Your faith isn't supposed to rest on how faithful you are to God — it's supposed to rest on how faithful he is to you. Pastor Jud closes out 1 Corinthians 10:12–13 with the promise in verse 13: God won't let you be tempted beyond your ability, and he always provides a way of escape. Part two of a two-week look at these two verses.

When you think you've finally got this thing beat, that's exactly when you're most at risk. Pastor Jud opens 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 to show why cutting sin off at the surface never works — and walks through the two gaps that actually change us: the pause between temptation and sin, and the confession between sin and death. Part one of a two-week look at these two verses.

What do you do when the walls are closing in?

Jud Jordan takes us to Acts 4:23-31 (ESV) — the story of a threatened, persecuted church that didn't pray for safety. They prayed for boldness.

Ever feel spiritually... flat? Like God feels far away, even when you're doing "all the right things"?

Jud Jordan is digging into Psalm 42 — the psalmist's own honest wrestling with feeling spiritually depressed, and what to do when your soul feels dry. If you've ever needed permission to be honest about where you're at with God, this one's for you.

Psalm 40:1-3 - Stuck in a pit you can't climb out of on your own? You're not alone down there.

Jud Jordan opens up Psalm 40:1–3 — what to do when troubles pile up, the ground feels like mud, and you don't know the way out. The good news? The same God who hears also lifts.

1 Corinthians 9:3-19 - What if you don't owe what you think you owe? This Sunday, Jud Jordan reminded us of something the world struggles to believe: the gospel is free. We carry a quiet debt — "He did this for me, so now I owe Him." But grace isn't a transaction. It's a gift. Stop fighting it. Trust that because of what He did, you're saved. Your grace truly is… free.

1 Corinthians 8:4-13 - In this message, Jud Jordan teaches from 1 Corinthians 8:4–13, where Paul flips the question from "What am I allowed to do?" to "What's best for the person next to me?" Real maturity, he says, puts love over being right.
