Forgiveness Over Fury

September 22, 2024 • John Reilly • Matthew 5:21–26, Mark 3:1–6, Mark 10:13–16, Mark 1:40–42, John 11:32–33

In our journey through life, we often carry burdens that weigh us down. Getting angry is inevitable but carrying around our anger is a choice. Instead of swallowing, justifying, or releasing our anger destructively, we are called to embrace forgiveness and lament, freeing ourselves from the heavy load and stepping into the life God intended for us.

The Narrow Path

September 15, 2024 • Dave D'Angelo • Matthew 5:27–32, Ephesians 5:32

When God’s Kingdom takes root in our hearts, it transforms how we view and engage with the world. What consumes our hearts dictates what we experience. Jesus calls us to hear His voice not as a threat but as an invitation to abundant life. The narrow path leads to life by confronting lust and to stop viewing our marriages as disposable. We need to choose love, not consumption, to walk on the right path.

The Heart of a Disciple

September 8, 2024 • Amanda Beggs • Matthew 7:24–27, Matthew 5:17–20, Matthew 23:27–28, Matthew 15:8–9, Ezekiel 36:26–27

At the core of "Your Kingdom come" is a deep desire for God to restore the world to its rightful order. We must go beyond surface-level Christianity and allow Jesus to fully reign in our hearts, granting Him complete access to transform us from the inside out. We must regularly check our hearts, motivations, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. It’s only through Jesus that our hearts and actions can align as genuine disciples, living for the Kingdom.
