In Part 4 of The Fear of the Lord, we look at Joseph’s life and discover that honoring God isn’t just about what happens in a church service—it’s about recognizing that God is present in every area of our lives. From resisting temptation to faithfully stewarding his gifts, Joseph shows us what it looks like to live with integrity, remain faithful in the ordinary, and give God the glory when opportunity comes. Church gatherings are the huddle, but our everyday lives are the game. The question is: Am I honoring God when nobody is checking on me? ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE? We'd love to connect with you.

The Fear of the Lord | Part 3: Cornelius — The Fruit of Fearing the Lord The fear of the Lord is not meant to crush us, but to bring us to restoration and honor. In Part 3 of The Fear of the Lord series, we explore the story of Cornelius, a Roman centurion whose reverence for God was evident in his prayers, generosity, and everyday life. Through his encounter with Peter in Acts 10, we discover that God sees sincere devotion, calls us beyond our comfort zones, and invites us into something greater than we could imagine. Cornelius’s story reminds us that a reverent heart remains responsive to God—and when we honor Him, we have the privilege of becoming part of His unfolding story. God has more for you! ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE? We'd love to connect with you.

The Fear of the Lord | Part 2: The Madness of Self-Worship What happens when we forget that God is God and begin to believe our own greatness? In Part 2 of The Fear of the Lord series, we look at the story of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4 and discover how pride can blind us to our dependence on God. Through the king’s humbling experience, we learn that self-sufficiency is an illusion, pride has consequences, and true peace begins when we acknowledge God’s sovereignty. The fear of the Lord calls us to look up, walk in humility, and recognize that everything we have comes from Him. And the good news? God is not just a God who humbles us—He is a God who restores us when we turn back to Him. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

We Do Our Part | God Does His is a reminder that faithfulness begins with us staying true to God’s Word and faithful to His call, while trusting God to transform hearts. Following Jesus comes with a cost, but we are called to surrender every condition, compartment, and complacency that keeps us from wholehearted obedience. Our role is to faithfully preach and live the gospel, pursue spiritual maturity, and trust God to do what only He can do—change lives. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

Kingdom Community challenges us to see how the supremacy of Christ transforms the way we relate to people who are different from us. Through Colossians 4 and the story of Onesimus and Philemon, we discover that the gospel calls us beyond our comfort zones, affinities, and cultural boundaries into a Kingdom Community where we don’t choose who sits at the table. The Lord’s Table has assigned seating—and following Jesus means making room for others, pursuing reconciliation, and allowing our theology to move from our heads and hearts into the way we actually live. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In this message, we explore a biblical approach to money: **earn faithfully, spend intentionally, save consistently, invest wisely, and give generously.** We’ll look at how debt can steal from our future, why contentment and delayed gratification matter, and why saving and investing are acts of wise stewardship. Because wealth isn't simply what you make—**wealth is what you don't spend.** Every season won't look like today. **When you're in your summer, prepare for your winter.** ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

Unrivaled: Part 13 closes our journey through Colossians with a powerful reminder that following Jesus was never meant to be lived in isolation. Paul’s final greetings reveal a diverse community of believers who knew one another, served one another, prayed for one another, and carried one another through both triumph and hardship. From vulnerability and accountability to spiritual encouragement and stepping beyond our familiar circles, we discover that when Christ is truly preeminent in our lives, He draws us into a meaningful community—where we are known, challenged, strengthened, and encouraged to fulfill the purposes God has placed on our lives. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 12 of UnRivaled, we explore Colossians 4:5-6 and the importance of tending to what is happening inside of us. Paul calls us to walk in wisdom, redeem our time, and allow our words to be filled with grace—but Jesus reminds us that what comes out of our mouths ultimately reveals what is happening in our hearts. Through the picture of the thorny soil, we discover that spiritual fruitfulness isn't just about receiving God's Word; it's about faithfully removing the things that compete with it. People may influence us, hurt us, and create difficult circumstances, but we are responsible for tending the “thorns” that grow within our own hearts. New scenery won't give us a new heart—only the transforming work of God can do that. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 11 of UnRivaled, we explore Colossians 4:2-4 and discover what it means to keep moving forward with Jesus, even after disappointment, failure, or spiritual setbacks. Paul calls us to continue earnestly in prayer, remain spiritually vigilant, and cultivate a life of thanksgiving—not simply for what God does, but for who God is. Through the picture of a basketball coach calling “Next Play!”, we’re reminded that grace doesn’t leave us stuck in yesterday; it gets us back in the game and keeps us moving in the direction of Jesus. We also look at Paul’s powerful request for prayer that God would open doors for the Gospel, reminding us that our greatest opportunities are divinely orchestrated and that some things only God can do. Take a nap, get back up, and continue on with Jesus—there’s still a next play. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 10 of UnRivaled, we explore what happens when the Kingdom of God permeates every area of our lives—not just our spiritual lives, but our work, relationships, decisions, and everyday routines. Through Jesus’ picture of leaven in Luke 13 and Paul’s teaching in Colossians 3–4, we discover that God’s work in us is often quiet and gradual, yet relentless, transforming us from the inside out. Paul challenges us to see our work as worship, reject compartmentalized Christianity, and allow Christ’s lordship to shape how we treat people and conduct ourselves in the marketplace. The call is simple but challenging: withhold nothing from God, follow Him fully, and let His Kingdom transform every part of your life. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In this message, Pastor Samuel Goodman challenges us to consider the question, “How Then Shall We Live?” Drawing from 2 Peter 1:12–15, he reminds us of the power of being continually grounded in truth and points us toward three essential foundations for living faithfully: faith, trusting God, and the Word of God. In a time when our world is constantly changing, we are called to live by faith, trust in God’s faithfulness, and build our lives on His Word—the foundation and manual for how we live. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 9 of UnRivaled, we explore Colossians 3:12-21 and what it looks like to live out our new identity in Christ through the way we treat the people around us. Paul reminds us that who we are in Christ should directly inform how we behave, calling us to compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and above all, love—the bond that holds the body of Christ together. We also discover the powerful invitation to “let” God's peace rule in our hearts and His Word dwell richly within us, recognizing that while we cannot manufacture spiritual transformation, we can choose to yield control to God. Finally, Paul brings the gospel into the home, challenging husbands, wives, parents, and children to make their relationships a living expression of Christ's lordship. Because at home is where it matters most—if Christ is truly Lord of our lives, His presence should be most evident in the way we love, serve, forgive, and treat the people closest to us. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 8 of UnRivaled, we begin our journey through Colossians 3 and discover what it truly means to live from our new identity in Christ. Paul challenges us to set our minds on the realities of heaven, put to death the sinful patterns of our old life, and intentionally put on the character of Jesus, reminding us that spiritual transformation is fueled by God's grace and empowered through our daily surrender. Together we'll explore how to starve the sinful nature, cultivate Christlike character, and embrace the ongoing process of becoming more like Jesus, so that every thought, word, relationship, and action reflects the One whose image we now bear. This episode is a call to stop being defined by who we were and start living as the new creation Christ has already made us to be. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 7 of UnRivaled, we continue through Colossians 2:18-23 and explore the danger of losing the reward of an authentic life in Christ by becoming entangled in man-made religion, counterfeit spirituality, and religious rules that appear wise but have no power to transform the heart. Paul warns us that anything that eclipses Christ—whether mystical experiences, self-denial, human philosophy, or spiritual systems built on human wisdom—can quietly lead us away from the One who alone gives life and growth to His people. We discover that true spiritual growth happens one way: by abiding in Christ. Like branches connected to the vine, we are nourished by remaining in continual communion with Jesus—not by performing for God, but by resting in who He is and what He has already done. This episode is a call to reject spiritual mixtures, refuse counterfeit religion, remain connected to Christ the Head, and discover that lasting transformation comes not from trying harder, but from abiding deeper. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 6 of Unrivaled, we explore the radical nature of salvation and the complete sufficiency of the cross. Through Colossians 2:11-17, Paul reveals that salvation is not simply self-improvement or religious behavior modification—it is a divine incision, where Christ cuts away the dominion of our sinful nature and raises us to new life. We discover that the cross has canceled the record of our debt, forgiven our sins, and publicly defeated every spiritual power that stood against us. But Paul also warns us not to return to religious shadows or allow external practices to become the measure of our righteousness. Whether it is traditions, preferences, spiritual disciplines, or religious observances, none of them can rival the finished work of Jesus. This episode asks a searching question: Are the things we practice helping us see Jesus more clearly—or have they quietly become substitutes for Jesus Himself? ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?
