  Episode 66: What Happened To Your Joy - Pastor Scott Beardsley

  Sep 15, 202633 minS6

  Spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. Little by little, we can replace the joy of the gospel with the burden of religion and find ourselves simply going through the motions. In Galatians 4:12–20, Paul asks the believers a deeply personal question: “What happened to your joy?” This message examines how we drift from Christ and how we can return to the joy found in His grace. Remember where your joy began. Evaluate the voices shaping your heart. And pursue Christ, not just Christian activity.

  Episode 65: The Price of a Broken Family - Pastor Scott Beardsley

  Sep 15, 202636 minS6

  The biggest storms that destroy a family usually begin long before anyone notices the damage. In this message from the Shaped in the Shadow series, we return to the heartbreaking story of David and Absalom in 2 Samuel 18:31–33. David’s grief reveals the devastating consequences of years of unresolved sin, broken relationships, misplaced priorities, and rebellion. But this passage is more than a warning. It is also a reminder that regret does not have to define our future. While we cannot rewrite yesterday, we can choose obedience today. God’s grace can bring hope, forgiveness, and restoration even to broken families and broken stories. In this message, we consider three important truths: • Deal with sin before it grows. • Prioritize your family before success. • Don’t let regret keep you from obeying God. Ultimately, David’s longing to take his son’s place points us to the greater love of Jesus Christ, who willingly gave His life to redeem sinners and restore our relationship with God. If there are wounds, regrets, or broken relationships in your family, don’t wait for another storm. Bring them to the Lord today.

  Episode 64: Don't Go Back - Pastor Scott Beardsley

  Sep 8, 202634 minS6

  Freedom in Christ is one of the greatest gifts we can receive, yet it’s surprisingly easy to drift back into the very things Jesus has already set us free from. In this message from Galatians 4:8-11, we look at Paul’s warning to believers who were beginning to turn away from the freedom of grace and place their confidence back in religious performance, self-reliance, and human effort. Grace reminds us that our acceptance before God is not something we earn. It is secured through the finished work of Jesus Christ. This message challenges us to recognize the things we may be trusting besides Christ, stop measuring our relationship with God by our performance, and rest daily in the finished work of Jesus. Christ has already paid the debt, broken the chains, and brought us into the family of God. The question is, will we live in that freedom, or will we choose to go back? Scripture: Galatians 4:8-11

  Episode 63: The First Fruit of Your Labor - Pastor Scott Beardsley

  Sep 8, 202631 minS6

  We work hard for what we have, and it’s easy to begin thinking of our money, possessions, time, and abilities as our own. But Scripture reminds us that everything we have first came from the gracious hand of God. In this Labor Day message from 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, we look at what it means to live as faithful stewards rather than owners. God isn’t simply interested in what we give. He wants our hearts, our priorities, and our trust. Grace changes the way we give. It changes our priorities, our attitude, and our purpose. Instead of giving reluctantly or out of obligation, we can give joyfully because God has already given us so much through Christ. This message challenges us to put Christ first in our finances, faithfully invest in the mission of the local church, and live with open hands instead of closed fists. Ultimately, our generosity is not about money. It’s about worship and recognizing that 100% of what we have belongs to God. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

  Episode 62: When Your Family Turns Against You - Pastor Scott Beardsley

  Sep 8, 202638 minS6

  Some of the deepest wounds we experience can come from the people we love the most. In 2 Samuel 15, David faces one of the greatest heartbreaks of his life as his own son, Absalom, turns against him and David is forced to flee Jerusalem. Yet even in the middle of betrayal, grief, and uncertainty, David shows us what it looks like to trust God when the people closest to us fail us. His story reminds us that God’s faithfulness is greater than human faithfulness, that we cannot allow bitterness to control our lives, and that genuine worship doesn’t stop when life enters the valley. David’s journey also points us toward Jesus, the greater Son of David, who experienced betrayal, rejection, and suffering before going to the cross for our sin. Through Christ, our identity is no longer defined by the family we came from or the people who have rejected us, but by the God who calls us His own. If you’re carrying the pain of family conflict, rejection, or betrayal, this message is a reminder: keep trusting, keep worshiping, and keep believing that God is still writing your story—even in the valley. Scripture: 2 Samuel 15:13-30
