Ever wondered why some Christians thrive while others struggle? Pastor Josh explores the parable of the sower, revealing that it's not just about the seed (God's Word), but the soil (our hearts).

From exercise fads to spiritual growth, discover why consistency and commitment matter more than finding the "perfect" method. Challenge yourself to apply what you know and watch your faith flourish.

The seed is the same - God's word pure and true, But the soil determines what will break through. Will you hear and receive with a humble heart? Obey what you know - that's where wisdom starts. Not by memorized verses or knowledge alone, But by letting God's teachings take root and be shown. When trials come calling and world's cares grow tall, Prioritize faith, and let other things fall. Bear fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, and peace, Let patience and kindness within you increase. Don't just listen and wonder, but do what is right, Be good soil that nurtures the seed's inner light. No magic solution, no shortcut to see, Just willing surrender and true obedience free. Like walking each day on a path that is true, God's word is the seed - the growth comes from you.
Preparing Your Heart for a Happy New Year is more than just making resolutions to change our behavior. Real, Meaningful Life Change comes from the inside. This begins with the heart. But what does it mean to guard the heart?

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Preparing Your Heart for the Promised King Advent is a season of anticipation—looking back to Christ's first coming in the manger and looking forward to His triumphant return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Today's message focuses on Luke 19:28-40, the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. While this event is often associated with Palm Sunday, it is also a powerful reminder of what Advent calls us to do: prepare for the coming of Christ. In this passage, we'll discover three key truths about our Savior: 1. Jesus is the promised King, 2. Jesus is worthy of our worship. 3. Jesus challenges our expectations. The people of Jerusalem hailed Jesus as King, yet many misunderstood His mission. Today, we're called to see Him for who He truly is—our humble, sovereign, and victorious Redeemer. As we prepare for Christmas, this passage urges us to recognize Jesus' kingship, worship Him with joyful hearts, and trust Him, even when His plans differ from our own. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

Hey lovely ladies!
Hey Moms! You are an example for your kids. How's your heart as you prepare to celebrate Easter, to celebrate Resurrection Day? How do you walk with God as we prepare to celebrate Easter? How are you “modeling” your heart at Easter … for your kids? One way to use these weeks leading up to Easter is to focus on Jesus. That's why I'm looking at some names for Jesus during this 4-week series. Let's start with the name, Jesus. In this episode you'll discover: ✅ What the name Jesus means ✅ How to the names of Jesus for your own heart and your kids' hearts ✅ How to get awe and wonder back into your life Resources Mentioned How to Prepare Your Family for a Christlike Easter Celebration Easter Bible Reading Plan Easter Activities: Keep Christ in Easter Easter Skies of the Cross Bundle The Wonder of His Name, by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
TAKEAWAYSNever say negative things about your ex-spouse - your kids still love them and may resent you for speaking negatively about themTrust in the power of prayer A lot of people whose marriages end look for another relationship way too soonIf your relationship has ended, allow yourself to properly heal and have closure before rushing into another relationship
Are you ready to have a grace-filled Lent? What will you plan to offer up or sacrifice? What extra prayers will you add? Drew Mariani dives deep into the heart of Lent with Fr. Matthew Spencer, revealing secrets to make this season truly transformative. Here's the lowdown: Lent: Not Just Another Season: Drew kicks things off by reminding you that Lent isn't just any time of the year—it's a divine invitation to embrace God's strong grace. Cardinal Raymond Burke calls it a time of "strong grace", and boy, does he hit the nail on the head! This is your golden ticket to deepening your faith through the sacraments, prayer, and acts of charity. Ready to reboot your spiritual life? Think of Lent as your spiritual New Year! The Pitfalls of Autopilot Catholicism: Fr. Matthew Spencer jumps in with a personal confession: after 45 Lents, he's realized that going through the motions just doesn't cut it. Ever found yourself recycling last year's sacrifices? ("Goodbye, candy; see you next year!") Fr. Spencer challenges us to break free from the routine and engage with Lent with full intentionality. Let's tap into that strong grace Drew mentioned and make each Lenten sacrifice count! A Life-Changing Pause: Fr. Spencer's Turning Point: Fr. Spencer shares a heart-stopping moment from his past—a life-threatening brain injury that led him to discover the power of prayer and the Memorare. This brush with death wasn't just a wakeup call; it was a divine nudge towards the priesthood and a deeper relationship with God. Through suffering and recovery, Fr. Spencer found his true calling. Talk about finding a silver lining in the darkest clouds! Suffering: A Hidden Grace?: Drew and Fr. Spencer don't shy away from the tough stuff. Suffering—nobody wants it, but it's a powerful conduit for grace. St. Faustina and countless saints have shown us that embracing our crosses can transform us to be more like Christ. This Lent, let's not waste our sufferings. Instead, let's unite them with Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Got pain? Offer it up and watch your spiritual life flourish! The Holy Family: Our Suffering Role Models: Fr. Spencer points to the Holy Family as our ultimate guide in navigating suffering with grace. Mary and Joseph endured heartache and trials with unwavering faith. Their journey reminds us to bear our burdens patiently, discern God's message in our trials, and surrender to His divine plan. So, what's the game plan, team? Are we going to "dial it in" or dive headfirst into this season of strong grace? Let's make this Lent a time of intentional living, deep prayer, and transformative suffering, all while keeping our eyes fixed on the glory of the Resurrection. And hey, let's not forget to keep Fr. Spencer and his mission in our prayers. Let's roll up our sleeves and make this Lent one for the books!
