Luke 16’s rich man is the Scrooge who never repented. Ignoring the poor at his gate, he awakens in eternal torment, forever separated by a fixed chasm. Through Dickens’ classic and Jesus’ parable, we face the unavoidable truth—sin brings present and eternal consequences, justice will be served—but the cross offers mercy to all who turn to Christ before it is too late.

Ever feel like modern Christmas skips the part where we actually need saving?

Week 1 of our Christmas series uses Dickens’ classic (and a chilling scene from A Christmas Carol) to let the “Ghost of Christmas Past” do its biblical work: forcing us to look at the moments we chose money, fear, lust, or pride over God. Romans 3 doesn’t soften the blow—no one is righteous, not one. But the same Spirit who awakens us to our sin refuses to leave us there. Raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful—this is the Christmas message our hearts actually need.

Tired of complaining and still feeling empty? This timely message unpacks the one place in Scripture that flat-out says, “This is God’s will for you”: Be thankful in all circumstances. With funny, real-life stories and zero guilt trips, discover why grateful people are the most grounded, joyful people you know—and how thankfulness rewires your perspective, softens your heart, and reminds you that God is always good. Perfect for any week you need a reset.

Discover God’s sovereignty over family through Psalm 127. Children are precious gifts and rewards from Him, not burdens. In a culture seeking to steal their innocence, parents and the church must stand firm in the gap—affirming God-given identity, shielding hearts with Scripture, and embracing gratitude through faithful service.

Job is surrounded by friends who accuse him of deserving his pain... he pushes back, as over and over, they tell him what God thinks of him. Job teaches us that there's no substitute for the word of God in our lives.

Studies show people who really believe in God, like enough to go to church regularly, and who have a robust belief in the afterlife, do a lot better on a number of mental health issues... why? Job shows us what kept him going through through the worst situations imaginable.

In Job 3, we see Job unmask his pain, cursing the day of his birth after losing everything. His raw lament—honest grief expressed to God—teaches us that faith isn't hiding sorrow but bringing it to Him. Through Job’s story, we learn God knows our pain, inviting us to lament like Jesus did, trusting in His love. Whether facing loss, anger, or despair, your story isn’t over. Lamenting fosters intimacy with God, transforming suffering into a bridge to deeper faith, hope, and communal support, pointing us to Jesus’ redemptive suffering.
