4 days ago
It’s easy to write people off when they wander. We assume they’re too far gone, too broken, or simply not worth the effort. But Jesus tells a different story. In this tender and powerful message from Luke 15, Stephen Bean reminds us that the heart of the Father is not one of abandonment—but of pursuit.
God doesn’t sit back and wait for us to find our way home. He comes after us. He lifts us onto His shoulders. He celebrates our return. Whether you feel like the one who’s wandered or the one watching others go astray, this sermon is an invitation to rediscover the relentless love of the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the one.

Wearing God's Armor into Battle
Sunday Jun 01, 2025
Sunday Jun 01, 2025
The Christian life is not a playground—it’s a battlefield. But we don’t fight alone or unarmed. In this final message from Ephesians, Pastor Steve unpacks the armor God gives His people—armor not fashioned by human hands, but forged in heaven.
When the spiritual war around us intensifies, we don’t need to panic. We need to stand. Clothed in truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word, we’re not just protected—we’re empowered. And with prayer as our strategy, we move forward in strength not our own.
This sermon is for the weary, the worn out, and the ones wondering if they’ve got anything left. The answer is yes—because He is enough. Put on the armor. Step into the fight. You are not alone.

Spirit-Filled Marriage | Ephesians 5:21-33
Sunday May 11, 2025
Sunday May 11, 2025
Marriage is more than a contract—it’s a covenant meant to reflect the love of Christ. But how do imperfect people live out something so sacred? This message from Ephesians 5:21–33 gives us the answer: not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper.
A spirit-filled marriage doesn’t begin with effort—it begins with surrender to God. From that spring flows mutual submission, humble leadership, and sacrificial love. This isn’t about roles that crush; it’s about grace that lifts.
Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, this message will point you beyond stereotypes and expectations to the stunning picture of Christ and His Church.

This message is a wake-up call, not out of guilt, but out of grace. If you’re longing for something real, something vibrant, this is your invitation: Be filled. Be renewed. Walk in the Spirit.

Sunday Apr 27, 2025
So many people walk through life half-awake—lulled by the comforts and distractions of a dark world. But Ephesians 5 sounds an urgent alarm: Wake up. Rise up. Christ will shine on you.
In this powerful message, we’re reminded that living for Christ isn’t about striving to create light in ourselves—it’s about turning toward the Light that has already come. Steve McKenzie calls us to stop settling for the shadows and to live as children of light, reflecting God’s goodness, righteousness, and truth in a world desperate for hope.
If you’ve been feeling spiritually sleepy or stuck, this sermon is a call to return, to turn your heart fully toward Jesus—and to shine.

Come & See | Resurrection Sunday
Sunday Apr 20, 2025
Sunday Apr 20, 2025
Easter is more than a celebration—it’s an invitation. The angel’s words at the empty tomb still echo through history: “Come and see.”
In this Resurrection Sunday message, we journey to the garden near Golgotha where the world changed forever. This isn’t just a story of an empty tomb—it’s the historic, undeniable reality of a risen Savior. The first witnesses weren’t the powerful, but the grieving. The first proclamation wasn’t about religion, but resurrection.
Through eyewitness testimony, transformed lives, and unshakable hope, we’re invited to come and see—not just with our eyes, but with our hearts. Jesus is alive. And if that’s true, then everything changes.
So come with your questions. Come with your fear. Come and see the Savior who conquered the grave—for you.

More Than A Parade | Palm Sunday
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
Palm Sunday was never meant to be just a spectacle—it was a moment of sacred significance, misunderstood by many yet overflowing with meaning for those who truly saw. In this message, we step into the crowd and experience the scene through fresh eyes. Some came to worship. Others came with expectations. Many stood uncertain. And yet Jesus came for all of them.
This sermon invites us to look beyond the noise and truly see Jesus—not just as a teacher or a political hope, but as the Divine, Prophesied, Gentle, Peaceful, and Saving King. He rode into Jerusalem not to be crowned by man, but to lay down His life for the world. The question the crowd asked then still echoes today: Who is this man?
Let the answer lead you from observation to adoration, from the crowd to the cross.

New Life, New Ways | Ephesians 4:17-32

Monday Apr 07, 2025
What if the Christian life isn’t about trying harder—but about living like someone who’s already been raised from the dead? In Ephesians 4:17–32, we’re reminded that following Jesus means we’ve been brought from death to life. The call is not to improve our old life, but to take it off—like filthy grave clothes that no longer fit.
In this message, Stephen Bean walks us through a transformative call to put off falsehood, selfishness, and bitterness—and to put on truth, generosity, and grace. With powerful imagery and heart-level honesty, we’re invited to stop pretending, to be known, and to live as people made new. This isn’t behavior modification. It’s resurrection living.
