You swore that you'd never (ever, ever...) say that like your father and never (ever, ever, ever...) say that like your mother and, yet, look at who you've become.... God promises that he is bigger than the elephants in our parenting. In this third installment of the Elephant-free Family Life series, Pastor Greg Byman shares some principles about how a dad and mom can, with God's help, recover authentic communication the way God designed it.

Is there an elephant in your marriage? Every marriage needs a process for addressing hard issues. God promises that he is bigger than the elephants in the room that we find too painful to address and resolve.

The temptation for every church is to rest into a fellowship, where followers of Jesus Christ can huddle while the storm rages outside. Now in its 16th year as a church plant in Fort Wayne, St Joe Community Church is Preparing for More in 2019. Today Pastor Greg Byman preached on girding oneself for more souls to respond to the gospel in 2018 and 2019, and what that looks like for the local body of Christ.

How does serving the needy serve the needy, and serve you? Jesus taught his followers to both be generous to the needy and, in that generosity, focus on a reward from God, not recognition from men. Otherwise, a man might someday discover that God found his “good works” to be not all that good after all. Pastor Greg Byman today dives into Matthew 25:31-46 as he preaches “Serving the Needy: The True Test of Real Faith.”

If your life were “restored,” what might that look like? Car aficionados don't just restore a car to its original level of functionality, but dote over the new interior, paint job, wheels, and more. Jesus came for the broken and humble, and the key to spiritual restoration is beginning in a place of humility in order to receive the restoration care of our heavenly father. Pastor Greg Byman preached, “How To Experience Real Restoration” at St Joe Community Church on Sunday, October 14, 2018.

How authoritative is your authority? When man sinfully kicks God off the throne of his life, he soon realizes that he needs a replacement authority. Christians have an opportunity to re-introduce the beauty and majesty of God’s true authority, expressed personally in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Today, Pastor Greg Byman focused on Matthew 8:5-13 as he preached through “Real Authority,” at St Joe Community Church on Sunday, October 7, 2018.

What qualifies as a "great announcement"?

Soon-to-be grandparents eagerly await the announcement, "...it's a boy!" or "...it's a girl!"| Basketball fans eagerly await the announcement of which recruit signs with which team. | Political watchers eagerly listen for results from an election.

The Greatest Announcement of all time was the prophesied coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and this week Pastor Greg Byman dives into Acts 13:41 to consider just how radical and amazing this announcement was.

What does it mean to live on or off purpose? Today, Pastor Greg Byman looks at Acts chapter 2 to consider how believers in Jesus Christ can be intentional about living for God's glory.
