Send us a text What happens after baptism? Many believers struggle with this question, focusing on the ritual's words or methods while missing Christ's complete command: "teaching them to observe all things which I have commanded you." This message dives deep into how God is glorified through our lives when we allow Him to work in us "what is well-pleasing in His sight." Drawing from powerful passages in Hebrews 13, Romans 6, and Romans 8, we explore the profound truth that obedience flows n...

2025/06/12

Send us a text The spiritual life often feels like an endless struggle of trying to please God through our own efforts, only to fall short repeatedly. But what if we've misunderstood the entire foundation of obedience? This profound meditation on Hebrews 13:20-21 unveils a revolutionary truth: authentic obedience flows not from our striving but from God's empowering presence within us. "Working in you what is well-pleasing in His sight" isn't just a beautiful phrase—it's the secret to sustai...

Send us a text What happens when we strip away centuries of human opinion on marriage and return to Jesus' own words? The answer transforms how we understand one of life's most sacred relationships. In this profound exploration of Matthew 19, we journey back to a moment when religious leaders attempted to trap Jesus with a controversial question about divorce "for any reason at all." Rather than engaging in legal technicalities, Jesus redirected everyone's attention to God's original design ...

The Gap Between Calling Jesus Lord and Living It

Welcome to the 411 ·

2025/06/08

Send us a text "Why do you call me Lord, lord, and do not do the things which I say?" This piercing question from Jesus in Luke's Gospel forms the foundation of a powerful examination of what it truly means to acknowledge Christ's Lordship. Far beyond mere verbal acknowledgment, authentic recognition of Jesus as Lord demands alignment between our professions and our actions. The message walks us through a comprehensive look at how the early Christians understood Jesus' position—not merely as...

You're not alone, and there's profound hope in understanding the divine partnership that makes true obedience possible. This illuminating Bible study delves into Philippians 2:12-13, unlocking the mystery behind the seemingly paradoxical command to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Rather than leaving us to our own devices, Scripture r...

The Christian Family

Welcome to the 411 ·

2025/06/03

Send us a text What's the secret to 66 years of marriage? When people ask me that question, my answer surprises them: "I didn't do it. God helped me." Drawing from decades of marriage and ministry, I share biblical wisdom for building marriages that last in a world where relationships often fracture. The Christian family stands upon the revolutionary concept found in Ephesians 5:21: "Submitting yourselves one to another in the reverence of Christ." This mutual submission transforms how husba...

Send us a text What happens when anxiety weighs so heavily on your heart that you feel like giving up? In this powerful exploration of faith versus feelings, we uncover the biblical truth about conquering the depressed soul. Scripture reveals a profound connection between anxiety and depression. "Anxiety in the heart causes depression, but a good word makes it glad" (Proverbs 12:25).

Welcome to the 411 ·

2025/05/25

Send us a text What makes the difference between Christians who struggle in their own strength and those who experience the transformative power of God's grace? The answer lies in a profound biblical principle: "The just shall live by faith." Drawing from Habakkuk 2:4 and Romans 1:16-17, this meditation explores how genuine spiritual growth happens when we move beyond self-reliance and embrace faith-dependent living. Pride—our natural tendency to depend on ourselves—stands as the greatest ob...

Send us a text What happens when the divine meets the ordinary? This episode delves deep into the profound paradox found in 2 Corinthians 4:7, exploring how God places extraordinary heavenly treasure within ordinary earthen vessels—our human bodies. We begin by examining our fundamental nature as creatures formed from the dust of the earth, fragile and temporary, yet chosen to contain something eternal and powerful. The mystery unfolds: Christ himself dwells within believers, transforming th...

But what happens when anger becomes something we worship—when our emotions become our god? This powerful exploration of faith over anger takes us through biblical wisdom that remains startlingly relevant today. We begin with the heartbreaking story of Mamie Till, who faced unimaginable injustice after her son Emmett's...

Breaking Free: Where the Spirit of the Lord Is

2025/05/16

Send us a text Freedom lies at the heart of the Christian message, yet its true meaning often gets lost in religious rhetoric. What does genuine spiritual liberty look like? It's far more revolutionary than simply being allowed to do whatever we want. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:17, we explore how "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." This liberty stands in stark contrast to the spiritual bondage produced by living under the old covenant of law. While the Pharisees bound "hea...

Send us a text What made Mary, the mother of Jesus, so extraordinary? This powerful message explores the remarkable woman chosen by God to bring the Savior into the world. Mary wasn't a princess from a palace or a woman of influence - she was a 12-year-old virgin from Nazareth, a small village with a terrible reputation. "A nobody from nowhere, with no money and no status," yet God selected her for the most significant role any woman has ever played in human history. When faced with the ang...

Bad Things, Good People: The Divine Perspective

Through a powerful exploration of John 9, we journey alongside a man born blind whose suffering becomes the canvas for God's glory. The sermon dives deep into three transformative perspectives on suffering. First, suffering naturally invokes questions—the disciples immediately wondered whose sin caused the blindness. Yet Jesus challenges their assumptions, showing t...

In this powerful exploration of God's divine blueprint for family, we uncover the crucial difference between constructing a physical dwelling and creating a spiritual haven. While anyone can build a house with the right materials and plans, only God can truly establish a home—and He has provided us with His perfect building code in Scripture. Gen...

When Every Other Gift Fails, Love Remains

Send us a text Love stands as the believer's best gift, towering above all other spiritual endowments. While Christians often debate which spiritual gift carries the greatest value—whether tongues, prophecy, wisdom, or miraculous powers—the apostle Paul settles this age-old question with stunning clarity in 1 Corinthians 13. Examining this profound chapter reveals three essential qualities that establish love's supremacy. First, love is preeminent. Without it, speaking in the languages of me...

Send us a text The spiritual aroma we carry as believers might be the most overlooked aspect of our Christian walk. Through a compelling exploration of 2 Corinthians 2, we discover that God has called each follower of Christ to be "the fragrance of Christ" in this world—a spiritual cologne that impacts everyone we encounter. What's remarkable about this spiritual scent is its dual nature. To fellow believers, our Christ-centered lives bring refreshment and unity—the sweet smell of life. Yet ...

Tonight, we explore one of the most remarkable biblical parallels found in Genesis: the life of Joseph as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the 411 ·

2025/04/21

Send us a text Pride and humility stand at opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum, each drawing vastly different responses from God. Our exploration of Proverbs 3 reveals a profound truth that echoes throughout Scripture: "Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble." This divine principle establishes that our posture before God directly determines what we receive from Him. The scornful person walks with "arrogant disregard for the Lord and His righteous ways," mocking godl...

In this profound exploration of 1 Thessalonians 4-5, we discover how Christ's promised return transforms our understanding of death and life. The early Thessalonian believers worried their departed loved ones would miss experiencing Christ's glorious return. Paul's response offers a revolutionary framework - four perspectives that completely reorient how we view death: looking down at graves ...
