06.29.25 - Talking with God: Wide Awake

Jesus gives us a clear challenge in a distracted world: stay awake. This sermon explores how prayer keeps us spiritually alert — not just reactive in crisis, but ready for whatever life brings. We'll look at three subtle dangers Jesus names — dissipation, drunkenness, and the cares of life — and learn how prayer becomes our rhythm of resilience in the chaos.

06.15.25 - Talking with God: Being the Answer

Have you ever wondered how God might use you to help meet the needs around you? This Sunday, we will explore how Jesus calls us to see what He sees. To see the pain and need around us with compassion and awareness. He then invites us to pray what He prays, asking God to send help, even when the need feels overwhelming and beyond our control. But that prayer is also a commission, because sometimes, God's answer is us. He sends ordinary people like you to step in, show up, and be the answer to someone else's prayer.

06.08.25 - Talking with God: Faithfully

Prayer isn't about performance. It's not a vending machine or a last resort. It's about relationship. This week, we'll explore one of Jesus' most hopeful yet often misunderstood invitations in Matthew 7:7-11. We'll look at how our past experiences can shape distorted views of intimacy, trust, and expectation, and how Jesus invites us to see prayer through a new lens. Whether prayer feels natural or unfamiliar, come discover how it can become a space of connection, transformation, and deeper relationship with God, and with the people around you.

05.18.25 - Cheating the System

Everybody loves a good life hack. We are eager to learn the latest shortcut or way to cheat the system, but sometimes trying to get ahead quick can lead to a domino effect of disaster. This week, we looked at the story of two disciples who wanted to cut in line for positions of power, damaging their relationships along the way, and how Jesus set things straight.

05.11.25 - Flip the Script

What if the greatest moral ethic isn’t just “Do no harm,” but “Go do good”? In this message, we’ll look at one of Jesus’ most famous commands, The Golden Rule, and how it flips our entire approach to relationships—from passive decency to proactive love. If you want to create goodness in your home, workplace, or church, this is how it starts.

04.20.25 - OVERFLOW

We all long for freedom, belonging, and meaning—but modern culture tells us to chase freedom at all costs, leaving us disconnected and empty. Join us this Sunday, April 20 for EASTER AT THE BYRD as we celebrate how Jesus' resurrection restores our relationship with God and gives our lives eternal meaning, inviting us into a story bigger than ourselves—one where we are fully known, deeply loved, and truly free.

04.13.25 - The Lord's Supper

Sometimes, it's the little things that we do that add up to so much more. The daily routines and practices that we sometimes take for granted prepare us for something much bigger than ourselves. What if communion isn’t just a ritual but a rhythm that shapes how you live, love, and follow Jesus? What if it actually alters the way that we live every day of our lives?

03.09.25 - Honor The Lord

What we put first shapes everything else in our lives—our time, our priorities, and, ultimately, our purpose. This Sunday, we will explore Jesus’ answer to life’s biggest question: What matters most? If you’ve ever wondered how to live a meaningful life that honors God and transforms your relationships, this message will challenge and inspire you to put the right thing first.

03.02.25 - Your Parents

It's a whole lot easier to burn bridges than mend fences. In an age where we unfriend people easily online, some people have taken to unfriending their own parents online and in real life. We are sometimes quick to label almost anyone toxic and remove them from our lives, but at what cost? On Sunday, March 2, we looked at how Jesus reinforces the Jewish law that requires people to honor their parents and some practical ways we can do that today.
