Why do we always feel the need to be noticed?

In this message, we unpack 1 Corinthians 13:4—“Love does not boast”—and discover why the real opposite of love isn’t hate… it’s selfishness.

Boasting isn’t just pride—it can be insecurity looking for attention. But real love shifts the spotlight.

👉 This week’s challenge:
Highlight someone else in every conversation—and point to God’s goodness.

You may find freedom where you least expect it.

What do you do when your relationship with God feels right, but something still feels off? Jesus points us to a truth we often overlook: unresolved conflict with others can hinder our worship.

In this Jump Start devotional, we continue the conversation on mending our messes by looking at Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:23–24. We explore why confession to God is essential, but not always sufficient, and why reconciliation with others matters deeply to our spiritual walk.

Feeling spiritually stuck or discouraged after a misstep? In this Spiritual Jumpstart, we return to one of the most basic—and most powerful—truths of the Christian life: how to mend a mess-up when we’ve fallen short. Using 1 John 1:9, this message walks through God’s road to recovery when sin disrupts our walk with Him. Rather than hiding, blaming, or minimizing our failures, Scripture invites us into a simple but life-giving process of restoration.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:

• Why taking responsibility is the first step toward spiritual renewal
• What it really means to confess—and why “telling on ourselves” matters
• How God’s faithfulness and justice guarantee forgiveness and cleansing
• How confession resets our relationship with God and restores joy

This message is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t come from pretending we’re perfect—it comes from honestly bringing our failures to a gracious and faithful God. If you need a reset, a fresh start, or a reminder of God’s mercy, this short devotional is for you.

What if the greatest Christmas gift was sitting right in front of you… unopened?

In this heartfelt Christmas message pastor Jesse Waggoner shares a true family story—a living room filled with warmth, laughter, children, and presents under a glowing Christmas tree. As the night winds down, one mysterious gift remains. No one knows who it belongs to.
That moment becomes a powerful picture of a much deeper truth.
Christmas is about a gift God has already given—a gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Yet, like that final present under the tree, it’s possible to leave God’s gift unopened.

Through Scripture from Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8, this message explains:
• Why we need a Savior
• What God’s gift truly is
• How salvation is received—not earned
• And how simple faith opens the greatest gift of all

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to believe, to receive God’s grace, or to take a step of faith, this message is for you. And if you already believe, it’s a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the gift we celebrate at Christmas.
Don’t leave the gift unopened.

Merry Christmas, and may God bless you as you celebrate Jesus—the Savior of the world.
