The Shoes of Christianity Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Jesus should make a difference in our everyday lives. This seems like an obvious statement, but what does it really mean, practically speaking? In this week's message from James 1, Pastor Bryan invites us to consider three issues that inform our faith on a practical level. When we do the work of applying God's Word to the minute details of our lives, we will not merely be "hearers" of it, but "doers."

Shaky Foundations and Deadly Off-ramps Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever stopped to consider the foundation that your life is built on? As Pastor J.D. continues our series in James this week, he shows us how trials can work to reveal these foundations, for better or worse. Unfortunately, trials can also present us with the temptation to sin, rather than wait on God. In the face of such temptation, we can embrace the truth that every good gift comes from God—or we can turn to other things for comfort and peace. What will you choose?

Here Comes Trouble Jul 09, 2023

Show notes

Not many of us are likely to say that we enjoy tests and trials—and yet, life is full of them. This week, Pastor J.D. begins a series through the book of James, a book filled with practical wisdom and valuable insight. When faced with trials, will you respond in faith? Or will you respond with anger, disappointment, or even despair? When we trust in God's character even in the midst of hardship, we can be sure that he is working to produce lasting fruit in us.

Be Loved. Be Love. Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

Where does love come from? The culture around us would undoubtedly have a very different answer than what we read in 1 John 4. In this week's message, Pastor John Muller helps us consider the implications of God's love for us. As those who have been loved in such a profound way, we should be eager to share this transforming love with the world.

Two Wayward Sons, One Great Dad, and Lots of Nail Polish Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

When it comes to parenting, we can learn a lot from the way God relates to his own children. In this message from Luke 15, Pastor Bryan encourages us with the remarkable truth that God views us not as hired servants, but as sons and daughters. In the way that he relentlessly pursues a relationship with us, God demonstrates compassion and grace beyond measure. What benefits might we reap from the commitment to pursue a similar relationship with our children?

Father's Day Panel Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

In celebration of Father's Day, Pastors J.D. and Bryan host their own fathers for a panel discussion. As men who have experienced the ups and downs of fatherhood, Lynn Greear and Crawford Loritts offer practical, biblical wisdom to encourage men—whether they are fathers or not.

Parenting R.I.T.E. Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

Our homes matter, even more than we may realize. In this message from Deuteronomy 6, Pastor Bryan walks us through some of Moses' final instructions for the Israelites. These words, intended to prepare the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, still carry important implications for us today as we consider how to engage in gospel-based parenting in our current culture. If we want to have a greater chance of preparing our children to become adults who make a difference for God in their moment in history, we ought to be diligent to equip them to love and fear God.
