    Preparing For A Move Of God | Ps. James Griffin | Accelerate '26 Friday Night

    What should you do when you are waiting on God to move? How can you prepare spiritually for the next season of your life, family, or church? In this powerful message from Friday Night at Accelerate, guest speaker James Griffin teaches from Acts 1:12–26 and shows how the first followers of Jesus prepared for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Instead of wasting their season of waiting, they devoted themselves to prayer, reached for the Word of God, walked in obedience, and made themselves available for whatever Jesus wanted to do next. If you have been praying for God to restore a marriage, heal a relationship, bring a prodigal home, break an addiction, open a door, or move powerfully in your church, this sermon will help you understand what faithfulness looks like while you wait. James explains why prayer must become our first response rather than our last resort, why knowing Scripture is not the same as obeying Scripture, and why Christian obedience should flow from the gospel rather than guilt, fear, or an attempt to manipulate God. You will also discover what the story of Matthias teaches us about being found ready, living with a heart fully set on Jesus, and choosing faithfulness over recognition. God does not need you to have everything figured out. He is looking for people who will put their yes on the table, pursue His presence, surrender every part of their lives to the lordship of Jesus, and obey what He has already said. God is not finished. The question is, when He looks for someone to use, will He find you ready?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    The Message on The Move | Ps. Brian Smith | Accelerate '26 Thursday Night

    From Thursday night at Accelerate, Pastor Brian Smith challenges Church on the Rock to stop viewing the local church as a cruise ship built for spectators and begin seeing it as a battleship filled with people on mission. Teaching from Acts 1:8 and Matthew 16:18, Pastor Brian explains that the church is not simply a place we attend to hear a message. The church is a group of people carrying the message of Jesus into their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and world. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, every follower of Jesus is called to be His witness and participate in the Great Commission. In this practical and urgent message, Pastor Brian shares his personal testimony of moving from religion into a real relationship with Jesus, confronts the excuses and fears that keep Christians from sharing their faith, and reminds us that awkward conversations can change lives. You do not need a ministry title, perfect theology, or the gift of evangelism to tell someone what Jesus has done for you. You need compassion, initiative, and a willingness to take the next step. We have all fallen. We cannot get up. Jesus took the fall, and Jesus got up. Discover how to walk in the Holy Spirit’s power, clearly share the gospel, pray for your plus one, and change your world as part of a church on the move. If not me, then who? If not here, then where? If not now, then when?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    Through Him. For Him. | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

    In the final message of From the Vine, Pastor Josh Hersey returns to John 15 and Colossians 1 to show us that Jesus is not simply another priority to place at the top of our list. He is before all things, everything was created through Him and for Him, and our lives begin to change when we align ourselves with that reality. The work of a disciple is not to manufacture fruit through more effort. It is to abide in Christ and allow His life to produce something within us that striving never could. Through Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15, this message asks a deeply personal question: What are we still holding back from God? Whether it is an area we refuse to surrender or a cycle we desperately want to escape, Jesus invites us to come honestly, without condemnation, and ask Him to help us there. Because of His broken body and shed blood, we have everything we need to surrender, remain in Him, and become more like Him. Watch Through Him. For Him. and discover why the Christian life was never meant to be lived through striving, but through abiding.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    For Him. For Them. | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

    Following Jesus is not a self improvement project where spiritual fruit exists only to make our own lives easier. In “For Him. For Them.,” Part 10 of From the Vine, Pastor Josh Hersey teaches from John 15 that the work of a disciple is not to force fruit, but to abide in Jesus. When we remain connected to the Vine, His patience, love, generosity, and compassion begin to flow through us for the good of the people around us. Through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we see that Jesus seeks people others overlook, calls them by name, and brings salvation into places religious people may avoid. This Christian sermon explores what it means to love people sacrificially, share your faith without having every answer, tell your testimony, identify your “plus one,” and let your light shine through practical acts of service. No one is too far gone for Jesus, and every follower of Christ has someone they can love, serve, invite, and point toward Him. Have you ever wondered what it means to abide in Christ, how to share the gospel naturally, or how to reach someone who is close to you but far from God? This message offers a biblical and practical answer. Who is your plus one, and what step can you take to help them experience the hope and love of Jesus?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    Actions of Abiding | Pastor Josh Hersey | From the Vine

    What does it really mean to abide in Jesus? In John 15, Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” He reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. But abiding in Christ is not passive. It is not just sitting still, feeling spiritual, or keeping our faith private. When we are truly connected to Jesus, His life begins to produce fruit in us, and that fruit is not just for us. It is for the people around us. In this message from our From the Vine series, Pastor Josh Hersey teaches from John 15, 1 John 3, 1 John 4, and Psalm 143 about the action of abiding. Real love shows up through action. Real discipleship moves us toward serving, giving, praying, caring, witnessing, leading, and laying down our lives for others the way Jesus laid down His life for us. If you have ever wondered how to grow spiritually, how to bear fruit as a Christian, or what your next step of obedience might be, this message will challenge and encourage you. Abiding in Jesus does not mean doing more to earn God’s love. It means staying connected to the source of life so deeply that His love begins to move through your life toward others. Am I trusting God to lead me forward in His will, or am I trusting in my own way?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    Gaze vs. Glance | Cynthia Evans | From the Vine

    What you keep your eyes on will eventually shape your faith. In this message from our From the Vine series, Cynthia teaches on faithfulness through the lens of “gaze versus glance.” So often, we give long attention to fear, temptation, pressure, grief, anxiety, comparison, and the enemy’s lies, while only glancing at the truth of God’s Word. But Jesus calls us to remain connected to Him, because apart from Him we can do nothing. Looking at John 15, Galatians 5, Genesis 3, 2 Samuel 11, Judas’ betrayal, 2 Timothy 1:7, and Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that faith grows when our gaze stays fixed on God. Fear will try to paralyze us, sin will try to distract us, and life will try to overwhelm us, but Jesus is still the author and perfecter of our faith. If you have been walking through fear, distraction, temptation, or heaviness, this message will encourage you to lift your eyes again and keep your gaze on Christ. Scriptures: John 15:5, Galatians 5:22-23, Genesis 3:1-7, 2 Samuel 11, 2 Timothy 1:7, Hebrews 12:1-3   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

    Fullness of Joy | Larry McCall | From the Vine

    What if lasting joy is not something you chase, but something you receive by staying close to Jesus? In this message from the From the Vine series, Larry McCall explores Jesus’ words in John 15 and reveals how abiding in Christ leads to spiritual growth, obedience, lasting satisfaction, and the fullness of joy. When we stop striving to produce fruit on our own and begin focusing on our relationship with Jesus, His life naturally begins to shape ours. Fear, anxiety, disappointment, and hardship may still be present, but they do not have to overpower the joy God has placed within us. Through John 15:10–11, Psalm 16:11, and other powerful scriptures, this message shows how the presence of God becomes an anchor during difficult seasons. Discover how to recognize when you have drifted, turn your attention back to Jesus, and experience a joy that is deeper than your circumstances and stronger than every competing emotion.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

    Faith Questions Christians Are Afraid to Ask

    What do you do when your faith feels strong one week and distant the next? In the Season 2 finale of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh Hersey answers honest questions about anxiety, depression, habitual sin, doubt, baptism, and what it means to trust Jesus when your feelings and circumstances are constantly changing. This Christian faith conversation explores how Philippians 4 speaks to anxiety, why confession and biblical community are essential for healing, how believers can bring difficult questions to God, and why doubt does not automatically mean your faith is failing. The conversation also examines baptism as a declaration of allegiance to Jesus, the lordship of Christ, and the question Jesus asked at the Pool of Bethesda: “Do you want to be healed?” Whether you are wrestling with doubt, struggling to break an old pattern, or trying to stay close to Jesus during a difficult season, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement for walking honestly with God.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?
