  • How to Love Someone Who Is Hard to Love

    How to Love Someone Who Is Hard to Love
    Mar 1 2026
    How do you love someone who is hard to love? What do you do when the person who comes to mind is someone who hurt you, betrayed you, or simply makes your life difficult?

    In Week 3 of The [Re]Main Thing, Pastor Scott Savage explores what may be the hardest thing Jesus calls us to do: love people. Not just the easy ones. Not just the kind ones. But the ones who test our patience, challenge our grace, and expose our limits.

    From John 15, we are reminded that you cannot love like Jesus unless you remain with Jesus. Love is not something we manufacture through willpower. It is fruit that grows from connection. When we stay rooted in Christ, we receive the very love we are commanded to give.

    If you are struggling in a relationship, wrestling with forgiveness, or wondering why loving others feels so impossible, this message will challenge and encourage you. The remain thing must stay the main thing.

  • Are You Too Busy for God? How Hurry Is Hurting Your Spiritual Life

    Are You Too Busy for God? How Hurry Is Hurting Your Spiritual Life
    Feb 22 2026
    What if your biggest spiritual problem is not sin, but speed? Are you so busy that you are slowly drifting from the presence of God?

    In Week 2 of The Remain Thing, Josh McClintock explores how hurry quietly damages our souls and keeps us from truly remaining in Jesus. Through the stories of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and Judas in John 13, we see how distraction and self driven agendas pull us away from intimacy with Christ and meaningful connection with others.

    Hurry does not just make us busy. It makes us unavailable. It distracts us from sitting at Jesus’ feet and distances us from the people right in front of us. But remaining with Jesus requires a pace that hurry simply cannot sustain.

    If you feel constantly rushed, distracted, anxious, or spiritually dry, this message will challenge and encourage you to slow down, refocus, and rediscover the freedom of abiding in Christ.

  • How to Stay Connected to Jesus in a Distracted World

    How to Stay Connected to Jesus in a Distracted World
    Feb 15 2026
    What does it actually look like to stay connected to Jesus when your life feels rushed, distracted, and constantly pulled in a hundred directions? Is it about trying harder, doing more, or adding one more spiritual habit to an already overloaded schedule?

    In Week 1 of our series The [RE]Main Thing, Pastor Scott Savage walks through John 15 and Jesus’ powerful image of the vine and branches. Speaking to a people who saw the vine as their national symbol, Jesus makes a bold claim: I am the true vine. The invitation is not to strive, but to remain. Not to perform, but to stay connected.

    In this message, you will discover the difference between trying and abiding, why spiritual fruit takes time, and how trusting the Gardener changes everything. If you feel overwhelmed, impatient with your growth, or discouraged by distraction, this teaching offers a clear and hopeful path forward. Remaining in Jesus is not about earning salvation. It is about staying relationally present so that He can produce in you what you cannot produce on your own.

    Whether you are battling anxiety, buried in busyness, or simply longing for deeper spiritual growth, this message will challenge you to keep the remain thing the main thing.

  • What to Do When You Feel Like Giving Up

    What to Do When You Feel Like Giving Up
    Feb 8 2026
    What do you do when you feel discouraged and tempted to give up? What if the reason you want to quit is not because nothing is happening, but because you cannot see what God is doing?

    In this message, Scott Savage speaks directly to the quiet weight of discouragement and the moments when perseverance feels hardest. Through Scripture, real-life stories, and honest reflection, we are reminded that God is always at work, even when progress feels slow or invisible.

    Drawing from Ephesians 3 and 4, this message points us back to purpose, faithfulness, and the importance of taking our next step with Jesus. It challenges us to resist the lie that nothing is happening and instead trust that God is growing something beneath the surface.

    If you are tired, stuck, or wondering if your faithfulness still matters, this message will encourage you to keep going and trust that God is not finished yet.

  • Stop Going Back to What Never Satisfies

    Stop Going Back to What Never Satisfies
    Feb 1 2026
    What do you do when the things you keep turning to still leave you feeling empty? Why does going back to what once promised relief never seem to work? +

    In this message from the Burn The Ships series, Scott Savage teaches from John 4 and the story of the woman at the well, showing how easily we return to wells that cannot satisfy our souls. Through a powerful and relatable look at human patterns, this sermon exposes why changing the bucket never fixes the problem and why real transformation begins when we look to a different source altogether. Jesus does not offer temporary relief or surface-level change. He offers living water that meets us fully, sees us completely, and satisfies us deeply.

    If you are tired of feeling stuck, worn down, or spiritually empty, this message will challenge you to stop going back to what never satisfies and trust the One who truly gives life.

  • How to Stop People Pleasing and Live from God’s Approval

    How to Stop People Pleasing and Live from God’s Approval
    Jan 25 2026
    What do you do when the fear of people’s opinions quietly shapes your decisions, your faith, and your relationship with God? How do you follow Jesus when approval feels like something you cannot afford to lose? In this message from the Burn The Ships series, Pastor Scott Savage confronts the exhausting reality of people pleasing and invites us to discover a better way to live.

    Drawing from Galatians 1 and 1 Thessalonians 2, this sermon reveals how people pleasing is really about misplaced approval and why trying to satisfy everyone eventually keeps us from fully serving Christ. Scott unpacks the difference between living for approval and living from God’s approval, showing how the gospel frees us from anxiety, fear of rejection, and the constant pressure to be liked. When our identity is rooted in what God says about us, we are finally free to live with courage, compassion, and faithfulness.

    If you find yourself replaying conversations, avoiding hard truths, or feeling worn down by the need to meet expectations, this message will meet you right where you are. Learning how to stop people pleasing is not about becoming careless or harsh, but about trusting that God’s approval is already secure in Christ. When you live from that truth, it changes how you love people, make decisions, and follow Jesus in a world that constantly demands your approval.

  • Why You Can’t Move Forward While Holding Onto Pain

    Why You Can’t Move Forward While Holding Onto Pain
    Jan 18 2026
    Why does moving forward feel impossible even when you want healing? What happens when old wounds, bitterness, and unresolved pain quietly shape your relationships, your faith, and your future? In week three of the Burn The Ships series, Scott Savage, Josh McClintock, and Jake Downing sit down for an honest and practical conversation about church hurt, relational wounds, and the pain many people carry for years.

    Through Scripture, real stories, and thoughtful reflection, this message explores why holding onto hurt keeps us anchored in the past and how forgiveness is often a personal decision before it ever becomes a shared one. You will discover why healing does not always require an apology, how bitterness affects your spiritual life, and what it looks like to release pain without minimizing what happened.

    If you feel stuck, guarded, or weighed down by past experiences, this message offers clarity, hope, and simple next steps toward healing. God does not ask you to forget the hurt, but He does invite you to stop letting it define where you are going.

  • How Small Sins Can Ruin Your Life

    How Small Sins Can Ruin Your Life
    Jan 11 2026
    How can small sins that seem harmless slowly ruin your life? Why do the compromises we ignore often lead to broken relationships, spiritual drift, and lives falling apart? In Week 2 of the Burn The Ships series, Jeff Gokee delivers a sobering and hope filled message about the danger of hidden sin and partial surrender. Through Scripture, real life stories, and personal reflection, Jeff shows how sin often starts small, darkens our thinking, hardens our hearts, and eventually leads to devastation if left unaddressed. Yet this message is not about shame or condemnation. It is an invitation to grace, healing, and freedom through Jesus. If you feel like parts of your life are unraveling or you are carrying something you have tried to ignore, this sermon calls you to burn the ships, put sin to death, and step into the life God desires for you.
