What does it mean to truly be devoted to God?

In the final week of the Hope of Glory series, CJ Ward teaches from Colossians 4 and shows how a life devoted to prayer changes everything—from how we think to how we live on mission.

This message will challenge you to move beyond occasional prayer and step into a consistent, daily relationship with God marked by being watchful and thankful.

Discover how prayer prepares you to:

• Recognize what God is doing around you
• Speak with grace and truth
• Live on mission in your everyday life

Do you find yourself bargaining with God when things get tough?. This week, CJ Ward discusses the supremacy of King Jesus and why our relationship with Him cannot be a negotiation. Using the metaphor of a "silent partner," CJ exposes our tendency to give God a "10% share" of our lives while keeping the rest for our own plans.

Drawing from Colossians 3, we learn that if we have been raised with Christ, our lives must be oriented around His kingdom. It’s time to stop treating Jesus as a consultant and start following Him as King.

Tired of the performance trap?

We often treat our significance like a goal to be reached, but the Gospel says it’s a gift already given. In this message, CJ Ward explores Colossians 1 to show why "Christ in you" is the only anchor that doesn't move when life gets hard.

In this video:

• The "Uncle Rico" trap of wasted potential.

• Why earning your value means you can lose it.

• Living out of the security of being loved.

What is real hope?

In Colossians 1:27, Paul declares: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

In this opening message of Hope of Glory, CJ Ward walks through the supremacy of Christ and what it means that Jesus doesn’t just save us — He lives in us.

Hope is not wishful thinking.
Hope is not based on circumstances.
Hope is anchored in Christ.

If you’ve ever felt like your confidence rises and falls with life’s ups and downs, this message will re-center your foundation.

Is there a spiritual magic trick?

In Matthew 12:33–37, Jesus teaches that a tree is recognized by its fruit and that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”

What goes in eventually comes out.

In this final message of the World Builders series, CJ Ward explains why we cannot continue feeding fear, bitterness, lust, or outrage into our lives and expect healthy fruit to grow.

The world can help manage behavior.
Only Jesus transforms the heart.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep surfacing in your life, this message will challenge and encourage you.

There is no magic trick.
But there is real transformation in Jesus.
