From the Apostle Paul's bold stand before the Sanhedrin to Pastor Josh's personal journey through anxiety, this episode unpacks seven practical principles to overcome fear and start living with courage. The pastors also tackle pressing cultural issues, from abortion to immigration offering biblical clarity on justice, compassion, and the role of government.

Does life feel too busy and chaotic to build a strong, healthy family? It's easy to feel like you're just two ships passing in the night—more like roommates than soulmates, or more like chauffeurs than parents. What if the solution isn't about adding more to your already packed schedule? In this message, we discover that a healthy family isn't built in big, grand gestures, but "on the go" in the small, everyday moments that we all have. We explore the powerful idea of choosing to build your family with "stones"—the intentional, lasting habits—instead of "straw," the easy, convenient choices that don't hold up when life gets hard. You'll learn how to replace what you're already doing with better, more connecting habits and how to prepare your family to be unshakeable when the storms of life come.

Anne shares from Hebrews 1.

This is a talk from the Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita series, exploring the possibility of knowing God from the Vedic perspective. Knowing God is indeed possible but requires a transformation of consciousness. Material consciousness is characterized by self-centeredness, whereas spiritual consciousness is a state of manifesting selflessness.In the quest to know God, one must recognize the limitations of our physical senses and mind in perceiving spiritual reality. The ancient teachers of Vedic knowledge describe that which is spiritual with the word adhokṣaja which means "that which is beyond the measurement of our senses." It was acknowledged that spiritual reality is beyond the range of worldly experimental knowledge. The Vedas, however, taught that despite the limitations of the body and mind, God is discoverable, but it requires a major change or purification of our consciousness. In the current age the transformation of consciousness necessary to know God can be achieved through meditation on spiritual sound, particularly through kirtan (congregational chanting).The quotes used in the talk:All of them-as they surrender unto Me-I reward accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā. - Bg 4.11I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency [yoga-māyā]; and so the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible. - Bhagavad-gītā 7.25But you cannot see Me with your present eyes. Therefore I give you divine eyes. Behold My mystic opulence! - Bhagavad-gītā 11.8That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science. - Bhagavad-gītā 4.3The Supreme Lord said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence. - Bhagavad-gītā 9.1Because you are My very dear friend, I am speaking to you the most confidential part of knowledge. Hear this from Me, for it is for your benefit. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.64Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.65The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am. - Bhagavad-gītā 11.53My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding. - Bhagavad-gītā 11.54

Decision-making can feel overwhelming. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember that we often turn to friends, family, or even the internet for guidance—only to end up with conflicting opinions that leave us even more uncertain. While seeking advice can be valuable, Scripture reminds us that we already have access to the best Counselor of all—the Holy Spirit. When Jesus promised the gift of the Spirit, He assured us that believers would never walk alone. The Spirit of truth lives within us, guiding, comforting, and directing our steps. This doesn’t mean every decision will suddenly feel easy, but it does mean we can trust that God will faithfully lead us in the way we should go. As children of God, we don’t have to rely solely on human wisdom. We can lean on the Spirit’s promptings, rest in His peace, and trust that He will never steer us wrong. When we feel paralyzed by uncertainty, let us pause, pray, and remember that the Spirit of God lives in us—ready to counsel us at every crossroads. Today's Bible Reading: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." – John 14:16-17 (NIV) Key Takeaways God has given us the Holy Spirit as our eternal counselor and guide. Seeking human advice can be helpful, but Spirit-led wisdom is always best. Peace in decision-making comes when we surrender to God’s truth and leading. We can face uncertainty with confidence, knowing God’s Spirit is always with us. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are my Wonderful Counselor. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides me in truth and helps me make wise decisions. When I feel uncertain or overwhelmed, remind me to seek Your Spirit first. Lead me in Your will, and give me peace as I trust You to direct my steps. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have you ever wondered why your family feels so dysfunctional, like a bumpy, jarring ride? The truth is, God created family to be a smooth and effective "round wheel".

In this message, we dive into God's divine design for family, revealing the simple, non-obvious reason your home life or marriage may be struggling. You love God first, your spouse second, and yourself third. When we get this order wrong, we bring our own baggage, wounding, and narcissistic tendencies into our most sacred bonds.

In this teaching, we explore the core message of the movie Hook: a man who misplaced his identity and lost his purpose, leaving him hollow, empty, and powerless. Pastor JB argues that this is a timely word for us today, as much of the suffering we experience is the result of misplaced identity in things like career, relationships, and politics. Biblically, this misplaced identity is a form of idolatry that leads to anger, apathy, or aimlessness. The good news is that salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's an identity transformation. When you surrender to Jesus, he redefines you as a new creation and an ambassador for Christ, breaking the cycle of brokenness. This sermon speaks to two groups: those who need boldness in their identity as a Christ-follower and those who need to bow to Jesus for the first time to find their true identity and purpose.

Today we're continuing to look at the Apostle Paul's prayerfor the church, the believers in the church in Ephesus. In this prayer, we findseveral things that Paul prayed for. The first thing we see is that He prayedthat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you thespirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. He prayed that theywould know God.  Thenwe find in verse 18, Paul also prayed, “the eyes of your understanding beingenlightened”. The eyes of your heart, your emotions, your thoughts, yoursoul, your will, in a sense everything about you, would be enlightened, wouldbe open, would have an understanding and know what is the hope of His calling. So,the second thing that Paul is praying for is that we might know God's callingon our lives. This word “called” is an important word in the Christianvocabulary. The Scripture teaches us that the church, the body of Christ, thebelievers, in the Greek is the “ecclesia”. That word is two words which togethermeans the “called-out assembly”.  Thebelievers who are the church, the body of Christ are called out. Now,interesting. We're not just called out of the world, we are called intosomething that is glorious. And that's what Paul's speaking of here. Not onlyare you called out of the world, but you are called out to be a peculiar, aroyal priesthood, a different person from the rest of the world around you. Petersays it this way in 1 Peter 2:9. “But you are a chosen generation, a royalpriesthood, a holy nation, a special people that you may proclaim the praisesof Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Paultold Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:9 that He had a holy calling. Yes, we've beencalled out of darkness into marvelous light and we've also been called toglory. I love this verse in 1 Peter 5:10. “But may the God of all grace whocalled us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus after you suffered a whileperfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be glory and thedominion forever and ever. Amen.” We have been called to glory!  And because of this calling, we can now have ahope that's steadfast and sure, an anchor of our souls (Hebrews 6:19). Theword hope doesn't mean wishful thinking about something. But the word hope inthe scripture means we have a delightful future in Jesus Christ. We have theassurance of that future because of what Jesus Christ did for us on the crossand His resurrection. The believer's hope is tied into the return of JesusChrist as we read in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 John 3:1-3. Our hope isbased on the fact that Jesus promised that one day He will come again for Hisbride the Church.  Beforewe were saved, we were without hope in this world. But now in Christ, accordingto 1 Peter 1:3, we have a living hope. “Blessed be the God and Father of ourLord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again toa living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead”. Howglorious is that? So, we have a hope that's steadfast and sure. It's a livinghope which means it gives us purpose and direction, and encouragement forwhatever we face every day. We have a better tomorrow coming. Oh, that is thehope that we have.  Paulprayed that you would know your calling from God. And this calling from Godgives you hope. I trust you'll take these words into your heart and you'llremember you have something to live for and something to look forward to. Agood verse to close with today is Romans 15:13: “Now may the God of hopefill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope bythe power of the Holy Spirit.”  KnowingGod, you have hope. No God, there is no hope.  Godbless!

Continuing in Ephesians, Pastor Benny unpacks Paul's prayer in 1:15–23. Paul gives thanks for the Ephesians' faith and love, then prays that they would know God more deeply, grow in spiritual wisdom, discover their calling, and walk in the power of Christ's resurrection. This prayer frames the four steps of our spiritual journey: Know God, Grow Together, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference.

“And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us.” 1 John 5:15 God says He will hear us if we ask for things according to His will. How can we know God's will? More specifically, how can we know God's will for our lives? This is such a legitimate question because we all have so many things going on with careers, family, school, we want to be sure we are living our lives in accordance with His will...also, what is God's will for my future?

Do you ever feel stuck, like you're going through the motions alone? In this sermon, Pastor Steve shares a powerful truth: "Without authentic community, we're just in crowded isolation, because getting unstuck is not about what you know, it's about who you're with." This message challenges the lie of a "Me and Jesus" faith, revealing how the enemy uses isolation to keep us stuck and defeated. Drawing on the Book of Acts, Steve shows that the Christian faith is, and always has been, a community faith. When we connect with Jesus and His people, we find the freedom and healing we've been looking for. If you're ready to break free from crowded isolation and experience the power of authentic community, this message is for you.

Whether you're navigating differences in desire, redefining roles, or simply seeking peace and purpose in your marriage, this candid conversation brings clarity, challenge, and hope.  

All knowledge, power, and revelation are entrusted to Christ. Jesus is the sole Mediator. “No one knows the Father except the Son and those he chooses to reveal him to...” The knowledge of God is obtained solely through the Son, and outside of Christ, there is nothing but blindness. Furthermore,the text says, “to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.” This is a decisive statement of effectual calling. The initiative in salvation lies not in man's will, but in Christ's sovereign will.
