In his sermon "Love Your Enemies," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens explores the radical call to love those who oppose us by following Christ’s example—dying for us while we were still God’s enemies. He clarifies that "an eye for an eye" was meant to limit retribution, ensuring punishment fits the crime, not to license unchecked vengeance, while "turning the other cheek" is often misinterpreted as passivity but is actually a strategic de-escalation to break cycles of retaliation. Stephens emphasizes that loving enemies as Jesus did isn’t a path to weakness or abuse but a powerful tactic to reflect Christ’s love, trusting God’s wrath and the Holy Spirit’s conviction to transform lives far beyond what human justice or vengeance could achieve. He urges believers to relinquish personal retaliation, allowing God to work in their enemies’ hearts through love.

In this episode of Faith Forward, Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Micah Stephens, and Garrett Backstrom unpack President Trump’s March 4th speech to the Joint Session, critiquing the Democrats’ apparent indifference to applauding a child cancer survivor or empathizing with mothers grieving daughters killed by illegal immigrants, suggesting a prioritization of political revolution over genuine American struggles. They also address the "woke right" and its misguided antisemitism, arguing that while Israel, like all nations, is flawed due to human imperfection, it’s inaccurate and unfair to scapegoat Jews for all societal evils. The trio wraps up the discussion with a lighter segment, sharing their favorite book recommendations for viewers, blending political commentary with personal insights in this faith-driven conversation.

In his sermon "Jesus For My Family - Passover," Pastor Rob McCoy bridges the books of Exodus and Mark to illuminate the profound connection between the first Passover in Egypt and the final Passover meal Jesus shared with His disciples before His crucifixion. He explains how the Israelites’ act of marking their doors with lamb’s blood to escape the Angel of Death foreshadowed Christ’s ultimate sacrifice as the Passover Lamb, whose blood spares humanity from the judgment of sin. McCoy underscores that just as the lamb’s blood ensured the firstborn’s survival in Exodus, Christ’s blood secures eternal life for believers, weaving a consistent thread of redemption through Scripture. He marvels at how God’s story of salvation, culminating in Jesus, unfolds as the central narrative of world history, inviting families to embrace this timeless truth.

In his sermon "Shiprah & Puah," Pastor Rob McCoy draws from the book of Exodus to explore the life of Moses, dividing it into three distinct phases: his upbringing in Pharaoh’s house, his time as a shepherd in the Midian desert, and his role as the leader of God’s people after their liberation from Egypt. Pastor Rob highlights Moses’ early pride and reliance on his own understanding, exemplified by his murder of an Egyptian in a misguided attempt to liberate his people—an act with good intentions but flawed execution, a pitfall many face when disconnected from God’s will. He emphasizes that even well-meaning efforts can falter if not aligned with divine guidance, using Moses’ later disobedience—striking a rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed—as a cautionary tale that cost him entry into the Promised Land. Pastor Rob urges listeners to trust God’s direction, warning that taking matters into our own hands risks failure, while obedience to His commands unlocks the fullness of His promises.
