Wednesday night, Pastor Chris (Chris Tidwell) starts with a hard day at work — one meeting after another, a million-dollar helicopter transmission rolled over in the back of a FedEx truck — and makes the point that none of that gets to take the joy of our salvation. Then he takes us to Matthew 13 and the merchant who found one pearl and sold everything he had to buy it. A pearl is not carved out of rock or made with fire. It starts with an irritant that gets inside the oyster

Pastor Chris Tidwell preaches from 2 Chronicles 7:14, Joshua 3:5 and Psalm 139 on the work that comes before the outpouring. God prepares the vessel before He fills it, and the preparation is not our neighbor's job. It is ours. Preached August 2, 2026.
