What makes a man dateable by God’s standards? We tend to let feelings and culture cloud our decisions when it comes to who we date. So in this message, we’re asking three questions that help us decide if he’s truly dateable or not.

Dating is a path that leads to a promise that leads to a lifelong pursuit. But just because you’re available doesn’t mean that you’re datable. In this message, we go through a checklist of priorities that will tell you if you are in fact, dateable.

Not everyone who claims to be a Christian will be in heaven, because it’s not just about your words. How can we be assured that we know Jesus and he knows us? In this message, we look at Matthew 7 to see what Jesus meant when he said, “Depart from me, I never knew you.”

When Jesus says, “Ask and you will receive,” is it really that simple? Does it mean we can manifest whatever we want if we believe it enough? In this message, we learn what Jesus actually means by this statement and the significance it has for us.

Have you ever wondered what we need to do to get to heaven? Are you just going through the motions of religion and faking it? In this message, we look at John 3 to learn what Jesus meant when he said “you must be born again” to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I'm sure when you think of your enemies, your first response isn't to love them. Culture may tell you differently, but that's exactly what we are to do as Christians. In this message, we learn what Jesus means when he says, "love your enemies."

Spiritual warfare is something very real, yet no one really talks about it. Sure we know Jesus wins the war in the end, but what does that mean for the everyday battles we face? In this message, we learn from Ephesians 6:10-18 how we can fight our battles.

Many of us buy the lie that we’re a good person, but there’s no universally accepted standard of what is good. Can we ever be “good” enough? In this message, we look at Mark 10:17-27 to learn three reasons why good people don’t go to heaven (but forgiven people do).

Believe it or not, the Bible isn’t prude. But the liberation of sexuality in our culture has led to bondage instead of freedom. In this message, we learn the problems porn creates and the principles God gives us for sex.

Sin may be fun for a moment, but it always has consequences. Why doesn’t sin stay fun forever? Why is every high followed by a low? In this message, we learn the reality and effects of sin so we can learn to get rid of it before it gets rid of us.

Saving sex for marriage may seem old fashioned. Society tells you to try before you buy, but sex is dangerous outside of the purpose it was designed for. In this message, we look at 1 Corinthians 6:13-7:4 to learn why sex is amazing but destructive.

When you hear modest is hottest what comes to mind? Here’s our hot take: modest isn’t hottest, but it’s better. In this message, we’re diving into God’s word to learn 3 reasons why.

It’s possible to be considered good but not godly. Is Jesus the passion of your life or just a part of it? In this message, we look at the life of King David in 2 Samuel to learn the four keys of moving from good to godly.

We all hate waiting, whether it’s for marriage, a promotion, or healing from heartbreak. What are you waiting for that God seems to be slow on? In this message, we wrap up the series with James 5:7-12 to learn how we wait for resolution as Christians.

Money determines many things in this life, whether we have a little or a lot. God isn’t out to get your money, but he doesn’t want your money to get you. In this message, we study James 5:1-6 to see how the way we view, make, and use money reveals what we’re really living for.

Do you struggle with pride? Pride can be hard to see in the mirror, but it’s covering so many of us. In this message, we study James 4:10-17 to learn ways we struggle with pride and how to defeat it.

We often ignore warnings that we think will prevent us from getting what our hearts desire. It’s more natural for us to trust ourselves instead of trusting God, but that leads to painful consequences. In this message, we study James 4 to learn three warnings that will prevent us from ruining our lives.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” But the truth is that the tongue is powerful, and words have the power to shape our lives. In this message, we study James 3:1-12 to learn three truths about the tongue.

Many claim to be Christians but they don’t live like it. A faith that saves is always matched with action, not just lip service. In this message, we study James 2:14-24 to answer the question “Is your faith real?”

Ever picked favorites? Often times in life, we let our assumptions and judgments of appearance, social status, profession, wealth, gender, race and culture affect the value of another person. We all do it, but how serious is it? What can we do to stop it? In this message, we dive into James 2:1-13 to see what the cause and cure to favoritism really is.
