What does an $850,000 Instagram scam have to do with your daily struggle for approval? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Scotty unpacks how our hunger for validation—whether through likes, accolades, or hiding our flaws—leaves us vulnerable to deception and discontent. Jesus' warning in Matthew 6:1 (“Be careful not to perform for applause”) becomes a lifeline as we confront modern-day hypocrisy: the pastor who craves sermon claps, the parent obsessed with “perfect” kids, and you. You'll walk away with two game-changing phrases: “I don't care what you think” and “I deeply care what God thinks.” Learn how anonymous generosity, embracing an “audience of One,” and surrendering your need for recognition can unshackle your soul. Through real stories and biblical truth, discover why God's approval—proven on the cross—is the only validation that never fades. Stop performing. Start living. Your freedom begins here.

Let's get real. Sexuality and desire are part of our humanity, yet many of us carry hidden pain, shame, or silent battles—especially in a world (and even church) where it's easier to pretend than to bring our struggles into the light. But here's the truth: God isn't embarrassed by your story, and neither are we. Jesus reminds us that desire itself isn't the enemy—it's a gift. The danger begins when lies twist that gift into something that isolates and destroys. Pastor Scotty opens up about his own journey, revealing how Jesus breaks the grip of lust with grace and truth. This isn't about condemnation. It's about freedom. No matter where you've been, there is hope. Jesus doesn't just forgive; He heals. He doesn't just call us out; He calls us beloved. You're not alone. You're not stuck. And you don't have to hide. This is a safe place to heal, to find hope, and to take the next step toward freedom.

Over the past nine weeks, we've been journeying through the Beatitudes—those beautiful blessings Jesus shared in His Sermon on the Mount. This Sunday, as we wrap up our series Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life, Pastor Scotty takes us deeper into a truth that's not another beatitude, but just as profound. It's about how Jesus sees His followers, how He sees you—as salt and light in the world. Jesus calls us salt, not just to say we add something good to the world, but to remind us that we sustain it, preserving and bringing life where it's needed most. And when He calls us light, it's not just a metaphor; it's a declaration. In a world often stumbling in the dark, we reflect His light, guiding others toward hope, love, and the way of Christ. No matter where you find yourself right now—whether life feels overwhelming or steady—this truth stands firm: you are salt, and you are light. Join us as we uncover what that means for you and the world around you.

Pastor Scotty continues his series, Running Over, on finding favor and walking in the blessing generosity.

One of the beautiful truths of Scripture is that God designed us to live in community. Through Christ, we are not only reconciled to God but also united as one body, each part playing a vital role. Healthy relationships are foundational to living out the gospel, marked by love, encouragement, and forgiveness.“For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” (1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV)In today's message, we explore how the Bible calls us to love, encourage, and forgive one another. Just as the early church grew stronger through these principles, we are invited to do the same, building a culture of unity and grace within the body of Christ.How are your relationships reflecting the love of Christ?
