In today’s message, Relationship = Reflection, special guest Rusty Nottingham from the Akron Dream Center shares a powerful word on how our relationships reveal the depth of our walk with Christ. Drawing from John 13:34-35 (NLT), 1 John 3:17-18 (NLT), and Romans 5:6-8 (NLT), Rusty reminds us that love is not only commanded but demonstrated—through Jesus and through us.

When we love one another, we reflect Christ to a world desperate for hope. Just as Jesus laid down His life while we were still sinners, we are called to live sacrificially in our relationships, showing compassion, action, and authentic faith.

✨ Takeaway Challenge: This week, ask yourself—do my relationships reflect the love of Christ? Look for an opportunity to show love in action, not just in words, whether it’s serving someone in need, offering forgiveness, or being present for a friend.

Lean in as Rusty Nottingham encourages us to let our lives become mirrors of God’s love. As you listen, pray and ask God to speak directly to you through today’s message, and be ready to act on what He calls you to do.

In this powerful conclusion to the RUN | FIGHT | KEEP series, Pastor Dan Harrison steps into the role of Timothy, Paul’s young disciple and ministry partner, delivering a heartfelt and sobering message to the church.

Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:1–12 and 2 Timothy 4:6–8, Pastor Dan reveals the heart of a spiritual father and the burden of a spiritual son who must now carry the torch forward.

In today’s message, Truth Under Fire, Part 2, Pastor Dan Harrison continues his deep dive into Paul’s final charge to Timothy, reminding us that God’s truth is under constant attack—and as followers of Christ, we are called to stand firm.

Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16 – 4:5, Pastor Dan unpacks the power, authority, and necessity of all Scripture, which is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. In a world filled with distorted truths and “itching ears” seeking messages that suit their own desires, we are challenged to preach the Word—faithfully, boldly, and with patience.

You’ll discover:

• Why all Scripture is vital for spiritual growth and discernment

• The danger of compromising truth to fit cultural trends

• How to remain faithful “in season and out of season”

• The importance of enduring hardship while fulfilling your ministry

This message is both a warning and a call to courage for every believer who seeks to live out the Gospel in a culture that resists it.

🎙️ Lean In & Takeaway Challenge:

As you listen today, lean in and invite God to speak truth into your heart.

➡️ Reflect: What is one area of my life where I need to boldly proclaim and live out God’s truth this week?

We challenge you to commit to one practical step this week that demonstrates your unwavering trust in God’s Word—whether it’s sharing Scripture with a friend, correcting a falsehood with grace, or living counter-culturally in obedience to Christ.

In this week’s powerful message, Pastor Dan Harrison takes us deep into 2 Timothy 3:1–17, where Paul warns Timothy of the challenging days ahead—days when truth will be twisted, resisted, and under constant attack. Pastor Dan brings these verses into sharp focus for our current generation, reminding us that we are living in the very times Paul described: “lovers of self… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (v. 2–4).

This sermon, Truth Under Fire, is a bold and timely wake-up call. Pastor Dan identifies the spiritual danger of a “form of godliness” without true transformation and urges believers to stand firm on the truth of God’s Word. Drawing from Paul’s words about Scripture being God-breathed and useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness (v. 16), Pastor Dan challenges us to run from deception, fight for truth, and keep the faith—no matter the cultural pressure or personal cost.

As you listen, ask yourself:

📖 With real-life examples, convicting truth, and a pastoral heart, Pastor Dan equips us to discern truth from falsehood, stay anchored in the Word, and live with endurance in an age of compromise.

Lean in today. Let this message stir your spirit and renew your mind. Invite God to speak personally to your situation and give you clarity where confusion tries to take hold. As you reflect on today’s teaching, here’s your challenge:

🛡️ Stand up for truth this week—even when it’s unpopular. Let your life reflect the power of godliness, not just the form. Be the kind of believer who doesn’t just quote Scripture, but lives it with boldness and love.

“Where am I tempted to settle for a comfortable faith rather than a courageous one?”“Am I letting culture shape me, or is the truth of Scripture transforming me?”

In Part 3 of our powerful sermon series “RUN | FIGHT | KEEP”, Pastor Dan Harrison delivers a timely and convicting message titled “Friendly Fire”, drawn from 2 Timothy 2:14-26. In this message, Pastor Dan challenges the Church to recognize that some of the deepest wounds come not from enemies, but from within the body of Christ itself.

Through this passage, we are reminded that it’s time to stop fighting those who are not our enemy. Pastor Dan outlines three key reasons for “friendly fire” in the Church:

1. A failure to see the real threat – We often aim at the wrong enemy when we lose sight of the spiritual battle.

2. Undisciplined passions and unmet longings – When we try to fill our emptiness with flesh-driven desires, conflict erupts.

3. An insecure desire to always be right – When pride drives our doctrine, we lose the heart of Christ.

But there’s a path forward. Paul encourages Timothy—and us—to stay focused on the mission, let the Holy Spirit fill the empty places, and put on the heart and mind of Jesus in every conversation and confrontation.

Whether you’re dealing with internal church conflict, relational wounds, or trying to navigate theological division, this message is a call back to grace, humility, and gospel-centered living.

🟡 Lean in to this week’s message and ask God to expose areas in your life where friendly fire might be harming your relationships or your witness. The challenge this week is simple yet bold: Speak life, not strife. Let God guide your conversations, discipline your heart, and draw you into greater unity with those around you.
