Jesus warns that Satan, the father of lies, silences truth by replacing it with clever deception. Lies can intimidate people into silence—until someone courageously speaks reality. Today, culture often says, “Your truth is your truth,” challenging Christians on issues of morality, justice, and identity. This week, we’ll explore how lies gain power only when truth-tellers […]

We are called to fan into flame our God-given gift and never be ashamed of the gospel. Fear—of rejection, ridicule, or losing influence—is one of Satan’s strongest tools to silence us, like a candle trapped under a jar that gives no light. This week, we’ll explore how fear keeps believers quiet in the workplace, at […]

The early church was commanded to stop speaking in Jesus’ name—but they couldn’t stay silent about what they had seen and heard. Like a whistleblower who refuses to cover up the truth, they stood firm despite cultural pressure. Today, Christians continue to face real forces that attempt to silence truth—social media algorithms, accusations of “intolerance,” […]

At the heart of the church — and our lives — is the Gospel. It is not an add-on or something optional, but the very heartbeat that gives us life and purpose. Our calling as a church is to bring a hurting world the hope of Jesus: a hope that is not shallow or temporary, […]

Every marriage faces the temptation to give up—to neglect, avoid, or let busyness take over. But God calls us to protect our marriages from drift and distraction by grounding them in the love we’ve already received from Him. Cherishing is not passive—it’s a decision. It’s choosing what kind of marriage you want and pursuing it […]

Cherishing doesn’t just happen—it’s a chosen mindset, a deliberate attitude we cultivate day by day. With practice, it can become the natural rhythm of our marriage, but it requires intentional effort and action. When we choose cherishing as our mindset, marriage becomes not a duty to endure, but a joy to treasure.

Every spouse is a unique gift from God—not a stereotype, not a copy of anyone else, but a one-of-a-kind reflection of His design. To cherish means beginning with understanding and empathy, choosing to truly know the heart of the one God has entrusted to us. When we choose to cherish our spouse as the unique […]

Cherishing our spouse goes beyond affection—it is about protecting their worth and value as a child of God. In this message, we’ll see that true love fights for our spouse, not against them. To cherish means going to war against the poison of contempt, which can so easily creep in through disappointment, frustration, and bitterness. […]

Marriage was never meant to be ordinary—it was designed by God to be extraordinary. In our new series, Cherish, we’ll discover how a Christian marriage can reflect the beauty of a ballet, where each partner supports, stabilizes, and lifts the other to shine in their God-given strengths. Join us for this life-giving series as we […]

When Scripture calls us to love one another, it is more than simply existing together—it is a call to cherish. To cherish is to put time, thought, and effort into honoring, showcasing, and protecting the one God has entrusted to us. Cherishing is not optional for a thriving, Christ-centered marriage—it is essential. May we choose […]

This two-verse doxology perfectly sums up our position on the battlefield. We are on the winning team, but not because of our own strength. We win because Jesus won for us. Our victory is passive. It happens to us, not because of us.

When a war is over, the smoke clears and the dust settles, both sides will have casualties. How we treat our own wounded and care for members of the opposing team will be a big indicator of our true faith. This week, we’ll look at how scripture calls us to rescue everyone, even those on […]

Jude continues his letter with several Old Testament accounts of turning against God. Turning against God has mortal consequences. In much of our daily lives, we wrestle with temptations of this fallen world and our fallen human flesh. How do we overcome these temptations? Every day is a battle! How do we win?

Where there is free speech, there is also false speech. Where there is large-scale good fortune or catastrophe, there are those who will exploit it for personal gain. Jude opens with a warning; he sounds the alarm, warning Christ followers to be on the lookout for false teachers. False teachers were widespread 2,000 years ago […]

This last conversation is the final word from God to the nation of Israel before 400 years of silence and the coming of Jesus. God is always calling His people to look forward to when He will make everything new. The coming Day of the Lord, when justice will be served, and righteousness will be […]

Have you ever wondered if serving and following God is truly worth it? There are times when it seems that the wicked prosper, while the righteous endure hardship and suffering. It can be easy to question if living faithfully really brings any lasting benefit. God understands these moments of doubt. He reminds us that while […]

Money is often a touchy subject, but God does not shy away from addressing it. In Malachi 3:6–12, He speaks directly about the importance of giving and how withholding from Him is seen as robbing from Him. This strong language reveals how seriously God views our stewardship over the blessings He provides. However, the heart […]

Have you ever found yourself questioning where God is when it comes to dealing with those who seem to do evil without consequence? It’s easy to look around and wonder why injustice goes unchecked and why wrongdoers seem to prosper. The people of Israel voiced similar frustrations, questioning God’s justice and asking, “Where is the […]

God takes marriage seriously because He is the Creator of it, establishing it as a divine covenant and a precious gift to humanity. From the very beginning, marriage was designed to reflect His love, unity, and faithfulness. It is not merely a partnership between a husband and wife—it is a living illustration of God’s relationship […]

As our series in Malachi continues, God turns his attention to the priests of the land to let them know He is displeased with their attitude. What is our attitude? Where does it come from? This week’s text contains some strange imagery. We’ll work through why this imagery is used and why our attitude towards […]
