On this week’s Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter talks about the importance of faithfulness that is only shaped over time. While our culture places importance on instant growth, 2 Peter 1 states that we have everything we need by His divine power—and growth occurs through incremental steps faithfulness.

Ecclesiastes states that life is fleeing, like a vapor. What we do with our life matters, and we have the opportunity to waste it or to invest it. We have a responsibility to be intentional with the time God has given us. Instead of spending our time chasing accolades and worldly success, He invites us to use it to sow into the eternal. In this week’s message, guest speaker Micah McElveen encourages us on ways to steward our lives here on earth.

As followers of Jesus, our identity is not defined by achievements, influence, or anything of worldly value. Above all, we are sons and daughters of God, graced with a unique purpose. We are entrusted with gifts and responsibilities, and how we respond to these reveals the condition of our hearts. In our series, Wasted Grace, Pastor Luis Guerrero uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to guide us in understanding what it means to live a life that recognizes God's grace and embraces the purpose He has given each of us.

At our ALLIN Night, Pastor Ryan Schlachter encouraged us that we are obligated as believers to continue to mature in our faith so that we don’t fall away into apostasy. Being able to eat solid, spiritual food is not achieved by becoming really intelligent but by becoming really obedient. May we be a people who walk in faithfulness to God more and more each day.

Idols can be produced when good things can become ultimate things. More often than not, they stem from a deeper desire that can only be filled by our connection with God. On this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Amy Perez breaks down idols and how they can take hold of our lives.

Grace is a gift — God’s closeness to us is pure grace. But as the parable of the Prodigal Son reveals, we can miss the fullness of it. In the parable, Jesus shows how both sons waste the grace of their father’s love, whether through rebellion or resentment. As we begin our new series, Wasted Grace, Pastor Luis Guerrero reminds us that our identity as His children remains unchanged, and we serve a God who longs to be close to us.

As much as the world talks about money, so does the Bible. Jesus serves as our guide, helping us become not only wise stewards of our finances but also generous givers, for generosity reflects the very heart of God. In concluding our series The Lowly, Pastor Ryan Schlachter emphasizes that spiritual maturity is evident in how we approach generosity toward God and others. True humility involves letting God have the final say over our finances, inviting Him into our financial decisions with open hearts.

As we grow in our walk with Jesus, our growth in Him is dependent on our personal devotion to His ways. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter shares on intentional discipleship, truth that is transfered through relationship.

In a society filled with worry and anxiety, the gospel encourages us in a different way of living. Statistics show that roughly 87% of the things we become worried or anxious about don’t actually happen, but it becomes comfortable to live in states of chaos instead of entering into mindsets of peace. Regardless of what our circumstances lay in front of us, we can think better thoughts that are based on gospel truth and clarity. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Luis Guerrero shares three ways that God becomes the answer for our anxiety.

As we set our gaze on Jesus, we naturally bear the fruits of the Spirit, and in response, live a life that reflects Him. In this week's on Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter highlights how our alignment with Christ makes our lives truly attractive.
