What does it look like to follow Jesus when you feel like you don’t quite fit in?

It also unpacks the powerful truth that we are not meant to follow Jesus alone—we are being built together as a spiritual house where God’s presence dwells. As you listen, you’ll be encouraged to rethink how you structure your life, deepen your connection to community, and step into your role as someone who helps others encounter God in a real and meaningful way. #WalloonChurch #Bible #1Peter #ForgingFaith #Scripture #LoveLikeJesus #Hopen

We're blessed to hear from our Lead Pastor Jeff Ellis, this morning as he brings us the final message in our series of messages about Jesus's words to the 7 churches in Revelation, called "Seven". In this message from Revelation 3:14–22, we explore Jesus’ powerful words to the church in Laodicea and His warning about the danger of lukewarm faith. Though the church appeared successful, comfortable, and self-sufficient, Jesus revealed that their spiritual condition was far different from what they believed. This message challenges us to examine our own spiritual lives, recognize how easily comfort can replace dependence on Christ, and rediscover the life-changing invitation Jesus gives when He says, “I stand at the door and knock.” It’s a message that calls believers back to authentic faith, renewed passion, and a deeper daily relationship with Him.

We're blessed to hear from our Campus Pastor Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a new message in our series of messages about Jesus's words to the 7 churches in Revelation, called "Seven". What do you do when life feels unstable—when doors close, your strength feels small, and the ground beneath your life seems to shift? In this message from Revelation 3:7–13, we explore Jesus’ encouraging words to the church in Philadelphia, a group of believers who lived with constant uncertainty yet were commended for their faithfulness. Through this passage, we discover four powerful promises Jesus gives his people when life feels unpredictable: he holds the key to every door, he sees our faithfulness even when our strength is small, he is building an unshakable future for those who endure, and he gives us a lasting identity that the world cannot erase. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by instability or unsure about the future, this message offers a hopeful reminder that when everything feels shaky, Jesus is secure.

We're blessed to hear from Campus Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a new message in our series of messages about Jesus's words to the 7 churches in Revelation, called "Seven". In this message from Revelation 3:1–6, we explore Jesus’ sobering words to the church in Sardis—a church that looked alive on the outside but was spiritually asleep on the inside. This sermon challenges us to examine whether we are relying on reputation, routine, or past spiritual momentum instead of pursuing fresh, Spirit-filled obedience today. With both urgency and hope, it calls us to wake up, strengthen what remains, and reignite the fire of authentic faith so that our lives and our church are marked not just by activity, but by true resurrection power.
