What does an $850,000 Instagram scam have to do with your daily struggle for approval? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Scotty unpacks how our hunger for validation—whether through likes, accolades, or hiding our flaws—leaves us vulnerable to deception and discontent. Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6:1 (“Be careful not to perform for applause”) becomes a lifeline as we confront modern-day hypocrisy: the pastor who craves sermon claps, the parent obsessed with “perfect” kids, and you.

You’ll walk away with two game-changing phrases: “I don’t care what you think” and “I deeply care what God thinks.” Learn how anonymous generosity, embracing an “audience of One,” and surrendering your need for recognition can unshackle your soul. Through real stories and biblical truth, discover why God’s approval—proven on the cross—is the only validation that never fades. Stop performing. Start living. Your freedom begins here.

In a world filled with half-truths and spin, this sermon explores humanity’s universal struggle with lying—from toddlers fibbing about snacks to adults bending truths daily. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:33-37, the message challenges us to let our “Yes be Yes” and “No be No,” calling us to radical honesty. It’s not about avoiding oaths but dismantling the heart’s tendency to manipulate, exaggerate, and hide.

The sermon exposes how even subtle lies—in relationships, social media, or casual promises—erode trust and distance us from God’s design for integrity. Jesus invites us into a countercultural way of life where words align with reality, and authenticity replaces image management. True freedom comes from hearts transformed by grace, not polished performances.

Closing with hope, the message reminds us that honesty begins with embracing our identity as beloved children of God. His forgiveness covers our failures, and His Spirit empowers us to live truthfully—even when it’s hard. Tune in to rediscover the liberating power of a life rooted in radical truth.

Think it’s impossible? You’re not alone—but what if grace could change everything?

What happens when the fairy-tale promises of marriage meet real-life struggles? In a world where divorce is common and marriages often falter, how does Jesus speak into the pain and stigma?

Pastor Scotty continues our “Change of Heart” series with a compassionate look at marriage, divorce, and God’s grace. Exploring Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount, this message reveals how He challenged cultural norms to protect the vulnerable and address the heart’s deepest struggles.

From flawed marriages in the Bible to the hope of second chances, this sermon offers grace for the broken, whether your marriage is strong, struggling, or has ended. Discover a God who turns broken vows into opportunities for redemption and calls us to love with humility and mercy.

Come as you are—married, single, or divorced—and find hope in a God who heals and restores.

Let’s get real. Sexuality and desire are part of our humanity, yet many of us carry hidden pain, shame, or silent battles—especially in a world (and even church) where it’s easier to pretend than to bring our struggles into the light. But here’s the truth: God isn’t embarrassed by your story, and neither are we.

Jesus reminds us that desire itself isn’t the enemy—it’s a gift. The danger begins when lies twist that gift into something that isolates and destroys. Pastor Scotty opens up about his own journey, revealing how Jesus breaks the grip of lust with grace and truth.

This isn’t about condemnation. It’s about freedom. No matter where you’ve been, there is hope. Jesus doesn’t just forgive; He heals. He doesn’t just call us out; He calls us beloved.

You’re not alone. You’re not stuck. And you don’t have to hide. This is a safe place to heal, to find hope, and to take the next step toward freedom.

Not all anger is wrong—Jesus Himself expressed righteous anger at injustice and sin. But while anger can be a natural and even necessary response to wrongdoing, it can also take root in unhealthy ways—turning into resentment, contempt, or bitterness. In this message, we’ll explore Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, where He calls us to look beyond surface-level behavior and examine what’s growing in our hearts. Anger, like bad fruit, often stems from deeper roots of pride, hurt, or unmet desires, and Jesus invites us to address the source rather than just manage the symptoms.

Through four practical steps—stop, go back to the person, lead with kindness, and stay humble—we’ll discover how to handle anger in a way that honors God. This isn’t about suppressing our emotions but surrendering them to Christ, allowing His grace to transform us. Whether you wrestle with grudges, passive aggression, or a sense of justice that burns hot, there’s a better way forward. Join us as we learn to let anger serve its right purpose without letting it take over our hearts.

In this sermon, Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20 invite us to consider what kind of fruit our lives are bearing. True righteousness isn’t about following rules or keeping up appearances—it’s about becoming a healthy tree that produces good fruit naturally. As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we’ll explore how Jesus transforms us from the inside out, cultivating a life where love, humility, and grace grow effortlessly from a renewed heart.
