Right Living: Don't Worry 'Bout It

Worry is a natural part of life. We all carry concerns about the future—our needs, our responsibilities, our relationships, and the things we cannot control. But Jesus offers more than a command to stop worrying. In the Sermon on the Mount, He reminds His followers of the character and care of their heavenly Father. The God who provides for the birds of the air and clothes the flowers of the field can be trusted with the needs of His children. This message explores Jesus' invitation to live with confidence in God's care rather than being consumed by fear about tomorrow. It reminds us that when we know who our Father is, we are freed to seek His kingdom today. It invites us to consider— What do my worries reveal about where I am placing my trust?

Right Living: Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Many people hesitate to approach God. Some wonder if He is truly interested in their concerns, others feel unworthy to ask, and some simply do not know whether God can be trusted with the things they carry. But Jesus invites us into a different kind of relationship with God. In the Sermon on the Mount, He calls His followers to ask, seek, and knock with confidence—not because we have earned His attention, but because we approach a Father who loves His children and delights in giving good gifts. This message explores Jesus' invitation to come boldly to God for wisdom, guidance, and everything we need to live faithfully. It reminds us that prayer is not about convincing a reluctant God to care, but responding to a good Father who welcomes us. It invites us to consider: Do I approach God with confidence in His goodness, or do I allow doubt and hesitation to keep me from drawing near? Enjoyed this episode?

Right Living: Who You Lookin' At?

Few teachings of Jesus are quoted more often than, "Do not judge." Yet we live in a culture that seems increasingly quick to criticize, condemn, and define people by their worst moments. Was Jesus telling us to abandon moral convictions? Ignore sin? Never confront wrongdoing? In this message from Matthew 7:1–6, we discover that Jesus is addressing something much deeper than our words or opinions—He is confronting the posture of our hearts. Before we focus on the faults of others, He calls us to honestly examine our own lives, receive God's mercy, and allow that mercy to transform the way we see and respond to others. Rather than producing indifference toward sin, Jesus shows us a better way: a life marked by humility, compassion, and a sincere desire to help others rather than condemn them. Enjoyed this episode?

When The Cross Becomes Personal (Andrew Vieira)

The cross is one of the most familiar stories in history—but has it become personal to you? In this message, Andrew explores how Jesus' sacrifice is far more than a historical event. When we truly grasp the depth of His love and the price He willingly paid for us, gratitude becomes more than a feeling—it becomes a joyful response that transforms our relationship with God and the way we live each day. Through Scripture and practical application, discover how making Christ's sacrifice personal leads to deeper worship, willing obedience, authentic relationship with God, and a life marked by love, service, and hope.

Right Living: Investing Your Life Wisely

Most people spend a great deal of time and energy investing in things they believe will bring security, happiness, or significance. We invest in careers, possessions, experiences, achievements, and relationships, hoping they will provide lasting fulfillment. But Jesus challenges us to think carefully about where we are investing our lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, he contrasts treasures that are temporary and vulnerable with treasures that endure. More than a discussion about money, this teaching exposes the deeper reality that our investments reveal our priorities, shape our hearts, and ultimately reflect whom we trust. This message explores Jesus' invitation to invest in what truly lasts. It reminds us that while earthly treasures can be lost, stolen, or destroyed, the treasures of God's kingdom are secure and eternal. It invites us to consider: What am I investing my life in—and will it last? Enjoyed this episode? Subscribe to the podcast and leave a review to let us know what you think!

Right Living: Stop The Show

Most people understand the temptation to seek recognition. Whether through social media, accomplishments, service, or even acts of faith, we naturally want to be seen, appreciated, and affirmed by others. But Jesus offers a profound warning in the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at three common religious practices—giving, prayer, and fasting—we discover that these practices can lose both their meaning and their reward when they become performances for others rather than expressions of a relationship with God. This message explores Jesus' invitation to live for the approval of our heavenly Father rather than the applause of people. It reminds us that the greatest rewards of faith are not found in being noticed by others, but in knowing and being known by God. It invites us to consider: Are we practicing our faith to be seen by others, or to know and depend on God? Enjoyed this episode?

Right Living: Crazy, Awesome Love

Most people believe in loving those who love them. After all, it is natural to show kindness to friends, care for family, and love those who treat us well. But Jesus takes the conversation much deeper. Looking at His teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, we discover that His followers are called to a different kind of love—one that extends beyond those who deserve it and reaches even those who oppose us. This message explores God's invitation to love as He loves. A love that is not determined by the behaviour of others, but flows from the character of God Himself. It invites us to consider: Are we merely loving those who love us, or learning to love as God loves? Enjoyed this episode? Subscribe to the podcast and leave a review to let us know what you think!

Right Living: Going The Extra Mile

Most people believe in standing up for themselves. After all, when we are wronged, our instinct is often to get even, protect our rights, or make sure others feel what we have felt. But Jesus takes the conversation deeper. Looking at His teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, we discover that His followers are called to respond differently. Rather than being driven by retaliation, they are invited to overcome evil with unexpected generosity, humility, and self-sacrifice. This message explores God's invitation to go beyond what is required, choosing a path that reflects His character even when it comes at a personal cost. It invites us to consider: When we are wronged, are we merely seeking what is fair, or are we willing to love in ways that go the extra mile? Enjoyed this episode?
