Pastor Daniel Goulding · Nov 24, 2025
In a cultural moment of constant change and uncertainty, Pastor Daniel calls every follower of Jesus to deliberately build their life on the Bible as their unshakeable foundation. Drawing from Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7, he argues that any other foundation — financial success, personal happiness, or cultural approval — will eventually crack. The sermon offers five practical commitments for engaging Scripture: reading it regularly, systematically, inquisitively, prayerfully, and applying it daily so that God's Word moves from a discipline to a desire and produces genuine spiritual transformation.
Pastor Steve Weatherford · Sep 29, 2025
Pastor Steve Weatherford argues that many people — men especially — spend their lives building impressive exteriors (careers, physiques, accolades) over a hidden foundation of shame, trauma, and unresolved pain. Drawing from his own story of childhood sexual abuse, pornography addiction, NFL success, and near-suicidal brokenness, he contends that religion and self-discipline cannot defeat what only the Holy Spirit can heal. True transformation begins when a person stops conforming to the world's identity scripts, honestly excavates what is buried in the basement of their life, and surrenders fully to Jesus — receiving not merely forgiveness, but the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
