• The Shema: A Prayer That Aligns Your Being - Ryan Rhoden - LWRV
    Jun 1 2025

    What kind of life are you building? Jesus invites us to build on the solid foundation of His words—but the structure of that life is shaped by prayer. In this message, we explore how prayer was the secret behind Jesus’ authority, power, and purpose—and how we’re called to the same rhythm.

    We’ll look at the Shema (Deuteronomy 6), the prayer that shaped a people, and discover how aligning our hearts, souls, and strength in prayer forms us into resilient disciples.

  • Building Your Life on the Rock: Your Firm Foundation - Kim Butcher
    May 25 2025

    As we conclude our Sermon on the Mount series, Jesus leaves us with a striking image—two houses, two foundations, one storm. In Matthew 7:24-29, He makes it clear: it’s not just about hearing His words, but putting them into practice. Like deeply rooted trees that withstand the fiercest winds, our lives can remain steady when anchored in Him. This message is an invitation to examine what your life is built on. Is it the shifting sand of self-reliance, or the solid rock of Christ and His Kingdom? Jesus isn’t after performance—He’s after transformation. Let’s be the kind of people who live His way, not just hear it.

  • Recognizing the Road You're On: The Narrow Way - Ryan Rhoden
    May 18 2025

    In this teaching, we sat with one of Jesus’ most sobering teachings from Matthew 7. As He brings the Sermon on the Mount toward its conclusion, Jesus exposes the false paths that take us where we want to go, the false voices that tell us what we want to hear, and the false fruit that impresses but lacks substance. His words are a call to examine the real foundation of our lives and what we’re truly rooted in.

    As a community becoming resilient disciples, we’re learning to follow Jesus not just in belief, but in practice. In Christ, we are being built together into a dwelling for His Spirit—a people rooted in love, formed by truth, and strengthened by grace.

  • Praying With Resilience: Ask, Seek, Knock - Andy Southmayd
    May 11 2025

    In Matthew 7, His words ask, seek, knock aren’t just commands to be spiritual go-getters; they’re invitations to dependence, persistence, and vulnerability with a good Father who knows what we need. Whether we’re standing in wide-open spaces of clarity or squeezed in the tight canyons of disappointment, Jesus teaches us a way of prayer that forms resilience. Together, we’ll explore how persistent prayer doesn’t just change outcomes, it transforms us.

  • Exposing Self-Deception: The Fight for Resilient Discipleship - Ryan Rhoden
    May 4 2025

    Resilient discipleship begins with radical honesty. Not performance, not projection, but a courageous look at what we’re actually serving and how we’re actually living. Self-deception is subtle. It tells us we’re fine while we slowly drift. It normalizes compromise, numbs conviction, and slowly pulls our hearts away from the Kingdom Jesus calls us to seek first.


    In Matthew 6:19–24, Jesus invites us to examine our interior attachments. He speaks of treasure, sight, and loyalty but beneath it all is a deeper question: what is truly forming us?


    This week, we’re asking: Where is my heart invested? What am I treasuring? What do my habits, choices, and rhythms reveal? Honesty lets the light in so that Jesus can truly lead us from the inside out. Because if we are to become a resilient community of resilient disciples walking out a resilient faith, then we have to Holy Spirit expose our false attachments.

  • Seeing Without Judgement: The Practice of Mercy - Drew Berryessa
    Apr 27 2025

    In this teaching, we’ll sit with Jesus’ words from Matthew 7, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Not as a rule to keep but as a mirror to hold. What does it look like to let grace do its deep work in us first? To be people who lead with mercy, not judgment?There’s something sacred about the moment we realize the real work isn’t out there, it’s within. Jesus isn’t calling us to avoid truth. He’s inviting us to see with it.To move from critique to compassion.From projection to presence.From performing righteousness to practicing mercy.Together we’ll explore what it means to remove the log from our own eye. Not to walk away but to see more clearly. To love more freely. To become people formed by grace

  • It Is Finished: The Cosmic Victory of the Resurrection - Drew Berryessa
    Apr 21 2025

    This Easter message goes way beyond just “Jesus died for your sins.” Drew takes us on a journey from the garden to the cross to the resurrection, tracing the thread of God’s promise to redeem us from the very beginning. It’s full of those “wait… what?!” moments in Scripture that make you realize this story is way bigger than we’ve often been told.

    Jesus crushed the head of the serpent. He reversed Babel. He fulfilled every prophecy. He took back the nations. And He did it for love. He came to take back everything that was stolen. And He did.

    He has done it.

  • Letting Go of Worry: What To Do with Our Anxiety - Kate Rhoden
    Apr 13 2025

    In this teaching from Matthew 6:25 to 34, we explore Jesus’ invitation to let go of anxiety and step into the freedom of trust. Worry is real. It affects our bodies, our thoughts, and our sense of identity.


    But Jesus doesn’t shame us for feeling it. Instead, He offers an upgrade.


    Through birds, flowers, and the reminder that our Father sees and knows our needs, Jesus invites us into a life rooted not in scarcity or stress but in the security of His Kingdom. This message walks us through the tension we carry and the exchange He offers.


    From clenched fists to open hands.

    From striving orphans to trusting children.


    When we seek first His Kingdom, we find that God is not just enough. He is near, attentive, and already providing.
