262 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Your Commercialism
David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom. We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of "not enough," and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You'll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.

260 // The Sermon on the Move
This week, Brad Kirby walks through two powerful passages where Jesus meets three people who want to follow Him but keep offering polite delays. Their hearts are stirred, but their feet stay still. Jesus responds with clarity that following Him is not a part-time commitment. It is a whole-life movement that calls us forward with purpose, urgency, and focus. If you have ever struggled with hesitation, excuses, or the fear of taking the next step, this message helps you see what it means to live your faith on the move, not just in theory.

259 // Radical Roads
Every road leads somewhere. Some feel easy at first but end in ruin, and some feel costly at the start but lead to life. In this week's Radical message, Brad Kirby teaches through Matthew 7:13–29 and shows how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose wisely. The narrow road, the healthy tree, the true disciple, and the firm foundation all point to one simple truth. Life with Jesus is the only road that lasts. If you've ever wondered how to tell the real thing from the fake, or how to build a faith that stands when pressure hits, Jesus gives the answer right here. He is not offering suggestions. He is offering life.

258 // Radical Persistence
This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn't a transaction; it's an expression of love between a Father and His children. When we ask, seek, and knock, we're not trying to get God's attention. We're responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn't what He gives. It's who He is.

257 // Radical Judgment
Judging others is easy. Seeing ourselves clearly? That's hard. In this week's Radical message, Josh Fortney walks through Matthew 7:1–6, where Jesus teaches us how to judge with humility, mercy, and wisdom. Jesus doesn't tell us to stop using discernment. He calls us to check our motives, confront our own sin, and restore others gently. True judgment doesn't condemn — it helps people see clearly. Whether you tend to be overly critical or overly cautious, this message shows how followers of Jesus can balance truth and grace in relationships that reflect His heart.

This week, Brad Kirby walks us through Jesus' teaching on worry in Matthew 6:25–34. Jesus calls us to live by faith rather than fear, reminding us that our heavenly Father already knows what we need.

255 // Radical Values
This Sunday, Brad Kirby walks through one of Jesus' most challenging teachings on money and the heart. In Matthew 6:19–24, Jesus warns against storing up treasures on earth and reminds us that our money always follows our heart. It's not about guilt, it's about freedom. When we stop serving money and start trusting God, we find joy, purpose, and peace that no dollar can buy. Looking for practical insight on biblical stewardship and contentment? This message will help you see wealth, work, and worship through the lens of eternity.

253 // The 10 Truths That Hold Up a Healthy Church
This week, we're taking a one-week break from our Radical series for a one-off message from David Marvin called "The 10 Truths That Hold Up a Healthy Church." In this message, David walks through ten biblical truths that form the foundation of a Christ-centered church. A healthy church is built on unity, humility, generosity, faithfulness, and love, all centered on the person and mission of Jesus Christ. These truths remind us that the strength of the church is not in what we do but in who we follow. A church that stands on Jesus and lives out His Word becomes a light to the world around it.
