Where did baptism come from, and what does it really mean for followers of Jesus today? In this episode, we dig into the history and meaning behind one of Christianity’s most powerful — and often misunderstood — practices. From first-century Jewish tradition to the Jordan River to your own story, discover why this ancient act is still deeply relevant and why your personal faith was never meant to stay private.

What if the biggest obstacles in our spiritual life aren’t external, but internal? In this episode, we continue the Check Your Heart series by looking at how Jesus addressed people who were doing all the right things—but still missing something essential. This message pushes past surface-level faith and asks what it really looks like to live from a transformed heart in everyday life.

We all have appetites—and they all speak the same word: “more.” In week two of Check Your Heart, we explore the tension between now vs. later, why Jesus talks so directly about money in Matthew 6, and how our choices around treasure, focus, and worry can reveal what’s happening beneath the surface.

When life shakes you, what spills out? In week one of our “Check Your Heart” series at Access Church, we talk about why guarding your heart matters—and how your words can reveal what’s been stored inside for a long time. Along the way, we’ll hear wisdom from Proverbs and a challenging teaching from Jesus that reframes what really impacts your spiritual condition.

Thanks for listening—if this encouraged you, share it with a friend and join us next week as we keep going.

In week two of “A Better Question,” we stop asking “What should I do about me?” and start asking, “What breaks your heart?” Through Jesus’ teaching in Luke 12, we uncover a subtle trap that can quietly steal meaning—and a better way to live before life runs out.

New year, new goals… but what if the best progress starts with a better question? In this message, we begin a new series by looking beyond resolutions and toward the kind of purpose that can shape your year—and your life.

As we step into a new year, how do we make sure we’re not drifting—but living intentionally? This message helps you reflect on last year’s “wake” (regrets, wins, gratitude) and shows how that backward glance can clarify forward direction.

You’ll hear why vision brings focus and alignment, why a lack of vision fuels anxiety, and how Israel’s moment on the edge of the Promised Land mirrors the voices we all face today. Stay with it to the end for a simple, practical challenge for 2026.

Christmas invites us to imagine the impossible—and this week’s message leans into that wonder. In The Way in a Manger, we explore what Jesus meant by calling Himself “the Way,” why the earliest believers were known for more than their beliefs, and what a Roman official’s investigation reveals about the first Christians. As we move toward Christmas, you’ll be challenged with a powerful question about what’s really shaping your life from the inside out.
