This series walks through Matthew 5 as Pastor Rick challenges us to confront the areas of our lives where we avoid truth—our attitudes, private struggles, relationships, and identity. Each message reveals that spiritual growth and a stable future begin not with outward behavior, but with honest self-examination and alignment with what Jesus says about who we are and how we should live.
