“Hey, Big Mouth! : Don’t Call Me Out Like That” dives into the difference between biblical accountability and simply calling people out. In a culture that celebrates sarcasm, public embarrassment, and “keeping it real,” Jesus calls us to something different: speaking truth in love. This message explores how correction should restore people, not shame them, and why gentleness, humility, and grace matter when helping others grow in Christ.

Your words carry more power than you think. In this teaching, we dive into Proverbs 18:21, James 3, and Ephesians 4 to uncover how our words can either bring life or start destruction. From jokes and group chats to encouragement and healing, we’ll challenge students to recognize that what comes out of their mouth reveals what’s happening in their heart. Your words have superpowers — so what are you creating with them?

In the trial before Pilate, two men stand before the crowd: one guilty and one innocent. The crowd chooses to release Barabbas, a murderer and rebel, while Jesus—the sinless Son of God—is condemned to the cross. In this message, we explore how this moment reveals the heart of the gospel: substitution. The guilty walks free while the innocent takes his place. Through the story of Barabbas, we see prophecy fulfilled, the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, and the life-changing reality of the great exchange—our sin placed on Christ and His righteousness given to us.

In a culture that rewards compromise and mocks self-control, obedience to God is a quiet act of defiance. This week, we reframe “strait-laced” not as uptight or joyless—but as unbought, unpressured, and unashamed. Through the lives of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Joseph, and ultimately Jesus, we explore how true rebellion often looks like staying faithful when everyone else bends. This conversation challenges listeners to see holiness not as isolation, but as resistance—and to choose faithfulness even when it costs labels, comfort, or applause.

Youth Pastor of Thrive Church in Greenville, SC, DeeJay Macyke, takes us through Hebrews 3 and encourages to have a tender heart, a sensitive spirit, and open ears to God.

This week, we will focused on experiencing God through creation and solitude. We examined Jesus’ example in the scriptures and admire how he regularly connected with the Father.

There is a misconception that we only experience God’s presence in the confines of the
church building or worship. Many seek Jesus in moments of excitement and hype yet overlook the profound truth that He is present with us in the simplicity of our everyday lives.

In a world that’s always shouting “do more, be more, prove yourself,” Jesus whispers, “be still.” This week, we talked about true peace that isn’t found in performing for people’s approval — it’s found in resting in who God says we are. Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11, this message challenges us to lead a quiet life, mind our business, and be faithful in the ordinary. Because performance wants applause — but peace wants purpose.

When someone’s hurting, they don’t need a sermon—they need someone to listen. This episode dives into Job 6:26 and James 1:19 to show why true compassion asks questions instead of shouting answers. Jesus did it, and so should we. Sometimes the most powerful ministry isn’t what you say—it’s how well you listen.

This week we sit down and study The Whole Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-18
