Thinking Like Jesus, Thinking Right | Pr. Daniel Gordan
In a world where many people consume content without truly thinking, Christians are called to develop the mind of Christ. Paul contrasts God's wisdom with worldly wisdom, emphasizing that the mind of Christ comes through the Holy Spirit, not through education or self-improvement. This supernatural thinking prioritizes spiritual truth over social approval and self-gratification. While the Corinthians initially received the mind of Christ but later reverted to worldly thinking, believers today can develop Christ's mind by thinking about Jesus regularly, allowing the Holy Spirit to manage thoughts, setting aside time without digital distractions, and making decisions through the lens of Christ's perspective.

Always Before My Face! | Pr. Jay Gallimore
The secret to spiritual victory lies in setting the Lord always before your face through constant communion with Him. Jesus demonstrated this practice by keeping His eyes fixed on the Father, which enabled Him to overcome every temptation. This continuous awareness of God's presence is achieved through rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything. When we surrender completely to Christ and maintain this communion, we receive spiritual strength, healing, and protection. Though difficulties may come, we can trust that God permits them only for our good, working all things together for those who love Him.

King Jesus and the Problem of Tyranny | Pr. Cedric Vine
In a culture deeply skeptical of authority, Jesus offers a revolutionary model of leadership. By uniting the roles of judge, priest, king, and prophet, Jesus could have become the ultimate tyrant. Instead, at His baptism, God declared Him both King (Psalm 2:7) and Servant (Isaiah 42:1). Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently rejected power without service, even when tempted by Satan in the wilderness and mocked at the cross. This servant-king model transforms our understanding of authority—showing that true leadership combines power with selfless service to others. The future of Christianity depends on followers embracing this countercultural approach of denying ourselves and living for others rather than seeking power for its own sake.

What Does the Lord Require of You | Pr. Roy Gane
The story of the rich young ruler explores the profound question of inheriting eternal life. Despite his wealth and status, this young man sensed something missing and sought Jesus for answers. Jesus challenged him to move beyond rule-following to a deeper commitment—selling his possessions, giving to the poor, and following Christ. This encounter reveals that eternal life isn't earned through moral behavior but received as a gift when we do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The rich ruler's inability to let go of his wealth highlights our own struggle to surrender what we value most to fully follow Jesus.

The Neurology of Victory | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Peter instructs believers to long for God's Word with the same intensity that babies crave milk—with urgency and complete focus. Our brains constantly rewire themselves through neuroplasticity, forming pathways that become stronger with repetition. When we experience pleasure, dopamine reinforces our desires, but many harmful stimuli can hijack this system. The profound exchange between Jesus and Peter reveals that when we confess who Jesus is, He declares who we are. By intentionally creating neural pathways focused on Christ rather than controversy, we can rewire our brains for faith instead of fear.
