The Intervention: Addressing What Stands Before You and God

About the Sermon

Revival requires ruthless honesty. Ezekiel confronts the leaders of Israel for harboring idols in their hearts—hidden things that compete with God for their devotion. Today, we face similar challenges: success, comfort, relationships, or approval that can take God’s rightful place in our lives. True revival happens when we identify these idols and surrender them completely to God’s authority.

Buried with Christ

In Part 1 of this two-week series, Pastor Ryan walks through Romans 6 and what it really means to be buried with Christ in baptism. This isn’t just a symbol or a moment—it’s a turning point. A line in the sand where the old life is left behind.

The Cost of Love

Love always costs something.

We say things like “I’ve got you” or “I’m all in”—but what happens when the cost actually comes due?

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan walks through the story of Peter in John 18–21—a man full of confidence who boldly declared he would die for Jesus… and then denied Him three times in a moment of pressure.

Sunday’s Coming

Some moments divide your life into before and after. That space where something has already happened—but the outcome hasn’t arrived yet. The place where you’re stuck between what was and what will be. Waiting. Wondering. Hoping Sunday actually comes. In John 20, Pastor Ryan walks through three real people—Mary, the disciples, and Thomas—each stuck in their own version of Saturday.
