This Easter message explores Colossians 1:15–20, revealing Jesus not as a one-dimensional teacher but as the “Cosmic Christ”—the center of all reality. Far from a distant or abstract force, Jesus is both fully divine and deeply personal, holding all things together while inviting us into relationship. If true, the resurrection changes everything: Jesus is not just a guide to admire but a Savior to trust. In a world searching for meaning, the invitation is clear—move beyond a small view of Jesus and encounter the One who both rules the universe and knows your name. First time watching?

3 Kingdom Principles - Allen de Jong March 15, 2026 Forest City Church In this message from Mark 1, we break down three "Kingdom Principles" that show us how to live like Jesus. First, we look at how Jesus balanced working hard with resting hard, showing us that we need both to stay healthy. Second, we see that getting alone with God isn’t just a "good idea"—it’s essential if we want to live out our purpose. Finally, we look at the story of the man with leprosy and discover the radical reach of the Gospel: that no matter how "messed up" or "unclean" we feel, Jesus isn't afraid to reach out and touch our lives. It’s a challenge to stop forgetting what God has done for us and start living a life of purpose in response to His grace. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

The Example of the Kingdom - Jordan Baker March 1, 2026Forest City ChurchIn our second week of looking at the book of Mark, Jordan shared how Mark introduces the kingdom of God by first introducing John the Baptist. Before Jesus begins proclaiming the good news, John embodies what this new kingdom looks like in everyday life. His life reveals three defining characteristics of kingdom people: they understand they are part of a greater story, they live differently from the surrounding culture, and they carry a posture of humility. In contrast to Rome’s power-driven, self-promoting values, John lives simply, points away from himself, and prepares the way for Jesus. The early church had no buildings or influence — only lives that aligned with their message. The invitation for us is to consider: Does our life reflect the kingdom we claim to belong to?

Restoring Your Soul - Jordan Baker | Rest For Your Soul |February 8, 2026 Forest City Church In week 5 of our Rest for Your Soul series, Jordan talks about Mark 2:23–28, where Jesus shows that the Sabbath is a gift, not a rule to follow. Sabbath is meant to help us live well, slow down, notice God’s presence, and receive His grace. In a world that always pushes us to be busy, Sabbath gives us space to heal, grow closer to God, and restore our souls. When we stop trying to do everything perfectly, we remember that God loves us for who we are, not what we do. Sabbath protects our hearts and lets the Great Physician bring real healing.

Reflecting The Light - Riley Braun | Advent |December 7, 2025 Forest City Church In this Advent message on John 1:6–12, Riley explores the role of John the Baptist as a witness to the true Light—Jesus. We are reminded that Christians are not the light but reflections of it, called to point others toward Christ through our lives. Riley shares how witnessing begins not with striving, but with learning to enjoy Jesus’ presence and immersing ourselves in Scripture so we can see Him clearly. As we walk with Jesus, love Him, and know His Word, reflecting His peace, hope, and character becomes a natural response to being with the Light Himself. First time watching?

In this message, The Author Behind the Scenes (Esther 5–7), we step into one of Scripture’s most dramatic reversals. Esther risks everything to speak up, Mordecai is honoured after years of obscurity, and Haman—who plotted destruction—is undone by his own schemes. What looked like coincidence becomes the hidden hand of God, working through courage, integrity, and timing. Haman’s downfall reminds us that God can flip any story, even the ones stacked against us. And Esther’s story points to the greatest reversal of all: Jesus. What looked like defeat at the cross became victory, hope, and freedom for us. When God seems silent or unseen, remember—the hidden Author is still writing, redeeming, and turning darkness into light. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

Why We Do Sundays - Daniel Smith | Sundays |October 19, 2025 Forest City ChurchThis week, guest speaker Daniel from The Way Church shares a message on Communion and why we practice it together as followers of Jesus, drawn from 1 Corinthians 11. Communion isn’t just a ritual—it’s a powerful reminder of who we are as God’s people. It restores our community by uniting us as equals at the table, reveals Christ’s generosity as a gift freely given, and reorients our hearts toward repentance and renewal. In a world obsessed with hierarchy and self, communion calls us back to humility, grace, and love. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

Why We Give - Jordan Baker | Sundays |October 12, 2025 Forest City Church giving as a duty or obligation, but Jesus invites us to see it as a pathway to joy and freedom. Generosity breaks money’s control over our lives and realigns our hearts with God’s purposes. God doesn’t need our money; He desires our trust. As we loosen our grip and give, we experience His provision, participate in His work, and discover the deep truth that it is "more blessed to give than to receive." First time watching?

Self Control - Jordan Baker | Flourish |August 24, 2025 Forest City ChurchJordan wrapped up our Flourishing series by tackling one of the hardest fruits of the Spirit: self-control. Romans 7:15 says, “For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Sound familiar? We’ve all been there—late-night snacks, endless scrolling, chasing habits we swore we’d quit. Willpower and knowledge can only take us so far. The good news? Self-control isn’t something we produce—it’s something the Spirit grows in us. Join us as we explore how Jesus awakens a deeper desire that empowers us to say “yes” to Him, and “no” to lesser things. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

Faithfulness - Amy Baker | Flourish |August 10, 2025 Forest City ChurchIn this inspiring message from our Flourish series, Pastor Amy explores the fruit of faithfulness — what it truly means to be steadfast, reliable, and loyal in our walk with Jesus. Faithfulness isn’t just about belief; it’s about daily, consistent action rooted in God’s unwavering love and commitment to us. Through the example of Gaius in 3 John, we learn that faithfulness requires sacrifice, community, and trust, even when it’s hard. Join us as we discover how God’s faithfulness empowers us to live with integrity and love, every day. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

What Makes us Good? - Jordan Baker | Flourish| August 3, 2025 Forest City ChurchWhy are some Christians… not good? If the Spirit produces goodness, why do we still see hypocrisy, failure, and harm? In this message, Pastor Jordan unpacks Paul’s teaching in Romans 2, showing that true goodness isn’t something we muster—it’s who God is, and it’s given to us by His Spirit. We explore why goodness exists even outside the church, how God’s kindness leads us to repentance, and why Christian community must make room for the outsider. Goodness isn’t about being “better," it’s about receiving God's goodness and letting it change us. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!

What if kindness is more than just being nice? In this message, Sandra explores the radical kindness of Jesus through the parable of the Good Samaritan. She shows how true kindness is costly, disruptive, and deeply transformative—love in action that crosses lines of comfort and culture. Jesus is both the healer and the broken one on the road, inviting us to abide in Him and become people who carry His kindness to others. This isn’t about performance—it’s about presence, friendship, and reflecting God’s heart. First time watching? We’d love to hear from you!
