Walking in Wisdom - Proverbs 13 - You Can Be Wise!

Proverbs 13:20 is a short verse with a long reach, and Pastor Rod Collins unpacks both sides of it — the transformative power of walking closely with wise people, and the quietly devastating consequences of keeping company with fools. Drawing on decades of personally pursuing mentors and wisdom-seekers, Pastor Rod makes the case that becoming wise is less a matter of intelligence than of intentionality, and that the relational choices made today are shaping the person being formed tomorrow.

Walking in Wisdom - Proverbs 10 - The Voice of Wisdom, the Echo of Folly

Continuing the series through the book of Proverbs, Pastor Garrett Castro works through Proverbs 10:1–7, unpacking the stark contrast between godly wisdom and the folly that quietly erodes families, work ethic, and legacy — drawing from James 3, Matthew 6, and 2 Corinthians 12 to show that seeking and applying God's wisdom are two very different things, and that one without the other is never enough.

Mother's Day 2026

In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Rod Collins draws from 2 Timothy 1 and Romans 16 to paint a portrait of motherhood that extends far beyond biology — tracing how the quiet, faithful example of women like Timothy's grandmother Lois and an unnamed woman Paul called his own mother shaped the course of lives and, ultimately, history itself. Through three practical challenges — prioritizing time with Jesus, remaining faithful in the small things, and intentionally pursuing people — Pastor Rod makes the case that ordinary women investing in the lives around them are doing some of the most significant work in the kingdom of God.

Walking in Wisdom - Proverbs 4 - The Wisdom of Guarding Your Heart

In Proverbs 4:23, Solomon delivers what may be his most urgent piece of wisdom — above all else, guard your heart. Pastor Rod Collins unpacks why the heart is not meant to be followed but protected, exploring how the steady stream of cultural noise, content, and comparison quietly shapes the beliefs, desires, and convictions of anyone who leaves it unguarded.

Walking in Wisdom - Proverbs 3 - In Whom Do You Trust?

Drawing from one of Scripture's most beloved passages — Proverbs 3:5-6 — Pastor Rod Collins takes a searching look at what it actually means to trust God with all your heart, not just in word, but in the daily weight-bearing moments of life. From leaning not on your own understanding to acknowledging God in every decision, this installment in the Proverbs series makes a compelling case that the wisest thing anyone can do is surrender a self-directed life for a God-directed one.
