As we reflect on Reformation Sunday, we give thanks for the reformers who fought to put Scripture into everyday language. But the Bible isn't just a book to be read—it is the only book you will ever read where you can talk to the Author while reading it. In Part 4 of 40 Days in the Word, we unpack the principle of spiritual illumination: letting the Holy Spirit show you the true meaning of God’s Word and how to apply it to your life today. Through four biblical stories (Hagar, Balaam, Elisha, and the Road to Emmaus), discover the benefits of having your spiritual eyes opened and the five practical steps to receive God's guidance every day. 📖 Week 3 Memory Verse: James 1:22 — "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

Most of us know we should study the Bible, but few of us were ever taught how. In Week 1 of 40 Days in the Word, we open with a quick video introduction from Pastor Rick Warren sharing an honest reflection: growing up, he heard hundreds of sermons telling him what to do, but rarely how to study Scripture for himself. Following that intro, our message dives into bridging that exact gap. We kick off a 6-week journey exploring foundational truths about where the Bible came from, why we can trust it, and practical methods you can use to study God's Word on your own and live it out every day. 📖 DAILY DEVOTIONAL VIDEOS (5–7 MINS) Keep the momentum going all week long!

Whether you’re debating LeBron vs. Jordan or Popeyes vs. Chick-fil-A, everyone has an opinion! But when it comes to living a life of true purpose and holding our community together, Jesus stands completely alone.   Today we're talking: "Jesus is the G.O.A.T." We will walk through Matthew 22, where Jesus stripped away religious complexity and gave us the two greatest commandments: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.   #JesusIsTheGOAT #GreatestCommandment #LifeInCommunity #14DaysOfLove#OnlineChurch   Worship Notes on YouVersion    First time joining online?

Life comes at you fast! From the 2-mph pace of hanging out with a toddler to the 30-mph alpine descents of the Tour de France, life is full of sudden shifts, steep climbs, and unexpected curves. In this segment of Pastor’s Corner on Heartfelt Mornings, Pastor Tom sits down with co-hosts Burch and Lisa to share fresh stories from his recent trip overseas—including catching the Tour de France live—and connects them to the ancient "road songs" found in the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134). Join Pastor Tom, Burch, and Lisa as they explore what happens when your best-laid plans crash out, how to find spiritual safety nets when life gets complicated, and why staying in the "peloton" (community) is essential for surviving the steepest parts of the journey. 🎙️ About Heartfelt Mornings & Pastor’s Corner: Join Burch, Lisa, and area pastors on Heartfelt Radio for warm, grounded conversations, practical biblical teaching, and real talk to encourage your daily walk.
