What are you building your life on?

In this message, “Building on the Right Foundation,” we look at Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24–29. Both builders heard the words of Jesus. Both faced the storm. But only one house stood firm.

The difference wasn’t the storm—it was the foundation.

Jesus calls us to do more than simply hear His words. He calls us to know Him, obey Him, spend time in His Word and prayer, and surround ourselves with godly community. When we build our lives on success, approval, possessions, relationships, comfort, or anything other than Christ, we’re building on sand. But when Jesus becomes the foundation and cornerstone of our lives, we can stand firm through every storm.

The foundation you lay today determines the kind of house you have tomorrow.

Take a moment to ask yourself: What am I building my life on?

In this message, “Raising Hell (I’m Angry),” we dive into one of the most destructive emotions we all experience: anger.

After spending the past several weeks talking about mercy and forgiveness, this message looks at what Jesus teaches us to do with our anger—and what can happen when we allow anger to live within us unchecked.

In Matthew 5:21–22, Jesus takes the conversation beyond simply avoiding murder and challenges us to look deeper at what happens in our hearts. Anger, resentment, bitterness, and the ways we treat people can reveal something much deeper going on inside of us.

This message challenges us to recognize the ways anger can show up in our lives, understand the damage it can cause, and begin taking steps toward freedom from it. Following Jesus isn't just about changing our outward behavior—it's about allowing Him to transform what is happening in our hearts.

If you've ever struggled with anger, resentment, unforgiveness, or the desire to get even, this message is for you.

What does forgiveness really look like when the hurt is deep, the consequences are real, and reconciliation isn’t always possible?

In this message, “When Mercy Gets Messy,” we continue through Jesus’ teachings in the Red Letter Summer series by looking at His powerful words in Matthew 18:21–35. Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Jesus challenges us to recognize that the mercy we have received from God is meant to flow through us to others.

Forgiveness isn’t always easy or immediate. Sometimes it’s a long, painful process that requires us to repeatedly choose freedom over bitterness. But Jesus shows us that unresolved bitterness can become a self-inflicted prison—and that lasting freedom is found not only in receiving forgiveness, but also in extending it.

This message also explores what forgiveness does not mean. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean forgetting what happened, removing consequences, or automatically restoring a relationship. Mercy and justice can coexist, and forgiveness doesn’t require reconciliation in every situation.

Ultimately, we forgive because we have been forgiven. The cross of Jesus is the greatest picture of radical, undeserved mercy, and as we remember what Christ has forgiven us, we are empowered to extend that same mercy to others.

Whether you’re carrying anger toward someone who hurt you, struggling to forgive yourself, or simply trying to understand what biblical forgiveness looks like, this message is an invitation to begin the journey toward freedom.

“Father, forgive them. Father, I forgive them. In the same way You forgive me.”
