What Right Looks Like: We Know | Week 6 | Chris Emmitt
2w ago00:37:38Tap to summarizePastor Chris confronts our tendency to build faith on podcasters and social media influencers rather than God's testimony about Jesus as Messiah. Using John's crystal-clear message—"whoever has the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son does not have life"—he challenges us to examine what voices shape our beliefs and what occupies the center of our hearts. His closing fable powerfully illustrates this truth: "He who gets the Son gets it all."

What Right Looks Like: What is Love? | Week 5 | Gerald Fadayomi
3w ago00:46:17Tap to summarizeWhat if the hardest person to love is holding the key to your freedom? Through God's sacrificial love demonstrated at the cross, we discover love isn't acceptance or emotion, but "a sacrificial commitment to desire and seek another person's good, even at personal cost."

What Right Looks Like: Warning! | Week 3 | Chris Emmitt

Ready to stop buying Satan's lies and stand courageously in your faith?

What Right Looks Like: Familiar and Fresh | Week 2 | Chris Emmitt
Apr 2600:35:16Tap to summarizePicture this: Jesus, hours before his crucifixion, washing the feet of the very disciples who would deny, betray, and abandon him—including Judas who had already sold him out for thirty pieces of silver. Pastor Chris reveals how this ultimate act of sacrificial love becomes our blueprint for loving the "unlovable" people in our lives. Through First John's powerful teaching on walking in light versus darkness, discover how the Holy Spirit empowers us to love those who've hurt us most—not because they deserve it, but because Christ modeled this revolutionary love first.

What Right Looks Like: Light vs. Dark | Week 1 | Chris Emmitt
Apr 1900:32:08Tap to summarizePastor Chris delivers John's uncompromising truth: God is pure light with zero darkness, yet many Christians live as "liars"—claiming fellowship with God while deliberately walking in spiritual darkness. This isn't about salvation but intimate fellowship with the Creator. John, Jesus' closest disciple, promises that walking authentically in God's light brings unmatched joy—but it demands brutal honesty about our hidden darkness.
