As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Zach explores Proverbs 22:7 and challenges us to see debt through the lens of biblical wisdom. While our culture normalizes borrowing, Scripture reveals how debt can quietly steal our freedom, peace, and purpose. Jesus invites us to let go of the temporary things we chase and trust him with our priorities, finances, and future. True freedom is found not in having more, but in following the One who leads us to more life.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Jamie explores Proverbs 22:1–2 and what it truly means to have a good name. He contrasts the exhausting pursuit of approval from others and ourselves with the lasting identity found in God alone. Through the gospel, we discover that our worth isn't earned by our performance but received through Jesus, who exchanges his perfect reputation for our broken one.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Zach explores Proverbs 14:30 and reminds us that envy quietly robs us of the joy and contentment God desires for us. He challenges us to recognize the "if only" thoughts that can take root in our hearts and shift our focus away from God's goodness. Through the hope of the gospel, we are reminded that in Christ we are fully loved, richly blessed, and free to celebrate the blessings God gives to others while finding lasting contentment in him.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe explores Proverbs 18:21 and the incredible power of words. He reminds us that our words reveal what is happening in our hearts and have the ability to bring either life or death to those around us. Through the story of the prodigal son, we discover the life-giving words God speaks over us: “I see you,” “I love you,” “I forgive you,” and “come home.” When those truths fill our hearts, our words can become a source of healing, encouragement, and life for others.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Zach explores Proverbs 20:1 and challenges us to consider what has influence over our hearts and decisions. He reminded us that wisdom begins when we recognize the things that compete for our attention, affection, and trust. While many things in life can be good gifts from God, they become dangerous when they begin to control us. Through Christ, we can find the freedom to live under God's leadership and experience the life he designed for us.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe explores Proverbs 13:20 and reminds us that wisdom is often found through the people we choose to walk with. He explains that life’s biggest decisions require more than knowledge–they require godly wisdom, and God frequently provides that wisdom through relationships and community. Pastor Joe encourages us to seek out wise, Jesus-centered people who can help us navigate life and experience the more life God desires for us.

As we kick off our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Zach explores Proverbs 3 and the kind of life God truly wants for us–one marked by richness, purpose, health, and flourishing through a relationship with him. He challenges us to confront the biggest obstacle to that life: our tendency to trust our own understanding instead of God’s wisdom. Through the example of Jesus, Pastor Zach shows how God has proven himself trustworthy and invites us to experience more life by fully trusting him.

In this message from Luke 18:18–30, Pastor Mike Holwerda explores the story of the rich ruler who wanted eternal life but struggled to let go of the thing he treasured most. Through this powerful conversation with Jesus, we’re reminded that following Christ is not just transactional — it’s relational.

Jesus challenges us to examine our hearts and ask what has become a “false god” in our lives. Is it money? Control? Success? Comfort? Whatever we cling to most can quietly compete with our relationship with God.

But the good news is this: Jesus gave up everything for us. He opened His hands, laid down His life, and offered us eternal life through grace. What feels impossible for us is possible with God.

Money may be good, but Jesus is better.
