Live in the Spirit, Not the Flesh

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: John 6:63; Zechariah 4:6; Philippians 3:3–11

DATE: 02-18-25

There is a difference between knowing about God and truly walking with Him. Spiritual life is not sustained by intellect, talent, or human effort—it is fueled by the Spirit of God. You can have knowledge, titles, and accomplishments, but without the Spirit, they amount to nothing of eternal value. To hear God clearly, you must be hungry for Him and willing to quiet the distractions around you. The flesh offers noise; the Spirit offers life. When we live in the Spirit, everything changes, and Jesus is lifted high in every area of our lives.

In Christ,

There Is A Standard

Speaker: Tim Jackson

Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 6:7–11; Romans 12:1–2; 1 Peter 1:13–16; John 4:24; Hebrews 12:14; Ephesians 2:13; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:11–15; Hebrews 9:11–22; Zechariah 4:6

DATE: 02-15-25

God has never called His people to blend in—He has called them to stand apart. Holiness is not about perfection in our own strength, but about surrendering our lives completely to Him. We are invited to present ourselves as living sacrifices, transformed by the renewing of our minds and empowered by His Spirit. Jesus is not coming back for an all-show, no-go church—He is coming for a people who live what they believe. A standard is a unit of measurement used to calibrate by, and our standard is not culture, opinion, or convenience—our standard is Jesus Christ. Through Him we have been brought near, redeemed, and made new. Now the call is clear: live differently, worship in spirit and truth, and pursue the holiness that reflects the One who saved you. It’s not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit that we walk in the life He has prepared.

In Christ,

None of Self, All of Thee

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Matthew 6:16–18; Galatians 5:19–21; Galatians 5:22–23; Hebrews 11:25; 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18; Matthew 17:21; Romans 10:17; John 14:12; Matthew 7:15–20; Isaiah 58:1–14; Psalm 51:17

DATE: 01-04-25

There are times when the noise of the flesh grows so loud that the voice of God becomes hard to hear. Breaking free from bondage, gaining clarity, and walking in true spiritual power requires discipline and surrender. Fasting is a deliberate choice to say no to self so the Spirit can take the lead. It humbles the heart, sharpens spiritual focus, and opens the door for God to redirect, restore, and renew. When self is crushed and laid down, God is able to rebuild something stronger, purer, and more fruitful. True freedom begins when the flesh is subdued and the Spirit is allowed to rule.

In Christ,

Turning the Page: A New Beginning

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Zechariah 4:10; Isaiah 43:19; 1 Timothy 4:8; Galatians 6:8; Joshua 3:4; Joshua 24:15

DATE: 01-04-25

A new year is an invitation to start fresh—to turn the page and begin a new chapter. Turning over a new leaf means leaving old patterns behind and choosing better ones on purpose. Change doesn’t happen by accident; it requires action, commitment, and trust. You are writing your own story, and every decision becomes a line on the page. Small habits form roots—good ones bring life and fruit, while unhealthy ones can grow deep and difficult to remove. When you plant yourself in good soil and nurture what is right, growth follows. This year, choose wisely, trust God with the unknown, and step forward into a path you have not walked before.

In Christ,

In Due Season: Don’t Quit Now

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Galatians 6:6–10; 1 Samuel 30:6

DATE: 12-28-25

There are moments when weariness sets in and quitting feels easier than pressing forward. But this is not the time to slow down or look back. What you plant today determines what you will harvest tomorrow. Strength comes when you choose to trust God, rise up, and keep doing what is right—even when it’s hard. Shake yourself, find your second wind, and move forward with purpose. Burn the bridges that pull you backward so you can fully step into what God has ahead. The time is now.

In Christ,

Emmanuel: God With Us

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Matthew 1:18–25; Galatians 4:4–6; Hebrews 10:5–10; John 1:1; Psalm 46:1; Luke 2:40; Luke 2:52; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Hebrews 4:16

DATE: 12-21-25

From the beginning, God’s plan was not distant or detached, but personal and present. The arrival of Jesus reveals the heart of God stepping into humanity—not to condemn the world, but to redeem it. He came close, walked among us, and made a way for restoration and hope. In Him we see the Savior, the promised Messiah, fully God and fully man, heaven reaching down to earth. This is the story of God with us—faithful, near, and worthy of all honor.

In Christ,

The Great Exchange: The Purpose of Christmas

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Galatians 4:4–7; Deuteronomy 4:9–10; Psalm 78; Genesis 3:15; John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22; Matthew 1:18–25; Isaiah 7:14; Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12–21; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 64:6

DATE: 12-14-25

Christmas is far more than a date on the calendar or a tradition passed down through generations. It is a divine rescue mission, carefully planned long before the first star appeared in the sky. This season calls us to remember, to tell the next generation what God has done, and to refocus our hearts on why heaven stepped into earth. Christmas reminds us that God had a plan, paid the price, and made a way where there was none. When we remove ourselves from the center and return our focus to Him, the holiday becomes a holy day—celebrating the greatest exchange the world has ever known.

In Christ,

Lean On Me

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Exodus 17:8-16; Proverbs 18:24; James 5:17; Galatians 6:2; Hebrews 10:25

DATE: 12-07-25

Everyone faces moments when their strength runs low, and in those seasons, the people around you can make all the difference. We were never meant to fight life’s battles alone. The right friends lift your arms when you’re tired, stand beside you when the pressure is heavy, and speak courage when quitting feels easier. Good friends are a gift from God—strong, faithful, noble, and willing to walk with you through any storm. Surround yourself with those who help you rise, not those who pull you down. With the right people by your side, victory becomes possible, and hope stays alive.

In Christ,
