Soul Decor | Soul Care | Pastor Jason Hitte 03.01.2026

What kind of soul do you have? When we call someone a “beautiful soul,” we’re usually talking about what flows from within—love, kindness, generosity, patience, compassion. But many of us are living with souls that feel empty, neglected, dirty, or even fake—like a house no one has taken time to care for. In this message, we explore the powerful metaphor of soul décor: the difference between a house and a hotel, why you can’t let everyone into your home, and how spiritual and emotional maturity go hand in hand. God isn’t focused on outward appearance—He cares about the condition of your inner life. You were created to reflect Jesus in this world, to walk into rooms and make them better, not just blend into the atmosphere. It’s time to stop neglecting your soul, stop living disconnected, and start cultivating a life that is full, authentic, and alive.

A Fruitful Soul | Soul Care | Maddie Park 02.22.2026

How often do we measure fruitfulness by what we accomplish instead of what God is forming within us? In this week’s message, we’re reminded that we are no longer called to strive under the pressure of performance, but to live rooted in grace, led by the Holy Spirit, and connected to the true Vine. A fruitful soul isn’t built in public achievement but in private surrender, staying planted in God’s Word, trusting His timing in every season, and believing that apart from Him we can do nothing. If you’ve been weary from trying to earn God’s love or prove your worth, this message is an invitation to lay down the outcomes, remain in His presence, and allow Him to produce lasting fruit in and through your life.

Guard Your Heart | Soul Care | Pastor Jason Hitte 02.15.2026

Scripture tells us in Proverbs 4:23 to guard our hearts above all else, because it determines the course of our lives. Healthy souls require healthy boundaries, godly discernment, and intentional protection over what we see, hear, and say. This message is a practical and powerful reminder that guarding your soul isn’t anyone else’s responsibility, it’s yours. It’s time to build healthy walls, set wise boundaries, and take ownership of your spiritual and emotional health. Guard your heart.

Foundation First | Soul Care | Pastor Jason Hitte 02.08.2026

This week’s message opens with a lighthearted Vermont vacation story that leads into a deeply personal truth: many of us devalue ourselves even though we’re made in God’s image. Just like a child’s coloring page was already “good enough,” when God made you, He called it good. A healthy soul doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built, and it always starts with the right foundation. Through Scripture and real-life imagery, we’re reminded that identity must come before activity, and that our value isn’t based on feelings, performance, or others’ opinions, but on what God says about us. Stop calling trash what God calls treasure, foundation first.

Learning to Love Me: You Are Worth the Work! | Soul Care | Pastor John Brockman 02.01.2026

This week in Learning to Love Me: You Are Worth the Work, we explore what the soul really is, why it gets neglected even in faithful, busy lives, and how a healthy soul begins with seeing yourself the way God sees you. Scripture shows us that soul care isn’t self-centered but soul-aware, anchored in God’s Word, restored by His grace, and rooted in the truth that you are chosen, loved, delighted in, and worth redeeming. This message invites you to stop treating yourself as disposable and learn to rest in God’s acceptance, presence, and unshakable love.

Alignment for My Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.25.2026

The more we learn about God, the more we realize He is both knowable and inexhaustible, meticulous in design, intentional in purpose, and perfect in timing. This message reminds us that nothing in our lives is random: God orders creation, governs every detail, and cares deeply for each of us, down to the smallest thing. As Scripture calls us to live wisely and with intention in a misaligned world, we’re challenged to realign our lives with God’s purpose and with the right people, because we were created for community, strengthened in relationships, and called to walk with precision, direction, and faith.

Alignment Brings Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jase Hitte 01.18.2026

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck, this message is for you. Many of us love Jesus, yet still live overwhelmed because we’re carrying burdens we were never meant to hold. In this sermon, we discover that peace doesn’t come from trying harder, but from aligning our lives under God’s authority. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, we’re reminded that Jesus has all authority and nothing in our lives outranks Him. From anxiety and fear to parenting pressures, uncertainty, and spiritual fatigue, alignment shifts us from self-dependence to surrender, from fear to faith. This message calls us to realignment, deeper submission, and obedient trust, showing us that God’s authority isn’t just for protection, it’s for purpose. When we submit to God, resist the enemy, and speak His truth, we don’t just survive, we walk forward in the authority Jesus has already given us.

Alignment Before Assignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.11.2026

An important reminder for us that as we begin this new year and especially during 21 Days of Prayer, there is nothing more important than aligning our lives with God’s will, Word, and purpose before rushing into what we want to do for Him; through Isaiah’s powerful encounter with the Lord in Isaiah 6, we see that calling flows from alignment, formation, and then assignment, and that God is far more concerned with who we are becoming than what we are accomplishing because when we slow down, seek Him first, and allow Him to form our character, He will be the One who sends us into our next season with His power and presence.

Divine Alignment | Divine Alignment | Pastor Jason Hitte 01.04.2026

As we begin a brand-new year, we’re launching a new series called Divine Alignment, starting with a powerful message reminding us the most important thing you can do at the start of 2026 is get in alignment with God. Rooted in Psalm 37, this message reminds us that while we may stumble, we don’t fall, because the Lord directs the steps of the godly and holds us by the hand. We declare that 2026 is the year of alignment, alignment with God’s heart, His Word, His people, and His vision for your life and in this message, you’ll hear a clear call to live with purpose, walk in agreement with God, and get into position for a great year ahead.

Daily Yes | Pastor Jase Hitte 12.28.2025

This message reminds us that stepping into a new year isn’t about bigger goals or stronger resolutions, it’s about faithfulness in the small, daily moments. Drawing from Luke 16 and John 15, we’re challenged to see that real spiritual growth isn’t built on intensity, but on consistency. If 2026 is going to be a year of true growth, alignment, and closeness with God, it will be built on a simple but powerful choice: your Daily Yes. Join us as we reflect on God’s faithfulness, release the pressure of perfection, and discover how daily dependence on Jesus leads to lasting change.
