As we explore Jesus Sermon on the Mount, today we dive into Jesus command to love one's enemies from Matthew 5. Loving those who hurt us is IMPOSSIBLE through human effort alone, but becomes achievable through Christ's power within us, in fact Jesus had to love his enemies too. Jesus was speaking to those devoted to Him, his disciples(all gathered around him, not just the 12 we commonly hear about). We have to remember, in following Christ, we signed up for this. And to love like Christ our love must first be rooted IN Christ. Jesus is removing the Loophole for us, and commands us to do likewise in loving others!Sermon Recap:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NDr7oyS8id45xZ8nJ1Lna8vGyvJ-pM7aMXedtafl9dY/preview?tab=t.0

This episode connects the Daniel Fast to something bigger: the idea of “first things” and “first fruits.” The team talks about why the beginning of a year can be a meaningful reset, why giving God the first part of the year is powerful, and how Scripture shows a pattern of God honoring the “first.” They also touch on grace, community, and how spiritual growth is often built through consistent rhythms with other believers. If you want to start the year with God at the center, this conversation will help frame your mindset.Be sure to share this with someone you love and tell them you’re grateful for them.

In this episode, the conversation centers on prayer, fasting, and the deeper issue God is often after—obedience. Using 1 Samuel 15, the team walks through Saul’s partial obedience, his justification, and the devastating cost of choosing what to keep instead of fully surrendering to God. This episode challenges listeners to examine where compromise has replaced obedience in their own lives.If this encouraged or challenged you, share it with someone you love. Thanks for watching, we'll see you next episode.

Pastor Mark Pagley kicks off our new series on the sermon on the mount. Matthew 5:13-16 tells us that we are to be salt and light in this world. We are to be influencers to those around us. We have no idea how God might use one word - moment - one generous expression in the life of another person to move them towards the amazing grace of Jesus. Our influence always starts with the person in front of us, not the platform, and sometimes it may take a while before we see the outcome of the influence we have with others. We have to know who Jesus really is and genuinely care about those around us in order to fulfill this common Jesus has for us!Sermon Recap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rzm_4HZDzYMQJikVEvLF5MsFDFSVtVt2ewJYoSFe6Es/preview?tab=t.0

What do you do when your emotions feel overwhelming—or completely absent? In this episode, we use the movie Inside Out as a starting point to talk about emotions, faith, and spiritual maturity. The conversation explores why emotions are real but unreliable as leaders, how sadness plays a necessary role in healing, and why Scripture invites us to acknowledge our feelings without letting them control our lives. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, emotional numbness, or confusion about how faith fits into your emotions, this episode will resonate deeply.

Pastor Mark shares about the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus, and how Jesus is the gift we need the most.

What if the enemy’s most effective weapon isn’t lies — but truth, slightly twisted? In this episode, we unpack why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies and how they lead us to question God, ourselves, and what we believe.We talk about Genesis 3, social media theology, AI, condemnation disguised as conviction, and how shortcuts promise freedom but steal formation. This is a conversation about learning to spot misinformation before it reshapes our faith.💬 Share this with someone you love who’s asking hard questions about truth right now.

Pastor Kevin Atkinson joins us this morning preaching on what the Bible says about misinformation. Misinformation has always shaped human behavior, just look at Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve! Modern culture is flooded with information that can confuse and distort truth, and in the beginning, sin introduced a deceptive landscape where God’s instructions were questioned. The enemy’s subtle strategy involved planting a deceptive idea, appealing to a distorted desire, and ultimately leading to destructive behavior. By twisting the truth rather than creating lies outright, the enemy convinced Eve to question God’s authority and pursue a shortcut instead of trusting God’s process. This message today challenges us to be cautious about what voices and questions we give mental space to and to trust that God’s ways are always best.Sermon Recap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17pAgrAGKlUmCnvsKLWKlrjvEAPIcRtUj08jjNanMDbE/preview?tab=t.0

Pastor Mark Pagley continues our series on the names of God, diving into the name “El’Aw” The God Who Rescues & The God Who Saves! The life of Daniel shows us this name. Significance is not determined by age, talents, or wealth, but by one's character and commitment to God. Through the narrative of Daniel in the lions' den, the sermon illustrates how maintaining a consistent prayer life, demonstrating excellence in all tasks, and staying faithful to God can lead to both personal significance and potential spiritual impact on others. Our God is one who rescues and saves, we can be confident in that today and every day!Sermon Recap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/126xwe7I3v6WuR6VKg97w5HIisIGEUFtcwCbMmjygNDY/preview?tab=t.0
