Why do we read the Bible—and how does it actually change our lives?

In this message from our Do You Believe series, Pastor Lawson walks through why God’s Word matters, how it shapes our faith, and what happens when Scripture moves from head knowledge to heart transformation.

From powerful personal stories to clear biblical teaching, this message reminds us that the Bible isn’t just a book to know—it’s a living, active Word that convicts, empowers, guides, and centers us on Jesus.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• 2 Timothy 3:16–17

• Nehemiah 8

• Acts 17

• Joshua 1:8

• Psalm 119:105

• Hebrews 4:12

🙌 Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or feeling distant from God, this message is an invitation to dig deeper and rediscover the foundation of your faith.

What do you believe about money?

Money isn’t good or bad, but it does reveal what’s in our hearts. In this message from the Do You Believe? series, we look at what Jesus and Scripture actually teach about money, stewardship, and trust in God.

Jesus was clear: we can’t serve both God and money. So how do we live as slaves of righteousness instead of letting money control our decisions, our anxiety, or our future?

In this message, you’ll hear about:

Why money is neutral, but powerful.

Three common mindsets around money.

How fear, pride, and trust shape our finances.

What it means to live open-handed before God.

Why seeking God’s Kingdom first changes everything.

This isn’t a message about pressure or guilt, it’s about freedom, obedience, and trusting God as our provider.

Why do we spend so much time judging other Christians over things God never commanded?

In Romans 14, the Apostle Paul speaks directly to a problem that still exists in the church today — believers acting like they’re the master instead of Jesus. We argue over opinions, preferences, traditions, and personal freedoms, while missing what it actually means to live as slaves of righteousness.

In this message, Pastor Dean challenges us to stop playing God in other people’s lives and start focusing on obedience, humility, and love. This isn’t about ignoring sin — it’s about recognizing the difference between God’s commands and our opinions.

If Jesus is truly your Master, then judgment isn’t your job.

Your words matter more than you think.

In this message, we’re reminded that the Bible isn’t just something we read — it’s our playbook. And when we start calling our own plays, it doesn’t just affect us… it affects the whole team.

Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 12 that what comes out of our mouth comes from our heart. So if our words look more like the world than the Kingdom, it’s time to stop, repent, and realign.

This message calls us to stop making excuses, stop quenching the Spirit, and start living as slaves of righteousness — using our words to build others up and advance the Kingdom of God.

Do you really believe the Bible is true—and if so, is it shaping how you live?

In this message from our Do You Believe? series, we walk through Romans 1–6 to answer a foundational question: Who is your master—sin or Jesus?

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that grace doesn’t give us permission to keep sinning; grace changes masters. Through Christ, we are set free from sin, not free in sin.

This message challenges us to examine our lives honestly, confront the sins that try to rule us, and discover what it truly means to be slaves of righteousness.
