Summer Classics: Moses & the Burning Bush | Pastor Josh Evans
When God called Moses, he responded with insecurity, fear, and excuses. He questioned his identity, his ability, and whether anyone would believe him. But God continually redirected Moses away from his weaknesses and toward His presence and power. God does not ask us to power the mission. He asks us to make ourselves available. Our confidence is not found in believing we are enough, but in knowing that God is enough.
Summer Classics: Joshua | Pastor Josh Evans
What do you do when you're facing a wall that seems impossible to overcome? In this week's message from our Summer Classics series, Pastor Josh looks at the story of Joshua and Jericho (Joshua 6:1–20) and reminds us that God's faithfulness doesn't change, no matter how intimidating the obstacle may seem. Whether you're facing a broken relationship, financial pressure, fear, addiction, or an uncertain future, this message encourages us to trust God's promises, obey Him even when His plan doesn't make sense, and remain faithful while He works behind the scenes.

Summer Classics: Jonah | Jonah 1 | Pastor Josh Evans
Jonah is more than the story of a man swallowed by a great fish. It's the story of a God who relentlessly pursues those who run from Him, extends mercy to the undeserving, and offers second chances to all who repent. In this message, we'll see how our disobedience affects those around us, why God sometimes uses storms to draw us back, and how the book of Jonah ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, our only source of deliverance. Join us as we continue our Summer Classics series and discover the timeless truths found in one of the Bible's most familiar stories.
The Prodigal Son | Pastor Josh Evans
This week in our Summer Classics series, we look at one of Jesus' most famous parables, The Prodigal Son. More than a story about a wayward son, this passage reveals the heart of a loving Father who pursues the lost and extends grace to the undeserving. Whether you identify with the younger brother, the older brother, or the father, this message reminds us that the Gospel is God's invitation to come home and experience His grace. #SummerClassics #TheProdigalSon #Luke15 #UGBC #Grace #Forgiveness #JesusSaves

Life Hacks: Words | Proverbs 12:13-14 | Pastor Josh Evans
Words matter more than we realize. In this message from Proverbs 12:13-14, we look at the power of our speech - the content of our words, the tone we use, and the purpose behind what we say. Scripture reminds us that words can bring healing or destruction, encouragement or damage, life or hurt. Once words leave our mouths, we can’t take them back. So the question becomes: what kind of wisdom is shaping the way we speak? 📖💬 Life Hacks #5 - Think Before You Speak
Life Hacks: Bad Behaviors | Proverbs 8:13 | Pastor Josh Evans
Bad behaviors don’t just create bad moments - they lead to bad outcomes. In this message from our Life Hacks series, we walk through Proverbs and uncover the destructive patterns that quietly sabotage relationships, spiritual growth, and everyday life. We talk about: +Laziness and missed opportunities +Pride and self-righteousness +Gossip and destructive words +Anger and conflict +Revenge and bitterness +Gluttony and lack of self-control +Envy and comparison But Proverbs doesn’t just expose the problem... it gives us the remedy. God’s wisdom teaches us how to replace destructive behaviors with humility, diligence, patience, kindness, contentment, and self-control. Because wisdom isn’t just about being smart. It’s about living a righteous life that honors God 💚 #Proverbs #LifeHacks #ChristianLiving #Wisdom #Faith #UnionGrove #BibleTeaching #UGBC #JesusChangesEverything
Life Hack #1: Wisdom | Proverbs 1:1-8 | Pastor Josh Evans
Everyone wants shortcuts that actually work - but what if real life change doesn’t come from trends, but from truth? We’re kicking off a brand new series called Life Hacks, walking through the book of Proverbs and uncovering practical, biblical wisdom for everyday life. In week one, we focus on wisdom - what it really is and why it matters. Wisdom is not just knowledge, it is the ability to apply truth to your everyday decisions. In this message, we break down the difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, and why so many people have information but still struggle to live well. We also look at the source of true wisdom - not from the world, but from God - and how it shapes your choices, your relationships, and your future. Proverbs doesn’t give quick fixes or step-by-step formulas. It gives principles that guide your life. And the first life hack is simple but powerful - get God’s wisdom before making daily decisions. If you’ve ever needed direction, clarity, or help making better decisions, this series is for you.
Temporada 23
Deliver Us From Evil | Matthew 6:5-13 | Pastor Josh Evans
We wrap up The Blueprint of Prayer by looking at “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:5-13). Temptation is something we all face - but it doesn’t have to lead to sin. In this message, we unpack what temptation is, where it comes from, and how it works against us, from our own flesh to the influence of the enemy. But there’s real hope - the same God who forgives past sin gives power for present victory. You don’t have to give in - you can overcome. We also look at practical ways to guard your life by being intentional about the people, places, and patterns that shape you, and by learning to follow the Spirit daily.
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread | Matthew 6:5-13 | Pastor Josh Evans
What does it mean to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”? In Week 4 of The Blueprint of Prayer, we explore how Jesus teaches us to trust God - not just for eternity, but for our everyday needs. This prayer reminds us: • God provides what we need, not just what we want • We depend on Him daily, not just long-term • We pray not only for ourselves, but for others 📖 Matthew 6:5-13 Stop worrying about tomorrow - trust God for today. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more 🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss a message #Prayer #DailyBread #Faith #TrustGod
