How Should We Live? | Johnny Graves
In today’s culture, many say they are “open,” open to new ideas, open to freedom without limits. But what does true freedom really look like? Is it living without boundaries, or is it found in the life God has designed for us? Scripture shows us that boundaries are not a burden, but the very path to joy, purpose, and life with God. In this message, our very own Johnny Graves closes out our “Summer in the Scriptures” Series with a powerful message exploring the difference between cultural openness and biblical freedom, why God’s design offers the only way to lasting life, and how Jesus fulfills what our restless hearts are searching for. True freedom isn’t found in limitless choices, but in surrender to the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

The Clever Covetous Heart | Exodus 20:1-17 | Sidney Bowie
What does it mean to truly trust God’s provision, and what happens when our hearts crave more? In this first message from our Summer in the Scriptures series, guest speaker Sidney Bowie of City Relief takes us deep into the Tenth Commandment: “You shall not covet.” With passion, humility, and rich biblical insight, Sidney unpacks the hidden power of covetousness, not just as a behavioral issue, but as a heart condition that subtly erodes our contentment and warps our worship. Drawing from Exodus 20, Genesis, and Colossians 3, Sidney reveals how covetousness isn’t simply about wanting more—it’s often masked as admiration or inspiration, yet quietly displaces our trust in God and fuels self-centered living. He challenges us to examine the motivations behind our desires and consider whether what we pursue is truly for God’s glory, or our own gain. This message is both convicting and freeing. It calls believers to root out the idols that quietly grow in our hearts and to rediscover the joy of selfless, outward-focused living, serving the marginalized, embracing gratitude, and finding satisfaction in Christ alone. If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, envy, or discontentment—or simply want to live more intentionally in a world that constantly says, “you need more, ”this sermon will reorient your heart toward the God who is enough.
