You might not be behind. You might just be waiting in the wrong spot.

So many believers are sitting in a season of waiting, wondering why nothing is moving. In this sermon from Acts 2, Pastor Jonathan Evans opens up the day of Pentecost and shows why so many of us feel stuck waiting on God, and the specific move the disciples made before the Holy Spirit ever showed up.

In this message you will learn:

• Why you may not be waiting on God, but God may be waiting on you (10:12)
• The three things the disciples did before Pentecost that positioned them for the promise (11:11)
• Why “devoting yourself to prayer” is not the same as just waiting (13:08)
• The five contrasts between Sinai and Pentecost that show how the covenant changed forever
• The difference between being baptized in the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit
• Why tongues of fire in Acts 2 are not the same as the angelic language in 1 Corinthians 14
• What it means that the church is the locker room, not the destination

What if God hid the date of Jesus’ return on purpose?

In Acts 1, the disciples asked the same question we keep asking today: “Lord, is it now? Is the kingdom finally being restored?” Jesus did not correct their expectation. He only corrected the timing. His work on the cross is finished.

His coming kingdom is still loading. In this message, Pastor Jonathan Evans walks through Acts 1:6-8 and shows why God refuses to give us the deadline, and what He’s actually called us to do in this last 1%.

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS MESSAGE:

• Why the disciples’ question in Acts 1:6 is the same question the modern church keeps asking
• How Jesus corrected the timing but never corrected the expectation of His physical return
• Why God hides the date on purpose, and what that says about real faith vs. deadline-driven panic
• The Acts 1:8 assignment for every believer alive in this last 1%
• What it really takes to be a Spirit-filled witness (hint: not credentials)
• A real story from the barber chair that flips the script on “when” and “where” we witness

What if the real question about your life is not how successful it looked, but what its summary will say in the end?

In this powerful message, Jonathan Evans shares a deeply personal story about grief, purpose, and the words his mother spoke in one of the hardest moments their family ever faced. Through that story, he brings us face to face with a sobering truth: you were not created merely to exist, survive, or be admired. You were created to serve the purposes of God.

This sermon is both tender and direct. It will comfort people who are grieving, challenge people who have grown complacent, and remind every believer that time is moving and faithfulness matters. If you have ever wondered what really counts, how to live with eternity in view, or how to make your life matter for others, this message will speak to you.

In this message, you’ll be challenged to consider:

• What the true summary of life really is
• Why purpose does not disappear in seasons of pain
• How to live today with tomorrow’s accountability in view
• Why human applause can never be your aim
• The danger of becoming “saved and satisfied”
• What it means to benefit your generation
• Why finishing well matters more than starting strong
• How kingdom community should respond to grief and need

There is a version of prayer that sounds spiritual but is powered by approval. And Jesus calls it out.

In Matthew 6:5–6, Jesus warns us not to pray like hypocrites who love to be seen, then He calls us into the inner room where the mask comes off and the Father meets us in secret.

In this message, Pastor Jonathan Evans exposes “The Masquerade,” the temptation to turn holy conversation into public performance, and invites you back to prayer that is honest, humble, and real.

If you have ever felt pressure to “sound right” when you pray, or you’ve caught yourself caring more about what people think than what God sees, this sermon will reset your heart.

Key takeaways from this message:

• Prayer is where you go down, not where you come up.
• God knows the difference between a conversation and a concert.
• If your motive is right, you can pray simply and God hears you.
• Audience Direction Disorder can turn prayer into performance, even in spiritual spaces.
• Your Father sees what is done in secret, and He rewards what is real.

Some of us pray like God is reluctant, like we’re bothering Him, asking too much, or showing up uninvited. But Jesus flips that mindset: God isn’t the unwilling friend in your life. He’s a loving Father who commands persistence, ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking, knock and keep knocking.

In this message, Pastor Jonathan Evans walks through Jesus’ words on prayer and gives you a framework for when prayer feels stuck, delayed, or discouraging. You’ll hear why motives matter, why timing matters, and why your pursuit has to match your request.

And you’ll be challenged to P.U.S.H.—to pray until something happens. In this sermon you’ll learn:

• Why Jesus is drawing a contrast between God and the unwilling friend
• What it means that “ask/seek/knock” are imperative present tense (keep doing it)
• Why we default to the “human trinity” (me, myself, and I) instead of asking God
• How motives can affect what you receive in prayer (James 4)
• Why “no” sometimes means “not yet” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
• How contradictory habits can cancel sincere requests
• How to seek God practically by bringing Scripture into your prayer life
• Why the goal is seeking the Person, not just the item you want

This Christmas season, it’s possible to open a bunch of boxes… and still feel like your heart is empty.

In this message, Pastor Jonathan Evans reminds us that the greatest gift we can receive isn’t something we unwrap—it’s Someone we welcome: the presence of Jesus Christ. If you’ve been feeling tired, distracted, discouraged, or spiritually numb, this sermon will help you slow down, refocus, and receive what your soul actually needs.

Because the truth is: peace isn’t found in a present… it’s found in His Presence.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why Christmas can feel “full”… but still empty inside
• What it means to receive Jesus, not just celebrate a season
• How the Holy Spirit leads us into real peace
• The difference between gifts that fade and a Presence that fills

God offers life, so the real question is: what will you choose?

In this message, Jonathan Evans walks through Deuteronomy 30 and reminds us that we’re not just “waiting on God”… we’re making choices every day that lead either toward life and blessing or toward drift and consequences.

f you’ve felt stuck, conflicted, or spiritually numb, this is your wake-up call. God offers life. Choose it today. In this message you’ll learn:

• Why “neutral” isn’t really neutral (drift is still a direction)
• How your daily decisions shape your spiritual future
• What it looks like to choose life in real, practical ways
• How to stop delaying and start walking in obedience

In this sermon, Jonathan Evans walks through Numbers 21 and shows how a complaining, ungrateful heart can become venom to our own lives.

Israel was tired of the long, hard journey. They were hurt by family, frustrated by delays, and discouraged by the wilderness. Instead of trusting God’s provision, they used their mouths to bite the very God who was sustaining them. God responded by allowing fiery serpents into the camp—giving them a physical picture of the spiritual venom they had already released with their tongues.

In this sermon, you’ll discover:

• Why God “doesn’t do snakes” and what that means for our hearts and our words
• How complaining about God’s provision is actually complaining about God Himself
• The danger of living under the venom of your own speech
• How the bronze serpent in the wilderness points directly to Jesus on the cross
• Why there is only one way to be saved from the sting of death: fixing your eyes on Christ alone

This sermon connects the “first Adam” who bit us with sin to the “second Adam,” Jesus, who was lifted up on the cross—made in the likeness of the one who bit us—so that everyone who looks to Him can live.

If you’ve been:

• Complaining non-stop about your season
• Feeling paralyzed, heavy, and spiritually poisoned
• Hurt by family, abandoned, or made to feel “not enough”

…this message is an invitation to repent, release the venom, and look to the cross.

In this video, Jonathan Evans gets into Exodus 32—the moment the Israelites grew impatient, created their own story, and traded their worship for a golden calf. Their mistake wasn’t just idolatry… it was impatience. They assumed God was taking too long, so they took control. Sound familiar?

When God doesn’t move according to our internal stopwatch, our hearts often drift the same way. Waiting reveals what’s inside of us. It exposes whether our faith is truly in God—or in our expectations. The Israelites turned to substitutes when the wait felt too long. Today, our idols look different, but the temptation is the same: distraction, shortcuts, relationships, addictions, self-reliance.

Just because God feels delayed doesn’t mean He’s distant. Just because He’s silent doesn’t mean He’s absent. Just because you’re waiting doesn’t mean He’s not working. In this video, we explore:

• Why God allows waiting seasons
• Why impatience leads to spiritual drift
• How worry trades places with worship
• The danger of creating your own timeline
• The hope of Christ’s return—and what it means to “wait well”
