How do you respond when someone hurts, betrays, disrespects, or refuses to forgive you? The answer is rarely simple, but Pastor Rich reminds us that these are gospel questions—moments that reveal how deeply the grace of Jesus is shaping the way we live.

In the final week of Transformed, Rich teaches from Romans 12:14-21 and calls us to bless instead of curse, pursue peace where possible, release revenge, and overcome evil with good. None of that means denying the harm or remaining in an unsafe situation. Instead, Rich shows how wise boundaries and tangible acts of goodness can keep hurt from having the final word through us.

What does it really mean to live well—especially when life is busy, difficult, or draining?

In Week 4 of Transformed, Pastor Josh teaches from Romans 12:11-13 and shows that living well is not the same as living a perfect life. It means serving God wholeheartedly without faking enthusiasm, remaining patient and prayerful when trouble comes, and keeping our lives open to the needs of people around us.

If you want your faith to shape the way you meet pressure, pain, people, and everyday responsibilities, this message offers a clear and hopeful next step.

This message explores empathy, prayer, blessing, doing good, and forgiveness—not as ways to deny pain, but as ways to let God transform our hearts. If you are carrying offense, struggling with bitterness, or wondering how to respond to someone who has hurt you, this message offers guidance and practical next step.

Romans 12 teaches that spiritual transformation begins with surrender. In this message, Pastor Rich walks through what it means to offer your life as a living sacrifice, refuse the pattern of the world, and let God renew your mind.

Rich also connects this passage to strongholds in our thinking and the practice of taking thoughts captive. If you are wrestling with anxiety, control, fear about the future, or recurring thought patterns that keep shaping your life, this message will help you move toward surrender and trust in Jesus.

Many of us have learned to live behind masks, agreements, and labels that were formed in pain. In this message, Pastor Chris shows how the enemy uses wounds to shape identity, how Jesus restores us without shame, and how the Father invites us to receive what is truer about us in Christ.

Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus?

In Week 5 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich closes the series by teaching from Colossians 4 and reminding us that everything is spiritual, including the words we speak, text, post, pray, and use in difficult conversations.

This message explores four ways our words can point people to Jesus: pray with your words because they connect you to God, engage with your words because they build bridges to outsiders, encourage with your words because they strengthen others, and honor with your words because they deepen relationships.

What does it look like to honor Jesus in marriage, parenting, & work?

In Week 4 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich teaches from Colossians 3:18-4:1, a passage that can feel uncomfortable in our culture. Rather than fast forwarding through difficult Scripture, this message invites us to ask what faithful obedience looks like in the roles God has given us.

Rich walks through biblical submission, sacrificial love, parenting with a shepherd's heart, work as unto the Lord, and authority as stewardship under Christ. The message also makes an important pastoral distinction: Scripture is never permission for abuse, manipulation, or cruelty.

How do you make Jesus your priority when life is full of competing voices, habits, desires, and distractions?

Rich Greene continues the Jesus + Nothing series with a message from Colossians 3. Paul moves from belief to behavior: since we have been raised to new life with Christ, we set our hearts on things above, put to death what belongs to the old life, and put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love.

This message will help you examine what your life is communicating. If someone looked at your calendar, finances, phone, family, friendships, and daily choices, would they see Jesus as your priority or something else?
