Life In The Spirit

In this powerful message, Pastor Jay sounds the alarm on one of the most deceptive spiritual dangers, pride and self-reliance. Pride doesn’t always appear as arrogance; it often begins quietly, when dependence on God weakens and self-confidence replaces surrender. Yet there is hope, pride ends when we humble ourselves before the Lord. Revival begins not when we rise up, but when we bow down in surrender, declaring, “God, I need You.”

In this timely and convicting message, Pastor Jay exposes one of the enemy’s most effective strategies against the church, the danger of division and offense. Using Scripture and practical insight, he reveals how offense is the seed from which division grows, how pride deepens wounds by preventing forgiveness, and how disunity weakens the church’s witness to a watching world. Yet, through humility, forgiveness, and Christlike love, the church can silence the enemy, heal relationships, and shine brightly again as one body under Christ.

In this message, Pastor Jay sounds the alarm on one of the greatest spiritual threats facing the modern church, the danger of lukewarmness. Drawing from Jesus’ words to the church of Laodicea in Revelation, Pastor Jay exposes how comfort can quietly replace commitment, how passion fades into routine, and how purpose is lost when believers grow spiritually apathetic. Discover how to rekindle your spiritual fire, return to your first love, and let the Holy Spirit ignite a renewed passion for God’s presence and purpose in your life.

In part two of A Clear and Present Danger, Pastor Jay Tyler sounds the alarm on the danger of moral compromise, the slow erosion of conviction that leads to spiritual decay. Drawing from Daniel’s faith in Babylon and Jesus’ warning to the church at Pergamos, Pastor Jay exposes how compromise begins when conviction weakens, grows when culture becomes our standard, and spreads when sin is tolerated instead of confronted. Yet there is hope, compromise ends when believers choose courage over comfort. This message is a powerful call to wake up, stand firm, and live with bold conviction in a compromising world.

In this powerful opening message of the series A Clear and Present Danger, Pastor Jay Tyler sounds the spiritual alarm about one of the greatest threats facing believers today, deception. From the Garden of Eden to our modern culture, Satan’s oldest strategy has always been to twist God’s truth with subtle lies. Pastor Jay exposes how deception often looks like truth, spreads through spiritual neglect, and can only be resisted through vigilance in God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. This message calls every believer to wake up, stay grounded, and stand firm in the truth that sets us free.

In this message, Pastor Jay Tyler concludes the Walking by Faith series by reminding us that faith isn’t a one time decision, it’s a daily lifestyle. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight,” he teaches that true faith trusts God beyond what we can see, obeys Him day by day, endures through life’s trials, and keeps its eyes fixed on eternity. Faith isn’t about ignoring reality, it’s about believing God’s promises even when circumstances say otherwise. This message calls us to live every moment by faith, not fear; by promise, not sight.

In this message from our Walking by Faith series, Pastor Jay explores what it truly means to have “faith that moves mountains.” Drawing from Matthew 17 and Mark 11, we see that Jesus wasn’t calling us to have a giant, flawless faith, but a genuine, mustard-seed kind of faith, small yet powerful when placed in a great God. Pastor Jay reminds us that real faith doesn’t ignore our problems; it confronts them, looks to God instead of the obstacle, speaks His Word with confidence, and acts boldly in prayer. No matter how impossible the situation appears, the size of your mountain doesn’t matter, what matters is the size of your God.

In this episode, we’re talking about Faith in the Fire. Walking by faith isn’t just about believing when life feels easy, it’s about trusting God when the heat is turned up. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, our faith will be tested, but those fiery moments don’t come to destroy us; they come to refine us. Real faith says, “I won’t bow, even if it costs me.” It chooses God over compromise, trusts Him with the outcome, and finds His presence right in the middle of the flames. And here’s the good news God may not always keep you out of the fire, but He will always meet you in it. When your faith stands firm, even in the fire, your life becomes a testimony that brings glory to God.

In this first part of the Walking by Faith series, we explore what true biblical faith really is. The Bible says it’s impossible, not just difficult, to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). But faith is more than just belief. Belief acknowledges truth, but faith acts on it. Abraham didn’t just believe God’s promises; he left home and followed. The heroes of Hebrews 11 weren’t remembered for what they believed, but for what they did by faith. Many today confuse belief with saving faith, but Scripture is clear: we are saved by grace through faith, a faith marked by repentance, surrender, obedience, and transformation. The question is not simply, “Do you believe in Jesus?” The real question is: “Have you placed your faith in Him, turning from sin, surrendering to His Lordship, and living daily by faith?”

In part four of our Come and See, Go and Tell series, we explore what it means to be the light of the world. Jesus has not only saved us but also sent us. Evangelism isn’t optional, it’s the mission of every believer. We are not stuck where we are; we are sent to shine in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Even small acts, like a prayer, a kind word, or an invitation can have eternal impact. Your mission field begins at the end of your driveway. The question isn’t if you’re sent, but how you’ll respond. Today is the day to shine for Jesus and carry His light into a dark world.

When Jesus called Peter and Andrew by the Sea of Galilee, He wasn’t inviting them to a casual belief, He was summoning them to leave everything and follow Him. That same call reaches us today: to drop our nets, burn the ships, and step fully into His mission of being fishers of men. Discover how new life in Christ, the empowering of the Holy Spirit, and total surrender equip us to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and share His gospel with boldness.

Pastor Jay Tyler continues the series Come and See, Go and Tell with part two: Empowered to Be a Witness. Jesus never intended us to carry out His mission in our own strength. He promised us the power of the Holy Spirit, power to boldly share the gospel starting where we are and reaching to the ends of the earth. Join us as we discover the promise, the purpose, the plan, and the partnership of the Spirit’s power that makes us effective witnesses for Christ today.

In this first message of the Come & See, Go & Tell series, Pastor Jay Tyler challenges us to see people the way Jesus sees them. From Matthew 9:35–38, we discover five key insights into Christ’s heart for the lost: He was among the people, saw their needs, felt compassion, recognized the potential of the harvest, and called His disciples to pray and go. This message reminds us that the gospel begins with an invitation to “come and see,” but it must lead us to “go and tell.” If we truly see what Jesus sees and feel what He feels, we cannot stay where we are, we must go into the harvest field.

In this challenging yet grace filled message, Pastor Jay Tyler confronts a sobering reality: it's possible to identify as a Christian without truly following Jesus. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 and other key scriptures, this sermon calls us to examine our faith beyond cultural labels and outward appearances. Are we carrying Christ’s name without carrying His cross? Are we professing faith without possession, practicing religion without relationship? Discover the five biblical marks of being a "Christian In Name Only," and hear the call to move from casual belief to committed discipleship. This message isn’t about condemnation, it’s an invitation to authentic, surrendered, Spirit filled living.

In the final message of our You Asked For It series, we tackled multiple questions submitted by our church family. We briefly explored what the Bible says about guardian angels, divorce and remarriage, the application of biblical promises, and whether God still speaks through dreams and visions. Then we took a deeper dive into one of the most requested topics: What does the Bible say about alcohol? While the Bible doesn’t forbid alcohol outright, it clearly condemns drunkenness and warns of the dangers of impairment, loss of self-control, and spiritual compromise. We contrasted the fleeting effects of alcohol with the life-giving, peace-filled, joy-producing power of the Holy Spirit. In a world reaching for relief in all the wrong places, we are called to be filled with the Spirit, not influenced by a counterfeit. This message is a call to evaluate our motives, pursue holiness, and be a Spirit-filled witness in a world desperate for something real.

In this week’s message, Pastor Jay Tyler tackles a powerful and practical question submitted by the congregation: "How can you tell the difference between intuition and discernment?" We learn that intuition is natural and shaped by our emotions and experiences, while discernment is a spiritual gift that comes from the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture and examples like King Saul and Joseph, Pastor Jay contrasts the danger of self-deception with the clarity that comes from spiritual humility and surrender. This message reminds us that discernment grows in the soil of humility, not pride. True discernment begins with a heart fully submitted to God, rooted in His Word, guided by prayer, and strengthened by obedience.

In this episode, we explore one of the most frequently asked and eternally significant questions: What will heaven be like? Pastor Jay tackles the misconceptions and myths that often surround our view of heaven, no, we won’t be floating on clouds or turning into angels! Instead, Scripture paints a rich, hope filled picture of heaven as a real, prepared place where God dwells with His people. We discuss questions like: Will we recognize our loved ones? Will we remember our earthly lives? Will we have responsibilities in heaven? And most importantly—how can we be sure we’ll get there?

What does it mean to be saved? By walking through eight key questions, Pastor Jay unpacks what we’re saved from, why we need saving, who can be saved, and how we respond to the grace of God. Drawing from powerful Scripture and real-life examples, Pastor Jay explains that salvation isn’t just about going to heaven, it’s about being rescued from sin, made new by the Holy Spirit, and restored to God’s purpose for our lives. Whether you're new to faith or need a fresh reminder of God’s saving power, this message will help you understand and clearly communicate the life changing truth of the gospel.

In this episode of our "You Asked For It" series, we tackle one of the toughest and most heartfelt questions: “If God is good and powerful, why does He allow evil and suffering?” From Scripture and real-life struggles, we explore how the Bible addresses this question through the stories of David, Job, Habakkuk, and ultimately, Jesus. We look at how free will, God's patience, and His redemptive purposes all play a role, and how the promise of eternal restoration gives us hope in the midst of pain. If you’re hurting or searching for answers, this message is for you.

In this episode, Pastor Jay Tyler answers a tough question from the congregation: “What does the Bible say about being unequally yoked in marriage?” We dive into 2 Corinthians 6:14 and 1 Corinthians 7 to explore God’s design for spiritual alignment in relationships. Whether you're single, dating, or already married to an unbeliever, this message offers clarity, conviction, and compassion.
