We live in a world that’s quick to speak and slow to forgive. One post, one comment, one misunderstanding—and suddenly, walls go up and peace goes missing. In this week’s Bible study, I talk about the silent poison of offense and how it becomes the enemy’s trap to divide what God desires to unite.We’ll walk through Proverbs 19:11 and learn how forgiveness isn’t approval—it’s release. Because peace doesn’t begin when everything’s fixed; it begins when you finally let go.You can’t hold on to offense and hold on to peace at the same time.
We say we trust God—but if we’re honest, we still like to be in control. We plan, we fix, we manage, and we hold on tight, thinking it’s helping us. But real peace doesn’t come from control—it comes from surrender.In this week’s Bible study, I walk through Proverbs 3:5–6 and talk about what it means to truly let go and trust God’s hand when life doesn’t make sense. You’ll learn why His plan is always better than your preference, and how peace begins where control ends.You can’t be full of faith and full of control at the same time.
In this first message of our Family Values series, I talk about what it really means to build a home that lasts. Every family wants stability, but stability doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built on a foundation.We look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:24–27 and discover that what you build on determines what will stand. Strong families aren’t perfect — they’re anchored. When faith is practiced, not just preached, your home can bend without breaking and stand firm when life hits hard.If your house has been shaking lately — emotionally, spiritually, or relationally — this message will help you rebuild on what never fails: Christ, our solid foundation.
This week, we close out our Church Explained series by talking about one of the hardest but most necessary topics in the church—giving. In this message, I unpack Deuteronomy 14 and show that giving was never about money—it’s always been about the heart.Giving reminds us who our Provider is, reorients our hearts to worship, and releases God’s provision to others. When we give, we’re not just releasing resources—we’re releasing faith. Because when giving becomes worship, generosity becomes joy.
En este mensaje compartido en Casa (CRS), hablo sobre esas heridas que muchos cargan pero pocos reconocen. A veces nos presentamos fuertes, con la armadura puesta, sirviendo, liderando, sonriendo… pero hay heridas debajo que todavía sangran. A través de la historia del rey Acab, aprendemos que no importa cuán brillante sea la armadura, si no permitimos que Dios sane lo que está oculto, esa herida terminará afectando nuestro propósito.Este mensaje es un llamado a dejar de cubrir el dolor y permitir que el Espíritu Santo traiga verdadera sanidad donde nadie más puede llegar.
In this week’s Bible study, we continue our series Difficult People by looking at one of the hardest challenges of all—loving people who are different from us. In John 13:31–35, Jesus raises the standard and gives His disciples a new command: to love one another as He has loved us.In this teaching, I share why love isn’t optional, how Jesus Himself set the measure for real love, and why love is the greatest witness we have in a divided world. The proof of discipleship isn’t in who we look like or what we know—it’s in how we love.If you’ve ever struggled to embrace people who don’t think, act, or live like you, this episode will challenge you and encourage you to love like Jesus.
This week in our Church Explained series, we dive into Nehemiah 9:1–5 and look at the power of united prayer. Prayer isn’t just something we do between songs and sermons—it’s the heartbeat of the church.In this message, I share how prayer confronts our condition, connects us to God’s Word, and confirms our unity. Too often we treat prayer like a transaction—put in a request, expect a result. But true prayer isn’t about using God to get what we want; it’s about aligning ourselves with Him and standing together as His people.If you’ve ever wondered why prayer matters so much, or why we take time to pray together in church, this episode will remind you: a prayerless church may look alive, but it has no pulse. And when prayer unites us, God strengthens us.
In this episode of our Difficult People series, I teach from Matthew 12:1–15 about one of the hardest commands Jesus ever gave us: loving our enemies. We’ll look at how Jesus confronted opposition, chose compassion over rigid rules, and showed courage with wisdom when His enemies plotted against Him.If you’ve ever felt the sting of criticism, betrayal, or open hostility, this message will encourage you. Jesus shows us that opposition isn’t always a sign of failure—sometimes it’s confirmation of faithfulness. And most importantly, we’ll be reminded that the only reason we’re no longer God’s enemies is because of His love for us.
In this episode, I kick off our new Bible study series “Difficult People” by looking at one of the hardest groups to love—our own family. We dive into Mark 3:20–35, where even Jesus faced tension with His mother and brothers. I share how Jesus handled being misunderstood at home, why our loyalty to God must come before everything else, and how grace empowers us to love even when it’s costly.If you’ve ever felt the sting of family conflict, or struggled to stay faithful when those closest to you don’t understand your calling, this teaching is for you.
In this tonight's study from Proverbs 29:2, 7, and 12, we talk about “Wisdom for the Community.” Wisdom was never meant to be selfish—it’s meant to bless the people around us.In this episode, I share how wisdom considers the people we influence, defends the vulnerable who often get overlooked, and sets the tone in leadership that shapes the culture for everyone else. Proverbs reminds us that our decisions don’t stop with us—they ripple out into our families, our church, our workplace, and our community.My prayer is that this study challenges you to see your choices in a bigger way. Don’t just ask, “Will this help me?” Ask, “Will this bless others?” Because when wisdom rules, people rejoice, the vulnerable are protected, and communities thrive under God’s blessing.
This week, I kicked off our brand-new series Church Explained with a message out of Psalm 124 called “When Worship Works.” Worship isn’t a product we consume—it’s a posture we live. Too many people come to church expecting a concert, a lecture, or a show. But worship was never meant to be about consumption; it’s about celebration.In this message, I share how worship rekindles our remembrance, restores our resolve, and revives our hope. We talk about why worship is more than music—it’s memory, it’s strength, it’s faith, and it’s hope for tomorrow.If you’ve ever struggled to engage in worship, or if you’ve treated it like background noise, this episode will remind you: worship is not about what you get out of it—it’s about Who you give it to. And when you worship with that posture, you’ll discover what happens when worship truly works.
This week we continue our Decisions, Decisions series with a study from Proverbs 15:20–33 called “Walking It Out.” Wisdom isn’t wisdom until it’s lived. In this episode, I talk about how wisdom produces real joy, how it shapes every relationship in our lives, and why humility is essential if we want to keep growing.Too many people confuse knowledge with wisdom—filling their heads with information but never letting it shape their choices. Proverbs reminds us that wisdom is practical. It shows up in the words we speak, the way we treat people, and the humility we carry before God.My prayer is that this study will challenge you not just to learn wisdom but to live it—because the more you practice wisdom, the clearer your decisions become, and the closer you walk with the God who gives it.
Today we’re kicking off a brand-new series called Church Explained. Before we can explain church, we’ve got to let God expose the church. In this message, “I’m Sick of This Church,” I walk through Revelation 3:16 where Jesus speaks to the church in Laodicea. He calls out their complacency, their comfort, and their compromise — but He also offers a cure. This is a challenging word, but it’s also a hopeful one. If you’ve ever felt your fire slipping or your faith getting lukewarm, this message is for you.
In this week’s Decisions, Decisions series, we look at “Wisdom’s Voice” from Proverbs 8:1–11. Life is noisy, but God’s wisdom is not silent — she cries out at the crossroads, inviting everyone to listen. In this study, I share how wisdom speaks, why she’s worth more than silver or gold, and how listening to her voice will steady you in both gain and loss.
In this week’s message from our Fresh Faith series, I preached from Malachi 3:1–5 about what I call Covenant Fire. Israel longed for God’s justice, but God reminded them: when He comes, He doesn’t come casually—He comes to cleanse.We walked through how God sends His Messenger to prepare us, reveals His Mastery to take over, uses fire to Refine us, and then shows the Proof of His covenant in our lives. The fire isn’t meant to destroy you—it’s meant to develop you. It doesn’t consume—it cleanses.Fresh faith doesn’t run from the fire—it embraces it. Because on the other side of the fire is freedom.If you’ve been walking through a season of testing, this message will remind you: the covenant-keeping God sits with you in the fire until He sees His reflection in you.
In this week’s message from our Fresh Faith series, I deal with what it means to honor God’s covenant in every area of life—marriage, leadership, and our personal walk with Him. Malachi reminds us that faithfulness matters to God. You can’t claim covenant without commitment, and you can’t honor the covenant if you forget the Creator.This word will challenge you to examine your relationships, your responsibilities, and your devotion. If you can’t be trusted with people you can see, how can you be trusted with the God you can’t see?Tune in, take notes, and let this message call you back to covenant faithfulness.
This week, we close out our Theology of Worship series with a powerful reminder from Exodus 15:22–27 (NIV). The wilderness isn’t just a place of testing—it’s a place of worship.In this Bible Study, we explore how God uses dry, bitter, and uncertain seasons to reveal His provision, His power, and His presence. You’ll hear how the Israelites learned to lift their praise even when the water was bitter, and how we can do the same when life feels barren. The wilderness may strip us, but it can also shape us into true worshipers.
In this message, I walk us through one of the most direct and challenging questions God asks His people: “If I am a Father, where is the honor due me?”Malachi’s audience hadn’t stopped worshipping—they were still showing up to the temple, still bringing offerings—but somewhere along the way, they lost their awe. They were giving God what was easy, what was left, and what was broken… and expecting Him to be pleased.I share how this isn’t just an ancient problem—it’s a mirror for us today. Honor isn’t just vertical toward God; it’s also horizontal toward the people He’s placed in our lives. And when honor leaves the altar, it eventually leaves every other area of life.This is a call to return to reverence, to give God our best, and to let that honor overflow into how we live, love, and serve.
There are moments in life when what you know about God and what you’re experiencing just don’t seem to line up. You’ve been faithful—but things are still hard. You’ve shown up—but breakthrough hasn’t.In this first message of our Fresh Faith series, I preach from Malachi 1:1–5 and remind us that God’s love is not seasonal—it’s sovereign. His covenant love doesn’t change with our circumstances, and His greatness will always be revealed—even when it doesn’t feel like it yet.This word is for anybody who’s been questioning the journey, comparing their life to others, or feeling forgotten. You are still loved. Still chosen. And God is still great.
In this opening message of our brand-new series Fail Forward, I unpack the truth that failure doesn’t have to define you—especially when you’re in Christ. I dive into Romans 6:12–18 and share how God gives us the freedom to grow, not stay stuck.In this message, we confront the shame cycle, expose the lie that failure disqualifies you, and walk through three key shifts that will help you move forward after the fall. You’ll learn how to face the failure, follow the freedom, and fuel the fight. Because when grace steps in, sin loses its grip.This one is for anyone who’s ever messed up and wondered if God could still use them. Spoiler: He can. And He will.
