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. As we release what belongs to the past, lift our eyes, walk in obedience, and keep God first, we can trust Him enough to dream again.

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.

The God of My Enemies | Pastor Bri Murray

What happens when we’re willing to receive God’s mercy, but struggle when He extends that same mercy to someone else? In “The God of My Enemies,” Pastor Bri Murray walks through the story of Jonah and asks a difficult question: Are you okay with God loving your enemies? From praying for those who have hurt us to repenting of selfishness and choosing to serve others, this message challenges us to not only do the right things, but to do them with the right heart posture.

Who Gets to Define Relationships? | Built By God Week 5 | Pastor Simon Franklin

What happens when culture tries to redefine something God designed? In “Who Gets to Define Relationships?”, Pastor Simon Franklin continues our Built by God series by looking at marriage, singleness, and dating through the authority of Scripture. From covenant and character to purity and identity, this message challenges us to let Jesus remain Lord over every relationship and trust that God’s design is still good.

Who Gets to Define Jesus? | Built By God Week 4 | Pastor Simon Franklin

Culture has plenty to say about who Jesus is, but who actually gets to define Him? In Week 4 of Built by God, Pastor Simon Franklin looks at Hebrews 13, Matthew 16, John 14, and other biblical passages to challenge us to build our understanding of Jesus on Scripture rather than culture. This message is a call to know Jesus for who He truly is, surrender every area of our lives to His lordship, and give Him first place.

Who Gets to Define Life? | Built By God Week 3 | Pastor Simon Franklin

Who gets to define the value of human life? In Week 3 of Built by God, Pastor Simon Franklin looks to Psalm 139 and Scripture's teaching about life in the womb, reminding us that life belongs to God because He formed it, knows it, and has entrusted it to us. As the church stands on biblical truth, we're also called to be people of grace, compassion, and hope.

Who Gets to Define the Church? | Built By God Week 2 | Pastor Simon Franklin

Culture has plenty to say about what the church should become, but who actually gets to define it? In Week 2 of Built by God, Pastor Simon Franklin looks at Romans 12, Matthew 16, and other biblical examples to challenge the church to remain shaped by God's Word while still reaching the people around it. This message is a call to stand firm, love people well, and prepare for the harvest ahead.
