In today's episode, we challenge our cozy Christmas assumptions. While we often picture baby Jesus in a manger, what happens when we confront Him as Judge?

Through examining Jesus' confrontation with religious leaders in John 9, we discover a profound paradox: He came not to condemn, yet judgment follows in His wake. For those claiming spiritual insight while rejecting Him, His presence becomes an indictment. For those acknowledging their blindness, He offers sight.

We'll explore why a world crying out for justice needs more than just another teacher or moral example—it needs a just Judge who can both expose our darkness and lead us into light. Join us as we unwrap this unexpected Christmas gift: Jesus came to judge, that the blind might see.

Pastor Heath interviews Richard and Tina Lucas

Pastor Heath preaches about the sin of covetousness.

In today's episode, we explore how "You shall not bear false witness" speaks to a world drowning in deception. From fake news to conspiracy theories, from white lies to malicious gossip, how has dishonesty corroded the very fabric of our society?

We'll confront the cultural myth that some lies are harmless, uncovering why even "protective" deception contradicts God's nature.

We'll explore why Jesus didn't just teach the truth but claimed to be Truth incarnate, and how this transforms both our eternal destiny and daily interactions. Join us as we learn why telling the truth isn't just about integrity—it's about reflecting the character of God Himself.

In today's episode, we explore a commandment that seems straightforward at first glance: "You shall not steal." But beyond obvious theft, what unexpected ways might we be taking what isn't ours?

Examining alarming statistics and cultural shifts, we uncover how this command isn't just about married people being faithful—it's about God's design for human sexuality itself. From singles to married couples, from our screens to our hearts, we explore the many ways we've normalized what God calls sin.

We'll discover why marital faithfulness isn't a restriction but a fountain of blessing and why we need Jesus to both open our eyes and transform our desires. Join us as we learn how God's boundaries lead to freedom, not bondage.

We'll provide practical guidance for evaluating candidates through a biblical lens while acknowledging the complex realities of modern politics. Join us as we learn to vote not just as citizens of earth but as citizens of heaven.

In today's episode, we tackle one of God's most fundamental commands against the backdrop of a tragic headline: the death of Amber Thurman. What does "You shall not murder" mean in a culture that increasingly devalues human life?

Through Jesus' teaching, we discover how this command goes deeper than just the physical act of murder—it reaches into our hearts to address the roots of anger and arrogance. From suicide to euthanasia, we explore how various modern practices challenge our understanding of this command.

We'll examine four concrete ways to obey this commandment in today's world, addressing everything from our personal attitudes to our public responsibilities. Join us as we learn why every human life bears God's image and demands our protection.
