We hope this encourages and challenges you! Thanks for listening ..read more

This week we look at select verses from Proverbs 27 to talk about guarding our relationships. We all choose the people we let influence us. Let's choose those people wisely! We need to find the right people, whom we can be real with, and whom we can trust to build us up. The proverbs give us the wisdom to do this. And the kind of people we need influencing us should ultimately lead us to Jesus. We hope this challenges and encourages you. Thanks for listening ..read more

This week, we study Proverbs 16:1-9 to learn that if we commit ourselves to God, he will confirm our plans. We get to choose how to live, but God is sovereign and ultimately directs our steps. So when we align our lives with God and his ways, we will become the kind of people who make wise and good choices. We hope this encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening ..read more

This week we look at Proverbs 18 (among others) to learn how to guard our words. Words are so impactful in our lives, whether they're our own words, or words from someone else.

We're continuing our series, Guardrails, starting in Proverbs 1:10-19 to talk about guarding our finances. We will also look at quite a few other proverbs, including: Proverbs 10:15-16; 11:1, 24-27; 3:15-26; 22:1, 7, 9; 12:15. These help direct us on the path of wisdom and protect us from the dangers of greed and folly. Wisdom is more valuable than money, and Jesus is God's Wisdom, incarnate.

Today we'll be in Proverbs 1:1-9, starting a new message series called "Guardrails." God gives us wisdom for life, and it's a pathway we walk over time, not a door we can step through to get instant results. Wisdom is a product of knowing God's pattern for life, knowing ourselves, and most importantly, knowing God. Wisdom is a Person, not a principle! We hope this message encourages and challenges you.

This week we finish our DTR series by studying Ephesians 6:1-4 to learn that parents reflect God to their children. The parent-child relationship is so fundamental to human experience, and it's meant to push us toward our perfect Heavenly Father, and his perfect Son. We may not be perfect parents or children, but God is for us, as Father and Son, in the gospel. We hope this encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening ..read more

This week we're studying Proverbs 5 as we discuss sex and singleness. God gave sex for marriage. So we can learn from King Solomon that sex is risky outside of marriage, it's good inside of marriage, and at all times God is present with us. We get obsessed with physical attraction and beauty because we're trying to cover up our ugly sin. But Jesus made himself ugly in order to give us his eternal beauty. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening ..read more

We're in both Ephesians 5:22-33 & Romans 1:16-2:4 today as we look at what marriage is and is not according to the Bible. We're continuing the "DTR: Relationships According to the Bible" series to help us understand marriage as a symbol that reflects the gospel. Anything outside of God's design for marriage communicates a false gospel. But we can also see that homosexuality doesn't send anyone to hell. A heart of rebellions sends everyone to hell until Jesus steps in to save us. Therefore, our message isn't, "Be straight." Our message is, "Put your faith in Jesus." We hope this challenges ..read more
