Idols Of The Heart

Your Freedom

Ever felt like you’re barely holding it together while everyone else seems fine? In this raw and honest message, Pastor Ben Young unpacks Psalm 42 to remind us we’re not alone—and we’re not meant to live in isolation. Whether you're overwhelmed by life’s waves or crying out in silence, God’s love still calls to you in the deep. It’s time to stop pretending and start healing.

Climbing The Mountain

How do we face the mountains in life - the fears and tasks we have to overcome? We need the mountain climbing manual called God's Word and the Guide who knows the terrain and how to summit. We can learn from the Galatians, who were about to fall off the mountain because they were relying on their performance and legalistic rituals to make it to the top instead of following their guide, Jesus Christ.

Coaching

Coaches are critical in the development of young men and women. Even adults employ “Life Coaches”. Good coaches must have tender and tough love and be able to tell it like it is. The Apostle Paul was a life coach for the Galatian churches, and he had some strong words when they began trying to earn the salvation they already possessed. Don’t let this misguided thinking hinder your spiritual growth.

Graceland

Are you living in “Lawland” or Graceland? If you're stuck in Lawland trying to please God by your religion, efforts, morality or rules, it’s time for a move to Graceland where there is forgiveness, love, mercy, life and community – it’s where we can grow and follow God in Christ. Are you ready to move to Graceland?

Align Your Life

When our car is out of alignment, we can end up in the ditch. And when things are misaligned in our spiritual life, we drift and eventually wind up in the ditch of a graceless, unforgiving mode of existence. But when we align with God, we have confidence, courage and conviction. Find out about forces that pull us out of alignment in Galatians chapter 2 and how to align or re-align with God.
