In this message, Ben Cachiaras, Lead Pastor of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, reminds us that one of the most powerful ways we can love others is simply by listening.Through the story of Jesus stopping for the blind beggar in Luke 18, we see that while everyone else ignored him, Jesus heard him, gave him His attention, and showed him dignity and compassion. The message challenges us to recognize that people today are desperate not just to be talked to, but to be truly seen, heard, and understood. In a noisy and distracted world, listening has become a rare act of love that reflects the heart of Christ. We are called to slow down, ask meaningful questions, and love others by giving them our full attention.

In this message, Mike Breaux challenges the popular “you do you” mindset, revealing how following our feelings and defining our own truth can quietly lead us away from God’s purpose. Drawing from Scripture, he explains that our hearts can be deceptive and that our strongest desires are often not our deepest ones, what we truly long for is a relationship with God. He contrasts living by the flesh, which seeks self-gratification, with walking by the Spirit, which leads to love, freedom, and a life anchored in truth.Using the example of Jesus resisting temptation, he shows that staying grounded in God’s truth and maintaining an intimate relationship with Him is what keeps us from drifting. Ultimately, the message calls us to reject cultural lies, pursue deeper spiritual hunger, and build our lives on the truth of who Christ has called us to be.
