    Pressing On | Looking Ahead to the Future

    What if the key to your future was written thousands of years ago by a fugitive king — and you've been reading it backward this whole time? This Resurrection Sunday message, "Looking Ahead to the Future, Not Behind," from Pastor Todd, takes you on a journey from David on the run from King Saul, to the empty tomb, to a crown of righteousness that God has already set aside with your name on it. This is not a message about what you've been through — it's a message about where you're going. Pastor Todd opens in 1 Samuel 27, where David — exhausted, hunted, and desperate — flees to the land of the Philistines just to catch a breath. But even there, without real peace, David writes one of his most prophetic Psalms. Psalm 16, one of the Miktams or Golden Poems, was penned in a moment of crisis, yet its words stretched far beyond David's own life — straight into the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Peter quotes it on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, showing that David was looking ahead through the Holy Spirit to the One who would not decay in the ground. The theme of looking ahead runs through this entire message. From the angels at the tomb asking, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" to Paul's declaration in Philippians 3 about pressing on and winning the prize, to Hebrews 12 calling us to run the race with our eyes fixed on Jesus — every scripture points in one direction: forward. This message will challenge you to stop letting your past drive your present and start living with purpose and intentionality toward the future God has prepared for you. Whether you feel like you've been running just like David — tired, weary, wondering if God even sees you — this message is for you. You have a future in Jesus. The resurrection is not just something that happened 2,000 years ago. It is the reason you can move on, press on, and look ahead with genuine hope. You are not defined by what's behind you. You are called forward into what God has next. If this message encouraged you, please like, share, and subscribe so you don't miss a weekly message from Focus Church. We are a fully online church streaming live on Facebook every Sunday at 10am CST. You can find us online at focuschurch.com. There is a future and a hope waiting for you — let's look ahead together.

    The Big Miss

    What would it look like if you missed the most important moment of your life without even realizing it? In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Todd gets honest about nearly missing one of the most significant days on the church calendar and of the faith — and how that near-miss became a powerful reminder of something far more serious: the danger of missing God. Walking in the Holy Spirit isn't just a theological concept — it's the difference between drifting through life spiritually numb and experiencing the fullness of everything God has for you. This message takes a deep look at Jeremiah chapter 6, where God repeatedly warned His people through prophets, watchmen, and His Word — and they refused to listen. The result wasn't just inconvenience; it was the destruction of Jerusalem and the loss of God's presence among them. But this sermon doesn't stop in the Old Testament. Pastor Todd connects those ancient patterns to the life of Jesus in Luke 19, where Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the people missed their day of visitation — the moment God showed up and they didn't recognize it. It's a sobering mirror for anyone living busy, distracted, and spiritually scattered. Considering the jump from Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday without stopping at the cross — this message is a heartfelt call to slow down, tune in to the Holy Spirit, and stop missing God. Walking in the Holy Spirit means staying sensitive to His voice, staying close to His presence, and letting Him direct your steps every single day. Whether you feel far from God right now or just want to go deeper in your walk with Him, this Palm Sunday sermon will challenge and encourage you. Don't miss what God is doing in your life. This could be your day of visitation.  Subscribe, share this message with someone who needs to hear it, and join us every Sunday at 10am CST on Facebook Live at Focus Church.

    Foundations for Living - The Fear Factor

    Most believers miss out on living the life God wants for them because they don't live by one of the most foundational truths - They need to live in the Fear of the Lord! In this message, Pastor Todd dives deep into what it truly means to live in the fear of the Lord — not cowering in terror, but walking in reverence, awe, and holiness before God. If you've ever wondered why your faith feels shallow or disconnected, this message on the foundational principle of fearing God will open your eyes. Drawing from Psalm 111:10 — "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" — Pastor Todd unpacks why living in the fear of the Lord is not the starting line of the Christian life but the very foundation it is built on. You'll hear why holiness and being set apart aren't old-fashioned religious concepts but living, breathing keys to experiencing God's best in your everyday life. Through real-life stories, Old and New Testament examples, and a raw look at what happens when God's people lose their reverence, this message will challenge you to examine your own heart. Whether you're brand new to faith or you've been walking with Jesus for decades, the call to live set apart and in genuine reverence before God is one you cannot afford to ignore.

    Living Victoriously and Still Struggling

    Have you ever felt like your faith should mean life gets easier—but instead the struggles keep coming? In this message, Pastor Todd tackles one of the most real tensions believers face: living victoriously in Jesus while still dealing with the pressures and struggles of everyday life. You'll discover that godly living doesn't mean a struggle-free life—it means God is actively at work in you, on you, and through you, shaping you into the person He created you to be. Through the stories of Abraham, Paul, and David, you'll see that even the greatest heroes of faith faced real struggles—and they still walked in victory. The struggle is real, but so is God—and learning to fix your eyes on Jesus is the key to enduring every trial with purpose and peace. Whether you're dealing with the tension in life, pressing through financial pressure, navigating relational strain, or simply wondering why a God-loving life still feels so hard, this message will meet you right where you are. Living for Jesus doesn't exempt you from the struggles of life—it means you never walk through them alone, and every one of those struggles is working something eternal inside of you.

    A Look at The Last Days of the Earth

    What does the Bible say about the last days — and are we living in them right now? In this powerful message, Pastor Todd takes a deep dive into Bible prophecy, walking through key passages in Daniel 7, Daniel 9, and 2 Thessalonians 2 to help believers understand what the end times will look like and what signs to watch for. From the chaos in the Middle East and wars erupting across the region, to the rise of a coming world leader who will promise peace before revealing his true nature, this message connects ancient scripture to today's headlines in a way that will open your eyes. You'll gain a clear picture of the 70 weeks of Daniel, the coming Antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and the millennium reign of Christ — all explained in a way that's accessible and grounded in God's Word. Rather than living in fear, Pastor Todd encourages believers to be watchmen — aware, discerning, and filled with hope as they see Bible prophecy unfold before their eyes. If you've ever wondered what the Bible says about end times or the signs of the last days, this is the message for you. Don't miss this eye-opening look at what's coming — and how to be ready.

    God's SWOT Plan

    Did you know that God has always been strategic? Long before business schools ever invented the SWOT analysis, God was already laying out His plan -- identifying strengths, addressing weaknesses, seizing opportunities, and neutralizing threats -- with a precision that spans thousands of years of human history. In this powerful message, Pastor Todd walks through an incredible biblical timeline, starting with Moses in the wilderness and spanning all the way to the Babylonian exile, to show just how intentional and purposeful God is about every detail of your life. Drawing from scriptures like Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:31, you'll discover that God's SWOT plan isn't just for nations -- it's deeply personal. He knows your name. He knows your strengths. He knows the threats you're facing. And He has a strategic plan to use every single one of those things for His glory and your good. Whether you've heard of a SWOT analysis before or this is a completely new concept, this message will give you a fresh way to think about your walk with God and your calling as a believer. Pastor Todd breaks down a spiritual SWOT framework that every believer can use to evaluate where they are and where God is calling them to go. You'll see God's SWOT, the believer's SWOT, and you'll be challenged to do your own personal spiritual SWOT -- sitting down with God, a cup of coffee, and a blank SWOT template to discover the opportunities and strengths you may not have even realized are already in your life. This isn't just theory. These are the swot analysis questions that can transform the way you see yourself and your purpose. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain about your next step, or wondering whether God is really paying attention to your situation, this message is for you. God is not passive. He is not distant. He is strategic, intentional, and deeply involved in your story. You are not an afterthought -- you are part of His plan. Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to live strategically for the God who has been strategic for you all along.

    That Was God

    Have you ever looked back at a moment in your life and thought, "That was God's Hand"? What if God is doing something right now — in your everyday circumstances, your detours, your unexpected opportunities — and you're missing it? In this message from Acts 10, we explore the fascinating story of Cornelius and Simon Peter to uncover what it looks like when the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are actively working behind the scenes of your life. You'll discover how God was orchestrating every detail — from a Roman centurion's vision on a rooftop in Joppa — so that an entire household would receive the Holy Spirit. This story is not just ancient history. It's a living picture of how God still moves today, using ordinary people who are willing to listen and obey, even when they don't have all the pieces of the puzzle. In this episode, we'll walk through the power of following God step by step, trusting that His will is being worked out even when we can't see the full picture. We'll talk about what it means to be attuned to the Holy Spirit, how to recognize the things God is setting up in your life, and why obedience — even in uncertainty — is the key to experiencing His kingdom move. Whether you've been walking with God for decades or you're just beginning to explore what following God really looks like, this message will encourage you to pay attention to what the Holy Spirit is doing around you right now. God's will is always in motion, and He's inviting you into it. Don't miss this one — it just might change the way you see everything happening in your life today.
