We are studying Galatians chapter two right now, and today pastor Jim will again remind us that as Christians, we should die to ourselves and let Christ live within us. Given the choice of trusting God with your life, or going it on your own, which would you choose?

A job can be more than a paycheck. It can provide dignity, create opportunities, and open doors for meaningful change in someone's life.

For April Tam Smith, that belief inspired an unconventional approach to generosity: creating a restaurant that serves great food while giving people who need it most a second chance.

April and her husband, Graham, are co-founders of P.S. Kitchen, a nonprofit restaurant in New York City's Times Square. Alongside a group of like-minded partners, they've built a business that combines hospitality, employment opportunities, and charitable giving.

Growing up today means living in a world obsessed with appearances, fitting in and being “enough.” In this episode, Mark chats with two young women at Heartlight who open up about battling anxiety, insecurity and the pressure to perform. Both share how their struggles — whether from family tension, past trauma or the constant hunt for validation — left them feeling isolated and misunderstood. Listen as they unpack how the unhealthy cycles took root and what it really looks like to start finding confidence and self-worth from the inside out.

Every young person longs for love that lasts, yet so many chase it in ways that push it away.  On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares a powerful message for young adults facing life’s biggest decisions. Drawing from his book, Love Must Be Tough, Dr. Dobson explains why respect comes before love, and why holding on too tightly snuffs out the very spark you’re reaching for.

James Brown, CBS host of The NFL Today, shares his personal faith journey, family story, and transformation through Jesus Christ. Brown reflects on the powerful influence of his mother’s faith and discipline, his early struggles after being cut from professional basketball, and the moment in his mid-20s when he turned to God and began a lifelong spiritual commitment. He emphasizes the importance of responsibility, humility, and “walking the talk” as a Christian, both in family life and public influence. The conversation also explores themes of racial unity, the role of Scripture in addressing cultural challenges, and the lastin...

In this message, Chip gives us a snapshot of what the future holds - and the picture is sobering. But what’s coming and how we can prepare for it, is of great encouragement!

I picked up a habit while going out to eat with my young children years ago. It’s a habit I really don’t need to do any more, but I got in the habit of cutting their meat for them. Now, if you’re a parent, you know that you get that old knife out before you start on your own dinner and you cut theirs into bite-size chunks. The problem is that I go out to lunch with a lot of businessmen, too, and I kind of have this reflex to cut their meat. But I’ve never fo...

Does God’s grace mean you can live however you want? The same grace that frees us from guilt and condemnation never gives us permission to indulge the desires of the flesh. Join Pastor Jeff Schreve as he exposes the danger of distorted grace and shows why true Christian freedom leads to joyful obedience, not continued bondage to sin. Discover the freedom Christ gives you to say no to sin and yes to a life that honors Him.

Many of us pour our lives into things that we assume will last forever. But a coming fire will consume everything that won't last, exposing what truly matters.

As a Christian, what kind of battle can you expect to wage against sexual sin? Pastor Colin talks about the expectations we find in the Bible and some reasons for hope.

Getting more of God in your life naturally leaves less room for the things that distract you from Him. Dr. Tony Evans explains the value of living with an eternal perspective and building a spiritual legacy that continues beyond your own lifetime.

If God truly loves us perfectly, then He must perfectly hate our sin. In Exodus 34, see Jehovah—“merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands”—make another covenant with His people. God reminds the children of Israel that He did not save them because they were superior, but because He loves and cares for them as a jealous God.

Many people get uneasy when the preacher starts talking about personal issues. Especially when the subject is sex. But the fact is, sex is one of the few topics that’s addressed in nearly every book of the Bible. God has a lot to say about this topic, and in this series called From the Beginning, Pastor J.D. will explore the Scriptures for clarity and direction on sexual expression and cultivating healthy relationships.

Pride is often called the universal sin because we all want to put ourselves first. Even the disciples of Jesus argue about who will be the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. On this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro discusses the response of Jesus and what it means to be great in the eyes of God.

Someone is counting on you and you can’t afford to sit this one out. On this episode of Know The Truth, Pastor Philip De Courcy reminds us that faith comes with responsibility. God has placed people around us who need us to show up—because when we don’t, they may give up! Learn why loving your neighbor means accepting responsibility.

Some people are lost far from God. Others are lost while surrounded by the things of God.

Teaching from Luke 15, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks Jesus’ parable of the lost coin and exposes the danger of careless, self-righteous religion that overlooks spiritually lost people. God, however, does not overlook them.

Like the woman who lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until the coin is found, God’s love is active and purposeful. His Word brings light, His grace pursues the lost, and Heaven rejoices when one sinner turns back in repentance.

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Psalm 23:5

Many go about today with an incorrect perspective of God. We may believe He is a cosmic killjoy, who only exists to break up our good times. However, when we know God’s heart and His goodness, we’ll find that we feel good about Him.

In Psalm 23:5, David uses three Jewish customs to exemplify how God truly feels about His children. Understanding their meanings can show us how to feel good about God.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God's grace doesn't just meet our every need, His grace overflows even beyond our expectations. So, no matter how deep our sins may be, we can't out-sin what Jesus has done for us.

In a world where false prophecies and uncertain futures threaten to upend our lives, discover the unshakeable certainty of God's presence and plan for your tomorrow.

When God filled the sky with birds, He called His creation "good" - and throughout Scripture, birds are used to point us toward truths about God and His care for us.

Toddlers can’t differentiate between play money and real money. We learn to distinguish the real thing because only legal currency has true value. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg explains why it’s similarly vital to discern false teaching from the truth.
