BEYOND SUNDAY
[ THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE ]
“HARVEST HANDS”
by Pastor Jeremy Johnson
Pastor Jeremy cast the vision for Fearless Church to secure a permanent home in Hollywood, centering the entire message on the conviction that the church is the center of everything God does in the earth. From Ephesians 1, he established that Christ rules from galaxies to governments but puts His church at the center, then moved into Matthew 9 to reframe what most people see as brokenness in LA as a harvest field ripe for revival. He taught from Genesis 26 that Isaac had to re-dig wells his father Abraham had dug, fighting through contention and accusation before reaching Rehoboth (enlargement), and drew a direct parallel to Fearless Church's journey through obstacles to this building opportunity. The sermon culminated in a call for the congregation to give sacrificially toward acquiring the Nickelodeon building on Sunset Boulevard, declaring that the revival well is not in the ground but inside believers who refuse to quit.

THEY’RE RIPE
Pastor Jeremy reframes the brokenness of Los Angeles as a harvest field, teaching from Matthew 9 that Jesus looked at harassed and helpless crowds and didn't see a problem but a harvest ready to be gathered. He walks through Jesus sending the 12 and then the 72, showing that God is into multiplication, not just a select few, and lands powerfully on the truth that identity in Christ always outranks spiritual authority because who you are in God is the foundation of everything you carry.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1.) Pastor Jeremy said, "Where you see harm, God sees harvest." Is there a person or situation in your life right now that you've been viewing as hopeless instead of ripe for God to move? What would it look like to shift your perspective this week?
2.) Jesus warned the 72 not to rejoice in their authority but in their identity. Where in your life have you been chasing what you can do for God instead of resting in who you are to God? How does that shift change the way you walk into your week?
3.) Pastor Jeremy said revival doesn't look like more church services; it looks like the broken and the outcast filling the seats. Who is one person in your life who seems far from God that you could begin praying for and reaching out to this week?

DIG IT AGAIN
Pastor Jeremy taught from Genesis 26 that Isaac's calling was to re-dig wells his father had dug that the Philistines had filled with dirt, and each well came with a fight: first contention, then accusation, and finally Rehoboth, meaning "God has made room." He drew a direct line from this story to the journey of Fearless Church and the history of revival in LA, declaring that the enemy can put dirt in the well but cannot stop the water because he didn't start it and he can't end it.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1.) Pastor Jeremy named three wells: contention, accusation, and enlargement. Which well best describes the season you're in right now? What does it look like to keep digging instead of quitting?
2.) The Philistines didn't create the water. They just filled the well with dirt. What "dirt" has the enemy been using to discourage you from pursuing what God has promised you? What would it look like to start clearing it out?
3.) Pastor Jeremy said, "Anything worth having is worth fighting for." Is there a dream, calling, or promise from God that you've stopped fighting for because of opposition? What is one step you can take this week to pick the shovel back up?
