Are you busy serving Jesus but forgetting to sit with Him? In this message, guest speaker Shaq Hardy challenges us to examine our own lives.

How to Live Each Day as a New Day Before God Every new year brings renewed talk of resolutions, fresh starts, and personal change. Yet Scripture reminds us that time itself has no power to renew the human heart. True newness does not come from a calendar turning, but from the sovereign work of God.

What does it really mean to “submit to the government”? In Romans 13:1–7, Paul challenges believers to obey their governing authorities—because doing so ultimately honors God.
