    From Valley To Victory

    Catch the message "From Valley to Victory" by NextGen Pastor Luke Mihail.

    Home For Christmas: Welcome Home

    Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Welcome Home" by Pastor Scott Jones.

    The birth of Jesus is the moment home came to us. The shepherds were invited in. The angels sang. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In that manger, God welcomed the world back into his presence. Through Jesus, we are no longer far off — we are family. The story that began with exile ends with invitation. And everyone who responds to the invitation will hear God say, “Welcome home.”

    Home For Christmas: The Road Home

    Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: The Road Home" by Pastor Scott Jones.

    God always makes a way home — even when the road is hard, unexpected, or uncertain. A census. A long road. A small town with no room to spare. The journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem looks ordinary, even inconvenient, but God was writing His redemption story through it all. The road home was not smooth, but it led to the Savior. In our own lives, the road home may be filled with detours and discomfort, yet God uses every step to bring us closer to himself.

    Home For Christmas: Longing For Home

    Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Longing For Home" by Pastor Scott Jones.

    Deep within every heart is a longing to be home — not in a place, but in the presence of God. From the wilderness wanderings to Babylonian exile, Israel’s story is one of homesickness for God’s promise. They sang by the rivers of Babylon and wept for Zion. Yet through prophets and poets, God reminded them that the journey wasn’t over — that one day he would bring His people home again. This longing is the echo of Eden in every human soul — the ache that Christmas begins to heal.

    Home For Christmas: Running From Home

    Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Running From Home" by Pastor Scott Jones.

    The Garden of Eden was humanity’s first home — a place of peace, purpose, and presence. But when Adam and Eve chose disobedience, they traded home for exile. When sin entered the world, we didn’t just break a rule — we broke relationship. We walked away from the One who made us, and ever since, every human heart has been homesick for God. Yet even in judgment, God’s heart for His children never changed. He went looking for them. He covered their shame. He promised redemption. Christmas is the fulfillment of that promise — the moment God stepped into our exile to bring us back home.

    12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Give It Away

    Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Give It Away" by Pastor Scott Jones.

    Jesus said, “Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.” The hidden secret of continuing to grow is not to keep it to yourself. Someone said, “Make your mess your message.” It’s when we are generous in giving away what we have learned and gained is when we come full circle in the journey of transformation.

    12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Stay Present

    Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Stay Present' by Pastor Scott Jones.

    Transformation isn’t a series of linear steps. It’s the ongoing practice of being mindful of God and of the way we are living. We are called to a “with God” life where our constant awareness of his presence helps us keep short accounts and live honestly with him and others.

    12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Be Vigilant

    Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Be Vigilant' by Pastor Scott Jones.

    We never arrive. Sometimes spiritual growth feels like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. We have to stay vigilant in our pursuit of transformation, and that means you don’t take a day off. It is the “one day at a time” mindset that keeps us from living in guilt and frees us to stay focused on the change we want to see.

    12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Make Amends

    Catch the message '12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Make Amends' by Pastor Scott Jones.

    When it comes to making amends, first there is the willingness and then there is the follow-through. This action is a necessary step. We can’t always reconcile a relationship, but we can admit to others what we have done to hurt them and seek to make it right in whatever way God provides.
