Money has a way of influencing more of our lives than we realize. It shapes our decisions, our priorities, and sometimes even our relationships. But what happens when we start allowing money to determine what matters most? That's the conversation we're having in this week's message.

The world has a lot to say about sex. So does the Bible. And sometimes those messages couldn't be more different. This week's message takes an honest look at sex, dating, and what the Bible says about creating healthy relationships.

There's a version of church where you show up, consume something, go home, and repeat. And then there's a version that actually changes the way you live. This message explains why First Church is intentionally trying to become the second kind.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do, but something still feels off? This message explores why we drift, what pulls us off course, and where lasting peace actually begins.

Most people don't reject heaven—they just don't think about it because this life has captured their hearts. Jesus teaches that heaven isn't primarily about a place; it's about being with Him, and the things we love most often reveal where our hearts already are.

Ever looked at someone else's faith and wondered if you're doing it wrong? Jesus actually addressed this exact question. This message explores why following Him can look different from person to person—and what really matters in a growing relationship with God.

Have you stopped dreaming because disappointment, fear, or the weight of life convinced you not to hope anymore? This message is a call to let God awaken your imagination, restore your hope, and help you see what your life—and His Church—could become when you fully trust Him.

Maybe you still believe in God, but your faith feels stuck. You pray, go to church, and try to do the right things, but you don’t feel as close to Jesus as you once did. In this message, we’ll look at why that happens—and how Jesus calls us into a deeper, more mature faith.

Sometimes the easiest person to fool is ourselves. In this message, we look at the difference between a faith that looks real and one that actually changes the direction of your life.

Why does life feel busier than ever but somehow less alive? This message looks at a few things quietly stealing our attention and leaving us disconnected from what matters most.

What if the part of worship we talk about the most is actually the smallest part? This message challenges some of the assumptions we’ve picked up about worship and asks a bigger question about how we’re living.

Many people believe they’re too far gone to change, while others think saying the right things is enough. Jesus’ parable of the two sons shows that what matters isn’t what we say—it’s whether we’re willing to change our minds, turn toward God, and take a step of obedience.

None of us asks for difficult seasons, but all of us eventually face them. This message explores how our hardest moments don’t have to define us—and why they may be shaping us more than we realize.

Most people can handle life when things are going well. The real test comes when everything feels uncertain and people are looking for answers. This Father’s Day we explore what leadership looks like in difficult moments and where real strength comes from when we’re running low.

Many people have great intentions when they read the Bible, but somewhere along the way, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. This message challenges people to stop treating faith like information consumption and start treating it like something meant to be lived.
