Pastor John Swadley | Hebrews 12:1–2

Life is a race, but we don’t run it alone! In this encouraging message from Hebrews 12:1–2, Pastor John Swadley reminds us that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who have finished their race and are cheering us on. From loved ones who have gone before us to the heroes of faith, heaven holds an incredible reunion. But the greatest reward isn’t who we’ll see in heaven. It’s Jesus Himself! Discover how to run life’s race with perseverance, leave behind what holds you back, and keep your eyes fixed on Christ, our ultimate source of living hope.

John Swadley | John 5:1-9

What do you do when you’ve been praying, waiting, and nothing seems to change? In this message from John 5:1–9, we meet a man who had been waiting for healing for 38 years before encountering Jesus. His story reminds us that God hasn’t forgotten us in the waiting. We’re challenged to bring our hidden hurts to Him, stop settling for less than His best, shift our focus from our problems to God, and be ready to obey when He tells us to get up and move forward.

John Swadley | Romans 4:18-21

What does hope look like when everything seems impossible? In this message from Romans 4:18–21, we look at Abraham’s example of trusting God even when circumstances gave him every reason to give up. Biblical hope isn’t wishful thinking. It’s confidence rooted in the promises and faithfulness of God. Learn how to hear God’s promises, make them your own, persevere in prayer, and continue praising Him while you wait.
