Collective Church

In the opening message of the Kingdom Parents: Raising Disciples, Not Just Good Kids series, we explore what it means to make God the priority in our parenting. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6:1–9, we are reminded that the goal isn’t simply to raise successful children by the world’s standards, but to raise children who love God, depend on Him, know His Word, and live for His Kingdom. Kingdom parenting begins with loving God ourselves and intentionally leading our families to know and follow Him in every part of everyday life.

Our first Sunday in our new building was a powerful reminder that this building is more than a place—it is a house dedicated to the presence of God. In this message, we look at Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 21:13, Acts 1:14, and Acts 2:42 to discover what it means to be a church devoted to prayer and committed to becoming a house of prayer for all peoples. As we step into this new season, our prayer is that these walls would be filled with worship, unity, and prayers that move the heart of God.

In this message from Psalm 103:1–5, Pastor PJ Noland reminds us that worship is a choice before it is a feeling. When we intentionally remember all that God has done—how He forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, and satisfies us—gratitude grows and our hearts are renewed. This message challenges us to bless the Lord in every season by remembering His goodness and choosing to worship Him with all that is within us.

In this message, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington walks through Psalm 32, showing how God transforms the burden of hidden sin into the joy of forgiven living. Discover how honest confession leads to restored fellowship with God, the security of His grace, and the freedom Christ died to give us.

In this message, Pastor PJ Noland of Collective Church unpacks the timeless truth of Psalm 23, revealing how Jesus, our Good Shepherd, faithfully provides for every need. Discover how the Shepherd meets our spiritual, directional, emotional, physical, and eternal needs, giving us confidence to walk through every season knowing we belong to Him.

Where does a Kingdom Man make his greatest impact? In this sermon from Psalm 128:1–6, we learn that a Kingdom Man lives under God's authority and seeks His Kingdom above all else. Pastor explores how godly influence begins with a man's personal walk with God and extends into his work, family, church, and community. Through practical biblical teaching, this message highlights the blessings and responsibilities that come from fearing the Lord and walking in His ways. Discover how pursuing God's righteousness can create a lasting impact for His glory in every area of life.

In this special interview-style sermon, Pastor PJ sits down with Pastor Greg Kirksey to discuss the vision, purpose, and impact of Rock Creek Church's Immerse Institute. Through an engaging conversation, they explore how the Institute is equipping believers for deeper spiritual growth, biblical understanding, and practical ministry. Pastor Greg shares insights from his experience, highlights the importance of discipleship and leadership development, and offers encouragement for anyone seeking to grow in their faith and calling.

Listen in as Pastor PJ Noland examines the life of King David, who “served the purpose of God in his own generation,” and consider what it means to live a life of lasting significance. This message, What Would Your Eulogy Say About You?, challenges us to remember the brevity of life, embrace God’s purpose above our own, and intentionally invest in others while we have the opportunity. When our lives are over, will we be remembered for serving ourselves or serving the purposes of God?

In our final sermon of the Back to Life: The Story of Lazarus Series, titled “Take Off the Grave Clothes,” Elder Joe Dunn explores Jesus’ command to “unbind him and let him go” and what it means for our lives today. While only Jesus has the power to give new life and true transformation, He also uses a loving community to help us identify and remove the “grave clothes” that still bind us. This message is a reminder that we need both the life-giving power of Jesus and the support of others as we walk in freedom.

Join Student Pastor Connor Alliston as we look at Lazarus stepping out of the tomb still wrapped in grave clothes—a powerful picture of how we can be made alive in Christ while still carrying things that keep us bound. This message challenges us to identify what’s restricting our walk, our work, and our witness, and invites us to let Jesus free us fully into the life He’s called us to live. What old grave clothes might still be clinging to you?

Join Lead Pastor, PJ Noland, as he looks at the moment when Lazarus walked out of the tomb, still wrapped in grave clothes, and what it reveals about our own spiritual journey. Salvation brings us from death to life instantly, but sanctification is the ongoing process of God transforming us into the image of Christ—positionally, progressively, and ultimately perfectly in eternity. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that God not only calls us out of the grave, but faithfully continues the work of making us new.

In week five of the “Brought Back to Life” series, Justin Harrell explores how real transformation often begins by confronting the hidden places in our lives we would rather keep covered. Through the story of Lazarus, this message reminds us that Jesus is not afraid of the mess, the smell, or the shame of our past, but instead calls us into freedom, healing, and new life. God’s transforming work requires surrender, repentance, and death to our old self so we can fully live in the new identity Christ has given us.

In this Back to Life – The Story of Lazarus sermon series, we explore Jesus’ call in John 11:43, “Lazarus, come out,” as a powerful reminder that God’s love calls us out of death, doubt, and shame into new life. While many believe in God’s love for others, this message challenges listeners to personally receive His agape love—unconditional, sacrificial, and not based on our worthiness. Ultimately, nothing can separate us from this love, which doesn’t just meet us where we are but transforms us into who we were created to be.

In this episode, we step into John 11:17 and explore what it means to be “in the tomb”—those dark, hidden, and often painful places in our lives where hope feels buried. Whether it’s grief, disappointment, unanswered questions, or lingering shame, these tombs can leave us feeling stuck and overwhelmed, yet they are not beyond the reach of Jesus.

Through Scripture and reflection, we see that God doesn’t waste these places. Instead, He uses them to transform us—strengthening our faith and teaching us deeper dependence on Him—and to reveal His nature as a faithful Deliverer. Wha...

In this episode, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington explores the tension between faith and waiting through John 11:1–7, where Jesus intentionally delays going to Lazarus. Though it seems confusing, His delay reveals a deeper truth: God’s love isn’t measured by His speed, and what feels like silence or disappointment is often the setup for a greater revelation of His glory.

As we walk through Martha’s grief and Jesus’ response, we’re reminded that waiting is not wasted—it’s transformative. When God doesn’t move on our timeline, He’s still working beneath the surface, strengthening our faith and prepar...

Pastor PJ jumps into a new sermon series Brought Back to Life. This episode explores the powerful story of Lazarus and what it reveals about our own lives and spiritual condition. Through John 11, we see that just like Lazarus, we are all in need of healing, hope, and the life-giving voice of Jesus. From the reality of our brokenness to the invitation of love and redemption, this message calls us to recognize our need and respond in faith. Join us as we discover how Jesus still calls us out of our tombs and into new life.

This sermon centers on the life-changing message of the cross: while it may seem foolish to some, it is the very power of God for salvation. Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we see God’s love in action—offering rescue to the lost, reconciliation to those separated from Him, and restoration through faith. The cross reminds us that no one is beyond God’s grace and that salvation is available to all who believe. Ultimately, it calls each person to respond by trusting in Christ and embracing the new life He offers.

In the sermon,The Table Before the Cross, with Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington, we see that communion is an intentional invitation from Jesus to remember His sacrifice, not just sit in proximity to Him—because you can be at the table and still miss the Savior without a surrendered heart. Through the bread and the cup, Jesus reveals Himself as our substitute and the source of a new covenant, calling us to respond with honesty, surrender, and a life that boldly proclaims His death and resurrection.

In this message, Because of Your Generous Giving, we see how God uses the obedience and sacrifice of His people to fuel life change, build community, and advance the Gospel. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 8–9, this sermon reminds us that giving is not transactional but transformational—an act of worship marked by generosity, intentionality, spiritual alignment, joy, and trust in God’s provision. Because of your giving, lives are being impacted, needs are being met, and the mission of Jesus is moving forward.

In this message from the series Because of You, PJ Noland, pastor of Collective Church, teaches on Because of Your Sacrificial Serving from John 13:1–5. Reflecting on Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, the sermon highlights that true serving is not just about actions but about cultivating the humble attitude of Christ. Drawing from passages like Philippians 2:1–8 and Mark 10:45, PJ reminds listeners that serving is central to the identity of every follower of Jesus. The message celebrates how sacrificial serving within the church helps immerse people in discipleship and reflects the heart of Christ to the world.

In this episode, PJ Noland, pastor of Collective Church, is joined by Justin Harrell and church member Bill Veuleman to reflect on how God has worked through the church in a new sermon series titled "Because of You." They discuss how a shared passion for people has helped connect hearts to the Gospel and build a culture of discipleship and community. Rooted in passages like 1 Thessalonians 3:7–9, Luke 19:10, and Psalm 147:3, the conversation highlights the joy and encouragement that comes from seeing lives changed through faith. The episode celebrates how God continues to seek the lost, heal the brokenhearted, and work th...

In this episode of Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage, we explore The Commitment of Purity through Genesis 2:24–25 and 3:7–10. Discover how God’s design for oneness—once marked by openness and no shame—was fractured by sin, secrecy, and hiding, and how purity restores intimacy in marriage. We unpack what it means to live as people chosen and called to be holy in a contaminated world, resisting worldliness while walking as children of light. Join us as we learn that secrecy is the enemy of intimacy—and that true kingdom marriages are built on confessio...

In this message from Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage series, Justin Harrell, the Men's Discipleship Pastor, Explores The Commitment of Partnership. Inspired by Ephesians 5:25, this episode challenges couples to reflect on whether they love with expectations—or with the same grace Jesus shows us when we bring nothing to the table. It unpacks how true kingdom marriage mirrors Christ’s covenant love: steadfast, unbreakable, and anchored in reverence for Him. With wisdom on mutual submission, healthy margin, and the refining prayer of Psalm 139:23, this conversation calls couples to love not out of oblig...

In this message from the Kingdom Marriage: Four Kingdom Commitments for Building a Stronger Marriage series, we explore The Commitment of Pursuit rooted in Genesis 2:24. A Kingdom Marriage is a husband and wife functioning together under God’s rule, where the husband lovingly pursues his wife while both pursue God above all else. Drawing from Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, and Proverbs, this sermon unpacks the biblical meaning of “dabaq”—to cling with affection and devotion—and challenges couples to express love intentionally through words and actions. Singles are also called to shift their focus from finding the right person to becomin...

In this episode of Kingdom Marriage, we begin a powerful series on the Four Kingdom Commitments by exploring The Commitment of Priority. Grounded in Matthew 22:37, this message unpacks what it means to place God first and your spouse second, establishing order, peace, and clarity in marriage under God’s authority. You’ll learn how protecting biblical priorities—leaving, cleaving, and loving sacrificially—builds a stronger, Christ-centered marriage. This sermon challenges couples and singles alike to seek God first while preparing for a healthy, God-honoring union.

In this episode of Seek First the Kingdom, we tackle a battle every believer faces: worry. Drawing from Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus’ three clear commands—do not worry—invite us to trust the Father who knows our needs and cares for every detail of our lives. We explore the meaning of worry as something that pulls us apart and discover how Jesus calls us to win the war with worry by repositioning our priorities, refocusing our faith, and learning to relax in God’s provision. As we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, we’re reminded that tomorrow is in His hands—and to...

In this message from the Seek First the Kingdom series, Student Pastor Connor Alliston unpacks Jesus’ words from Matthew 6:30, “Why do you have so little faith?”, exploring how oligopistos faith is often shaped by circumstances, fear, and misplaced limits on God. Through Scripture, we see that true biblical faith is not wishful thinking or blind optimism, but confident obedience to God’s Word despite uncertain outcomes. This sermon invites listeners to seek first the Kingdom and discover how God grows our faith through communion with Him, renewed perspective, and enduring trials.

In this message from the Seek First The Kingdom series, “Who’s Your Master?”, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 and the heart behind Matthew 6:33. Jesus makes it clear: it’s not wrong to have possessions—but it is dangerous when possessions have us. This sermon examines how money and material things can subtly enslave our hearts, minds, and wills, pulling our devotion away from God. By unpacking Jesus’ teaching on treasure, vision, and masters, we’re reminded that wealth itself isn’t evil—but it makes a terrible master. True freedom is found when we seek first God’s Kingdom and allow Him...

As a new year begins, we often chase change through effort and resolutions, only to find ourselves unchanged and discouraged. In this message from Seek First The Kingdom, we explore Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33 to focus on the one thing that truly leads to an abundant life—actively seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness above all else. Discover how misplaced priorities, worry, and divided devotion distract us, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus realigns everything else.

Listen in as our Equipping Pastor, Shane Harrington, teaches that at Christmas, God made Himself known through Jesus—fully God in the flesh—because, on our own, humanity could never truly see or understand Him. Drawing from John 1:14–18, this message reveals Jesus as the perfect and complete revelation of the Father, showing us God’s heart through grace, truth, compassion, and sacrifice. The sermon calls us to keep Jesus at the center of our lives by knowing Him, trusting Him, worshiping Him, and reflecting His light so others can know God.

In this message from the Presence-Centered Christmas series, Pastor PJ Noland explores the breathtaking truth of John 1:14–18 that in Jesus, God came near—full of grace and truth. Christmas is the celebration of Emmanuel, “God with us,” revealing that His presence is our greatest need and His deepest desire.

This sermon centers on the gift of salvation by grace alone. From Christ’s fullness, we receive “grace upon grace”—not earned by works, but freely given through faith. Through God’s grace, we are born again as children of God, our eyes are opened to see His glory, and we are...

In this message from the Presence-Centered Christmas series, Justin Harrell unpacks the powerful truth of John 1:14—that God did not remain distant, but came near in the person of Jesus. From Genesis to the manger, Scripture reveals God’s heart to dwell among His people, ultimately fulfilled in Christ, Emmanuel, “God with us.”

This sermon explores the marks of a Christ-centered Christmas: worship and awe, hope that overcomes darkness, Spirit-filled joy, trust in God’s perfect timing, true peace, humility, and the call to reconciliation. We’re reminded that Christmas is not about pressure or performance, but about presen...

In this message from Joe Dunn we explore what biblical accountability truly is—and what it is not. This is our final message in our series Family Matters—The Church: God’s Family that Lasts. Rather than judgment, pride, or legalism, accountability within God’s family is rooted in love, humility, and a desire to see one another restored. Scripture reminds us that all believers are accountable to God and called to support, encourage, and gently restore one another. Ultimately, the goal of biblical accountability is freedom from sin and a stronger, healthier family of faith.

In this sermon, Unity in the Family of God, we explore Jesus’ prayer for His followers to be one and Paul’s call for believers to live in harmony as members of God’s household. Drawing from John 17 and Romans 15, we discover why unity is essential for the church’s witness and spiritual strength. Listeners will be encouraged to pray for unity, pursue peace, and practice love in tangible ways that reflect Christ to the world. Together, we learn how a united church can do far more for the Kingdom than a divided one.

In this message from Family Matters: The Church – God’s Family That Lasts, we explore how God lovingly leads His family through Jesus Christ, the true head of the Church. Rooted in Ephesians 5:23, the sermon unpacks the three primary channels of Christ’s leadership: the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the leaders God calls to shepherd His people. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of biblical leadership—pastors, elders, and overseers—and how godly character and Spirit-led guidance shape a healthy church family. Ultimately, this episode reminds us that while every church must be led, every church fam...

In Family Matters: Serving in the Family, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington explores what it truly means to serve in the family through the lens of Galatians 5:13–15. Freedom in Christ isn’t a license for selfishness—it’s an invitation to love through service. Shane unpacks three powerful truths about freedom, love, and unity in God’s family, reminding us that love builds while selfishness destroys. Discover how to live out your freedom by serving others, building relationships, and living on mission together.

In Family Matters: The Family of God, Pastor PJ Noland shares how the Church is more than a gathering—it’s a family we’re called to belong to, not just believe in. Through fellowship, growth, and shared purpose, we reflect God’s design for His household. When each of us brings our best to the table, the Church becomes a living picture of God’s love and unity in action.

Many Christians have heard — and maybe even said — the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But what if that’s not actually true? In this message, Pastor PJ Noland unpacks 1 Corinthians 10:12–13 to reveal that God often allows us to face more than we can bear on our own — not to break us, but to draw us closer to Him. Discover how God’s faithfulness provides strength, escape, and purpose even in life’s overwhelming moments, teaching us to depend on His power rather than our own.

In this message, Student Pastor, Connor Alliston continues the series “Lies: Common Clichés Christians Believe” by addressing the phrase “God Gained Another Angel.” Together, we’ll explore why this comforting but unbiblical idea has taken root and what Scripture actually teaches about angels and eternity. Discover the real hope believers have—not in becoming angels, but in the promise of being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

In this message, Pastor PJ Noland reminds us that generosity isn’t about what’s in our wallets—it’s about what’s in our minds and hearts. Using 2 Corinthians 8:1–2, he challenges the “I can’t afford to give” mindset and calls us to trust that God can do more with our 90% and His blessing than we can with 100% on our own. When we give, we reflect the very heart of God—because love gives.
