A Divided Heart Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

Pastor Marty Sloan, Lead Pastor of Calvary Church in Naperville, IL, explains a divided heart is a heart torn between two different loves: a love of God and a love of the world. God will not be second in your life. Luckily, our God is faithful even when we’re unfaithful, and redeeming us even though we don’t deserve it.

The Fear of the Lord Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

Over and over in the Bible, we're given the command not to fear. But the beginning of all wisdom is to fear the Lord. How do we hold these two things in tension? The fear of the Lord is a fear that puts God at the center. We have a healthy fear of the mountains and the ocean yet often we don’t fear the God who made them. If we want to live well in a God-made world it requires the fear of the Lord through trusting Him, knowing Him, and obeying Him.

The Power of Words Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

We often don’t get the weight to which our words matter. There are times when we should refrain from speaking and times when we should have difficult conversations. But how do you know when & how to speak? Luckily, Proverbs gives us a roadmap for navigating these nuanced situations with wisdom.

The Pathway to Maturity Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

In week three of our Series on Proverbs, Pastor Whit shared insights from Proverbs 1 on what the pathway to maturity looks like. Proverbs tells us that wisdom is available for anyone who wants it, we just have to pursue it, but it may not always look like what we think it will.

In this message, we dissect the tension between submission and agency. As we make space to listen to God and have the courage to step out of our comfort zone, God will lead us into wisdom and the plans He has for our lives.

Wisdom that Works Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

We desperately need wisdom, but there are external and internal obstacles. Our culture values speed and busyness, but wisdom requires patience and perspective. Pride and shame also keep us from the wisdom that’s available. Luckily, Everything that you need for life and godliness is in Jesus. Proverbs is the voice of Jesus in your life. Will you let Him speak?

Wisdom: Living Life God’s Way Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

Join us for week one of our series on Proverbs: Wisdom for Every Day Life. To know God is to know His ways. Man’s ways are informed by personal understanding and experience. But God’s way is submission to His Word and His Voice. His ways are where we find true and life-giving wisdom.

Faithfully Following God May 29, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, life doesn’t go as expected. Joseph certainly didn't expect for his life to turn out the way it did. But God never leads you to a dead end. Throughout Scripture, we see that He provides a way for His people over and over again. God never promised a life without trouble, but He can give your pain purpose and work all things for the good of those who love Him.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation May 22, 2023

Show notes

Forgiveness and reconciliation are two concepts not only central to the story of Joseph but central to the Christian faith. Forgiveness is about coming to the Lord with the fullness of your feelings and trusting Him with them. It's inner work between you and God. Sometimes, this inner work leads to repentance and reconciliation with others. What God desires above all, is reconciliation with you.

By This You Shall Be Tested May 15, 2023

Show notes

In Genesis 42-44, Joseph tests his brothers. He gives them a chance to enter back into a relationship with him on the basis of trust. We all have to face different tests and trials that form something in us. God never tempts you, but he does allow you to walk through difficult seasons. Tests reveal who you truly are and allow you to change. When you pass a test, you're released into a new level of intimacy with God and effectiveness for His Kingdom.

The Law of the Hand: Living with Diligence May 08, 2023

Show notes

God never speaks and gives a word without giving confirmation. Joseph received confirmation from God time and time again and rose to the challenge of staying diligent no matter how challenging his circumstances got. Spiritual laws give us a pathway to both vindication and success. There are going to be times when you do the right thing but don't get your just reward. Take heart: your breakthrough almost never comes when you want it to, but it always comes when it's supposed to.
