    IT’S ABOUT TIME | Chasing the Wind | Jason Holdridge

    There is a time for everything, and not every season is meant to last forever. In Ecclesiastes 3, we’re reminded that life moves through seasons of building and tearing down, grieving and healing, holding on and letting go. But sometimes, a painful moment becomes a season, that season becomes our story, and eventually that story begins to define us. In this message, Pastor Jason challenges us to ask: What season am I actually in?What have I allowed to become part of my identity?And is God inviting me to move into something new? The good news is that God is not absent from any season. He is present in the highs, the lows, and everything in between—and He is still making everything beautiful in its time. 📖 Ecclesiastes 3:1–11

    Why Your Words Are More Powerful Than You Think! | Jake Heitman

    Have you ever considered the true weight of your words? In this sermon from our summer Proverbs series, we examine how speech impacts every area of our lives—from self-talk and family dynamics to the workplace and online community. While we often try to control our speech through willpower, Scripture points to a deeper reality: you don't have a mouth problem, you have a heart problem. Drawing from Proverbs, James 3, and Matthew 12, this message reveals why human effort alone can't tame the tongue, and how letting Jesus transform your heart changes everything that comes out of your mouth. Key Scriptures:Proverbs 12:18 Proverbs 16:23-24 Proverbs 18:21 James 3:3-12 Ephesians 4:29 Matthew 12:33-35 Your words are never neutral—they are either planting seeds or growing weeds.

    Learning When "Enough is Enough" | Max Spoelstra

    Can you govern yourself, or do you need someone else to supervise your every attitude and action?In a world that constantly tells us more is better—more information, more success, more noise—the book of Proverbs offers a radically different path: wisdom through restraint.Hebrew wisdom rarely asks, "Is this thing good or bad?" Instead, it asks, "Can you govern yourself?" Honey, work, friendship, and ambition are all good things—until they are pursued without self-control. Augustine called this Ordo Amoris (ordered loves): the art of loving good things in the right order and to the right degree.Join us as we explore what it means to live a "fine-tuned faith," master our spirits, and embrace the spiritual discipline of knowing when enough is enough.📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:Proverbs 25:16 – "If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit."Proverbs 25:17 – "Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—too much of you, and they will hate you."Proverbs 27:14 – "If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse."Proverbs 18:24 – "A person of too many friends comes to ruin..."Proverbs 16:32 – "Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city."1 Corinthians 6:12 – "Everything is permissible... but I will not be mastered by anything."Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 & 7:16–18📌 Takeaways to Remember:Self-Awareness — I can know myself.Self-Restraint — I can limit myself.Self-Discipline — I can train myself.Self-Control — I can govern myself.

    What Does the Bible Really Say About Caring for the Poor? | Ryan Kresge

    What does it truly mean to care for the poor? In a culture that constantly redefines justice, the Bible offers a radically different perspective—one built on the character of God, the dignity of every individual, and the leveling power of the Cross.In this message from our Summer in Proverbs series, we examine what Scripture says about God’s heart for the vulnerable, the difference between modern power dynamics and true biblical justice, and why poverty extends far beyond financial need. "The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern." — Proverbs 29:7📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES IN THIS SERMON:• Proverbs 29:7, 22:9, 14:31, 21:13, 28:27, 19:17• Deuteronomy 15:7–11• Jeremiah 22:16• Luke 4:18• Galatians 2:9–10• Isaiah 61:1–3• Micah 6:8• Matthew 25:37–40If this message encouraged or challenged you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone who needs to hear it!Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

    Real Wisdom | Jon Bell

    Ever look around and feel like the world is full of more foolishness than ever before? The truth is, we all have a version of that "No Ragrets" tattoo—a past decision, a word spoken in anger, or a habit we wish we could ink backwards. In this kickoff message for our summer series, Learning Curve, we dive deep into Proverbs 4 to discover why so much of our regret comes from a lack of wisdom diagnosed too late. King Solomon isn't just giving us information; he’s giving us a roadmap to build a life free of preventable pain. Real wisdom isn't just about what you know—it's about seeing life the way God sees it and having the practical skill to live like it’s true. In this video, you’ll discover: The "Get" Factor: Why real wisdom requires a dogged, relentless pursuit (like a bird dog on the hunt!). Guard Your Heart: Why the cultural advice to "follow your heart" is dangerous, and how to protect the life-source of your decisions. The Ultimate Guide: How shifting from a proud heart to a "hearing heart" changes your entire trajectory. Ultimately, wisdom has a name, and His name is Jesus. If you are tired of playing dumb games and winning dumb prizes, it’s time to pursue the one who can redeem every past regret and heal every foolish wound.

    Sharing the Gospel and Our Lives | Max Spoelstra

    Have you ever looked at your travel photos and realized your own face is blocking the beautiful scenery? In this message, Max shares some hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) vacation photo mishaps with his wife, Brianna, to reveal a deeper truth about our faith: Too often, we try to put ourselves in the frame instead of letting God be the main subject. Stepping away for a few weeks provides a clear vantage point to see what God is truly doing in the church. Looking at Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, we dive into what a healthy, thriving, and contagious church culture actually looks like. Whether you are wondering how to build deeper relationships, looking to stand firm in a confusing culture, or feeling called to a greater mission right in your own neighborhood, this message is for you. "So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us." — 1 Thessalonians 2:8

    How the Enemy Baits You (And How to Stand Firm) | Ryan Kresge

    Are you being set up? In this week of our series, "Encounters with Jesus," we dive into Matthew 4 to look at the infamous showdown between Jesus and the devil in the wilderness. Often, we think temptation is just about breaking rules—but it’s actually a calculated attack on our identity. When you are hungry, tired, and isolated, you become a sitting duck for the enemy. Through the three specific traps laid for Jesus, we discover the exact blueprint the enemy uses against us today: the temptation to be satisfied, the temptation to be awesome, and the temptation to be powerful.If the enemy wanted to catch you, what bait would he use? Watch to learn how to identify the triggers, illusions, and rationalizations of temptation, and how to stand firm on the truth of God's Word.🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages to help you grow in your faith.💬 We’d love to hear from you!

    Why Jesus Refused to Throw the Stone | Sarah Esquivel

    In this message, we dive into one of the most dramatic, publicly charged encounters in all of the Gospels: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1–11).When the self-righteous religious leaders tried to use a woman's shame as a weapon to trap Jesus, He flipped the script. Instead of throwing a stone, He stooped to her level, silenced her accusers, and offered her something completely unexpected: scandalous grace paired with a call to holiness.If you are carrying a label the world gave you—"damaged," "failure," "not good enough"—this video is a reminder that the enemy wants to condemn you, but Jesus wants to consecrate you.Key Takeaways from This Message:The Trap of Self-Righteousness: Why it’s so easy to become an expert at spotting other people's brokenness to avoid dealing with our own.Condemnation vs. Consecration: Condemnation says you are what you did and labels you unfit for use. Consecration says you belong to God and you are deeply valuable.Grace First, Freedom Next: Why trying to "white-knuckle" holiness without first experiencing real grace will only turn you into a Pharisee.Scripture References:John 7:53–8:11Philippians 2:6-8Matthew 5:27-291 Corinthians 6:18Romans 8:1-2Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome
