    The Dashboard Lights: How to Make Your Marriage Last

    Marriage, like a vehicle built to last, needs regular check-ups. In this episode, we walk through key “dashboard lights” that may signal areas of your marriage that need attention before a breakdown happens. With your spouse, work through each “dashboard light” together. Read the Scripture, discuss the questions honestly, and decide on one or two action steps you can take this week. Communication – “Check Engine” Light Scripture: Ephesians 5:31 How would you describe the current “engine health” of our communication? When conflict arises, what do we typically do — withdraw, argue, or listen? What helps you feel heard and understood? What action steps can you take this week? Finances – “Low Fuel” Light Scripture: Matthew 6:21 Do we both know where our money is going each month? How do we currently pray (or not pray) about financial decisions? What does stewarding money as one look like for us? What action steps can you take this week? Intimacy – “Low Oil Pressure” Light Scripture: Ephesians 5:31 How connected do we feel emotionally, spiritually, and physically right now? What drains our intimacy most — stress, schedule, or neglect? How can we be more intentional in expressing love this week? What action steps can you take this week? Work–Life Balance – “Overheating” Light Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Do our schedules reflect our priorities? What part of our life feels overheated right now? How could we incorporate more rest or a Sabbath rhythm? What action steps can you take this week? Spiritual Connection – “Battery” Light Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:12 How connected do we feel to God as a couple? When was the last time we prayed or served together? What could re-energize our spiritual life? What action steps can you take this week? Parenting & Family Unity – “Tire Pressure” Light Scripture: Proverbs 22:6 Are we united in how we lead and discipline our children? What are the top three values we want our family to live by? How can we model unity and grace for our kids? What action steps can you take this week? Emotional Health – “Stability Control” Light Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 How are we each doing emotionally — really? What makes it difficult to open up or be vulnerable with each other? How can we better support one another’s emotional and mental health? What action steps can you take this week? Routine Maintenance Plan Daily: What is one thing we can pray about or thank God for together today? Weekly: How can we spend intentional “us time” this week? Monthly: What area of our marriage needs attention or gratitude right now? Yearly: When can we plan a retreat or intentional time away together?

    Playing God: When We Try to Take His Place

    From the very beginning, humanity has wrestled with the temptation to step into God’s role — to define right and wrong, control outcomes, and trust our own understanding above His. In this message, Pastor Jerry reminds us that playing God never leads to peace. True freedom comes when we surrender control and trust the One who rightfully sits on the throne.

    Playing God: Quiet the Noise

    In a world addicted to noise, speed, and control, silence feels uncomfortable. But what if our constant distraction is actually a way of avoiding God? In this message, we explore the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude and how stepping away from the noise helps us stop playing God and start trusting Him. When we quiet our world, we create space to hear the One who was speaking all along.

    Playing God: Omniscient & Incomprehensible

    We live as if we need to know everything — control everything, predict everything, fix everything. But in Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us of a freeing truth: God is all-knowing, and we are not. Prayer isn’t about informing God of something He doesn’t know. It’s about trusting the One who already sees the full picture. When we try to “play God,” we carry burdens we were never meant to hold — anxiety about tomorrow, control over others, frustration when life doesn’t follow our plans. But when we begin our prayers with, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,” we reset our perspective. God is holy. God is sovereign. God is wise beyond our understanding. And His will is better than ours — even when it’s harder. This message calls us to surrender: Surrender the need to be seen. Surrender the need to control outcomes. Surrender the illusion that we know best. Trust the God whose knowledge is perfect and whose ways are higher. We don’t have to understand everything to trust the One who does.

    Rooted Finale: Write It Down. Live It Out.

    Rooted Finale — Journaling & Learning As we close our Rooted series, we talk about two “accessories” that can take your faith deeper: Christian journaling and Christian learning. Journaling helps you process life with God, remember His faithfulness, and leave a legacy beyond yourself. Christian learning can strengthen your understanding—if it stays anchored in Scripture and leads to heart transformation, not just information. Our goal isn’t a checklist. It’s deeper relationship with Jesus in 2026.

    Rooted: Silence & Solitude — Quiet the Devil to Death

    In this message from Rooted: Growing in the Spiritual Disciplines, we explore the often-overlooked discipline of silence and solitude—purposeful time away from noise and people so spiritual goals can be attained. Using Anton Chekhov’s short story The Bet as a striking illustration, we see how solitude can expose what truly matters and reshape the heart. Scripture shows that Jesus regularly withdrew into quiet places to pray—before, after, and even during demanding seasons of ministry. From Elijah hearing God’s whisper, to Habakkuk seeking perspective, to Paul’s time in the desert, the Bible presents solitude as a pathway to spiritual clarity. The message also challenges our modern addiction to noise, hurry, and crowds, highlighting how God often restores perspective and reveals His will in private moments. The call is simple but countercultural: build intentional rhythms of quiet, turn down the noise, and make space to listen—because deep spiritual formation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through discipline.

    Rooted: What Fuels Your Worship?

    In this message from Rooted: Growing in the Spiritual Disciplines, Colby reframes worship as an outpouring of gratitude toward the Lord—expressed through our words, actions, obedience, and conduct, not just singing. Using the Ark of the Covenant and David’s song in 1 Chronicles 16, he shows how worship is fueled by remembering what God has done and knowing who God is—and how gratitude flows from memory. Colby challenges the church to actively track God’s work in everyday life, to grow deeper in Scripture so worship doesn’t drift, and to remember what it cost for sin to be forgiven under the Old Testament sacrificial system. Ultimately, worship is rooted in the gospel: Jesus is the final sacrifice, the veil was torn, and God’s presence is no longer confined to a room—it dwells in believers through the Holy Spirit. The message ends with a call to examine what we truly worship and to live Romans 12:1 as “true and proper worship.”
