John Swadley | Matthew 14:22-33

In this week’s message, Pastor John dives into the story of Jesus walking on water and the disciples caught in a terrifying storm. The big takeaway? Being in the middle of God’s will doesn’t mean life will be easy—sometimes, He leads us right into the storm to build our faith.

This message reminds us: storms aren’t a sign of God’s absence. They’re often His invitation to experience His presence and power more deeply.

Kirk Baker | Jonah 1:1-9

This week’s message dives into the story of Jonah, a prophet who ran from God’s call… and ran straight into a storm.

Through Jonah’s journey, we discover how divine interruptions aren’t setbacks—they’re God’s way of getting our attention, proving His presence, and revealing His purpose. Whether it’s through storms, unexpected detours, or even giant fish, God is always at work—calling us back, shaping our faith, and showing that no matter how far we run, He never leaves.

Even in chaos, He is sovereign. Even in disobedience, He offers grace. And in every interruption, He invites us to trust Him more.

John Swadley | Genesis 50:20

In this kickoff message of Divine Interruptions, we explore how God often interrupts our plans not to harm us—but to work something greater. Pastor John dives into the life of Joseph, who went from favored son to slave to prisoner, only to be elevated to second-in-command in Egypt. The twist? What others meant for evil, God meant for good.

Like Joseph, we face real struggles, but God is working behind the scenes—often long before we know we need help. Whether you’re in a pit or just waiting for purpose, trust the bigger story. God’s not done yet.

John Swadley | 1 John 2:1-2

What’s the core idea of the Bible? In this powerful message, Pastor John takes us to the heart of the gospel: substitutionary atonement.

We all understand justice—when something is broken, it must be paid for. But the beauty of the Christian faith is that Jesus paid the debt we owed. He didn’t wait for us to climb our way up to God. He came down to us. He took our place.

The gospel isn’t about “do,” it’s about “done.” Because of Jesus, you don’t have to run from God. You can run to Him. That’s the core idea.

John Swadley | 2 Kings 13:20-21

Even after Elisha died, God used his bones to bring a man back to life. Why? Because legacy lives on.

In this message, we’re reminded that faith is meant to be passed down. Like a torch in a relay, your influence can outlast your life—if you choose to invest in others, give generously, and live in a way that proves God is real.

Don’t settle for titles—live for testimonies. Pass the torch. Leave a legacy.

John Swadley | Deuteronomy 1:2–8

An 11-day journey took 40 years—and the same can happen to us when we settle for less than God’s best. In this message, we’re challenged to stop wandering, break camp, and step into the life God has already prepared.

Declare it:

I’m tired of living with less.

I’m ready to imagine more.

I will take what God has given me.

Don’t wait 40 years for what God wants to do now.
