The Bible is black and white on some matters; on others, it is open to interpretation. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to relate to others on “debatable matters” in ways that honor them and still honor the inherent truth of God’s Word.

The Bible encourages us to “hide God’s Word in our hearts” (Psalm 119:11). When we understand the inherent value of the text and its power to set us free, we will be motivated to internalize it. This week, Aaron House from Piercing Word delivers a powerful and captivating message on the importance of memorizing the Word of God and provides practical tips for starting on that journey!

Applying Scripture takes diligent work. It takes some understanding of context, covenants, and a relationship with the Holy Spirit to really understand and apply effectively. Learn how to apply the bible in your life with this teaching by Pastor Jimmy Nimon.

While it can be challenging to study scripture when we don’t always understand the context or the language within, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can find ourselves drawn to the Bible instead of intimidated by it. In this week’s message, Pastor Renee Groff guides us through some practical steps on how to study the Bible and how to develop a passion for reading it. 

We should be moved by the needs of others and find practical ways to meet them. We should be patient with their imperfections and quick to forgive them. We should share in their joys and sorrows as if they were our own. This is living and loving like Christ. This week Pastor Lydia Nimon wraps up our FIRST series with a message focused on how to love others with the love of Christ.

We are on a mission to please the Lord! The question is this: what is available to me and how can I use it to love God better? We are to use all our tangible capacities (our time, money, resources, accomplishments, influence, talents, etc.) as an outward expression of our love for Jesus. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about loving the Lord with all of our strength.

A relationship with Jesus should not be merely intellectual – it should involve our feelings. While loving God with all our heart involves our emotions, loving Him with our soul means we follow wholeheartedly, even when we do not feel like it. Affection leads to devotion – when our affections are captured, our choices will inherently become God-centered. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about what it means to live a life motivated by agape love. Great Things - Phil WickhamThere’s No Other Name - Bethel MusicThrone Room Song - Charity GayleMake Room - Community MusicMore Like Jesus - UPPERROOM

Fasting continues to be one of the primary ways we clear out distractions and reset our focus on Christ. If we are to truly live with a “FIRST” mentality, then it will be imperative that fasting becomes a consistent practice in our spiritual journey as we rid ourselves of everything that competes for first place in our lives, returning the Lord to His rightful place. In this week’s message Pastor Jimmy Nimon kicks off our “FIRST” series and encourages us and we prepare to embark of our 21 days of prayer and fasting starting on January 8!

In Matthew 1, the angel tells Joseph to name the child Jesus, which was a common name at that time, but then he says the child will save HIS people from their sins, making Him unlike all the other little boys who may have borne the same name. Jesus was conceived in Mary from the Holy Spirit, making Him fully God and fully man. His unique identity makes all the difference for us. In this week’s message, Pastor Steve Sabol talks about why it was necessary for Him to identify with us as humans and what our response should be in how we live our lives, knowing that the power available to Him is now available to us?Be Glad - Cody CarnesThrone Room - Kari JobeYours (Glory + Praise) - Elevation WorshipForever YHWH - Elevation Worship

The genealogical records in Matthew and Luke include the uncommon and unforgettable people who make an appearance in an otherwise common family tree. Even Jesus had both positive and negative people in His family line, but the truth is, our spiritual lineage will outweigh our biological lineage every single time. In this week’s message, Pastor Renee Groff talks about how God redeems the parts of our family line that we aren’t so proud of.Again + Again - Red Rocks WorshipBehold - Phil Wickham (Feat.

We tend to expect what we’ve seen before or what makes sense to our natural minds. After a pause of several hundred years, the fulfillment of all the prophecies about Jesus’ birth, while aligned with scripture, were still unexpected. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon, talks about finding Joy when we face unmet expectations. What if, instead of expecting to be disappointed in how God shows up, we could learn to anticipate that He will be even better than we expected?Be Glad - Cody CarnesAll Hail King Jesus - Phil WickhamReign Above It All - Bethel MusicBehold - Phil Wickham (Feat.
