46 | Foundations: The Practice of the Church - James Kraft

In this Foundations message from Acts 2:42, James Kraft explores the foundational practices that shaped the early church and what true devotion to God looks like today. Reflecting on the image of strong stone foundations, he challenges believers to build their lives on the same commitments the first Christians embraced: the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. James emphasizes that faith is not just about knowing truth but living it out in community, pursuing real relationships, vulnerability, and daily connection with God. This message calls believers to move beyond simply attending church and instead become living stones—devoted to Christ, connected to one another, and anchored in the life of the church.

45 | From Sinner to Sanctified - Kayla Kasica

In this message from Romans 5–6, Kayla Kasica explores the powerful difference between being in Adam and being in Christ. Through Jesus’ obedience and sacrifice, believers are no longer defined by sin, condemnation, and death but are given the gift of grace, righteousness, and eternal life. Kayla explains how salvation leads to an ongoing process called sanctification—the work of God shaping our lives to reflect Christ. This message encourages believers to surrender to the Holy Spirit, embrace God’s refining work, and live lives that glorify Him as we grow in holiness and maturity in Christ.

44 | State of the Heart - Jed Kasica

In this message on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13, the Jed Kasica explores how the condition of our hearts determines how we receive God’s Word. Jesus describes four types of soil—hard ground, rocky soil, thorny soil, and good soil—each representing a different spiritual response to the gospel. Through this teaching, we’re challenged to examine what may be shaping our hearts today, from distraction and worldliness to spiritual complacency. The message calls believers back to proximity with Jesus, faithfulness in discipleship, and a responsive heart that allows the truth of the Kingdom of God to take root and produce lasting spiritual fruit.

43 | The Anointing In Me - Steve Wilkins

In this stirring message, Steve Wilkins calls the church to move beyond momentary spiritual encounters and into a life of stewarding the Holy Spirit. Using the picture of hunting and harvest, he explains that powerful moments with God are not the destination—they are invitations into responsibility. The Holy Spirit is not simply an experience to enjoy, but a divine deposit to steward for the sake of God’s purposes on the earth.
Teaching from Matthew 16, Luke 4, and Acts 2, Steve unpacks the revelation of Jesus as the Christ—the Anointed One—and what it means that this same anointing now lives in us. He challenges believers to reject the sin of familiarity, embrace a fresh revelation of who Jesus truly is, and recognize the royal anointing placed upon the Church. This episode is a bold call to authentic, Spirit-filled Christianity—where we are not just gathered on Sundays, but sent as ambassadors of the Kingdom to bring the realities of heaven to earth.

42 | Foundations: Generosity - Andy Sparks

In this foundations teaching on generosity, Andy Spark explores what it means to reflect the generous heart of God in every area of life. Walking through Matthew 6 and key biblical passages, he reminds us to seek first the Kingdom of God and trust the Father as our provider. From tithing as a formative practice to offerings that flow from gratitude, Andy unpacks how generosity trains the heart, confronts idolatry, and frees us from a culture built on fear and scarcity. More than a financial principle, generosity is a posture—one that shapes our identity, reorders our priorities, and aligns us with the character of Christ. This episode is a practical and challenging invitation to become cheerful, faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us.

41 | A Holy Interruption - Jed Kasica

In this message, Jed Kasica explores what it means to live as a “living stone” in the house God is building, reminding us that every believer carries a unique calling and gifting in Christ. Teaching from Exodus 3–4, Jed walks through Moses’ encounter with the burning bush to show how God often interrupts our plans to invite us into greater purpose. What feels like disruption may actually be divine direction.
Through Moses’ doubts, excuses, and insecurities, we see a powerful truth: God’s calling isn’t based on our ability, but on His presence. When God says, “I will be with you,” that’s enough. This episode is a faith-building reminder that your life is more than routine or comfort—you are called, sent, and empowered by the Spirit and anchored in the Word to serve God’s greater purpose in the earth.

40 | The Filter of Love - Karl Gibson

In this message, Karl Gibson teaches from 1 Corinthians 13, calling believers to make love the defining mark of their faith in a culture driven by division, outrage, and noise. He reminds us that spiritual gifts, strong opinions, knowledge, and even good works mean nothing without Christlike love at the center. True transformation doesn’t come from sounding right—it comes from embodying the heart of Jesus.
Anchored in the powerful image of the thief on the cross, Karl points to the foundation of our hope: we are saved by grace alone because of what Jesus has done. This episode is a compelling call to humility, unity, and living out the kind of love that reflects Christ to a divided world.

39 | Stubborn or Surrendered - Jed Kasica

In this message, Jed Kasica invites listeners to step into a new season by learning how to truly let God lead. Teaching from Exodus 32–33, Jed unpacks how disappointment, impatience, and misplaced priorities can quietly lead our hearts away from God’s presence. Through Israel’s story, he challenges believers to identify modern “golden calves,” realign their priorities, and cultivate a life marked by humility, holiness, gratitude, and intentional time with God. A timely call to seek God’s presence above outcomes, plans, or success—and to trust Him with the year ahead.

38 | Foundations: The Culture of the Church

In this Foundation Stones teaching, Cody Vela unpacks Stone Seven: Covenant — the culture of the church. Tracing covenant from the Trinity to Abraham, David and Jonathan, and ultimately to Jesus, Cody explains why covenant is more than agreement. Covenant is a deep, sacrificial commitment rooted in love, loyalty, and responsibility. This message challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level connection and embrace covenant relationships in friendships, marriages, and our walk with Christ. A powerful reminder that Jesus Himself walked through the covenant on our behalf, calling us into deeper unity with God and one another.
