In this powerful and practical message from our Family Strong series, Pastor Ezra Stanton challenges parents to shift their focus from raising well-behaved kids to raising disciples of Jesus—sons and daughters who know their God-given identity and walk in it.

 

This isn’t a parenting pep talk loaded with pressure or guilt. It’s a call to purpose.

With honest stories, biblical truth, and real-life application, this message breaks do...

What do you build your life on when the storms come—not if, but when?

In this special 10-year anniversary message, Pastor Ezra Stanton reflects on how Mission Church went from a Bible study in a living room to a church impacting thousands—one decision, one step of obedience, and one secure foundation at a time.

 

As part of our Family Strong series, this message is both a celebration and a challenge: build your life on what lasts. ...

What do you get when you gather four couples—married anywhere from just a few months to over 50 years—and ask them the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious questions about marriage?

You get this conversation. And you don’t want to miss it.

 

As part of our Family Strong series, we hosted a live Marriage Q&A Panel to help couples of every stage grow stronger together. No filters. No perfect answers. Just wisdom, honesty, and plent...

You don’t need a perfect family to have a powerful one. You need a culture of honor.

 

In this foundational message, Pastor Ezra Stanton breaks down what it takes to build a strong, healthy, God-centered home—and the secret isn’t more rules, tighter schedules, or better behavior. It’s honor.

Drawing from Romans 12, Ephesians 6, Proverbs 18, and Genesis 1, this message shows that honor isn’t just a church word—it’s a spiritual therm...

You weren’t made to just get by. You weren’t created to barely hang on. You were designed with greatness in your DNA.

 

In this bold and timely message, Pastor Ezra reminds us that true greatness isn’t something you earn—it’s something you inherit.

 

This message is for:

— The man trying to carry it all but secretly wondering if he’s enough

— The woman silently questioning if she’s doing it right

— The husband, the wife, the parent...

Your Legacy Starts Now: How the Seeds You Plant Today Shape Eternity

What story will your life tell when you're gone? What kind of fruit will still be growing because of the seeds you planted? In the final message of our Seeds series, we’re getting to the heart of it all: legacy.

 

This isn’t just about someday. This is about right now. Every word you speak, every decision you make, every act of faith, love, or generosity—it’s all ...

You don’t need a lot—you just need to start.

 

In this message, we’re diving into the power of multiplication—how God takes what you’re willing to sow and expands it in ways you never imagined. We’ve talked about seeds, soil, and growth. But now we’re talking about impact—because everything healthy multiplies.

 

Through Luke 6 and 2 Corinthians 9, we’re learning that what’s in your heart doesn’t stay hidden—it multiplies. What’s st...

Not everything that looks like faith is the real thing. In a culture obsessed with appearances and faking it 'til you make it, Jesus offers something radically different: true transformation from the inside out.

In this powerful message from Matthew 13, we explore the parable of the weeds and the wheat—where Jesus draws a startling contrast between what looks good and what actually is good. The differenc...

What if the life you’re living right now is the result of the seeds you’ve been sowing all along? The truth is, we don’t just reap what we sow—we reap later and often more than we sow. That’s both an encouragement and a warning.

In this message, we’re diving into Mark 4 and Galatians 6, uncovering the principle of sowing and reaping—one of the most powerful spiritual laws in Scripture. We all love harves...

We love big. Bigger dreams, bigger opportunities, bigger breakthroughs. But in God’s Kingdom, everything big starts small. And if we’re not careful, we’ll miss the process because we’re too focused on the outcome.

In this message, we’re diving into Matthew 13—where Jesus compares faith to a mustard seed. It may start small, but when it’s planted in the right soil and nurtured, it grows into something mas...

So many things in life are outside your control—your team losing (looking at you, Cowboys fans), the weather, the chaos of life. But your growth? That’s on you. God wants you to grow, and He’s given you everything you need—you just have to plant the right seeds in the right soil.

 

In this message, Pastor Ezra breaks down the process of growth straight from the words of Jesus. How do you hear God’s voice? How do you know His will f...

Forgiveness isn’t just a nice idea—it’s non-negotiable for anyone following Jesus. In Matthew 18, Peter tries to impress Jesus with his “generosity” in forgiving up to seven times. Jesus? He flips the script: Seventy times seven. Translation? Stop keeping score. Start canceling debts.

 

🔥 Forgiveness isn’t optional. We love to hold onto offenses, justify our bitterness, and wait for an apology. But Jesus makes it clear—forgiveness...
