Sunday, March 30, 2025 - BRP[Bible Reading Plan] - In God We Trust - Psalm 49

“In God We Trust”… but do we really?The very thing we chase — wealth, security, comfort — carries a hidden warning right on its face: Trust in God. Psalm 49, written centuries before Christ, exposes a timeless struggle that affects both the rich and the poor, the faithful and the skeptic. In this video, we break down the uncomfortable truth about money’s seductive power and what it really costs us — our time, our energy, even our souls.
· Why does money promise so much but deliver so little?· Who’s the real shepherd of your life — Jesus or death?· And why does the Bible say trusting in wealth is as foolish as being a beast?
This isn’t just another message about generosity — it’s a wake-up call about the battle we all fight, whether we have too much or not enough.
Stick around to hear the two words that change everything: “But God…”You don’t want to miss this.
Hit play, and let Psalm 49 reshape how you see your bank account, your time, and your legacy.

If you’ve ever felt forgotten, discouraged, or spiritually dry, this teaching will remind you that God can handle your honesty—and He’s still your hope.

Sunday, February 23, 2025 - Daniel: A Powerful Lesson on Humility

This week, Pastor Rick continues our Daniel series by exploring Daniel 4, where King Nebuchadnezzar learns a hard lesson about pride. Despite his power and success, the king refuses to humble himself before God—until God humbles him. Through Nebuchadnezzar’s downfall and restoration, we see that pride blinds us to God’s role in our lives, but humility opens the door to His grace. This message challenges us to choose humility before God chooses it for us and reminds us that His heart is always for repentance and restoration.

Sunday, February 16, 2025 - Daniel: Fire Insurance

This week, Pastor Matthew continues our Daniel series with the powerful story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. In Daniel 3, we see that when life heats up, our response is determined by the decisions we’ve made beforehand. These three men refused to bow to a counterfeit image, choosing instead to stand firm in their faith—no matter the cost. This message challenges us to decide now where we stand, trust God with the outcome, and look for Jesus in the fire.
