    Victory in Temptation | Luke 4:1-13

    Temptation is something every believer will face, but we do not have to face it unprepared. In Luke 4, Jesus shows us what it looks like to stand firm when the enemy attacks. The enemy often targets our identity, exploits our weakest points, offers shortcuts that require compromise, and even tempts us to test God. But Jesus responds with the truth of God’s Word, demonstrating that Scripture is not merely something we read, but a weapon we prepare to use when temptation comes. In this message, we’ll learn how to recognize temptation, prepare for it before it arrives, resist compromise, and follow Jesus’ example when we are under attack. We can have victory over temptation when we follow Jesus’ example.

    A Second Birth? | Malachi 1, John 1, John 3

    What does it mean to be born again? In this message, we examine the truth that our own efforts, sacrifices, and religious works can never solve our greatest problem: sin. Malachi exposes the insufficiency of what we offer God, while John points us to Jesus as the only spotless Lamb who can take away our sin. Jesus told Nicodemus that we must be born again. But what does that new birth look like, and is there evidence of it in our lives? The gospel is not about becoming a better version of ourselves. It is about the finished work of Jesus Christ and the new life He gives to those who believe in Him. Only Jesus can provide eternal life!

    Don’t Go to Ono (Oh No) | Nehemiah 6

    God has called His people to holiness, but we will continually face invitations to compromise, get distracted, or step away from the work He has given us. In Nehemiah 6, Nehemiah’s enemies repeatedly invite him to “come down” from the work, but he refuses to be pulled away from God’s mission. The enemy’s invitation often begins by simply asking us to consider another option. Compromise can seem small, harmless, or justified, but even small compromises can pull our hearts away from God’s purposes. Instead, we are called to recognize the invitation, refuse to come down, remain consistent in resisting temptation, rely on God for help, and refuse to let fear lead us into compromise. When God has called us to something, we don’t need to come down. Keep going. Keep building. Keep pursuing holiness.

    Faithful Through Opposition | Nehemiah 4

    Following God does not mean opposition will disappear. In Nehemiah 4, God’s people face ridicule, threats, fear, and constant pressure, yet they refuse to stop the work God has given them. Opposition often begins by attacking our identity, our abilities, and the value of what we are doing. But when the enemy tries to discourage the worker, God calls us to keep going. We keep communicating with our Commander through prayer, keep working together in humility, stay watchful, guard our weaknesses, remember our Lord, and do whatever it takes to remain faithful. The battle may be difficult, but we can keep going because God is greater than every enemy we face.

    For Such a Time and Place as This

    You are not where you are by accident. You are not living in this moment of history by coincidence. Just as God placed Esther in a specific place at a specific time, He has placed each of us where we are for a purpose. In this message, we discover that God’s plans are never dependent on our obedience, but He graciously invites us to be part of what He is doing. Following Jesus means saying yes to Him, even when that yes requires us to say no to comfort, complacency, or compromise. God’s sovereignty never excuses our obedience. It gives our obedience purpose. And one of the greatest joys of the Christian life is being used by God to accomplish something only He could do.

    Before You Post...

    Conviction or condemnation? In this episode, we look at biblical correction, self-examination, and how Christians should respond when another believer falls into sin. Scripture calls us to pursue holiness, speak the truth in love, and restore others gently, not publicly humiliate them. Before you post, pray. Check your own heart. And ask: Am I correcting to restore, or am I posting to tear down?

    Whatever It Takes: Living Fully Surrendered to Christ

    What does it actually mean to surrender your life to Jesus? A life changed by Christ should produce a growing hunger for God’s Word, a desire to tell others about Jesus, and a willingness to serve. Salvation is not simply about escaping judgment and going to heaven. It is about belonging to Christ and saying, “Lord, here’s my life. Whatever you want to do with it, use it for Your glory.” Ultimately, the question is simple: Are we living according to our agenda, or are we willing to surrender everything to the King?

    Your Pastor Is Not Your Lord | Part II

Join us as we continue the conversation and consider what Scripture actually teaches on these matters. #TheDeathOfThePastorsWife #SpiritualAbuse #PastoralAuthority #ChurchLeadership #Accountability
