    Pentecost Sunday 2026: The Harvest of Pentecost

    Celebrate Pentecost Sunday 2026 with Pastor Casey Olsen’s message, The Harvest of Pentecost, as we explore Acts 1 and Acts 2 and discover the powerful meaning behind the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, we look at how Pentecost was not a random moment in Scripture, but the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan as the Holy Spirit empowered the early church for mission, witness, and gospel harvest among the nations. Pastor Casey unpacks the biblical connection between the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, the harvest festivals of the Old Testament, and the birth of the church in Acts 2. This message highlights how the Holy Spirit continues to empower ordinary believers today to live on mission, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and participate in the ongoing work of God around the world. Through powerful teaching on Spirit-empowered living, dependence on the Holy Spirit, revival, prayer, church mission, and the global movement of the gospel, this sermon challenges Christians to move beyond self-reliance and rediscover the life-changing power and presence of God. From the early church in Jerusalem to modern-day missions in places like Cuba, Iceland, Ecuador, India, and beyond, The Harvest of Pentecost reminds us that the story of Acts is still unfolding today. If you are hungry for deeper intimacy with God, biblical teaching on the Holy Spirit, Pentecost Sunday, revival, discipleship, church planting, missions, charismatic Christianity, and Spirit-filled living, this message will encourage and equip you to become a living messenger of hope right where God has placed you.

    How to Ruin Your Faith: Make It About You Again (Chris Zauner)

    In the sixth and final week of our series How to Ruin Your Faith, Pastor Chris Zauner preaches a powerful message titled “Make It About You Again” from Galatians 6. In this sermon, Pastor Chris challenges us to examine the subtle ways self can move back to the center of our lives. Paul’s warning to the Galatian church reminds us that faith begins to drift when Christianity becomes about performance, image, comfort, comparison, or control instead of the cross of Jesus Christ. Self-centered faith leads to exhaustion, broken community, spiritual weakness, and empty religion. But cross-centered faith leads us back to grace, humility, restoration, endurance, and true transformation in Christ. Through Galatians 6, we are reminded that the Christian life only works when Jesus is at the center and the self stays on the cross. This message calls us to stop living for approval, comfort, and self-preservation, and instead surrender fully to the life, grace, and lordship of Jesus. If you have been feeling spiritually weary, exhausted from trying to hold everything together, or aware that you have drifted from Jesus being central in your life, this sermon is an invitation to return to Him.

    How to Ruin Your Faith: Abuse Freedom (Chris Zauner)

    Pastor Chris Zauner continues week 5 of our series, How to Ruin Your Faith, with a powerful sermon titled Abuse Freedom. Teaching from Galatians 5, Pastor Chris challenges us to understand that the freedom Jesus gives is not permission to live for the flesh, but an invitation to walk by the Spirit. In this message, we are reminded that Christ has set us free from condemnation, shame, religious striving, and the penalty of sin, but that freedom must not be abused. Paul warns the Galatian church not to drift back into slavery through legalism or rebellion, and Pastor Chris shows how both can quietly ruin our faith when we stop depending on Jesus. Through honest reflection, biblical teaching, and a call to surrender, this sermon confronts the works of the flesh and points us toward the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but in crucifying the flesh and keeping in step with the Holy Spirit. If you have ever struggled with compromise, spiritual drift, shame, legalism, or the tension between flesh and Spirit, this message will encourage you to return to Jesus and live in the freedom He died to give.

    How To Ruin Your Faith: Listen to the Wrong Voices (Chris Zauner)

    What if the greatest threat to your faith is not false teaching, but the pressure to fit in? In Week 2 of our series, How to Ruin Your Faith, Pastor Chris Zauner walks through Galatians 2 to show how spiritual drift often begins quietly. It does not usually start with openly rejecting Jesus. It starts when the wrong voices get louder than the truth. Through Paul’s confrontation of Peter, this sermon explores how even mature believers can know the truth, believe the gospel, and still live out of step with it. When fear, approval, pressure, and compromise begin shaping our decisions, they can slowly pull us away from the freedom we have in Christ. This message is a powerful reminder that the gospel does not just comfort us, it also confronts us, corrects us, and realigns us. If you have ever struggled with people-pleasing, fear of rejection, spiritual compromise, or staying silent about your faith, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. In this message, you’ll discover: Why spiritual drift starts with listening to the wrong voicesHow fear of people can distort your faithWhy compromise never stays personalWhat it means to be “out of step” with the gospelHow Jesus brings us back into alignment with truth and graceScripture: Galatians 2 Whether you are new to faith, wrestling with pressure from culture, or trying to live boldly for Jesus, this message will help you recognize drift before it takes you farther than you ever intended to go. Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement to stay anchored in the truth of the gospel. #PastorChrisZauner #HowToRuinYourFaith #ListenToTheWrongVoices #Galatians2 #Faith #ChristianSermon #GospelTruth #SpiritualDrift #ChurchSermon #BibleTeaching

    How To Ruin Your Faith: Start Strong, Drift Fast

    In this first week of our series, How To Ruin Your Faith, we’re reminded that faith doesn’t usually fall apart all at once—it drifts. Like swimmers slowly carried by a current, nothing feels wrong at first. Everything seems normal. But over time, we can find ourselves far from where we started. In our walk with Jesus, drift is subtle. It shows up in small shifts—less time in Scripture, less prayer, slowly justifying things we once felt convicted about. Paul’s response in Galatians is urgent because this kind of drift can happen quickly, and often without us realizing it. In our church family, this invites us to honestly ask: where have we grown casual in areas that once mattered deeply? As we grow together in faith, we’re called to be re-anchored in the true gospel—Jesus plus nothing. The Galatians didn’t reject Jesus; they added to Him. And we can do the same by mixing in performance, approval, personal truth, or control. But the gospel isn’t about what we bring—it’s about what Jesus has already done. When we start reshaping truth, building identity apart from Christ, or seeking acceptance over faithfulness, we begin to drift. So the question isn’t just, “Do I believe in Jesus?” but “Is Jesus enough for me?” The good news is no matter how far we’ve drifted, we’re never too far gone. Jesus is enough, and He is always ready to lead us back and re-anchor our lives in His truth.

    Easter 2026: Come Alive (Chris Zauner)

    In this powerful 2026 Easter sermon, Pastor Chris Zauner delivers a compelling message titled “Come Alive,” exploring what it truly means to be restored to life through Jesus Christ. Centered on Luke 15 and the parable of the prodigal son, this message reveals a deeper truth about our relationship with God: that you can feel far from Him whether you are running away or simply going through the motions. This Resurrection Sunday message challenges both the spiritually distant and the spiritually exhausted. Whether you feel disconnected because of past mistakes or stuck in a routine of religious performance without joy, this sermon reminds us that God is not waiting for perfection—He is inviting us home. Through the lens of the loving Father in Luke 15, we see a picture of grace, restoration, and the heart of God who eagerly runs toward us. Pastor Chris unpacks the tension between rebellion and religion, showing how both can lead to distance from God. But the good news of Easter is that Jesus made a way for us to come alive again. His death and resurrection paid the cost so that we could experience true relationship, freedom, and fullness of life. This message is an invitation to stop striving, stop running, and step into the life God has already prepared for you. The question is not whether you are invited—the question is, will you come in? If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs hope this Easter season.
