Forgiveness can be difficult, especially when the hurt is deep, trust has been broken, or the person who hurt us hasn't changed.

In this message from Light in the Darkness, Pastor Matt explores what Jesus teaches about forgiveness and how we can begin practicing it in everyday conflict, unresolved relationships, and even our deepest hurts.

Forgiveness doesn't make what happened okay, and it doesn't always mean reconciliation or restored trust. But it can free us from allowing someone else's actions to continue controlling our hearts

.

We forgive because we've been forgiven—and sometimes that means choosing forgiveness again and again.

We often think about God's will in terms of the big decisions: Where should I go? What should I do? What's next for my life?

But 1 Thessalonians gives us something we can begin practicing right now: rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances. Pasted text

In this message from Light in the Darkness, Pastor Mike explores what those instructions look like in real life—especially when life isn't fair, we don't feel joyful, prayer is difficult, or our circumstances aren't what we hoped they would be.

God's will isn't only about discovering what's next. It's also about how we live faithfully right where we are

When anxiety starts taking up more and more space in our lives, our first thought is usually, I just want some peace.

But Philippians 4 starts somewhere unexpected: “Rejoice in the Lord always.”

In this message from Light in the Darkness, we look at what it means to intentionally practice joy instead of simply waiting to feel joyful.

Through prayer, gratitude, focusing our minds on what is good, spending meaningful time with people, and intentionally rejoicing in the Lord, Scripture gives us practical ways to redirect our attention when anxiety and worry begin taking over.

Maybe you didn't lose your joy.

Maybe it's time to start practicing it again.

Five years later, what did we actually learn from the COVID years?

In this message, Pastor Mike looks back at a season that brought fear, isolation, division, and significant change

not to stay stuck in the past, but to examine what it taught us about ourselves, our faith, and the Church.

Using Lamentations 3:40 as the foundation, we’re challenged to examine our hearts, let go of lingering resentment, remember what we can truly depend on, and recognize how deeply we need God, the Church, and one another.

The question isn’t just “What happened?”

It’s “What did we learn, and how will it change the way we move forward?”

Depression can make life feel dark, isolating, and even hopeless. But you don’t have to pretend you’re okay, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. In this message, Pastor Mike talks honestly about depression, the importance of acknowledging what we’re feeling and asking for help, and the hope we can hold onto even in our darkest seasons.

David wasn’t perfect, yet God called him a man after His own heart. In this message, Pastor Matt Berry looks at what that actually means and challenges us to live out our faith, live differently, turn back to God when we fall, and live with Heaven on our minds. At the end of the day, what will your life show that your heart was truly after?

What kind of legacy are you building with the life you're living today? Through the complicated story of David and his family, Pastor Jason States explores how our relationships, difficult conversations, past mistakes, and everyday choices shape the people we become. Learn how to reflect on yesterday without getting stuck there, make intentional choices today, and trust God with tomorrow. No matter what your past looks like, there is still time to create a legacy that matters.

Your time, attention, money, and energy tell a story about what matters most to you. So what is actually coming first?

Through one of the defining moments of David’s life, discover what worship looks like beyond music—and why gratitude, humility, preparation, and putting God first can reshape your priorities, your home, and the direction of your life.

What do you do when you've made a decision you deeply regret? Through the story of David and Bathsheba, this message explores how small compromises can lead to devastating consequences—and how conviction, confession, accountability, and God's grace can lead us toward restoration. David's story reminds us that sin has real consequences, but failure does not have to become our identity. With genuine repentance, God offers forgiveness, healing, and a clean heart.
