    HOME VALUES: A Healthy Marriage, A Living Portrait of the Gospel

    In this message from Ephesians 5:25-33, guest preacher Billy Beacham unpacks one of the most familiar passages on marriage in the New Testament and shows how it points to something bigger than the couple themselves. Marriage, he explains, is meant to be a living portrait of Christ's love for the church—husbands loving sacrificially, wives responding with respect, and two people becoming one over a lifetime rather than in a single moment. The heart of the sermon is simple but convicting: teachability is the key to a healthy marriage. Drawing on Ephesians, Genesis, and Tim Keller's writing on marriage, Billy encourages couples to make their spouse their best friend, to serve rather than keep score, to consciously bring out the best in each other, and to let God grow them through the very relationship that knows their flaws best. This will especially encourage couples going through a hard season, along with singles and anyone wondering what a Christ-centered marriage actually looks like. Billy is honest about the pain some marriages carry, sharing stories of couples who have seen God restore what felt broken, and reminding listeners that focusing on their own 10 percent—rather than their spouse's 90 percent—is often where real change begins. Preacher: Billy Beacham, Guest Preacher Scripture: Ephesians 5:25-33, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5, 1 Corinthians 7:7, Colossians 3:19, Proverbs 15:13, Proverbs 17:22, Jeremiah 17:9 First Burleson · Watch on YouTube

    HOME VALUES: The Design

    This sermon opens a new series called Home Values, which looks at nine biblical principles for marriage and family life. Pastor Chris begins in Genesis 2:18–25, showing that marriage and family were not humanity's idea but God's design from the very beginning of creation, and that His design was declared very good. The main takeaway is that while sin has broken and distorted God's original design, God is a God of redemption who can take broken people and broken marriages and make something beautiful out of them, much like the art of mending broken pottery with gold. This message is especially encouraging for anyone who feels like their family doesn't fit a perfect mold — single adults, single parents, blended families, or those carrying wounds from the past — reminding them that God's grace and presence are for them too. The sermon also unpacks three marks of God's very good design for marriage: it is a relationship of priority (the leave and cleave principle), a relationship of covenant rather than contract, and a relationship of intimacy marked by openness and trust, closing with an invitation to let Christ's love fill and flow through every marriage and family.

    MORE TO THE STORY: The Parable of the Prodigal Son

    This sermon walks through one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told — the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. Set against the backdrop of Pharisees grumbling that Jesus welcomed sinners, the story reveals a father whose love for both a reckless younger son and a resentful older son is far more extravagant than either son deserved. The main point is simple but powerful: the story isn't really about how far a sinner can run, but about how far God's grace can reach. Anyone who has ever felt too far gone, or anyone who has quietly kept score with God like a dutiful older brother, will find real encouragement here — a reminder that the Father runs toward us, not away from us. The sermon closes with two applications: personally receiving the Father's grace no matter which son we resemble, and corporately reflecting that same grace as a church that moves toward the broken rather than standing at a distance from them.

    MORE TO THE STORY: The Parable of the Persistent Widow

    In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus tells the story of a persistent widow who keeps bringing her case before an uncaring judge until he finally grants her justice. Jesus tells this parable for a clear reason: so that his disciples would always pray and never lose heart. This message walks through the parable, its point, and how to live it out, especially for anyone who has prayed the same prayer for a long time and wondered if God is even listening. The main point is this: we keep praying not because persistence earns us an answer from a reluctant God, but because God is genuinely good, nothing like the unrighteous judge in the story. This is especially encouraging for anyone in a season of waiting, whether it's a health diagnosis, a struggling marriage, a wayward child, or a financial burden, who needs the reminder that God never grows tired of hearing from them. The sermon closes with two practical takeaways: develop a persistent prayer life, following the example of Jesus and the early church, and let prayer be an ongoing expression of faith woven through every part of life rather than confined to a 'Jesus compartment.' The encouragement for everyone is simple: don't stop praying, because God has not stopped listening. Preacher: Chris Wigley, Lead Pastor Scripture: Luke 18:1–8, Luke 11:5–8, Luke 3:21, Luke 6:12, Luke 22:32, Luke 22:40, Luke 23:46, 1 Peter 5:7, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 First Burleson · Watch on YouTube

    MORE TO THE STORY: The Parable of the Rich Fool

    This sermon walks through Luke 12:13–21, the parable Jesus told after a young man interrupted his teaching to demand a fair share of his father's inheritance. Before Jesus ever tells the story of the rich fool who built bigger barns, he exposes the real issue underneath the argument between two brothers: greed. From there he tells of a wealthy landowner whose crops were so abundant he decided to tear down his barns, build bigger ones, and coast on his success — only to have God call him a fool the very night he died. The main point is simple but convicting: life does not consist in the abundance of possessions, and anything we treasure more than God will always have a natural enemy that can take it away. This message is especially encouraging for anyone who has quietly let money, comfort, or possessions become more important than their relationship with the Lord, and for anyone wrestling with what it truly means to be 'rich toward God.' The sermon closes by turning to Jesus' call to his disciples not to worry about food or clothing but to seek treasure in heaven, illustrated by the true story of Robert the Bruce, whose heart never reached the treasure he prized most. The closing question lingers: is the treasure of your life worth your heart?
