In this series, we'll look at what it means to be fully present in a distracted world. Present with God, present with one other, and finally present with the world and its needs. We'll talk about disciplines and habits that can get us there, have the option of receiving daily devotional reminders, and encourage one another on the journey. This message, we'll look at the problem of finding time to…
We discover that self-control may not mean what we think it means. We often associate self-control with willpower: trying harder, resisting temptation, and getting ourselves under control. But Scripture takes us deeper. Beneath every struggle with our desires, appetites, anger, comfort, and temptation is a greater battle—the battle for mastery. What has the greatest influence over your heart? What…
God has always been faithful to keep His promises. Throughout Scripture, He enters into covenant with His people and remains steadfast even when they are not. Jonathan reflects that same kind of faithfulness in his covenant with David, choosing loyalty to God's purposes over his own future, his family, and even his claim to the throne. His story reminds us that true faithfulness isn't measured…
Patience isn't simply waiting—it's allowing God to shape us through the waiting. This week's message explores the biblical meaning of patience as being "long-tempered," encouraging us to trust God's timing rather than rushing ahead of His plans. We'll discover how waiting well means crying out to the Lord, remembering His faithfulness, responding with praise, and recognizing that God's patience…
This week we're exploring the difference between being nice and being good through the lens of Micah 6:8. God calls us to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly. Goodness isn't a performance to earn God's approval — it's the natural evidence of a life being shaped by the Holy Spirit. Discover what it really looks like to move from nice to good!
This Sunday, we'll understand what kindness means from a biblical perspective. In our culture, it seems that kindness and politeness are the same idea, but as we study this fruit (our Spiritual qualities), we see a different meaning. Kindness, as we see in Galatians chapter 5, is really a spiritual quality encouraged by the Holy Spirit that relates to others with goodness, generosity, and…
The word "love" gets used to describe everything from our favorite food to our deepest relationships, but in 1 Corinthians 13, the Apostle Paul strips away every shallow definition and reveals what love truly is in the Kingdom of God. This message dives into the richness of the biblical understanding of love — patient, selfless, enduring, and rooted not in feeling but in intentional choice —…
We live in a world that rewards volume and power. What does the counter-cultural value of gentleness look like, and how can we better express it in our lives and our speech?
Our happiness varies according to circumstance, but deep joy remains even when life is hard. This Sunday, we'll talk about the Joy Takers and Joy Makers in our lives.
Spiritual growth isn't about trying harder or doing more — it's about tending your inner life so that who you are on the inside starts to show up on the outside as a real, visible reflection of God. The fruit Paul talks about isn't something you manufacture; it's something that grows when you stay close to Jesus. It's really about laying that foundation and inviting people into that kind of…
