Are you “rich in this present age?” Almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day. So, if your income is higher, then you are rich, and your affluence demands double vigilance.

How can a person survive prosperity? Well first, do not be haughty. Do not think for a moment that you had anything to do with your accumulation. Money is an untrustworthy foundation.  The United States economy endured ten recessions between 1948 and 2001. 

Don’t trust money. Trust God. He owns everything and gives us all things to enjoy. Move from the fear of scarcity to the comfort of provision. “Do good … be rich in good works, ready to give, and willing to share” (1 Timothy 6:18 NKJV).

In the military, much of the life of the person in the military is controlled by the military. They're usually those who are goal oriented and disciplined. But what if the spouse is more laid back? That couple is going to feel the normal frustration of those two personalities.

This week on Upon Further Review, we step back and answer an important question: What distinguishes Field Street Baptist Church?

After some time away, Dr. John Hall and Associate Pastor Cody Kitchen return to reflect on what makes Field Street what it is: Not personality, programs, or preferences, but a deep and steady commitment to the Word of God.

Dr. Hall shares the three essential marks he would personally look for when seeking a church in a new community:

• A high view of God

• A high view of Christ

• A high view of Scripture
  

Together, they unpack what it means to be a church shaped by Scripture in theology, preaching, leadership, and everyday ministry. From text-driven preaching to biblical formation, this episode explores why letting the Bible set the agenda keeps Christ at the center and transformation as the ultimate goal.

Join Pastor Michael as he continues through the sermon series Belong.

So many of today’s teens are quietly battling anxiety, depression and the pressures of fitting in — a reality that often goes unseen. In this episode, Mark sits down with two more Heartlight residents who open up about their mental health journeys. For Will, depression fueled his reckless behavior and created distance at home. But when he saw how his struggles impacted his little sister, he decided things had to change. Both teens reveal how their challenges with mental health shaped their choices, but also how Heartlight is helping them heal, reconnect and find hope for the future.
