“No offense, but…” usually means offense is coming. We’ve all said the wrong thing or heard the right thing said the wrong way. Words can heal or harm, build up or break down. Jesus didn’t just speak truth, He lived it with grace, compassion, and intentionality. This message helps us rethink how we speak—to pause, check our hearts, and use our words to bring life, not just opinions. Whether it’s behind a keyboard, in a conversation, or in conflict, how we speak reveals what’s in our hearts. Let’s talk about how to hold onto truth and love. Jesus didn’t crush people with honesty. He changed them with it.

Jesus didn’t avoid the messy. He moved toward it. He wasn’t afraid of being guilty by association because He brought grace by association. He shared meals with sinners, welcomed the outcasts, and called the unlikely. He saw potential where others saw problems. He didn’t wait for people to clean up before coming to Him. He invited them first, and transformation followed. How do we treat the people the world tends to avoid? This message will challenge us to open doors, extend real invitations, and love people the way Jesus did without condition and without fear.

Jesus didn’t occasionally participate in the sabbath, it was part of his rhythm and routine. Jesus not only understood the importance of rest but that intimacy with and dependence on God is non-negotiable. Jesus “often” withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. It was his “custom” to partake in the Sabbath. Jesus didn’t lean into urgency, but intimacy. He was rooted in dependence on the father and so should we! How do we prioritize rest and true dependence on God? This message will teach all of us how to make rest and intimacy with God part of our routine every day and every week.

What if the problem isn’t Jesus—but the way we've misrepresented Him? In this powerful message, we explore the radical humility of Jesus: a leader who knelt to wash feet, carried betrayal without bitterness, and submitted fully to the will of the Father. True leadership doesn’t impress. It serves. Real transformation begins when we stop performing and start obeying. Humility means submitting to God and serving others. That’s where real freedom begins.

True love inspires true obedience. Jesus wasn’t obedient to the will of the father because it was his obligation or duty. He was obedient because he truly loved the Father. It’s not possible to live in willing disobedience and simultaneously love the father with everything we’ve got. How can we live more like Jesus and choose loving obedience? The Father’s kindness leads us to repentance and his invitation isn’t expired if you’ve got breath in your lungs and a beating heart!

If you allow the Holy Spirit to guide your life, you won’t do what the sinful nature craves Jesus set an example of a life led by the Spirit. He lived a life of complete obedience and we are called to do the same It’s impossible to live your God-given purpose on your own strength and power. The Spirit will always lead us to Jesus and others. This message will help you see how to live in that same strength We also celebrate life change through baptism and testimonies of death to life!

Jesus had all of the physical attributes of you and I as a human being. What was Jesus PASSIONATE about? What really MATTERED to him? What if you were to wrap God around every passion of yours? Your purpose in life will always be tied to something that matters to the heart of God, and nothing matters more to him than people How can we combine our passions with God’s passion for people? How can we share in that passion for reaching others? Ask God today to give you a desire and wake within you the passion for reaching others!

Joy isn’t found in holding on—it’s found in letting go. You weren’t created to live with clenched fists. You were made to give, to trust, and to worship with your whole life. Do you feel stuck in worry, anxiety, or frustration? Do you want to experience more peace, more clarity, more joy? God’s Word makes it clear: joy-filled living begins with joy-filled giving. It’s time to take a step of faith. Let God change your heart, and watch how He changes your life.
