FEARLESS

What does it cost to follow Jesus? In Count Us In, Fearless LA opens Luke 14 and looks at why Jesus asked a crowd to count the cost of becoming his disciples. Hebrews 5 brings that challenge into everyday life. What would it look like to put the Word into practice when it's time to forgive, make an apology, or trust Jesus first? The message closes with an invitation to receive the life Jesus gives and say, "God, you can count me in."

Jesus is building His church, and He invites us to build with Him. In Breaking the Cycle, Pastor Jeremy Johnson challenges the move from consumer to critic to cynic and calls us into a life of contribution, encouragement, and faith. Through Matthew 16 and 1 Corinthians 3, discover why success means doing what God called you to do, why what we build matters, and how serving alongside Jesus changes our relationship with the work. What is your next step toward saying, "God, use my life"?

Why Not Us? Why Not Here? Why Not Now? — Part Two Jesus is building His church—and He's inviting you to be part of it. In this message from our Red Letter Revival series, Pastor Jeremy Johnson explores Matthew 16 and challenges us to move beyond attending church to becoming active participants in what God is building. From the keys of the kingdom to the mess of a construction site, this message reminds us that growth takes commitment, community, and a willingness to be changed. What excuses are keeping you on the sidelines? Where is God asking you to put down roots, extend forgiveness, or begin serving? You don't have to be finished for God to use your life. Stay through the end for prayer and an update on Fearless LA's Harvest Hands vision for a home in Hollywood. If this message encourages you, follow the podcast and share it with someone who needs the reminder: God is still building, and there's a place for you.

What changes when we stop carrying God's dream as though everything depends on us? Pastor Jeremy Johnson shares a message about becoming the church, trusting Jesus to build what belongs to Him, and surrendering the weight we were never meant to carry alone. Through Isaiah 61, Matthew 16, and stories from the journey of Fearless LA, this message invites us to offer God our lives, our gifts, and our obedience. Why not us? Why not here? Why not now?

Are you bearing real spiritual fruit, or just looking the part? This Fearless LA sermon explores Matthew 7 and John 15 to show why lasting transformation begins with remaining in Jesus. Continuing through the red letters of Jesus, this message moves from the narrow gate to good and bad trees, false prophets, and the vine and branches. Through a vivid plastic fruit illustration and a personal second chance testimony, we are challenged to move beyond Sunday attendance and cultivate a daily relationship with Christ. Discover how your source shapes your fruit, why discipleship matters on the narrow road, and how God's grace leads to a changed life. Jesus is the vine. We are the branches. Real fruit comes from remaining in Him. Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:13–20, John 15:5–8, Galatians 5:22–23.

What happens after you hear the Word? In Matthew 7, Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with four urgent comparisons: two gates, two trees, two responses to God's will, and two foundations. Each one asks the same question: now that you have heard the truth, what will you do with it?  Pastor Jeremy Johnson challenges us to move beyond simply admiring Jesus and give him final authority over every part of life. The narrow gate is not about earning salvation. It is an invitation to surrender the pride, bitterness, control, compromise, and self rule that cannot follow us into the life God has prepared. The altar is calling. Will you let it alter you? Subscribe to Fearless LA and share this message with someone who needs it. Scripture: Matthew 7:13 to 29

Jesus gave the disciples a word before the storm began: "Let us go over to the other side." When the wind became violent and Jesus appeared silent, fear convinced them that God no longer cared. In this message from Fearless LA, discover why the storm does not cancel what God spoke, how worry can reinterpret the evidence, and why the word must be planted deeply in your heart. God has not abandoned you in the middle. There is still a word in your boat. If this message speaks to you, share it with someone walking through a storm and tell us in the comments what you are believing God for. Fearless Church is a Los Angeles-based church built on one belief — that perfect love drives out fear. Led by Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson, we exist to help people live freely, find purpose, and experience the life-changing love of Jesus Christ.

What they intended for harm, God can use for good. In The Divine Override, Pastor Christi walks through the life of Joseph and shows how God works through betrayal, delay, suffering, and rejection without allowing those experiences to define our identity. Joseph received a dream, but God did not show him every painful scene between the promise and its fulfillment. The pit, slavery, false accusation, and prison became places of preparation. Even after everything Joseph endured, his heart remained open enough for mercy and the redemptive purpose of God to flow through him. Your pain does not disqualify you. Your weakness does not cancel your calling. God can use what tried to break you to bring freedom to someone else. If you are walking through an unexpected detour, waiting for a promise, or healing from betrayal, this message is for you.

Jesus is at a table with the religious elite when someone romanticizes a future feast in heaven, missing that the King of the universe is sitting right in front of him. Jesus answers with the parable of the great banquet from Luke 14: a master's guests all make excuses to skip his feast, so he sends his servant into the streets, the alleys, and the highways to bring in the poor, the crippled, and the outcast, because there is still room. This message is about identity before performance. You do not serve to become a son, you serve because you already are one, and the table is already set. It closes with a true story about a Hollywood outreach event, a microphone that died mid sermon, and a homeless man named Cardboard who was closer to the edge than anyone knew.
