In Week 2 of our Foundations series, we explore what it means to not just put God first—but to love Him first. Discover how reordered affection leads to renewed closeness, lasting obedience, and a faith formed by love, not obligation.

Foundations: when God is first, everything else finds its place. This series helps us align our lives with God’s Word so our faith can stand firm when life tests what we’re built on.

Hungry hearts pursue truth. Fearful hearts cling to control. Resistant hearts hold back surrender. In Matthew 2, one Jesus reveals three responses—seeking, protecting, resisting—inviting us to examine our hearts and choose surrender over control.

Faith is often tested in the waiting. In this message from the Emmanuel series, we’re reminded that God speaks before He moves—and silence is not absence. Hold fast to His promises, stay faithful, and trust that there is a proper time.

In this message, we see the heart of Christmas: God steps toward us first. From the garden to the wilderness to Emmanuel, discover a God who pursues, meets us in our hiding, and walks with us toward freedom.

Correction isn’t punishment—it’s love. In this message, Pastor Clint reminds us that the Good Shepherd uses correction to guide, protect, and restore us. When we trust His voice, His guidance brings comfort, clarity, and life.

God protects us from more than we’ll ever see. The Shepherd stands between us and every unseen threat, fighting battles we never knew existed. Stay close—His presence is your protection, your covering, and your peace.

In Psalm 23, we’re reminded that God prepares a seat for us—even in the presence of everything that pressures us. His goodness and mercy pursue us, and His presence becomes the home our hearts have been searching for.
