    Say It Before You See It | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

    Send us Fan Mail Pressure has a way of making faith feel abstract, until the day a “letter” shows up and suddenly you have to decide what you really believe. We go to 2 Chronicles 32 and trace Hezekiah’s response when Sennacherib threatens Judah, not after failure, but after years of doing what’s right. If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this happening when I’m trying to follow God?”, this message puts language to that tension and offers a grounded way forward. We talk about radical faith as more than positive thinking: praying bold prayers, taking courageous steps, and trusting God more than fear. Then we break faith down into five practical words you can actually use this week: hear, speak, step, stay, tell. You’ll hear why faith is developed by hearing the Word of God, why speaking matters when you’re staring at a mountain, and why action is not optional if we want to walk by faith and not by sight. We also dig into the hardest part for most of us: staying when the answer feels delayed. Patience is not passive; it is endurance that keeps you planted on what God said until it becomes real. And we end with “tell”, because faith is meant to be passed on, especially in families, through honest stories of God’s faithfulness. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s in a fight, and leave a review so more people can find it. What’s the next faith step you need to take today?

    Is It Enough? | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

    Send us Fan Mail Most of us keep a ledger. We do something kind for a spouse, a friend, a coworker, and then quietly wait to see whether it gets noticed, matched, or returned. That is not love. It is a loan with good PR. In week three of the series What Do You See?, Pastor Jeremy Saylor opens 1 John 4 and unpacks what he calls outrageous love: a cross shaped love that gives sacrificially, forgives freely, serves humbly, and loves people past what they deserve, because that is how we were loved first. Three things happen when you walk through this doorway. You discover you were loved before you ever turned toward God. You find freedom from what was done to you. And reconciliation starts moving through you toward the people who hurt you. Along the way the message retells the Good Samaritan with you in the ditch instead of on the donkey, and looks at Joseph standing in front of the brothers who sold him, holding absolute power, choosing grace instead. Love was never meant to be a finish line you sprint toward. It is the starting line you run from. Key Scriptures: 1 John 4:7–11 | 1 John 4:19 | 1 John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Romans 5:8 | Ephesians 2:8–9 | Luke 10:25–37 | Genesis 37 | Genesis 39:2, 21, 23 | Genesis 45:4–5 | Genesis 50:19–20 | Psalm 105:17–18 Response Questions Where do you see yourself in the story of the Good Samaritan, and what changes if you are the one in the ditch rather than the one deciding whether to stop?What hurt or pain are you still carrying that Jesus has already taken care of?Whose name came to mind while you listened, and what would it take to release that person to God this week?

    7th Day Wounded, but 8th Day Rooted | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

    Send us Fan Mail Seven is the number of completion. Eight is the number of what comes after. New beginnings, resurrection, and life on the other side of what looked final. In the opening message of the series What Do You See?, Pastor Jeremy Saylor walks through Jeremiah 1, where God does not hand a terrified young prophet a strategy. He hands him a vision, an almond branch, the first tree to wake up after winter. From there the message opens up why the almond branch showed up in Aaron's budding staff and in the golden lampstand, why the earliest Christians called themselves eighth day people and built their baptistries with eight sides, and why eight specific doorways may be standing open in front of you right now. Water at 211 degrees is just hot. At 212 it moves a train. You may be one degree away from a completely different life. Watch to the end, and subscribe for new messages every week. Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 1:1–12 | Psalm 139:16 | Numbers 17:8 | Exodus 25:31–34 | 1 Peter 3:20 | John 11:25 | John 17:14–16 | Philippians 1:21 | Nehemiah 8:10 | Matthew 6:10 | Ephesians 3:20 Response Questions What do you see? Ask God to show you something about your life that you have not been able to see clearly on your own.Which doorway is God inviting you through right now: His presence, outrageous love, radical faith, intentional growth, irrational generosity, contagious joy, bridge-building community, or missional living?What excuse have you been repeating back to God every time He reminds you of what He has called you to, and what would it take to lay it down this week?
