Let’s Dance | Leading My Thoughts
Like the teachers of the law we can “entertain evil thoughts in our hearts.” We can’t control what we think but we can control whether we entertain, feed, and nurture our thoughts.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Parenting
There may not be a more overwhelming task than raising children. The key to being a parent is to recognize that our children do not belong to us. We have the high calling of aiming them toward Jesus in a dangerous world.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Success
Solomon had everything the world uses to measure success and he had more of it than anyone has ever had and referred to it as “chasing after the wind.” We are not in control of life’s outcomes, but we can control our faithful pursuit of following Jesus each day.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Femininity
Our culture teaches women that in order to prove their equality with men they must try to outdo men, or often embrace the worst stereotypes of counterfeit masculinity. The Bible paints a very different picture of what being a woman is all about.

Counterfeit | Counterfeit Masculinity
Our culture teaches men that they can gain their value and worth through their performance on a field, at work, or in the bedroom. The essence of manhood is a God given mandate to provide for and protect.

The Verdict Is In | The Pardon of God

The Verdict Is In | The Sentence of God
From classrooms to living rooms to boardrooms, we live in a country that rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior. In this message, we will see that if we put our faith in Jesus, God will reward us for our good deeds. If we don’t put our faith in Jesus, God will punish us for our bad deeds.

The Verdict Is In | The Justice of God
It takes an all-knowing and all-seeing God to judge the world in a way that tips the scales of justice towards a completely unbiased outcome. In this message we will look at God’s plan to judge the earth of all the right and wrong behaviors and the legal standard he will use to do it.

The Top Shelf | The Self-Sacrificing God
We tend to measure love by a willingness to go the extra mile, sacrifice time, and lay aside personal desires for the good of someone else. God is the most self-sacrificing being in the universe. The ultimate example of that is His willingness to allow His Son to die on the cross for our sin. In this message we’ll talk about the role of self-sacrifice and how no one expresses it better than God.

The Top Shelf | The Ever-Present God
Nothing brings us more comfort and peace than to be in the presence of someone who loves us. Love heals wounds, gives hope and makes relationships flourish. Being loved unconditionally never gets old. In this message, we’ll talk about God’s irrepressible, always-present love that brings security and strength.

The Top Shelf | The All-Knowing God
Who’s the wisest person you know? Our answer to that question probably includes education, insight, emotional intelligence, and breadth. God’s knowledge is unlimited and incomprehensible. He learns nothing because He knows everything. The Biblical term is “omniscience.” In this message we’ll look at the limitlessness of God’s knowledge and how understanding that affects our devotion to Him.

The Top Shelf | The All-Powerful God
What comes to your mind when you think of power? Most people think of status, wealth, education, or influence. When it comes to understanding God’s power we move into an entirely different realm. God can do anything as easily as He can do anything else. In this message, we’ll look at the evidence for God’s amazing, unlimited power.

Storm Warning | Eye on the Sky
Instead of looking to our circumstances for hope and confidence, Jesus challenges us to look at who He is and what He has done. Instead of demanding that He do something for us we can see what He’s already done and live with faith moving into the future.
Feb 05, 2024•30 min
Storm Warning | Storm Chasing
Sometimes Jesus calls us into something that doesn’t make any sense. In those moments we have an opportunity to trust and obey Him. When we do it’s easy to become distracted by the level of adversity that comes our way after we’ve stepped out in faith. Thankfully, we have a Savior who doesn’t condemn us when we lose sight of Him in the midst of the storm.

Storm Warning | Storm Shelter
When a storm hits in life we can seek shelter in a lot of things. Often the things we run to are destructive. Jesus is the only one who is not only able to save us, but is also with us in the middle of the storm.

Storm Warning | Calm Before the Storm

Born in a Barn | Jesus’ Messy Mission
The Magi or “Wise Men” were religious outsiders searching for Jesus. While the wise men traveled a long way to find Him, they didn’t travel nearly as far as Jesus did to find them. Jesus came for everyone and that includes you and me. In this message we will see that no matter how far we’ve run, how much we’ve done, or how broken we are, Jesus came to rescue us and restore us.

Born in a Barn | Jesus’ Messy Friends
The shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth were a rough crowd. Shepherds were looked down upon, ostracized and lived in the margins of a “respectable” society. The kind of people that surrounded Jesus when He was born were a foreshadowing of the kind of people He would befriend later in life. In this message, we will learn that Jesus was and still is a friend to sinners like us.

Born in a Barn | Jesus’ Messy Home
Mary and Joseph had to exercise a tremendous amount of faith to be obedient during Jesus’ birth. The rumors about Mary and Joseph swirled around Jesus for the rest of his life and his critics used those rumors against Him. In this message, we will look at how to overcome a rough childhood and generational behaviors that need to be broken.

Born in a Barn | Jesus’ Messy Family
Jesus’ family tree was full of sinful, broken people. In this message, we will see that Jesus didn’t come in spite of our broken families. He came for our broken families.

The Ends of the Earth | Multiplying Church Leaders
An older couple named Priscilla and Aquila took a bright, young leader named Apollos under their wing and downloaded the wisdom they had into heart and mind (Acts 18).

The Ends of the Earth | Protecting Children
Jesus gave a very clear command and very stark warning about harming children (Matthew 18). The most vulnerable people in the world are the children who are being taken advantage of and have no one to provide for them and protect them. In this message, we will look at how Southland is quietly serving an often overlooked demographic of boys who are being trafficked in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

The Ends of the Earth | Reaching the Unreached
Jesus commanded his first followers to “go” (Matthew 28) and to “be his voice” (Acts 1) so every person on the planet would have a chance to hear the good news about God’s love. In this message, we will look at how Southland is targeting densely populated urban areas in Japan, one of the most unreached countries of the world.

Epicenter | Corinth (Exchanging Idols for Jesus)
One of the oldest and most diverse cities in the world, Corinth was a hub of polytheism due to its port. People from all over the world traveled to and through this trade center, exchanging material goods and philosophical ideas that led to the worship of all kinds of false gods. In this message we will look at the cultural idols in the Commonwealth and a Biblical approach to deconstructing them.

Epicenter | Rome (Exchanging Death for Life)
The capitol city of the most powerful empire the world has ever known had a strange fascination and fixation with death. From gladiator fights in the Coliseum, to discarding unwanted babies in the trash, to maiming slaves, to savagery on the battlefield, the citizens of Rome were desensitized to the beauty and value of life. This message we will look at what we can do in the Bluegrass state to elevate the eternal value of every person who lives here.
