    Listen | B.L.E.S.S. | Week 2

    What does it mean to truly listen — and why does it start with God? In this episode from the BLESS series, Pastor Connor Guerzini explores the “L” — Listen. We live in a culture that is constantly competing for our attention. Influencers, tech platforms, advertisers — they all want what only God deserves. And when we give our attention away to screens and noise, we lose the capacity to hear the one voice that matters most. But when we learn to listen to God — really listen — something remarkable happens: we begin to hunger to listen to the people around us. And that hunger is what makes gospel conversations possible. Connor draws from Matthew 17, John 10:27, James 1:19-25, and Jeremiah 7 to show us the posture of a genuine listener, the blessing that comes from obedient hearing, and the cost of a generation that refuses to listen to God’s voice. The Church should be the best listeners in the world. This message will challenge and equip you to get there — starting with God, and then turning toward your neighbor.

    Begin with Prayer | B.L.E.S.S. | Week 1

    We're launching a brand new series called BLESS — a practical, gospel-centered framework for how everyday followers of Jesus can reach the people living right around them. At Upstate Community Church, we're in the middle of a 1,000-day initiative to have 1,000 gospel conversations, and this series is built to equip you with the tools to do exactly that. But before we talk method, we have to talk foundation. In this first message, Pastor Connor walks through why Jesus began his entire ministry with prayer — and why that matters for how we engage our neighbors. From the mountain in Luke 6 to the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11, we see that prayer isn't a warm-up act. It's the main event. Prayer gives us awareness of the people around us, it births passion for the lost, and it doesn't change God's mind — it changes ours. Whether you feel confident sharing your faith or you've never known where to start, this message will give you a new way to think about what it means to be a blessing to others.

    Hope | Unshakeable | Week 3

    When everything feels uncertain, what are you holding on to? Hebrews 6 gives us one of the most powerful images in all of Scripture — hope as an anchor. Not a wish. Not wishful thinking. An anchor. Something fixed, immovable, and planted in something far more solid than anything this world can offer. In the final week of our Unshakeable series, Pastor Bobby Howard brings us to Hebrews 6:18-19 to show us that the hope we have in Christ isn't fragile orcircumstantial. It is secured in who God is and what He has promised — and it holds us even when we feel like we can't hold on. Whatever storm you're in, this hope is your anchor.

    Peace | Unshakeable | Week 2

    What if the peace you're looking for isn't on the other side of your circumstances — but available right in the middle of them? The Apostle Paul wrote Philippians 4 from a prison cell, not a resort. And yet his words carry a peace that has nothing to do with his surroundings. Because the peace of God doesn't wait for your situation to improve — it guards your heart and mind in the middle of the chaos. In Week 2 of our Unshakeable series, Pastor Bobby Howard walks us through Philippians 4:6-9 and shows us how prayer, gratitude, and fixing our minds on what is true opens the door to a peace that surpasses understanding. You don't have to wait for the storm to pass to find peace. That peace is already available to you — right now.

    Faith | Unshakeable | Week 1

    What do you do when following God costs you everything? In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood before a king with absolute power — and they didn't flinch. Not because they were fearless, but because they knew exactly who held their trust. Their faith wasn't fragile. It was forged. In this message from our Unshakeable series, Pastor Bobby Howard opens Daniel 3:13-18 to show us what it looks like to stand firm when everything around us is demanding that we bow. True faith isn't just what we profess in comfortable moments — it's what holds when the pressure is on. If life has been putting your faith to the test, this message is for you.

    Laodicea | Dear Church | Week 7

    Of all seven churches Jesus addresses in Revelation, Laodicea receives the most unsettling diagnosis — not that they were hostile to the faith, but that they had become completely indifferent to it. Lukewarm. Comfortable. Self-sufficient. And Jesus says it made him sick. In this final week of Dear Church, Ken opens Revelation 3:14-22 and brings us face to face with the church that thought it was doing fine. The Laodiceans had wealth, influence, and stability — and none of it had translated into spiritual vitality. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, not to condemn them, but because he still wants in. This message is a mirror. And it might be one of the most important ones in the series.
