Confident Dating In A Complicated World

Dating today is confusing, exhausting, and often shaped more by culture than conviction.

Whether you’re single, dating, married, or supporting others who are, this message offers clarity, hope, and a better foundation for relationships that last.

Red Flags You Can't Afford To Miss

Most relationships don’t fall apart overnight—they break down slowly through ignored warning signs. In this part two of Relationship Refresh, you learn how to expose two dangerous dynamics that quietly destroy relationships: passivity and control. Whether you’re dating, married, or single, you’ll learn how to recognize unhealthy patterns, why they matter, and how turning your heart back to God can bring healing, clarity, and hope—no matter where you are today.
VERSES // 1 Kings 21

Breaking Unhealthy Patterns

Why do we keep repeating the same cycles in our relationships with those closest to us—even when we desperately want change? In John 5, Jesus asks a man who had been stuck for 38 years a confronting question: “Do you want to get well?”
This message challenges the lies we believe, the excuses we cling to, and the patterns that quietly keep us stuck. Healing is possible—but it often requires movement, honesty, and a willingness to do something different. If you’re ready to stop repeating the past and step into real freedom, this message is for you.
VERSES // John 5v1-9, Romans 12v2

Christmas Eve At Church Story

Christmas Eve Message At Church Story with Pastor Wes Jackson

Loved Before You Loved

What if Christmas isn’t just a season—but the greatest love story ever told? The most famous love stories often end in loss, separation, or death. The Christmas story is different. It doesn’t begin with “once upon a time”—it begins with “For God so loved the world.” And unlike every other love story, this one doesn’t end at the grave.
In this message, you’ll hear how the arrival of Jesus reveals the unconditional, sacrificial love of God—a love that existed before time began, entered our broken world, and continues to pursue us today. Christmas boldly answers one of our deepest questions:
Does God really love me?
The answer is a resounding YES!
VERSES // 1 John 4v7-21; Galatians 4v4-5; John 3v16-17; Isaiah 9v6

Joy When Life Falls Apart

What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you hoped—especially during the Christmas season? 
 
In this Advent message, we’ll look at the arrival of Jesus and the good news of great joy announced to ordinary shepherds in the middle of unmet expectations, uncertainty, and hardship. Christmas reminds us that joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances—it’s found in the presence of a Savior who chose to step into our mess.
Whether you’re carrying disappointment, grief, anxiety, or exhaustion, this message explores how joy is more than an emotion—it’s a choice, rooted in the good news of what God has done for us in Christ.
If life feels like it’s falling apart, this message is for you.
VERSES // Luke 2v8-20, Acts 2v2, Acts 9v3, 2 Corinthians 7v4, Colossians 1v24, James 1v2, Philippians 3v8, Hebrews 12v2

Promised Peace For The Restless Soul

In a season covered in the word peace, many of us feel anything but peaceful. Anxiety, pressure, fear, and the weight of the world can overwhelm the soul. But Jesus, the Prince of Peace, promises a peace the world can’t give and the world can’t take away. In week two of Advent, Wes Jackson unpacks why peace feels so elusive, and how surrender—not control—is the surprising pathway to a restful soul.
If you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or longing for peace, this message is for you.

When Hope Breaks In

In this Advent message, we explore how hope isn’t something we wait to feel; it is Someone who has already come near. When life feels delayed, heavy, or uncertain, Advent reminds us that Jesus steps directly into the places that seem hopeless. We look at how His arrival in a broken world reveals God’s timing, presence, and promise. And we discover that because Jesus came once, hope is already breaking in right now, and one day, Jesus will return to make all things new.

Patience In The Pain

What if the frustration you’re feeling is the very thing God is using to form something valuable in you? In part nine of Grit & Grace, you will discover why patience isn’t passive—it’s endurance. It’s the middle space between desire and fulfillment where God does His deepest work.
VERSES // James 5v7-20

When Losing Control Is Best

Are you a planner? How do you respond when your plans change unexpectedly? In part eight of Grit & Grace, a study through the book of James, you find out how to live with a healthy perspective toward plans for your future, with emphasis on your wealth.
