In this week’s message from LifeChurchNV, we continue the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11–19, exploring a piercing question: Why did nine walk away without gratitude?

True gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”  it’s about remembering who God has b...

What does it mean to forgive someone before they say sorry or even before they hurt you? In this powerful message, we unpack Jesus’ stunning example: how He washed the feet of the one who would betray Him, shared a meal with the one who would deny Him, and loved His disciples to the end, even though they would abandon Him.

What does real forgiveness look like—and why does it matter so much to Jesus? Matthew 18:21–35 unpacks how forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s the clearest picture of the gospel we can live out.

What if everything you thought about forgiveness was only half the story? In this powerful message, discover how real forgiveness isn’t about minimizing hurt or forcing reconciliation… but about releasing the debt, surrendering your rights, and choosing kindness even when it costs.

Why is it that we can be close to God in proximity, but far from Him in heart? In this final message from Party for One, We explore the story of the older brother in Luke 15:25–32—the son who stayed home, did all the right things, but couldn’t join the celebration.
