    The Importance of Fun and Togetherness | Some Assembly Required | Corey Abney

    In a world filled with constant distractions, many families are spending more time together than ever—yet feeling less connected than ever before. In this message from Exodus 20:8–11 and Proverbs 17:22, Pastor Corey teaches that strong families are not built merely by sharing space, but by sharing meaningful experiences. While previous generations struggled with distance, today’s families often struggle with distraction. He challenges parents and families to intentionally cultivate a culture of rest, fun, and togetherness that strengthens relationships and creates lasting memories. Drawing from biblical principles and practical family wisdom, Pastor Corey explains that God designed families to thrive through connection, celebration, and shared experiences. He reminds us that children often remember moments more than possessions, and that the greatest gift we can give those we love is our presence. Through this encouraging and practical sermon, Pastor Corey shares: • Why being together is not the same as being truly present • How technology and distraction can undermine family relationships • God’s design for rest, rejuvenation, and enjoyment through the Sabbath principle • Why play and shared experiences help build secure family bonds • The difference between laziness and healthy leisure • How joy and fun provide balance to the demands of parenting and family life • Why busyness often keeps us from what matters most • The importance of creating a “museum of memories” that strengthens family relationships • How giving your children your time can be more valuable than giving them more things • Why healthy family cultures are built through intentional connection, encouragement, and celebration Featuring insights from Exodus, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Luke, 1 Timothy, and the teachings of Jesus, Pastor Corey challenges families to slow down, be fully present, and invest in the relationships that matter most. Discover how God’s design for rest, joy, and togetherness can help your family build deeper connections and create memories that last a lifetime. 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    How to Manage your Money | Some Assembly Required | Corey Abney

    Money is one of the greatest sources of tension in families—but God’s Word offers a better way. In this message from Philippians 4:11–13 and Proverbs 30:7–9, Pastor Corey teaches that financial peace is not found in having more money, but in having more margin. While culture encourages the pursuit of wealth and possessions, he points to the biblical principle that true contentment comes from disciplining our desires and trusting God with what He has provided. Drawing from practical wisdom throughout Scripture, Pastor Corey explains that financial peace is less about managing money and more about mastering the desires that drive our spending. He challenges families to pursue a lifestyle marked by contentment, wise stewardship, and generosity. Through this encouraging and practical sermon, Pastor Corey shares: • Why financial peace begins with contentment, not a higher income • How quality of life matters more than standard of living • The importance of building margin through discipline and intentional planning • Why a budget is an essential tool for faithful stewardship • How debt can limit freedom and create unnecessary burdens • God’s biblical pattern of giving, saving, and living on the rest • Why generosity reflects trust in God rather than trust in wealth • How true riches are found in contentment and a growing relationship with Christ Featuring insights from Philippians, Proverbs, 1 Timothy, Hebrews, Ecclesiastes, and the teachings of Jesus, Pastor Corey challenges believers to rethink their relationship with money and discover the freedom that comes from living according to God’s design. 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    Two Essentials for Godly Parenting | Some Assembly Required | Corey Abney

    Parents are the most influential force in a child’s life—but what does godly parenting actually look like? In this message from Ephesians 6:1–4, we explore the two essential pillars of biblical parenting: instruction and discipline. Through the cautionary example of Eli and his sons, as well as practical wisdom from Scripture, we are reminded that raising children requires both consistent teaching and loving training. Through this encouraging and challenging sermon, we learn: • Godly parenting requires both instruction and discipline • Teaching should be continual, intentional, and woven into everyday life • Discipline is about training and restoration, not punishment • Children adjust to what is tolerated, not just what is communicated • A parent’s example often has a greater impact than their advice Featuring insights from Deuteronomy 6, 1 Samuel 2–3, 2 Timothy 3, and Proverbs, this message calls parents to focus not only on what they do, but on who they are becoming as followers of Christ. 📖 Scripture References: Ephesians 6:1–4 1 Samuel 2:12–29; 3:11–13 Deuteronomy 6:5–7 2 Timothy 3:14–16 Proverbs 19:18; 14:26 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    Modern Dating | Some Assembly Required | Steven Staton

    In this message from our Some Assembly Required series, we tackle one of the most confusing and important topics in today’s culture—dating and relationships. Looking at the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24, we discover timeless biblical wisdom for building relationships God’s way instead of the world’s way. Through practical truth, humor, and honest conversation, this sermon explores what it means to pursue relationships with God’s standards, pray before pursuing, and pay attention to patterns of character instead of just potential. We are reminded that real peace in relationships comes not from following culture, but from honoring God’s design. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, married, or raising the next generation, this message will encourage and challenge you to build relationships on a strong spiritual foundation instead of emotional or physical attraction alone. Key Themes: God’s way leads to peace, the world’s way leads to confusionPursuing Jesus before pursuing relationshipsLooking for character over chemistryBecoming the right person instead of obsessing over finding “the one”Building relationships on spiritual foundationsTrusting God’s wisdom and timing in dating and marriageThe grace of God for every past mistake and broken place 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    The World Needs Godly Moms | Some Assembly Required | Corey Abney

    In this heartfelt message, we look at the powerful spiritual legacy passed down through Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice. Their genuine faith shaped a young man who would go on to impact the early church—and it reminds us of the incredible influence godly mothers and faithful parents still have today. Paul challenges Timothy to “fan into flame” the gift God placed within him, teaching us that faith must continually be stirred up and renewed. Parenting is exhausting, lifelong work filled with sacrifice, endurance, and delayed results, but God has not given us a spirit of fear. Instead, He equips us with power, love, and self-discipline. This encouraging sermon speaks to moms, parents, and anyone investing in the next generation. Through Scripture, humor, and practical truth, we are reminded that the seeds of faith we plant today can produce a harvest for eternity. Key Themes: Stirring up a growing faithFaith as the antidote to fearThe endurance and calling of parentingTrusting God with the next generationLeaving a spiritual legacy that lasts “You’re making more of a difference than you think you’re making.” 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    Marriage on Mission Part 2 | Some Assembly Required | Steven Staton

    In this message, Marriage on Mission, we continue the Some Assembly Required series by exploring God’s design for marriage and how His truth can transform even the most broken relationships. While marriage can be one of life’s greatest blessings, it can also be deeply challenging—and often the root issue isn’t just struggle, but believing lies about what marriage truly is. Drawing from Scripture, we’re reminded that while the enemy spreads deception, Jesus declares in John 8:32 that truth brings freedom. This message uncovers five common lies that can quietly damage marriages and replaces them with God’s life-giving truth. This message explores: ✔ Why marriage is not a contract, but a covenant rooted in commitment before God ✔ The truth that we can’t change our spouse—but God can transform hearts ✔ Why marriage isn’t 50/50, but a call to give 100% in love and service ✔ How small, hidden sins can grow into major разрушers if left unconfessed ✔ The hope we have in Christ, even when marriage feels broken beyond repair Through passages like Mark 10:6–9 and Ephesians 5:25, we see that God’s design for marriage reflects His covenant love—faithful, sacrificial, and enduring. When we replace lies with truth, stop striving for control, and surrender to God’s work in us, He begins to restore what feels lost. No matter how difficult things may seem, this message reminds us that there is always hope with God. Healing begins when we confess, commit, and invite Jesus to the center of our relationships. 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.

    The Cure for Loneliness | Some Assembly Required | Corey Abney

    In this message, The Cure for Loneliness, we explore how God created us for community and why meaningful friendships are essential to living the life He designed for us. In a world filled with constant connection but increasing isolation, Scripture reminds us that true belonging isn’t found in more followers or screen time—it’s found in godly relationships. Proverbs 13:20 teaches us that the people we walk with shape the direction of our lives: “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Our friendships influence our character, our choices, our faith, and even our future. This message explores: ✔ Why God created us for community and not isolation ✔ How friendships shape our direction and spiritual growth ✔ The importance of choosing wise, godly relationships ✔ Why healthy marriages are built on strong friendship ✔ How honesty, loyalty, and accountability strengthen relationships ✔ Why Jesus is the perfect example of a true friend When we build our lives on gospel-centered friendships, we find the cure for loneliness and discover the strength, encouragement, and purpose that come from walking through life together. 🕊️ Get Involved: We want you to know God, find community, and make a difference.
