    S51 E1 | When the Season Shifts | Pastor Joel Rainey | Covenant Church

    Transitions are a part of every season of life—and even good transitions often begin with loss. In Joshua 1, verses 1–9, God speaks to Joshua and reminds His people that while one season may be ending, God’s purpose is still moving forward. Some of life’s hardest changes are not detours or distractions, but a divine strategy God uses to move us toward the next level of growth, faith, and purpose. God never ends a season for His people without beginning something new and meaningful ahead. This message explores how God prepares us to move faithfully through seasons of change by developing three important dispositions: Versatility — adapting when God shifts our season Trust — believing God is faithful even when the future feels uncertain Courage — stepping forward confidently because God goes with us No matter what season you may be leaving behind, God is still present, purposeful, and leading you onward.

    Follow Me | Pastor Chris Walls | Covenant Church

    It’s easy to get stuck in a comparison trap in our lives. To look at others and wonder if I’m on the right path and fulfilling my God given purpose. Today’s message encourages us to stay focused, trust God’s plan, and embrace what God has for each of us. Life is sure to bring difficult times - even these God can use for a reason later in life, perhaps to encourage others who find themselves experiencing the same struggles.

    S50 E9 | Living in the Power of Virtue | Pastor Joel Rainey | Covenant Church

    All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us. Today we’re going to conclude by talking about living in the power of virtue. We want to avoid the assumption that the answer to vice is simply to exhibit virtue… to “just be good.” Living in victory over your brokenness does not come from a better you, it comes from a new you who is transformed by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Three commitments to help us learn how to live in that power are found in the book of Colossians: live in your new identity, put vice to death, and be faithful in renewal.

    Easter: What Difference Does It Make? | Pastor Joel Rainey | Covenant Church

    This Easter message centers on the global and transformative significance of the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing that Christianity is not built merely on moral teachings but on a historical event that defines everything—if the resurrection is not true, then faith, preaching, truth, and hope are all meaningless; but if it is true, it changes everything for every person. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, the message underscores that the resurrection validates Jesus’ identity, secures forgiveness of sins, guarantees eternal life, and establishes Christ’s present and future reign. It challenges listeners to wrestle honestly with the reality of the resurrection, recognize its life-altering implications, and respond personally—either by surrendering to Christ or rejecting Him—while encouraging believers to live with unwavering faith, purpose, and confidence, knowing their lives and labor are not in vain because Jesus is alive!

    Ancient Covenant: Brave New World | Pastor Joel Rainey | Covenant Church

    On this 40th anniversary of Covenant Church, this message highlights the importance of recognizing that where we are today is the result of the faithfulness of those who came before us—people who said “yes” to God, stepped out in faith, and built a foundation for future generations. As we reflect on its past and looks toward an uncertain future, it emphasizes unchanging truths that anchor believers in every season: God is faithful, humanity is imperfect, and the mission of the church remains the same—to faithfully live out the gospel in a changing world. Rather than clinging only to the past or focusing solely on what’s ahead, believers are called to hold both in tension, learning from past faithfulness while stepping forward in obedience today. Ultimately, it is a call for this generation to trust God, engage the world around them, and live faithfully so that those who come after will be able to stand on their legacy and continue the work.

    S50 E8 | Gluttony | Pastor Joel Rainey | Covenant Church

    All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us. Jesus gives us virtues that overcome these vices. This 8-week series examines the Seven Deadly Sins not to shame, but to reveal our need for grace. Each week shows how these sins infiltrate life, harm relationships, and distance us from God—and how Jesus provides the way out. The final week focuses on virtue and victorious life in Christ. In today’s message, gluttony isn’t just overeating but a heart issue—seeking comfort and fulfillment in physical things instead of God. Our bodies belong to God and are meant to honor Him, calling us to practice self-control and find true satisfaction in Him rather than in overindulgence.
