Living Today With Eternity in Mind | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At 52, Rich began meeting with a mentor who told him, “I just want to help you finish well.” Ten years later, that conversation still helps explain what he means by the long game: a life of faith that keeps pointing people to Jesus, even after we’re gone. In the first week of The Long Game, Rich brings that perspective into the life we’re living now. He reflects on growing older, being renewed in faith, and trusting Jesus with the concerns that can occupy our whole day. The question he asks us t
What It Really Means to Be Blessed | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Chris Cary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We say “blessed” so often that we can stop hearing what it means. Chris returns to the blessing God asked the priests to speak over his people and lingers on the thought of God turning his face toward us. That kind of attention matters when we’ve begun to think of ourselves as a failure or feel forgotten. Through Jesus’ teaching and the prayer of Jabez, Chris invites us to receive God’s care in the season we’re actually living in and to ask him for room to bless others. Speaker: Chris CaryMessag
Finding Contentment When More Is Never Enough | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We keep imagining that contentment is waiting at the next raise, the next milestone, or the moment life finally settles down. The trouble is that “enough” keeps moving. In Philippians 4:11-19, Paul writes about learning contentment while thanking a church for its generosity. Rich explains why that connection matters: generosity is a practice that loosens greed's grip and teaches our hearts to trust Jesus in seasons of both plenty and need. This message also returns Philippians 4:13 to its contex
How to Move Through Spiritual Dryness | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Chris Cary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus told the church in Ephesus that they were still doing faithful work, but they had left their first love. It is possible to keep serving and praying while something inside grows cold. Chris understands that tension. In this episode, he talks about the season when his prayers felt like they were hitting the ceiling and the spiritual habits that once helped no longer felt effective. Rather than treating that wall as proof of failure, Chris offers a way to face it honestly, stop trying to outp
Forgiveness Takes One. Reconciliation Takes Two. | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Esau came toward Jacob with 400 men. Jacob had taken the birthright that belonged to his brother and then stayed away for decades. When they finally met, Jacob bowed seven times. Esau ran to him, embraced him, and both brothers wept. Watching from the back of the family was a young Joseph. Rich points out that Joseph would one day need that same picture of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation when the brothers who sold him into slavery stood before him. In the final week of Getting Over I
