No Time to Waste
January 4, 2026 • Ted Bryant
When the calendar turns and a new year stretches out before us, we’re reminded that time is a gift—and how we use it matters. A new series began with Grit, launching with Week 1: No Time to Waste. Together, we leaned into the reality that we all have the same amount of time each day, yet how we choose to spend it reveals what we value most. Through Scripture, we were challenged to consider God’s rhythm of work and rest and how living with intention shapes our faith. As we reflected on Jesus’ teachings and shared in communion, we were reminded to stay ready, faithful and grounded in what truly lasts. At the start of a new year, we were invited to live with grit—using our time wisely, resting well and trusting God with every moment we’ve been given.
Our True Home
December 28, 2025 • Ted Bryant
When the year begins to slow and our hearts look toward what’s next, we’re reminded where home is truly found. Christmas at Granger continued with Our True Home. As we leaned into listening and obeying Jesus in our everyday lives, we were reminded that staying close to Him is what anchors us. As we closed out 2025, we were invited to find our home in Jesus alone. In a season of reflection and fresh beginnings, we were reminded that God is our rock, our shelter, our resting place and our strength—the foundation on which we build our lives.
Christmas Eve Service
December 24, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This Christmas Eve at Granger, we gathered for a meaningful, candlelit service—pausing together to reflect, worship and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Whether families arrived hand in hand, friends filled the rows, or guests joined us for the first time, the room was filled with warmth, reverence and joy. In the quiet glow of candlelight, we were reminded again that Jesus came for every one of us—and there is always a place for you here.
No Place Like Home
December 7, 2025 • Ted Bryant
Just when we think we’ve settled into what feels familiar—our routines, expectations and sense of belonging—God reminds us that home is more than a place. In Week 1 of Christmas at Granger, No Place Like Home, we explored what it really means to belong. Through the story of Mary and Elizabeth, we’re reminded that God meets us in connection, community and unexpected moments of grace. Home isn’t just where we live—it’s where God is forming love, trust and purpose within us.
Into The Water
November 23, 2025 • Ted Bryant
Right when we think we have life figured out, God has a way of redirecting us for something greater. In Week 4 of our series, On the Run, we stepped “Into the Water.” Sometimes life takes a turn we didn’t expect—detours, delays or moments that leave us unsure of what’s next. But just like Jonah, when we surrender and step into God’s plan, He can use even the unexpected to change lives, restore hope and move His purpose forward. And this weekend was extra special as we celebrated baptisms—stories of life change, obedience and new beginnings.
The Wrong Direction
November 2, 2025 • Ted Bryant
Even when we drift off course, God never stops pursuing us. In Week 1 of our series, On the Run, we began with “The Wrong Direction”—a look at how fear, pride or stubbornness can pull us off course. Yet even in our disobedience, God’s compassion and grace meet us right where we are. He invites us to turn back, trust His plans and follow the path He’s already prepared. Missed the message?

Breaking Free
October 19, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: Freedom is possible—no matter how stuck we feel. In Week 3 of our series, Stuck, we talked about what it means to break free. No matter what we’ve done or where we come from, Jesus offers a way out of the patterns that hold us back. The path to freedom has already been made available—but it’s up to us to choose it.

The Jesus Method
September 28, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: The Jesus Method can be applied in practical ways that can help us right here and right now. In Week 4 of our series, The Jesus Method, Ted Bryant walked us through how we can take on Jesus’ approach—to see people the way He does and to enter every conversation with love, understanding and care.

My Megaphone
September 14, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: God wants to shape the way we use our words and influence. In Week 2 of our series, The Jesus Method, we talked about our desire to share our experiences and perspectives—whether online or face-to-face. We wrestled with this question: How can we communicate in a way that builds relationships instead of breaking them? We all want to make an impact and be heard, but we need God’s help to do it in His way. Missed the message? Catch up now!
Rights Vs. Relationship
September 7, 2025 • Ted Bryant
In this message, we uncovered a life-changing reminder: God is still transforming lives today. In Week 1 of our series, The Jesus Method, we talked about how the method that Jesus uses is brilliantly placed in the context of His day, but it gives choice to prioritize relationship for each of us. Learning how to contextualize the way you see people will help you invite them into taking a step towards Jesus. Missed the message? Catch up now!
Toxic Voices
August 17, 2025 • Ted Bryant
In this message, we uncovered a powerful truth: the voices we allow into our lives can either bring life or poison our hearts, minds and souls. In Week 3 of our series, Voices, Ted Bryant helped us examine the toxic voices we face—complaining, negativity, gossip, rudeness and even false positivity. We learned that these voices can shape our outlook and relationships in destructive ways, but God offers us a better way. Through Colossians 3, Galatians 5, and Philippians 4:8, we were reminded of what Godly voices sound like—voices that build up, encourage and bring peace. We were challenged to let God cleanse us from the toxicity around us so His truth can guide our lives. Missed the message? Catch up now!
So Much Noise
August 3, 2025 • Ted Bryant
In this message, we uncovered a powerful truth: the voices around us can be overwhelming, but learning to listen carefully lets us hear God’s voice above all the noise. In Week 1 of our series, Voices, Ted Bryant helped us explore how to discern godly voices from those that bring shame and condemnation. We learned to recognize the difference between God’s conviction—which leads us to growth—and the enemy’s lies that weigh us down with shame. We reflected on the contrast between Lady Folly and Lady Wisdom in Proverbs as a guide for choosing the right voices to follow. Missed the message? Catch up now!
How Do I Do This?
June 8, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This past weekend, we reflected on a powerful truth: so much of what God wants us to accomplish takes endurance—and that kind of endurance starts with spiritual fitness. In Week 1 of our new series, HOW TO, Ted Bryant reminded us that lasting impact doesn’t come from head knowledge alone. It comes from listening to God and obeying Him—especially when it’s not easy. We shared communion together as a church family and took a moment to realign our hearts, laying aside fear, pressure and performance in favor of trust, obedience and a long faithfulness in the same direction.

Authentic Impact
June 1, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This past weekend, we reflected on a powerful truth: real transformation doesn’t come through fear, comparison, achievement or money — it comes through Jesus. During IMPACT WEEKEND, we celebrated baptism and heard incredible stories of people who’ve experienced freedom, restoration and purpose by choosing to follow Jesus. Some shared how past summer camp experiences helped shape their faith, while others described the life-changing decision to step into the water and leave behind pressure, fear and striving. Jesus is still writing new stories today—just like the woman at the well, the Ethiopian official, and the man set free from spiritual bondage. Their lives were changed—and so are ours.

Dare To Compare
May 11, 2025 • Ted Bryant
This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: we compare to try and improve and be better, but what if there’s a dark side to comparison — one that hustles us out of who God made us to be and the impact He designed each of us to have? Comparison can sneak in quietly, making us question our worth, our calling and even our identity. But God’s design for each of us is intentional and unique — and chasing someone else’s path can cause us to miss our own. Jesus offers freedom from the pressure to measure up. Instead of striving to be like someone else, we’re invited to live confidently in who He created us to be. Missed the message? Go back and watch it now — you don’t want to miss how this truth can reshape your week.
