Too Good To Miss, Part 4: Don't Miss Great // Andy Stanley
Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.
Too Good To Miss, Part 3: Family // Andy Stanley
Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God’s “ideal.”
Too Good To Miss, Part 2: Jesus // Andy Stanley
People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it’s usually for an unnecessary reason.
Too Good To Miss, Part 1: Future Proof // Andy Stanley
We don’t miss out in life because opportunities aren’t there—we miss out because we let deception, distraction, or disobedience rob us of them.
Three Reasons // Andy Stanley
Life is better connected—because spiritual growth, care, and accountability happen in relationships, not in rows.
My Story, My Song, Part 6: Taste and See // April Farmer
Worship isn't just for the mountaintop—it's a lifeline in the valley. Even in your most painful, confusing moments, you can choose to praise God and experience his goodness.
My Story, My Song, Part 5: Oceans, No Longer Slaves, and I Speak Jesus // Holly Goddard, Tann Smith, Mark and Clarissa Gibson
Our stories of struggle, loss, and redemption are powerful reminders that God never leaves us alone. Today features stories of three of our worship leaders: Tann, Mark, and Clarissa.
My Story, My Song, Part 4: Spirit of God // Joel Thomas
If you’re curious, cautious, or somewhere in between, the Spirit invites you to lean in, let go, and be led.
My Story, My Song, Part 3: Battle Belongs // Andy Stanley
When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.
My Story, My Song, Part 2: God Is Love // Andy Stanley
Whatever picture we have of God isn’t enough.
My Story, My Song, Part 1: Bigger Than I Thought // Andy Stanley
When we see God for who he is, we’re able to trust him even deeper.
Challenge Accepted, Part 3: Depending // Joel Thomas
Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.
Challenge Accepted, Part 2: In & Around // Joel Thomas
During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.
Challenge Accepted, Part 1: Choosing Hard // Joel Thomas
The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.
Ultimate Survivor // Clay Cooney
Jesus didn’t come to help us win at survival. He came to show us how to surrender so we could truly live.
When GOOD Becomes god, Part 2: Order of Operations // Samer Massad
The problem isn’t what we love, it’s the order in which we love. Disordered love leads to disordered desires—and ultimately a disordered life.
When GOOD Becomes god, Part 1: Idol Factory // Samer Massad
All of us are tempted to take “good things” and worship them as the “ultimate things” that shape our purpose and identity.
Grace & Truth: The Beach Version // Andy Stanley
God doesn’t size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.
Easter 2025 - Thomas // Andy Stanley
The resurrection isn’t just a story—it’s the event that launched a movement and changed everything. If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future. In this Easter message, we talk about this event, why we celebrate it, and why it is the anchor for everything we believe.
Death Of A King // Andy Stanley
Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.
Death To The King // Andy Stanley
As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.
Take Aim // Joel Thomas
You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Without clear vision, you’ll drift into coasting, and coasting always takes you downhill.
Deeper Wider, Part 5: Just Because // Andy Stanley
Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance or our decision. It’s better to find out than miss out. Ready to engage in Deeper/Wider?

Deeper Wider, Part 4: Obstacles // Joel Thomas
All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn't found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.
Deeper Wider, Part 3: The Plan // Andy Stanley
Everyone has a generosity plan, but most people prioritize spending first and leave giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “Seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.
Deeper Wider, Part 2: Defining Terms // Andy Stanley
Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.
Deeper Wider, Part 1: Everything // Andy Stanley
Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender the other components of their life as well. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.
The Last Kingdom, Part 5: Unstoppable // Andy Stanley
Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.
The Last Kingdom, Part 4: Fight Like the King // Andy Stanley
The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.
The Last Kingdom, Part 3: Beyond Pledging Allegiance // Joel Thomas
People all over the world claim to be Christian, based on a belief Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very king we swear allegiance to.
The Last Kingdom, Part 2: Reclaiming the Plotline // Andy Stanley
The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.
The Last Kingdom, Part 1: Lost in Translation // Andy Stanley
If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom is good news for all people.
Made for More // Andy Stanley
Just as the apostle Paul wrote to the Jesus followers in Ephesus, you were made for something more than yourself. You are God’s workmanship, and you’ve got something to offer God’s Kingdom.
Christmas Celebration // Andy Stanley
Sinners Like Me, Part 3: Misfits & Embarrassments // Andy Stanley
The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot’s daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God’s purposes marched forward.
Sinners Like Me, Part 2: Party Crasher // Andy Stanley
Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn’t Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.
Sinners Like Me, Part 1: The Back Story // Andy Stanley
The story of Judah and Tamar is probably not one we would have mentioned if we were the ones telling the back story of Jesus’s ancestors. However, many times God’s story highlights the unlikely and the undeserving.
The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 3: Planting Seeds // Joel Thomas
We have the power to influence the posture of our heart — but how?
The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 2: Unforgiving Servant // Joel Thomas
Our capacity to forgive is flow from what we’ve been forgiven. So, how much forgiveness is enough?
The Power of a Made Up Story, Part 1: Lost Things // Joel Thomas
Jesus uses the parables of Lost Things to demonstrate His love for us.
Miracles: Then & Now, Part 4: In the Zone // Andy Stanley
While we can't predict when miracles happen, there is a posture we can take that increases the chances of God doing a supernatural work within us.
Miracles: Then & Now, Part 3: Don't Lost Hope // Joel Thomas
Our circumstances don’t define how God feels about us. So how do we navigate those circumstances when we don’t get the miracle?
Miracles: Then & Now, Part 2: Mystery and Inconsistency // Andy Stanley
Miracles are at God’s discretion to further God’s purposes.
Miracles: Then & Now, Part 1: Who Needs 'Em // Andy Stanley
The miracle of the universe is the foundation of our faith in God, but a different miracle is the foundation of our faith in Jesus.
Be Rich: Uncomfortably Close // Andy Stanley
Serving people with different lived experiences is one of the primary things God uses to fine-tune our worldview.
Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 3: Connection // Joel Thomas
We all fall short sometimes. How we respond to temptations and frustrations can affect our well-being and relationships. What would happen if we brought our struggles into the light and invited others in?
Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 2: Alignment // Joel Thomas
Everyone has a worldview. It governs your beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. You owe it to yourself to be honest about your source of truth because that will ultimately govern your life.
Heaven, Hell, & Everything In Between, Part 1: Reality // Joel Thomas
What’s really going on in the world? The reality is that something is governing your life — and it’s not you.
Be Rich: Making History // Andy Stanley
Since 2007, our Be Rich campaign has been making the world an even better place. After all, devotion to God is best demonstrated and authenticated through love for others.
The Responsibles, Part 4: The Me You Can't See // Andy Stanley
We must take responsibility for the me nobody can see.
