When we see someone hurting, it can be easy to look away and keep moving. But Jesus calls His people to something different. In this message, Mike Blackwood shares how Connie Maxwell Children's Ministries is helping children, families, and foster families find care, healing, and hope. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we are reminded that compassion does more than see a need, it moves toward it. Most importantly, real hope is found in Jesus, who meets us in our brokenness and changes our lives. Listen and consider how God might be calling you to see, feel, and move toward those around you.

What do we do when life feels broken, uncertain, or filled with darkness? Jesus offers more than temporary hope. He offers life. In John 8, Jesus declares that He is the Light of the World and points us to the truth that He came from the Father to save us from our sin. He knew the cross was coming, yet He willingly came to take our place and rise again. Our salvation is not found in ourselves, but in Christ alone. If you need hope, forgiveness, or a reason to trust Jesus, this message points you to the One who gives life.

God calls every believer to rekindle their passion for Jesus, share the gospel with those who are far from Him, and help other believers grow in their faith.

It’s easy to become comfortable in our faith and forget that Jesus has called us to go and tell others about Him. In this message, MJ McVey shares how God has led his family from Southeast Asia to Panama and how He is using ordinary, willing people to share the gospel and strengthen churches. Through 2 Timothy, we are reminded to rekindle our faith, refuse to be ashamed of Jesus, and pour into others. God has given us a mission field right where we are. Who is the one person God is calling you to reach?

Sometimes God calls us to step outside our comfort zone, serve someone we don't know, or simply be willing to go. The Impact Ministries mission trip to Myrtle Beach became a powerful reminder that God can use ordinary acts of obedience to make an eternal impact. Through serving children, praying with strangers, sharing the gospel, and encouraging one another, this team saw God working in both the people they served and in their own hearts. This message is a reminder that you don't have to travel far to be a missionary. If you're willing to go, God can use you right where you are.

The Light of the World:
There are times when life feels dark and we are not sure where to turn. Fear, sin, loneliness, and uncertainty can make it hard to see the way forward. But Jesus gives us a different hope. He said, “I am the light of the world.”

In this message, we see why that statement matters. Jesus is the Son of God, the Light who overcame sin and death through His death and resurrection. He is our salvation, our guide, and our hope. And when we follow Him, He calls us to carry His light into the lives of the people around us.

No matter where you are today, there is hope in Jesus. He is the Light of the World.

Have you ever felt ashamed of your past or wondered if God could still love you? In this message, Setting the Trap, we see Jesus meet a woman caught in sin with both truth and mercy. He doesn't pretend sin isn't serious, but He also doesn't leave her without hope. The same Savior who offered her forgiveness still invites us to find new life in Him today. If you're searching for grace, freedom, or a fresh start, this message points you to Jesus.

We all want stronger relationships, but real change begins with the love only Jesus can give. Today, we hear from Dr. Carney and we're reminded that when we trust Christ, God places His love in our hearts so we can care for others the way He does. That kind of love isn't based on feelings, it's seen in everyday actions of mercy, grace, and kindness. If you've ever wondered how your faith can make a difference in the way you treat people, this message offers hope and points you to the life Jesus invites us to live.

Fear is something we all face, but the resurrection of Jesus gives us a reason to live with hope instead of fear. As we remember Christ through the Lord's Supper, this message points us back to the cross, the empty tomb, and the promise that Jesus is alive and still in control. Whether you're walking closely with Him or searching for answers, you'll be reminded that forgiveness, peace, and eternal life are found in Jesus alone. Come hear the good news of the risen Savior and discover why you can trust Him today.

Who is Jesus, really? In John 7:40–52, people reached very different conclusions about Him, just as they do today. This message shows that Jesus doesn't leave us neutral. He calls us to trust Him, believe His Word, and follow Him even when it's unpopular. As you listen, you'll be encouraged to look honestly at who Jesus is and discover the hope, life, and salvation that are found in Him alone. If you've never trusted Him, today is a good day to take that step of faith.

When life feels like it's headed in the wrong direction, where do we turn? Looking at 2 Chronicles 7:14, this message reminds us that God calls His people to humble themselves, pray, seek Him, and turn away from sin. Real change doesn't begin with politics or programs, it begins in hearts that are surrendered to Jesus. No matter where you've been or what you've done, God's mercy is greater, and He invites you to trust Him, follow Him, and find the forgiveness and hope that only He can give.
