Stuff vs. Simplicity

A Fresh Wind

Stuff vs. Simplicity

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Ryan Hurd • Philippians 4:11–13, Matthew 6:25–27, Matthew 6:33

Our habits of accumulation often leave us feeling empty and distracted. True contentment and peace come from simplifying our lives, trusting God’s provision, and seeking His kingdom first. Through gratitude and intentionality, we can break free from the cycle of “more” and embrace the fullness of Christ.

Conceal vs. Confess

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Ryan Hurd • Proverbs 28:13, James 5:16, Psalm 32:1–5, Luke 18:9–13, James 1:22–24

A vibrant Christian faith thrives on the habit of confession. By humbly assessing ourselves and acknowledging our need for forgiveness, we open the door to God’s grace. Instead of hiding our mistakes, we’re called to surrender them—whether privately before God or with a trusted friend. Though it may feel uncomfortable at first, regular confession becomes a transformative practice that keeps us humble and prevents sin from taking root in our lives.

Worry vs. Worship

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Ryan Hurd • Luke 10:38–42, Philippians 4:6–7

We live in a world that offers us plenty to be worried and worked up about. It is easy to develop habits that keep us from putting God first. Rather than allowing our hearts to be distracted, we can choose a routine of worship. Worship is when we give our time, attention, energy and affection to God. This habit allows us to find peace in His presence and embrace His incredible grace.

Poison vs. Promises

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Ryan Hurd • Romans 12:2, Psalm 19:7–14, Psalm 119:97

By intentionally incorporating God's truth from the Bible into our daily lives, we can replace negative thoughts with His promises and develop habits that lead us to become the people God wants us to be. Discover the transformative power of renewing our minds and breaking free from harmful habits.
