FOUNT

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Josh walks us through three gardens, Eden, Gethsemane, and the empty tomb, revealing what was lost, what Jesus surrendered, and what has now been restored. In a garden filled with grief, Mary stood face to face with Jesus and didn't recognize Him until He spoke her name, reminding us that this is personal. This message is an invitation to turn twice, not just to see Jesus, but to recognize Him when He calls you.

On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated while Jesus wept. In this message, we walk through Luke 19:28–44 and the tension of a King who didn't come to meet expectations, but to exceed them. As Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks why Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we're invited to examine our own hearts, our expectations, and discover a love that leads not to power, but to the cross.

This week, Pastor Mike Oaks shares a message titled Out of the Wilderness, walking through Deuteronomy 6 and the journey of Israel into the promise. As we follow their story, we're invited to reflect on our own, learning the danger of forgetting God in seasons of comfort, what it means to live from a new identity as sons and daughters, and how true victory comes not from our strength but from trusting that the battle belongs to Him.

This week's message, The Path of Perfect Love, walks through 1 John 4:14–19 and the tension we feel when we fall short and begin to question where we stand with God. When you begin to understand the deep, otherworldly love of God, it changes the way you live. Love starts to lead instead of fear, and even in the moments you fall short, there's no hiding or striving, just a return. Pastor Kathryn Myers reminds us that repentance becomes something you rejoice in, not because you got it right, but because His love keeps drawing you back into communion with Him, restoring you, transforming you, and anchoring you in the truth that you are fully known and still fully loved.

In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 on what it means to live a life of ceaseless prayer. Through Paul's encouragement to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances, we are invited into a deeper relationship with God that extends beyond occasional prayer into everyday life. Pastor Mike explores how starting with joy, understanding God as our Father, and learning to walk with Him throughout the day transforms prayer from a routine into an ongoing conversation. As we grow in this relationship, we discover that God's will is not simply that we pray more, but that we live in constant communion with Him.

In this message, we look at 2 Corinthians 3:16–18 and the process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ. In a culture that values quick results and visible success, following Jesus often feels slower and more difficult than we expect. Through Paul's words, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is actively at work in us, shaping our lives from one degree of glory to another. Even in seasons of pressure, anxiety, weakness, or grief, God meets us in the process and uses those moments to form us more deeply into the image of Christ.

In the middle of the desert, overlooked and running from pain, Hagar encounters a God who finds her, sees her, and hears her. This message reminds us that God is not distant from our suffering or unaware of our story. He meets us in our hardest moments, opens our eyes to His provision, and invites us to see Jesus, the living water who is with us even when we feel unseen.

Pastor Josh explores the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 and what faith looks like when we don't know what to do. Faced with overwhelming opposition, the king turns first to honest prayer: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." This message invites us to admit what we cannot control, fix our eyes on God, and let praise declare where our trust truly rests. When we place the full weight of our lives on Him, we discover the battle was never ours to fight alone.|

Pastor Josh Kelsey explores God's sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9–10. Sovereignty isn't a picture of a distant King controlling from afar, it's the love of a Father who carries His people home. Sovereignty Is Not God's Power Over You, It Is God's Promise to You. The God who declares the end from the beginning is the same God who says, "I have made you, I will carry you, I will sustain you." Because He is sovereign, nothing in your story is wasted, and nothing can separate you from His purpose.

In this message, Brittany reminds us that being a disciple of Jesus means choosing a different way of living in the world. One of those ways is to move and live at the pace of prayer. As we build rhythms that are slow, intentional, and unhurried, we begin to stay connected to Jesus, aware of His presence, and aligned with what He is doing in our lives. The pace of prayer helps shapes who we become and how we experience God.

In this message, Pastor Kevin shares how faith grows when we release control and learn to trust God in every season. God is inviting us to rediscover who He really is, the God of the impossible, not limited by our understanding or circumstances. As we encounter Him, our response is not to control or figure everything out, but to repent, trust, and step into a deeper relationship with Him. What feels impossible may actually be an invitation to let go, trust God more fully, and believe that nothing is too wonderful for Him.
