Pastor Rod Collins continues in Ephesians 6:13–17, walking us piece by piece through the armor of God and what it truly means to be battle-ready. With vivid illustrations—from paint cans to riot shields—he makes it clear that spiritual armor only works when it’s actually put on, not just admired from a distance. The image that lingers is a church no longer passive, but suited up in truth, righteousness, faith, peace, and salvation—ready to stand firm when the pressure mounts.

Pastor Rod Collins opens Ephesians 6:10–13 with a wake-up call to recognize that we are in the fight of our lives—a spiritual battle far greater than what we can see. He unpacks Paul’s command to be strong in the Lord, to put on the full armor of God, and to stand firm against the schemes of a real and active enemy. What becomes unmistakably clear is that passive faith won’t hold the line; strength, readiness, and spiritual traction are essential if we intend to stand our ground.

Pastor Rod Collins teaches from Ephesians 5:22–33, walking through God’s design for marriage and the distinct callings placed on husbands and wives. With clarity and conviction, he unpacks what it means for a husband to love sacrificially as Christ loves the church and for a wife to respond with respect within a Spirit-filled relationship. What unfolds is a compelling picture of marriage not built on dominance or preference, but on self-denial, intentional love, and Christ-centered devotion that reshapes the home from the inside out.

Pastor Garrett Castro opens Ephesians 6:1–9 by grounding everyday relationships in the transforming grace described in Ephesians 2:8–10—a new life made possible by Christ. Moving through Scripture’s instructions for children, parents, and the workplace, he shows how salvation reshapes the way we obey, lead, serve, and steward authority. What comes into view is a faith meant to be lived out visibly, where homes and workplaces become places that reflect the grace, integrity, and care of a God who is actively forming His people.

Pastor Rod Collins teaches from Ephesians 5:25–31, diving into God’s design for marriage and the weighty calling placed on husbands to love with Christlike humility and sacrifice. Through vivid examples and cultural context, he shows how biblical headship is never about control, but about servant leadership that mirrors Jesus—patient, self-giving, and grounded in the power of the Holy Spirit. What rises to the surface is a vision of marriage where real strength is found in dying to self and choosing a love that builds, protects, and gives itself away.

Pastor Rod Collins teaches from Ephesians 5:15–21, urging the church to wake up spiritually and intentionally walk the walk in a culture that constantly pulls us off course. Paul’s words press into how wisdom, intentional use of time, Spirit-filled living, and worship shape a life that stays awake and aligned with God’s will. The picture that comes into focus is a life lived with purpose—alert, grateful, and responsive to the Spirit rather than drifting through faith on autopilot.

Pastor Kenton Beshore takes us into the story of Jacob in Genesis 27–32, showing how deeply our souls long for blessing and how damaging it is when we try to earn it from the wrong places. Through Jacob’s desperation, deception, and ultimate encounter with God, we see that blessing isn’t achieved through success, approval, or striving—it’s received when we finally look up and cling to God. We’re invited to embrace God’s blessing as our true identity and then live it out by boldly and consistently blessing others.

Pastor Rod Collins walks us through Ephesians 5:6–11, helping us see the powerful contrast between who we once were in darkness and who we now are in Christ. The message invites honest self-examination, asking whether our lives reflect the fruit of light—goodness toward others, righteousness before God, and truth within our hearts. We’re encouraged to bring everything into God’s light, trusting His grace to free us, heal us, and lead us into a life that truly pleases Him.

Pastor Rod Collins teaches from Ephesians 5:1–2, calling the church into a renewed way of living marked by love, forgiveness, and imitation of Christ. Drawing on the context of Ephesus and the realities of everyday life, he reminds us that following Jesus means intentionally putting off old patterns and walking in sacrificial, Spirit-filled love. As we step into a new year, we are challenged to live differently—not by willpower alone, but by allowing God’s inexhaustible love to flow through us to others.

Pastor Matt Higgins opens Isaiah 49:14–16 with a powerful reminder that even when we feel forgotten, God has never let us go. Drawing from God’s promise to Israel, he shows how the Lord’s love is stronger than our doubts, our waiting, and our circumstances—declaring that our lives are engraved on His hands. We are called to trust God in every season, choosing faith over fear and resting in the confidence that we are always secure in His hands.
