Love & War: War On Marriage
Onward Community Church
Marriage was never meant to be casual—it’s sacred and worth fighting for. In Love & War, we’ll look at Ephesians 5 and God’s design for a marriage marked by sacrificial, selfless love. This is a call to protect, honor, and contend for the kind of love that reflects Christ Himself. Scriptures: Ephesians 5: 22-33

Spiritual But Not Religious: I want God, Not Rules
Onward Community Church
The heart of following Jesus isn’t rules or religious duty. It’s relationship. We’re not asking, “What do I have to do to stay in line?” We’re asking, “Who do I get to love?” In John 15:12–17, Jesus invites us to live from love, not obligation—loving others as a response to being loved by Him. Scriptures: John 15:12-17

Spiritual But Not Religious: the Bible Can't Be Trusted
Onward Community Church
What we can test, we can trust—and the Bible invites honest examination. Critics often aim at three targets: the Bible has changed, it contradicts itself, and it clashes with culture or science. Yet history, manuscripts, and context show Scripture has been faithfully preserved, consistently unified, and truthfully aligned with reality. If the Bible passes your test, the real question remains: will you choose to trust it? Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 10:5, 1 Peter 3:15, Matthew 5:18

Light in the Darkness
Onward Community Church
We need light because without it we stumble, lose direction, and settle into chaos. The light doesn’t just help us see where we’re going—it reveals who we are becoming. Jesus is the Light who guides us out of darkness, reshaping our hearts and leading us into purposeful, kingdom-centered living Scriptures: Luke 1:76-79, John 8: 12-14

Who Am I? - Friend
Onward Community Church
Friendship with Jesus means He is present with us in every moment, meeting us in exactly the way we need—not distant or conditional, but constant and faithful. Where we often get it wrong is reducing that friendship to feelings or emotional highs, when real friendship with Jesus is built on trust and surrender. True friendship with Jesus always leads to transformation, shaping who we are, how we live, and how we love. Scriptures: John 15: 12-17

Who Am I? - Humility
Onward Community Church
Humility grows out of true JOY—putting Jesus first, others second, and yourself last. When our hearts are ordered this way, we reflect the self-giving love of Christ and discover the freedom and joy that come from living beyond ourselves. Scriptures: Phillipians 2:5-11, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Corinthians 4:1-4

Who Am I? - A Citizen's Confidence & Comfort
Onward Community Church
As we begin the Advent season, we remember that we are citizens, not the King. Too often we climb onto a throne that isn’t ours, trying to rule our own lives. But Advent invites us to step down from the throne and let the King be King. When we shift our identity from king to citizen, we find the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living under the reign of the One who has come — and is coming again. Scriptures: 1 Timothy 6:13-16, 1 Corinthians 4:3-4, 2 Corinthianas 12: 7-10, Hebrews 4:15-16
