Judgment & Accountability and Forgiveness vs. Accountability can be hard tensions to balance. However, when we recognize our own sin and need for Jesus, judgment yields gracious accountability. When we focus on the forgiveness we've been given, accountability goes from wanting revenge to wanting good for the other person.

Kingdoms in Conflict - Mark 9:30-37

January 21, 2024 • Pastor Kenny Fisher • Mark 9:30–37, Matthew 7:21–23

The great spiritual battle comes down to two kingdoms in conflict: the Kingdom of God vs the Kingdom of Self. Only a clear view of God's unending grace can make you love God's Kingdom more than yourself.

God's Sovereignty versus Free Will

January 14, 2024 • Pastor John D Talley III • Jeremiah 19, Isaiah 44:24—45:25, Hebrews 12:5–11, Jeremiah 18:1–11

Sometimes, things don't make sense to us, and we don't understand what God is doing. Today, we are reminded that God desires to shape us (not destroy us), God reserves the right to deal with us His way, and that God can and will deal with rebellion against His sovereignty.

Healthy Tensions - Guiding Principles

January 7, 2024 • Pastor Chris Casoni • Philippians 1:9, Psalm 119:125, James 3:17, James 4:6, Hebrews 5:14

Scripture frequently presents us with tensions. It offers truths that seem to push and pull on one another. Tension is often a negative word, but tension isn't always an indicator that something's wrong. The more God stretches us, the more he can use us, and the more we will delight in Him. Embracing these healthy tensions leads to spiritual wisdom and fulfillment.
