In this transformative episode of our church podcast, we delve into the timeless virtue of patience and its profound impact on our spiritual and everyday lives. In a world that often demands instant results and immediate gratification, developing patience can seem challenging, yet it is a cornerstone of a faithful and fulfilling life.

In this episode, we dive deep into the theme of rejection and how to face it with grace and faith. Life often brings moments of rejection that can leave us feeling hurt and discouraged. However, through the lens of Scripture and the stories of biblical figures, we uncover the profound purpose and lessons behind these challenging experiences.

In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Chad Rogers dives into the challenges and spiritual journey of letting go of control. Often, our desire to manage every aspect of our lives can hinder our faith and relationship with God. Join us as we explore biblical principles and practical steps to surrender our need for control and trust in God's perfect plan.

For so many of us, anxiety can be a daily struggle that fights to control us. From seemingly trivial worries to debilitating anguish, our experiences may seem unavoidable. What could be behind all of this anxiety, and how can we find relief?

We live in a world with limitless challenges and struggles. Even a glance at social media makes this evident. To make matters worse, ignorance and malice can often be found in the comments. What’s God’s will for us as a church, as individuals, to counter this? How can we make a true difference in our world, our city, and the neighborhoods where we live?

Last words are always important. What were God’s last recorded words to His people prior to four hundred years of silence? Could these words still be important to us today? As we close out the book of Malachi and our Welcome Home series, Pastor David explores these last words and encourages us to respond to what God is trying to say to us in our lives.

Have you ever wanted to give up doing the right thing, especially when you see bad people make it in life? Maybe, you’ve simply lost the desire to follow God because you haven't seen Him working around you. Centuries before Jesus, God’s people were feeling the same way. The prophet Malachi challenged them. He asked them to put God to the test. Join us as Pastor David explains what this test looked like and what it means for us today.

Have you ever had a situation when you were completely convinced of your viewpoint only to discover how off you really were? It happens to all of us. As we continue in the book of Malachi this week, we will learn that God’s people found themselves in the same predicament. What happened? How did God show up? Join us as Pastor David walks us through these questions and shares how God wants to adjust our priorities and help us live the life He’s been wanting for us all along.

Four hundred years before Jesus, God used Malachi to call out religious leaders and make plain the damage they are doing. How about you? Has the church caused you to walk away? Or, has the church caused you to live a fake life, pretending to be something you aren’t? Join us as we hear a story of the damage our choices and the choices of others can make in our faith journey, but how God is always there simply waiting for us to turn back to Him.
