Ephesians 1:3-6 teaches that before believers can truly thrive, their souls must be anchored in the unshakable reality of God's love rather than drifting into fear, old wounds, or worldly influences. The passage reveals that God's love is not impulsive or reactive like human emotion but flows from His eternal choice, rooted in His unchanging nature and His unbreakable commitment to His Son, Jesus Christ. Because this love rests on Christ's perfect faithfulness, not human worthiness, it is steadfast, immovable, and secure in both success and failure. This anchoring love stands in contrast to the manipulations of the enemy, who tempts believers to define themselves by what they do, what they have, or how others see them. Instead, Scripture calls Christians to abide in God's love—through awareness of their thoughts, slowing down in prayer and Scripture, and experiencing the echoes of His love through the community of faith. Ultimately, Ephesians 1 shows that God's sovereign, chosen love is the anchor strong enough to hold believers steady through weakness, trial, and temptation, providing them with lasting security, belonging, and blessing.

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to bring heaven to earth? Pastor Dave unveils a powerful vision of living out Matthew 28's Great Commission right here in Northwest Indiana. Through compelling stories of transformed lives—like Neil and Marissa's journey from addiction to freedom—he shows how Jesus' authority empowers everyday disciples to make kingdom impact. Whether you're feeling stuck in your past or unsure of your purpose, this message ignites hope by revealing the same power that raised Christ lives in you! Don't miss this inspiring start to the "As It Is In Heaven" series that will revolutionize how you view your role in God's mission.Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

The journey through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-16 reveals a radical call to live differently from the world. From the very beginning, God's desire has been for His people to be set apart, not conforming to the patterns of those around them. This call to distinctiveness is not about outward appearances or mere religious activity, but about a deep, inner transformation that begins with recognizing our spiritual poverty. When we acknowledge our need for God, we open ourselves to His kingdom and His rule in our lives.This path continues as we mourn our sinfulness, coming to a genuine realization of our brokenness and need for grace. Such mourning leads to meekness—a full yielding of our will to God, much like a well-trained horse that surrenders to its rider. This surrender is not weakness, but strength under control, directed by the Master. As we yield, a hunger and thirst for righteousness grows within us, a longing to please God and live according to His standards rather than our own desires.Mercy then flows from a heart that has received mercy. Instead of judgment, we extend compassion, remembering our own journey and longing for others to experience the same freedom. Purity of heart follows—a single-minded devotion to God, free from hypocrisy and pretense. Even as we strive for this purity, honesty about our struggles keeps us humble and real.Peacemaking becomes a natural outflow of this transformed life, as we live in the peace Christ brings and seek to reconcile others to Him. Yet, living this way often brings persecution. When we no longer fit into the world's mold, our changed lives can provoke resistance, even from those closest to us. But this is a mark of true discipleship.Jesus calls us salt and light. Salt preserves and flavors, but it also stings when it touches a wound—our lives may prick the consciences of those around us. Light exposes and guides, and we are not to hide it out of fear or shame. Instead, we are to let our light shine, openly living out our faith so that others may see and glorify God. The challenge is clear: Is there a visible difference in our lives? Are we salty? Is our light on? May we have the courage to live out this calling, empowered by Christ within us.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we do as humans—yet it's also one of the most powerful. In this message from Matthew 18, Pastor unpacks Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant and reminds us that we owed a debt we could never repay, but God forgave us completely. Because of His mercy, we are called to extend forgiveness to others—not just once or twice, but over and over again. Whether in marriage, family, or friendships, true freedom comes when we choose to forgive. This sermon challenges us to let go of bitterness, embrace grace, and never give up on the relationships that matter most.

Our Fall teaching series from our According to Paul year-long study begins today when Pastor Dave introduces us to our approach to reading Romans.

Have you ever felt like your prayers are hitting a dead zone, with no signal getting through to heaven? In a powerful message on unanswered prayer, Pastor Dave reveals how our choices and subscriptions can create spiritual interference. Drawing from Jeremiah 33, he unpacks how God eagerly desires to "show great and mighty things" in response to our prayers—but sins and intentional wrong choices (iniquities) can block the connection. Through practical biblical wisdom and candid insights, this message offers hope and clear steps to restore your prayer life. Watch now to discover how to clear the static and experience God's dynamic answers to your prayers.Jeremiah 33:1 33 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and [b]mighty things, which you do not know.'Isaiah 59:1-2 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened,That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy,That it cannot hear.2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you,So that He will not hear.Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,The Lord will not hear.James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.1 John 5:14-15 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.Matthew 17:14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”Hebrew 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Proverbs 28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,Even his prayer is an abomination.

Salvation belongs to our God!

Pastor Steve, Pastor Dave, and SAM Michelle discuss the gift of baptism, the responsibilities it brings, and how it fits in our understanding of salvation.

In this message from John 8, we explore one of the most powerful encounters Jesus ever had—a moment when an angry mob came ready to condemn, but left silenced by grace. Pastor unpacks what it means to pursue purity in a culture filled with temptation, showing us how God's design for intimacy is both a gift and a guardrail for our hearts. Whether you're single, dating, or married, this sermon reminds us that Jesus doesn't condemn us—He calls us to freedom, mercy, and a life of holiness.

(Matthew 18:21-35) This week we explore Jesus' radical teaching on forgiveness from Matthew 18:21–35, showing that forgiveness is the very heartbeat of the Kingdom of God. While our culture increasingly resists forgiveness, demanding justice without mercy, Jesus reframes the conversation by revealing that forgiveness is not about ignoring sin or minimizing consequences but about paying the debt ourselves, just as the King in the parable did for his servant. True forgiveness cannot be earned, nor is it based on feelings- it flows from the unlimited forgiveness we have received in Christ. By attuning our hearts to the Father's mercy, we not only experience healing in our own lives but also gain the power to forgive others, even those we thought we could never forgive.

Pastor Dave gave us 3 ways that Jesus provides hope for troubled hearts. 

Pastor Dave takes us through the book of Obadiah. While the book itself is small, it's content on God's response to pride, is not. We are challenged to seek the Lord and have Him search our hearts for these areas of pride. May we guard our hearts of this sin, and follow Jesus with all humility.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In Luke 12:13–21, Jesus delivers a powerful warning that speaks directly to the heart of our modern struggles. A man in the crowd asks Jesus to intervene in an inheritance dispute, but Jesus uses the moment to reveal a deeper truth: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” From there, He tells the parable of the rich fool—a man whose barns overflowed with grain, who felt secure enough to say to his soul, “Relax, eat, drink, be merry.” Yet God called him a fool, because his soul was required that very night. The man lived full of himself, full of his possessions, but had no room for God or for others. This sermon, preached by Pastor Dave Nelson, dives into the human tendency to equate life with what we can gain, hold, or achieve. Whether it's money, success, pleasure, or recognition, we all have areas where we think, “If I only had this, then I'd finally be fulfilled.” But Jesus confronts that mindset head-on. True life—“zoe” in the Greek—does not come from possessions, prestige, or pleasure. It comes from God Himself, who is life and who offers His life freely to us in Christ. Through vivid stories, including modern examples of crowds trampling others for sales or surging dangerously at concerts, Pastor Dave reveals the universal human drive for more. He explains how our very biology, with dopamine spikes driving desire, feeds into this restless pursuit. Yet no matter how much we acquire, it never satisfies for long. The longing simply resets, demanding more. Jesus warns that this cycle is dangerous and destructive, because it robs us of the life God intended—a life rooted not in accumulation but in love, generosity, and relationship with Him. This message challenges us to examine what truly fills our hearts. Are we full of ourselves, thinking only of “I will” and “my possessions”? Or are we inviting God into our daily decisions, seeking His will instead of our own? The call of Jesus is not to avoid pleasure, rest, or enjoyment altogether, but to stop making them the foundation of our lives. Instead, He invites us into the abundant life only He provides—a life that overflows with love for God and others, a life that is truly full, rich, and eternal. At its core, this sermon is not simply a warning against greed. It is an invitation into freedom. Freedom from the rat race of needing more, freedom from the endless cycle of desire and disappointment, freedom to live in the richness of God's love. Jesus offers Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. To have Him is to have life to the full—life that is deeply satisfying, meaningful, and eternal. As you listen, let this message move you to reflection. Where are you placing your hope for satisfaction? What do your time, energy, and resources say about what you believe will give you life? Jesus calls us to lay down idols of possessions and success, and instead to receive the life that comes only from Him. Will you keep pursuing fullness in things that cannot satisfy, or will you turn to the One who alone is life?

Getting My ACTs 2Gether Pt. 7Have you ever said, "I will never do that" or "I will never go there"? Then, all of the sudden, your "Never" becomes your new normal. Pastor Dave unpacks the Apostle Peter's epic moment when his "never" changed our forever.

In Part 3 of our From This Day Forward series, Pastor shares why joy isn't optional in a God-honoring marriage—it's essential. Whether you're single, dating, or married, discover how to keep (or rekindle) the fun in your relationships. With biblical insight, practical tips, and a healthy dose of humor, this message will encourage you to invest in laughter, adventure, and intentional time together—because marriage isn't just something to endure, it's something to enjoy!

Pastor Steve, Pastor Dave, and SAM Michelle discuss how God anchors us through the storms of life, and how those challenging times can also strengthen us and help us to grow.

Isaiah 54:4–5 unveils a God who meets His people not by avoiding their shame but by redeeming them through it. In the aftermath of exile, Israel bears both the guilt of rebellion and the disgrace of abandonment—the shame of youth and the reproach of widowhood. Yet God speaks not erasure but reversal: the very shame that defined them becomes the door through which He dismantles their pride, exposes their false narratives, and restores them to covenant love. Just as shame entered humanity's story in Eden, distorting identity and intimacy, so too does God confront and repurpose shame as a means of grace—never to leave His people in it, but to bring them through it. The cross of Christ seals this truth: shame is not conquered by pride or pretense, but by a Redeemer who bore it, broke it, and now rewrites our story with His.

In this opening episode of our Party for One series, we walk through Jesus' parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15:1–7. What kind of shepherd leaves ninety-nine to search for one? The kind who reflects the heart of God. In a culture that values the crowd, Jesus reminds us that heaven throws a party for one. Whether you feel lost, distracted, or disconnected, this message is a powerful reminder: God sees you, seeks you, and celebrates your return.

In part two of our From This Day Forward series, we dive into the powerful principle of “Fighting Fair.” Whether you're married, dating, or navigating other important relationships, this message offers biblical wisdom and real-world practicality for handling conflict with grace.

We reached back into the archives and pulled out a very special episode that Dave and Bethlie did back in season 2. Pray for Pastor Dave as he recovers from a pretty nasty cold.  In this special episode, Dave and Bethlie Young tackle the critical issue of internet pornography and its impact on families. They share alarming statistics about pornography exposure among children and teens, including that 93% of boys and 62% of girls are exposed to internet porn before age 18, with the average first exposure occurring at age 11. Pornography has become "aggressive" - actively seeking out children rather than requiring them to search for it. No family is exempt from this challenge, whether homeschooled, Christian schooled, or public schooled.

(John 5:1-9) At the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, a man crippled for thirty-eight years waits by a superstition for healing—hoping an angel might stir the waters. But when Jesus approaches him and asks, “Do you want to be healed?”, the man responds not with faith but with a narrative of blame and misplaced hope. He believes the problem is that others won't help him and that healing lies in the water—not in the One standing before him. Yet Jesus doesn't offer technique or sympathy; He offers Lordship. True healing, the passage shows, doesn't come through self-diagnosis, cultural remedies, or emotional management, but through surrender to the authority of Christ. This man, like many of us, wants healing without disruption, freedom without obedience. But Jesus heals by commanding—not coddling—because He is not a tool for wellness, but the Lord of wholeness. Only when we relinquish our narratives and submit to Him do we discover a deeper healing—one that outlasts trauma, transcends pain, and restores us to God.

Pastor Dave preaches the second half of the Great Commandment from Matthew 22:39-40. True treasure isn't always material—it can be chipped ashtrays or crude crafts kept for love of the maker. Likewise, every person bears God's signature and is valuable because he created them. Love for others is inseparable from love for God, even when people are hard to like. Agape love goes beyond feelings; it's a self-sacrificial choice to lay down self and love as Christ loves us. Scripture commands this love because it reflects God's heart and overflows from a life transformed by grace. Choosing to love, forgive, and bless others—especially when it's hard—brings freedom and deeper communion with God. Who are you being called to love today, not out of convenience, but in joyful obedience to the one who loves perfectly?

We're surrounded by voices—podcasts, reels, influencers, even preachers. But how do you know what's true and what's not? Jesus warned us about false prophets, and in this message, Pastor Dave breaks down how to test the fruit and flood your formation with Jesus. Learn how to keep ideology from hijacking your theology—and why the words “God helps those who help themselves” might be the most popular lie Christians believe.
