Summer Classics: Jonah | Jonah 1 | Pastor Josh Evans

Jonah is more than the story of a man swallowed by a great fish. It's the story of a God who relentlessly pursues those who run from Him, extends mercy to the undeserving, and offers second chances to all who repent. In this message, we'll see how our disobedience affects those around us, why God sometimes uses storms to draw us back, and how the book of Jonah ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, our only source of deliverance. Join us as we continue our Summer Classics series and discover the timeless truths found in one of the Bible's most familiar stories.

The Prodigal Son | Pastor Josh Evans

This week in our Summer Classics series, we look at one of Jesus' most famous parables, The Prodigal Son. More than a story about a wayward son, this passage reveals the heart of a loving Father who pursues the lost and extends grace to the undeserving. Whether you identify with the younger brother, the older brother, or the father, this message reminds us that the Gospel is God's invitation to come home and experience His grace. #SummerClassics #TheProdigalSon #Luke15 #UGBC #Grace #Forgiveness #JesusSaves

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

Bad behaviors don’t just create bad moments - they lead to bad outcomes.

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
