YOUR MOUTH ON MISSION | My Big Fat Mouth (week 5)
Pastor Johann Leclaire | rest Church
Your Mouth On Mission | My Big Fat Mouth (Week 5)
Big Idea: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU MAY EVER DO… IS SAY THE RIGHT THING… TO THE RIGHT PERSON… AT THE RIGHT TIME.
Our words were never meant to stop with us. Through Colossians 4:5–6 and 1 Peter 3:15, we discover that every conversation is an opportunity to point someone toward Jesus. Whether we’re speaking to ourselves, encouraging our familieS or sharing hope with the world, God calls us to speak with wisdom, grace, gentleness and truth. Because our witness isn’t just built...

Say The Thing That Builds | My Big Fat Mouth (Week 4)
Big Idea: WORDS EITHER BUILD UP OR BURN DOWN.
Words are never “just” words. They shape hearts, strengthen faith and leave lasting marks on the people around us. In this message we discover that every conversation is an opportunity to either tear down or build up. Through Ephesians 4, we’re challenged to put away rotten speech, speak words filled with grace and become the kind of people whose voices bring life into our homes, our church and our everyd...

Hold Your Tongue | My Big Fat Mouth (Week 3)
Big Idea: NOT ALL BAIT DESERVES A BITE
Every fisherman knows the danger of taking the bait. The same is true with our words. Some bait comes as a challenge, some as urgency, and some disguised as concern. In this message, we discover that wisdom isn’t just knowing what to say, but when to say it and that God calls us to listen first, discern carefully, and steward our speech. Because not every opinion deserves a response, not every of...

Fire In The Mouth | My Big Fat Mouth (Week 2)
Big Idea: YOU CAN’T TAME THE FIRE, BUT THE SPIRIT CAN ~ SO SPEAK TO RESTORE, NOT TO WIN
Words are never “just” words. They have the power to bring life or death, healing or hurt. In Week 1 of My Big Fat Mouth, we explore Proverbs 18:21 and discover how our words reveal what’s really happening in our hearts and how Jesus redeems both.

Now get her for me as my wife.” 3 But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me...

DAVID / / FROM CAVES TO THE CROSS
Pastor CJ
/ / BLUE CHRISTMAS SVC / / For many Christmas comes with grief, loss, unanswered prayers, and long nights that don’t end when the lights go up. King David knew those seasons. The Psalms give voice to fear, failure, waiting, and pain, while still clinging to God. And it's David’s story that points us forward to Jesus, who stepped into our darkness and carried it to the cross.
This Christmas, we’re gathering like DAVID: From Caves to the Cross. Join us for a rest church alternative (Blue Christmas) service for anyone who needs space to bre...

OUR FAMILY + FUTURE / / wk8
Pastor Cody
WEEK 8 | OUR FAMILY + FUTURE
We belong to one another because we belong to Him — and His best is still ahead.
Ownership → Partnership → Accountability → Hope & vision.
6.3.9 | #9 - WE'RE A FAMILY We don’t have members here—we have family. Family means we’re united by grace, shaped by love, and committed to one another’s good. Having a voice that helps guide rest Church isn’t a right to demand but a privilege to steward. Because health matters more than hurry, we hire slowly and release quickly—with grace, not gossip, and always f...
OUR PARTNERSHIP / / wk7
Pastor AB
WEEK 7 | OUR PARTNERSHIP
We don’t compare kingdoms — we co-labor for one King. Kingdom mentality → Mission clarity → Paint-golf-balls.
6.3.4 | #4 - WE COMPLETE (NOT COMPETE) We believe every Christian church is part of God’s Kingdom, and we want to complete the body of Christ, not compete with it. We intentionally partner with other churches, non-profits, and ministries to reach our city for Jesus. Our unity magnifies His glory, and our diversity displays His creativity. In completing the body, church planting will always be part of our DNA.(1 Corinthians 12:12–27, Philippians 2:3–4, Romans 12:4–5)

OUR RESPONSE / / wk6
Pastor Cody
WEEK 6 | OUR RESPONSE
We give God our first and best—not our leftovers.
Giving → Worshipful excellence → Time and talent stewardship.
6.3.8 | #8 - WE RESPOND We believe generosity and excellence go hand in hand. When we respond through giving—spiritually, financially, or through service—we’re declaring that Jesus is the hero of every story. That belief drives us to pray bold prayers, expect big results, and prepare with intentional excellence. Excellence isn’t an accident, nor is it perfection; but it is worship—doing the small things with great care because our God...
OUR COMMUNITY / / wk5

WEEK 5 | OUR COMMUNITY Real community requires truth, trust, and time.
Biblical conflict resolution → Kill gossip → Build restorative relationships.
6.3.6 | #6 - WE DO LIFE TOGETHER
The Church isn’t a building or a program—it’s people. At rest, we believe real community doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built through trust, time, and truth. To have community with others, you have to love them. To love someone, you have to build trust. And to build trust, you have to get to know them. Jesus loves the Church and gave His life for h...
OUR CALLING / / wk4
Pastor AB
WEEK 4 | OUR CALLING
If you’re saved, serving isn’t optional, it’s identity.
Volunteerism as worship → Ownership culture → Equipping saints.
6.3.5 | #5 - SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE If you’re a follower of Jesus, serving others isn’t optional—it’s a byproduct of growing in Him. Every believer should find ways to serve in their church, their city, their country, and the world. We’re most like Jesus when we serve, because He came not to be served, but to serve. (Mark 10:45, Ruth 1-2, John 13)

We believe the local church is God’s Plan A for reaching the world, so if rest isn’t your church, we’...

On conscience doctrine, we hold an open hand—marked by...

Jesus leads. We follow.
6.3.1 | #1 - JESUS IS OUR SENIOR PASTOR According to 1 Peter 5, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd of every Christian church. We interpret this as Him holding the title of Senior Pastor, Lead Pastor, and Head Elder. We don’t lead through rockstar or single-leader models; instead, we embrace a plurality of leadership that submits to Jesus as the active Head of His Church. He is not just our Founder—He still leads His people...
