In a world that glorifies busyness, how do we make space for what truly matters? Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7 and a key principle in Ecclesiastes 4:6, Pastor Dorrell discusses the spiritual danger of an over-cluttered life. He explains that our constant hurry, endless responsibilities, and accumulation of things—even good things—can prevent us from hearing God’s voice and experiencing His peace. This message offers a practical challenge to choose "a handful with quietness" over a life full of "travail and vexation of spirit," freeing ourselves from distraction to better attend upon the Lord and find true spiritual rest.

In this message, Pastor Daniel explores the profound choice presented in Proverbs 4 between the two paths available in life. Using Solomon's urgent instruction to his son as a guide, he illustrates the critical difference between the path of the just—which shines brighter over time like a rising dawn—and the path of the wicked, a deceptive road that descends into darkness and causes one to stumble. This sermon serves as a powerful call to self-reflection, urging us to consider which direction our decisions and attitudes are taking us. It is a challenge to consciously choose the way of wisdom, hold fast to it, and avoid the subtle but powerful pull toward a life of folly and regret.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor Dorrell addresses the common feeling that we could serve God better if only our circumstances were different. Drawing from Paul’s instruction to the Corinthian church, this sermon challenges the idea that we need a new job, a different marital status, or a change of location to be effective for Christ. Instead, we are called to view our current life as a divine assignment. Discover how your workplace, neighborhood, and family are the unique and consequential mission field God has given you, and learn to embrace the purpose you can fulfill right where you are, today.

Life can often feel overwhelming, with daily pressures and major decisions causing stress and anxiety. Using the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark chapter 4, Jason Cohan explores a powerful alternative to fear. He presents three foundational truths to anchor our faith when we feel we might perish: God has a specific plan for our lives, He always cares for our best interest, and He maintains absolute control over every storm we face. This message challenges us to exchange our worry for a profound peace that comes from trusting in the sovereignty of the one whom even the winds and the sea obey.

Kicking off a new series in Proverbs chapter 4, Pastor Daniel examines why wisdom is called "the principal thing." He defines true wisdom not as worldly knowledge, but as a spiritual understanding that sees life from an eternal perspective, making it far more valuable than wealth, power, or success. Highlighting the critical responsibility of passing this treasure from one generation to the next, Pastor Daniel challenges listeners to actively and intentionally pursue wisdom at all costs. This message explores the lifelong cycle of getting and giving wisdom, showing how this singular pursuit guards, promotes, and enriches every aspect of our lives.

Pastor Dorrell examines the challenging and sensitive topic of marriage, divorce, and remarriage by navigating through key passages in the New and Old Testaments. He explains God's original intent for marriage as a sacred, lifelong covenant, while also addressing the difficult exceptions of infidelity and abandonment that arise from the "hardness of heart." Ultimately, this message calls believers to honor the sanctity of their current marriage, offers hope and redemption for those who have experienced the tragedy of divorce, and encourages all to reflect Christ's restorative love within their most intimate relationship.

In this challenging conclusion to our series in the Book of Judges, Pastor Dorrell examines the horrific and shocking narrative of chapters 19-21. This single, brutal story of a Levite, his concubine, and a subsequent civil war serves as a graphic illustration of what happens when a nation has no king and, as the text says, "every man did that which was right in his own eyes." This message unpacks how this ancient account exposes the devastating consequences of moral relativism, drawing a direct parallel to our modern culture that prizes personal truth over absolute standards. It is a vital warning about what happens when human solutions are applied to spiritual problems and a powerful call to anchor our lives in the unchanging truth of God's Word.

We all care what other people think about us, but what if our primary concern was what God thinks—specifically, about our words and our innermost thoughts? In this message, Pastor John examines the powerful prayer found in Psalm 19:14, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight." He explores the unbreakable link between our inner life and our outward expression, challenging us to identify the things that compete with God for first place in our hearts. This sermon serves as a practical guide to aligning our focus, taming our tongue, and living a fully integrated life that is pleasing to God by depending on Him as our ultimate strength and redeemer.

Following up on the discussion of immorality in the culture, Pastor Dorrell turns to 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 to address the sanctity and potential pitfalls within marriage. He unpacks the Apostle Paul’s direct instructions regarding physical intimacy, explaining that it is a God-given gift meant exclusively for the marital covenant. This sermon confronts the common but unbiblical extremes of either worldly indulgence or a rigid, joyless abstinence. Pastor Dorrell challenges married couples to see intimacy not as a weapon or bargaining chip, but as a mutual, joyful responsibility and a selfless gift that protects the union from temptation and strengthens the bond of becoming "one flesh" in a way that honors God's design.

The story of Micah and the tribe of Dan in Judges 17-18 illustrates a dark period in Israel's history where "every man did that which is right in his own eyes." Pastor Dorrell examines this sobering narrative of stolen silver, household idols, and a priest-for-hire to reveal the profound dangers of a faith based on personal convenience. This message challenges us to consider our own motives, asking whether our spiritual lives are truly guided by the authority of Scripture or if we have created a customized Christianity that suits our personal preferences.
