What does the cross actually mean for your pain?

In the final week of Built Different, we look at Jesus—the ultimate example of spiritual resilience—and walk through the darkest road he ever traveled. From Luke 4 to Isaiah 53 to the crucifixion story, this message explores why Jesus came, what he endured, and how his suffering brings healing, freedom, and life to the full.

If you’ve ever wrestled with pain, exhaustion, grief, shame, or inner turmoil, this message is an invitation to bring all of it to Jesus. He understands suffering, he carried our pain, and by his wounds we are healed.

We would love for you to join us in person next weekend at any of our seven locations nearest you.

What if stress isn’t always the enemy?

In this message, Dr. Wes unpacks what Scripture and science reveal about anxiety, stress, and the way God designed the human body. Looking at Psalm 139:14, Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:6–7, and more, this teaching explores how fear, cortisol, resilience, and faith all connect.

You’ll hear a powerful real-life story of survival, learn the difference between a fear-based mindset and a growth-oriented mindset, and discover how speaking God’s truth over your life can reshape the way you face pressure, pain, and uncertainty.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or mentally stuck, this message is a reminder that you are fearfully and wonderfully made—and that God is with you in whatever you’re facing.

What can we learn from the story of David and Bathsheba?

In this message, we walk through 2 Samuel 11–12 and examine one of the most sobering stories in the Bible: the fall of King David. What begins with idleness quickly spirals into lust, deception, adultery, and ultimately murder. David’s story is a powerful reminder of how hidden sin can slowly destroy a life.

But this story isn’t just about David. It’s about all of us.

We explore how temptation works, why sin often begins long before the moment we notice it, and how repentance is the path that leads to restoration.

In this message we discuss:
• The story of David and Bathsheba explained
• How idleness opens the door to temptation
• Why sin often leads us down a slippery slope
• The importance of truth tellers and accountability in our lives
• Why repentance leads to restoration

David’s story reminds us that even someone described as “a man after God’s own heart” can fall. But through repentance, God offers restoration, healing, and a new path forward.
