SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 3/24/24. We conclude our series, Pray Like This, with Senior Pastor Matt McFadden leading a panel discussion on prayer. Leading off in Matthew 26:36-44, we hear from members who prayed to believe in the goodness of God’s Will during a difficult season of trial, hurt or disappointment, and how accepting God’s goodness helped them to prevail and see the blessing or preparation God had in mind.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 3/17/24. We open our series, Pray Like This, with Youth Pastor Jevaughn Huggins providing a foundation for a thriving, effective prayer life. Working from Matthew 6:1-8 and Mark 11:11-14 & 20-22, we witness Jesus explain two things for effective prayer: (1) our prayers should come from a place of authenticity and (2) our prayers should come from a place of purity.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 3/10/24. We conclude our short series, Marriage Matters, in Matthew 19:1-6. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden guides us through the understanding that marriage is a part of God’s created order and is a covenantal relationship. It is based in covenant love—not on the worthiness of either spouse—and where the husband and wife are both fully satisfied in God first.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 3/3/24. We start our two week series, Marriage Matters, with Grace Pastor Ben Hosey presenting God’s template for marriage found in Genesis 2:18-22. We see that the tension, strife and conflict in our marriages are the result of humanity’s fall in the garden: the sin of our claiming the authority to define marriage according to our design.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 2/25/24. We conclude our series, Gospel Fluency 101, in Colossians 4:2-6. Growth Pastor Caleb Warren helps us understand the power of our witness—the gospel in our words. To share our witness with gentleness and respect, we must adjust the lens through which we view others, we must listen and learn their creation, fall, redemption and new creation.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 2/18/24. Gospel fluency reveals itself by the gospel showing in our deeds and words. We continue our Gospel Fluency 101 series with Senior Pastor Matt McFadden explaining that we cannot live the gospel in our actions while keeping the gospel message disconnected from the “why” we live “differently.” We keep others from Jesus when they do not connect our lives to our gospel transformation—we may be encouraging them to believe they too can live “good” without Jesus. Gospel fluency includes both our actions and our explanation for those actions.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 2/11/24. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden continues our Gospel Fluency 101 series in Acts 2:42-47. We learn that gospel fluency has its fullest expression within Christian community. Christian community is only possible with Christ at the center, and in it we grow in our shared Christian identity and participate in Christian mission.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 2/4/24. Meals are relational. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden continues our series, Gospel Fluency 101, in Matthew 26:26-30, where we learn that Jesus is the true Passover meal. Most of Jesus’s ministry is spent going to a meal, coming from a meal or eating a meal. A meal reminds us of God’s provision, it is a picture of fellowship and peace, and it is eaten as a reminder of our redemption.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 1/28/24. The battle is spiritual. Our Gospel Fluency 101 series continues with Growth Pastor Caleb Warren helping us understand the Enemy is trying to skew the Truth away from what God’s word tells us. To be Gospel fluent we have to let the truths of the Gospel inform our thoughts, feelings and actions.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 1/21/24. We cannot keep hidden what we love, or we talk about what we love. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden continues our Gospel Fluency 101 series in Mark 10:17-31 from that idea: we cannot keep hidden what we love. Who has control of your heart? For it to be Jesus, we must know Him, we must study His Gospel, we must ask questions about Him, and we must spend time with Him. Then, we will talk about Him as we cannot hide our love of Him.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 1/14/24. We continue our series, Gospel Fluency 101, by realizing that we are all unbelievers: that a gap exists between what we believe about God and the way we live our lives. Teaching from the Romans Road (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9, 10:13, 5:1, 8:1 & 8:38-39), Senior Pastor Matt McFadden shows us through gospel fluency we fill this gap—this vacillation between believer and unbeliever—by understanding what The Gospel is and what it provides: justification, reconciliation, regeneration and redemption.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 1/7/24. We begin our new series, Gospel Fluency 101, guided by Jeff Vanderstelt’s book “Gospel Fluency: Speaking the Truths of Jesus into the Everyday Stuff of Life.” Senior Pastor Matt McFadden introduces the idea of gospel fluency as “christian maturity.” Maturity is not simply arriving at some arbitrary biological age, but rather upon the obtaining of deep understanding. For example, when the subconscious dreams of a person learning a second language are in the new language—the person has become “fluent” when the secondary language flows from them without effort. Fluency requires knowledge, application and immersion.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 12/31/23. We come to the end of our year long journey through the Bible in Revelation 21 & 22. Elder Brandon Christensen concludes The Story with God’s final promises that give us our ultimate hope and comfort in Jesus’s victory.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 12/17/23. We near the conclusion of our journey through the Bible in Revelation 5:1-14, where Senior Pastor Matt McFadden ensures us that Revelation is not a book to be feared, but the conclusion to Jesus’s story: the worthy Lion and the Lamb, the source of our hope and joy.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 12/10/23. Our journey through the Bible continues in 2 Timothy 3:10-17 with Grace Pastor Ben Hosey providing us with tools to be an “example” Christian, not an “impostor” Christian.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 12/3/23. As our journey through the Bible continues in Hebrews 12:1-2, Senior Pastor Matt McFadden calls on us to run the race for our faith, putting down those things that we are not meant to carry, so that we may run unencumbered.

SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 11/19/23. Why should I willingly surrender total control of my life? As our journey through the Bible continues in Romans 12:1-2, Senior Pastor Matt McFadden shows us that by surrendering our lives to God, we can live a life that is pleasing to God.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 11/12/23. Our journey through the Bible continues in James 2:14-16 with Growth Pastor Caleb Warren teaching that works will not gain us our salvation, but works after salvation is the sign of an active, living faith.

SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 10/8/23. Growth Pastor Caleb Warren introduces us to the third person of our triune God: the Holy Spirit. As our journey through the Bible continues in Acts 2:1-41, Caleb helps us understand that Jesus is God with us, but the Holy Spirit—the Helper—is God dwelling in us. By overlooking or ignoring the Holy Spirit, we miss out on the power of the omniscient, omnipresent, eternal God living in us.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 10/1/23. We conclude the earthly ministry of Jesus as our journey through the Bible continues in Matthew 28:16-20 with Jesus’s final commandment: what the Church has dubbed “The Great Commission.” Senior Pastor Matt McFadden shows us that SouthCrest’s vision and mission are rooted in this commandment, and he calls us to begin our “Go!” from where we rise in the morning, and to be always prayerful and ready to go where God is calling us to go.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 9/24/23. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden explores Thomas’s doubts about Jesus’s resurrection as our journey through the Bible continues in John 20:24-31. We discover is God disappointed by our doubts and questions regarding our faith as a Christian?
