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.

What does it really look like to grow into leadership? In this episode, Mike and Tabi Oaks share their journey, how God shaped them over time, stretched their capacity, and formed their character along the way. Through honest stories and practical insight, they unpack the lessons they've learned about humility, faithfulness, and trusting God in every season. This conversation will encourage you to embrace your process, stay planted where God has you, and step confidently into the leadership He's calling you to.

In Genesis 46, God reveals His perfect plan to establish His people by bringing them down to Egypt. God's perfect plan often runs counter to human reasoning. Pastor Kevin reminds us that we can find hope in any circumstance that feels like an "Egypt," because God strengthens us in our weakness. We are not formed by the plans we fully understand, but by His nearness in every circumstance. Through every trial, He gives us faith to keep walking and is continually shaping us into His image.

"Direction for the Journey," with Mike Oaks, explores navigating life's challenges and transitions through faith, community, and obedience to God. It highlights how acting on faith, leaning on others, and staying rooted in our identity in Christ can strengthen us during times of doubt, unlock divine provision, and empower us to fulfill our purpose.

At this month's Allin we explore Exodus 14 and the powerful moment where God places the Israelites exactly where they need to be for deliverance, even when fear makes it hard to see. Though they were surrounded and uncertain, God was not absent. He had them in perfect position. This message reminds us that God often works in ways that challenge our perspective, inviting us to trust His mighty power beyond our limitations. More than an individual call, this is a collective one, an invitation to move from fear to faith, and to step deeper together into what God is doing.

In this Leadership Lesson, we sit down with Tameeka for an honest and powerful conversation uncovering The Heart of Worship. Through a panel-style discussion, Tameeka shares her personal journey and the daily posture of worship that has shaped both her life and calling. This conversation goes beyond music and moments, it's about surrender, obedience, and leading from a place of authenticity. Whether you're serving, leading, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to rediscover what true worship looks like from the inside out.

This week, Brittany teaches on "The Honest Truth" — how cultural politeness and religious language often keep us from being real with God in prayer. Through stories, Scripture, and raw honesty, she shows how honest prayer is where God meets us with truth, freedom, peace, healing, and surrender. If you've ever felt like your prayers sound right but don't feel real, this message is for you.

In this message, Pastor Kevin Myers explores Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened, asking us to honestly consider where our souls are tired. Through Matthew 11 and 12, he reveals how religious systems and human striving can leave us exhausted instead of free. He points us back to Jesus as the only true way to know God. The message calls us to lay down our old ways and come to Christ for real and lasting rest.

In today's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Kevin walks through Matthew 5:43–48 and Jesus' challenging call to love our enemies. We explore how cultural interpretations can quietly reshape our faith and how Jesus brings clarity, not minimal obedience but sacrificial love. Through Scripture, honest reflection, and vivid imagery, this message invites us to examine our hearts, pray for those we resist, and learn what it truly means to live as children of our Father. A timely conversation for navigating faith, relationships, and discipleship in today's world.

In this special Sunday encouragement, Pastor Kevin walks us through Genesis 33:18–20 and the story of Jacob, a life marked by fear, striving, and wrestling with God, yet ultimately transformed by His faithfulness. What begins as a cyclical pattern of fear becomes a testimony of grace when Jacob stops running, faces what he's afraid of, and builds an altar of remembrance.

In this message, Pastor Kevin challenges us to see reality through Jesus' eyes, not the world's. Using Luke 18, he shows how the kingdom belongs to those who come with humility, dependence, and trust like a child. When we let go of pride, control, and false realities, God defines our identity and opens the door to heaven's reality.

In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey dives into Proverbs 30 to reveal how God's wisdom transforms the way we see strength, stability, and success. Using the example of the "rock badger," he shows that where we choose to dwell—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—shapes our lives and decisions. Pastor Josh challenges us to stop relying on worldly measures like visibility, performance, and comparison, and instead to rest in Christ, the true Rock, where insight, perspective, and life-transforming wisdom are found.

Moments in God's presence don't just comfort us- they give us momentum for the seasons ahead. When we intentionally steward time with Him, His presence begins to guide us, shape us, and propel us forward. What if the Holy Spirit is using your current test as a place of promotion? In His presence, we learn to discern His leading, gain clarity for what's next, and walk with confidence into what He's preparing.

Pastor Mark Kelsey reminds us in this Leadership Lessons episode what reconciliation, unity, and authentic discipleship within the Church truly look like. Walking through Ephesians, he presents God's blueprint for the Body of Christ, calling leaders to model reconciliation through the cross, pursue unity with intentionality, and resist inspiration without transformation. This conversation challenges the Church to develop people deeply, submitting to Christ as the Head and becoming a reconciled, unified, and fully equipped Body reflecting God's presence and power on the earth.

Matthew 6:9-13. Prayer isn't a lucky poem or a magic formula. It's a pattern, a rhythm, a posture. The Lord's Prayer doesn't twist God's arm, it aligns our soul. In a world constantly knocking us out of alignment, Jesus gives us a way to stand humbly before God, ready to be lifted by His mighty hand. A message from our friend, Pastor Dan Lian.

Pastor James Powell brings a powerful message from John 10 and Psalm 23, reminding us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads, provides, and corrects out of love—not based on our performance, but on what He has done. This message reframes conviction as kindness, inviting us into deeper trust, humility, and gratitude as we learn to follow the Shepherd's voice and rest in His unchanging care.

Pastor James Powell from The House Vegas reminds us of Paul's instruction in Philippians 3:13. It comes from a place of lived experience, not theory. Writing from prison, Paul reflects on a life marked by both great success and deep failure. Rather than allowing either to define him, he makes a conscious decision to forget what is behind him so he can faithfully pursue what God has ahead. Selective amnesia is the discipline of releasing what no longer has authority so we can walk fully in God's purpose.

Luke 2:8–16. In the Christmas story, God announces the arrival of Jesus not to the elite, but to shepherds, outsiders who lived nearby, but not in. Through them, we see the heart of God: good news for all people, especially those who feel forgotten, labeled, or pushed to the margins. This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski shows us how Jesus enters the darkness, meets us on the outside, and invites us in. When we behold Christ, the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd, our true identity is restored, our labels are broken, and our souls discover their worth in Him.

Luke 2:8–20. Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us that joy is not superficial or fleeting, it's rooted in grace. As we close out 2025, this message points us to the unlikely joy announced to shepherds: good news for all people. In a city and a world searching for fulfillment, Jesus comes as Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering deep, lasting joy that isn't shaped by circumstances.

In todays Leadership Lesson, Mike Oaks teaches about the furnished room of the Shunammite woman becomes a picture of the heart. The bed calls us to rest and healing, the chair establishes God's authority, the table invites fellowship and formation, the lamp brings light and discernment, and the walls remind us this dwelling is permanent, not seasonal. As we intentionally furnish the heart, we become a place where God rests, leads, and works through us.

Matthew 1:23, John 1:14, Genesis 1:1–2. This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski reveals the everlasting with‑ness of a God who moves first. From creation to Christ to this very moment, God's defining nature is nearness. When shame isolates, suffering overwhelms, or faith feels fragile, Immanuel steps toward us. God is not distant, He is with you, present in every season, bearing every pain, and restoring what was broken.

Matthew 1:18–25. This Sunday, Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us the war over sin is already won. When fear rises and battles feel overwhelming, Jesus enters as Immanuel, God with us. Now, the battle is for our faith. In every struggle, God is not distant. He's present, powerful, and fighting for you.

From creation to incarnation to resurrection, Scripture shows one pattern: God expands life through pressure. Pressure isn't punishment, it's the environment where roots deepen, clarity forms, and new creation emerges. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Kevin Myers teaches how the circular patterns of creation, the birth and life of Jesus, and the grain-of-wheat principle reveal the same truth: leaders grow through resistance. As we remain in God, pressure becomes formation, constriction becomes fruitfulness, and what feels tight becomes the very space where His kingdom breaks through.

Isaiah 40:28–31. When exhaustion twists our view of God, the storm feels final, our limits feel fatal, and hope feels out of reach. But Scripture shows a different story: God doesn't answer weariness with sentiment, He answers it with revelation, exchange, and Spirit-given endurance. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey walks us through soaring, running, and walking as Isaiah reveals them not as metaphors for self-effort, but as pictures of what happens when we braid our lives into God's strength. In the storm, grace lifts us. In the race, purpose steadies us. In the ordinary, Jesus Himself becomes our strength.

Psalm 92:12; Romans 1:16–17. The righteous don't just survive the heat and storms of life they flourish like palm trees, rooted in Christ, growing deeper in devotion, stronger under pressure, and more fruitful with time as they become shade, strength, and legacy for others. In this week's ALLIN, Pastor Josh Kelsey calls Fount to remember who we are in Christ. Unashamed of the gospel, planted in God's house and maturing into a true house of prayer so that our lives grow beyond sand-level faith into living water, lasting usefulness, and a multi-generational harvest in the middle of New York City.

Nehemiah 1–6. Exceptional leadership is shaped by prayer, tested under pressure, and strengthened through clarity and focus. God forms leaders who don't settle for being the exception, but rise into the standard He sets. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor James Powell shows us how Nehemiah exposes the traps of trophies, trauma, and track record and how exceptional leaders pursue God, rise above reality, and finish with focus so the vision stands firm.

John 1:1–18. To finish strong, we return to the beginning. John reveals Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh and gives a new identity to all who receive Him. This Sunday, Pastor Kevin Myers teaches how receiving Jesus makes us full (grace upon grace), makes us His (children of God), and makes us new (born of the Spirit). Kingdom life doesn't start with effort it starts with receiving the One who restores our vision, our identity, and our way of living.

Daniel 3:16–18, Proverbs 4:23. True strength begins with surrender. In a culture that bows to pressure and fear, the furnace becomes the place where trust is exposed, idols lose their grip, and bondage burns off. This Sunday, Pastor James Powell unpacks how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego show us "even if" faith the kind that guards the heart, resists cultural idolatry, and reveals Jesus in the very fire meant to break us.

1 Corinthians 9:10. God calls His people to excel in the grace of giving. Generosity isn't a financial strategy; it's a formation. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals a pattern: He is first, and His people flourish when their lives reflect His order. This Sunday, Pastor Steve Kelly unpacks how the cross reframes Passover, Sabbath, adultery, and honoring parents and how tithing stands as a principle that passes through the cross unchanged in purpose but deepened in motive. From first-fruits to faithfulness, this message shows how God forms a generous people who carry His heart, His priority, and His mission into the world.

Ephesians 4:11–16. Maturity in Christ is formed through devotion, tested in hidden seasons, and strengthened in community. God grows us so we no longer live confused or immature, but steady, clear, and whole. In this weeks Leadership Lessons Pastor Kevin Myers teaches how maturity refines the heart, restores our view of God and trains us to fight the right battles.
