To grow in maturity, we know we must know the power of delayed gratification. We teach our children the importance of waiting; the Lord reminds of this often. In our longings and waiting on the Lord, we can easily grow weary, bitter, and even angry. If unchecked, this can cultivate an environment for lust and pride that will impact our choices and actions. Join us today as we challenge you and provide you hope as you wait on the Lord’s timing. 

God is in control. No matter the circumstances. After we are saved, we begin the journey of growing in spiritual maturity; however, sometimes those we love dearly refuse to see the change. In Luke 4: 14-30, Jesus fulfills the prophecy regarding his coming as the Messiah. The same people who watched him grow up were the same people who refused to believe he was the Son of God— they couldn’t see past his past. Let this be a comfort to you today: you are not alone in the rejection you feel. Join us today as we explore how to continue to cultivate spiritual maturity despite other people’s disbelief. 

One of the most famous stories in the Bible is the parting of the Red Sea. This great miracle brought literal freedom from slavery to the Hebrew people; in turn, the people broke into an unyielding, raw, moment of worship for all the Lord had done. Though he may not be splitting the sea today, the Lord still longs to free His people. Join us today as we explore potential areas He may be longing to free you to worship in a deeper way than ever before. 

Worship is a foundational principle of the Christian faith. According to Scripture, worship should be a lifestyle— an intentional partaking in the mundane and holy moments. Today we will discuss this principle in more depth and provide practical ways to implement this into your everyday routine. 

The Lord longs for peace and harmony in a world where wrongdoing is exploited and the media sensationalizes scandal. It’s often easy to get caught up in who offended who. Like rainfall, being offended is inevitable; like rainfall, the Lord provides wisdom on how to handle it well.  Join us today as we go through 2nd Samuel 10 and explore offense— how to handle it and its dangers— so that we may all grow stronger and walk in true biblical maturity. 

Technological advancement has provided humanity great freedom as the world continues to develop virtually. From work-from-home opportunities to AI, these provide great relief but do not fulfill an innate longing for human connection. Join us today as Mars Pope discusses the importance of biblical community, and the benefits of living community.
