Most people do not wake up feeling like a key player in a divine plan. Life often feels ordinary, repetitive, and routine. Yet the early church gained momentum and reshaped the world through people who were just like you.
In Acts 17, we meet Jason, a man who had been following Jesus for only three weeks when his faith began to cost him something. His story reminds us that God does not use perfect people, He uses sincere ones. Faith that makes room for Jesus in everyday life has a way of being noticed, tested, and used by God in powerful ways.
This message explores how God works through ordinary people who live with sincerity, devotion, and quiet faithfulness.
Scriptures:
Acts 17:1-9 (NLT)
Acts 2:42-47 (NLT)

Hebrews 2 shows Jesus forming a family. Hebrews 3 and 4 lead us toward true rest. Hebrews 10 opens the way into God’s presence. Hebrews 11 shows imperfect people who trusted Him.

Ever feel like you can’t stop overthinking? Like your mind just won’t turn off? This message is all about how to get out of your own head and start replacing lies with God’s truth.
So many of us live with thoughts that God never spoke. Fear, shame, insecurity, and “what if” spirals. They move into our minds like they own the place. But Romans 12:2 tells us transformation starts by renewing our mind. You can’t live a transformed life with an untransformed mind.
In this message, Pastor Tim Snider teaches how to recognize, reject, and replace the lies that have been taking up space in your thoughts. Because not every thought that knocks on the door of your mind deserves a key.
When Jesus was tempted, He didn’t just think truth—He spoke it. That same power is available to you today.
Learn how to:
• Identify thoughts that aren’t from God
• Speak Scripture to silence lies
• Fill your mind with truth so peace can take over
It’s time to evict the enemy from your head and invite God’s Word to move in.

Everyone is searching for peace, but the Bible calls it rest. Not sleep. Not vacation. Not escape. A soul-level rest that only comes through Jesus.
In Hebrews 3 and 4, God warns us that we can hear His Word, go to church, and still miss the rest He offers if we never respond in faith. This message explores what it means to enter God’s rest, why people in the Old Testament missed it, and how
Jesus invites us into a deeper, settled relationship with Him.

Why did Jesus become human? In Week 2 of Decoded, we explore one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: God didn’t stay distant, He entered our world.
Jesus became human not just to model perfection, but to fix what sin broke. From Genesis to Hebrews, we see God’s plan unfold: humanity was created in His image, designed to live with purpose, honor, and authority. But when sin distorted that reflection, God’s response wasn’t to abandon us—it was to become one of us.
Hebrews 2 reveals that Jesus became human to taste death for everyone, breaking the power of sin and fear once and for all. He’s not only the better human; He’s the better Savior, the better priest, and the better sacrifice. Because of Him, you can live restored, free, and in full relationship with your Creator.

We’ll see how:
Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory (Hebrews 1:3)

Faith means trusting that Jesus is better even when life isn’t

Why do we keep fighting about the same things? Every couple faces conflict, but James 4:1–3 shows the real issue isn’t your spouse or your stress. “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?”
In this message, Pastor Tyler unpacks James 4 and Galatians 6 to show how to stop fighting in your relationships by shifting the fight from each other to what’s happening inside us. We want love, respect, and peace — but when we don’t get it, we try to control instead of pray. James says, “You do not have because you do not ask God.”
Healthy relationships aren’t about keeping score; they’re about sharing burdens, not behaviors. Galatians 6:2 challenges us to “share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”
If your relationships feel stuck in tension or silence, this message will help you reset your approach and rediscover peace — not by fixing the other person, but by letting God transform your heart.

When your mind won’t stop racing and life feels like it’s moving faster than your soul can keep up, peace can seem out of reach. You’ve tried praying harder, taking a break, or booking that next vacation—but nothing seems to quiet the chaos inside.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt unpacks what James 3 and Philippians 4 teach us about how to find peace of mind. Real peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances—it’s made in the middle of ordinary moments when we invite God into our thoughts and actions.
When we challenge thoughts of fear, jealousy, and comparison, we make space for God’s wisdom to shape us from the inside out. And when we act on those thoughts by forgiving, slowing down, serving, and showing mercy, we become true peacemakers.
If you’ve been craving calm in your spirit, this message will help you experience peace that doesn’t depend on what’s happening around you.

Your words are powerful. James 3 compares the tongue to a rudder that steers a ship and a spark that can set a forest on fire. The truth is, your speech can either build up or tear down, and it all reveals what’s going on inside your heart.

When life falls apart, it can feel like God is against you. But James reminds us that testing and temptation aren’t the same thing—and God is not the source of your sabotage. He’s the source of every good and perfect gift.
In this message, we unpack the difference between the pressures that hit you from the outside and the desires that rise up inside of you, showing how endurance leads to blessing. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels so heavy—or questioned God’s role in it—you’ll find hope and clarity here.

Money pressures us all. Some days you feel broke, some days you feel secure. But is life really better when you’re rich than when you’re poor? James 1:9-11 challenges the normal train of thought. The poor should boast because God honors them, and the rich should boast because God humbles them.
In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt unpacks what James means and shows how both poverty and wealth can test our trust in God. You’ll hear stories of God’s provision, explore the difference between shame and humility, and discover why true peace isn’t found in money but in Jesus.
When you feel poor—don’t worry.
When you feel rich—don’t worship.
Always trust God, and use what you have to do good.

When life gets messy, it’s natural to want quick relief and fix it yourself. Stress at work, conflict at home, pressure in your finances. Just fix it! In those moments, the Bible gives us better instruction: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.” (James 1:5 NLT)
In this message, Pastor Tyler continues our series in James with a message called The Weakness of Wavering: Why Stability Matters for Your Faith. When you ask God for wisdom, He promises to give it generously, but James also warns that divided loyalty makes us unstable, like waves tossed by the wind.
In this message, we cover:
Why wisdom matters more than talent or luck
How wavering weakens your walk, prayers, and witness
What it looks like to trust God fully without a backup plan
Don’t let doubt and divided loyalty keep you from what God wants to give you.
Key Scriptures: James 1:5–6, Matthew 14:29–31, 1 Kings 18:21
If you’re wrestling with decisions, feeling pressure, or struggling to find clarity, this message will help you take the first step: ask God for wisdom.
