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.
Fix Your Focus
September 22, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Ever feel like life pulls your attention in a million different directions? 🤯
From scrolling on social media to juggling responsibilities, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. But what if there’s a better way to live where your focus brings you more peace, not more pressure?
In this message, we’ll talk about the distractions we all face and discover how fixing our focus on what truly matters can transform everything.
When Prayer Gets Real
September 15, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Struggling to forgive someone who hurt you? You're definitely not alone—it's one of the hardest things Jesus calls us to do. 😓
In this message, Pastor Lance shared a powerful word on the deep connection between prayer and forgiveness. The reason we can approach God in prayer at all is because of His forgiveness. We owed a debt we could never repay, but in His mercy, God wiped it clean.
Here's the tough part: we can't separate prayer from forgiveness. When we pray, we're reminded of the forgiveness we've received, and we're called to extend that same grace to others. It's tough to ask God for grace while holding onto a grudge.
If you're struggling to forgive, know this: it's not about saying what someone did was okay. It's about aligning your heart with God's heart. And God's heart? It's all about forgiveness. Holding onto unforgiveness only keeps you bound to something He's already let go of in you.
Who Are You Really Doing It For?
September 8, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, no one seems to notice? Maybe you went out of your way to help someone, but it felt like it didn't matter because you didn't get the recognition you hoped for.
In this message, Pastor Lance reminded us that it's not about being noticed by others. In fact, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to be careful about doing things just to be seen by people. The truth is, public applause might feel good for a moment, but it doesn't last. God's approval, though? That's forever.
When we stop seeking validation from the world and rest in the fact that God already sees everything we do, it brings peace that can't be found anywhere else.
Let's lean into this truth and apply it to our lives. It could be a game-changer!
Don't Let Evil Make You Evil
September 1, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Does it ever feel like the world is daring you to hit back? 🤨
Maybe it's that person who won't stop pushing your buttons. Or the situation that has you ready to snap because it feels so unfair.
It's easy to let anger or frustration get the best of us, but what if there's a better way? What if, instead of allowing the wrongs against us pull us down, we could rise above them—literally change the game?
In this message, Pastor Lance talks about what Jesus says concerning handling life's most challenging moments, not with a clenched fist but with a heart full of something stronger. It could change how you see your world and how the world sees you.
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.
God’s Way To Make A Difference
August 18, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
How do you see yourself?
Are you a masterpiece in progress or a mess waiting to happen? When you look in a mirror, do you see a survivor or a struggler? Are you an advocate or a harsh critic?
The way you view yourself shapes how you live. But what if your perspective changed?
In this message, Pastor Lance will help you see yourself through God’s eyes. You will discover how God’s perspective can give you a new view of yourself that brings hope and purpose to life. This message could redefine how you see your life. You're more than your struggles. You are a masterpiece in the making with the potential to make a difference in the world.
What It Costs to Be Blessed
August 11, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
What if being blessed came wrapped in something you didn't expect—like sacrifice, inconvenience, or even pain? In this message, Pastor Lance revealed another layer of what Jesus meant when He spoke about being blessed.
He explores the cost of being blessed and its power. Be sure to watch because if you put Jesus' words into practice, they will change how you see life.
Living God’s Kind of Way
August 4, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
In this message, Pastor Lance talks about the first four Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount and explored the surprising and often counterintuitive ways Jesus describes a blessed life.
In our culture, blessings often equate to wealth, happiness, and success. But Jesus flips this idea on its head. He speaks of blessings in terms of being poor in spirit, mourning, and showing meekness. Why does Jesus call these blessed? How can mourning lead to comfort and meekness to inheriting the earth?
In this message, we explored these profound truths and discovered that true flourishing comes not from societal measures of success but from living God's way.
If you seek a deeper understanding of what it means to be blessed, this message is for you. It will help align your perspective with God's idea of a thriving life.
Are You Blessed?
July 28, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
What does it mean to be blessed?
Some might think of "blessed" as being synonymous with success. Others might point to how much money they have, the car they drive, the house they live in, or the clothes they wear. But what does the Bible say about being blessed?
In this message, Pastor Lance talks about what the Bible says makes someone blessed. It's probably not what you think.
The bottom line is if you want God's kind of life, you have to live God's kind of way. We hope you enjoy week one of the Sermon on the Mount series.
