One difficult person, disappointing moment, or stressful situation can quickly begin shaping how we think, speak, and treat the people around us. In this message from Wind in Your Sails, learn why a Christ-like attitude is not about pretending everything is fine or simply thinking positively. Learn how to surrender your thoughts, emotions, and responses to Christ so what happens around you does not control what happens within you.

What do you do when you love God but still feel stuck? In this message from the Wind in Your Sails series, discover how Jesus’ words in John 15:4–5 show us the way forward.

In this message from the By Request series, learn how to depend on the Holy Spirit in everyday life.

Conflict is inevitable—but how we respond to it can change everything. In this final message of the Building Strong Families series, we learn how to handle conflict God’s way instead of reacting the way the world does. Using the story of Jacob and Laban, we discover what it means to choose an altar over a weapon, allow God to transform our hearts first, and stop giving someone else control over our peace. Discover practical ways to approach conflict intentionally, including speaking life, avoiding name-calling and harsh words, focusing on what is good, extending grace, and choosing to act instead of react. Conflict cannot continue without your participation. What would happen if you stopped throwing stones and started building altars?

Your broken places don't have to be the end of your story. They can become the beginning of something new. In this message, we explore God's promise to heal the brokenhearted, rescue those who are crushed, and bring freedom to those who feel trapped. Even in crisis and uncertainty, faith calls us to trust God and surrender the outcome to Him. Believe that He can. Pray that He will. Trust Him—regardless of the outcome. God is still working. He is making a pathway through the wilderness and creating rivers in the dry places. #GodMakesAllThingsNew #NewBeginnings #Healing #Faith #Hope #TrustGod #ChristianSermon

What makes a strong marriage? God's way is different from the world's way. Learn how commitment, covenant and intentional love can strengthen your marriage and family.

In Part 2 of Strong Family, Micah explores the difference between the world's way and God's way of approaching marriage. Instead of searching for someone to complete us, we can allow God to transform us into the kind of spouse and family member others can count on.
