What Makes Grace Not So Amazing?
We know the words to Amazing Grace, but are we still amazed by God's grace? In Acts 10, the salvation of Cornelius astonished the believers as they witnessed God pour out His Holy Spirit on the Gentiles. But sometimes, the longer we walk with Christ, the easier it becomes to take His grace for...
-
What is God doing when our plans fall apart?
What happens when life doesn't go according to plan? When something you believed God was building suddenly falls apart? Does that mean God's purpose for your life has changed? In Acts 8, persecution ravages the early church, believers are scattered, and everything seems to be falling apart. But...
-
Is the Gospel True? Is it Worth the Tension?
Stephen’s story forces us to wrestle with the realities of sharing our faith. How can we know the gospel is true? What are we actually asking people to do? And what happens when they don’t want to hear it? Acts 6–7 reminds us that because the gospel is true and sinners need Christ, we proclaim it...
-
Do We Really Need Organized Religion?
Do we really need organized religion? Why does the church need organization at all? Acts 6 shows us that as the church grows, important things—and important people—can be neglected. Healthy church structure protects what matters while empowering ordinary believers to participate in God’s mission....
-
God's Power in My Problems
If God is really at work, why are there still so many problems in the church and/or in my life? Acts 5 shows us a church facing corruption from within and persecution from without—yet God’s work continues. God’s power is not seen primarily in the prevention of problems, but in what He produces...
-
Inabilities as Opportunities
What if your limitations aren’t obstacles to God’s plan, but opportunities? In Acts 2, Jesus has given His followers an overwhelming mission: take the gospel to the ends of the earth. There’s just one problem—they don’t appear capable of doing it. They lack formal training, they face enormous...
-
Plan A - Intro to the Book of Acts
Have you ever felt like you're not who you want to be, you're not where you want to be, or you're not doing what you thought you'd be doing? It's easy to believe that someday, somewhere, something will finally make life feel significant. Acts 1 challenges us to see our lives differently. As Jesus...
-
Ananias, Gospel Sherpa
Conversion is critical, but we also need connection. Are you willing to help? In Acts 9, Saul's dramatic conversion on the Damascus Road is one of the most famous stories in Scripture. But behind Paul's transformation stands an often-overlooked disciple named Ananias. While Jesus saved Saul, God...

3 Things That Keep You From Being Ready for Christ's Return

Why I Should Trust and Treasure the Bible
Why should we trust the Bible and treat it differently than every other book? In this message from 2 Peter 1:16–21, we see that Scripture is not man’s opinion about God, but God’s inspired Word given to reveal Himself, guide our lives, and shine light in a dark world. If the Bible truly comes…

That sounded good, but was it right?
That sounded good, but was it right? More importantly, it sounds right, but is that what the Bible really says? What are your spiritual, emotional, and moral vulnerabilities that a false teacher could easily exploit? False teaching rarely appears obvious, dangerous, or easy to spot. In 2 Peter 2,...
-
What Do I Repeat that Others Will Remember?
What truths are being repeated and reinforced in your life and home? In this message from 2 Peter 1:12–15, we explore Peter’s final burden before his death: helping believers remember, reinforce, and remain rooted in God’s Word. Discover why repeated truth shapes spiritual stability, how...
-
I Believe So Why Don't I Change?
In this message from 2 Peter 1:1–11, we tackle a question many Christians quietly ask: If I believe in God, why don’t I seem to change? Peter reveals that God has already given believers everything necessary for life and godliness through His power and promises, but spiritual growth requires more...
-
Grounded and Growing - Intro to 2 Peter
Why do strong marriages fail, faithful families drift, and respected leaders collapse? In this opening message from 2 Peter, we explore Peter’s warning about losing spiritual stability and discover how grounding our lives in God’s truth protects us from instability, error, and spiritual collapse....

Return to What Matters Most
Maybe you don't need to do something else, but instead return to what matters most.
-
Quit Trying to Fix People
We often believe the problem is the other person—but Scripture points us somewhere else. In Colossians 3:18–4:1, we see that real change doesn’t come from controlling others, but from shifting our focus to Christ. When we live “as unto the Lord,” our marriages, families, and workplaces are...
-
Why Do I Feel Disconnected - Even at Church?
We've never been more connected, yet feel more divided. From social media chaos to tension in our homes, friendships, and even churches, something is broken. What was meant to bring us together often pushes us further apart. In this message from Colossians 3:12–17, we discover that the problem...
-
What's Missing From Easter?
The Easter story is inspiring but why do we leave Easter service unchanged? This message covers Colossians 3:5-11.
-
Why Can't I Hear God Speak?
Why can't I hear God speak? This might be one of the reasons. Your time in the Bible isn't a study method. It is a meeting with God. Message covers Colossians 3:1-4.
-
Above the Influence
What is the nature of trends and how do they become so influential? Here is a better question. Why are we often more influenced by trends than Biblical truth? Part of the problem is that people care more about being accepted than about being right. We don't want to be cancelled and so we conform....
-
Filled or Fooled?
You attend church. You read Bible verses. You listen to the sermon but it still feels empty. Have you been fooled? So you scramble for a podcast or an influencer who can explain to you how to make it real. But you don't need another podcast or influencer to explain it. The Bible explains the...
-
Why is My Christian Life Stagnant?
There are times in the Christian life when you are growing in faith. But then there are times that are stagnant. Why does this happen? Colossians 2:6-7 explains one reason this may happen. A subtle shift can move you back to that place of vibrant faith. Never graduate!
-
Are TikTok Videos and Reels Impacting Your Ability to Meditate on Scripture?
It is easy to get lost scrolling videos for an hour. But do you have the attention span to read 5 pages of a book, namely the Bible? Short-form videos may be damaging your ability to meditate on Scripture. The Bible calls us to think deeply about what we read and to pay attention to how to apply...
-
Even If Aliens Exist Christ Is Supreme
If the Earth is flat, if aliens are discovered, and Big Foot turns out to be real; none of it matters when these trends are placed against an unchangeable truth. Discover this truth in Colossians 1:15-23 and stabilize your faith amongst all of the social media trends.
-
Less Scrolling, More Praying
From the Epstein files to the Charlie Kirk assassination we are bombarded with information and influence. It is hard to know what to believe and who to believe. What is right? What is true? How do I make a change rather than just hide behind a like or a share? Colossians 1:9-14 offers a...
-
Truth Over Trends: Intro to the Book of Colossians
Is Christianity a conspiracy? Why is the Book of Enoch not included in the Bible? Is Jesus a mythological mashup? Social media bombards believers with content that complicates faith and creates doubt. How can you discern truth over trends?
-
Stewarding My Purpose
You may be disappointed or disillusioned because you heard a preacher say that God has a wonderful plan for your life, so you signed up, and it's been more difficult than wonderful. You're not alone. The failure with this approach is that many people want their lives to be more wonderful than...
-
How to Be Wise With My Time
The Bible's main concern with time isn't productivity, but wisdom. You can be very productive and yet waste you life if you do not factor eternity into time. Americans say that time is money. But the Bible says that time is wisdom. In this message we survey several passages and learn how the…

Feel Better, Do Better, Believe More With Money
Financially there is a lot of stress. No matter what you do there is more month than money. When it comes to faith, you believe what the Bible says - but let's not talk about money. If any of those statements describe you, 1 Corinthians 9 will help you change your attitude, find a better plan…

Stop Saying Your Loved Ones Are Angels
Many Christians get faulty views of the afterlife and the resurrection from songs and movies. What does the Bible actually say? Skeptics see no possibility of the resurrection yet the Bible says we observe such radical transformation in nature - so why deny the possibility. The resurrection isn't...
-
What If the Resurrection Isn't Real?
What if the resurrection isn't real? In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul entertains the thought of what happens to our faith if Christ is not risen. The implications are astounding. But Christ is risen! Do you live as if the resurrection is real?
-
The Observance of Order (and On Women Keeping Silent)
Many people think that the more emotional and unpredictable a worship service becomes the better it is. But the Bible calls us in 1 Corinthians 14 to do everything decently and in order. Order is not restrictive but protective. And what about that part of 1 Corinthians 14 that calls for women to...
-
What Moves Worship From Good to Great?
What moves worship from good to great? It isn't the music. It isn't a better message. In 1 Corinthians 13 the Bible reveals a critical element that changes everything.
-
Great Worship Isn't About A Feeling, But About What's Fitting
Many believe that the more emotional people become and the more unpredictable the service becomes the more spiritual a worship service is. But Paul uses two curious words to describe truly great, Spirit-filled worship in 1 Corinthians 14. The words are "decently" and "in order." Decently means...
-
How to Move From Passive to Participant in Worship
Modern worship takes place in an auditorium that is setup for performance. As a result, people have become passive rather than being a participant in worship. How do we make the shift from passive to participant? The answers are in 1 Corinthians 12.
-
To Experiencing a Truly Great Worship Service, Look Beyond the Platform
What makes a worship service truly great? As we continue to answer this question from 1 Corinthians 12-14, in this message we find out that if you want to move beyond the performance and into the presence of God, then you must look beyond the platform and notice the variety of spiritual gifts in...
-
Name-Dropping Jesus
What makes a worship service truly great? In 1 Corinthians 12-14 Paul offers some corrective measures for the Corinthians as they gather for worship. And you may be surprised that there is no mention of many of the things you might commonly think make worship great. In this message, we look at…

The Contentious Church
It seems like in the American church there is always a controversy and with the Bible there is always another interpretation. If no one can agree, what am I supposed to believe? Is any of it even real if none of it is right? 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 deals with a contentious issue in the Corinthian...
-
In Remembrance of Jesus
On the first Sunday of each month we gather together for prayer and communion. What is communion? What do the elements represent? Communion helps us to identify with and remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us, His church.
-
Losing the Influence of My Faith
If every Christian were just like me, what kind of Christian would other Christians be? If others read the Bible as much or little as me? If others prayed for the same things as me? What would be the state of Christianity based on the influence of my faith? In 1 Corinthians 11:1 Paul said to...
-
What Will It Take to Win My Family and Friends to Christ?
You are burdened for your family and friends to know Christ. And you've invited them to church before but it wasn't effective. Why not? Paul was effective in reaching the lost for Christ. 1 Corinthians 9 reveals his mentality and shows you how to win your friends and family to Christ.
-
Does the Bible Say Sex is Bad?
When it comes to sex many believe that the Bible's message is that sex is bad. If that's the case, Christian singles and couples find it difficult to navigate a sexually charged culture and to deal with sexual desire. But that's not the message. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul clarifies the Biblical...
-
If I Am to Love My Neighbor, Should I Be More Tolerant of Their Sexual Choices?
In this message we answer two questions from 1 Corinthians 5 and 6. If I am to love my neighbor, shouldn't I be more tolerant of their sexual choices? Are churches that are more sexually tolerant more culturally relevant?
-
If It's Just Sex, Why Condemn a Person's Choice?
The cultural mantra is that it's just sex and because it's my body then it should be my choice. But the Bible has a higher view of your body and teaches that there are greater consequences to our choices. In this message Brian will teach from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 and show you how God wants to...
-
Why You Should Pay More Attention to Your Pastor's Sermon, Even If He Doesn't Have a Cool Podcast (Part 2)
While Christian podcasts and Bible apps are useful tools, you should put a priority on personal time in the Word of God, prayer, and digesting the sermon at your home church. Your pastor may not have a cool podcast, but his preaching is important. This is a continuation of the message, Why You...
-
Why You Should Pay More Attention to Your Pastor's Sermon, Even if He Doesn't Have a Cool Podcast (Part 1)

How to Pick Podcasts and Preachers (Part 2)
With so much Christian content, so many preachers and churches, how can we make sure we clearly hear the voice of God? Who's right? What's wrong? This message from 1 Corinthians 3 helps draw some conclusions from last week's message from 1 Corinthians 1 and 2.
