Onward | Joshua 1 | Pastor Trent Griffith

Onward | Joshua 1 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, "Onward", God's call to His people has always been to move forward, not to stay comfortable. Drawing from Joshua chapter one, five key truths emerge for every believer: stepping into new territory, living with courage, being transformed by God's Word, serving others in community, and embracing a mission to the world around us. Just as God promised His presence to Joshua, He promises the same to every follower of Jesus today. The greatest giants we face are often internal, things like comfort, idleness, and fear, and only God's strength is sufficient to overcome them. Meditating on Scripture is not a passive exercise but a deep, transforming process that reshapes the heart from the inside out. Jesus is the true and better Joshua, the One who leads His people into new territory and gives them everything they need to follow Him faithfully.

Keep Yourself in His Love | Jude 1:17-25 | Clint Hendry

In today’s sermon, Clint Hendry preaches the message "Keep Yourself in His Love", Many Christians know about God's love intellectually but struggle to experience it daily. The book of Jude teaches that while believers are already kept secure by God's power, we have a responsibility to position ourselves to experience His love. Jude provides three practical ways to keep ourselves in God's love: building ourselves up in the faith by mastering gospel content, praying in the Holy Spirit by aligning our prayers with God's will, and waiting for Christ's return with anticipation. Just as we must step outside to feel the sun's warmth, we must intentionally position ourselves to experience the love that's already ours in Christ.

Watch Your Mouth | Ephesians 4:29-30 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "Watch Your Mouth", Words carry tremendous power to either build up or tear down others. Paul teaches in Ephesians 4:29-30 that our speech should edify rather than corrupt, fitting the occasion and giving grace to hearers without grieving the Holy Spirit. Our word problems stem from heart problems, as Jesus said the mouth speaks from the heart's abundance. Before speaking, we should ask four key questions: Do my words build up? Do they fit this occasion? Do they give grace? Do they please God? Corrupting words include criticism, cynicism, harshness, profanity, and even harmful silence. Grace-giving words affirm, encourage, and enable others to become who God called them to be.

Put on Generosity | Ephesians 4:28 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "Put on Generosity", Moving from a heart of taking to a heart of giving requires addressing two fundamental problems: laziness and greediness. Stealing isn't just about taking physical property - we can steal honor, respect, intimacy, and even rob God through unfaithful giving. The solution involves honest work and generous sharing. Biblical generosity means giving with predetermination, making it a priority, and trusting God's abundant provision. When we transfer ownership of everything to God and give faithfully, we discover that generosity becomes a testimony to others of God's faithfulness and care.

How To Sunset Your Anger | Ephesians 4:26-27 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "How To Sunset Your Anger", We live in an angry culture, but as Christians, we didn't learn anger from Christ. Ephesians 4:26-27 teaches us to be angry without sinning and not let the sun go down on our anger. Anger reveals what we treasure and often masks itself as frustration, disappointment, or resentment. While some anger can be godly when protesting evil or protecting good, human anger is usually mixed with unrighteousness. The solution is to put off anger and put on trust, following Christ's example of entrusting himself to God's perfect judgment and control.
