This week’s teaching begins our series on the Ten Commandments by looking at the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me.” Rather than seeing God’s commands as restrictive, we explored how rules for freedom can help us break free from the things that control us and learn to put God first.
What if heaven is more than a distant destination we think about after death? This teaching explores how heaven is centered on Jesus, relationship, community, belonging, and hope, and how we can experience a taste of heaven on earth even while we live in a broken world.
This teaching explored why we worship God and what happens when we recognize who God is and what He has done for us through Jesus. Ephesians 1:3–14 reminds us that we have been chosen, adopted, redeemed, and given an inheritance, giving us a reason to live with gratitude, hope, and praise.
This week’s teaching from Luke 7 invites us to consider what happens when we truly recognize how deeply God loves and forgives us. Gratitude for God’s grace changes the way we see ourselves, other people, and the hope Jesus offers us, reminding us that it is never too late to receive God’s grace and begin again.
This week’s message invited us to consider what it means welcoming everyone like Jesus does. Instead of deciding who belongs and who doesn’t, Jesus calls us to center our lives on Him and extend grace, kindness, and genuine welcome to everyone we meet.
What happens when someone who truly loves us tells us a hard truth? This week’s message explored how welcoming truth tellers is one of the most important steps toward spiritual growth, showing us that God often uses trusted people to reveal our blind spots, deepen our faith, and lead us into greater freedom.
