Yes & Yes 39:01

Play Pause

17h ago39:01

39:01

Is God sovereign? Yes! Do we have the freedom to make choices in our lives? Yes! The tension between God’s sovereignty and our free will is one we see throughout scripture. It’s a tension that plays itself out in our lives every single day. What do we do with the tension? How should we react? It ultimately tells us about the power and goodness of G…

2 Sides, Same Coin 39:00

9h ago39:00

39:00

There are tensions in scripture. Things that don’t contradict each other, but live in tension to fully reveal who God truly is. Grace and truth are both necessary to a loving God.

Do You Really Need God? 40:46

1M ago40:46

Satan will try to trick us by convincing us that everything we want is available outside of a relationship with God.

This Is Too Much 41:10

1M ago41:10

41:10

The Enemy wants to overwhelm you. He wants you to be so overwhelmed by the problems in your life that you go everywhere except God to solve them. He attacks at just the right time so that it feels unbearable and impossible for you. It’s just a trick. The truth? It’s not too much, not if we’ll seek refuge in God.…

You Need It Now 31:01

1M ago31:01

31:01

“I want what I want and I want it now!” So many of us live our lives with that mentality. So we sacrifice what’s best for what we can get right away. We sacrifice what God has for us for what seems easier to get. What if, though, that’s all a trick of Satan. What if you really don’t need it now? What you really need is to wait on your loving God to…

See What You're Missing 37:07

2M ago37:07

37:07

Satan is a real enemy. He has his tricks. His tricks are sneaky and try to get us to exchange God’s best for much less. One of those tricks? He’ll tell us we’re missing something we should be enjoying. Even more so, he’ll try to tell us God is holding good things back from us. Let’s expose this trick of the Enemy so we won’t fall for it.…

Wouldn't Know Me From Adam 29:32

3M ago29:32

29:32

Scripture makes a clear parallel between Adam in the Garden and Jesus on the cross. What Adam in the garden did by introducing sin into the world, Jesus reversed by hanging on the cross and raising from the dead. It’s a beautiful picture that’s worth celebrating!

Call From The Cave 27:59

3M ago27:59

27:59

At some point or another, we all find ourselves in life’s caves… those places that are dark, scary, confusing, and tough. The good news is we don’t have to wait until we’re out of the cave to move forward. God can work in us right where we are. How do we do that?

29:08

Light shines brightest in the dark. It’s in the dark or cloudy times of our lives when God is often most felt. The fact is, he’s the same God in every situation and season of our lives. We can trust him, rain or shine.

Secure Your Mask 35:35

4M ago35:35

35:35

The Great Commandment calls us to love God and love others, but Jesus adds a crucial modifier: “as you love yourself,” revealing that we can’t truly love others until we first see and love ourselves as God does. This message emphasizes a divine order—loving God first, which then shapes our identity and enables genuine love for others. When we secur…

Loud But Loveless 40:32

5M ago40:32

40:32

You can say all the right things, do amazing stuff, and even show off your faith—but if love isn’t behind it, it’s just noise. Let's dive into what 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 teaches us about the power of real love, and why it’s the one thing that gives everything else meaning.

Waiting 41:13

5M ago41:13

41:13

Have you found yourself facing something and said, “God I really don’t understand what’s going on here. You could do something about this, but you’re not and I don’t understand.” If that’s the way you feel about a situation you’re in right now, then Habakkuk 2 will speak to you. So, let's talk about what you do in the in between time.…

Can't Get Enough 33:04

5M ago33:04

33:04

When is enough, enough? The illusion of enough is one that so many of us chase after. When I get enough time, enough money, enough confidence, then I’ll be good. What if the truth is, you will never have enough to feel like you’ve arrived. Jesus is our only source of enough.

Blinded By Perfection 36:05

5M ago36:05

36:05

Perfection seems like an amazing thing. It even feels like the thing we should strive for as believers in Jesus. What happens though, when life doesn’t feel perfect? What happens when we realize we can’t be perfect? The truth is, neither of those will ever come to reality. What can we learn? How do we avoid being blinded by perfection?…

Out of Control 35:46

6M ago35:46

35:46

We’re all tempted at some point or another. We’re tempted to try to control a situation or the people around us. While it can be tempting, it’s never beneficial. What are the risks when we try to control our lives? What can we do instead? We have to know, it’s out of our control.

Out of My Hands 36:03

6M ago36:03

The Ramifications of the Test 30:01

6M ago30:01

30:01

None of us like tests. We didn’t like them in school, and the tests we face as adults in life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and even cruel. What if, though, the tests of our faith weren’t God being cruel at all, but actually God showing his goodness and giving us something we can’t get any other way? Because that’s exactly what they are.…

Is This It? 27:52

7M ago27:52

27:52

Have you ever felt like maybe God broke a promise to you? You made it on the other side of something and thought, “This is it?!” Maybe you had in your mind what he was going to do for you but he didn’t seem to do it.

It Happened For A Reason 35:50

8M ago35:50

35:50

When life feels wrecked, if we’re honest, we have a lot of questions for God. We wonder why it happened and what he’s doing as we’re going through it. What if I told you that questions are good, but the right questions are better? What if we could ask the right questions and see that it all happens for a reason?…

Pieces of Peace 31:37

8M ago31:37

31:37

Peace that surpasses understanding. That’s what the peace of God is. The question is, what does it feel like? How do we get it? How do we keep it? The truth is, sometimes life has to fall to pieces for us to truly understand peace. Once we get it, though, it makes all the difference.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. The truth? Storms in life happen. They are inevitable.

Why Do You Doubt? 36:49

9M ago36:49

36:49

We all have questions and we all have doubts. We’ve been taught to never question God or God’s ways…but we do question God and His ways. We’re going to be talking about doubt. You see doubt doesn’t have to be the end of real faith…it can be the beginning.

Who Do You Say I Am? 40:06

10M ago40:06

I Don't Know How, But I Know Who 34:36

10M ago34:36

It's Not About Me Anyway 35:49

10M ago35:49

35:49

God can do a lot with our surrender. We have a tendency to hold back, to want to be in control, and to save what’s best for ourselves. Living a life of following Jesus, though, means we surrender and trust him to give us what’s truly best.

I'm Not Who I Was, But God Can Use Who I've Been 38:20

11M ago38:20

38:20

I’m not who I was. For everyone of us, that's true. Whether your past is riddled with regret and mistakes or your past is one you’re proud of, we all have a past. How can God use that past?

Grace Driven Effort 53:35

11M ago53:35

When All You Have Is Trust 39:57

11M ago39:57

39:57

It’s easy to trust God when everything is going your way. Trust becomes more difficult when all you have is trust. What we have to remember is that our trust doesn’t grow in the good times. We learn to trust God in the trials.

Royal Rags 25:57

11M ago25:57

25:57

A Savior as a baby. Born and placed in a feeding trough and wrapped in rags. God often works in ways that we would never anticipate. His ways are far better than ours and often catch us by surprise. How do we trust him even when what he's doing doesn't line up with what we think it should be?

The Wise Men 40:38

11M ago40:38

40:38

The wise men made their way to Jesus to worship him. Will you take your cue from the wise men? Will your story be a story of worship or will you spend your life trying to build your kingdom? Will your story be about God’s way or your will?
