The Way Of The Wise | Week 2 | Choose Others over Self

The Way Of The Wise | Week 3 | Love Over Fear

We’re challenged in this message to ask one powerful question before making decisions: am I being driven by fear or by love? Fear distorts our identity, limits our future, and keeps us from trusting God’s promises, while love calls us to faith, courage, and deeper trust in God. Wisdom isn’t just knowing the right answer – it’s choosing to walk in love, even when fear is loud.

The Way Of The Wise | Week 2 | Choose Others over Self

The way of the wise is often upside down from the values of our culture. Instead of making decisions based on self-gratification, comfort, or instant happiness, Jesus invites us into a life of wisdom, sacrifice, and other-centered love. True flourishing happens when we stop asking “What benefits me most?” and start asking “What does love require of me?” Whether in big life decisions or small everyday moments, following Jesus means considering how our choices affect others and surrendering our preferences.

The Way of The Wise | Week 1 | Choose What Lasts Over What's Immediate

This message challenges the idea that life is about having the right answers and instead teaches that true wisdom is learning how to live and make decisions that align with God’s will over time. By shifting our focus from short-term desires to long-term impact, we can resist the pull of immediate satisfaction and begin to live with intention, clarity, and wisdom that leads to a fuller, more meaningful life.

The Art of Us | Week 3 | Commitment

God doesn’t want us to merely survive in our relationships, but to truly thrive and flourish in them. True love isn’t just a feeling or attraction; it’s the kind of sacrificial, action-oriented love Jesus modeled. To stay in love for the long haul, we must make love a verb by fighting for the relationship instead of just winning arguments, choosing to believe the best in others when expectations aren’t met, and serving one another selflessly even in the everyday moments.

The Art of Us | Week 2 | Communication

Thriving in life is deeply connected to the quality of our relationships, and healthy relationships require ongoing effort, not autopilot. Relationships must be continually practiced, refined, and nurtured – especially through communication. Jesus modeled healthy communication through empathy, presence, and intentional listening, even in interruptions. The challenge is to grow as “relational artists”, because when we stop working on our relationships, they stop working too.
