How do we identify false prophets? Jesus clearly warned us to watch out for false prophets, who He described as wolves in sheep’s clothing. We are called to build our lives on Christ and His truth, and the reality is that we can’t define truth based on how something makes us feel. But how do we choose between those people and things that are good influences on our lives spiritually and emotionally and those that are bad influences and can potentially draw us away from Christ? Join us as we look to God’s word to find the answers!

What does it mean to fear God, to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? It’s not what it sounds like. To fear the Lord is to live in absolute awe of His power, His presence, and His promises. Imagine how excited and awestruck you will be one day—to look upon His face and finally see Him! That is the posture from which we want to look to Him and worship Him today. Our God is not wrathful or scary. We don’t tremble because we are afraid. We tremble because of the wonder and astonishment we have for His greatness. Our God is an awesome God!

Culture would have us believe that wide is the road that leads to heaven—that there are many paths to God—and narrow is the road that leads to hell. But as difficult as it might be to hear, Jesus teaches us that the opposite is true. He encourages us to follow His way, even though it isn’t popular or anywhere near easy when we try to do it in our own strength. The good news is that when we know the truth, we can choose the kind of life where we’re empowered by His Spirit and able to rest knowing that we never have to experience separation from Him. Because of His goodness, we can live brighter and fuller lives on this side of heaven and bask in the beauty of relationship with Him forever. Join us as we tune out the noise of the world and make space to hear God’s heart for us.

Do you want to be more attractive? Most of us don't hesitate to say, "YES!" But even the people we perceive as beautiful can quickly become unattractive through their actions. So, how do we reflect the beauty of Jesus and do what it takes to be spiritually attractive?

As believers, our job isn’t to judge and condemn the world; we are called to love and tell others about the One who came, died, and rose again to rescue us from sin and death. That’s Good News worth knowing! So, how do we speak the truth in love without overdoing it? Give this message a watch to find out!

When it comes to judging, it’s in our nature… It’s easy to point out the flaws in others while overlooking the areas we need to address, but when we do, we give the kind of judgment that we’d never want for ourselves. Jesus left us with clear instruction: don’t be blind to your own sins. Take care of your own wrongdoing first, and only then can you see clearly to help those around you—lovingly calling one another out of sin and into Christ-likeness.

In His goodness, He invites us to mirror that kind of boundless love and compassion toward others in the same way.

Jesus left us with a command: “…do not worry about your life.” The reality is that we’ve all gotten caught in the quicksand of “what-ifs” and doubt when it comes to finances. But our Savior tells us that when we learn to think about money His way and place our trust in Him, we can close the door on worry! So, in a world full of uncertainty and trouble, how can we genuinely believe and rest in Jesus’ promise to care for us and meet every single one of our needs? Tune in for another life-changing message in our Trust Fund series to learn more.

When Jesus talked about money, He introduced a wildly controversial idea of having an eternal view of wealth and that money has the potential to have lasting, heavenly impact. That’s still strange for many of us today because the world’s view is to build and accumulate money and things that show our success—things that seemingly bring us comfort, security and even power. But God warns us that money and possessions can deceive us into living for the temporal and cause us to lose sight of what it means to live for the eternal. How we use money affects the very core of who we are becoming! Tune into the full message to hear more on God’s heart for us when it comes to money.

Everything that we have is a gift. From the breath in our lungs to the food on our tables and clothes on our backs, we get to experience the generosity of our loving God each day. As His children, God wants to teach us not only how to fully receive His good gifts but also to be an extension of His generosity through the way we live. When we see and prioritize the needs of others, we begin to see the fullness of the life we were created for! Tune in to learn how to live generously like Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
