Not. A. Fan.
Are you following Jesus… or just cheering from the crowd?

In this message, Pastor Eric Madden delivers a direct, uncompromising call to real discipleship. Jesus never invited people to be fans. He called them to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him.

This sermon confronts:
• Comfortable Christianity
• Casual church attendance
• Belief without obedience
• Faith without repentance

Using Scripture from Luke 9, Luke 14, John 6, and the Gospels, this message draws a hard line between spectators and disciples.

Outpost Church exists to make disciples, not entertain crowds. This word is for anyone who feels the tension between knowing Jesus and actually following Him with their whole life.

If you’re tired of shallow faith and ready for truth that costs something, this message is for you.

Disciples. Not spectators.

What does it actually mean to follow Jesus?

Not admire Him.
Not quote Him.
Not believe facts about Him.

But to be like Him.

In this sermon, we confront a version of Christianity that wants forgiveness without transformation and belief without obedience. Jesus did not call people to add Him to their lives—He called them to be conformed to His image.

This message calls believers to die to self, kill sin, walk in holiness, and submit every part of life to Christ. Grace is not permission to stay the same—it is the power to be transformed.

If you are tired of comfortable faith and ready to pursue Christlikeness with your whole life, this message is for you.

2026: The Year of Death | A Call to Die to Comfort and Live in Truth

What if the greatest threat to the Church isn’t persecution but comfort?

In this message, we confront a form of Christianity that avoids repentance, minimizes obedience, and makes peace with sin. Jesus didn’t call us to add Him to our lives He called us to die to ourselves.

This message calls believers to:
• Die to the comfort of sin
• Die to consumer Christianity
• Die to self
• Stand unapologetically on truth and grace
• Commit fully to the Church and the work of making disciples

2026 must not be another year of shallow faith.
It must be the year of death that leads to real life.

Scripture is clear: resurrection only comes after the cross.

If you’re tired of soft faith and ready for biblical discipleship, this message is for you.

Division is one of the enemy’s oldest tricks. It starts small hurt feelings, quiet judgments, subtle comparisons but it can weaken a family, a church, and even a community if left unchecked.

In this powerful message, Pastor Eric unpacks 1 Corinthians 1:10 and shows why unity isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the very oxygen of revival.

In this sermon you’ll learn:

• ​ Why division drains the power of the church
• ​ How unity is a daily choice, not a passing feeling
• ​ The way division gives the enemy a foothold—and how to shut the door

The cross is where every dividing line goes to die.

Whether you’re part of a church, a family, or just trying to follow Jesus in a divided world, this message will challenge you to forgive, to build bridges, and to live as One in Christ.

Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NLT)

"Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose."

Don’t just watch…lean in. Take notes. Pray for unity in your home, your relationships, and our church.

Let’s be a people the enemy can’t divide and the world can’t ignore.
