Ever wonder why a good God would let bad things happen? In this message, Jesse tackles this question head-on, sharing insights from Romans 8 and real-life examples of faith through adversity. We’ve all faced moments of pain, loss, or brokenness where trusting Jesus feels almost impossible. But what if God is using these trials to grow our faith? Join us as Jesse dives deep into what it truly means to rest in Jesus, not by avoiding struggles, but by letting Him transform us through them. This message is for anyone wrestling with life’s hardest questions.

How can trusting Jesus change your life from the inside out? This week, we dive into the second pillar of faith at Flatirons: Trusting Jesus. Building on knowing God through His Word, we discover why trusting Jesus isn’t just a one-time decision but a daily journey that reshapes everything—especially when life feels uncertain. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will help you articulate why you believe and find hope in Christ’s unwavering promise. Ready to build your life on a rock-solid foundation?

What happens when your values drift from what's most important? In part two of Know God Through His Word, we explore how our values shape every part of our lives—our choices, relationships, and even our politics. When we drift from God’s truth, we often replace it with lies that lead to pain and confusion. The Bible isn’t just a guide for private beliefs; it’s the foundation for how we live publicly. Are you ready to let God's Word lead, even when it's tough?

What's the most important thing that drives your life? In this message, Jim unpacks the foundational values that shape everything we do as individuals and as a church. He emphasizes that while many things may seem important, not all carry equal weight. Through the lens of Romans, we explore how knowing God through His Word is the first pillar—an essential truth that informs every part of our lives. It’s not about rules; it’s about a relationship, a life built on values that will still stand when the storms come.

Can your biggest struggles be the key to true freedom? Dr. Crawford Lorritz dives deep into the transformative power of forgiveness, drawing lessons from the lives of Moses and Paul. He explains how facing our brokenness isn't just about pain—it's the pathway to deliverance and a richer connection with God. Learn why embracing your flaws can lead you to genuine healing and how letting go of past hurts can set you free. Ready to discover the true power behind forgiveness?

Do you feel the pressure to get parenting "right"? Let's be honest—none of us truly know what we’re doing, and that's okay. This talk dives deep into the difference between being an owner versus an ambassador in our kids' lives. Are we trying to control everything, or are we stewarding what’s ultimately God’s? We explore the Shema and how it impacts our approach to parenting—our call to model faith, not perfection. The goal isn’t perfect kids; it’s raising followers of Jesus by showing them what true faith looks like through both our successes and our stumbles.

s your marriage a tug of war, or are you on the same team? In this message, we explore how tension in marriage isn’t a sign that something’s wrong but rather a healthy design by God. Drawing from Genesis 2 and practical life examples, this talk dives into how couples can shift from competing against each other to working together. By moving from selfishness to selflessness, we can build marriages rooted in grace, complementing differences and calling each other to higher standards. Ready to fight together, not against each other?

Is being single pointless? In this message, Flatirons kicks off a new series called No Strings Attached, focusing on the challenges of relationships, starting with singleness. Often, those who don't want to be single feel loneliness, frustration, or even inadequacy. But the heart of the message is that God never creates seasons without purpose. Singleness, as Paul highlights in 1 Corinthians 7, is actually a gift—an opportunity for undivided devotion to God and time to serve others. The real challenge isn't finding someone to marry but using this season to live with purpose and meaning.
