Not Every Field, Just Yours | Kyle Thomsen

What if God never asked you to fix everything?
In a world full of injustice, overwhelming headlines, and constant pressure to “do more,” it’s easy to feel stuck—caring deeply but not knowing what to do. This message unpacks a powerful truth from Micah 6:8: God’s call isn’t to carry the whole world—it’s to be faithful in your field.
Through the story of Ruth and the practice of gleaning, we discover a different kind of justice—one that’s personal, practical, and actually possible.
You don’t have to solve everything.But you can do something.
💡 Key Takeaways
Justice isn’t about fixing everything—it’s about faithfulness where you are
Gleaning shows us how to leave margin for others in everyday life
You’re called to your circle of influence, not your circle of concern
Real impact happens in your heart, calendar, and wallet
Jesus already carried what you couldn’t—so you can live free and faithful

What God Actually Wants From You | Will Derryberry

What does God actually want from you?In a world full of pressure, performance, and unclear expectations, Micah 6:8 gives a surprisingly clear answer: do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

In this message:
What Micah 6:8 really means
Why God wants more than religious performance
How pride distorts faith and humility restores it

How Jesus modeled justice, mercy, and humility
What it looks like to reflect God’s heart in everyday life

Walk Humbly First | Kyle Thomsen

What if the problem isn’t that we lack justice or kindness… but that we’ve disconnected them from God?
In Week 1 of Walk the Walk, we dive into Micah 6:8 and uncover why so many well-meaning people still feel stuck. Some lead with truth. Others lead with love. But when either becomes our identity instead of our response to God, things start to break.
This message will challenge how you see yourself—and invite you into something deeper.
Big Idea:Justice and kindness don’t grow from personality — they grow from proximity to God.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Why justice without humility turns into judgment
Why kindness without truth turns into avoidance
The deeper meaning of hesed (God’s covenant love)
How biblical justice declares, repairs, and protects
Why “walking humbly” is the root—not the third step
The question that reveals where God wants to grow you
🙏 This Week’s Challenge
Sit with the part of Jesus that makes you uncomfortable.Don’t explain it away—bring it honestly to God.

Joy Is Resistance | Joy Fishler

The world feels loud right now.
Every day brings another headline, another crisis, another reason to live in anxiety. It’s like a smoke alarm that never stops beeping.
But what if the most powerful response isn’t fear… it’s joy?
In this message, we look at the story of Nehemiah and Ezra and discover how God’s people rebuilt their lives in the middle of chaos, threats, and uncertainty. They stayed alert, they kept working—but their strength didn’t come from panic or control.
It came from the joy of the Lord.
If you feel overwhelmed by the news, the future, or the noise of life, this message will remind you where true strength is found.
Because joy isn’t denial.Joy is resistance.
Key Takeaways
You can stay informed without becoming inflamed.
Fear and outrage don’t have to define your emotional climate.
God’s presence—not circumstances—is our source of strength.
The joy of the Lord is rooted in His delight in us.
Choosing joy is an act of trust in God.
Scripture Referenced
Nehemiah 4
Nehemiah 8:10
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”

You're Missing It | Kyle Thomsen

What if the miracle you’re praying for is right in front of you… and you’ve grown used to it?
In Acts 3, Peter and John walk into the temple like they always do. Same time. Same place. Same gate. Same lame man begging.
But this day is different.
Not because the man changed.Because someone stopped and really saw him.
We can become spiritually “nose-blind” to what God is doing around us. Familiarity breeds blindness. Routine numbs expectation. Religion replaces relationship.
And we miss the miracle.
In this message, we explore how:
Familiarity can dull our faith
God often works through ordinary obedience
The miracle begins when someone stops and sees the person
Jesus is the true Gate, the true Gift, and the true Power behind every miracle
Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
The Gospel is this:We were spiritually lame — unable to lift ourselves.But Jesus didn’t give us religion.He gave us Himself.
And what we don’t have, we can’t give.But what we’ve received in Christ, we must share.
Sticky Statement:👉 “You’ll miss the miracle if you miss the person.”

When God Feels Far | Kyle Thomsen

Have you ever asked, “Where is God?”
In Psalm 42, we meet a soul that is thirsty, downcast, and overwhelmed — yet still holding on to hope. This message is for anyone who has felt distant from God, spiritually dry, or emotionally exhausted.
Sometimes faith isn’t the absence of heartache.Sometimes it’s learning the power of AND.
You can say:
“God is directing His love…”AND
“Why have You forgotten me?”
In this sermon, we explore how to experience God when:
Your head has doubts
Your heart feels heavy
Your hands feel weak
Your soul feels downcast
You’ll discover:
Why spiritual dryness doesn’t mean God has left
The difference between changing circumstances and unchanging character
How hope anchors us to the Rock of Ages
A practical way to reconnect with God this week
“Hope is not the belief that circumstances will improve. It’s the conviction that God’s character never changes.”

Speak Hope Anyway | Kyle Thomsen

You think your influence is fading.God says it’s forming.
When my 10-year-old son told me “no,” I realized something:My influence was smaller than I thought… and greater than I knew.
Influence changes as people grow.Authority shifts.Capacity expands.But hope? Hope speaks anyway.
In this message from 1 Peter 3:14–18 and 2 Timothy 4:2, we discover what it means to live ready — even when we feel unready — and how our struggles may carry more influence than our successes ever could.
In a culture that panics, rages, and retreats… what would it look like to be a church that speaks with hope?
🔑 In This Message:
Why your struggles may impact people more than your wins
How to be ready “in season and out of season”
The three lies we believe:
I’m not from here
I’m not doing well
I’m not ready for this
How context determines content
Why gentleness + courage is the mark of real influence
How to speak up when fear tells you to shut up
Imagine a church:• That doesn’t panic• That doesn’t rage• That doesn’t retreat• That speaks with hope
Jesus, help us speak up when fear tells us to stay silent.

Why Your Habits Shape Your Heart | Kyle Thomsen

What if real change doesn’t come from trying harder—but from loving differently?
In Psalm 1, we’re invited into a life of blessing, stability, and fruitfulness—not through quick fixes, but through delight and meditation on God’s Word. Transformation happens when daily discipline and deep desire align with the Divine.
This message explores how spiritual formation works over time, why what you love shapes who you become, and how meditating on Scripture leads to a life that bears fruit in every season.
Key Takeaways:
Why delight always comes before obedience
How meditation shapes your loves (even like a song stuck in your head 🎶)
The difference between drifting and being deeply rooted
Why change is a long obedience in the same direction
How the fruit of the Spirit grows naturally from a rooted life
If you’re longing for real spiritual change—not hype, but depth—this message is for you.

The Genius of Jesus | Kyle Thomsen

There’s a difference between being around Jesus… and being aware like Jesus.
In Mark 5, a desperate father begs Jesus to hurry—his daughter is dying. A crowd presses in. Then Jesus stops and asks a wild question: “Who touched me?” In the chaos, the disciples think it’s pointless… but Jesus is doing something deeper: noticing the one, restoring the forgotten, and showing us what real, awe-filled worship looks like.
This message will help you see how an awestruck encounter with God doesn’t make you less aware of people—it makes you more aware. More responsible. More loving. More present. And it will challenge you with a powerful truth: your intention isn’t enough—love requires awareness.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
Why Jesus pauses when everyone else says “keep moving”
How worship should shape the way we love our neighbor
The difference between impact vs. intention
3 life-changing principles for relationships and spiritual growth:
I’m responsible for my actions
I’m not responsible for someone’s response
Love compels me to be aware
Why Jesus made one miracle public and kept another private
How walking with Jesus helps you notice people you used to miss
If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like life is moving too fast—this is an invitation to slow down and let Jesus reshape your awareness.

The Weight of His Glory | Joy Fishler

What happens when you truly see God for who He is?
In Isaiah 6:1–8, the prophet Isaiah is drawn into the throne room of heaven—a place marked by awe, holiness, reverence, and glory. This encounter doesn’t just inspire him… it undoes him, cleanses him, and ultimately calls him.
In this message, we explore what it means to stand in the presence of a holy God and how awe precedes obedience.
In this sermon, you’ll discover:
What the throne room reveals about God’s holiness
Why awe leads to humility before it leads to purpose
How confession opens the door to cleansing
Why encountering God always results in a calling
Isaiah saw the Lord—and nothing was ever the same.The same is true for us today.
