In a world full of conflicting voices about womanhood and marriage, God offers a beautiful and countercultural design.

In a culture that normalizes sexual immorality, God calls us to walk in the light and live differently. Paul contrasts the purity of God's love with the destructive pull of lust, impurity, and greed.

In Minecraft, a strong base keeps you safe from mobs and disasters.  Yes, even in Minecraft, your home can be destroyed by fire, explosions, floods and more.  In life, building on the rock (Jesus) gives you stability in every storm.

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s action. And the clearest expression of love is service. In week four of What Matters Most, we’re looking to Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve. His selfless love is our model and our calling. Because when we truly grasp how deeply Jesus has served and saved us, we can’t help but serve others.
