We begin with a foundational question: Where does our greatest loyalty belong—the nation or the Kingdom of God?

In “Nation vs. Kingdom,” we look at the role of government, the Church’s relationship with political power, and Jesus’ teaching that His Kingdom is greater than any earthly nation. In a culture marked by division and political polarization, followers of Jesus are called to something higher: to proclaim the Gospel, live as citizens of God’s Kingdom, and point people toward the hope found in Christ.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this final message of the Taking the High Ground series, we look at Jesus’ teaching on genuine discipleship. Following Him means living with humility, trusting God, treating others the way Jesus taught, and choosing obedience even when the path is difficult. It’s not enough to simply hear His words—we’re called to build our lives on them.

In this message, we look at Matthew 6 and what Jesus says about truly honoring God. Through prayer, fasting, generosity, trust, and seeking His Kingdom first, Jesus calls us to honor God with more than just our words—He wants our whole lives.

Chapters:

In Part 2 of our Taking the High Ground series, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount and look at what Jesus says about treating others. Jesus calls us to a higher standard—one marked by forgiveness, integrity, generosity, love, and doing what is right even when no one is watching. We can’t live this way in our own strength, but as we draw closer to Jesus, He transforms our hearts and helps us become more like Him.

Today we’re beginning a brand-new preaching series called “Taking the High Ground,” a journey through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5–7. In Part 1, “What Jesus Says About Attitudes,” we look at Matthew 5:1–16 and discover what Jesus teaches His disciples about the attitudes and actions that should define our lives.

Through the Beatitudes, Jesus shows us that true blessing and fulfillment are not determined by our circumstances, but by the posture of our hearts. We are called to be poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and people who remain faithful even when facing opposition.

Today we will be talking about “The Good Shepherd,” we will explore the powerful connection between Psalm 23 and John 10, where Jesus declares, “I am the good shepherd.” Jesus knows His sheep, speaks to them, leads them, protects them, and willingly sacrifices His life for them.

But sheep also have a responsibility. We must learn to recognize His voice, filter out the noise around us, follow where He leads, flee from anything that does not reflect His character, and rest in His protection. Jesus has already done His part—our response is to listen, follow, trust, and allow Him to rescue and restore us.

Even when the path leads through the darkest valley, we do not have to be afraid. Our Good Shepherd is close beside us, guiding, protecting, comforting, and faithfully leading us home.

Thank you for joining us online! In the final message of our Christian Geniuses series, we examine what the Book of Proverbs teaches about righteousness and justice.

Our culture has many ideas about how to create a more just society, but Scripture teaches that lasting justice begins with personal righteousness. Before we can change our communities, we must first allow God to transform our hearts through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

In this message, we explore how righteousness and justice should influence our integrity, our words, our business practices, the way we help those in need, and the way we lead. When believers live with humility, honesty, generosity, and moral courage, they can make a meaningful difference in their homes and communities.

Today we're continuing our preaching series, "Christian Geniuses," with a message titled "The Power of Words."

The book of Proverbs reminds us that our words are never neutral. They have the power to bring life or death, build up or tear down, heal or wound. In a culture where careless speech, gossip, dishonesty, and harsh words have become commonplace, God calls His people to speak differently.

In this message, we'll explore how our words reveal the condition of our hearts, reflect our relationship with God, and shape the quality of our relationships. Through the wisdom of Proverbs, we'll discover why self-control, truthfulness, encouragement, and godly instruction are essential marks of Christian maturity.

Today we're continuing our preaching series, "Christian Geniuses," with Part 3: "Disciplined Lives & Rewarding Work." In this sermon, we turn to the Book of Proverbs to discover how God's wisdom shapes every area of our lives—from our relationships and families to our careers and daily habits.

The Book of Proverbs reminds us that discipline is not about restriction but about living the life God designed for us. We'll explore how embracing God's correction produces healthier marriages, stronger families, rewarding work, and a lifelong pursuit of wisdom. We'll also see why diligence leads to growth, how laziness robs us of God's best, and what it looks like to faithfully honor Christ in both our homes and our workplaces.

Join us as we learn how living a disciplined life according to God's Word leads to deeper relationships, meaningful work, and the lasting joy that comes from walking in His wisdom.

Our culture often claims that faith and intellect are incompatible, but is that really true? Looking at Proverbs alongside historical evidence, we'll see how Christianity has shaped education, medicine, science, human rights, and society itself. More importantly, we'll discover that wisdom is not measured by IQ, but by the choices we make and our relationship with God.
