What does it mean to honor your parents when you are no longer required to obey every instruction they give?

Teaching from Ephesians 6:1–3, Josh Watkins examines the difference between obedience and honor. He explains why honor does not require complete agreement or approval, how it changes as parents and children grow older, and why healthy families and churches need relationships between generations.

This message challenges each of us to ask: What does honoring the people who came before me look like in my current stage of life?

What should following Jesus actually change about us?

In this Bible class, Greg Childers examines Jesus’ encounters in Matthew 22 and the commands to love God and love our neighbors. Because every human being bears God’s image, Christian transformation must affect how we view and treat other people.

Drawing from Romans 12, 2 Corinthians 5, 2 Corinthians 3, and 1 John, Greg explains how God is restoring what sin has broken and transforming Christians into the likeness of Christ. This lifelong process changes what we worship, what we love, how we think, and how we interact with family, friends, enemies, and those whom society considers beneath us.

How do we raise children who will know and love God as they grow older?

In this message from Deuteronomy 6:4–9, Joshua Watkins explains why faith must be more than a Sunday routine. It must be modeled in the home through our priorities, conversations, mistakes, apologies, and ordinary daily decisions.

Joshua also reminds us that raising faithful children is not solely the responsibility of parents. Every member of the church can help introduce the next generation to God through encouragement, mentorship, hospitality, and consistent love.

Where does forgiveness end?

In Matthew 18:21–35, Peter asks Jesus how many times he must forgive someone who sins against him. Jesus’ answer and the parable that follows reveal that forgiveness is not about keeping count—it is a way of life shaped by the immeasurable grace God has shown us.

Roger Potter discusses what it means to forgive from the heart, why bitterness ultimately harms the person carrying it, and how forgiveness differs from excusing wrongdoing or remaining in an abusive relationship. When we remember how much God has forgiven us, we find our motivation to extend grace to others.

What does it take to build a marriage that remains loving and faithful through the years?

Drawing from Ephesians 5 and more than 60 years of marriage, Bob Russell explains why biblical love is not merely a feeling—it is a commitment expressed through sacrifice, service, forgiveness, and obedience to God. He also shares candid stories from his own marriage and challenges husbands and wives to understand one another’s needs, extend grace, and give their families the best of their energy.

Marriage was designed to be more than a source of personal happiness. It is meant to reflect the faithful love of Christ for His church.

Will the faith we teach our children become a faith they genuinely embrace?

Beginning with the story of Samuel’s wayward sons in 1 Samuel 8, Bob Russell examines why children raised in Christian homes sometimes abandon the Lord. He discusses the dangers of child-centered parenting, the growing influence of culture and social media, and the personal responsibility every child ultimately carries.

Bob also offers compassionate guidance for parents and grandparents of prodigal children and three practical ways parents can intentionally disciple the children still living at home. This message is an honest and hopeful call to place God first, model genuine faith, and raise children who walk in the truth.

Most people think Ephesians 5 is primarily about marriage. Paul had something even deeper in mind.

In this sermon, Josh Watkins shows that the heart of Ephesians 5 isn't simply becoming a better husband or wife—it's becoming more like Jesus. By examining Christ's sacrificial love for His church, we're challenged to cultivate relationships marked by grace, holiness, tenderness, and selflessness.

Whether you're married or not, this message offers practical encouragement for every relationship in your life.

God didn't design the home to be a place of fear, shame, or pretending.

In this sermon from Genesis 2, Josh Watkins explores God's original design for marriage and family, showing that healthy homes are built through vulnerability, grace, forgiveness, and the transforming power of the gospel.

Whether you're married, single, or simply seeking healthier relationships, this message challenges us to build our homes—and our church—the way God intended.

The miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 is about much more than bread.

In this Bible class, Greg Childers explores how this miracle reveals Jesus as the Good Shepherd, fulfills Old Testament expectations of the Messiah, and teaches us to trust God's unlimited resources rather than our own limited perspective.
