Prayer

Real marriages are messy and need maintenance, repair, and sometimes real fixing, but fake images and fake fixes never solve anything — only truth from God's Word does. Pastor TJ walks through three proverbs that show how to stop the cycle of complaining, choose better words, and bind a marriage to Christ so it can actually be repaired.

Anxiety feels like the human condition, but Jesus teaches that worry never actually solves anything. The disciples in the storm forgot two things: that Jesus was in the boat with them, and that He cared — and those are the same two things we forget when our own storms hit.

Busyness itself isn't sin, but a life with no margin makes us susceptible to sin and disappointment. Jesus shows Martha and Mary, and His own example of withdrawing to pray, that we must identify the few non-negotiable things that please God, put them on the top shelf of our lives, and refuse to let even good things knock them off.
