Scripture Reference: Romans 15:14-19

Welcome to Citizen Church and Week 4 of our series, Hidden Gems — where we're uncovering powerful truths from Proverbs that impact everyday life. In today's message, Pastor Dustin brings a timely and convicting word on the power of our words — and how what we say reveals, reflects, and shapes the world around us. Key Scriptures: Proverbs 10:11 | Luke 6:45 | Proverbs 13:3 | Proverbs 17:28 | Proverbs 10:19 | Proverbs 12:18 | Genesis 2:19 In this message, you'll discover 3 reasons our words shouldn't be taken lightly: 1 Words reveal what's in the heart.   “For a man's words will always express what has been treasured in his heart.” (Luke 6:45) 2 Words require restraint and reflect wisdom.   Holding your tongue isn't weakness — it's wisdom. 3 Words carry the power of life and death.   They can build identity, heal wounds, and align us with God's truth — or tear down, destroy, and divide. “Don't just change your words; let God change your heart.” “Every thought has a voice, but not every thought deserves a microphone.” Our words are more than communication — they are spiritual instruments. God invites us into partnership to shape, encourage, and steward the world around us through what we say. Featuring a powerful quote from Dr. Carol Dweck: "What you praise shapes what a child values, how they see themselves, how they respond to challenges, and ultimately, who they become.” This message is for anyone who's ever struggled with what to say, when to speak, or how to bring healing through your words. If you're ready to walk in wisdom, speak life, and reflect the heart of God — don't miss this sermon.

Welcome to Citizen Church and Week 3 of our series, Hidden Gems — where we uncover timeless wisdom from Proverbs for everyday life. In today's powerful message, Pastor Dustin teaches us how to walk in financial wisdom by handling money God's way — with generosity, trust, and obedience. Key Scriptures: Proverbs 11:24–25 | Proverbs 3:9–10 | Matthew 6:33 | Luke 11:42 | Proverbs 28:19 | Hebrews 7:1–10 In this message, you'll discover 3 key principles for Kingdom generosity: Generosity doesn't subtract — it multiplies.  - The world of the generous gets larger and more impactful. When you put God first, everything else finds its place.  - Tithing isn't just a financial act — it's spiritual alignment. Obedience begins with what you have.  - God honors faithfulness and stewardship over perfection. “The stingy don't just have less… they become less.” “You can't overflow if you don't put God first.” This message is a must-watch if you're seeking Biblical wisdom on money, financial freedom, or just looking to grow in your stewardship and faith. Whether you're learning to tithe, budget, invest, or break free from debt, God's Word has a blueprint for financial peace and purpose. Plus, learn about our Generosity U discipleship journey — where we explore practical tools and spiritual truths that lead to overflow living. God's way with money is clear: – Give freely > You grow. – Honor God first > You overflow. – Work faithfully > You harvest.

Sometimes the hardest storms in life are the ones we cause ourselves. In this message, Pastor Dustin dives into the story of Jonah to reveal how God's grace still meets us—even when we run the opposite direction. Through Jonah's journey—and a powerful testimony from our staff member Jonas—you'll discover four life-changing truths about the storms we face: 1. God will often ask you to do things you don't want to do. 2. When God gives direction, Satan provides distraction. 3. God will send a storm to grab your attention—not to destroy you, but to redirect you. 4. Life-changing grace is often found under the waves. This sermon will challenge you to stop running and start trusting. Because even in unnecessary storms, God is still calling—and He's not done with you yet.
