The Heart of the Matter

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley

We all like to think that if we avoid the big sins—like murder or adultery—we're in the clear. But the real battle is happening inside our hearts long before we ever take action.

In this message, we dive into Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, where He takes the familiar laws of Moses and flips them upside down, showing us that God's standard is far more than just avoiding sin—it's about transforming our hearts.

Whether it's anger, lust, or broken relationships, Jesus calls us to address the root causes of our behavior. Watch as Pastor Lance challenges us not just to change our actions but to let Jesus change our hearts so that we can truly thrive and flourish in His kingdom.

Life is one big decision after another. 🤔 Some choices are easy. Others? Not so much—especially when it comes to living the kind of life Jesus calls us to. In this message, we're wrapping up our series on the Sermon on the Mount with some final "Kingdom Decisions" that could change how you live every day. It's time to ask: Is Jesus really the Lord of your life? Let's dig into it together. We hope you enjoy the message.

When God Seems Silent

October 6, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley

Ever felt like God left you on "read" or ignored your prayers? 😔 You've asked for something important. You've prayed, maybe even begged, but…nothing. We've all been there. But what if God's silence isn't the end of the conversation? In this message, Pastor Lance dives into Jesus' invitation to Ask, Seek, and Knock. Discover how approaching God in prayer is less about getting what we want and more about the best gift of all, Him. 🙏🏼 Explore how to make prayer personal again—even when the door hasn't opened yet.

Have You Judged Someone Lately?

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley

Ever catch yourself pointing out someone else’s flaws—only to realize you’ve got a few of your own? 😬 It’s way too easy to slip into a judgmental mindset. We call out the faults in others but often overlook our own. In this message, Pastor Lance gets real about why judging others isn’t helping anybody—including ourselves. He unpacks what Jesus meant when He said, “Judge not, that you be not judged,” and how a shift in perspective can change how we see people (including ourselves). We hope you enjoy the message.
