Chad Veach preaches from Ezra 7:10 and calls the congregation to be 'obsessed' with Jesus. He draws three practical steps from Ezra's devotion: learn the Word, live the Word, and teach the Word. Veach contrasts mere Bible-knowledge with a faith that is practiced and shared, using stories (Zacchaeus, the woman at the well, Paul's conversion, his dad's testimony) to illustrate transformation and the power of testimony. He ties obedience and witness to revival, saying God's gracious hand rests on those who learn, live, and teach God's ways.
“For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and to the observance of the law of the Lord and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.” · Chad Veach
Take it with you
Practical next steps: 1) Set a regular habit to study Scripture (not just verse-of-the-day - read, memorize, and meditate). 2) Intentionally apply one biblical truth each week (ask: how does this change my speech, choices, or relationships?). 3) Share what God is doing - start by telling one friend or neighbor your testimony and inviting them to church or a small group.

Do Your Job | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that work is part of God's good design - given before the Fall - and should be understood as worship, not punishment. He develops that idea by showing how the Hebrew word avoda links work and worship, urging Christians to do their jobs with excellence as an act of service to God.
How to Get Debt Free | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preached from John 18, showing three pictures of Jesus at the garden arrest: Jesus the Lamb, the Lion, and the Lover. He uses the geography of the Kidron brook and the olive press to explain Jesus’ willing, atoning death (the Lamb), then shows Jesus’ sovereign authority when he says “I am” and the armed men fall (the Lion).
How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
