September 24, 2025 | Chris Pepper emphasizes that gossip is a destructive force that damages lives and relationships, while forgiveness is a healing act that reflects the heart of the Gospel.

September 17, 2025 | Steve Spence contrasts the seed of lust with the seed of godliness, showing how sexual sin grows through passivity and cultural influence, while purity comes through devotion and obedience to God. True freedom is found not in avoiding sin alone, but in being filled with Christ.

September 10, 2025 | Steve Spence discusses how anxiety grows when we try to control what we can't and isolate ourselves in comparison. Anxiety is rooted in fear and lack of trust in God. But salvation in Jesus offers true peace, and is planted in hope and nurtured by surrender and repentance. Real peace comes not from control, but from knowing Jesus and trusting Him fully.

September 3, 2025 | For week one of the "Seeded" series, Steve Spence walks through the contrast of rebellion versus repentance. Rebellion grows from pride and apathy when we reject God’s authority, like Israel did. Repentance, however, is rooted in humility and leads us back to God. True repentance uproots sin and allows God to plant obedience and spiritual growth in its place.

June 4, 2025 | Teaching from Proverbs 14, Steve Spence talks about how following God’s way leads to a better, more meaningful life.

When we build on God, we stand strong no matter what comes.

April 30, 2025 | Sophomores ,James Dickerson and Grace Conley, share about what it means to have a clean heart and to be restored by God.

James shares from Psalm 51:1–11 about how God’s mercy is greater than our mess. When we stop hiding, own our sin, and ask for a new heart, God can completely restore us. True repentance leads to real change, and God’s presence is the greatest treasure we can have.

Grace shares from Psalm 51:12–19 about how God restores our joy, purpose, and hearts when we come to Him in repentance. Like David, we can bring our brokenness to God—and He will faithfully restore us.

April 23, 2025 | Samson’s story shows how a life chosen by God can rise with power but fall through compromise.

Are you living set apart for God—or compromising your calling?
