Faith is essential to spiritual growth, and without it, we cannot please God. In this message, Paul Volbretch teaches from Hebrews 11 and James 2, showing how faith is built through our trust in God, our obedience, and even through seasons of testing. Biblical faith is more than belief—it is confidence that leads to action.

As we continue our Leveling Up series, we are reminded that faith grows when it is exercised, empowered by God’s grace, and strengthened by the help of the Holy Spirit. Join us as we explore how living faith transforms our walk with Christ.

As one year closes and another begins, many of us carry hopes that have been delayed, disappointed, or even lost. Scripture reminds us that true hope is not temporary or fragile—it is living and secure. Through God’s great mercy, we are born again to a living hope made certain by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This week, Pastor Greg shares a message of encouragement, pointing us back to the only hope that does not fail. When our faith and hope are placed in God, we discover an inheritance that is eternal, unfading, and kept for us in heaven.

The Christmas story reminds us that God often works through discouragement, discomfort, and unexpected journeys. From a long road to Bethlehem to a manger with no room in the inn, God used hardship to bring about His greatest gift. This week, Pastor Greg shares how God uses our discouragements for His glory, calls us to keep moving forward in faith, and reminds us that we are citizens of heaven—not fully at home in this world.

If you’ve felt weary, out of place, or discouraged this season, be encouraged: God has a journey for you, a purpose for your pain, and a place prepared by Him.

The first Christmas was filled with unexpected interruptions, deep disappointments, and moments that required great trust. Through the stories of Mary and Joseph, we see that what feels like disruption can become an opportunity for worship, faith, and encouragement. This week, Pastor Greg reminds us that disappointment is not the end of the story—God is still working, often in ways far bigger than we can imagine.

If you’re facing discouragement this season, be encouraged: God can use every interruption to accomplish His purposes and bring hope to others through you.

Psalm 133 celebrates the beauty of God’s people living and worshiping together in unity—like precious oil that brings anointing, refreshing, and blessing. Psalm 134 then calls us to lift our hands, bless the Lord, and experience His blessing in return. This week, Pastor Greg shares how true Christian community—fellowship, participation, encouragement, and shared worship—binds us together and strengthens us for the journey.

We are not meant to walk alone. When we gather as the family of God, we declare that both God and people matter to us, and we open our lives to His presence and His blessing. Join us as we explore the joy and power of worshiping together in unity.

Psalm 100 calls us to come before the Lord with joy, gladness, and singing—because worship is our response to God’s goodness, mercy, and unfailing faithfulness. This Sunday, Pastor Greg shares a message on the heart of true worship: entering God’s presence with thanksgiving and remembering that we belong to Him, the One who made us and shepherds us. When we gather, we don’t just attend—we come ready to praise.

This week Pastor Greg teaches from Psalm 131, a brief but profound picture of a heart at rest in God. True contentment begins with humility—refusing pride, self-importance, and the urge to control what belongs to God alone. Like a weaned child resting securely with its mother, the psalmist describes a soul calmed and quieted through trusting the Lord.

Contentment must be learned, but in Christ it becomes possible: He is our strength in every circumstance, our satisfaction beyond possessions, and our rest when life feels heavy. As we humble ourselves, quiet our souls before Him, and place our hope fully in the Lord, we discover peace, joy, and the steady hope that only He can give—from this time forth and forevermore.

Pastor Greg turns to Psalm 130, where the psalmist cries “from the depths”—a place of trouble, adversity, and spiritual distance. Yet even there, God hears. Though none of us could stand if the Lord kept a record of our sins, He offers full and final forgiveness. In Christ, the accusations of self-condemnation fall silent, for God remembers our sins no more and removes them as far as east from west.

Hope rises as we wait on the Lord with expectant trust, knowing the enemy seeks to steal what God freely gives. But in His steadfast love, the Lord offers abundant redemption—a ransom paid in full through Jesus. Forgiveness leads to freedom, and freedom leads us back to the God who redeems His people from all their iniquities.

Pastor Greg continues his sermon in Psalm 128. True blessing flows from walking in the fear of the Lord and following His ways. When God is the builder and center, work becomes fruitful, homes overflow with joy, and generations are shaped by His goodness. Those who honor the Lord will see His favor extend from the table to the city—bringing peace, provision, and a lasting legacy.

Read More

All our striving, planning, and building amount to nothing if God is not at the center. True success and lasting security come only when the Lord builds the house and guards the city. Our anxious toil is replaced with rest when we trust Him to do the work. What God builds endures—and what He blesses overflows from one generation to the next.

Psalm 129 reminds us that though we may be afflicted, we are not consumed. The enemy may press, persecute, and try to hold us down, but the Lord is righteous—and He cuts the cords of oppression. In Christ, we are called to live in freedom, not bondage. Even when struck down, we rise again through His strength. Join us as we continue our Psalms of Ascent series and celebrate the victory we have in Jesus.

Pastor Timothy Brock, Senior Pastor of Faith Community Church, reminds us that revival begins when the Word of God moves from our heads to our hearts and out through our hands. True repentance changes everything—our minds, our desires, and our direction. When Jonah finally obeyed God, his simple message shook an entire city. The people of Nineveh turned from their sin, and God turned from His wrath. That’s the power of genuine repentance and a merciful God. Come hear how God can bring awakening in our lives, our homes, and our nation when His people humble themselves and turn back to Him. 📖 Jonah 3:4–10 🙌 Sovereign Awakening #SovereignAwakening #RevivalStartsHere #Jonah3 #Repentance #OsoCreekChurch

Life can feel overwhelming when we face ridicule, scorn, or the weight of uncertainty. Psalm 123 reminds us to lift our eyes to the Lord, the One enthroned in the heavens, who never abandons His people. When we look to Him, we find mercy, direction, and the favor of God that shields and sustains us.

Join us as we dive into this powerful passage and learn what it means to keep our eyes locked on Jesus, to live in the favor of God, and to trust His promise that He will never leave nor forsake us.

“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’” – Psalm 122:1 Life isn’t always easy—we know the pain of distress (Psalm 120) and the need for help (Psalm 121). But this week, Pastor Greg dives into Psalm 122 and reminds us that gathering in God’s house brings joy, peace, and strength for the journey. When we worship together, we’re reminded that God is with us, for us, and keeping us every step of the way. So come with gladness in your heart! Come ready to worship, pray, and hear God’s Word. There’s nothing like being together in the Lord’s presence.

When life hurts, God can turn mourning into dancing, tears into joy, and despair into peace. He is our Keeper, our Protector, and our ever-present help in times of trouble.

Ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy—and all ten were healed. Yet only one broke ranks, returned, and fell at the feet of Christ with gratitude. In this message, BSM Pastor Cody explores what it means to live with a heart that doesn’t just go along with the crowd but chooses thankfulness, worship, and faith in Jesus.

Sometimes following Jesus means breaking ranks—stepping away from the majority and standing out as one who remembers the Giver, not just the gift.

The Christian life is a journey of perseverance. Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:9–10 not to grow weary in doing good, because in God’s perfect timing, we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.

In this message, Pastor Greg unpacks what it means to “keep on keeping on” in every area of life:

Parenting with faith and consistency.

Marriage built on sacrificial love.

Purity in a world of compromise.

Loving and serving others as Christ loved us.

Standing firm against spiritual attack.

Staying the course on this lifelong journey of faith.

Jesus didn’t give up on us—and as His disciples, we’re called to run with endurance, trusting that our labor in the Lord is never in vain.

In Mark 10:13-16, we see a powerful picture of Jesus’ heart toward children and the lessons He teaches us through them. The disciples viewed children as unimportant and without value, while today’s culture often treats children as problems rather than blessings. Yet, Jesus shows us something different—He loves children deeply, welcomes them, and even uses them as a model for faith.

Children naturally receive Him, trust their parents and grandparents, accept gifts with joy, and display a simple, pure faith that we as adults often lose. Jesus reminds us that to enter the kingdom of God, we must become like children—growing in trust, dependence, forgiveness, and love. As parents, leaders, and believers, we are called to bless our kids, pray over them, and guide them in their walk with the Lord.

Join us as we explore what it means to have childlike faith and why becoming “like a child” is vital to following Jesus.
