Life Hacks: Words | Proverbs 12:13-14 | Pastor Josh Evans

Words matter more than we realize. In this message from Proverbs 12:13-14, we look at the power of our speech - the content of our words, the tone we use, and the purpose behind what we say. Scripture reminds us that words can bring healing or destruction, encouragement or damage, life or hurt. Once words leave our mouths, we can’t take them back. So the question becomes: what kind of wisdom is shaping the way we speak? 📖💬 Life Hacks #5 - Think Before You Speak

Life Hacks: Bad Behaviors | Proverbs 8:13 | Pastor Josh Evans

Bad behaviors don’t just create bad moments - they lead to bad outcomes. In this message from our Life Hacks series, we walk through Proverbs and uncover the destructive patterns that quietly sabotage relationships, spiritual growth, and everyday life. We talk about: +Laziness and missed opportunities +Pride and self-righteousness +Gossip and destructive words +Anger and conflict +Revenge and bitterness +Gluttony and lack of self-control +Envy and comparison But Proverbs doesn’t just expose the problem... it gives us the remedy. God’s wisdom teaches us how to replace destructive behaviors with humility, diligence, patience, kindness, contentment, and self-control. Because wisdom isn’t just about being smart. It’s about living a righteous life that honors God 💚 #Proverbs #LifeHacks #ChristianLiving #Wisdom #Faith #UnionGrove #BibleTeaching #UGBC #JesusChangesEverything

Life Hack #1: Wisdom | Proverbs 1:1-8 | Pastor Josh Evans

Everyone wants shortcuts that actually work - but what if real life change doesn’t come from trends, but from truth? We’re kicking off a brand new series called Life Hacks, walking through the book of Proverbs and uncovering practical, biblical wisdom for everyday life. In week one, we focus on wisdom - what it really is and why it matters. Wisdom is not just knowledge, it is the ability to apply truth to your everyday decisions. In this message, we break down the difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, and why so many people have information but still struggle to live well. We also look at the source of true wisdom - not from the world, but from God - and how it shapes your choices, your relationships, and your future. Proverbs doesn’t give quick fixes or step-by-step formulas. It gives principles that guide your life. And the first life hack is simple but powerful - get God’s wisdom before making daily decisions. If you’ve ever needed direction, clarity, or help making better decisions, this series is for you.

Deliver Us From Evil | Matthew 6:5-13 | Pastor Josh Evans

We wrap up The Blueprint of Prayer by looking at “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:5-13). Temptation is something we all face - but it doesn’t have to lead to sin. In this message, we unpack what temptation is, where it comes from, and how it works against us, from our own flesh to the influence of the enemy. But there’s real hope - the same God who forgives past sin gives power for present victory. You don’t have to give in - you can overcome. We also look at practical ways to guard your life by being intentional about the people, places, and patterns that shape you, and by learning to follow the Spirit daily.
