Send us a textIn Luke 12:1–12, Jesus warns His followers to avoid the “leaven” of the Pharisees—hypocrisy that spreads and corrupts. This message unpacks four warnings and two encouragements from Jesus. Don’t follow false teachers, fear people, deny Christ, or resist the Holy Spirit. Instead, fear God rightly and shine His light boldly. This passage calls us to trade lifeless religion for a real relationship with Jesus. It's a challenge to examine our hearts, trust God's love, and walk in the truth and power of the Holy Spirit.

The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

Send us a textOne thing that got Jesus upset during His earthly ministry was the Scribes and Pharisees hindering people from seeing the Kingdom of God. In this message Pastor Aaron gives us a list of seven things to avoid based on what Jesus said about the actions of the Scribes and Pharisees in Luke 11:37-54.Avoid Outward-Only Righteousness (vs. 37-41)Avoid Check-List Religion (vs. 42)Avoid Prideful Entitlement (v. 43)Avoid Unintended Spiritual Contamination (v. 44)Avoid Rule-Based Religion (vs. 44-45)Avoid Religious Hypocrisy (vs. 47-51)Avoid Hindering People from Coming to Jesus (v. 52)To sum it up, the best way to encounter God is through His grace, NOT through rules and traditions.

1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Are You a Child of God? | 1 John 3:1–10In this message, we dive deep into 1 John 3 to explore what it means to be a genuine child of God. True believers live in light of God's incredible love, knowing their identity as His children and reflecting His righteousness. We’re reminded that being born of God changes how we live—giving us hope, direction, and a call to holiness. This passage encourages us to cherish our identity, pursue Christlikeness, and reject sin. Are you living like a child of God? Let this truth shape your life today.
