He Is Risen - Mark Middleton - 04.05.26
#15
Yesterday at 4:00 PM

Through the stories of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, and Peter, we see three deeply personal encounters with Jesus—each one different, each one transformative. Mary discovers that Jesus knows her by name. Thomas moves from doubt to unshakable belief. Peter finds restoration after failure. And in their stories, we begin to see our own.

This message is an invitation: to draw near, to believe again (or for the first time), and to return to Jesus with open hands. Because the same risen Christ who called them is calling you.

The Lords Table - Wes Lindseth - 03.29.26
#14
04/01/2026

What does the Lord’s Table really mean for us today?

In this message, Wes Lindseth teaches from three powerful moments in Scripture—Psalm 23, Exodus 12, and Jesus’ final meal with His disciples. The table God sets is deeply personal. It’s a table of provision, preparation, and passion.

This isn’t just about a ritual—it’s about relationship. It’s about slowing down, remembering, and recognizing what God has done, and what He’s still doing in our lives. Pull up a seat and join us at the table.

Abiding Is Beholding - Mark and Caleb - 03.22.26
#13
03/24/2026

What if spiritual transformation isn’t about trying harder—but seeing clearer?

In this powerful message, Mark and Caleb explore the heart of discipleship: beholding Jesus. True change doesn’t begin with behavior, discipline, or knowledge—it begins with fixing our eyes on Him. When we truly see Jesus, everything shifts. What once felt like obligation becomes desire, and obedience flows naturally from love.

In this episode, Mark Middleton preaches on the heart of the church’s mission through Matthew 28:19: we are called not only to be disciples, but to make disciples. But discipleship doesn’t start with behavior, knowledge, or discipline—it begins with beholding Jesus.

Built Under Fire - Mark Middleton - 02.22.26
#8
02/25/2026

In Nehemiah 4–6, the wall is going up—but so is the opposition. Mocking. Threats. Lies. Intimidation. False accusations. Distractions. The moment progress starts, resistance shows up. Why? Because a great work often brings great opposition.

This episode dives into the tactics of the enemy and the strategy of heaven. If you’ve felt discouraged, distracted, or under attack lately, this message will strengthen your resolve and remind you: the opposition may be loud, but our God fights for us.

#7
02/17/2026

In this sermon, Mark and Memo teach from Nehemiah, reminding us that everyone had a place on the wall—priests, families, professionals, leaders, even those with complicated pasts. From the Sheep Gate to the Dung Gate, every section mattered. 

This episode is a call to stop standing in the rubble and start rebuilding.
You are God’s workmanship. You are engaged in a great work. Now it’s time to rise up and build.

A Great Work - Mark Middleton - 02.09.26
#6
02/11/2026

In this episode, Mark Middleton dives into the story of Nehemiah to discover how God rebuilds what has been broken for generations. The walls of Jerusalem had lain in ruins for nearly 150 years—symbols of lost protection, dignity, and identity. This sermon is a call to pray first, see clearly, and step forward in faith—because God still rebuilds cities the same way He always has: one heart restored, one life surrendered, one obedient “yes” at a time.

An Attitude of Gratitude - Mark Middleton - 01.25.26

01/28/2026

In this episode, Mark Middleton teaches on why thanksgiving isn’t a moment or a mood, but a posture that shapes how we live. From the healing leper who returned to say thank you, to Jesus’ overflowing fullness in John 1, to the soul-anchoring declaration of Psalm 23—this teaching reminds us that grace flows from who Jesus already is. Gratitude keeps our hearts open, our minds renewed, and our lives grounded in humility.

A Season of Grace - Mark Middleton - 01.18.26
#3
01/20/2026

Mark Middleton shares a simple but powerful truth in this Sunday morning sermon: “Thank you moves you into the presence.” Gratitude is not just a response to breakthroughs—it’s the pathway that leads us there. While complaining anchors us in the wilderness, thanksgiving lifts our eyes, softens our hearts, and moves us forward in faith.

Drawing from Psalm 100, Psalm 1, Colossians 3, Mark explains how gratitude positions us like trees planted by living water—rooted, nourished, and fruitful in every season. Gratitude shapes where our roots grow, keeps us abiding in Christ, and aligns our lives with the f...


Grace in Gratitude - Mark Middleton - 01.11.26
#2
01/13/2026

In this message, Mark invites us into a simple but powerful truth: gratitude expands our capacity for grace. Mark unpacks why grace isn’t limited by God’s supply but by our ability to receive it, how gratitude stretches our spiritual “wineskins,” and why Jesus never came to patch up an old life—He came to give us a brand-new one. This episode will encourage you to lean into gratitude, refocus your hunger on God’s presence, and discover how a simple “thank you” can open your life to more of what God wants to pour out.

A Rock of Remembrance - Wes Lindseth - 12.28.25

01/06/2026

In this episode, we explore the powerful biblical theme of Ebenezer—a rock of remembrance—and how intentionally recalling God’s faithfulness helps us grow in the grace of gratitude. Drawing from 1 Samuel 3–7, Matthew 16, and Matthew 7, we journey through three significant “rocks” found in Scripture:

A rock of remembrance — declaring, “Up to this point the Lord has helped us.” I Samuel 7:12A rock of revelation — the life-changing truth of who Jesus is. Matt 16:15-19A rock called Christ Jesus — the only foundation that stands firm through every storm. Matt 7:24-27

Growing in Gratitude: A Transforming Grace

In this message from Life Church 7, Pastor Wes teaches that gratitude is not a behavior we force, but a grace God grows within us. While launching 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, he calls the church to something deeper—living from a heart shaped by grace and rooted in thankfulness.

Through Psalm 100, the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, and powerful healing testimonies, this sermon reveals how gratitude opens the door to God’s presence, keeps our hearts aligned with faith, and brings glory to God. Pastor Wes remi...

12/23/2025

What if the greatest promise of Christmas isn’t just that God came, but that God stayed? In this message from our Incarnation series, Wes Lindseth walks us through the powerful truth of Immanuel—God with us. 

As we unpack the Incarnation, we’ll see how God’s nearness produces two life-shaping graces: gratitude and humility. When we truly grasp that God is with us, it changes how we see ourselves and how we treat others. This is an encouraging, grounding word for anyone who needs to be reminded today: you are not al...

12/17/2025

In this sermon, Mark Wheaton explores the breathtaking mystery of Jesus stepping into humanity—fully God, fully man—and why that changes everything. Drawing from Philippians 2:6–8, we see Christ’s humility and willingness to enter our broken world. Through prophetic promises in Isaiah 7, 9, and 61, and their fulfillment in Luke 1, we’re reminded that God’s plan was never rushed or accidental—it was intentional, loving, and redemptive.

The Purpose of a Priest - Jim Sim - 10.26.25
#45
10/28/2025

In this weeks sermon, Jim reminds us that being a follower of Jesus means more than just believing — it’s stepping into our calling as priests before God. Every one of us is invited to live with priestly purpose: to minister to God through worship, prayer, and obedience, and to represent His heart to the world around us.

Through Scripture and real-life insight, we see that God’s purpose doesn’t always come with a spotlight. It often shows up in faithfulness — in serving, listening, loving, and showing up day after day. This sermon calls us to live...


A Kingdom of Priests - Mark Middleton - 10.19.25
#44
10/22/2025

This week’s podcast asks a question we don’t often stop to consider: What is a priest?

For many of us, that word feels distant—something from another time, another place, another people. But from the very beginning, God’s plan was never for a few to stand before Him. His desire was for all His people to walk as priests—those who minister to Him, love Him, and carry His presence into the world.

In this message, Mark Middleton traces the story of the priesthood from Genesis to Revelation. From Melchizedek, the king of righteo...

Paul reminds us that the Kingdom isn’t about location—it’s about His presence.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual realm that breaks into our world even now. John the Baptist announced its arrival. Jesus declared its nearness. The disciples were sent to demonstrate its power through healing, deliverance, and miracles. And then Jesus made a radical statement: “The kingdom of God is within you and in your midst” (Luke 17:20–21 NASB).
