Messages - great preaching, Biblical, funny, interesting stories

If you are looking for a speaker that really tries to connect with his audience, Jeremy works hard to make his messages practical, relatable, and understandable. Since 2003, Jeremy has been working on his skills as a speaker and takes the job of bringing God's Word to the listeners seriously. In fact, his #1 goal when he started preaching was "Don't be boring!" Jeremy comes across as a regular guy - not putting himself "above" those he is teaching.

If you are searching for a good church, we know we are the place for you. Feel free to check out the "New Here" page linked below where you can find the answers to all your questions. If you have never been to our church before, come by this Sunday! We would love to get to know you. God bless.

💐🪷🪻We all know that good parents make a good family. There are some good mothers in the Bible. There are also some bad ones. Mary, the mother of Jesus, very good. There is another mother obscurely hidden away in 2 Timothy named Eunice. Though we don't know a great deal about her, we can conclude that being a good mom will help many young men and women into God's plan for their lives.

What if you could hear from one of Jesus’ closest followers?

Someone who knew Jesus, walked and talked with Jesus…

The apostle Peter’s life was radically changed by Jesus.

Peter was a man who struggled with anger, had a problem sticking his foot in his mouth.

He often talked a big talk, but when the time came, He actually let Jesus down in a big way.

But Jesus was patient, and never gave up on Peter.

And Peter ended up doing great things for Jesus!

Well, the apostle Peter is going to be at Impact this Sunday!

Come listen to his story as he tells his experience of being changed by Jesus

Do you feel the desire to help others, but you don't have enough time or money to spare? Do you find yourself thinking, "I would love to help that person, but I just don't have the time?" OR, "I would really love to help that situation, but I just don't have the money?"

This is called having No Margin in your life.

You haven't left room in your schedule or budget to help others.

But there is Hope! You can simplify your life! There are steps you can take to simplify your life and create margin, so that you can help more people the next time opportunity arises.

😫😓🤦🏽‍♂️ Do you feel overwhelmed and too busy with life, and wonder how you got this way? Do you ever feel the desire to help others, but it always seems like you don't have enough time or money to spare? There might be an underlying reason behind this that you haven't thought about. The problem is a Lack of Margin - no extra time or money built in to help others. But there is a deeper, root issue that creates the Lack of Margin, a Domino Effect that starts with Materialism. If you would like to actually start creating More Margin for Helping Others, Join us This Sunday ⏰ 11:15 am Sunday

👱🏽‍♂️⛹🏽‍♂️🦸‍♂️Who did you want to be growing up? We all looked up to certain people growing up that we wanted to be like, maybe even celebrities. There's a fine line between looking up to someone and idolizing someone. When it comes to Christianity, we need to keep Jesus on the throne, which means: -We shouldn't elevate spiritual heroes or famous preachers to Messiah status. -We shouldn't keep ourselves on the throne when it's supposed to be Jesus!

We shouldn't build our own kingdom, instead, we should do things to build God's kingdom.

🖊📈👩‍👦 Did you ever make marks on the wall to show someone getting taller? What about spiritually? Have you grown spiritually lately? How would you know? What marks could you use to see if you have grown in your Christian faith? When we grow physically, it’s pretty obvious. But spiritual growth is not as obvious. If you have felt stuck spiritually, and you are looking for ways to grow, This message will show you ways to grow! Or maybe you have been growing and just haven’t noticed, And this message will help you say, “Wow, I HAVE been growing spiritually!” And either way, this will inspire you to shoot for new marks in your spiritual growth!

📈🤔⛪ Do you feel like your relationship with God has grown stagnant? Like you have hit a plateau? Or maybe you have just been looking for some new ways to grow... Are you a new Christian and you wonder what you are supposed to do next? Get ready, because we are about to talk about several different ways to grow - all of them super practical, all of them can be done by anybody. So many people feel unequipped to live a Christian life. It's time to take things to the next level! Out of all the New Year resolutions you can make, the resolve to grow spiritually is by far the most important. Watch along and get ready to go and ready to grow!

🙃❄ Agree or Disagree: Christmas can be Messy? Do you wish you could actually experience peace during the Christmas season? Are difficult family relationships killing your Christmas spirit? Do you have doubts that Jesus can really help a person like you? Follow along as we begin a New Series called "A Different Kind of Christmas." People love to imagine this sanitized version of the Christmas story - that everything was perfect. But the real Christmas story was far from perfect! If situations were difficult for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, Christmas can be difficult for us, too. We're going to look at the 1st Christmas, but we'll point out some different parts of the story that you may not have heard before. Hopefully, this series will give you a new perspective on Jesus and hope for your life!

😢🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Have you had something bad happen that you felt was unfair? Have you wondered why God allows certain things to happen? Did those bad events cause you to doubt God's goodness? How would we know that we can in fact trust God's character? As we have been saying for the past few weeks, If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus, and when we look at Jesus, we see someone who truly cares about people at a deep level. He had compassion for people who were suffering, and He did something about it. Watch this message as we look at how two sisters - Mary and Martha - suffer a devastating loss. But through this incident, we see the heart of Jesus.

🤝🏽‍👱‍♂️Jesus had a huge heart for people! One of the ways you see the heart of Jesus is through His leadership. When you look at Jesus' leadership, you see a Shepherd who takes good care of the people He leads. He actually cares about people and knows them by name. He keeps watch over His people and makes sure everyone is OK. 🧔🏾🐑The more you see Jesus' heart for people, the more you want to follow Him. If you don't already know Jesus, we think seeing this picture of Jesus as a Good Shepherd will make you want to follow Him more! If you do know Jesus, this lets you appreciate the type of person Jesus is - all over again.

🧍✝️💖When someone stands up to a bully, do you respect that? What about when someone is willing to die to protect someone else? What if we told you that Jesus loves you and would die for you BEFORE you have even done anything for Him? We continue our series "Get to Know and Love Jesus". Pastor Jeremy leads the way in making the case that you will love Jesus because He consistently showed that He is a Defender and a Protector. We hope that through this Message, you will come to know and love Jesus as we have.

🤔❔✝️💖Have you ever wondered any of these questions about God? - Is there a God? If so, what is He like? - How do we know that God is real? - Is there a good reason to believe in God? - And what about Jesus? How does He fit into this discussion? Follow along as we start a New Series: Get to Know and Love Jesus. Here's what we believe: - There IS a God, and if you want to know what God is like -Look at Jesus. And when you look at Jesus, you are going to LOVE what you see! Whether you are not yet a believer and want to get to know Jesus, or you are a long-time believer and want to get to know Jesus on a deeper level, you are welcome at our church This Sunday!

Have you taken on the attitude that you don’t need anyone else in life? Or that you only need 1 other person – a spouse – to be happy? How many of you – if you are honest with yourself – used to enjoy life a lot more? Now you look back and you think, Man, I don’t have fun like I used to? Or maybe you’ve convinced yourself that your quality of life is fine, but deep down – you know something is missing… There IS more to be had in life, but you have to follow God’s design. And God hard-wired us for community. Join us This Sunday to learn more about God's design and our need for other people in our life. Find the fulfillment and joy you were meant to have! Watch this video to learn more about the fulfillment we can have when we follow God's design and lean into others.

⏰💨 Do you ever feel like life is flying by you really fast? Do you feel like you are over-booked, overworked, and over-stressed? Romans 14 describes what our Christian life SHOULD BE like: Romans 14:7 – “For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” So, do you feel like you are living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit? If your life feels chaotic and the opposite of peace and joy, It’s time to re-prioritize your life. Join us to learn how to re-prioritize the activities of your life so that you can finally experience the peace and joy you were meant to have.

☺🙏❤ Find Fulfillment by Learning to Walk Closely with God. Do you wish you could feel a stronger sense of God’s leading, God’s teaching, God’s presence in your life? Have you felt your closeness with God fades? Do you wonder what you could do to get that “closer to God” feeling back? Many people are searching for fulfillment, but many are searching in the wrong places. Fulfillment daily is found through learning to walk closely with God. Watch this lesson as Pastor Jeremy teaches us very practical ways from the Bible how to walk more closely with God, and through that walk with God, we find a sense of true fulfillment!

Do you feel like something is seriously missing in your life? That there's got to be more than what you are experiencing? If you are a Christian, did you initially have a cloud-nine experience when you became a Christian, but that feeling quickly faded? What happened? You think to yourself: " Was I given a false picture that things would be better if I became a Christian? Was there something more I was supposed to do? Did I miss part of the instructions? Whatever it is, I definitely don't feel the peace and joy I expected..." If you have thought these thoughts, you are not the only one. Jesus DID say that He came to give us an extraordinary life. The problem is, that there are many factors why you may not be experiencing a better life. Over the next few weeks, we will be exploring these factors and how to overcome them. God does want MORE for you, but YOU have to take hold of it. How badly do you want more for yourself, and what are you willing to do to get it? The first thing to do is Join us at 11:30 am to learn how to Live the Extraordinary Life!

-📈🌱 How can you tell if you have matured in your faith? Do you find yourself evaluating churches through a consumer mindset? What are your expectations when you go to church? Do you go to church looking for what you can get or what you can give? -We all start off somewhere in our faith. Thankfully, Jesus meets us where we are! But He loves us too much to leave us there. As we grow, our mindset and attitude towards church should mature as our understanding of the Bible grows. Watch as we look at the ways our mindset should mature.

The Power of Adding Value to Others 🤝🤗🙋‍♀️ Who has been helpful to you? Who has taught you something? Who has made you a better person? *Are YOU that person to others? • Are YOU helpful to others? • Have YOU taught someone else something? • Have YOU made someone else a better person? Why should people listen to you? Follow your lead? Take your suggestions? Why should people listen to you when you invite them to church or tell about Jesus? Because you Add Value to them. Watch as we learn this powerful principle of Adding Value to Others.

🧔🤝👨🏿‍🦲Want to make more friends, get more raises/promotions at work, get more people to help you? Learn how to Connect with Other People. Have you ever wondered why some people can connect with people better? Maybe you even thought, “They must just naturally have that bubbly personality, bubbly, friendly, etc.” But what if we told you connecting with others is a skill anyone can learn? Watch as we continue our series “Becoming a Person of Influence.” Learn how to become more influential by learning how to Connect with People on a Relational Level.

🔥💪🤝When you talk, do people listen? Do people care what you are saying? Do people follow your lead? If you suggest a certain movie or restaurant, do people take your suggestion or shrug you off? Have you ever wished people would do your ideas or follow your lead more? God’s desire is that we would be people of influence. He wants us to be the kind of people that would shape our world for the better. He wants us to make an impact on the people around us. In order to do that, we need to learn how to be people of influence. Follow along as we kick off a New Series: Becoming a Person of Influence.

Taking communion (the Lord’s Supper) has been a significant moment of Christian worship for 2,000 years. • What is the significance of communion? • How often did the first Christians take communion, and how often should we take it? Should we take it weekly, monthly, or quarterly? • What are we supposed to be focusing on during communion? The Lord’s Supper is something Christians should make a high priority. Watch as we study Why Communion is so important and why Christians need to make this a priority in their.

Life Is Tough, But Be Patient. the Lord Will Return Soon | Impact Church Reynoldsburg. 😢😣🤦‍🤦🏾‍♂️ Have you been through difficult situations lately? How many are going through tough circumstances RIGHT NOW? How do you stay encouraged? How does the second coming of Jesus help us to persevere? If you need encouragement to hang in there, Watch as we receive a word of encouragement from the book of James. Jesus is coming back again, and He will take His people with Him to heaven!

🤷‍⛪✝ Why should anyone believe Jesus rose from the dead? -What difference does it make in your life? -Is there any evidence why we can believe in the Resurrection? While some people may think a person coming back from the dead sounds crazy or like a fairy tale, there actually are many good reasons to believe Jesus came back from the dead. There is a reason why 2,000 years later, there is still a movement of Jesus' followers. This Easter, we want you to Consider Jesus. Consider who Jesus is, consider the facts about Jesus, and consider following Him!.

The Aliens Have Landed. *Did you know that according to the Bible, this world is not our home? *Did you know that because we are aliens, God has placed expectations on us that we would be different from the other people in the world? *When other people watch how you live, do they see a difference between you and the rest of the world? Our citizenship is in heaven. And in that sense, the Bible refers to Christians as aliens This topic matters today. It matters in the eyes of God- He has given us expectations of how we should live and it matters in the world because- if they don't see anything different in us, there is nothing to attract them to God. Are you ready to be an alien?

Have you ever been asked to do something that you knew was going to be hard to learn? Have you gotten caught in a trap of thinking "I can't do it?" Do you ever have thoughts of "I don't have much to offer to the world?" Are you dealing with a situation right now? Would you like to have victory? In Chapter 6 and 7 in the book of Judges, you will learn some valuable life lessons. If you've ever struggled with self doubt. If you are going through a time where you need something good to happen. If you've ever wondered if God can really use you for His purpose... This message is for you. Watch this video as we talk about The Keys to Victory in Your Life.

Let me ask you this morning: • When you fall on hard times financially, who or what do you depend on to get you through? • When it comes to wanting direction for the future, who or what do you turn to? Psychics? Eight balls? Fortune cookies? Horoscopes? • If someone was watching you from the outside, what would they say is the most important thing to you--the thing you live for? This is a really important topic: God wants us to put Him first, to live for Him, to make a difference in this world, to stay on God's path until we make it to heaven. The devil wants to distract us to focus on things other than God, to take us away from church and living for God, and to drag us down to hell with him.

The face of America has changed a lot in the past century. In 1940, teachers were asked to identify the top problems in public schools. They answered, “talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise.” In 1990 when teachers were asked the same questions, their responses were, “drug and alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery, and assault.” So, what has caused this? How did we get to where we are today? We can speculate many things, but I would submit to you that everything we are seeing boils down to ONE MAIN FACTOR: there is no respect for God and His Word. So the questions for followers of Jesus are: • How do we keep from getting pulled away from God as our culture changes? • What are the factors that lead to Christians falling away from the faith? • Is there anything we can do as parents/guardians/grandparents to keep our kids on God’s path? What key actions could Christians do to keep themselves grounded in the faith? Watch this Video as Jeremy unpacks what has caused us to get to where we are, and how we can keep our loved ones on God's path.

What if we lived in a world where there was no definite standard of truth, no standard of right and wrong? Where do we get our standards for right and wrong--whatever our society says? Should morality be decided by each individual person? Is there an objective standard for right and wrong that cuts across all cultures and all people groups? Should we be concerned when cultures change their definitions of right and wrong? What could be the possible consequences of changing the standards in our society? Watch as Jeremy connects the society during the book of Judges to the culture of today in America.

When your faith is shaken - do you hold on tighter or let go? What keeps you going in your faith when times get tough? Do you go to prayer? Reach out to brothers and sisters in Christ? Something else? In this world where life is really difficult - it can cause us to question our faith and even question God. Sometimes we need encouragement to hold onto faith and not let go. That's what this message is about. Watch this video as Jeremy gives a message from the book of Hebrews how to stay strong in the faith.

What if I told you that somebody's life could be changed just by you doing 1 simple thing? This amazing story from the Bible shows how Jesus encounters a woman at a well and uses some really amazing techniques to lead this lady into the family of God. This amazing story shows how an uneducated lady without any Bible training led tons of people to Jesus simply by sharing her experience with Jesus. There are people that are ripe and ready to have their lives changed, and simply by sharing our stories of how God has changed our lives, we can be part of changing peoples' lives! Jeremy teaches in a very understanding and practical way how anyone can share their testimony.

Have you ever lost something like a credit card - ordered a replacement - and then found the original card? We know what it means to have something lost, but what does it mean to be lost in the spiritual sense? Does everyone go to heaven when they die, as our culture seems to think? Who is responsible for telling others about Jesus? What if we told you the answer is: All Christians? In this Message, Jeremy explains why as disciples of Jesus we need to be concerned for those who are lost in the spiritual sense. He gives practical ways to reach out to the people around us.

Imagine that you have learned from the Bible that God wants you to help others in need. You look for opportunities, but it seems like every time there's an opportunity, you had to be at something else. There was that time someone needed help on the side of road, but you were on your way to take your daughter to a soccer game. The church invited you to feed the homeless with them, but your family had already planned to go to the lake that weekend. Or consider this example. You have seen several opportunities to help people financially, but every time something comes up, you don't have any extra money to help. It's not that you don't want to help, but with the mortgage payment, the two car payments, the cable package, the family data plan for your family's 4 phones, the kids' sports and extracurricular activity expenses, you just don't seem to have any extra money to help when the opportunities come up. What does God want me to do? Can anyone relate to this? All of these are examples are of people who have no MARGIN in their life. (Like margin on a piece of paper.) In this message, Jeremy explains that if we are going to serve others as Jesus calls us to, we are going to have to learn how to create Margin in our lives - when it comes to our schedules and when it comes to our Money.Imagine that you have learned from the Bible that God wants you to help others in need.

Jesus prayed that there would be unity among believers - yet sadly, there are many different denominations with hundreds of variations within the denominations, themselves. Is it possible to learn which things are truly essential and agree to disagree on things that are not essential? In matters of faith - unity. In matters of opinion - liberty. In all things - love. In this lesson, Jeremy lays out some principles that help Christians have unity in beliefs. Using 1 Cor. 15:1-8 and Ephesians 4:1-6 (the "seven ones"), we get a good foundation of essential beliefs.

How do you react when friction happens? Do you avoid the conflict and hope it goes away on its own? Do you quit on the church and move on to another church? Did you know there is a healthy way to handle friction, and there is an unhealthy way to handle friction? Did you know that God has spoken on how he wants us to handle friction? There is a Biblical way to handle friction. The more time you spend with your church family, the more opportunity there will be for friction or conflict. This is only natural, because we are humans! The important thing is how to work through conflict in a HEALTHY way - in the way God prescribed for us in the Bible. Watch this video to see how we can be a closer, healthier church family.

How do you view the church? Do you see the church as a family or as a social club? Do you let consumer mentality influence how you think about the church? Is your thinking "the church exists to serve me" or do you think "how can I contribute my gifts and help others in the church?" How you view the church affects everything. Consumerism is the American way, but if we let consumerism affect our thinking about the church, we might think things like, "the church has to earn my business... they better have great music, great preaching, great programs, or I won't be a part of that church... and if they don't continue to give "great service," then I will pack up and go to another church down the street." Jesus prayed for unity - that we would be a tight-knit family. That we would think about how we can love one another and help our brothers and sisters in Christ. This message is crucial to understand if we're going to have unity. May we take this message into our hearts and let it bring us closer together as a church family.

Does anyone else feel like this life is difficult sometimes? Have you ever wished you had some help in this life? Why is it important that we spend time together more than just on Sunday? Why is it important that we take fellowship outside the walls? Because life is tough, and we need each other’s help to get through it. We’ve got Satan shooting flaming arrows at us constantly – arrows of discouragement, arrows of burdens, arrows of temptation, and it’s going to take a group effort to overcome him. AMEN? I said, Satan is shooting flaming arrows at us and it’s going to take a group effort to overcome him. Life is tough, and it’s going to take more than just a worship service to truly help each other.s to God is through giving offering

Have you ever wondered why God chose to use blood as a means to be forgiven from our sins? This video clip has powerful imagery to help us understand better why God used blood to show His true love for us! Sacrifice = True Love God loves you more than you will EVER know!!! When you realize how much He loves you what does that make you want to do for Him in return? His loves for us makes us want to love Him back and sacrifice back to Him! The essence of worship is to realize What God Has Done for You, Then to offer him praise and thanks. That praise and thanks can take many forms – singing, prayer, studying God’s Word, communion, and… One of the ways we show our thanks to God is through giving offering

The essence of worship is to realize What God Has Done for You, Then to offer him praise and thanks. That praise and thanks can take many forms – singing, prayer, studying God’s Word, communion, and… One of the ways we show our thanks to God is through giving offering When it comes to giving to God, this absolutely matters to every one of us. If you have ever wished God would give you more money, guess what: there is a direct relationship between our giving and how much money God allows us to have! If you have ever thought to yourself: WHY should I give offerings to God? We’re going to answer that as well.

We are forgetful creatures. Unless you have a photographic memory, we tend to forget things over time. And we need reminders. We need things that will jog our memory. And that leads us into a discussion about communion. Have you ever wondered questions about communion, like: What is communion all about? Why do we eat a piece of bread (or cracker) and drink fruit of the vine the juice or wine? Why does our church take communion every week? How do we make sure communion doesn’t lose its meaning? That’s actually the title to today’s message: How to keep communion from becoming commonplace?

How do we know what God's will is? How can we tell where God is leading us? We are talking about knowing God's will when it comes to specifics that He hasn't written about. Today we will dive into how to know God's will where He hasn't already written. How do I know which college to go to? How do I know which job to take? How do I know which person to marry? Should I get married? How do I know which house I should buy? Should I buy a house, or should I continue to rent for now? How do you discern God's will in those situations?

What is your response when you are faced with a tough decision in life? Do you seek to do right by others even when doing the right thing is a hard choice to make? What do you do when you are up against a dilemma in life? Is your first response to trust God and seek His advice? What is your reaction when life is met with delays and things are not going according to the plan? Today we will learn from the Characters of Christmas as we look at Joseph's life. Jesus' earthly father was faced with many difficult situations, but he honored God with every decision he made. Let’s look at some of the difficult situations he faced and how he honored God in spite of his circumstances.

If you were being hired to raise God’s son, would God hire you? What kind of qualities would God want to see in you before He gave you the job? Would He review your Facebook posts over the last few months to see what kind of content you post? LOL Would He care what kind of lifestyle you’ve been living? Would He ask you about your attitude and your willingness to do whatever it takes? Would He ask you about your willingness to have faith in the impossible? • (This kid is going to do some things that will blow your mind, that will challenge everything you’ve ever thought possible…) When God looked at Mary, He saw some amazing qualities that made Him say, “This is the one.” If we want to be a chosen vessel of God, We need to be pursuing the kind of qualities that Mary had. Let’s look at what those qualities were.

Today we are starting a Christmas series. Today we are going to be talking about the Wise Men. Do you think you are a wise person? You can be pretty smart, but not be smart in the ways of God. You can be really smart academically, or you can even be street smart, But you can be lacking in spiritual wisdom. Where are you with God right now? The wise men we are going to be talking about today were wise because they were seeking Jesus. We believe Jesus is the Son of God - the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Are you seeking Him out? Are you trying to get to know Jesus on a deeper level? Have you learned what it truly means to worship Jesus? What would worshipping Him look like? Do you bring gifts to Jesus that would be fitting for a King? Let’s see what the wise men did that made them so wise, And learn what we can do to follow their examples in today's day and age.

Have you ever wondered if you were praying the right way? Am I supposed to close my eyes? Am I supposed to be clasping my hands? What am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to address God as “Thou” and “Thee?” What if I told you that there are at least 4 different body positions to pray in according to the Bible? And that bowing your head and closing your eyes isn’t actually one of them? LOL This is not about a “right way to pray,” but simply to challenge you to consider other ways of praying. My hope today is to hopefully simplify prayer for you today if you have overcomplicated prayer. But I also hope everyone comes out of this teaching today with a higher reverence for God, and one of the ways we can honor God is through spending time with Him in prayer!

I have to say I love when my son calls me for advice… As we continue our series on God as Father, today we’re going to look at God helps us. Have you ever wondered if God is working in the middle of difficult situations? Does He just sit there watching, is He the one inflicting the pain, or is He trying to help us through the difficulty? If God is a Father, is He approachable? Does God want us coming to Him when we are in trouble? Find the answer to 2 questions in each passage: 1 – What is God or Jesus like 2 – What does God or Jesus do for us? Watch this video as Jeremy teaches us more about what God is like!
