Church: Who Needs It?
When we invest in and love other people in God’s family, we are showing the world what the Church is supposed to look like. Everyone needs a place to belong, and they need to see that they can belong in God’s family.
May 15, 2026 ListenMarried vs. Marriage
Today’s society amplifies the idea that we should all be happy, and if our marriage relationship is not making us happy then we have the right to leave it. The Bible teaches that marriage is a covenant, not a contract, and is not based on happiness but rather on commitment to see it through to death. The only way this works well is when both the men and the women are committed to God so that the men, being led by God, can lead the women who willingly submit to his leadership.
May 14, 2026 ListenAlmost Stoned
We often find ourselves feeling guilty and condemning ourselves because of our sin, but Jesus’ death on the cross made a way for us to live without guilt and shame. Receiving His gift of eternal life does not mean that we will never sin again, but instead it means that we are forgiven and we can look up with hope instead of down in shame.
May 13, 2026 ListenIn the Way
Jesus is described in the Bible as the Way, the only Way to God the Father. Instead of being in the way as a hindrance to ourselves and others for finding real relationship with God, we need to put our excuses aside and live in the Way, in Christ, so that we can lead others to Him as well.
May 12, 2026 ListenGo Take A Flying Leap
We can all look back on our lives and see that God has provided all we have needed time and time again, yet we still find it difficult to trust Him. Rather than sitting around being comfortable our whole lives, we need to hear whatever God is calling us to do and step out and do it. Just as a loving father will catch their child every time when that child jumps from a high branch, we can trust that God will catch us every time we take a leap of faith.
May 11, 2026 ListenBorn of a Woman
Adam and Eve screwed everything up in the Garden of Eden when they decided to sin and eat of the tree God had commanded them not to eat from. Sin continued in the world, yet in the midst of all of the mess we’ve made God had a plan all along that His own Son would be born into this world, take on human form and be the perfect sacrifice to pay for all of our sins so that we may be restored to a perfect relationship with God Himself.
May 10, 2026 ListenIsn’t She Amazing
The Bible talks about the value of a virtuous woman, and for a man to find one he must pursue virtue himself through Christ. When a woman is found to be virtuous and honoring God in the way she cares for her family, she should be publicly recognized by each of her family members.
May 8, 2026 ListenCribs
We see on TV the mansions and houses of rich people but the truth is that the most expensive “Crib” on the planet is us as believers.God gave His Son so that He can take residence in us even though our lives are messy. That is exactly how God wants us to come to Him so that He can do the work to make us clean.
May 7, 2026 ListenI Doubt It
The devil started his entire interaction with human beings by planting seeds of doubt for what God really said. Throughout Biblical history people have had to come to a place where they choose to keep doubting or trust and believe. We must do the same, allowing ourselves to bring our questions to God and then coming to a place of deciding what we will put our faith into.
May 6, 2026 ListenBlack Blood
We live in a fallen world where racism, sexism, prejudice and other sins are commonplace, yet God calls us to take of the lens of the world and see each person equally. We may have different responsibilities, but every one of us was created in God’s image and has value given to us by Him.
