From Misunderstood to Missionary | Joy Fishler

What do autocorrect fails, Kat Von D, and Mary Magdalene have in common? More than you think. This week’s message explores the powerful story of Mary Magdalene—from being misjudged and misunderstood to becoming the first to witness the resurrection of Jesus. With some surprising humor, real-life comparisons, and biblical truth (Luke 8:1-2, John 20:11-18, Galatians 3:28), we uncover how God uses the most unlikely people for His greatest purposes. Join us as we reflect on grace, identity, and what it means to truly be seen by Jesus. #MaryMagdalene #GraceStory #ChurchHumor #FaithAndFreedom #JesusSeesYou #Galatians328 #RosevilleChurch #SundayMessage #HopeAndRedemption

Faithful When No One’s Watching | Kyle Thomsen

Most people have never heard of Epaphroditus—but Paul called him a brother, a co-worker, and a soldier. In Philippians 2:25–30, we discover a man who didn’t seek a platform, applause, or legacy—he simply showed up, suffered well, and served faithfully.
In this message from our Made for More series, we unpack how the quiet obedience of a seemingly ordinary man reveals the extraordinary humility of Jesus. The Gospel isn’t about building our brand—it’s about carrying His name. Epaphroditus risked everything to deliver a message that wasn’t even his... and that’s exactly what we’re called to do.
👉 Discover how a life of quiet faithfulness still echoes in eternity.📖 Philippians 2:25-30#MadeForMore #TheEpaphroditusEffect #FaithfulServant #Philippians #GospelLife #JesusIsEnough

Soft Power, Hard Truths | Kyle Thomsen

This week, Pastor Kyle challenges us to rethink how we use power in our lives. Are we using hard power to protect and defend, or soft power to transform and heal? Discover how Jesus models both through His sacrifice and resurrection. Plus, hear powerful stories from our community about forgiveness, transformation, and making an impact. Don’t miss it!

Finding Hope In The Wilderness | Kyle Thomsen

In this powerful message, we explore the story of Hagar and how her journey reveals profound truths about faith, identity, and God's redemptive plan. From the tension between Sarai and Sarah to the significance of Shur as a place of transformation, Hagar’s story challenges us to see how God meets us at the margins and uses the wilderness as a classroom. Discover how Hagar’s encounter with "The God Who Sees" teaches us to find purpose even in the most desolate places.
Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning of submission, suffering, and the promise of being made for more, even when life feels like an in-between space.#MadeForMore #LifeCommunityChurch #HagarStory #FaithJourney

Faithfulness Over Fame | Kyle Thomsen

In this powerful message from our Made for More series, we explore the story of Joanna—one of the often-overlooked yet deeply faithful women in Scripture. Her generosity, hospitality, and unwavering support of Jesus’ ministry show us that God doesn’t just use the famous… He uses the faithful. With reflections from Luke 8 and Luke 24, we unpack how Joanna’s table became her mission field and how your first calling might be closer than you think—right around your own table. Join us as we challenge the lie that bigger is always better and celebrate the quiet strength of steady faithfulness.

This Wasn’t the Plan… But It Was the Miracle | Kyle Thomsen

What if your greatest expectation is only a shadow of what God truly has in store?
This Easter, we dive into the powerful story of Lazarus (John 11:1–44) — a man who was dead and buried, until Jesus called him by name and raised him to life. Through moments of grief, doubt, delay, and ultimately resurrection, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t just the One who shows up on time… He’s the One who brings new life.
Whether you're more like Martha—running to Jesus with hard questions… or Mary—sitting in quiet pain… or Thomas—bracing for the worst, this message is for anyone who’s ever asked:
“Where were you, Jesus?”“Why did this happen?”“Is there more than this?”
In a world chasing comfort, Jesus calls us into courage. In our graves of disappointment, He speaks life. And when we think the story is over, He shows us—it’s just beginning.

Two Criminals, One Cross, and a Life Changing Choice | Kyle Thomsen

What if two people saw the exact same thing… and walked away with completely different interpretations? In this message from Luke 23, we explore the moment Jesus hung on the cross between two criminals—each with a choice, each with a perspective, and each revealing something deeper about the human heart. One mocked. One believed. One rejected. One received paradise. Through familiar illusions, real-life moments, and a raw look at the crucifixion, we uncover how our perception of Jesus starts with a brutally honest look at ourselves. Watch now and ask yourself: Am I seeing clearly… or just seeing what I want to see?

Forgiveness At The Table | Kyle Thomsen

In this Encounter(s) message from April 6, 2025, we explore one of the most powerful moments in the life of Jesus—when He knelt to wash His disciples' feet and shared a final meal before His betrayal. Through Zechariah 11:4-14, Luke 22:14-21, and John 13:1-17, we witness Jesus’ deep love and humility in the face of betrayal, and His call to us to follow His example of servant-hearted forgiveness. Key Themes: - Forgiveness isn't forgetting, excusing, or waiting for an apology. - True forgiveness is choosing to let go—*aphiēmi*—even when it costs us something. - Jesus knew betrayal was coming... and still chose to serve. - The broken bread and poured-out cup reveal the heart of a Savior willing to suffer so we could be whole. “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.” – Lewis B. Smedes “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” – Marianne Williamson Let Jesus’ example change how you see service, sacrifice, and forgiveness. 📖 Scriptures: Zechariah 11:4–14 Luke 22:14–21 John 13:1–17 #Forgiveness #JesusWashesFeet #Communion #Encounters #HolyWeek #LetGo #FreedomInChrist

Life Stories | Kyle Thomsen & Sarah Brewer

In this powerful episode of Life Stories, Pastor Kyle sits down with Kids Director Sarah Brewer for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and holy. From her “feral child” days of being banned from sleepovers to wrestling with doubt after Bible college, Sarah shares a deeply personal journey of rebellion, resistance, and ultimately, a return to faith. Discover how God used her own parenting journey—and a quiet lakeside moment—to call her back into ministry, and how she’s now helping parents disciple their kids through the messiness of everyday life. If you’ve ever felt unequipped or uncertain in your own walk or parenting, this one’s for you.
