    Changing My Season by Changing My Mind // Richie Mullis

    We often spend endless nights lying awake in anxiety, allowing our minds to run wild with worst-case scenarios. Research reveals that our brains process thousands of daily thoughts, the vast majority of which skew negative and repetitive. Left unchecked, these patterns forge toxic habits that hold our future hostage. In this powerful teaching, Richie Mullis breaks down Acts 3:19 to reveal how true biblical repentance—changing the way you think—triggers an immediate shift in your personal season. You will learn to stop fighting external battles and start winning the war raging within your own mind. Here is what you will learn in this message: -- Why your inner self is often your greatest adversary and how to stop letting anxiety write your story. -- The essential process of auditing your thoughts to identify fear, bitterness, and toxic traps like comparison. -- How to actively arrest negative thinking by replacing it directly with the truth of God's Word. -- Why staying committed in tough situations releases an anointed mindset that turns your entire life around. -- The danger of ignoring minor negative thoughts before they grow into unmanageable dragons. Scriptures for Further Study -- Acts 3:19 -- Philippians 4:8 -- 2 Corinthians 10:5 -- Colossians 3:2 -- Psalm 23:5 -- Ephesians 6:17 -- Psalm 133:1-3 -- Genesis 1:1 -- Malachi 3:10 -- Ephesians 3:20 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

    Blinded by Certainty // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    We rarely have the full story behind someone else's actions, yet we constantly convince ourselves that we understand their exact motives. In "Blinded by Certainty," Ryan Kramer challenges us to confront the hidden trap of self-righteousness and learn how to see people through the eyes of Christ. Drawing from the miracles in Matthew chapter 9, this teaching contrasts the blind faith of two persistent men with the hardened certainty of the Pharisees. While the crowd witnessed the power of God, the Pharisees had already formed their conclusions, interpreting miraculous light as darkness because their hearts were already set. If you have ever felt distance growing between you and a loved one, a coworker, or a friend, the issue may not be their actions, but the story you have attached to them. This message provides a practical roadmap to help you stop making assumptions, identify your personal filters, and invite God to change your heart before demanding change in others. Here are the key takeaways from this message: -- We frequently mistake partial vision for complete truth, convincing ourselves we know the motives, thoughts, and character of others without having all the facts. -- We fall into a dangerous pattern: we see an action, assume the motive, treat our assumption as a conclusion, and interact with that conclusion as absolute truth. -- What we often label as spiritual discernment or God's guidance can actually be personal pride hidden behind a scripture verse. -- Genuine, committed faith continues to pursue Jesus persistently through difficulty, rather than pulling away when answers are not immediate. -- Our past experiences, unhealed hurts, unmet expectations, and insecurities create distorted filters through which we misinterpret the present behavior of others. -- True spiritual maturity begins when we ask God to reveal our own blind spots and transform our hearts instead of focusing entirely on changing someone else. -- We must learn to separate objective facts from the subjective stories and negative interpretations we attach to them. 5.

    When God Says Wait // Chris Nelson

    We live in a world built on speed and instant convenience, making waiting a lost art. Yet throughout Scripture, God’s greatest promises are almost always tied to seasons of waiting. Through the lives of Abraham and Sarah, this message explores how God uses delayed answers to shape our character, refine our trust, and build our faith. Discover how to stay obedient and anchored in God’s word even when your current circumstances seem to contradict His promises. Key Insights from this Teaching: -- Waiting builds your faith by forcing you to rely on God's promises rather than visible facts. -- God's silence is not His absence, and His delay is never His denial. -- Human impatience often leads us to manipulate or accelerate God's timeline, creating unnecessary baggage and problems. -- Problems often precede promises; facing obstacles is a normal part of entering God's ultimate calling. -- True faith means trusting that God will fulfill His word even when your current circumstances say otherwise. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 17:1-7 -- Genesis 18:11-14 -- Hebrews 11:1 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

    Hurry Up, Jesus! // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    Have you ever felt like your entire spiritual walk is an endless cycle of hurry up and wait? You rush to take a step of faith, obey God, or face a medical or financial crisis, only to be met with complete silence. When our circumstances feel urgent, we naturally assume God should move with urgency too. However, as we look at the ministry of Jesus, His timing rarely matches our expectations. In this teaching, Ryan Kramer examines the story of Jairus from Matthew 9 and Mark 5 to show what happens when Jesus intentionally slows down during a life-or-death emergency. -- Understanding the origin of "hurry up and wait" and how commanded soldiers must trust their officer's higher perspective and timing. -- Exploring Jairus's desperate plea as a respected synagogue leader risking his pride, status, and reputation for his dying daughter. -- Analyzing the intentional delay caused by the woman with the issue of blood and how Jesus values both the prominent leader and the forgotten outcast equally. -- Examining the heart-wrenching moment Jairus received news of his daughter's death and why Jesus commanded him to "Don't be afraid. Just have faith." -- Discovering why Jesus never panics in any crisis, whether facing disease, storms, demonic oppression, or death itself. -- Realizing that Jesus often uses seasons of waiting to do a work inside of us before doing a work for us.

    When Enough Is Enough // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    Are you tired of coping with secret struggles, unanswered prayers, or spiritual numbness? In part eight of the "That's Crazy" series, Pastor Ryan Kramer takes us into Matthew chapter 9 and Mark chapter 5 to explore the miracle of the woman who suffered for twelve long years. This message exposes how disappointment can paralyze our faith and explains why moving toward Jesus, despite the obstacles and crowd noise, changes everything. If you are ready to declare that enough is enough, this teaching provides the precise spiritual roadmap to move from passive despair to holy desperation. -- Frustration as a Sacred Signal: Understand why persistent frustration might be God's way of preventing you from settling on a lower level of living. -- Moving Past Spiritual Numbness: Learn how remaining in one spiritual position too long creates numbness, and why taking action restores movement to your faith. -- Despair versus Desperation: Discover the vital difference between accepting a painful situation as your permanent identity and choosing to reach out to Jesus for total transformation. -- Preaching to Yourself: Discover the importance of internal dialogue during hard seasons and why aligning your thoughts with God's promises breaks cycles of shame. -- Reaching Beyond the Crowd: Recognize the difference between simply being around religious culture and intentionally reaching out to touch the power of Jesus. Scriptures for Further Study -- Leviticus 15:25-27 -- Proverbs 27:6 -- Malachi 4:2 -- Matthew 9:18-22 -- Mark 5:25-34 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

    When Faith Meets Frustration // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    Navigating the Space Where Faith and Frustration Collide In week six of the "That's Crazy" series, Ryan Kramer dives into the miraculous account of the paralyzed man lowered through a rooftop to reach Jesus. Drawing a vivid comparison between mountain climbers facing the thin air of Mount Everest’s "death zone" and believers navigating grueling seasons of life, this message breaks down why pushing through spiritual resistance is vital to experiencing God's power. Learn how to overcome the human tendency to take the easy way out and discover how God uses obstacles, critics, and unexpected methods to bring ultimate healing. Key takeaways from this teaching include: -- Why human biology and spiritual nature default to the "law of least effort" when life gets difficult, and how to push past the urge to quit. -- How surrounding yourself with the right people determines whether you get left at the door or brought directly to the feet of Jesus. -- The danger of confusing "different" with "wrong" when God answers prayers in ways that don't fit our personal expectations. -- How God turns our critics into catalysts for our growth and healing. -- Why Jesus commands us to pick up and carry the very "mats" of past shame and failure that He delivered us from.

    The Cost of "No" // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    There's a woman mentioned in Matthew 8 who appears in exactly two sentences — and then never again. No name. No backstory. No follow-up. But Matthew went out of his way to include her. And what she did next after Jesus touched her life might be the most important lesson in the entire chapter. She got up and she served. Not because she had to. Because she wanted to. In this message, Pastor Ryan wraps up the summer "That's Crazy" series by asking a question that cuts close: what invitation from Jesus have you been saying no to — not because you don't love him, but because you've been so focused on what it might cost you that you never considered what God wants to give you on the other side of your yes? 📖 *Scripture Reference:* Matthew 8:14-15, Titus 2:14, Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 10:39, Proverbs 24:16, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Proverbs 11:25, John 13 💡 *Big Idea:* Peter's mother-in-law shows us that the natural response to encountering grace is service — not obligation, but overflow. When we say no to serving, we don't just miss out on impacting others. We miss out on the life, relationships, formation, and fulfillment God has waiting for us. ❤️ *Key Quote:* "You're never going to discover God's purpose for your life if you're unwilling to participate in God's work." ⸻ 📚 *Topics in this Message:* The things we resist most often become the things we appreciate most Matthew 8:14-15 — Peter's mother-in-law and a response that changes everything Why Matthew specifically singled her out in the middle of a crowd of healings The word "serve" in the original Greek — same root as "deacon" (practical and spiritual) Grace doesn't just forgive us — it reshapes what we value Four things we miss when we say no to Jesus's invitation Miss #1: The life you were created to live (purpose vs. comfort) The grand piano used as a dining room table — and what it means for your calling Miss #2: People in your corner — Proverbs 24:16 and Ecclesiastes 4 Miss #3: Becoming who God wants you to be — John 13 and the disciples' feet There are things God can only teach us while we serve Miss #4: Seeing God work through you — and the text message from a Liberty volunteer +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

    The Jesus Way // That's Crazy // Ryan Kramer

    We live our lives laser-focused on our own daily tasks, deadlines, and schedules. But what if our hyper-focus is causing us to miss the very people God has placed directly in front of us? Pulling from the famous "gorilla test" experiment on inattentional blindness, Ryan Kramer challenges us to look closely at Matthew 9 to see how Jesus trained His disciples. Jesus wasn't just performing jaw-dropping miracles, He was actively reshaping how His followers interact with a broken world. This message outlines three vital transformations that must occur in our hearts if we want to truly live the kingdom life. -- Jesus wants to change what we see by pulling us out of our self-consumed routines so that we stop treating the cashiers, neighbors, and strangers in our paths as mere background noise. -- Jesus wants to change what moves us by softening our media-saturated, callous hearts with a deep, Greek-defined compassion that forces us to let other people's pain interrupt our personal plans. -- Jesus wants to change what we live for by realigning our shifting priorities away from selfish preferences and toward pointing broken, shepherdless people to His grace.
