God’s Word is sweet—but it isn’t always easy to swallow.
“Sweet & Sour” explores Revelation 10:1–11 and the challenge of receiving the whole Word of God—the parts that comfort us and the parts that create a holy disturbance within us.
We can’t sweeten the sourness or weaponize the honey. Both have a purpose.
Don’t just taste the Word—feast on it. Let it disturb you, transform you, and send you.
What could we see in Jesus if we stopped long enough to truly look at Him?
“The Undistracted Moment” explores Revelation 8:1–6, where all of heaven falls silent before the Lamb. In a world filled with constant noise, distraction, and striving, God invites us to be still, stand in awe, and discover a fresh revelation of who He is.
Silence with God isn’t our enemy—it might just be our breakthrough.
Clear the room. Turn off the distractions. Stop striving. In quietness and trust, find your strength in Jesus.
What’s growing in the garden of your life?
In “Tend The Garden,” Pastor Jon Campana reminds us that God desires for us to be deeply rooted in Him—rooted in His love, strengthened by His grace, and growing into the fullness He has for us. Some things in our lives need room to grow, while others God lovingly invites us to surrender and let Him uproot. And we don’t walk through that process alone. God has given us the body of Christ to strengthen, encourage, and help one another flourish.
As we remain rooted in His love, He faithfully tends the garden of our lives and produces fruit that lasts.
Tribulation may be part of the story, but Jesus gets the final word.
“Triumphant Through Tribulation” explores Revelation 7:9–17 and reminds us to focus not on the tribulation of Revelation, but on the victory of the Revealer. Jesus has overcome, salvation belongs to our God, and we always have a reason to worship.
Our perspective will either become our prison or our praise—so keep your eyes on the Lamb!
Our culture may offer countless versions of truth, but Heaven recognizes only One who is worthy. One Savior. One Redeemer. One way to the Father. His name is Jesus.
As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “There’s Only One” explores Revelation 5:1–14, where John witnesses a search throughout heaven and earth for someone worthy to open the scroll—and only One is found. Jesus, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain, has prevailed. Through His blood, He has purchased redemption and proven once and for all that He alone is worthy of all power, honor, glory, and praise. In a culture increasingly uncomfortable with absolute truth, the Church must refuse to exchange truth for affirmation. Following Jesus means holding grace and truth together, recognizing deception, and boldly proclaiming that salvation is found in Christ alone. Heaven knows there is only One—the question is, do we?
It’s possible to be close to the things of God without being transformed by the heart of God. Comfort, self-sufficiency, and complacency can slowly convince us that we need nothing—even when Jesus sees something entirely different.
As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “Hot or Cold” explores Revelation 3:14–22 and Jesus’ sobering message to the church in Laodicea. Their greatest problem wasn’t simply their spiritual temperature—it was their spiritual temperament. They had become comfortable, self-sufficient, and unaware of their true condition. Jesus calls His Church away from lukewarm faith and toward a life refined by His presence, shaped by His truth, and demonstrated through genuine love and service. Proximity to Christlike people cannot replace personally following Christ. Jesus still stands at the door and knocks, calling us to hear His voice, repent, open the door, and allow Him to transform the way we live and love others.
Not every opportunity is an open door from God—and not every closed door is a setback. The question isn’t simply whether a door is open, but whether Jesus is the One who opened it.
As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “An Open Door” explores Revelation 3:7–13 and Jesus’ message to the church in Philadelphia. Jesus reveals Himself as the One who is holy and true, who opens doors no one can shut and closes doors no one can open. In a culture that often defines open doors by good opportunities, Jesus teaches His disciples to recognize Godly assignments. Even when we have “little strength,” our limitations do not limit the authority, power, or purposes of God. He opens doors for our sanctification, closes them for our safety, and calls us to faithfully hold fast to His Word and His name. When our trust is in Christ, we can walk through every door He opens knowing that our strength and security are found in Him.
A backpack may seem like a simple gift—but when it’s given with the love of Jesus, it can become a tangible reminder that someone is seen, valued, and not forgotten.
During this special Back-to-School Outreach packing moment, Pastor Kyle Horner shares the “why behind the what” from Matthew 25:34–40. Jesus teaches us that when we care for those who are hungry, hurting, overlooked, or in need, we are ultimately serving Him. As a church, we don’t want to simply recognize needs—we want to recognize people. Charity may see a need, but followers of Jesus are called to see the person.
It’s not just about what we can do through the church. It’s about what we can do by being the Church.
You can have the reputation of being alive while spiritually dying on the inside. Jesus isn’t looking for the appearance of life—He’s calling His Church to wake up, strengthen what remains, and live fully surrendered to Him.
As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “That Zombie Life” explores Revelation 3:1–6 and Jesus’ message to the church in Sardis. Though they had built a reputation for being alive, Jesus saw a very different reality. Pastor Kyle challenges us to examine whether our lives truly reflect Christ or simply resonate with what is comfortable to us. The Christian life isn’t about living to be praised—it’s about dying to ourselves so we can be raised to new life in Christ. Jesus calls us to wake up, remain watchful, strengthen what is dying, hold fast to His Word, and repent. We can either rot in complacency or be resurrected into the life Jesus has called us to live.
CORE
In this CORE teaching, we begin a study of the Book of Revelation by tackling some of the biggest questions surrounding the end times. Is Revelation symbolic or literal? Is it meant to be read as a timeline? What about the Rapture, Tribulation, Millennium, Antichrist, and Second Coming?
We explore the four general views of Revelation and establish an important principle for interpreting this book: let Scripture interpret Scripture. Then we begin working through Revelation 11 as a practical example, looking at its imagery and asking how the rest of the Bible helps us understand what John is seeing.
This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in Scripture, theology, and the gospel.
In this CORE teaching, “Jesus in the Passover,” we explore how the Passover meal in Exodus 12 reveals the hidden glory of Jesus and points directly to His finished work on the cross. What was once a shadow in the Old Testament becomes reality in Christ—the Lamb, the sacrifice, and the Redeemer. From the blood on the doorposts to the unleavened bread, every element tells the story of salvation.
We unpack how Israel’s deliverance from Egypt mirrors our own freedom from sin, and why true redemption was never about human effort, but the blood of the Lamb. This teaching also highlights how God doesn’t overlook sin—He covers it—and how Jesus fulfills every requirement of the Passover, bringing us into new life, freedom, and covenant relationship with Him.

In Part 2 of this CORE teaching, we move from who the Holy Spirit is to what He provides, produces, and protects in the life of a believer. We talk honestly about the state of our culture—and why the “fruit” we all long for (love, peace, joy, kindness, faithfulness) can’t be manufactured by willpower or religion, but only formed in us through the Spirit.
You’ll hear why the Holy Spirit is the Provider of our connection to Jesus, the Seal that guarantees our inheritance, the Counselor who gives wisdom and guidance, and the Protector who empowers us in spiritual battles—through prayer and through the Word (rhema). We also unpack the difference between demonic oppression vs. possession, and why believers can walk with confidence because we are sealed by the Spirit.

Why do we need the Holy Spirit—and who is He, really?
In Part 1 of this CORE teaching, we lay the foundation by answering one of the most important questions for discipleship: Who is the Holy Spirit? We explore how the Spirit isn’t a vague force or “power station,” but a Person—God Himself—who empowers believers for transformation and kingdom advancement.
We walk through key Scriptures showing the Holy Spirit as the source of dunamis power, the Helper/Advocate (Parakletos) promised by Jesus, and the One who empowers creation, Christ’s ministry, and the Church today. We also trace the Holy Spirit’s work through the Old Testament as a foreshadowing of what Jesus would promise and pour out.

What actually happened when Jesus went to the cross, and why does it matter for our lives today?
In this CORE teaching, we explore the meaning, necessity, and power of the cross. We look at why Jesus’ death was essential, what it accomplished, and how the cross, resurrection, and ascension stand at the very center of the Christian faith. This session helps bring clarity to grace, sin, redemption, and the finished work of Christ.
