We Were Made for Limits
March 23, 2025
Are you paying attention to what you are paying attention to? In Week 2 of our Digital Fast, Pastor Jason Britt dives into the second miracle of Jesus in John 4—a “sign” pointing to the limitless power of God. By contrasting Jesus’ divinity with our humanity, we discover a profound truth: while God is limitless, we were created with boundaries for a reason.
Our smartphones offer us a “digital God-complex,” inviting us to live as if we are all-knowing (omniscience), all-present (omnipresence), and all-powerful (omnipotence). But this unlimited awareness hasn’t made us smarter—it’s made us more anxious. This unlimited connection hasn’t brought us closer—it’s made us lonelier. Discover why embracing your God-given limits is the key to reclaiming your soul from the “infinite scroll.”

The Difference Between Belief and Believing
March 2, 2025
What is the difference between “intellectual agreement” and “biblical belief”? In this message, Pastor Jason Britt explains that many of us treat our beliefs like facts we keep in a separate room, rather than the bridge we walk across.
Using the story of Jesus at the wedding in Cana (John 2), Jason illustrates that Jesus isn’t just a Savior for our crises; He is the source of joy for our celebrations. John’s “thesis statement” for his entire gospel is found in John 20:31: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah… and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Discover why “believing” isn’t just thinking something is true—it’s putting the whole weight of your life into who Christ is.
Breakthrough: When Jesus Flips the Tables
March 9, 2025
We all love the Jesus who brings joy, turns water to wine, and fills our tables. But do we trust the Jesus who enters our lives to flip them? In this powerful message, Pastor Clay Scroggins explores John 2 and the moment Jesus cleanses the Temple. This wasn’t just a moment of anger; it was a moment of disruption for the sake of devotion.
Pastor Clay challenges us to realize that the foundation of the Christian life isn’t religion—the “dos and don’ts”—but a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. When anything gets in the way of that relationship (or prevents others from finding Him), Jesus is not afraid to clear the room. Whether it’s legalism, hypocrisy, or the “clutter” of our modern distractions, sometimes the breakthrough we’ve been praying for requires a disruption we didn’t expect.
The Price of Your Device
March 16, 2025
Who was the “greatest” person to ever live? According to Jesus in Matthew 11, it was John the Baptist. Yet John’s entire life was a “visual protest to self-indulgence.” He didn’t write a book of the Bible, he never performed a miracle, and he lived in the desert eating locusts—all to point people toward someone else. His life mission was summed up in one world-shifting statement: “He must increase; I must decrease.”
In this message, Pastor Jason Britt applies this “character-building statement” to the most distracting area of our modern lives: our relationship with technology. We are currently in an “Attention Economy,” where billion-dollar corporations are in an arms race for your focus. While our devices give us efficiency, we must ask: what are they taking away? From “losing to a goldfish” in attention span to the epidemic of anxiety and loneliness, the price of our devices is often our peace and our presence.
Transactional or Transformational?
March 30, 2025
Is your relationship with Jesus about what you can get, or about who He is? In a world that runs on “if/then” exchanges, it’s easy to treat God like a business partner or a genie in a bottle. We bring Him our crises but not our lives. We want the prizes He dispenses, but we don’t necessarily want Him.
In this message, Pastor Jason Britt explores the first of Jesus’ seven “I AM” statements: “I am the Bread of Life.” Just as our bodies have a biological warning system called hunger, our souls have a spiritual hunger for meaning, purpose, and acceptance. Jesus didn’t come to just fill our bellies for a day; He came to transform our hearts forever.
Pastor Jason also ties this into our Digital Fast, challenging us to look at our devices. Are they transactional tools meant to help us, or have they become transformational devices that are “discipling” us into anxiety, anger, and distraction? You are what you eat, but you are also what you dwell on.
Rightsizing Our Relationship
April 6, 2025
Are you living intentionally or instinctually? In this final message of our Digital Fast, Pastor Jason Britt challenges us to pay attention to what we are paying attention to. We live in a “Collective Action Problem” where we recognize the anxiety and distraction caused by our devices, yet we struggle to change our habits.
As our shepherd, Pastor Jason calls us to be “alert and sober-minded” against an enemy who uses distraction to steal, kill, and destroy. By looking at the seven “I AM” statements in John’s Gospel, we learn how to rightsize our relationship with God. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure; He is the Bread, the Light, and the Shepherd who meets our deepest human lack. It’s time to move past a “moderate” interest in religion and experience the self-sufficient, ever-present “I AM.”
