Live Sermon | What Do You Want?
Coveting is one of those sins that doesn’t always look like sin at first. It can sound like “I deserve better,” “I need the upgrade,” or “If I had their life, I’d finally have peace.” We take the Tenth Commandment, Exodus 20:17, and slow it dow...
Live Sermon | The Trophy Dad
Fatherhood can feel like a test you never studied for, and that’s exactly why Ephesians 6:4 lands with such power. We open with God’s simple, direct charge: don’t stir your kids toward anger, but bring them up with discipline and instruction th...
Live Sermon | No Other Gospel | Pastor Chaston
A one-degree error doesn’t feel like rebellion, it feels like normal life until you hit the rocks. We’re in Galatians 1 with a blunt warning from Paul: turning from the gospel is not just switching ideas, it’s deserting the God who called us by...
Thou Shalt Not Lie
A lie can feel like a tiny shortcut until you realize it’s been quietly rewriting who you are. We start with stories that are honestly hilarious (prank calls, a window-paint “joke” that crossed a line, and a car that definitely didn’t “just bre...
Live | Thou Shalt Not Lie
A “small” lie never stays small. When we take the Ninth Commandment seriously “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” we start seeing how deception quietly rewires our relationships, our integrity, and even our spiritual direct...
Thou Shalt Not Steal
“I don’t steal” feels like an easy win, until we slow down and define what stealing actually is. We keep working through the Ten Commandments with Exodus 20:15, and Pastor Perry helps us look past the obvious and into the everyday places where ...
Live | Thou Shalt Not Steal
A thief climbs through a window, hears a parrot say “Jesus is going to get you,” and suddenly realizes he’s not alone. It’s funny at first, but it sets up a serious question: if Jesus Christ is Lord, what does that change about the way we handl...
Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery
Adultery is rarely a sudden decision. It’s more often a slow drift: less conversation, more criticism, unchecked screen time, and tiny compromises that feel harmless until they’re not. We sit down around Exodus 20:14 and get real about what it ...
Live | Thou Shalt Not Murder
Four words can expose a whole culture. “You shall not murder” sounds like a command most of us can breeze past, but when violence is everywhere and anger simmers under the surface, God’s sixth commandment lands with weight.We walk throu...
Thou Shalt Not Murder
Murder feels like a commandment for “other people” until we let Jesus define what’s really happening underneath it. We sit down with Pastor Perry and walk through the Sixth Commandment, “You shall not murder,” and it gets personal fast: the Bib...
Honor Your Father And Mother
Mother’s Day can bring a lot with it: gratitude, laughter, regret, and sometimes a knot in your stomach. We lean into that tension while walking through the Fifth Commandment in Exodus 20:12, honoring your father and mother, and we get honest a...
Remember The Sabbath And Keep It Holy
Your calendar may be full, but that doesn’t mean your soul is healthy. We sit down with Pastor Perry to talk about the Sabbath as God designed it: not a vague self-care idea, not a bonus for people with free time, but a command that protects us...
Live | Remember The Sabbath And Keep It Holy
Your calendar can be full while your soul is empty, and the Bible calls that what it is: life without Sabbath. We open Exodus 20:8-11 and sit with a command most of us treat like a suggestion, “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” Sabbath (S...
Live Sermon | Honor God’s Name
The words we toss out without thinking can carry more spiritual weight than we realize. We open Exodus 20:7 and confront a command that many people reduce to “don’t cuss” even though it reaches much deeper: don’t empty God’s name of its value, ...
Honor God’s Name
God’s name is everywhere in our culture and that’s exactly why it’s easy to let it become weightless. We start with some honest stories about “forbidden words” at home, then pivot to a much bigger question: what does the Third Commandment actua...
No Idols
The Ten Commandments might be the most quoted part of the Old Testament and also one of the most misunderstood. We sat down to talk about Exodus, Mount Sinai, and why God’s laws are not random restrictions but a personal invitation to know Him ...
