Family Relationships

October 1, 2025 • 28 mins
Family is God’s idea, and He’s given us a playbook in His Word to help us thrive—even when relationships get messy. From Genesis to today, we see that while families can be broken, God is in the business of restoring, healing, and leading us to love one another like Jesus.

A Gritty Gratitude

September 24, 2025 • 28 mins
There is power in gratitude, even in the hardest moments. Giving thanks in all circumstances doesn't mean pretending everything is good, but it does mean trusting in the goodness of God through it all. From Job to Jesus, Scripture shows us that gratitude shifts our perspective, strengthens our spirit, and draws us closer to the heart of God.

Overcoming Persecution

September 17, 2025 • 28 mins
We’re diving into a powerful truth today: Jesus was perfect—and still persecuted. The Bible reminds us that anyone who seeks to live a godly life will face opposition, especially as we draw closer to Christ’s return. But through every trial, from Joseph to Paul, we see that God’s presence, promises, and purpose remain unshakable—so we can stand firm, speak truth in love, and trust Him with the results.

God and Sports

September 10, 2025 • 28 mins
Sports are more than just games—they’re a powerful lens through which we can see God at work in our lives. From discipline and teamwork to influence and identity, the Bible offers a clear and compelling perspective: run the race with Jesus at the center, and let Him—not performance or praise—define your worth.

How to Enjoy Church

September 3, 2025 • 28 mins
Choosing a healthy local church is one of the most important faith decisions you can make. While no church is perfect, look for one that honors God’s Word, fosters authentic relationships, and encourages spiritual growth and service. Don’t just attend—participate, serve, love others, and be the church. Revival in our communities can begin with us when we do church God’s way.

Say Yes To Jesus

August 27, 2025 • 28 mins
The first four chapters of John show the power of saying yes to Jesus—from Andrew leading his brother to Christ, to the woman at the well boldly sharing her story. Saying yes to Jesus means following Him, helping others know Him, and trusting His direction in every part of life. Where is Jesus asking you to say yes today?

The Truth About Death

August 20, 2025 • 28 mins
Death is real, but through Jesus, it's not the end—He offers eternal life and hope beyond the grave. The Bible says death is like sleep, and for believers, it leads to God’s presence. We’re called to grieve with others, live with purpose, and share the good news of eternal life.

True Friendships

August 13, 2025 • 28 mins
The deepest friendships are rooted in God's presence and marked by loyalty, joy, and shared sorrow. True friends celebrate your wins and walk with you through pain, like Ruth with Naomi or Jonathan with David. Jesus modeled deep, intentional friendship—He wept with others and prayed before choosing His closest companions. If you want meaningful friendships, be the kind of friend who shows up in both celebration and sorrow.

The One Vision

August 6, 2025 • 28 mins
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave, showing His deep love through both His sacrifice and His relationships. From the woman at the well to Nicodemus, from Zacchaeus to the Ethiopian man, Jesus reached people one by one—and now He calls us to do the same. The One Vision is a simple but powerful truth: everyone can reach one person, and through that, God transforms lives, cities, and natio...

Deep Conviction

July 30, 2025 • 28 mins
Conviction comes from God through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and prayer—He speaks, guides, and provides. Throughout the Bible, figures like Paul, Moses, Jonah, Joshua, Nehemiah, and the apostles lived with deep conviction, often sacrificing comfort and safety to follow God's call. True conviction goes beyond tasks; it's about knowing what’s worth suffering for. Our ultimate purpose is to remain faithful to Jesus.

God and Israel

July 23, 2025 • 28 mins
God calls us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and trust His clear plan for Israel, beginning with His promises to Abraham. Throughout history—from Egypt to the Promised Land, from Esther to modern-day Israel—God has faithfully protected and provided for His people. Though true peace won’t come to the Middle East until Jesus, the Prince of Peace, returns, prophecy assures us that God is in control. We can face the future with conf...

Fatherhood

July 16, 2025 • 28 mins
Fatherhood is a high calling of protection, provision, and deep commitment to God and family. Though it’s not easy, we rely on our Heavenly Father for strength, wisdom, and healing—especially for those who’ve experienced hurt. Through Jesus, God adopts us into His family and calls dads to lead with truth, love, and purpose. Be present, stay grounded in faith, and build godly habits that shape the next generation.

The Fullness of God

July 9, 2025 • 28 mins
God calls us to be full—not empty. He wants to fill us with both His Spirit and His Word so we can overflow with love, hope, and peace. In Acts 4–6, we see believers who were bold, Spirit-filled, and deeply rooted in Scripture. They spread the gospel with courage, even in the face of persecution and suffering, counting it a joy to suffer for Jesus. They didn’t conform to the culture or stay silent—they lived empowered lives because...

Breaking Addictions

July 2, 2025 • 28 mins
In studying Psalm 40, we see how God lifts us from the mire of sin—addictions and struggles that try to control us. We must choose to serve either sin or Jesus. True change comes from a heart transformed by encountering Christ. His love heals our pain, and His truth brings clarity. Through prayer, worship, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit, God empowers us and calls us to build habits that keep us walking in the light.

Do Not Bury It

June 25, 2025 • 28 mins
We're studying the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30), which teaches that God generously gives us time, talents, resources, and opportunities to serve Him. We're called to full, not partial, faithfulness. While often only a few in the church are active, God wants the whole body of Christ engaged. Even though we are saved by Jesus' sacrifice, our faithfulness still matters and is rewarded. Responsibilities are equal, even if ...

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

June 18, 2025 • 28 mins
Stay spiritually alert and discerning—false teachers may appear godly but bring deception, sin, and destruction. Recognize them by their actions and stand firmly for God’s truth. Don’t ignore red flags; listen to the Holy Spirit, seek facts, and have the courage to confront evil. Like Jesus, David, and Moses, have a zeal for God’s honor. Confront darkness with humility, walking as a light in the world.

Supernatural Power

June 11, 2025 • 28 mins
When we seek God's presence first, we receive His peace, power, and purpose. Throughout Scripture, God demonstrates His supernatural power—parting the Red Sea, bringing down Jericho’s walls, feeding thousands—often in response to simple acts of obedience. God typically asks us to take small, faithful steps, and then He does what only He can do. The challenge is clear: Don’t settle for empty religion. We need God’s living power in o...

The Difficult Step

June 4, 2025 • 28 mins
Stepping out in faith often means entering into what is new, unknown, uncomfortable, and risky. It rarely feels safe or certain. Yet, God honors bold trust, and that first step—however uncertain—can lead to massive breakthrough. Sometimes God gives clear direction; other times He calls us to move forward even when clarity is lacking. In both, we are called to trust Him and say “yes.” He sees the full picture even when we don’t.

Religion Gone Bad

May 28, 2025 • 28 mins
Religion criticizes, condemns, and resists change, while Jesus brings truth, grace, and life. From the woman caught in adultery to David’s worship and the Samaritan woman, we see that religion clings to the past and appearances, but Jesus seeks hearts. True faith moves forward in relationship with Him, not in empty rituals or legalism.
