In a world filled with conflict, comparison, and spiritual tension, what does it truly mean to lead like Jesus? In this week’s message, Pastor Rich walks us through 1 Corinthians 13 and reminds us that unconditional love is not just a virtue — it’s our greatest spiritual weapon. Drawing from Ephesians 6:12, Pastor Rich shows that the battles we face aren’t against people, opinions, or ideologies, but against spiritual forces that can only be overcome through the love of Christ. You’ll discover: ✔️ Why love—not gifting—is the true measure of spiritual maturity ✔️ How a blinded or misplaced heart keeps us from loving well ✔️ Why leaders must love unconditionally, even when it’s difficult ✔️ How enduring love prepares us for eternity ✔️ What it means to trust God fully as the first step toward loving others Whether you're a seasoned leader, a new believer, or someone searching for hope, this message will challenge and encourage you to live out a love that reflects the heart of Jesus. 📖 Key Scriptures 1 Corinthians 13 Ephesians 6:12 Micah 6:8 🕊️ If you need prayer or made a decision for Christ today, visit our website or message us — we’d love to connect, pray with you, and help you take your next step in following Jesus. 📍 New Faith Church — Canal Winchester, Ohio https://www.newfaithcw.org Connect.

Before you speak again… pause. Your words carry more power than you realize. Scripture tells us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21), and in this message we unpack how the words we speak shape our heart, our home, our relationships, and our influence. In this sermon, Pastor Rich walks through Proverbs 18:20–21 and explores: - How words are seeds that produce fruit in our lives - Why the condition of your heart determines the words you speak - How negative speech drains purpose, identity, and influence - Why speaking life is a calling for every believer - How Jesus, the Living Word, transforms how we talk, think, and love Whether you're struggling with discouragement, negativity, or frustration—or you simply want to grow in maturity and influence—this message will help you align your words with God’s heart and speak life into the people around you. 📖 Key Scriptures Proverbs 18:20–21 Matthew 15:18 2 Timothy 2:22 John 1:1 ⛪ Need Prayer?
