  Finding Contentment When More Is Never Enough | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene

  Aug 31, 202635 min

  We keep imagining that contentment is waiting at the next raise, the next milestone, or the moment life finally settles down. The trouble is that “enough” keeps moving. In Philippians 4:11-19, Paul writes about learning contentment while thanking a church for its generosity. Rich explains why that connection matters: generosity is a practice that loosens greed's grip and teaches our hearts to trust Jesus in seasons of both plenty and need. This message also returns Philippians 4:13 to its context. The verse does not mean we will always win. It means Christ gives us strength when we do and when we don't. Speaker: Rich Greene Message: Jesus Is Enough Date: August 30, 2026 Scripture: Philippians 4:11-19; Matthew 6:19-21 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

  How to Move Through Spiritual Dryness | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Chris Cary

  Aug 24, 202641 min

  Jesus told the church in Ephesus that they were still doing faithful work, but they had left their first love. It is possible to keep serving and praying while something inside grows cold. Chris understands that tension. In this episode, he talks about the season when his prayers felt like they were hitting the ceiling and the spiritual habits that once helped no longer felt effective. Rather than treating that wall as proof of failure, Chris offers a way to face it honestly, stop trying to outperform it, and let God and trusted people meet us there. Speaker: Chris Cary Message: Hitting the Wall Date: August 23, 2026 Scripture: Revelation 2:4-5; 2 Timothy 1:6; Psalm 103:2-3; 1 John 1:9; Acts 1:8, 14 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

  Forgiveness Takes One. Reconciliation Takes Two. | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene

  Aug 24, 202637 min

  Esau came toward Jacob with 400 men. Jacob had taken the birthright that belonged to his brother and then stayed away for decades. When they finally met, Jacob bowed seven times. Esau ran to him, embraced him, and both brothers wept. Watching from the back of the family was a young Joseph. Rich points out that Joseph would one day need that same picture of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation when the brothers who sold him into slavery stood before him. In the final week of Getting Over It, Rich Greene holds these two reunions beside Paul's command to forgive as Christ forgave us. One person can release a debt. Reconciliation also needs the person who caused harm to repent. When repair is impossible or contact would be unsafe, forgiveness can still send the hurt away without reopening the door. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Getting Over It, Week 3 Date: August 16, 2026 Scripture: Ephesians 4:31-32; Colossians 1:20-22; Matthew 6:12, 14; Genesis 33:1-4; Genesis 45:1-15 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

  When People Hurt You, God Still Stands With You | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene

  Aug 10, 202641 min

  Paul knew what it was to be harmed by one person and abandoned by people he trusted. He did not pretend the hurt was small. He named what happened, left justice with God, kept a wise boundary, and prayed for those who failed to stand beside him. In Week 2 of Getting Over It, Rich walks through Paul's response in 2 Timothy 4 and the assurance underneath it: “The Lord stood with me and gave me strength.” This is an honest conversation about resentment, prayer, boundaries, and learning to trust God's presence when people have let us down. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Getting Over It, Week 2 Date: August 9, 2026 Scripture: Ephesians 4:26-32; 2 Timothy 4:14-18; Luke 6:27-28; Proverbs 19:11 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

  How to Let Go of Anger and Bitterness | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene

  Aug 3, 202641 min

  Some hurts do not disappear quickly. A betrayal, an absent parent, a broken relationship, abuse, or years of small offenses can leave anger and bitterness working below the surface long after the moment has passed. In Week 1 of Getting Over It, Pastor Rich teaches from Ephesians 4:26-32 about the grace we have received and the grace we are called to give. This message names the difference between repressing pain, rehearsing pain, and releasing pain to God. Releasing is not pretending the harm was okay. It is bringing what is real to God so resentment does not keep defining your future. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Getting Over It Week: 1 Working message title: Release It Date: August 2, 2026 Scripture: Ephesians 4:26-32; 2 Corinthians 5:15, 19; Acts 7:57-60 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give
