Forward Church Sermons

When we choose gratitude, we’re not just obeying Scripture—we’re reshaping our hearts and even our brains to trust God’s goodness. Like the disciples who forgot the miracle of the loaves, anxiety often comes from forgetting who Jesus has already proven Himself to be. When we remember His faithfulness and give thanks, peace—both spiritual and biological—rises up to guard our hearts and minds, empowering us to live calm, steady, and confident in every circumstance.

The Cure for Anxiety and a Formula for Peace - Clint Byars

Most of our pain comes from the stories we tell ourselves - not the people around us. When we stop taking things personally and choose gratitude over judgement, we begin interpreting life through our identity in Christ rather than our ego. This renewed lens produces peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

It's Not All About You - Clint Byars

Your words reveal the atmosphere of your heart, and gratitude is the fastest way to shift that atmosphere. When peace guards your heart, it governs your mouth and empowers you to walk in love with the people closest to you.

Season Your Words with Gratitude - Clint Byars

Family Sunday 11-30-2025

This Christmas, we fix our eyes on the Word made flesh-Light with no darkness. Love revealed, the Anointed Savior, the unchanging Father of lights, and the Preeminent One through whom and for whom all things were made. Our joy is made full not by examining ourselves but by the looking unto Him.

The Force of Love

Sermons

Marriage is a reflection of Christ’s relationship with his body. The husband is to love his wife as she responds with respect. This is the recipe for a thriving and fruitful marriage.

We really could just stop there but those of us who are married know it’s not that easy. When we look at the lengths to which Jesus went to make his bride his cherished eternal partner, we don’t see him demanding a response. We see Jesus dying for mankind and extending his love for us before we ever loved him back. So should a husband love his wife.

A marriage in proper order is not when the man has authority over his wife but when the husband is bringing unconditional love into the relationship that produces the fruit of respect from his wife.

Submit to One Another - Clint Byars

Do you know how to enjoy being one flesh with your spouse? No, not that, although that's fun too. I’m talking about knowing each other's dreams and passions. Not as interesting? You may change your mind.

The Apostle Paul refers to our union with our spouse a mystery. While there are plenty of jokes that could follow, what he’s talking about is the nature of the spiritual union in marriage. He describes it as a husband and wife being glued together. He gives the example that we are one with our spouse as Christ is one with his church. He even goes so far as to say if a husband loves himself he’s loving himself. He doesn’t say it’s “like” loving yourself, he said it “IS” loving yourself.
