Bug Eyes
August 13, 2026
1 John 2:15-17 names the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — two of the three tied to what we see. Lust glows like a bug zapper on the patio, delivering on its promise just long enough to draw you close before it zaps. But you are not a bug: you can assess the light, make a covenant with your eyes, and build the guardrail before the moment arrives.

Start With Me
August 13, 2026
Isaiah 6:3-5 shows that when Isaiah finally saw God clearly, he saw himself clearly too—and his first words weren't "wow" but "woe to me." Light works like sunlight on a phone screen: it doesn't make the smudges, it just shows you what was already there. We say we want God to move at our school, but often we just want Him to fix the people who annoy us—yet nothing real ever starts with how bad everyone else is. It starts with God, starting with me.

The Secret Kind of Good
August 13, 2026
Matthew 6:3-4 sounds almost like a riddle—give so quietly that your left hand doesn't know what your right hand is doing. Jesus meant giving should be so secret that you don't even keep track of it, like slipping a kind note into a backpack and never telling. Nobody claps, nobody says thank you, but God sees everything done in secret—and that kind of serving is a special gift only He gets to open.

Hard Hearts, Heavy Consequences
