In a world that chases likes, followers, and bank account zeros, Jesus flips the script. In Kingdom Currency, we take a look at what actually holds value in God's Kingdom. From acts of generosity to trusting God with tomorrow, this message is all about trading anxiety for peace and applause for purpose. So grab your coffee, lean in, and let's talk about what it means to invest in things that truly last.

In this powerful message based on Matthew 5, we explore Jesus' radical call to purity—not just in action, but in thought and desire. From His words about lust and adultery to His declaration that the pure in heart will see God, Jesus invites us into a deeper, more holistic vision of righteousness. This sermon challenges cultural norms, confronts hidden sin, and offers the hope of a heart transformed by grace. Whether you're struggling, seeking, or standing firm, this message will inspire you to pursue a purity that flows from the inside out.

Anger. Resentment. The desire to get even. Jesus doesn't just call out our actions—He exposes what lies beneath them. In this honest and challenging message, we explore how the root of anger can damage relationships, distort our view of justice, and distance us from God's heart. Through His radical teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus invites us to trade retaliation for reconciliation, and bitterness for love—even love for our enemies. It's not just behavior He wants to change—it's our hearts.

Jesus makes a startling claim: He didn't come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. So what does that mean for us today? In Law and Order, we unpack Jesus' vision of true righteousness—one that goes beyond rule-keeping and dives deep into the heart. This episode challenges the idea that outward behavior is enough and invites us to pursue a life shaped by God's standards, not just religious performance. Discover how the righteousness Jesus describes is both deeper than we thought—and more accessible than we imagined.

Jesus calls His followers the "light of the world"—a bold identity with an even bolder purpose. In this message, we dive into what it truly means to shine in a world that can often feel dark and divided. From city-on-a-hill living to the simple power of good works, we'll explore how our everyday lives can reflect the hope, truth, and love of Christ. You were never meant to blend in. You were made to stand out—for God's glory and the world's good.

What does it mean to live as a citizen of God's kingdom in a world that values power, success, and self-promotion? In this episode, we explore the radical teachings of Jesus in the Beatitudes—His opening words in the Sermon on the Mount. Far from being a list of nice virtues, the Beatitudes outline a countercultural ethic—a Kingdom Ethic—that redefines blessing, strength, and greatness. Join us as we unpack how Jesus calls His followers to be poor in spirit, merciful, pure in heart, and more. It's not just a different way to live—it's the way of the King.

This Sunday, Pastor Brent leads us in discovering how the Holy Spirit gives you boldness, clarity, and power to share Jesus with confidence. It's time to step out—not in fear, but in Spirit-filled strength.
