    I've Got Grace for This! | Pastor Simon Franklin

    What if the mountain in front of you is not proof that God has left? Pastor Simon Franklin takes us to Zechariah 4 and the story of Zerubbabel, a man with a promise, a half-built foundation, and a mountain in his way. This message shows why the mountain does not cancel the promise, why we should not abandon what God started, and how the same grace that helped you begin will help you finish. We hope you leave encouraged.

    Joy in the Middle of Sorrow | Pastor Simon Franklin

    Can you really have joy in the middle of sorrow? Many of us quietly believe that if our faith is strong, we should not feel grief. In this message, Pastor Simon Franklin, Lead Pastor of The Church at The Groves, walks through Psalm 30:5 and shows how Habakkuk, David, and the apostle Paul held on to hope when life was hard. Even Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus. Wherever you are today, we pray you are reminded that the night does not get the final word.

    Make Room for the Miracle | Pastor Simon Franklin

    What do you do when you're praying for rain and God hands you a shovel? In “Make Room for the Miracle,” Pastor Simon Franklin walks through 2 Kings 3, where three armies were desperate for water and God told them to dig ditches. This message challenges us to trust God's instructions even when they don't look like His promises, to prepare for what only He can provide, and to keep digging even when there is no sign of rain.

    When Worship Changes Everything | Why Worship? Week 2 | Pastor Simon Franklin

    What happens when worship becomes more than something we sing? In Week 2 of Why Worship?, Pastor Simon Franklin walks through Isaiah 6 and shows how worship reveals the holiness of God, reveals what needs to change in us, and changes the way we live. Isaiah’s encounter with God reminds us that true worship should move us from revelation, to repentance, to a life of surrender and response.

    Wired for Worship | Why Worship Week 1 | Pastor Simon Franklin

    Worship isn't just what happens when the music starts. In Week 1 of "Why Worship", Pastor Simon Franklin looks at John 4:23–24, Romans 1:25, and the story of Job to show that we were created to worship, whatever has our heart has our worship, and real worship is rooted in who God is rather than what we have. This message is a call to examine what sits on the throne of our hearts and worship God through every season.

    Dream Again Where You Are | God First Week 2 | Pastor Simon Franklin

    What do you do when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would? In “Dream Again Where You Are,” Pastor Simon Franklin looks at the story of Abraham in Genesis 13 and 14 and reminds us that God can give fresh vision right where we are.

    Breaking the Pressure of Money | God First Week 1 | Pastor Simon Franklin

    Financial pressure can make it feel like everything depends on us, but Jesus offers another way to live.

    Second Wind | Pastor Simon Franklin

    There is a kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix. You can keep showing up, serving, praying, and believing while underneath it all, your soul is exhausted. In “Second Wind,” Pastor Simon Franklin shares from Isaiah 40:31 about spiritual fatigue and the promise of renewed strength. Through the picture of an empty cup, an eagle rising above the storm, and a runner hitting the wall, this message is a reminder that weariness doesn’t mean you’re finished. God can renew your strength, help you rise above difficulty, and give you the grace to take the next step.
