Still Small Voice - Elijah: Wk 7

One moment Elijah is calling down fire from heaven. The next, he’s hiding in a cave ready to give up. What happened?
In this raw story from 1 Kings 19:8-13, Pastor Matt Carter walks us into Elijah’s dark night of the soul, where fear, anxiety, and depression threatened to undo his faith. We discover that even in the cave, God does not abandon His children. Instead, He pursues Elijah in his failure, restores him with kindness, and redirects him back to his calling. 
If you have ever felt like you were too weak, too broken, or too far gone for God to use, this message is for you. The story of Elijah shows us the relentless grace of a God who will never let go of His people.

Jesus and Your Mental Health - Elijah: Wk 6

Everyone says they’re “fine”—but what if you’re not? Depression. Fear. Suicide. These are real battles, and the Bible doesn’t shy away from them.
In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from calling fire down from heaven to collapsing under despair. Pastor Joby Martin and guest Rebecca Maxwell cut through the silence to confront the mental health crisis head-on. You’ll hear raw truth, why the enemy attacks your mind, and how Jesus meets you in the darkest valleys.
The question is—will you keep pretending, or will you fight back with the truth of God’s Word?

Fire Fall Down - Elijah: Wk 5

Have you ever felt caught between two worlds—longing for God but clinging to idols?
In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls God’s people to stop wavering. On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cried out in vain, but Elijah prayed—and fire fell from heaven. Through this story, Pastor Joby invites us to examine where we place our trust and to remember that our God never fails. Whether in drought, in doubt, or in an impossible situation, He is enough.
What step of obedience is God asking you to take today?

What Kind of Man Are You? - Elijah: Wk 4

What kind of man—or woman—are you becoming? In a time of compromise, corruption, and fear, Elijah stood firm. Confronting kings, resisting evil, and obeying God no matter the cost, he shows us what strong and good leadership looks like — for both men and women.
In this week’s message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to reject fear, refuse passivity, and live with the courage that comes from the Spirit of God. Whether you’re leading in your home, workplace, or church, Elijah’s life reminds us that saved doesn’t mean soft — and faith means standing firm on the Word of the Lord.

I Believe. Help My Unbelief - Elijah: Wk 3

What do you do when you’re staring at an impossible situation? In the middle of famine and heartbreak, Elijah is confronted with what looks like an impossible situation — a widow’s son has died. Her hope is gone, and her faith is hanging by a thread.
In this week’s message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Joby shows us that even in the darkest moments, God invites us to bring what little faith we have and trust Him to do what only He can do. Elijah’s story reminds us that our hope isn’t in our circumstances — it’s in a God who hears, a God who moves, and a God who still brings life to dead places.

When God Says Go - Elijah: Wk 2

What’s the last thing God told you to do… and are you doing it?
When God told Elijah to “Arise and go,” it didn’t make sense. He was sent to an unlikely place, to meet an unlikely person, with an impossible need. But Elijah trusted and obeyed—and God provided every step of the way.
In this message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Ryan Britt reminds us: God’s commands always come with promises, but obedience still requires trust.

Running on Empty - Elijah: Wk 1

What if your calling didn’t depend on your résumé but your obedience? In a time of political chaos and spiritual darkness, Elijah enters the biblical narrative from the hills of Tishbe with no credentials, no intro, and no pedigree—but full of the power of God.
In this first message from our new series, Pastor Joby walks us through the moment Elijah enters the biblical story and reminds us: God often chooses the overlooked and underqualified to speak His Word and change the world.
If you've ever wondered whether God could use someone like you, Elijah's story is just the beginning.

Jesus Clears the Temple - In The Arena: Wk 6

In the final week of the In the Arena series, Pastor Joby unpacks what it means to be angry like Jesus and what to do about it. In John 2, we see Jesus flip tables in the temple, not out of sinful rage but with righteous anger that leads to right action. What stirs your anger? Is it about defending yourselves or protecting what God loves most?

Passover - In The Arena: Wk 5

Life isn’t a playground- it’s an arena. In this message, we unpack how the story of the Passover points us to the ultimate battle Jesus fought and won for us on the cross. From the first Exodus to the final victory at the empty tomb, you’ll see how God steps in when we can’t win the fight ourselves.
Whether you’re weary from your spiritual battles, feeling stuck in bondage or just need a reminder that God has never lost a fight, this message will help you stand firm and rest in the victory Jesus has already won.

Jacob Wrestles God - In The Arena: Wk 4

In Week 4 of In The Arena, Pastor Joby takes us into Genesis 25 and 32 to unpack the story of Jacob — the deceiver who spent his whole life wrestling for control, until one night he found himself wrestling God Himself. Through Jacob’s struggle, betrayal, and the wrestling match that changed his name to Israel, we see that real victory doesn’t come by fighting God, but by finally surrendering to Him.
If you’ve been fighting in your own strength, it’s time to quit wrestling and truly win — by surrendering everything to the One who already wrestled death for you and won.
