“Dying for Access”

Pastor Chad digs deep into Romans 3 and reminds us of the weight of sin and the beauty of the gospel. ✨ Paul shows us that we all fall short—none of us are righteous on our own. Sin isn’t just something we stumble into; it’s what we naturally choose. But the good news is that God, in His justice, doesn’t leave us there.

Good Lies We Believe

Pastor Chad continued our Romans series by talking about the wrath of God. In times like these, it’s not always easy or comfortable to think about God’s wrath. But Pastor Chad reminded us that despite those feelings, we actually need God’s wrath. If grace is God’s love, His wrath is a reflection of His perfect justice.

What a night in Johnson County!

What if revival isn’t an event, but a new normal? In this Revive Week message, guest speaker Drew Worsham (pastor, church planter, and Christian illusionist) opens Acts 4 to show how the early church lived with a clear message, were marked by Jesus, and were motivated by the cross, and why we can’t “come have revival and then go back to normal.” Drew shares a memorable Rubik’s Cube illustration, powerful gospel clarity, and a call to move from performance to proximity to Jesus. If you’ve ever felt spiritually “scrambled,” this message will help you place your life in the hands of the One who can truly transform it. Key Scriptures: Acts 4:1–22; Ephesians 2:1–5; John 15:1–5; Romans 1:16 Big Idea: The gospel isn’t about making bad people good; it’s about making dead people alive in Christ. 3 Anchors from Acts 4 Message Was Clear — “There is salvation in no one else…” (Acts 4:12) Marked by Jesus — People could tell they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). Motivated by the Cross — “We cannot help but speak…” (Ac

Pastor Phil wrapped up our Multipliers series with such a powerful reminder: God’s plan has always been to build Himself a family and a kingdom without end (Gen. 1:26–28).

In this powerful message, guest speaker Andy Kampman unpacks The Map of a Multiplier. A call for every believer to live out the Great Commission both locally and globally. From small-town Iowa stories to the reality of reaching the nations, Andy challenges us to confront the lies we believe about missions and embrace God’s bigger vision. Through Acts 1:6–8, discover how Jesus’ heart has always been for all people and how you can be part of His mission today, whether as a goer or a sender. This message is a reminder that God doesn’t just use “superstar Christians”, He uses ordinary people who put their “yes” on the table.

Discover why you were created and how to live with eternal purpose. In this powerful young adult sermon from Paradigm KC, Pastor Chad teaches what it means to glorify God in everything you do—whether at work, school, or in your relationships. Learn how to stop chasing empty idols, live with Kingdom impact, and multiply your faith into the lives of others. A sunflower lives for just 60 days, yet in its death comes its purpose: multiplication. In the same way, followers of Jesus are called to live for something far greater than themselves. In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks the ultimate “why” behind our calling—the glory of God. Whether you’re in Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Johnson County, or joining online, this message will challenge you to see your life through an eternal lens. Learn why God’s glory is the centerpiece of the Bible, why we so often miss it, and how to practically live every moment—from work to worship—for His name’s sake.

Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” And everything changed.

Sacrifice isn’t something we grow out of as Christians—it’s the foundation of our faith.

Just like sunflowers naturally turn toward the light for life, our hearts were made to turn toward Jesus for abundant life

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19–20)

“Clarity of marriage brings precision in pursuit.” Last night in our Soft Launch series, Pastor Jonathan broke down The Mission of Marriage

Last night was a fun one — but Pastor Jonathan also got very real with us! We continued in our dating series, Soft Launch, by identifying some of the dangers that can sneak into how we date:

Last night, Pastor Chad kicked off our new series “Soft Launch,” focused on dating in 2025. He reminded us that preparing for relationships starts long before we meet someone. We need to be intentional about getting ourselves ready to date and eventually start a family. Here’s how: 1. Grow biblically 2. Live sacrificially 3. Assume responsibility We also need clarity on what we’re looking for—alignment in faith, family values, and a shared vision for the future. The Bible gives us a framework for recognizing a godly spouse, especially through passages like John 29 and Proverbs 31. We were encouraged not to rush into dating. Take time to really get to know someone—talk to their friends, observe their character, and seek God’s wisdom. And most importantly, stay open to what the Lord may bring. Be willing to make or take the offer when the time is right. This is about launching with purpose, not pressure. Missed last night’s message? Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Musi

Pastor Phil continued our “Rest on Us” series with a powerful and timely message on spiritual warfare. As children of God, it’s essential that we recognize both who we are fighting against and how to prepare for the battle. Spiritual warfare is real—just as real as the physical world we live in. Every day, we are engaged in a battle that isn’t visible to the natural eye but has very real consequences. If we don’t understand our adversary, we risk being overcome. That’s why awareness and preparation are vital. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us of the true nature of our struggle: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Satan is a master of deception. He knows how to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, twist the truth, and build arguments that subtly turn us away from God. His attacks often come in the form of mental and emotional warfare—aimed at discouragin

The Holy Spirit isn’t just with us—He equips us! Last night we were reminded by Pastor Chad to: 1️⃣ Discover your gift – God has already called and equipped you (Romans 11:29). 2️⃣ Develop it – Surrender it back to Him and grow in it (Romans 12:1-2). 3️⃣ Deploy it – Use it not for yourself but to glorify God (Romans 12:3-8).

Last night, Pastor Jonathan guided us through Part 3 of our Rest On Us series!
