This is the first of two Father's Day messages from the MTN church. Steve Beason shares a personal and honest reflection on God's design for men, fathers, and husbands. Through Scripture, life experience, and years of men's ministry, Steve challenges men not simply to provide or protect, but to become a “portal” of God's love into their families—reflecting the heart of Jesus through humility, faithfulness, and intentional love. This message invites men to say yes to God's shaping work and to lead their homes with the kind of love that helps others understand the Father's love more clearly.

Find out what it truly means to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ, why we must fight for our marriages rather than against each other, and how the grace of the Gospel acts like a figure skating duo—when one falls, the other extends a hand of grace. Whether you are married, single, or preparing for the future, this message will challenge and encourage you.

Adrian continues our series in Ephesians..
On this Father's Day, we turn to God's Word to examine His design for husbands and fathers. In a culture filled with competing voices and opinions about family, Scripture provides clear instruction for what it means to lead, love, and serve in a way that honors Christ.From Ephesians, we explore the foundational role of being filled with the Spirit and how that shapes every aspect of a man's life—from his marriage to his parenting. This message highlights the daily commitments of a godly husband and father, calling men to yield to God's Spirit, love sacrificially, pursue holiness, care for their families, and faithfully raise their children in the truth.Whether you're a father, husband, future husband, or simply seeking to understand God's design for the family, this sermon offers both encouragement and challenge as we look to Christ as the ultimate example of servant-hearted leadership and love.

What kind of environment are you creating in your home right now?

Build a home where God is honored and your family can thrive.
Is your home marked by tension or by joy and peace? Pastor Jeff Schreve teaches from Ephesians 5 that everything changes when each person is controlled by the Holy Spirit. He shows how a Spirit-filled life produces love, gratitude, and unity in the home. This episode connects spiritual surrender with everyday family life. Invite the Spirit to take control and watch your home come alive.
This week, we were blessed to have guest preacher Mike Kwiatkowski from Mercy Hill Church with us as he taught from Ephesians 5:1–2. Mike challenged us to imitate God by walking in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. We were reminded that the Christian life is not simply about knowing the truth, but about reflecting the character of Christ in the way we live and love others. This passage calls us to follow Jesus' example of sacrificial love every day.Text: Ephesians 5:1–2 Recorded: June 7, 2026

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the scriptures one day at a time. On this June 9th episode, we find strength and hope in God's Word as Hunter, your Bible reading coach, leads us through readings from Ecclesiastes 10-12, Psalm 94, and Ephesians 5. Today's passages remind us of the sweetness of living in God's light, call us to wise and loving living, and invite us to anchor our days in thankfulness, humility, and faith. Gather with believers from around the world as we warm our hearts by the fire of God's love, pray together, and are reminded of the joy and strength we find in Christ—because above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Children of light, that is what you are. The light is sweet. How pleasant to see a new day dawning. Ecclesiastes 11:7. And Paul wants us to know the sweet light of a new day that is found in Christ. His favor and kindness are there for us on this new day. And how sweet that is—a new day of hope, a new day of life. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have the light of the Lord. So live as people of the light. From our reading in Ephesians, if you want to taste the sweetness of this light, it's going to take careful determination. Verse 10 says, Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. We must be careful to put away the darkness of our past regrets, shame, resentments, and determine to apply the Gospel light to our heart each day. That light comes from the Lord. So let us come to Jesus each day, determining to participate and join in the life that is now ours in him. Through Christ we are able to find strength to vanquish the lies that are told about God, that He is distant and separate from us. No, the light of Christ reveals His presence and His nearness. The light of Christ reveals His embrace. In the light of His loving embrace, we are able to honor and prefer one another. We are able to submit to one another. We are able to lay down our lives for one another. When we do that, it will indeed be a sweet and hopeful day. The wise man of Ecclesiastes said, light is sweet. How pleasant to see a new day dawning. So taste the sweetness of the life we have in Christ. Determine to love others. Let the love of Christ vanquish the dark lies of separation and distance. And determine to love through the power of Christ, laying down your life in order to experience his life. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “submission”—and why does it feel so uncomfortable? In this message, we step into Paul's call to a countercultural life of mutual submission, where love expresses itself through humility, service, and choosing the interests of others over our own. Rooted in the example of Christ and empowered by God's grace, this kind of community becomes a powerful witness to the world. The question is simple but searching: where is God inviting you to lay yourself down so that others might be lifted up?
