Shame keeps us stuck. Truth sets us free. Grace makes us whole. Join us as we unpack God’s purpose for sex, confront the lies of shame, and discover the healing that comes when truth and grace meet.

AI can give answers, but only Jesus can transform hearts. In this message, we explore how God alone possesses perfect wisdom, why the Holy Spirit is essential for understanding truth, and how we can keep technology from replacing our dependence on Him. 1 Corinthians 2:1-13 | Isaiah 55:8-9 | Romans 12:2 #UpstateSC #FaithAndTechnology #ArtificialIntelligence #FoothillsCommunityChurch #Sundaysermon

Under the InfluenceWhose voice gets the first word, the most words, and the last word in your life? In a world full of competing influences, the cross of Christ stands as God's wisdom, power, and invitation to true life

Two sons. One wandered far away. One stayed home but drifted just as far. Somewhere between duty and desire, we can lose sight of the Father's heart.In this message from Luke 15, we are challenged to ask: Have I traded the Father's mission for my own priorities? And do I still rejoice when the lost come home?What was lost can be found again.

Jesus overturned tables because the mission mattered more than the marketplace. Nothing should stand in the way of people finding and following Him. Yet good things can become obstacles, comfort can become isolation, and division can damage the mission. Jesus calls His church to clear the way, make room for those far from God, and join His rescue mission by helping people find and follow Him. Who is God calling you to help bring closer to Jesus today?

Two Criminal's beside Jesus on the cross. One saw Jesus clearly and one didn't.

Don't just stand in the crowd. Reach. One woman reached through her pain. One father held onto faith through heartbreak. In a world full of answers that don't heal, Jesus still meets the desperate, restores the broken, and speaks life where others see no hope. Your suffering is not beyond His reach.

Are you being pulled away from Jesus without even realizing it?Martha became so distracted by what needed to be done that she missed the opportunity to simply be with Jesus.

What happens when we stop looking down on others and start looking up to Jesus?In Luke 7, a Pharisee and a woman encounter Jesus in the same room. But they walk away completely different. One thought he had done enough. The other understood how much she had been forgiven.

In Genesis 26, Isaac returned to the wells his father Abraham had dug—wells that had been buried by jealousy, conflict, and time. Instead of focusing on the dirt, he went looking for the water. This message is a reminder to honor what God has done before you, recognize how far His grace has already brought you, and keep digging so the next generation can drink from what God is doing today. Beneath every obstacle, every disappointment, and every setback, God is still the source of living water. Don't spend your life staring at the dirt. Keep digging. There's water underneath

Here Comes Trouble What we hide becomes trouble, but what we confess can become hope. In Joshua 7, Achan buried what should have been surrendered—and what was hidden in his tent eventually came to light. This message explores the danger of concealed sin, the freedom found in confession, and the grace Jesus offers to make us right with God. Freedom Starts Here:• Name it – Be honest about what's hiding in the dark.• Bring it to God – His light exposes, but His grace restores.• Tell the right person – Healing grows in trusted community.• Remove access – Starve what keeps pulling you back.• Make it right – Repentance is more than regret; it's a new direction. What is buried in your tent?

When David found himself weary and running for his life, Barzillai set a table. Not a small gesture, but an extravagant one. He showed kindness for a king who had nothing to offer in return. Scandalous hospitality meets people at their worst moment and gives more than they deserve. It refuses to let a difficult season become the final chapter of someone's story. The table Barzillai set in the wilderness became a legacy that outlived him. And it reminds us that sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer is simple, undeserved grace.

Jesus went through Samaria on purpose. Not for a crowd, but for one woman carrying a jar and a lifetime of thirst. At a well in the middle of an ordinary day, she met the Messiah. He saw her story, offered living water, and changed everything. She came carrying a jar. She left carrying a testimony. Leaving the jar behind, she ran to tell everyone what Jesus had done. Some encounters change everything. Leave the jar. Come and see.

Maintain Your Heading It’s easy to drift—one distraction, one compromise at a time. But God calls us back to center. “Love must be sincere… cling to what is good… keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” (Romans 12:9–11 NIV) This message is a call to realign—to examine your life, refocus, and choose consistency from this day forward. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:12)Live in harmony… as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans 12:16, 18) No matter what comes—“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21 NIV) Stay steady. Stay rooted.Maintain your heading.

We can know about God and still remain distant. There comes a moment when knowing is no longer enough—when belief must become surrender. This message tells a story shaped by grace: that we have all fallen short, yet God met us in our sin with love. Through Christ, what was broken is offered new life. To those who believe and receive Him, He gives a new identity—children of God.The invitation is simple, but the decision is personal: to accept, to choose, to follow.
