In Acts 16, Paul has a vision in the night—a man from Macedonia pleading, “Come over and help us.” It was more than a moment… it was a cry.

In this installment of When God Says No, Caleb Pierce challenges us to ask a sobering question: Can you hear the cry? In a world full of noise, it’s easy to miss the voices God is trying to bring to our attention. But when we are led by the Spirit, we begin to discern the deeper need behind the surface.

This message will stir your awareness...

There’s a powerful shift in Acts 16 where the language suddenly changes—Luke stops saying “they” and starts saying “we.” What was once their story becomes our story.

In Part 4 of When God Says No, Caleb Pierce unpacks this hinge moment and what it means for us today. Following God was never meant to be observed from a distance—it’s an invitation into participation. At some point, faith moves from something we watch to something we walk in.

This message will challenge you to step out of the crowd and into the story God is writing. Beca...

When God’s manifest glory enters the room, everything shifts. We lay down our own agenda and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit without hesitation. What was meant to be an ordinary service became a holy moment — a divine encounter that left a lasting imprint on our hearts. Join us for this special archive from this past Sunday at Vivacious Church!

Deep inside every human heart is the same question: What is God really like?

On Resurrection Sunday, Caleb Pierce takes us through John 20 and 2 Corinthians 3 to reveal that Jesus is the perfect picture of the Father. In the resurrection, we don’t just see power—we see personality, compassion, and the true nature of God on full display.

This message invites us to move beyond assumptions and encounter the God who has made Himself known through Jesus. If you’ve ever wrestled with who God really is, this word will bring clarity, hope, and a fresh...

Is your praise dependent on your circumstances—or is it rooted in something deeper?

In Part 3 of When God Says No, Caleb Pierce calls us to tend to the river—to cultivate a life of praise that flows in every season, not just when things are going well. Too often, our worship rises and falls with our situation, but God is inviting us into something steadier, deeper, and unshakable.

This message challenges us to move beyond circumstantial praise and step into a lifestyle of worship that remains constant in both abundance and lack. When you lear...

What do you do when God closes a door and calls a season to an end?

In Part 2 of When God Says No, Caleb Pierce dives into the way we navigate the closing of one season while embracing the next. God doesn’t just lead us forward by what He opens—He also leads us by what He ends. Learning to recognize, honor, and respond to those endings is essential to stepping fully into what He has prepared.

This message will challenge you to trust God in what He’s shutting down, release what you’re tempt...

We were honored to welcome special guest and friend of the house, Fred Bennett, back to Vivacious Church.

Have you ever considered the true power of friendship? What if reaching the lost wasn’t about strategy or presentation, but simply about making a friend? At the heart of the gospel is relationship—God drawing near to us, and inviting us to do the same for others.

In this timely and heartfelt message, Fred Bennett calls us back to a relational approach to ministry—one marked by authenticity, compassion, and genuine connection. This word will challenge the wa...

How do you respond when God says no?

The doors God closes are just as important as the ones He opens. In Acts 16, we see that the Spirit of God didn’t just guide Paul by permission—He also guided him by prohibition. Sometimes the clearest direction from God comes not through opportunity, but through restraint.

In this timely message, Caleb Pierce explores the wisdom of trusting God’s closed doors just as much as His open ones. It’s not only what God allows that shapes our path, but also what He lovingly prevents. When we...

We were honored to welcome Pastor Keith Nix to Vivacious! His message was truly an on-time word for our house—a powerful call to follow the presence of God above everything else. This message will stir your heart, realign your priorities, and call you deeper into the flow of what God is doing right now as He leads us into something new!

John 7 opens with two powerful words: “After this…” Those words come on the heels of everything Jesus faced in John 6—misunderstanding, pressure, opposition, and people walking away. Yet He kept moving forward. He didn’t quit. He didn’t compromise. He didn’t lose sight of the Father’s timing.

In Part 3 of Not Yet My Time, Caleb Pierce unpacks what it means to step into an “After This” season—a season that only comes because you refused to give up. When you’ve faced the pressure, endured the challenge, and stayed faithful through disappointment, there is always an after this wai...

How secure are you in God’s timing? Do you trust Him enough to pray, in the middle of waiting, “Father, strip my life down to the studs”?

In Part 2 of Not Yet My Time, Caleb Pierce leads us through John 7 and challenges us to embrace the hidden work God does before public breakthrough. This message invites us to let God rebuild what waiting exposes—and to trust that delay is often preparation, not denial.

In the final installment of our New Year, New Wine series, we come to a moment many of us feel—but often misunderstand: the stretching. In Luke 5, Jesus reminds us that new wine requires new wineskins.

Stretching is rarely comfortable. It exposes limits, challenges old habits, and confronts familiar ways of thinking. Yet, what if the stretching itself is evidence that God trusts you with something new? Discomfort may be a sign that you’re beginning to carry the new wine God has prepared for this season.

Don’t mistake the stretch for failure. It may be...

What is keeping you from new wine? Could it be that your insistence on an explanation is keeping you from the experience God is inviting you into? Our demand for answers often blind us to the opportunity right in front of us. Join Caleb Pierce for Part 3 of our series, New Year, New Wine.

In Part 2 of New Year New Wine, Caleb Pierce confronts a hard but necessary truth: God will not pour new wine into old wineskins. Jesus teaches that new wine demands new wineskins. This means God’s next move in your life requires a new posture, a renewed heart, and a willingness to let go of old ways. This message challenges us to examine the gap between expectation and experience and asks a defining question: Are we becoming what this next season requires?

We’re stepping into a brand-new series at Vivacious Church called New Year, New Wine. As God leads us into new seasons, new assignments, and new dimensions of faith, He also calls us to make new decisions.

In this opening message, Caleb Pierce teaches that God’s new wine cannot be poured into old wineskins. New seasons require new obedience, new faith, and new surrender. If we want to receive what God is doing next, we must be willing to release what no longer fits where He’s taking us.

In the opening message of our Advent series, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Caleb Pierce takes us back to Genesis 3 to discover the very first whisper of Christmas. When man was at his lowest, God made a promise: redemption was coming. This message reminds us that Jesus was never an afterthought. From the very beginning, God had a plan to rescue humanity and restore what was broken.

Gratitude is more than a warm feeling — it’s a lens that reveals what’s going on in our hearts. Last week in The Gateway of Gratitude, we confronted the self-centered question that so easily slips into our thinking: “What about me?” But this week, we look at something even more dangerous: the self-righteous question… “What about them?”

In John 6, a young boy steps forward with nothing more than a simple lunch. The crowd is massive. The need is overwhelming. The moment is impossible. And yet — he gives anyway.

While a self-centered mindset asks, “What about me?” a self-ri...

What if the little boy in John 6 had lived with a me first mentality? What if, instead of opening his hands, he protected what was his, stayed small, and chose comfort over compassion? That single moment would have looked very different — not just for him, but for the thousands waiting for a miracle.

In Part 2 of The Gateway of Gratitude, we explore what happens when gratitude becomes more than a feeling — when it becomes a posture that refuses to hold back what God wants to multiply. Gratitude moves us from protecting what’s “mine” to offering what’s His. And w...

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a gateway. A doorway into greater peace, greater clarity, greater faith, and a greater awareness of God’s presence. And no one embodied this better than Jesus. But have you ever wondered what could cause the Creator of the universe to pause… and say, “Thank You”?

Are you living from who you are, or still trying to become what you’ve already been called? In the final message of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce shares a powerful word from Mark 2 where Jesus looks at the paralyzed man and calls him “Son.” Before the miracle, before the healing—identity was restored.

This message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just fix what’s broken; He reveals who we’ve been all along. It’s time to live as sons and daughters, becoming what we already are.

In this powerful continuation of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce challenges us to see faith from a new perspective — not just as belief for our own breakthrough, but as the determination to carry others to Jesus. In Redefining Faith, we’re reminded that true faith doesn’t stand at a distance hoping for a miracle; it climbs the roof, lifts the burden, and refuses to stop until the hurting are face-to-face with the Healer.

Join us as we dive into the story of the four friends who carried the paralyzed man to Jesus — a picture...

Sometimes what we call “logic” is actually the very thing leading us into delusion. In this message, Caleb Pierce challenges us to let go of human reasoning and embrace the faith that moves mountains. God’s ways don’t always make sense—but they always bring freedom, healing, and breakthrough.

In Part 10 of our sermon series Tear Off The Roof, Caleb Pierce brings a powerful word on Trust.

Do we want friends who will cater to our dysfunction—or friends who will carry us to Jesus? The story of the paralyzed man whose friends tore open a roof to bring him before Christ (Mark 2) reminds us that true trust in God often flows through the people He places in our lives.

In this message, Caleb challenges us to evaluate our relationships, our faith, and our willingness to trust God’s process even...

In this powerful installment of our series Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce brings fresh insight from Luke 5, where a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof into the presence of Jesus.

More than a story of physical healing, this message—“Free From Offense”—challenges us to confront the hidden offenses that keep us spiritually stuck. Offense with God. Offense with people. Even offense with ourselves.

What’s paralyzing your faith? What offense are you still carrying? This sermon is a call to drop the weight, tear through the barriers, and walk in the full freed...

Only one man got healed that day. But the power was present for everyone. In this powerful installment of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce unpacks a tension-filled moment from Luke 5. The room was full. The Pharisees were watching. The presence of God was tangible. And yet… only one man got his miracle. In Part 8: “Can You Hear It?”, we ask the question: What is present that we are not living aware of? Could it be that we’ve become so familiar with the atmosphere of God’s presence that we no longer respond to it? Are we in the...

In this powerful installment of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce dives deep into Luke 5 and the story of the paralytic man whose friends tore off the roof just to get him to Jesus. But the real twist? It wasn’t the radical faith of the roof-breakers that shocked the crowd—it was Jesus healing the man that stirred controversy. Why? Because it was the religious crowd who found it strange.

In The Strange Ones, we challenge the idea that bold, unshakable faith is “weird.” Maybe trusting Jesus to heal, to move, and to break barriers...

In this installment of Tear Off The Roof, Caleb Pierce dives into Luke 5, a stirring account that confronts the conflict between religious tradition and genuine faith. This message shines a spotlight on how religion can inadvertently block access to God’s grace—and how faith can break through.

The enemy wants to paralyze you with fear — but the fight has already been fixed. In Part 5 of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce delivers a timely word titled “A Fixed Fight,” encouraging believers to stand firm and move forward with boldness and faith.

Drawing from Philippians 1:27–28, this message challenges us to recognize the tactics of the enemy, reject intimidation, and walk in the confidence that comes from knowing the outcome is already in God’s hands. You’re not fighting for victory — you’re fighting from victory.

🔑 In this message, you’ll be reminded:

In this powerful installment of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce brings a stirring message from Ezekiel 47 titled “Cross The Chasm.”

This teaching unpacks the truth that when we had no way to reach Jesus, He crossed the distance to reach us. Religion says, “Clean up before you come,” but Jesus says, “I’ll come to you — and then I’ll clean you up.”

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unworthy, or too far gone, this message is a reminder that God’s grace flows deeper than any failure — and He’s not waiting for perfection to...

Are you feeling stuck, spiritually dry, or disconnected from your purpose? This message reveals how God's presence can break the cycle of spiritual stagnation and lead you into a fresh flow of life and power.

In this powerful second installment of our Tear Off The Roof series, Caleb Pierce unpacks the prophetic vision found in Ezekiel 47, calling the Church back to the source—the river of God’s presence.

So often, we trade the living waters of relationship for the dry routines of religion. But in this message, we are reminded: God isn't calling us to religion—He's calling us to the river. Healing flows there. Freedom begins there. Life is found there.

It’s not about leading people to tradition or performance. It’s about leading them into the depths of...

In this timely conclusion to our series "The Dreamer’s Drip: Reforming Without Conforming," Caleb Pierce brings the journey of Joseph full circle—revealing how he rose to rule Egypt without ever being ruled by it.

Joseph’s elevation wasn't just about position—it was about posture. In a culture that could have easily consumed him, Joseph held fast to his God-given identity and calling. He dressed like Egypt, spoke its language, and managed its economy—but he never bowed to its gods or lost the dream that set him apart.

This message is for every beli...

In Part 6 of our sermon series The Dreamer’s Drip, we dive into one of the most overlooked keys to unlocking your God-given influence: authority through submission.

In Genesis 41, Joseph is elevated from the prison to the palace—becoming the second most powerful man in the known world. But even at that level of influence, Joseph was still under Pharaoh. Why? Because in God’s Kingdom, you will never walk in authority beyond the degree to which you are under authority.

In this message, you’ll learn:

In Part 5 of our series The Dreamer's Drip, we dive deep into the freeing truth that God's love isn't something we earn—it's something we're given.

Are you free from performance? This a reminder that we were never meant to live under the pressure of earning God’s acceptance. So many of us carry the weight of performance—thinking our worth is tied to how well we behave, how much we produce, or how others perceive us. But the Gospel flips that script. Your identity isn't based on your performance; it's rooted in God's unwavering affection for you.<...
