What if your biggest ambition this year wasn't growing your business or building your brand, but loving God with everything you have? Instead of centering yourself in your goals, discover what happens when, as Luke 10:27 commands, you center Jesus in your heart, soul, mind and strength. Centering Jesus in our affections means cultivating deep love for God that overflows into everything else. The transformation might surprise you.
Pastor Daniel and Lisa Grothe unpacked Ephesians 5 in a fresh way - reminding us that "headship" isn't hierarchy. It's Jesus-style leadership. The kind that serves first, sacrifices first and lifts others first.
In a world consumed with power, Jesus calls us to something different: humility, honor and mutual lifting. Our marriage, friendships, family and community flourishes when we choose the way of Jesus.
Are you fighting the wrong enemy? Today's message reveals the truth about spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6, showing how we often fight the wrong battles against people instead of the demonic forces working to destroy our faith and relationships. Pastor Daniel urges us to put on the full armor of God each morning - the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of Gospel peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. And finally, discover why prayer is necessary in our spiritual lives and to our ultimate spiritual victory.
In today's message, discover what it means to live as "children of light" as we continue our study in Ephesians. Pastor Andrew reveals three key traits of those who are filled with the light of God as reflected in Ephesians 5:8 - goodness, righteousness, and truth. Learn practical steps for living with integrity, showing genuine concern for others, and aligning your life with God's truth. And rest in the truth that we do not become children of the light by trying harder to do what's right. We become children of light by falling deeper in love with the God who already delights in us.
