Junk in the Trunk
October 8, 2026
Proverbs 4:23 calls us to guard our heart above all else, because everything we do flows from it. Many of us carry baggage from family of origin, temperament, and unhealthy conflict styles so long that we forget it is there, until it crashes into our relationships. Guarding the heart means opening the trunk honestly and inviting God to sort through what we have been carrying.

Will You Give Me a Drink?
October 8, 2026
John 4:7-10 teaches us through Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman that no person is too distant, overlooked, or outside the boundaries of His love. We can follow His example by crossing barriers, starting genuine conversations, and listening well as we trust Jesus to open the door for something deeper.

October 8, 2026
Exodus 3:11-12 teaches us that when we feel too small or afraid for what is ahead, what matters most is not how strong we are but that God is with us. We can be brave and take the next step because we never have to face big things alone.

Not Orphans
John 14:16-18, 26-27 teaches us that Jesus has not left us to face life alone; the Holy Spirit lives within us to teach, guide, remind, and strengthen us. We can walk into uncertain situations with confidence and peace, trusting that God’s presence goes with us wherever we go.

Same Owner’s Manual
Psalm 127:1-2 reminds us that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. A relationship can have a beautiful view and still be built on sand, and the first real storm will expose the foundation. When two people share the same owner's manual, conflict has a common authority to turn to, and there's a rest that comes from letting God be the architect.

Teach Us

Listen, Known, Follow
John 10:27 reminds us that Jesus is our Good Shepherd who knows us completely, speaks to us, and invites us to follow Him. As we keep listening to His voice and staying close to Him, we can grow in a lifelong relationship of knowing, trusting, and following Jesus.

Heart for the House
Hebrews 10:24-25 calls believers not to give up meeting together but to spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Following Jesus and loving his church can't be separated, and someone who says they love the Groom but wants nothing to do with the bride is missing something important. Look for a person with a genuine heart for the local church, and make sure you have one yourself.

Hungry in the Wilderness
Luke 4:1-4 teaches us through Jesus’ temptation that we do not have to face our weakest moments with willpower alone; God gives us His Spirit and His Word to help us stand firm. By filling our hearts with Scripture before temptation comes, we can respond with truth and trust God instead of giving in.

Ready to Answer
1 Samuel 3:10 teaches us to have a ready heart like Samuel, listening to God with a willingness to obey what He shows us. We can decide ahead of time to say yes to God, trusting His loving guidance and courageously following His ways.

The Umbrella
Ephesians 5:21-25 begins with mutual submission and then calls husbands to love their wives the way Christ loved the church. God's authority is like an umbrella: the protection is right there, but so many of us hold it at arm's length and wonder why we're getting soaked. Authority issues are a hidden cause of relational breakdown, and the call is to stop fighting over the umbrella and step under it.

Before He Did Anything
Matthew 3:13-17 teaches us through Jesus’ baptism that obedience flows from relationship and love, not from trying to earn God’s approval. Because God’s love comes before our performance, we can courageously take public steps of faith and live like we belong to Jesus.
