Sound speech isn't about being loud, clever, or emotional - it's about being healthy, steady, and aligned with God's truth. The real issue isn't whether people understand your vocabulary, but whether your life matches what you're saying. Paul addresses faith before speech in Titus because whatever you truly believe will eventually show up in your words and actions. Speech is the fruit, but faith is the root. The most condemnable speech in Scripture isn't heresy but hypocrisy - pretending you didn't stumble instead of being authentic about your struggles. God isn't looking for perfect pitch, but He is asking for a willingness to be tuned and aligned with His truth.

What if the most radical thing a Christian could be in today's world is... ordinary? In a culture marked by moral confusion, outrage fatigue, and the endless pursuit of self-fulfillment, the Apostle Paul offers an unexpected vision for transformation—not through loud rebellion, but through shockingly normal lives of integrity, faithfulness, and peace. In this opening message of our series through the book of Titus, we discover how a small group of committed Christians in 18th-century England changed history not by protesting in the streets, but by living differently in their homes. Paul's letter to Titus reveals the same wisdom for the chaotic culture of ancient Crete—and for ours today. Join us as we explore how the high call of a decent life becomes the most powerful witness in a world that has lost its way, and how this vision is ultimately grounded not in self-improvement, but in the hope of eternal life promised through Jesus Christ.

In our noisy, distraction-filled world, hearing God's voice requires intentional effort to tune out interference and tune into His frequency. Just like adjusting an old radio to find a clear signal, we must remove spiritual static through practices like fasting, prayer, and limiting media consumption. Staying close to God through regular Bible reading and prayer ensures we receive His clear communication rather than competing worldly voices. Active listening involves journaling what we sense God saying, repeating back our understanding in prayer, and testing everything against Scripture. God wants to speak into every area of our lives, but we must create intentional space to hear Him above the noise.

Are you waiting for your circumstances to change before you can find peace? In this powerful message, "Who’s in the Room," Brooke explores the truth that our greatest breakthroughs don’t come from a change in our geography, but from an increase in our proximity to God. Drawing from the "Hosting Heaven in Wild Places" series, we dive into Acts 1 and the story of Lot’s wife to discover how unity and internal posture determine the measure of God’s power in our lives. Whether you are feeling isolated, wrestling with division, or stuck in a "waiting room" season, this message is a timely reminder that the Holy Spirit is activated where there is unity. Join us as we learn to stop looking back at what is familiar and start leaning into the "Who" that is in the room with us.

Angels are powerful, orderly beings on divine assignments who often work through ordinary people in unexpected moments. Our messy, chaotic circumstances don't repel heaven - they actually invite angelic intervention. The biggest barrier to recognizing these encounters is spiritual noise from fear, busyness, and cultural distractions that shrink our awareness. Angels operate through divine protection, helping us fulfill God's assignments, providing strength during exhaustion, and responding to our hospitality and openness. Children have guardian angels specifically assigned to watch over them and intercede before God's throne.

The Garden of Eden wasn't just a beautiful garden but functioned as God's first temple, where heaven and earth overlapped. Adam and Eve served as the first priests, called to attend, protect, and expand this sacred space. When sin entered, it corrupted not just humanity but the very space itself, making it unsuitable for God's dwelling presence. Through Jesus, who serves as the ultimate high priest, God makes our lives and world suitable again for His presence. We are called to live as priests today, attending to our spaces and relationships while expanding God's kingdom presence in our workplaces, families, and communities.

00:00 Welcome and Introduction

The Christmas season often portrays an image of perfect joy - families gathering harmoniously, gifts exchanged with delight, and hearts filled with happiness. But reality frequently falls short of this holiday card ideal. What happens when we face struggles, empty chairs at family tables, or overwhelming circumstances during what's supposed to be the most joyful time of year?When angels first announced the birth of Jesus, they didn't choose religious leaders or wealthy merchants to receive the news. Instead, they appeared to ordinary shepherds - hardworking people living in fields with their sheep, dealing with everyday struggles and uncertainties. The world they lived in was far from peaceful. The Jewish people had endured centuries of foreign domination, crushing taxation, military occupation, and 400 years of prophetic silence. Yet into this darkness and chaos, heaven announced great joy. This reveals a fundamental truth: biblical joy is never dependent on perfect conditions or the absence of difficulty.True joy comes from our connection with Christ, as Jesus explained when He said that His joy could be in us, making our joy complete. This joy flows naturally from our relationship with God, like fruit growing on a healthy branch connected to a vine. Even when storms come and circumstances become difficult, if we remain connected to the source, joy continues to emerge. The Bible presents a beautiful paradox - joy and suffering can coexist. Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him, and the joy of the Lord becomes our strength in every season. Rather than trying to manufacture happiness or chase after temporary pleasures, we can receive the lasting joy that comes from recognizing who Jesus is and maintaining our connection with Him through relationship.

What if God isn’t a careful, calculating farmer who only plants where success is guaranteed—but a wildly generous “Mad Farmer” who scatters priceless seed everywhere, even on hardened paths, rocky patches, and thorn-choked ground? In Matthew 13:1-9, Jesus paints a shocking picture of the Kingdom: a Sower who refuses to hold back, who keeps sowing season after season because He believes every heart—no matter how resistant today—can still become fruitful tomorrow. And the ultimate surprise? This Mad Farmer doesn’t just throw seed; He becomes the Seed, falling into the worst soil of all (the cross) so that a harvest of life can rise from death. Join us for “God: The Mad Farmer” and discover the extravagant, persistent, almost unreasonable love of God that keeps coming back to your mixed-up heart with open hands.
