    Gest Speaker John George
    Nov 2 2026
    Every one of us came into this world ruled by our senses: hungry, tired, uncomfortable, afraid. That's how babies start, but it isn't how God means for us to stay. This Sunday, guest speaker John George, a friend of Pastor Scott's for close to 40 years, opened Romans 12 and Romans 8 and called us back to the fundamentals of the faith. With stories from a Fort Worth construction site, the football field, and one unforgettable mama bear in northern Canada, he showed how a mind set on the flesh leads to chaos, while a mind renewed by the Word of God leads to life and peace. Renewing your mind isn't a Sunday-only event. It's a daily choice, and it's worth it.

  • Being Steadfast

    Being Steadfast
    Oct 28 2026
    What does it look like to stay the course with God? Pastor Mike goes back to the first church in Acts 2. Three thousand people had just come to Christ, and they didn’t drift. They kept going, steadily, in the apostles’ doctrine, in fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayer. He walks through each of the four and asks whether we’re as devoted as they were. Then he calls us to be sold out to Jesus: forgetting what’s behind, pressing toward what’s ahead, and living lives that overflow with Christ wherever we go. Watch any time at livingwordfamily.org.

  • Difference Makers

    Difference Makers
    Oct 21 2026
    Why are we still here? Pastor Mike gives a simple answer. God left us here on purpose, to be salt and light and to make a difference. Starting in Matthew 5, he shows the progression: God is light, Jesus is light, and now we are light. He then walks through what light does. It cuts through darkness, guides, reveals truth, and warns of danger ahead. He closes with Paul and Silas praising God at midnight in a Philippian jail. Their praise put a light in front of a jailer who asked, “What must I do to be saved?” This is a call for every believer, not just the clergy, to let their light shine. Part 2 next week covers why people don’t share their faith. Watch it any time.

  • Colossians part 9: Forgiven to Forgive

    Colossians part 9: Forgiven to Forgive
    Oct 19 2026
    In Part IX of our Colossians series, Pastor Scott returns to Colossians 3:13, “as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive,” and walks us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18. A servant is forgiven a debt he could never repay, then refuses to show even a fraction of that mercy to someone who owes him a little. Pastor Scott challenges us to see ourselves in the story, to pray David’s humble prayer from Psalm 139, “Search me, O God,” and to rest in how God sees us in Christ: forgiven, holy, and righteous. Mercy received is meant to become mercy given.

  • Colossians part 8: rights and responsibilities

    Colossians part 8: rights and responsibilities
    Oct 12 2026
    What does it look like to live as a new creation at home, at work, and in the church? In Part 8 of our Colossians series, Pastor Scott walks through Colossians 3:12–4:1. Put on compassion, kindness, humility, and patience, and above all, put on love. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Then Paul turns to our closest relationships, husbands and wives, parents and children, workers and bosses, and gives each person their own assignment. None of them is “make the other person do theirs.” In Christ we have rights and privileges, and we also have duties and responsibilities because of who we are in Him. Come see how focusing on the second makes the first come more naturally.

  • Preach the Gospel Anyway

    Preach the Gospel Anyway
    Oct 8 2026
    What do you do when God gives you a word, and the people who should welcome it most want to silence you? In Jeremiah 26, the prophet stands in the temple court and tells Judah exactly what God said, without holding back a word. The priests and prophets call for his death. Another prophet, Uriah, delivers the same message and pays for it with his life. Pastor Scott Millis walks through this chapter with a challenge, some encouragement, and a warning. God’s people have never had a pass on sin. The cross dealt with sin once for all, but that is no license to take it lightly. Our covenant promises forgiveness, provision, and healing, but it does not promise that everyone will welcome the gospel. Christ still calls us to come and die to the old life, so we preach the gospel anyway and live the gospel anyway, because Christianity is built on resurrection.

  • Colossians part 7: Dead and Alive

    Colossians part 7: Dead and Alive
    Oct 5 2026
    We've heard it many times: "Jesus didn't come to make bad people good; He came to make dead people live". We read in the New Testament that we were dead in our sins, but that Christ has made us alive! The Holy Spirit spoke to the believers in Colossae (and to us) through Paul's letters that Christ's death killed our old, dead selves, and in HIS resurrection we are raised to new life IN HIM! And that new life comes with privileges and duties; rights and responsibilities.

  • Renewed You part 3

    Renewed You part 3
    Sep 30 2026
    In Part 3 of “A Renewed You,” Pastor Mike Mack moves from renewing our minds to living it out. He starts by walking through Romans 12:9–21, Paul’s picture of what a renewed mind looks like in real life: love without hypocrisy, honoring one another, blessing those who persecute us, and overcoming evil with good. He reminds us that the mind is the control center of our lives and that we should never call ourselves (or our kids) names. Then he names the next step: keep a heart of thanksgiving. Refuse to complain, and don’t magnify your problems. Magnify Him.
