David was far from perfect—as a matter of fact, he committed adultery and murder. Pastor Colin talks about what made him “a man after God's own heart,” and how you can be a man or a woman after God's own heart too.

In this concluding episode of the Five Blasphemies series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the fifth blasphemy against the Immaculate Heart of Mary—those who insult, mock, or desecrate Mary through her sacred images. They explore the history of iconoclasm, tracing it back to the 7th and 8th centuries, and explain how the Church affirmed the rightful place of sacred images at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787. Barb and Katie also discuss the beauty and purpose of Catholic sacred art, and how images of Mary are meant to lift our hearts and minds to God, not replace worship. They address modern sources of hostility toward Marian images, including godless ideologies and movements that echo this ancient heresy. To close the series, listeners are encouraged to take part in the First Saturday Virtual Pilgrimage, using the First Saturday Passport and Treasures of the First Saturday Devotion as guides for prayer, reparation, and deeper devotion to the Immaculate Heart.

Jesus gave a parable of a farmer planting seed in Mark 4, and He mentioned the kinds of soil where seed can be planted. Three kinds of soil kept the seed from doing well. One kind of soil caused the seed to produce. The four kinds of soil refer to four kinds of people. Which soil are you?

In this fourth part of the Five Blasphemies series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran talk about the serious offense of keeping children away from the Blessed Mother or teaching them to fear or reject her. They share Scripture, personal insights, and experiences that show how the enemy tries to influence children early—and why introducing them to Mary helps form hearts rooted in faith, purity, and protection. They also highlight helpful resources for families: • Fatima Friends Adventure Guide — a fun and meaningful way to teach children about Mary, Fatima, Marian Consecration, and the Fatima children. • Passport + Treasures of the First Saturday Devotion — an $8 set designed to support families and individuals joining the First Saturday Pilgrimage.

How can we make investments that last for eternity? This message from Matthew 6 shows how generosity shifts our hearts from temporary gain to eternal reward. Tune in and be reminded that our investment in gospel work is the only one that lasts forever.
In this episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran continue the series on the five sins that wound the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today they reflect on the blasphemies spoken against Mary's Divine Motherhood, a truth defended by the early Church and proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus. Barb and Katie explain why Mary is rightly called Mother of God, how this dogma protects the truth about Christ's identity, and why denying her Divine Motherhood impacts our understanding of her mission and our faith. They also discuss the roots of this teaching, the Nestorian heresy, and the spiritual importance of honoring Mary as both the Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother. As always, they connect these teachings to the First Saturday devotion and the call to offer reparation through prayer and love. Watch out for Episode 4, where Barb and Katie continue the series with the next sin against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Tithing is meant to be an act of worship. Deuteronomy 14 teaches how tithes help God's people to prioritize Him and care for others. This message explores how generosity begins when we remember that God comes first.

How did a Victorian priest become the first person to scientifically describe a dinosaur, revolutionize paleontology through the study of fossilized poop, and terrify students by shoving hyena skulls in their faces while screaming about stomachs?

The Generous Heart - First Things FirstDeuteronomy 14:22-29Big Idea: God is always teaching His people to put Him first
The Generous Heart - Part 4First Things First | Deuteronomy 14:22-29Key Question: What can we learn from the Old Testament teaching about the tithe?1. Tithing supported the leadership and activity of the Temple2. Tithing provided for widows, fatherless, and foreigners3. Tithing acknowledged God as the owner of all things4. Tithing leads God's people into God's blessing5. Tithing was a set amount - New Covenant giving amounts are less exact6. Tithing was a law-based requirement - New Covenant giving is a heart-level desire
"A Condition of the Heart"Mark 10:13-16Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
Barb Ernster and Katie Moran continue the series on the five sins that wound the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In this episode, they focus on the blasphemies spoken against Mary's Perpetual Virginity—why the Church defends this truth, how it has been taught since the early Church, and why honoring her purity matters in our spiritual lives today. They also reflect on how the First Saturday devotion offers reparation through love, prayer, and deeper understanding of Mary's role in salvation history. Stay tuned for Episode 3, where Barb and Katie discuss the next sin against the Immaculate Heart and continue guiding us through this powerful First Saturday journey.
This message from Luke 12 shows us that life isn't defined by material possessions. Listen as we learn how generosity protects us from being controlled by the things we own.
The Bible tells us that generosity is a natural response to God's love for us. But what do we when giving doesn't feel so natural? For five weeks, we are exploring what it really means to live with a generous heart. By pointing back to Jesus' work on the cross, this series will reveal why generosity and stewardship are integral to the committed Christian life.
We live in a shallow and uprooted society, but as Christians, we can be firmly rooted in our relationship with Christ. In this series, Rooted for Growth, we will discover the nutrients we need to remain spiritually strong. If you don't have a healthy spiritual root system then every part of your life is impacted negatively. Through today's Scriptures we will explore what it means to be a rooted Christian who is growing in the likeness of Jesus Christ.
