In the opening message of The Summer Series, Pastor Matt Higgins draws from Lamentations 3:19–24 to introduce one of Scripture's most overlooked yet deeply human practices — biblical lament. Rather than calling believers to minimize their pain or put on a brave face, Pastor Matt makes the case that honest, raw, unfiltered honesty before God is not a sign of weak faith but the very pathway to intimacy with him — holding pain deeply in one hand and the character of a faithful God tightly in the other.

In this concluding message of the Proverbs series, Pastor Rod Collins lays out seven practical ways to acquire wisdom — seeking it wholeheartedly, taking in God's word, listening to wise counsel, praying for it, associating with the wise, walking in the fear of the Lord, and even learning from the humble example of the ant — drawing on Solomon's own request for wisdom as the framework for the entire message.

In this special Father's Day message, Pastor Rod Collins draws from Nehemiah 4:14, Malachi 4:6, Ezekiel 18, and 2 Corinthians 6:18 to lay out five defining marks of a godly father — knowing the love of a heavenly father, breaking generational sin cycles, being a good man before being a good father, having a genuine heart for his children, and fighting fiercely for his family rather than fleeing when life gets hard.

Proverbs 16:1–9 is one of Scripture's most practical passages on decision-making, and Pastor Rod Collins unpacks it with characteristic depth — exploring what it truly means to commit plans to the Lord, to live as an audience of one before God, and to hold personal ambitions loosely enough that the sovereign hand of God can redirect them at any moment. A searching and timely word for anyone navigating a crossroads, a reset, or the quiet tension between a good plan and a God plan.

In Proverbs 6:6, Solomon bypasses the entire animal kingdom to make an unlikely choice — the ant. Pastor Rod Collins unpacks three timeless wisdom lessons drawn from one of creation's smallest creatures: work hard without being told, develop a strong work ethic, and invest diligently in the present as preparation for the future — a message as relevant to graduates stepping into a new season as it is to anyone prone to hitting the snooze button on life.

In Proverbs 26:13–16, Solomon paints a startlingly accurate portrait of laziness — from the absurd excuses of a man who claims there's a lion in the street, to the sluggard so idle he can't lift food to his own mouth. Pastor Rod Collins brings this ancient wisdom to life with characteristic honesty and humor, making the case that laziness is not merely a bad habit but a destructive mindset that wastes God-given potential — and that the antidote is as simple, and as hard, as peeling the first onion.

Proverbs 13:20 is a short verse with a long reach, and Pastor Rod Collins unpacks both sides of it — the transformative power of walking closely with wise people, and the quietly devastating consequences of keeping company with fools. Drawing on decades of personally pursuing mentors and wisdom-seekers, Pastor Rod makes the case that becoming wise is less a matter of intelligence than of intentionality, and that the relational choices made today are shaping the person being formed tomorrow.

Continuing the series through the book of Proverbs, Pastor Garrett Castro works through Proverbs 10:1–7, unpacking the stark contrast between godly wisdom and the folly that quietly erodes families, work ethic, and legacy — drawing from James 3, Matthew 6, and 2 Corinthians 12 to show that seeking and applying God's wisdom are two very different things, and that one without the other is never enough.

In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Rod Collins draws from 2 Timothy 1 and Romans 16 to paint a portrait of motherhood that extends far beyond biology — tracing how the quiet, faithful example of women like Timothy's grandmother Lois and an unnamed woman Paul called his own mother shaped the course of lives and, ultimately, history itself. Through three practical challenges — prioritizing time with Jesus, remaining faithful in the small things, and intentionally pursuing people — Pastor Rod makes the case that ordinary women investing in the lives around them are doing some of the most significant work in the kingdom of God.

In Proverbs 4:23, Solomon delivers what may be his most urgent piece of wisdom — above all else, guard your heart. Pastor Rod Collins unpacks why the heart is not meant to be followed but protected, exploring how the steady stream of cultural noise, content, and comparison quietly shapes the beliefs, desires, and convictions of anyone who leaves it unguarded.
