Episode 66: What Happened To Your Joy - Pastor Scott Beardsley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. Little by little, we can replace the joy of the gospel with the burden of religion and find ourselves simply going through the motions. In Galatians 4:12–20, Paul asks the believers a deeply personal question: “What happened to your joy?” This message examines how we drift from Christ and how we can return to the joy found in His grace. Remember where your joy began. Evaluate the voices shaping your heart. And pursue Christ, not just Christian activity
Episode 65: The Price of a Broken Family - Pastor Scott Beardsley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The biggest storms that destroy a family usually begin long before anyone notices the damage. In this message from the Shaped in the Shadow series, we return to the heartbreaking story of David and Absalom in 2 Samuel 18:31–33. David’s grief reveals the devastating consequences of years of unresolved sin, broken relationships, misplaced priorities, and rebellion. But this passage is more than a warning. It is also a reminder that regret does not have to define our future. While we cannot rewrite
Episode 64: Don't Go Back - Pastor Scott Beardsley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Freedom in Christ is one of the greatest gifts we can receive, yet it’s surprisingly easy to drift back into the very things Jesus has already set us free from. In this message from Galatians 4:8-11, we look at Paul’s warning to believers who were beginning to turn away from the freedom of grace and place their confidence back in religious performance, self-reliance, and human effort. Grace reminds us that our acceptance before God is not something we earn. It is secured through the finished wor
Episode 63: The First Fruit of Your Labor - Pastor Scott Beardsley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We work hard for what we have, and it’s easy to begin thinking of our money, possessions, time, and abilities as our own. But Scripture reminds us that everything we have first came from the gracious hand of God. In this Labor Day message from 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, we look at what it means to live as faithful stewards rather than owners. God isn’t simply interested in what we give. He wants our hearts, our priorities, and our trust. Grace changes the way we give. It changes our priorities, our at
Episode 62: When Your Family Turns Against You - Pastor Scott Beardsley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of the deepest wounds we experience can come from the people we love the most. In 2 Samuel 15, David faces one of the greatest heartbreaks of his life as his own son, Absalom, turns against him and David is forced to flee Jerusalem. Yet even in the middle of betrayal, grief, and uncertainty, David shows us what it looks like to trust God when the people closest to us fail us. His story reminds us that God’s faithfulness is greater than human faithfulness, that we cannot allow bitterness to
