This week at Beach Church, Pastor Joe Donahue delivered a powerful message on lust, pornography, and sexual addiction. Drawing from Matthew 5, he explained how Jesus’ strong words remind us that sin begins in the heart, and how unchecked lust dehumanizes others and traps us in shame. The good news is that Jesus doesn’t just call us to cut sin off—He invites us into freedom, forgiveness, and a new identity in Him.

In this message, Pastor Joe Donahue shares a personal story that challenges us to reflect on how we respond to anger. Looking at Matthew 5:21–26, we discover why Jesus connects anger with the same judgment as murder, and why reconciliation matters deeply to God. True worship flows from humble, reconciled hearts that choose grace over pride.

In this message from Lead Pastor Joe Donahue, we explore what Jesus meant when He said He came to fulfill the law. By understanding the differences between the civil, ceremonial, and moral laws of the Old Testament, we see why Jesus’ death and resurrection brought freedom from the old system and invited us into life in the Spirit. Discover how loving God and loving people can truly turn your world upside down.

In this message kicking off our Upside Down series, Pastor Joe Donahue explores what it truly means to live like Jesus. Using vivid stories and scripture from Matthew 5, Colossians, and 2 Corinthians, we’re reminded that our words matter and that our brokenness is where Jesus shines most clearly. We are invited to live boldly, speak with grace, and reflect Jesus through our real, everyday lives.
