Who’s Your One? We all have someone in our lives who needs to know the hope, love, and freedom found in Jesus. In this series, we’re challenging ourselves to identify our One, pray for our One, and believe God for what He can do in their life. Your One could be a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or anyone God has placed on your heart. You may not know what God will do through one invitation, one conversation, or one prayer but you can trust that He can use you to make a difference.

What if God isn’t asking you to build the church—but simply to bring people to Jesus? In this powerful message, Pastor Micaiah walks through Matthew 16 and the promise of Jesus: “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Jesus is the Builder. We are the Bringers. The church isn’t called to sit back and be afraid of the gates of darkness. We are called to advance with the love, truth, and freedom of Jesus. We’re called to bring hope to our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and city. Through the story of Andrew, we see what it looks like to live as a Bringer. Andrew may not have written books or preached recorded sermons, but his greatest contribution was simple: he brought people to Jesus. He brought his brother Peter—and Peter would eventually see 3,000 people come to faith in one day. You never know what God has placed inside the person you bring. As Southridge steps into this season of building, the reminder is clear: God will take care of the Great Construction. Our responsibility is the Great Commission. So, who is your one? Who is the person God has placed on your heart to bring closer to Jesus? Don’t come alone. Bring someone with you.

What happens in your home matters. In the final message of our Home Field Advantage series, we look at Joshua 24:15 and the powerful declaration: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” We may not be able to control the culture around us, but we can choose the culture we create inside our homes. The values we celebrate, the things we tolerate, the way we treat one another, and the faith we model all shape the next generation. The goal isn't to raise perfect kids. It's to build homes where Jesus is known, faith is lived out, and God's goodness is remembered from generation to generation. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15

What are we forming in the next generation?In Judges 13, Manoah asks God a simple but powerful question: “Teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.”In this message, Pastor Micaiah challenges parents, grandparents, mentors, and anyone who has influence over the next generation to stop simply hoping they'll “figure it out” and start intentionally forming them.We don't just raise children—we raise them to be released into a future we cannot see.Pastor Micaiah shares practical ways we can form the next generation:• Protect what makes them distinct• Teach them discipline• Give them discernment• Involve them in the work• Instruct them in the Word• Imprint on them how to worshipAnd through the story of Samson—and a powerful personal story— we're reminded that the last chapter isn't necessarily the final chapter.Your story isn't over. Their story isn't over. And God is still working.📖 Scripture: Judges 13, Proverbs 22:6, Psalm 127, Hebrews 11:32Watch the full message and ask yourself: God, what are You teaching me so I can teach them?
