In this message from the Power of the Mind series, we explore what it means to think pure and how the thoughts we entertain can shape our lives. Using Philippians 4:8 and the story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11, we discover that while we can’t always control our first thought, we can choose our second thought. Temptation itself isn’t the same as giving in, but what we choose to dwell on can lead us toward or away from God’s plan for our lives. Through practical steps like interrupting unhealthy thoughts, questioning where they lead, replacing impure thoughts with godly ones, refusing to feed temptation, and moving away from situations that lead us astray, we can learn to protect our minds and pursue purity. Because what fills your mind will eventually shape your life. Check out the YouVersion Bible App and our sermon notes at the link below. http://bible.com/events/49670380

What fills your mind will eventually shape your life. In this first message of the Power of the Mind series, we look at Paul’s challenge in Philippians 4:8 to think about what is true. Our thoughts have tremendous power, but not every thought we have is true—and the enemy can use deception to make lies feel like reality. Through the story of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, we see how Jesus responded to every lie with the truth of God’s Word. This message challenges us to identify the lies we believe, replace those lies with Scripture, and repeat God’s truth until it becomes more familiar than the deception. The battle for our lives often begins with the battle for our minds, and when we fill our minds with what is true, God can transform the way we live.

In this message from the Joseph series, we discover that God is always writing a bigger story than the one we can currently see. As Joseph encounters his brothers years after they betrayed him, we see the power of secrets being brought into the light and how revealing what has been hidden can lead to healing. Through Joseph’s journey, we learn the importance of being who God created us to be, being honest about our fears, and taking responsibility for our mistakes. This message reminds us that truth brings freedom and that God can use even our deepest wounds and most difficult moments to bring restoration and redemption.

What does it really mean to be a leader? In this message from our Joseph series, we discover that leadership isn't about titles, positions, or recognition—it's about faithfully stewarding what God has placed in our hands. Looking at Joseph's rise to leadership in Genesis 41, we explore four practical principles for leading well: paying attention to what captures our focus, learning to say no to good things so we can say yes to God's best, releasing pressure by relying on God's presence, and cultivating a heart of gratitude. Whether you lead at home, at work, in ministry, or simply through your everyday influence, this message will challenge you to embrace God's bigger story and steward every opportunity He gives you.

Have you ever felt forgotten—overlooked by others, waiting on unanswered prayers, or wondering if God still sees you? In this episode, we continue our series on Joseph by exploring one of the most difficult chapters of his life: the years he spent forgotten in prison. Through Genesis 40, we'll discover that while people may forget us, God never does. What feels like a season of delay may actually be God's preparation for something greater. Join us as we learn how to remain faithful while we wait, remember that we're planted—not buried—and trust that God is still writing a bigger story than the one we can currently see.

In Part 2 of our Joseph series, we explore one of the most relatable challenges every believer faces—temptation. Following Joseph’s journey in Genesis 39, we see how a young man who had already endured betrayal, slavery, and disappointment now faces a powerful test of character. Joseph’s story reminds us that temptation itself is not sin; it is a test that reveals what is in us and what God wants to develop through us. When faced with the advances of Potiphar’s wife, Joseph chose faithfulness over convenience, integrity over compromise, and God’s purpose over temporary pleasure. This message challenges us to view temptation through a different lens—not as proof of weakness, but as an opportunity for growth. We’ll learn how Joseph kept the important things important, protected his integrity, and trusted God even when doing the right thing led to difficult circumstances. If you’ve ever wondered why obedience can sometimes seem harder than compromise, Joseph’s story offers hope and encouragement: God is still working, even when life doesn’t make sense. Join us as we discover how passing the test of character prepares us for the bigger story God is writing in our lives.
