In this message, Rod Loy tells the story of J.W. Tucker, an Arkansas missionary to the Congo who gave the ultimate sacrifice while working to share the love of Jesus. His legacy and its amazing repercussions are changing a troubled nation, but there is still much work to be done.

We sing love songs, we watch romantic movies, and over time culture forms our views on love - what it is, what it isn't, and how you express it. Our views on love are largely determined by our culture -- the influences around us. We were designed by God for relationship, to love and be loved. We search everywhere, looking for love. Why do we so often look in the wrong places?

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, how are you different from those around you? The Bible tells us that we are to be different from our society, but it also says that we should be "light" to our world. How can you be both? Where's the balance?

We are all familiar with courtroom dramas on movies or television. The judge is stern and intimidating. The lawyers are slick. The jury listens intently, waiting to render their decision--the verdict--guilty or not guilty.

In the courtroom of life, we don't have to wait. We get to choose the verdict.

Dads are very important to their families. They are much more than just a paycheck. They are integral to the relational and spiritual development of their families. The absence of a father is the most significant factor in the breakdown of the family in America. In this message, Rod Loy challenges fathers to be everything they should be.

Preventive maintenance is less expensive in the long run than having to fix a problem. It's always better to check your car's oil than to end up on the side of the road with a non-functioning engine!

Wouldn't the same approach to our marriages and families make sense? Why do we wait until there is a crisis to act? There are steps you can take now to prevent problems down the road. In this message, Rod Loy looks at preventive maintenance for marriages.

We all say we like change, but if you really get down to it, change makes us uncomfortable. That can be dangerous. Our comfort zones can keep us from experiencing all that God has for us and can hinder us from growing in our faith. How do you break out of a comfort zone so you can continue to grow?

If your car breaks down, you don't wait to see if it fixes itself. You take it as soon as possible to a mechanic.

Trouble in your family? It makes no sense, but we often decide that we can't tell anyone. We have to figure it out on our own.

Isn't your family more important? In this message, Rod Loy talks about what to do when you are faced with conflict in your family.

Freedom. Politicians promise it. Patriots cherish it. Soldiers fight for it.

Prisoners dream of it. What is exactly is freedom?

What does Jesus need today? What does He need most of all? He needs us. He needs us to be His hands and feet - the demonstation of His love in a desperately hurting world. His mission on this earth is going to be accomplished through you and me. That's not always what the world defines as "normal." It might even seem weird.
