Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares that Christ’s grace makes us generous, and for believers, tithing is a faithful starting point. Practically, tithing trains us to put God first, trust Him as our source, grow in faith, connect our money to kingdom impact, and store up treasure in heaven.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares God’s answer to money isn’t poverty, it’s contentment in Christ. Money tempts us into the “more,” “worry,” and “loss” traps, but Scripture calls us to diligent, righteous living and a faithful approach to provision. True contentment can’t be earned by being rich or poor; it’s found in Christ.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares that greed deceives us into believing life is found in riches. But greed actually springs from discontentment and produces entitlement, covetousness, selfishness, and a false sense of eternal security. True wealth is being rich toward God and treasuring Christ above all and using our earthly resources to show how deeply we value Him.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares how money is a matter of worship because it reveals who or what we truly serve, shaping both what we love and who we obey. Jesus calls us to replace a horizontal love of money with a vertical love for Christ, viewing all we have as a gift from God to be used as a tool for Kingdom impact.

Pastor Wilson Green encourages us that because Jesus is the Son of God and our great High Priest, we can draw near to God in prayer with confidence, freedom, and honesty. We can pray effectively because Jesus went before us, honestly because He understands and sympathizes with our weakness and temptation, and boldly because He will give mercy and grace when we need it.

Jeremiah Canfield encourages us to consider our view of King Jesus. In his message on Joshua, he examines what a true heart toward Christ looks like and ultimately, asks the question: Are you fully surrendered to King Jesus?

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in Matthew 2:1-12 shows us how the visit of the wise men reveals Jesus as the true King of the nations by drawing people from afar, exposing hearts, fulfilling prophecy, and even threatening worldly, godless power while still a baby. Their costly, joyful worship confronts us with a choice: the King who humbled Himself to become a child is worthy not just of our attention, but of our whole-hearted worship and entire lives.

Pastor Tyler Downing in Matthew 1:18-25 invites us to honor the Lord by faithfully embracing the specific life He’s ordained for us, using Joseph as an example of compassionate justice, obedient faith, and humble recognition of his own need for a Savior as he names the child “Jesus.” He ties Joseph’s story to our own deep longings, echoing C.S. Lewis’ insight that desires this world can’t satisfy point us to the reality that we were made for another world, and ultimately for Christ Himself.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in Luke 1:26-38 shares how God uses humble, surrendered people like Mary to carry out His extraordinary plan of salvation. We see that God is the One who initiates salvation, chooses the humble, equips by His grace, and accomplishes the impossible. In response, true faith humbly surrenders to what God says and trusts Him to do what only He can do.

Pastor Brent Thomas in Luke 1:5-25 shares that God is absolutely faithful to fulfill His promises no matter how long it’s been, how unlikely the circumstances, or how much we’ve struggled with doubt.

In the story of Zechariah, the angel announces clear, specific promises about John that reveal God’s gracious plan to bring joy, salvation, and fulfillment of His Word. Our response can either posture us to rejoice in those promises or to stumble through them, but it never changes God’s commitment to do what He has said.
