    "Made New" | Ephesians 3 | Russell Cravens

    What does the power of God actually look like at work in us? In Ephesians 3, Paul shows us that God isn't just making you new. God is making us new together. As we become rooted in the love of Christ, his power transforms us into a people whose life together puts his glory on display.

    "No Longer Strangers" | Ephesians 2:11-22 | Jake Porter

    What does it really mean to belong?  In Ephesians 2:11–22, Paul reminds us that Jesus doesn’t simply forgive us as isolated individuals. He brings outsiders near, tears down the walls that divide us, and makes strangers into family. In Christ, we’re not merely welcomed into God’s presence. Together, we’re being built into a place where God dwells. Big Idea: In Christ, outsiders become family and strangers become a home for God.

    "But God" | Ephesians 2:1-10 | Russell Cravens

    In Ephesians 2:1–10, Paul reveals the depth of our greatest problem and the wonder of God’s solution. We were spiritually dead, unable to rescue ourselves, “but God,” rich in mercy and love, made us alive with Christ. Salvation is not something we achieve; it is a gift of grace that gives us a new life and a new way to walk. Main Idea: If the problem is death, we do not need improvement. We need resurrection.

    "Eyes Open" | Ephesians 1:15-23 | Russell Cravens

    You can possess something without recognizing its true value. In Ephesians 1:15–23, Paul prays that believers would see more clearly what is already theirs in Christ: a secure future, a place among the people God treasures, and resurrection power directed toward them. Because Jesus is risen and reigning over all things, we can surrender what we are holding back and take our next faithful step. In Christ, you already have more than you can see.

    "In Christ" | Ephesians 1 | Dr. Jake Porter

    What if the deepest blessings in life are not the ones we can achieve, acquire, or lose? In Ephesians 1:1–14, we discover what God has already done for us in Christ. The Father chose us, the Son redeemed us, and the Spirit sealed us. Before God tells us what to do, he wants us to know what he has done. This message begins our 12-week journey through Ephesians, exploring who we are in Christ and how that changes the way we live.

    NtC DiscipleshipOS: This Is How Life With Jesus Works

    (audio quality is B-, apologies) What if trying harder isn’t the answer? In Matthew 4:18–22, Jesus calls four ordinary fishermen to follow him—and within that invitation, we discover how life with Jesus works. We belong to his people, surrender to his leadership, train in his way, and help others do the same. These are not steps we complete. They are movements we continually live in as Jesus changes us and works through us.

    "Everyday Allegiance" | The Promised Life | Joshua 23 & 24 | Russell Cravens

    God’s faithfulness deserves our allegiance in every season—not only when life is difficult, but also when life is comfortable. In this final message from The Promised Life, Joshua challenges God’s people to remember his faithfulness, recognize the rival gods competing for their hearts, and choose daily whom they will serve. Discover why the Promised Life is ultimately life in the presence of God. #HoustonChurch #HoustonChristians #HTXChurch #MontroseHouston #HoustonFaithCommunity

    Protect the Unity | The Promised Life | Joshua 22 | Russell Cravens

    What happens when a misunderstanding threatens to divide people who once stood side by side? In Joshua 22, the tribes of Israel go from fighting together to nearly fighting each other. Fear and assumptions fill in the gaps—but one decision changes everything: someone crosses the river and seeks understanding. In “Protect the Unity,” Russell Cravens explores three practices that can help us navigate conflict, protect relationships, and resist assuming the worst about one another. Because fear doesn’t just affect how we feel—it affects how we interpret. And our unity testifies to the goodness of God.
