When a religious expert asked Jesus which commandment matters most, Jesus revealed that love for God and love for others are the foundation of everything. This isn't about adding more tasks to our to-do list, but about understanding that God is the organizing center of life. True transformation comes not from trying harder, but from musing on God's love for us. When we truly grasp that there's one God in the universe who chose to love us first, our hearts naturally respond with love for Him and others.

The principle of preeminence teaches that God isn't merely first among our priorities—He is the foundation upon which everything else should be built. God doesn't respond to our love; He initiates it, demonstrating this through Christ's sacrifice while we were still sinners. When we give God our first and best rather than leftovers, we demonstrate trust and worship. This principle challenges us to examine where our treasure truly lies.

In his sermon, Pastor Edward addressed the common struggle with temptation, assuring his congregation that believers are divinely equipped to overcome it. He explained that while temptation is a universal experience, God provides a way of escape, allowing us to endure rather than give in. Ultimately, Pastor Edward emphasized that our victory is found in our faith in Jesus, who has already conquered sin and temptation on our behalf.

Pastor Jason addresses spiritual stagnation, framing it as a normal part of a believer's journey rather than a personal failure. He encourages the congregation to view these periods as opportunities for growth and to combat them through community, spiritual practices, and a renewed commitment to personal development and mission.

The main message is that Christians are called to be citizens of God's kingdom first while engaging wisely with earthly politics. Pastor Ryan outlines that believers should fear God above all, honor and obey authorities when not in conflict with Scripture, maintain peaceful relationships with all people, and avoid both political idolatry and political passivity.

Pastor Ryan begins a new series on politics by reflecting on the past political season, where Christians often prioritize their political parties over their faith, leading to disunity and a loss of witness. He introduces the series by emphasizing that true Christian allegiance is to King Jesus alone, and the church's primary mission is to be a community that lives by His values, not by political rhetoric.

This sermon addresses how conflicts often reveal our idols and misplaced passions, explaining that the root cause of relational strife is typically our desire for things we value more than God. Pastor Ryan then outlines five principles of Christ-centered confrontation (overlooking offenses, being quick to hear, owning our part, forgiving quickly, and resting in gospel identity), emphasizing that true reconciliation is possible through Christ who reconciles all seemingly irreconcilable differences.

Pastor Jason addresses the topic of singleness, arguing against common cultural misunderstandings and lies. He emphasizes that both singleness and marriage are good and unique gifts from God, meant to foster a person's relationship with Him. Pastor Jason encourages both single and married individuals to find their wholeness and true value in their relationship with Jesus, rather than in their temporary life roles or stations.

This sermon examines the enslaving power of money, arguing that it's a spiritual issue of idolatry rather than a simple financial problem. It teaches that true freedom from this bondage is found by making Jesus, rather than earthly wealth, our ultimate treasure.
