In this message, Ellie addresses the central question, "Is God worth following?" Drawing from John chapter 10, she explores the metaphor of Jesus as "the good shepherd" and believers as His sheep. Fulmer contrasts the genuine, life-giving relationship with the Good Shepherd against the "counterfeit" satisfactions the world offers, which ultimately lead to emptiness. She emphasizes the importance of experiencing the Shepherd by hearing and knowing His voice, focusing on worship, and remembering God's character and faithfulness to understand why He is truly worthy of being followed, not just for His actions but for who He is.

In this message, part of a series that previously covered angels and demons, Kyle Shuler delivers a lesson on Spiritual Warfare. He emphasizes that believers are in a constant spiritual battle against Satan and demonic forces who aim to deceive, tempt, and destroy. Shuler encourages listeners to recognize these attacks, particularly in areas like social media comparison and personal insecurities. The core of the message focuses on equipping oneself with the "Armor of God" as described in Ephesians 6, detailing each piece and its significance. He stresses the importance of knowing God's Word, prayer, resisting the devil (even verbally rebuking him), and living in Christian community for accountability and support, reminding everyone that Christ has already won the ultimate victory.

This message by Seth Phipps, titled "Good Plans", explores whether God truly has good plans for us, even when circumstances seem to indicate otherwise. Phipps delves into Jeremiah 29, particularly verse 11, explaining that while the passage was directly addressed to Israel in exile, its principles about God's character and desire for us to prosper and have a future apply to believers today. He encourages listeners to understand that God is not trying to harm them but wants them to seek Him wholeheartedly to discover and live in His good purposes.

In this installment of his "Hard Topics" series, Kyle Shuler delves into the biblical understanding of Satan and demons. He begins by clarifying that Satan is not the opposite of God but a created being who fell due to pride, becoming the accuser and deceiver. Shuler explores the origin of demons as fallen angels who rebelled with Satan. The message outlines the capabilities of Satan and demons, including tempting believers, deceiving minds, causing physical harm, and creating division through false teachings, while emphasizing they are limited by God's sovereignty. Finally, Shuler provides practical ways believers should respond: by being alert, submitting to God, resisting the devil, knowing the Word, relying on the Holy Spirit, and walking in community with other believers.

In this message from MVMT, Hudson Jones continues YTH Takeover with a powerful reflection on the life of David, focusing on God’s selection of David as king not for his appearance, but for the posture of his heart. Drawing parallels between David’s journey and our own, Hudson challenges both believers and skeptics to move beyond merely knowing of God and to cultivate a real relationship with Him. Through stories of David’s anointing, his battle with Goliath, and his ultimate fall and repentance, Hudson reminds us that while sin always has consequences, God meets us with mercy and a call to return.

In this message from week one of the "Yth Takeover" series, speaker Hannah Ryan dives into 2 Peter 1:3-11. She encourages listeners to deepen their relationship with God, emphasizing that His divine power provides everything needed for a godly life through knowing Him. Hannah urges intentional pursuit of godliness—adding qualities like goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, mutual affection, and love to faith —comparing it to staying between flagpoles in the ocean, requiring effort to avoid drifting. Finally, she calls listeners to faithfully confirm their calling and election, reminding them of the "rich welcome into the eternal kingdom" and the importance of delighting in God's character.

In this first part of a two-part series on "Hard Topics: Election and Free Will," Alexis addresses the theological concepts of election and free will in salvation. She explains that while all Christians believe God is sovereign, they disagree on how His sovereignty works with human responsibility. Roper introduces Calvinism and its TULIP framework (Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints), which emphasizes God's sovereignty in salvation. She acknowledges the tensions and weaknesses in this theological position, promising to address the free will perspective in the following week. Throughout the interactive message, she encourages students to wrestle with these concepts while maintaining unity on essential Christian beliefs.
