Pastor Wayne Francis teaches us that there is a difference between simply being a Christian and being a disciple of Christ. Through the parable of the banquet, we are reminded that the cost of discipleship will always be worth it.

Pastor Shawn challenges us to examine the spiritual condition of our hearts and how we respond when God’s Word takes root in our lives. The seed never changes; the question is whether our hearts are hardened, shallow, crowded, or ready to receive the Word and produce lasting fruit.

When God’s promises seem broken, the story of the Shunammite woman reminds us to bring those promises back to God, internalize His shalom, and trust Him even when circumstances appear contradictory. Reverend Dr. Nicole Massie Martin reminds us that what may look like a broken promise today can ultimately be revealed as part of God’s greater plan and fulfilled promise.

What does it really look like to build a Christ-centered home? Pastor Shawn McGill unpacks Colossians 3:18-25, challenging us to replace control with mutual submission, harshness with Christlike love, and frustration with wholehearted service, reminding us that everything we do is ultimately for Jesus.

Our lives as believers were never meant to be compartmentalized, but all too often we find ourselves closing off certain areas to God. Pastor Shawn teaches us that when we invite God into every part of our lives, we can break free from the struggle of control.

You can leave the old life behind and still find yourself reaching for old ways of living. Culpeper Campus Pastor Aaron Judkins walks through Colossians 3:10–14 using the picture of the closet, the mirror, and the clothes to show us how Jesus shapes who we are and how we can live the Jesus Way.

Because we have been raised to new life with Christ, the patterns of our old life no longer have to rule us. Pastor Shawn McGill highlights the call in Colossians 3 to put sin to death and shares three practical ways to confront it: expose it, starve it, and ask the Holy Spirit for help.

If you've just made the decision for Christ, we want to celebrate with you! Let us know here!

A lie does not have to be obvious to pull us away from the truth. Sometimes, it only needs to distort what God said by one degree. Dr. Donna Pisani shows us how to recognize those lies and answer them with the settled truth of God’s Word. When the enemy asks, “Did God really say?” we can respond like Jesus: “It is written.”

Life is full of “what ifs,” but Psalm 23 gives us a “surely.” Pastor Shawn reminds us that even when we do not know what the future holds, we can trust the Shepherd who leads us.

In the valleys of life, it’s natural to have questions about how long the struggle will last, whether we have the strength to make it through, and whether we are truly alone. Pastor Shawn uses Psalm 23 to remind us that the Shepherd is always with us, and even in the darkest shadows, His presence and light remain.
