    Teach Me to Listen

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered why prayer sometimes feels routine, awkward, or empty--even when you're trying your best? In this message, we begin a new series called "Teach My Heart to Pray." We look at the moment when the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally said, "Lord, teach us to pray." Instead of giving them a script, Jesus began shaping their hearts. This sermon explores what it means to slow down, listen, and let Jesus teach us how to live close to the Father--not by praying harder, but by becoming more teachable. Whether you've prayed your whole life or you feel like you're still figuring it out, this episode offers hope, honesty, and an invitation to draw closer.

    More than Healed

    Send us a text We all pray prayers like this: "Lord, fix this. Help me get through this. Make this better." And sometimes God answers--He heals, He helps, He provides. But in Luke 17, we discover something surprising: Ten people were healed... but only one was made whole. In this episode, we talk about the differences between getting a quick fix from God and returning to Jesus in a way that brings real wholeness, hope, and change from the inside out. Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.

    Love like a Child

    Send us a text What if we have been talking about love...but not actually living it? In this Advent message, Pastor Nicole closes our "Like a Child" series by returning to 1 Corinthians 13 and to the heart of the gospel: a love that is patient, kind, honest, present, and willing to meet people right where they are. This episode wrestles with questions we don't always say out loud: Why do we put conditions on love?Why is it easier to talk about love than practice it?What does Jesus-shaped love really look like in real life?And what would happen if we received God's love "just as we are"--first?Along the way, Nicole shares stories of grace, honesty, and the surprising ways God keeps showing us who He is--including a powerful moment from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood that reminds us what it means to truly see someone.

  4. Joy like a Child

    Joy like a Child

    Send us a text Joy can feel like the first thing to disappear during the Christmas season--especially when life feels unresolved. In this Advent message, Pastor Jason explores Luke 1:39-45 and reminds us that biblical joy does not wait for everything to make sense. As Mary visits Elizabeth, joy erupts not because circumstances have changed, but because God's promises are trusted. This sermon invites listeners to rediscover a childlike faith that believes God is faithful--even in the waiting. Whether you're walking through Advent for the first time or returning to faith with questions, this sermon offers encouragement, honesty, and hope rooted in Jesus. Discover how joy grows when we trust God like a child.

  5. Peace like a Child

    Peace like a Child

    Send us a text If you love Jesus but feel worn down by the weight of life--family pressure, grief, finances, burnout, or the constant need to hold everything together--Jesus offers you something your heart desperately craves. Peace. In this Advent message, Pastor Jason reflects on Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:25-30: "Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Jesus does not offer peace by removing responsibility or chaos, but by offering Himself in the middle of it. This message explores what it means to stop trying to control what was never ours to carry and to discover peace. Not through strength or self-reliance, but through childlike trust in Christ. Real peace does not come having everything figured out--it comes from knowing who is holding you. If like feels crushing and rest feels out of reach, listen in. Jesus is still calling the weary to come.

  6. Hope like a Child

    Hope like a Child

    Send us a text Christmas is supposed to be a season of hope, but for many of us, it feels heavy. The calendar is full. The expectations are high. And the world feels anything but peaceful. If you have ever wondered why the most "joyful" time of year can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, or numb... this sermon is for you. Pastor Nicole opens our Advent series "Like a Child" with a powerful reminder that hope is not something we create, but it is something we receive. Through the surprising true story of a silent night on a World War I battlefield and the ancient promise of Isaiah, this sermon speaks to anyone walking through darkness and longing for the light that actually lasts. This is not a message about pretending everything is fine. It is about hope that steps into the mess with us. It is about a peace that does not fade when the circumstances change. Whether you are feeling worn down by the season, unsure what you believe, or simply looking for something steady to hold onto, this episode offers space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover where real hope is found.

  7. Come

    Come

    Send us a text For many people, the words "Jesus is coming again" do not bring comfort. They bring anxiety. Fear-filled sermons, end-times charts, and bad theology have left some believers uneasy, confused, or even wounded. But that's not how the Bible ends. In Revelation 22:20, Jesus' final promise is not meant to terrify us; it is meant to give hope. The early Church did not dread Christ's return; they longed for it. So why do so many of us struggle to feel the same way? We take a gentle, honest look at the last words of Scripture and rediscover the heart of Jesus behind them. This message sets aside speculation and fear to focus on relationship, trust, and hope. If you have ever felt uneasy about the Second Coming, or if end-times teaching has caused more harm than healing, this message is for you. Because when we truly know the One who is coming, fear gives way to hope, and our hearts can finally say, "Come, Lord Jesus."

  8. A Lot of Noise for Nothing

    A Lot of Noise for Nothing

    Send us a text What if God is not impressed with our worship... even when it looks and sounds impressive to us? In this eye-opening episode, Pastor Jason digs into one of the most uncomfortable passages in Scripture, Amos 5:21-24. God tells HIs own people, "Take away the noise of your songs." Why? Because their lives did not match their praise. If you have ever felt like church was just a routine... if you have ever wondered why your spiritual life feels flat... or if you have ever carried the title "Christian" while feeling disconnected from the life Jesus actually calls us to live--this message is for you. Jason breaks down what real worship looks like, why God cares more about how we live than how we sing, and how Jesus invites us into a transformed life that overflows with justice, mercy, and integrity. This is not a guilt-trip; it is a grace-filled wake-up call. Whether you are a longtime believer, a Sunday-only Christian, or someone who just knows there is more to faith than checking boxes... this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and maybe even change you. If you are ready for a faith that is real, honest, and lived--not just worn as a label--hit play.
