The Porch

The love of money is the root of all evil, yet we're called to faithfully steward our God-given resources—so how do we navigate the tension? This week, Tyler Moffett walks us through 1 Timothy 6 to remind us that our finances may change, but the Lord we serve never will.

We've rebranded self-obsession as self-care, and it's not working. This week, Tyler Moffett continues our "Lovers" series in 2 Timothy 3, warning us against becoming "lovers of self" and reminding us that God's perfect love allows us to fix our eyes on the One who deserves our attention.

Golden calves might be hard to find nowadays, but the sentiment remains; We were made to worship, and we often worship people and things other than God. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Exodus 32 to identify why we choose idols, how God responds to it, and how, because of Christ, we can move forward when we mess up.

When we hear the gospel, it demands a response. This week, guest speaker Sam Gibson, the director of Pray.NYC and executive pastor of the Church of the City New York, walks us through Joel 2 to remind us of what life in Christ truly looks like.

We often try to make God into a grandfatherly figure who is more of a "pal" than a Savior. We're told that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom — and in our final session, Matt Chandler walked us through exactly what this kind of reverence looks like in our life with Christ.

We end up wasting a lot of time striving for personal status when the most honored title God ever gave someone was "servant." Author and speaker Christine Caine points to Joshua 1 to remind us that those who have been most effective for God's kingdom never settled for something as temporary as a platform.

We talk a lot in the church about how God has invited us into life with Him—but what does that mean? In this message from Isaiah 55, the founder of Radical and pastor of McLean Bible Church, David Platt, walks us through 10 characteristics of God's invitation to you.

Has your faith gone lukewarm? In this message from Mark 11, the founder of Radical and pastor of McLean Bible Church, David Platt, reminds us of the four things we are prone to miss as the temple of God.

You can love Jesus sincerely and still refuse to surrender completely. In the first session of Awaken, our executive director, Kylen Perry, walks us through Romans 12 to challenge our commitment-prone culture and remind us that our lives are best lived on the altar.
