    James 5:12 calls us out of dishonesty and into a life of honesty shaped by the gospel. Dishonesty often stems from a desire to protect ourselves, control outcomes, or manage how we're perceived—but it ultimately robs us of freedom, intimacy, transformation, and joy. The gospel confronts and exposes our dishonesty, but it also empowers us to live with integrity and truth. Listen as we learn how to let our "yes" be yes and our "no" be no in a way that reflects a heart changed by Christ.

    In the eleventh message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 5:1-11 reminds us that impatience can stir up strife, but patience shapes us into people of strength. Impatience corrupts our perspective, fuels fear, and often hurts others, while patience builds endurance and trust in God's unseen work. Like the bamboo tree that grows strong beneath the surface before it's ever seen, God is growing something in us as we wait. Listen as we learn to trust God's timing and let patience take root.

    This Easter, we're reminded that Jesus doesn't ask questions to confuse or frustrate us—He asks because He's inviting us into something deeper. In John 20:11–18, Jesus tenderly asks Mary, “Why are you crying? Who is it you're seeking?”—questions that echo into our lives today.In this Easter message, Pastor Johnny unpacks three powerful questions Jesus is still asking each of us:Why are you grieving?Who are you seeking?What are you doubting?These aren't meant to shame us—but to meet us in our grief, longing, and doubt with the hope and power of His resurrection. The empty tomb isn't just a moment in history—it's an invitation to believe that Jesus is alive and that He is exactly who He says He is.

    In the eighth message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 3:13-18 reveals that not all wisdom is worth following. The way you live reflects the kind of wisdom you're following—either earthly wisdom rooted in envy and selfish ambition, or heavenly wisdom marked by purity, peace, and humility. True wisdom from above produces a life of gentleness, mercy, and righteousness. Listen as we learn to discern the difference and follow the path that leads to lasting peace.

James gives three strong warnings: our words can control us, consume others, and compromise our character. Whether building up or tearing down, what we say reveals the condition of our hearts. Listen as we explore how a faith-driven discipline, decision-making, and determination can help us speak life instead of destruction.

    In the sixth message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 2:14-26 challenges us to evaluate the authenticity of our faith. Genuine faith isn't just belief—it's belief in action. Faith without works is pointless, powerless, and passive, but true faith works in us and through us. Join us as we explore what it means to live out the gospel with a faith that moves, serves, and reflects the heart of Jesus.

In this message from John 21:1-19, we see that even in our greatest failures, Jesus extends grace and invites us to keep following Him.Peter's story reminds us that failure isn't the end—it's an opportunity to experience God's grace in a deeper way.
