MOOR of the Word with Pastor Chuck Pourciau

Jesus taught that His return will come without warning, just like a pop quiz. In Luke 21, He challenges us to read the signs, remain spiritually awake, and not let the distractions of life dull our awareness. Whether Christ returns today or we stand before Him at life’s end, the call is the same: stay ready. This message explores the urgency of living with a watchful heart and a grounded trust in the unchanging Word of God.

In Luke 20:1–8, Jesus is confronted by religious leaders who question His authority—something people still do today, whether knowingly or not. At the core of this encounter lies a timeless question: Who has the right to define truth, morality, and direction in my life? In a world where self is often seen as the highest authority, Jesus points to something greater—an objective, unchanging source: the will of the Father, revealed in Scripture. This message calls us to reject the lie of self-rule and find true freedom in submitting to God's authority.

What would you ask for if God offered you anything?

In 1 Kings 3, Solomon is given that opportunity—and his response reveals not only his humility but also God’s heart. This message explores the gift of wisdom, the danger of divided devotion, and the real challenge we face today: not in gaining wisdom, but in living it out.
