    Running to Win Part 1

    What does it mean to run the race of our Christian life in a way that leads to winning the prize? Today, Pastor Jay encourages us to live our Christian lives with intention. We should not live with uncertainty, but rather in a manner that enables us to win the race. Casual living leads to disqualification. If you want to live in a way that wins the prize, focus on three key aspects: establish a solid foundation in God’s Word, gain a clear understanding of God’s mission, and develop proper spiritual discipline.

    Resonsible Freedom Part 2

    Do our behavior, speech, and actions ever cause someone else to stumble? Today, Pastor Jay warns us about the potential of being a stumbling block to our weaker brothers and sisters in Christ. He emphasizes the importance of safeguarding our freedom in Christ so that it does not hinder someone else’s faith. Sometimes, stumbling blocks can be subtle. For instance, they may manifest as a lack of love or a failure to live a godly life. Submit to God and limit anything that leads others astray.

    Resonsible Freedom Part 1

    Is your church a welcoming community of love that draws others to attend? In today’s message, Pastor Jay reminds us of Paul’s message to the church in Corinth. This church struggled with selfishness, carnality, and pride, lacking genuine love for one another. The love among believers should be sacrificial. Although they knew God, their pride hindered their relationships. A true relationship with God should lead to a life of submission to Him, resulting in selfless actions that attract the lost.

    Marriage and Divorce Part 2

    What is the fundamental purpose of marriage? Why did God establish this institution? In his message today, Pastor Jay explains that although one purpose of marriage is to procreate and God permits sexual relationships, the primary purpose of marriage is companionship. God intended for two individuals to become one in spirit, soul, and mind. He provided a partner to comfort, encourage, and support. An attack on marriage is an assault on our entire society and the well-being of our souls.

    Marriage and Divorce Part 1

    Why does God have such strict requirements for remaining in a marriage? The Apostle Paul states that if a person leaves a marriage, they should remain unmarried. Today, Pastor Jay explains the importance of marriage. He reminds us that God established marriage before the church, businesses, or schools, and that it is the foundational element of all society. Marriage was meant to be eternal, which is why the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman is so significant.

    How a Godly Marriage Testifies of God's Grace Part 2

    A Godly marriage encompasses several essential characteristics. Today, Pastor Jay explains the importance of these actions and attitudes. For a marriage to thrive, both partners must be submissive to each other, love one another, maintain exclusivity, and meet each other’s needs. This type of marriage honors God. We should be attentive to our partner’s spiritual condition and mindful of anything that might cause them to stumble. Pray for one another and seek God together.

    How a Godly Marriage Testifies of God's Grace Part 1

    What was God's intention for marriage? In his message today, Pastor Jay reminds us to approach marriage with seriousness. It is not an institution to be taken lightly. God designed marriage to reflect the relationship between the church and Christ. It symbolizes the union of two individuals becoming one. This union serves as a reminder of God's eternal commitment to His people. We should not enter into marriage casually. It is meant to be a partnership that strengthens two people’s faith in God.

    A Life Shaped by an Understanding of the Gospel Part 2

    It’s possible to look spiritual on the outside, reading Scripture, praying, and showing up to church, while completely missing the life of the Spirit on the inside. Samson thought he still had God’s strength until “The Spirit of God left him, and he did not know it.” The danger is the same for us: going through the motions of religion without true communion with Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Jay warns us not to settle for a counterfeit faith, but to remember that our very bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
