If you’re new to church, money talk can feel… gross. We get it. This message starts with a simple question: Why are we giving at all? Psalm 50 shows us God isn’t asking because He’s in need—He’s after our hearts, our worship, and our participation in something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re ready to jump in or just checking things out, we’re glad you’re here.
VERSES // Psalm 50v8-23, Romans 10v1-15, Malachi 3v10

Does God really bless generosity? Yes. But not the way you think. In this teaching, we confront the myths of prosperity preaching while embracing the truth of Scripture: God multiplies what we sow — financially, spiritually, eternally. The question isn’t “Should I give?” The question is “Do I trust Him?”
VERSES // 2 Corinthians 9v6-15, Matthew 6v21

In Luke 19, you see a man who chased money, status, and control — and still came up empty. What he thought would be a glimpse turned into a life-altering encounter. 
If you’ve ever felt spiritually restless…If you’ve built success but still feel empty…If you’re unsure whether Jesus would really want anything to do with you…
This story is for you.
VERSES // Luke 19v1-10

Have you ever felt bored in church… or like your faith has gone from “all in” to “just showing up”? In part one of The Next Chapter, you’ll hear about a generational, faith-filled next step for Church Story. One marked by sacrifice, God’s glory, prayer, and a future bigger than today. Together, we’re asking God to do what only He can do—because He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

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

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 Message At Church Story with Pastor Wes Jackson

Dec 22, 2025

43 min

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
