Guest speaker Levi Lusko taught from the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing love always gives—you can give without loving, but you can't love without giving. As Jesus People, our financial lives reveal the true state of our hearts. The gospel naturally produces generosity in those who've received it, and God's real aim is keeping idols out of our hearts.

Levi Lusko is the pastor of Fresh Life Church, a multisite church with locations in four states and online. He is the author of several books, including Through the Eyes of a Lion, Blessed Are the Spiraling, and his recent book for tweens, Don’t Worry, Warrior! He and his wife, Jennie, cohost their podcast, Hey! It’s the Luskos. Levi and Jennie have one son, Lennox, and four daughters: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, and Lenya, who is in heaven.

Learn Your Bible: How does today’s message challenge the way you think about generosity, stewardship, and following Jesus?

Love Your Neighbor: Who in your life could be impacted by your generosity, and what is one practical way you can use your resources to serve them this week?

Live in Freedom: What is one step of faith you can take to begin giving and trust God more fully with His provision in your life?

Discomfort doesn't always mean disobedience—Ezekiel embraced a hard calling in bitterness and anger, yet he obeyed anyway. In this message, Pastor Taylor Bronisz reminds us that God often does His best work in uncomfortable places, and He wants to use you right where you are.

The apostles of Christ were common men. That’s God’s modus operandi (way of doing things). “God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful” (1 Corinthians 1:27, NLT). Here, as Jesus sends them out, we can see five stages for any of us who live to do God’s work.

I. Mission (v. 7)

II. Provision (vv. 9-10)

III. Proclamation (vv. 10, 12)

IV. Opposition (v. 11)

V. Completion (vv. 12-13)

Learn Your Bible: Search for instances of God using unexpected, common people to accomplish His will throughout the Bible.

Love Your Neighbor: Look for a small way to serve someone practically this week.

Live in Freedom: Meditate on 1 Corinthians 1:27 and surrender your need to prove yourself useful to the kingdom of God.

Scripture is the permanent expression of God’s heart to our heart in writing and as we spend time in His Word, it draws us near to Him, renews our mind, and prepares us for the day ahead. In this message, Pastor Skip Heitzig reminds us of the importance of a personal, daily devotional life.

I. What It Is

II. What It Does

III. How to Do It

Unbelief is different than doubt. Doubts come and go. They are normal and a natural part of the human experience. But unbelief is a conclusion reached by a hardened heart. It is the decision to live life apart from God. Faith and doubt can coexist in a heart, but faith and unbelief cannot.

I. Unbelief Respects His Wisdom (vv. 1-2)

II. Unbelief Recognizes His Work (v. 2)

III. Unbelief Reduces His Wonder (v. 3)

IV. Unbelief Robs of Well-Being (vv. 4-6)

Learn Your Bible: Using your favorite Bible dictionary or concordance, dive deeper into the differences between doubt and unbelief in Scripture.

Love Your Neighbor: This week, dedicate yourself to interceding for someone in your life who’s embraced unbelief.

Live in Freedom: Have an honest conversation with the Lord about the doubts or questions you’ve been working through lately.

Job wrestled with one of life’s hardest questions: Why does God seem indifferent to suffering? In this message, Pastor Skip Heitzig explains how Job found comfort in knowing that God’s judgment may not come immediately but is always inevitable. Job discovered that true wisdom is found only in the fear of the Lord—a reverential awe which produces humble submission to a loving God.
