    James: Real Life. Real Faith: | James 2:14-26

    What does real faith actually look like? In this episode, Adam Brewer walks us through James 2:14-26—one of Scripture's most challenging passages that forces us to ask: Is my faith just words, or does it have a pulse? Using the story of the "Amarna Princess" (a famous art forgery), Adam shows us how to spot the difference between counterfeit faith and the real deal. You'll discover: ✝️ Why authentic faith is more than just saying the right things ✝️ How belief without action is spiritually dead ✝️ What integrity really means (and why it matters for your walk with Jesus) ✝️ How Abraham and Rahab model faith that does something This isn't about earning salvation through good works. It's about understanding what genuine transformation in Christ actually produces in our lives. If your faith claims to be alive, does it have a heartbeat?

    James: Real Life. Real Faith: | James 1:1-8

    When life doesn't make sense, where do you find joy? In this week's sermon, Adam Brewer kicks off a new series through the Book of James—a letter written to persecuted Christians scattered across the ancient world. James doesn't offer empty promises or feel-good platitudes. Instead, he invites us into a radical reframe: consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds. But what does that actually mean when you're in the middle of sickness, marriage struggles, parenting chaos, or workplace pressure? Adam unpacks the difference between happiness and biblical joy (spoiler: joy is rooted in God's grace, not our circumstances). He explores how God uses trials like a silversmith refines precious metal—purging away what doesn't belong so we can become who He designed us to be. And he introduces the game-changing question: God, why is this happening? paired with God, what are you doing in me? This sermon is for anyone wrestling with pain, asking hard questions, and longing for a heavenly perspective on the mess they're walking through.

    From Now On | John 21

    We've all been there—committed to something, then found ourselves sliding backward. For Peter, it meant denying Jesus three times after swearing he'd die for Him. But what happened next changed everything. In this episode, Adam Brewer unpacks John 21 and the remarkable story of how Jesus restored Peter after his greatest failure. You'll discover that your sin, your mistakes, your broken commitments don't disqualify you from God's purpose. Instead, they're often the setup for His most powerful work in your life. This episode is for anyone who feels like they've drifted too far, disappointed themselves, or lost their way.

In This Episode: • Why Peter returned to fishing after Jesus' resurrection • The power of recognizing Jesus when you've drifted away • How Jesus restores us through questions, not condemnation • What it means to return to your "first love" • The difference between giving up and beginning again Key Takeaway: "The story of following Jesus never ends when you and I mess it up."

    From Now On | Luke 19

    Are you searching for something more? Zacchaeus was a wealthy tax collector—despised, dishonest, and stuck. But when he heard about Jesus, something stirred inside. He had to see for himself. And when Jesus saw him in that tree, He didn't see a crook. He saw potential. He saw someone worth pursuing. In this episode, Adam Brewer walks us through one of Scripture's most transformative encounters. You'll hear about the power of being truly seen by Jesus, what real repentance looks like, and why the church should be a "sycamore tree"—lifting people up so they can see Jesus clearly. The big idea? Jesus' love leads to changed lives, not the other way around. Here's the question for you: What tree are you climbing right now, and are you ready to come down?

    From Now On John 4 pt.2

    What if the reason you're hesitant to share your faith isn't because you lack knowledge—but because you're overthinking it? In this episode of the "From Now On" series, Adam Brewer walks through the story of the woman at the well and reveals something surprising: sharing Jesus doesn't require a theology degree or perfect words. It just requires your story. If you've ever felt nervous about talking to friends, coworkers, or family about faith, this message is for you. Adam unpacks three simple things the Samaritan woman did that changed an entire town—and shows how the same approach works today. You'll see why your hesitation might actually be holding back people who are hungry for something real. What You'll Take Away: • Why you don't need to be a Bible expert to share your faith—your personal experience is enough • How to invite people to Jesus without it feeling awkward or forced • The difference between your job and God's job (spoiler: you're not responsible for saving anyone) • Why the fields are "ripe for harvest" right now—and what that means for your life • How to identify "your one"—the person God is putting on your heart to pray for and invite By the end, you'll understand why Adam says evangelism is simply "one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread." You might also realize there's someone in your life right now who needs to hear what you've experienced with Jesus. Listen if: You want to share your faith but don't know where to start. You've felt guilty about not evangelizing. You're curious about what Jesus actually expects from us when it comes to making disciples.

    From Now On | John 4

    Have you ever felt like nobody would want anything to do with you? In this episode, Adam Brewer walks through one of Scripture's most beautiful stories—a woman at a well who felt invisible, ashamed, and beyond reach. But what happens when she encounters Jesus is a reminder that no one is outside the reach of His grace. This message isn't just about her story. It's about what Jesus reveals about Himself, about how He sees people the world has written off, and about the kind of life He offers when we stop trying to satisfy ourselves with everything else. What you'll hear: • Why Jesus deliberately went through Samaria to meet this one woman—and what that says about how He sees you • The difference between drinking from broken cisterns (the things we keep going back to) and the living water Jesus offers • How shame and guilt don't disqualify you from encountering Jesus—they're actually where He meets us • What it means to leave your water jug behind—the symbol of finally being satisfied • Why watching lives transformed by Jesus is the most satisfying thing we can experience By the end, you'll understand why this encounter at a well changed everything for this woman—and why it can change everything for you too. If you're carrying shame about your past, wrestling with whether Jesus could ever care about you, or just tired of going back to the same empty wells, this episode is for you.

  7. JAN 6

    From Now On

    What if everything you're holding onto is actually holding you back? It's January, and like most of us, you probably want to move forward into something better this year. But here's the thing—moving forward often means leaving something behind. In this episode, Adam walks through Luke 5 and Peter's encounter with Jesus to show what it really looks like to answer God's call. It's not just about making a New Year's resolution; it's about a fundamental shift in how you follow Jesus. What you'll discover in this episode: • Why obedience matters more than your excuses—and how to actually choose it • How your sinfulness will always meet God's grace (and why that changes everything) • What it means when Jesus says "from now on"—and how it applies to your life right now • Why following Jesus requires leaving something behind (and why it's worth it) • How your mission becomes His mission when you say yes to discipleship This message hits different if you're wrestling with whether you're all-in on following Jesus or just going through the motions. Whether you're a longtime follower or just starting to consider what it means to be a disciple, this sermon challenges you to think about what's really holding you back. Listen to the end for Adam's challenge about the nets you have that others can't cast—and what that means for your role in God's mission.

    Grace Makes All the Difference | How to Actually Change in 2026

    How is 2026 going to be any different? That's the question Lane Luttrell asks as we step into a new year—because let's be honest, the same problems waiting for you in December are probably waiting for you in January. But what if the difference isn't about better circumstances or more willpower? What if it's about grace? In this episode, Lane unpacks Romans 6 to show what grace actually means: not just forgiveness, but freedom. When Jesus died and rose again, He didn't just erase your past—He gave you power over sin itself. You're no longer enslaved to temptation, anger, or shame. You're dead to sin and alive to God. What you'll hear: • Why temptation doesn't mean you're broken (you're human) • How grace gives you actual power to overcome what's been holding you back • The story of how one church was reconciled through the power of grace • Why your old self doesn't define your new identity in Christ • How to respond to a chaotic world with grace instead of anger Whether you're struggling with a secret sin, battling daily temptation, or just wondering if real change is possible, this message reminds you that grace isn't just a theological concept—it's the force that transforms how you live, how you treat others, and who you become. Listen now and discover what changes when you actually believe grace makes all the difference.
