees you from striving and invites you into a life of purpose, grace, and joy. Watch now and be reminded: you weren’t created for perfection—you were created for a relationship with Him.

THE POWER OF REFLECTION || Justin Kessler

Thu, 08 May 2025 15:10:00 -0400

In the rush of life—even in ministry—it’s easy to get caught up in doing things for Jesus and forget to simply be with Him. In this message, Pastor Justin reflects on the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10, where Jesus reminds us that sitting at His feet is the better choice. As we look back on the year, we use the Examen—a powerful spiritual tool—to process our experiences through prayer, gratitude, and repentance. This message is a gentle but necessary reminder: before we serve, lead, or plan, we must first rest in His presence. Watch now and let Jesus recenter your heart for the season ahead.

HOW TO LIVE A LIFE THAT REFLECTS JESUS || Curtis Rosinski

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 16:25:00 -0400

Obedience isn't just about following rules—it's about actively living out your faith with intention and humility. In Philippians 2:12-18, Paul challenges believers to "work out" their salvation, emphasizing that God Himself empowers us both to desire and accomplish His purposes. Our attitudes matter greatly—living without complaining or arguing helps us shine brightly in a world that desperately needs authentic examples of Christ's love. Discover how staying anchored in God’s Word and relying on His strength can transform your life and make you a light in dark places. Watch this message to find encouragement and practical steps for living your faith boldly and joyfully.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FAST & PRAY? || Justin Kessler

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:29:00 -0400

When life feels overwhelming, God invites us into deeper spiritual practices—like fasting—to experience His power and presence. In this message, we explore how fasting isn't just about going without food; it's about growing in holiness and amplifying our prayers. Drawing insights from Scripture and powerful moments in history, we see how fasting aligns our hearts with God, transforms our desires, and allows us to experience breakthroughs we never thought possible. Whether you’re facing struggles, seeking direction, or longing for a miracle, fasting can open the door to God’s intervention. Watch now and discover how embracing this spiritual discipline can bring fresh clarity and strength to your faith.

HUMILITY LIKE JESUS || Justin Kessler

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:15:00 -0400

What does it truly mean to have the mindset of Christ? In Philippians 2:1-11, Paul calls us to a life of humility, unity, and selflessness, just as Jesus modeled for us. This message unpacks how Christ, though fully God, chose to lower Himself, serving others and ultimately giving His life for us. His humility wasn’t weakness—it was power under control, a love so deep it changed everything. If we want to reflect Jesus in our daily lives, we must embrace this same mindset. Watch now to discover how following Christ’s example can transform your relationships, your faith, and your purpose.

DREAM WITH GOD AGAIN || Curtis Rosinski

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 11:56:00 -0400
