    The Love that Controls 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

    What controls you? The Apostle Paul says it is the love of Christ. This message was delivered at The Blue Ridge Navigators Winter Conference in February of 2026. What controls you? How do we know that Christ loves us? What does it mean that we have died with Christ? 2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (ESV) 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

    Lay Aside Every Weight: Sexual Integrity for Christians (Hebrews 12:1–2)

    Hebrews 12:1–2 calls men to ‘lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely’ and to run the race set before us with our eyes fixed on Jesus. In this message, we apply that call specifically to men’s sexual integrity in a hyper‑sexualized world, looking at how to throw off hidden compromises, walk in confession and community, and pursue holiness by grace, not shame. Whether you’re battling pornography, lust, or past sexual failure, this teaching invites you to run the race with endurance, repent where needed, and find hope in the One who endured the cross for you.Hiding does not lead to healing. Are there areas of hidden sin that you have fallen into, that you need to bring into the light?
