All Access Prayer
October 30, 2018 15:49 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBYou and I have an all-access pass, an invitation into something so much larger and greater than ourselves and yet most of us overlook it every day. Our ability to communicate with God is something altogether mysterious, and magnificent, a gift that we hardly take advantage of; relegating it to a last resort or wishlist. — But what if we didn't. What if we treated prayer like what it really is? How would the world around us change if we opened up to our Heavenly Father, brought Him the prai...
The Chain of Fear
October 23, 2018 17:00 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB"Fear is faith in the Enemy" — In this message, Pastor Louie Giglio talks about possibly the most universal chain yet, the chain of fear. So many of us live bound up in this chain, allowing it to dictate how we spend our days. The truth is this if we are bound up in fear, we are not walking in the freedom that Jesus purchased for us at Calvary.
The Chain of Debt: Attacking Debt
October 16, 2018 15:00 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MB“God wants to cultivate in us a new mindset of stewardship instead of ownership.” — God wants us to live fearless and free, and one of those things is living free from debt. By shifting our mindset away from ownership of our finances, and towards the reality that God has entrusted us to be good stewards over it, we’ll begin to see Him working through our lives in ways we didn’t know was possible.

The Chain of Debt: Heads or Tails
October 09, 2018 15:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBGod desires for us to have margin in our lives financially so that we can live generously and leave a wake of generosity for others. — This week, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us of the difference between living at the forefront of God’s plans for us versus living reactionarily at the tail.
The Chain of Shame
October 02, 2018 14:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB“Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah 6:7 — What have you allowed to DEFINE you? Is it who God says that you are, or is it the memory, the guilt, or the shame of your past mistakes? Many of us walk around daily carrying the chain of shame, preventing us from walking in the freedom that was purchased for us at the Cross. But the pathway to freedom is open to all in the covering of Grace. After all, grace redefines us from failure to ...
The Chain of Bitterness
September 25, 2018 17:39 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBPastor Aaron Coe // Bitterness, comparison, envy; these chains are some of the most deadly that we can find ourselves bound up in. We feel as if we aren't good enough, and so we look at people who seemingly have it all and begin to resent both their gifting and our own, along with the God who gave out those giftings. — Pastor Aaron Coe wants us to realize the true danger of bitterness, that if we let it in, it will creep into the deepest parts of us and eat away at our soul. But there is g...
The Chain of Bitterness
September 25, 2018 15:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MBPastor Brad Jones // There are things that we have to walk away from in life. Chains that will bind us up despite the freedom given to us in Christ, and if we aren't willing to let them go, will keep us from living in the fullness of God's plan for our lives. — In this message, Pastor Brad Jones wants us to not only realize what chains of bitterness we are holding on to due to the actions of people, but the chains of bitterness are we holding in regards to our relationship with Go...
The Chain of Our Past
September 18, 2018 14:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MBTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 — For a lot of us, the thing that’s keeping us from living fearless and free is that we are chained to the past. The enemy will attempt to use the chain of our past to keep us from fully stepping into the freedom that Jesus is offering. In fact, our past is much more of a weapon to be used to tell the story of who Jesus is, than it is something that we should be ashamed to t...
The Chain of Doubt
September 11, 2018 15:00 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Jesus has come to set you free. — How many of us really are living in the truth? The truth that long before we were born our fight came to an end? Are we walking in the reality that Jesus won the war, that our chains are broken and dealt with, that we are truly free? — In the first message of our Chain Breaker series, Pastor Louie Giglio looks at the chain of Doubt and the One who is able to break this chain along with every other. Jesus.
No Substitute can Satisfy
August 21, 2018 20:17 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBGrant Partrick // Every one of us searching for what will satisfy us, that thing that will finally bring us to a place where we no longer thirst for more. The problem is that we are all looking in the wrong place. Broken cistern after broken cistern leads us to believe that we will never be content, that is until we meet Jesus. — The one who created us knows exactly what it takes to satisfy us, Himself.
White Noise
August 21, 2018 15:44 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBClay Scroggins // “The danger of noise is that if we continue to turn the noise up and run away from the things that we’re feeling, we’re actually avoiding dealing with the things that God may be intending for us to deal with.” — Such a powerful message from North Point Community Church Lead Pastor, Clay Scroggins. As we walk through our lives, how are we turning down the distractions in order to turn up God's intentions for our lives?
ABOVE + BEYOND
August 14, 2018 13:15 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBPastor Louie Giglio // “We have the power of life + death in our mouths today.” — On ABOVE + BEYOND Sunday, Pastor Louie cast vision for the future of our House and took us through the idea that our future is ultimately shaped by what we believe + humbly speak for our lives. This is a look at the BEYOND we believe God is calling our House towards.
A Message As Big As The World
August 08, 2018 21:15 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBPastor Louie Giglio // "You are not free floating and arbitrary but you are designed and destined by God." — We have a big purpose in life and no circumstance can thwart that! When our purpose is as big as wanting the world to know about Jesus...no cancer can stop that. Death can't stop that. No circumstance can stop that! Each of those things simply becomes a megaphone for helping us tell the story of Jesus to the world.
Flip the Script
July 30, 2018 21:15 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBPastor Louie Giglio // All of us are going to face difficulties. Situations that will push their way into our life + our dreams, disrupting our perfectly crafted plans. But here’s the truth. Come what may, we flip the script on those difficulties when we decide that everything can be used for the Glory of God, including our pain. It’s our scars that amplify our story of salvation.
All In
July 24, 2018 15:17 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBPastor Louie Giglio // "The unfinished work of the Church is to make sure everyone on Earth hears about the finished work of Jesus." — We are, by nature, consumers, not creators. Just look at the Pareto Principle; 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This means that even in the Church today, 80% of the work, 80% of the buy-in, 80% of the effort, is contributed by 20% of the people. This is not how the Church is supposed to function. — It's time for us to move towards the Pneum...
We are Making a Place for You
July 17, 2018 20:20 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Jesus is the ultimate place-maker. Through Him everything around us was created, and by His sacrifice, a place for us was made in His Father’s House. — As followers of Jesus, we are called to be place-makers in our own right. To set the table for the people of our city to sit at and experience all God has for them. This is how we step into a broken and wandering world, with open hands and a place made ready; but in order to do that, we will need to be willing to go a...
The Seismic Shift
July 09, 2018 22:12 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBWhen the Holy Spirit arrived in Acts 2, there was a seismic shift in the climate of the city. In our new series, POWER-FULL, Pastor Louie Giglio encourages us around what this could mean for our cities if we are open to being filled with the Holy Spirit. — Our cities are full of people searching for what is real, what will last, where they fit into the story that's unfolding around them. As Christians, we have been called into the ministry of reconciliation, being filled with the Holy Spir...
The Case for Christ
July 03, 2018 18:30 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBLee Strobel spent two years of his life studying, researching, learning everything he could in order to disprove the resurrection and deity of Christ. What he found instead changed his life forever. — This week, Lee Strobel takes us through the four main points he found that shifted his mind and heart about the truth surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.
This is how we fight
June 26, 2018 15:20 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBPastor Louie Giglio // “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 — We want to be men who contend for what matters most. However, most of us realize that we aren’t going to fulfill our God-designed destiny alone. That’s why we are inviting every man to join a Fight Club, a group of 3-5 men who meet together on a consistent basis to spur one another on as we fight in four arenas: 1. We want to fight for our walk with God. 2. We want to fight...
A Perfect Father
June 19, 2018 13:24 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBPastor Louie Giglio // “Your primary identity, men, is as a loved son living from approval, not as an unloved son living for approval.” — In this Fathers Day message, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds all of us that before we do anything for God, we have to know who we are in God; learning to be a BE an imitator of a God, walking in love and living a life of love knowing how much He gave himself as a sacrifice.
The Necessity of Being Settled Down & Filled Up
June 13, 2018 15:30 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MBPastor Ben Stuart // The people that are making the greatest difference in the world are the ones that have had a difference made inside of them. — Sometimes life gets hard. What’s left to catch us when the bottom falls out from under us? This week, Pastor Ben Stuart talks about the importance of letting Jesus dwell in all areas of our lives. — When Christ is able to enter all areas of our heart, we become rooted and grounded in love. It is here that our lives begin to look different. Someti...
A Man After God's Own Heart
June 13, 2018 03:01 - 48 minutes - 44 MBPastor Louie Giglio // The fight is real. This Sunday's message is the kickoff of a new series called, Fight Club. Men, it's time to contend for what matters most...our faith, our families, our character, our brothers.
Nowhere to Go but Up
June 06, 2018 15:06 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBLevi Lusko // "In the year King Uzziah died..." 52 years of strength were gone in an instant, and with their enemies gathering strength the People of God looked in the only direction they could... up. The link between tribulation and revelation is so powerful because it tells us that on our darkest day God is up to something; and when we walk through trials here on Earth, the power of our praise is that it lifts our eyes in the same direction...up.
From Hostility to Family
June 03, 2018 14:30 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBPastor Ben Stuart // In a day and age where there seems to be rapid growth in hostility between people groups, God is calling us back into the family. — This week Pastor Ben Stuart encourages us in a message about unity. In a breakdown of Ephesians Chapter 2, we find that the grounds for unity is humility, and the goal of unity is Glory. When we love each other with a contributing spirit instead of a critical one, Jesus gets the glory!
DEATH --- LIFE
May 31, 2018 15:00 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MBPastor Ben Stuart // “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 — New identities bring new activities. When we accept the gift of grace and are raised with Christ, our lives begin to take on new activities. It is not because of our actions we are saved. Ra...
Colossians: The Supremacy and Sufficiency of Christ
May 29, 2018 17:22 - 53 minutes - 49 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Written with the single purpose to display the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus, the book of Colossians answers the two questions every person asks: Who am I? Why am I here? This week, Pastor Louie Giglio takes us through the book of Colossians to find the answers to these questions; the answers to which determine the direction and quality of all of our lives.
Knowing Him = Knowing Me
May 24, 2018 20:30 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MBPastor Ben Stuart // The best change is not a change in circumstances but a change in perspective. — In week two of our Worthy series, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through the second half of Ephesians 1. Here, Paul prays for the Church in Ephesus with a notable approach. Paul doesn’t ask God to do something new for His people. Instead, he asks that our eyes be opened to the beauty of who God is and what he’s done for us. — The more we know who God is, the more we know who we are. There is purp...
9AM on Pentecost (Day Fifty)
May 22, 2018 16:30 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Pentecost. One of the most significant days in the history of the Church, and yet most of us don't stop to contemplate what took place on that day, and what it means for us today. — The power of the Holy Spirit. That's what was given to us on Pentecost. The power to carry out the calling on our lives to spread the name and fame of Jesus. If we aren't aware of it we can spend our whole lives striving to accomplish this goal through our own power, but instead, we are cal...
Partakers = Proclaimers
May 17, 2018 18:46 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MBPastor Ben Stuart // Partakers become proclaimers. When we taste and see that The Lord is good, the most natural thing to do is celebrate Him! — To kick off our new series, Worthy, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through the spiritual blessings we’ve been given in Christ (Ephesians 1). These gifts are offered freely to us. All we have to do is say yes! — As we begin to understand the gifts we have in Christ, our most natural response will be to worship Him! We are made to worship the things that ...
Sundown at the Garden Tomb
May 15, 2018 15:20 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBPastor Louie Giglio // "Do not gloat over me my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:8 — God has a message for you today. By faith, even a tiny bit of faith in Jesus, you are going to rise. No matter how hard or far you have fallen, you are going to rise.
Our Souls + Our Screens
May 10, 2018 21:51 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBPastor Ben Stuart // Because the world of information can be tapped into at any moment, it has invaded every moment. — What do we run to when we’re in pain? What do we do when we’re uncomfortable? The truth is, many of us tend to look for ways to distract ourselves from what’s really going on within us, usually through technology. — This week Pastor Ben Stuart challenges us to turn away from diversions and toward intimacy with Jesus. What if we sat with our Creator in moments of discomfort r...
Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at your Table
May 09, 2018 17:44 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBPastor Louie Giglio // "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Psalm 23:5 — Jesus has prepared a place for you and Him to be in a relationship. A place where you can come to Him and receive the truth of who He says you are. The trouble is that too often there is a third party at our table. The enemy is constantly prowling around waiting for an opening, an invitation from us to pull up a seat and steal, kill, and destroy us...
The Problem With Love
May 03, 2018 17:55 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBPastor Ben Stuart // There’s a tendency in us to run from the leadership of God, and there’s a tendency in God to chase after us. We love that about Him when it involves us or people we like, but what about when that same grace is extended to our enemies? — In Jonah chapter 4, Jonah is angry with God for offering grace to his enemies. Jonah’s problem is with love. This week Pastor Ben Stuart challenges us with this question: Do we have a problem with love like Jonah does? Are we able to exte...
Sunrise in Dothan
April 30, 2018 19:28 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Even when war breaks out against me, I will remain confident. In the second part of our EVEN THOUGH series, Pastor Louie Giglio encourages us to build a defiant faith which can stand despite the very visible arrows of our enemies. — In 2 Kings 6 Elisha's, his eyes were open to see what his servant could not; Elisha had a defiant faith that allowed him to see the unseen protection around them when they were completely surrounded by their enemies. That same protection is...
For the Love of the Lost
April 25, 2018 21:31 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBPastor Ben Stuart // The grace of God is powerful enough to save anyone. The heart of God is compassionate enough to want to. — If your heart is going to beat in rhythm with God’s, you need to know what His heart is like. God never counts people out. In compassion, He moves toward the hurting. He dives into the depths and rescues the lost, and He doesn’t stop there! He uses our pain as a platform to invite us into His rescue mission. — God used Jonah’s biggest embarrassment for his biggest m...
Midnight in Philippi
April 24, 2018 17:27 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBPastor Louie Giglio // So many stories sound like this, “I was a person of God, I heard the messages and sang the songs, and then life happened; the night grew dark, and when I couldn’t see what God was doing, I swore to never darken the door of the Church again.” — As we kick-off our new series, EVEN THOUGH, Pastor Louie Giglio has a goal for all of us; That we would become a people who move from hearing about God to a people who are in a relationship with the Almighty that emblazons us wit...
Grace Beneath the Waves
April 18, 2018 19:51 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBPastor Ben Stuart // There’s a tendency in God to chase us and give us life, not because of something beautiful in us; because of something beautiful in Him. — That's the thing about a gift. Whether you feel worthy or not doesn’t matter. God's love is not motivated by or contingent upon your worthiness, after all, grace is when undeserving people receive an unbelievable gift from an unobligated giver. — Grace is a gift, and to honor the Giver we have to not only accept, but enjoy the gift.
When Life Doesn't Work Out
April 17, 2018 15:11 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBPastor Chad Veach, ZOE CHURCH // It's not if, it's when. There will be times when life isn't working out; when you fail; when disappointment and destructive thinking get the better of you. These are the critical moments where our minds become battlefields and the stakes are so high. — “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” Philippians 3:13 — This week, ZOE CHURCH Pastor, ...
Running and Chasing
April 13, 2018 14:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBPastor Ben Stuart // Washington D.C. In 1981 Steve Callahan's 21-foot sailboat was holed beyond repair sometime in the middle of the night. For the next 76 days he drifted in nothing but a life raft. Having lost a third of his body weight, dehydrated and starving, Steve Callahan fashioned three pencils into a device that allowed him to gather his bearings from two fixed points in the sky, steer himself into a current, and survive. — Fixed points are the only things that we can really use to ...
The Calling of Compassion
April 12, 2018 19:22 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBBrett Younker For so many of us, the word "Calling," has become equivalent with our role, or even our job. We agonize over it, stress about what and who we will become one day, and feel useless when our position doesn't match up with the calling we've felt led to. — But the truth is this; our ultimate and primary calling is to follow God. That's it. To study His Word so that we can know Him deeper, to fall more and more in love with Him, and to carry His love and compassion to the people a...
Wrecking the Ranking System
April 11, 2018 21:13 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MBGrant Partrick // Rankings. We're a culture that is obsessed with them. Check any website these days and you'll find any number of Top 10 articles and videos. No matter how old or young we are we find ourselves constantly measuring ourselves against some system designed to give everyone else a metric of our worth. — Except for Jesus. In the Kingdom of Jesus, there is only one ranking system, for each of has been created in the very image of God. Yet each of us has forgotten this about someon...
The Hero
April 06, 2018 16:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBPastor Ben Stuart // We all love stories; tales of good and evil, legends of heroes and tragedies of villains. It's why we flood into bookstores and theatres, to escape into stories we believe could never be our own. — But here's the thing, many of us will walk through life without realizing that we are actually a part of the greatest story that has ever unfolded. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus isn't isolated to scriptures and sermons, it's the moment where all of our stories wen...
The Golden Record and the Rugged Cross
April 04, 2018 17:18 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBPastor Louie Giglio // In 1977 Voyager left our atmosphere carrying with it a golden record. Filled with the ambient sounds of Earth, greetings spoken in languages from all over the World, and instructions on how to listen to them was it ever found, this record was our message to the stars. — Four decades later, we have the opportunity to hear a different message, one that has come from significantly further and at a much higher cost. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God has show...
The Restoration of Peter
March 27, 2018 19:44 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBPastor Ben Stuart // Each and every one of us will slip up, make a mistake, chose something other than Jesus. The fundamental question that we have to ask ourselves is; What does God think of me when I fail? For most of us, it’s natural for us to assume that on the other side of failure lies judgment, shame, and abandonment; after all, that’s what we see all around us. — But God… — God responds to our failures with an open door, by making a connection, to break down the walls of shame that w...
No Funerals Today
March 21, 2018 14:13 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBPastor Louie Giglio // All of us have experienced failure. Maybe it was the disappointment of dreams unrealized, or the death of a relationship we thought would last forever. No matter what it was, each of us has felt the sting of something coming to an end and had the thought, “surely this is unredeemable.” — But, there is Good News. — In the economy of God, nothing is unredeemable. Whatever you are walking through, wherever you are, God is saying to you today that it is not final. With Jes...
Gospel = Good News
March 14, 2018 14:19 - 47 minutes - 44.2 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Euangellion. Gospel. Good News. — So many of us walk through life with the idea that God is the bearer of bad news. It holds us back from Him, preventing us from even desiring a relationship with the King of the Universe. But here's the truth. Jesus is the Good News. His message of redemption, His very life on this Earth and His sacrifice on our behalf are the greatest news we could ever imagine. Our God, and all of creation, are crying out the message that we are so d...
It's Time to Get Started
March 06, 2018 15:50 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MBPastor Louie Giglio // Eventually, we all have to have a Lift-Off moment in our lives. Yes, we need to prepare, to train, to rehearse, but if the lift-off never happens then it’s possible we’ll have wasted our journey around the Sun. — Today can be the day that you say to God that you are ready to do something with Him this year. Today could be the day that you start to repair that relationship, to improve your health, to take an actual step towards joining God in what He is doing in and aro...
Who's in Your Crew?
February 28, 2018 14:54 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBPastor Brad Jones // None of us are on this journey alone. We fly through the galaxy surrounded by 7+ Billion other people, and yet amidst all of them, the feeling of loneliness is at an all-time high. It’s a wild thought, that in the most connected time in human history we can genuinely feel as though we have no one in our corner. — On this trip around the sun you and I have the opportunity, and really the responsibility, to take a look at who is in our inner circle. Do we have the right pe...
This is Us
February 21, 2018 14:30 - 57 minutes - 53 MBPastor Louie Giglio // None of us our on this journey around the Sun alone. 7+ Billion people share our planet, and the truth is that throughout the World, throughout your Country, and even in your Neighborhood and church are people who disagree with you on the matters you hold closest. and yet... they will know us by our love. On this journey around the Sun, we can choose to be peacemakers and uniters, people following Jesus' lead and extending the same Grace that has been offered to us. We...
