In this opening message of The Naked Truth series, we begin an honest and biblical conversation about marriage, intimacy, and covenant. Responding to a submitted question—“Do we have to be legally married to walk with God?”—this sermon explores the deeper spiritual implications of cohabitation and God’s design for marriage.

We examine why cohabitation hinders spiritual alignment, not as a matter of legalism, but because it attempts to enjoy the fruit of marriage without the foundation of covenant. Through Scripture, we contrast a contract, built on self-protection and performance, with a covenant, rooted in self-sacrifice, trust, and lifelong faithfulness before God.

This message unpacks:

• How purity impacts spiritual clarity and intimacy with God

• Why biblical marriage is a covenant, not a transaction

• The spiritual significance of intimacy and “one flesh”

• How covenant reflects the Kingdom of God, while contract reflects the world

Whether you’re married, single, cohabiting, or wrestling with questions about commitment and obedience, this message invites you to examine areas of “contract living” and calls believers back into full alignment with God’s covenantal design.

In the final message of our Christmas series, Unwrapping Christmas, we turn our attention to heaven’s response to the birth of Jesus. The angels declared, “Glory to God in the highest!” — a powerful reminder that the only reasonable response to God’s promise, plan, and presence is worship.

In this episode, we explore how true worship flows from personal encounter with a God who is near, merciful, and good. Worship is not a moment in a service or a musical expression — it is a lifestyle of gratitude, alignment, and awe. When we behold who God is and recognize His hand in every part of our lives, praise becomes our natural response.

Discover how worship shapes our perspective, draws us deeper into relationship with the Father, and anchors us through every season — mountains and valleys alike. Even when emotions falter or life feels overwhelming, worship reorients our hearts back to the truth: God is worthy, always.

Join us as we celebrate the Savior’s birth and embrace a life marked by continuous praise.

In this message, Pastor Josh continues our Unwrapping Christmas series by moving from the promise of God to our response to that promise. While last week reminded us that God always keeps His word, this sermon invites us to consider how God’s plans unfold through human surrender.

Before the manger, before the miracles, and before the angels filled the sky, there was a young woman named Mary—and a divine interruption. Through Luke 1, we see how God’s plan of salvation didn’t begin with human ability or understanding, but with a simple, costly, and faithful “yes.”

Pastor Josh explores how God’s plans often disrupt our own, why obedience unlocks divine purpose, and how God never calls us without empowering us through His presence. Mary’s response reveals a timeless truth: obedience often comes before understanding, and surrender always precedes breakthrough.

This message challenges us to make room for God’s interruptions, to trust His timing, and to say yes even when the path forward feels uncertain. Just as Mary’s obedience changed history, our surrendered yes may impact generations.

In this opening message of the Unwrapping Christmas series, The Promise invites us to see Christmas not as the beginning of God’s plan, but as the proof that He always had one. Journey through Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the manger in Bethlehem as we uncover God’s promise of a Savior—spoken in humanity’s darkest moment and fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.

Discover how God’s unchanging nature, perfect timing, and unfailing Word give us confidence in every season of life. When we fall short, His promises remain. When we wonder if He will come through, history reminds us that He always does. This message will encourage you to trust His timing, hide His promises in your heart, and rest in the faithfulness of a God who always keeps His word.

“The Gratitude Effect” dives into the surprising power of thankfulness to shift your mindset, deepen your relationships, and transform the way you navigate life. This episode unpacks practical habits, real stories, and spiritual insights that show how gratitude doesn’t just feel good—it changes everything.

In this message from our Let’s Talk About It series, we explore one of the most foundational questions of the Christian walk: What does obedience look like to God?

Scripture makes it clear that obedience is far more than rule-keeping—it is the loving response of a heart aligned with the Father. Through passages like John 14:15, 1 Samuel 15:22, and James 1:22, we learn that true obedience flows from relationship, trust, and wholehearted surrender.

This week in our Let’s Talk About It series, Pastor Josh Wood brings a powerful and down-to-earth message called “Pure Joy: No Additives Needed.”

Life has a way of throwing challenges, disappointments, and unexpected turns our way. Many of us find ourselves staring in the mirror wondering if this—this routine, this pressure, this version of ourselves—is really what we were created for. We chase happiness, but it slips through our fingers. We carry the weight of past words, past choices, and past failures… and joy often feels like the first thing to go.

But Scripture teaches us something radically different: joy isn’t an emotion, it’s a choice—rooted in God’s presence, fueled by His Spirit, strengthened through trials, anchored in salvation, and commanded as a way of life. Pure joy doesn’t come from what we accomplish, earn, fix, or collect. It comes from Him—and only Him.

God desires to be heard, but the noise of life competes for our attention. This episode invites you to quiet your soul and make room for His voice.
