It's easy to feel as if God has forgotten you in the middle of your "wilderness" season. But why is that we forget His past miracles the moment a new crisis arises? Pastor Dean Skinner breaks down the dangerous cycle of spiritual forgetfulness. In Psalm 106: 7-13, the Israelites, who witnessed the parting of the Red Sea and the destruction of their enemies, soon forgot what God had done. When we forget God’s kindness and miracles, we stop waiting for His plan to unfold and start demanding our own way. This message is a call to anchor our souls in the truth that even when we are prone to forget, God never forgets us.

Lost? Forgotten? Wandered too far to ever come back? In Luke 15, Jesus responds to the religious leaders who were critical of Him for welcoming "sinners," using three parables that reveal the relentless, seeking, and celebrating heart of God. Pastor Dean uses the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son to show God doesn't just wait for us to find Him—He actively pursues us. Whether you feel like the sheep that wandered off, the coin that was misplaced, or the son who walked away, there is a Father waiting to welcome you home. Pastor Dean preaches a call to hope for anyone who is praying for a lost loved one and a reminder to all of us that we serve a God who specializes in finding what was lost.

I Corinthians 13: One of the most famous passages in the Bible. Often read at weddings, this "Love Chapter" is actually a radical challenge to how we live, serve, and relate to one as followers of Christ. Pastor Dean reveals that love is not just a feeling or a polite gesture; it is the "preeminent virtue" that gives meaning and value to every other spiritual gift. Whether it is speaking in tongues, having mountain-moving faith, or giving everything to the poor, Pastor Dean reminds us that without love, these actions are reduced to "noisy gongs" and "clanging cymbals." Pastor Dean challenges us to move beyond "religious performance" and into a lifestyle defined by the greatest power in the universe: The love of God.

Is your soul refusing to let go of a grudge? We've all been there before. Pastor Dean Skinner addresses a topic we all need but often find difficult to give: Forgiveness. Drawing from the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18:21-35, Pastor Dean explains that while unforgiveness is a "serious problem," through Jesus Christ, it is a "solvable problem". Forgiveness is not about the other person "earning" it, it's about you choosing to live in the freedom and blessing that God has prepared for you.
