    What Happens When You’re Serious About Prayer | Preston Morrison

    Prayer is more than a moment. It’s more than a routine. Prayer is how the church lives. In this message, “What Happens When You’re Serious About Prayer,” we walk through the book of Acts and see how the early church made prayer central to everything they did. From the very beginning, believers gathered with one heart and one voice, seeking God together and depending on Him in every circumstance. The early church didn’t treat prayer as an afterthought. It was the place where their unity was strengthened, where they continually received power from God, and where they found courage to keep proclaiming Jesus even in the face of opposition. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: How prayer unified the early believersWhy prayer was the source of their power and boldnessWhat it looks like when prayer becomes our first responseHow the church prayed in uncertainty, suffering, prison, and even death This message challenges us to reconsider the role prayer plays in our lives—and asks a searching question: Is prayer our last resort, or our first response? Because the early church didn’t just believe in prayer. They built their lives around it.

    How to Receive More Of The Holy Spirit | Preston Morrison

    The enemy doesn’t fear talent. He doesn’t fear strategy. He fears a Church filled with the Holy Spirit. In this message, “Hell Hates More: You Need More Of The Holy Spirit,” we return to Acts 1 and the promise Jesus gave His disciples: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Before they were sent, they were told to wait. Before they witnessed, they were filled. Because the mission of God cannot be accomplished in human strength. This sermon unpacks the reality that there is more available for every believer. In this message, you’ll hear about: The three baptisms revealed in ScriptureThe difference between salvation, water baptism, and Spirit baptismWhy Jesus is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit and fireWhat to do if your spiritual flame feels like it’s flickeringHow to be refilled for specific assignments and fresh boldness Whether you’ve never been baptized in the Holy Spirit… Whether your fire has grown dim… Or whether you need fresh power for the mission in front of you… There is more. More power. More oil. More boldness. More divine enablement. Hell hates when believers live dependent on the Spirit— because a Spirit-filled Church changes everything.

    Why The Church Must Never Get Selfish | Preston Morrison

    In this message, “Hell Hates Pleasing: Why The Church Must Never Get Too Selfish,” we look at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1 and confront a sobering truth: the goal of our lives is to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord—fully pleasing to Him. The enemy doesn’t fear comfortable Christianity. He fears a Church that lives to please God. This sermon challenges believers to examine whether we are living worthy of the Gospel or drifting into self-centered faith. Because we do not belong to ourselves—we were bought at a price. Our calling is higher. Our purpose is clearer. In this message, you’ll hear about: What it truly means to live a life worthy of GodWhy pleasing the Lord requires obedience, not convenienceHow real faith produces visible fruit through good worksWhy knowing God deeply matters more than success, power, or statusThe danger of a selfish Church in a world that needs light Drawing from Colossians 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Ephesians 4, Philippians 1 & 3, James 2, Titus 2, and more, this message calls the Church back to its true focus: honoring God, bearing fruit, and increasing in the knowledge of Him. Because when the Church lives to please God, hell loses ground. And when believers stop living for themselves, the Gospel becomes visible again.

    Why The Church Must Never Get Too Big | Preston Morrison

    Community is more than a crowd. It’s more than a large gathering. Community is family. In this message, “Hell Hates Small,” we walk through Acts 2 and Acts 5 to see that the early church didn’t just grow in public spaces, but from house to house—around tables, in shared meals, prayer, teaching, and everyday life together. It also confronts why we often resist that kind of closeness. Small community can feel risky, exposing our struggles and calling us to forgive and bear one another’s burdens—yet Scripture shows that this is exactly where healing, growth, and true discipleship take root. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why we run from close communityHow God designed us for family, not a fanbaseWhere confession, forgiveness, and healing truly happenWhat it means to lay our lives down in love for one another This message challenges us to step out of isolation and into intentional, vulnerable community—and asks a searching question: Will we choose comfort and anonymity, or will we choose the kind of closeness that forms us into the likeness of Christ? Because hell hates small. And small is where disciples are made.

    Worship God Responds To | Brent Hatchett

    Worship is more than a moment. It’s more than a song. Worship is obedience. In this message, “Worship Is Obedience,” we walk through Genesis 22 and discover that true worship is revealed not by what we say or sing, but by how we live when God asks something costly of us. The story of Abraham and Isaac shows us that worship often leads us into moments of testing, requires deep faith, demands that we carry what’s hard, and ultimately invites us into wonder when God reveals Himself as provider. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why worship often begins with a testHow obedience requires faith before understandingWhat it means to carry the weight of surrenderHow God meets obedience with provision and wonder This message challenges us to reexamine what worship really looks like in our daily lives—and asks a simple but searching question: Will we trust God enough to obey Him, even when the cost is high? Because worship isn’t just expressed with our words— It’s proven through our obedience.

    Sow Like The Harvest Depended On It | Preston Morrison

    What if everybody started sowing— like the harvest actually depended on it? In this message, “What If Everybody Started Sowing?” we’re reminded that the call of Jesus is not passive. The command is simple and urgent: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel.” This sermon challenges believers to live on mission every day—keeping the light on, walking a different path, and moving in the opposite spirit of the world around us. In this message, you’ll hear about: Why believers are called to stay visible and keep the light onWhat it means to walk the narrow road when culture chooses the wide oneHow to overcome evil by doing goodWhy your life should model a different outcomeHow to be ready to share your faith—at any moment You’ll also be encouraged to be ready with: Your personal story of what Jesus has doneBiblical answers grounded in truth and gentlenessScripture for moments when people need hopePractical help when others need it most The harvest is ready. The question is no longer who should go— It’s what would happen if everyone did?

    The Church Has A Problem | Preston Morrison

    The world has a problem—and Jesus named it clearly. Humanity is lost and weary, like sheep without a shepherd. In this message, “The Great Problem of the Church: Understanding Your Place to Take Your Place,” we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 9 and confront both the condition of the world and the responsibility of the Church. The harvest is ready—but the workers are few. The issue isn’t the field. It’s whether the Church is willing to step in, wake up, and take responsibility for the work God has entrusted to us. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why minimizing the problem leads to ignoring the solution The reality of a weary, lost world Why the Church often misunderstands its role What keeps believers from serving and stepping up How Jesus calls us to be part of the solution Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray for workers—He called us to become them. If you call this church home, this message will challenge you to stop spectating and start participating—because the more God moves among us, the greater the harvest He entrusts to us.

    Growth Brings Beautiful Challenges | Preston Morrison

    Growth is a gift—but it’s rarely comfortable. God often uses seasons of divine discomfort to stretch us, mature us, and move us forward. What feels inconvenient, costly, or even frustrating is often evidence that He is doing something deeper than we can see. In this message, “Divine Discomfort: Growth Brings Beautiful Challenges,” we explore how spiritual growth doesn’t happen accidentally—and it doesn’t come without tension. When God brings increase, it forces us to confront what needs to change. Through Scripture, we see that growth: Comes from God alone—not effort, talent, or positionExposes whether our hearts respond with complaints or convictionRequires maturity, responsibility, and the willingness to let go of childish ways Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, Acts 6, and 1 Corinthians 13, this sermon highlights how the early Church navigated rapid growth—not by avoiding problems, but by addressing them with wisdom, prayer, and obedience. What could have divided them instead multiplied their impact. In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why God is the true source of all growthHow growth can reveal what’s really in our heartsThe difference between reacting in frustration and responding with faithWhy maturity always costs something—but leads to something better If you’re in a season where things feel stretched, uncomfortable, or demanding more of you than before, this message may help you see it differently. Because divine discomfort isn’t meant to harm you— It’s often the evidence that God is growing you.
