Do you find yourself bargaining with God when things get tough?. This week, CJ Ward discusses the supremacy of King Jesus and why our relationship with Him cannot be a negotiation. Using the metaphor of a "silent partner," CJ exposes our tendency to give God a "10% share" of our lives while keeping the rest for our own plans.

Drawing from Colossians 3, we learn that if we have been raised with Christ, our lives must be oriented around His kingdom. It’s time to stop treating Jesus as a consultant and start following Him as King.

In week three of the Hope of Glory series, Brooklyn Alm shares a message titled Deeply Rooted. Looking at Colossians 2, this message explores how lasting faith grows when our lives stay rooted in Christ. Through the practices of Scripture, prayer, and community, believers can develop deep spiritual roots that withstand life’s storms and produce lasting spiritual fruit.

Tired of the performance trap?

We often treat our significance like a goal to be reached, but the Gospel says it’s a gift already given. In this message, CJ Ward explores Colossians 1 to show why "Christ in you" is the only anchor that doesn't move when life gets hard.

• The "Uncle Rico" trap of wasted potential.

• Why earning your value means you can lose it.

• Living out of the security of being loved.

What is real hope?

In Colossians 1:27, Paul declares: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

In this opening message of Hope of Glory, CJ Ward walks through the supremacy of Christ and what it means that Jesus doesn’t just save us — He lives in us.

Hope is not wishful thinking.
Hope is not based on circumstances.
Hope is anchored in Christ.

If you’ve ever felt like your confidence rises and falls with life’s ups and downs, this message will re-center your foundation.

Is there a spiritual magic trick?

In Matthew 12:33–37, Jesus teaches that a tree is recognized by its fruit and that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”

What goes in eventually comes out.

In this final message of the World Builders series, CJ Ward explains why we cannot continue feeding fear, bitterness, lust, or outrage into our lives and expect healthy fruit to grow.

The world can help manage behavior.
Only Jesus transforms the heart.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep surfacing in your life, this message will challenge and encourage you.

There is no magic trick.
But there is real transformation in Jesus.

In Week 2 of our World Builders series, CJ Ward teaches from Ephesians 4:29 and challenges us to examine the condition of our speech.

The Bible warns against “unwholesome” talk—language that is corrupt, decaying, or rotten. Our words are never neutral. They either build up or slowly break down.

If words build worlds, what kind of world are your words creating?

Big Idea: Corrupt words don’t just damage conversations—they slowly rot relationships, communities, and our own hearts.
