Whose View Stands? Luke 5:33-6:11
When you look at the world around you, what lens are you using? In Luke 5:33–6:11, Jesus finds Himself in a series of tense interactions with the Pharisees over fasting, Sabbath tradition, and healing. While religious leaders viewed faith through a rigid framework of rules, ceremony, and human...

Fully Known, Fully Loved: Luke 5:1-39
What would happen if someone knew everything about you and still loved you? In Luke 5, we meet four very different people whose lives are forever changed by an encounter with Jesus. Through their stories, we discover the extraordinary love of Jesus, a love that meets us right where we are and…

The Messiah & His Mission: Luke 4:16-44
The gospel is good news for everyone, but how will we respond to it? In this message from Luke 4:16–44, we look at Jesus' ministry through three distinct responses: 1- The Messiah Rejected (vv. 16–30): Good news offered, yet rejected in His hometown. 2- The Mission Demonstrated (vv. 31–41): Jesus...

How The Kingdom Works: Luke 3:1-4:15
The Kingdom of God doesn’t work the way the kingdoms of this world do. In Luke 3:1–4:13, we see that in God's Kingdom there is a different kind of power, a different kind of identity, and ultimately a different kind of King. John prepares the way through humility and repentance, the Father…

When God Remembers: Luke 1:39-80
After generations of waiting, the silence is finally breaking. In Luke 1:39–80, the Spirit fills ordinary people, John leaps for joy, Mary sings, and Zechariah’s once-silent mouth opens in praise. God has remembered His promises, and His mercy is moving toward His people. This message looks at…

What if God Can? Luke 1:1-38
How can you trust God and hold on to His promises even when everything around you feels like it's impossible? In our first sermon in Luke, we see how God's word is always fulfilled. When He promises, He will do it.
-
Nothing Can Separate Us: Romans 8:35-39
What if the hardest thing you face could never separate you from the love of God? In this sermon through Romans 8:35-39, we come to one of the most comforting promises in all of Scripture: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. We are reminded that suffering does…

Romans 8:31-32: God is For Us
We can know the gospel is true and still struggle to live as though it’s true. In Romans 8:31–32, Paul reminds us that God has already chosen His side, and He is for us. The cross is the ultimate proof of His love, freeing us to live with assurance rather than striving to earn His approval.
-
The Glorious Voice of God: Psalm 29
In a world that often reshapes God into someone smaller, safer, and more manageable, Psalm 29 calls us to behold the God who cannot be domesticated. His voice shakes mountains, His glory fills the earth, and His throne stands above every storm. Yet this same God blesses His people with strength…

The Wondrous Mercy & Justice of God: Psalm 28
How can a holy God be both perfectly just and overwhelmingly merciful? In Psalm 28, we explore the wondrous beauty of God’s holiness—and why His justice is both necessary and good to protect it.

-

-
Integrity through Adversity: Psalm 26
True character isn't built in a vacuum; it is revealed in the fire. In this sermon, "Integrity through Adversity," we explore Psalm 26 and David’s raw plea for God to examine his heart. When opposition strikes from every side, how do we keep our footing? David’s prayer forces us to confront the...
-
The Answer to Our Longing: Psalm 24
Psalm 24 asks one of the most important questions in all of Scripture: “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?” Beneath that question is humanity’s deepest longing: not just to admire God’s beauty, but to dwell in His presence. In this message, we follow Psalm 24 from creation, to our need for a...
-
What to Do When Life Feels Heavy: Psalm 23
Life can feel heavy. We carry responsibilities, fears, expectations, grief, uncertainty, and the pressure of trying to hold everything together. The older we get, the more weight we seem to accumulate. But what if we were never meant to carry it all? In this message from Psalm 23, we explore why...
-
Hope Through Suffering: Psalm 22
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Long before Jesus uttered these words on the cross, King David wrote them from a place of raw, agonizing isolation. In this episode, we dive into Psalm 22 to explore what it looks like to navigate deep pain, confusion, and suffering without losing our...
-
The God of Stupendous Strength: Psalm 21
How strong is God, really? It’s easy to say we believe God is powerful, but when we face uncertainty, unanswered prayers, injustice, or impossible circumstances, we often reveal how small our view of Him can be. Psalm 21 pulls back the curtain and reminds us that God’s strength is far greater…
more -
How To Trust in God: Psalm 20
When trouble comes, where do you run? Psalm 20 gives us a picture of God’s people facing uncertainty, danger, and need. Rather than trusting in their own strength, resources, or abilities, they turn to God in prayer and worship. As they pray for their king before battle, they declare one of the...
-
Gospel Armor: Ephesians 6:13-20
What does it actually mean to “put on the armor of God”? In this message from Ephesians 6, we see that spiritual warfare is ultimately a call to stand firm in Christ—trusting the gospel, walking in truth, and remaining dependent on God through prayer.
-
Standing Firm: Ephesians 6:10-13
Our battle isn't against flesh and blood; it's a spiritual battle. How then do we stand firm?
-
Jesus at the Center of Your Work & Family: Ephesians 6:1-9
In Ephesians 6, Paul takes the most ordinary parts of life--like marriage, parenting, and work--and reorients them around Jesus. This message explores how every life revolves around something, and how things begin to fall apart when the wrong thing sits at the center. But when Christ becomes the...
-
Marriage & The Mystery of Christ: Ephesians 5:21-33
This week in Ephesians 5:21-33 we look at Paul's instructions about marriage and how this passage is about marriage but it's not really about marriage. It's actually pointing us to something more.

-
You Are Light! Ephesians 5:3-14
We often try to "act" better without realizing who we’ve "become." Paul’s message in Ephesians 5:3–14 is clear: you are no longer defined by darkness; you are light in the Lord. And in this message we’re asking the hard question: Is our lifestyle catching up to our identity?
-
The Impact of Imitating God's Love: Ephesians 4:25-5:2
In today's passage from Ephesians 4:25-5:2 we see that our true call is to be "little Christs", people that imitate God and when we do, it impacts every part of our life.
-
Change is Possible: Ephesians 4:17-24 - Easter 2026
Why is real change so hard, and is it even possible? In Ephesians 4:17–24, we see that the gospel doesn’t just call us to behave differently, but to become new people. This message explores why we need to change, how change is possible through Jesus, and how it actually happens through the…

The irony of the cross is what looked like defeat was actually victory.
-
A Gifted Church is a Growing Church: Ephesians 4:7-16
In this message, we explore what it means to be a church that is both gifted and growing. While not everything that grows is healthy, everything that is healthy will grow—and God’s design for His church is rooted in both spiritual unity and gifted diversity. Unity doesn’t mean uniformity…
more -
A Worthy Walk is a Unified Walk: Ephesains 4:1-6
In this message, we explore what it means to walk in a way that reflects the worth of our calling in Christ. A worthy walk isn’t just personal—it’s deeply connected to how we live in unity with others. Looking at Scripture, we see that our calling creates our unity, our character preserves it…

Transforming Prayer: Ephesians 3:14-21
In Ephesians 3:14–21, Paul prays that believers would experience what is already true of them in Christ. This passage shows us the difference between merely knowing the truths of the gospel and actually living in them—being strengthened by the Spirit, grasping the vast love of Christ, and being...
-
The Wisdom of God: Ephesians 3:1-13

-
No More Division: Eph 2:11-22

-
By Grace You Have Been Saved: Ephesians 2:1-10
Salvation is not an achievement to be earned, but a grace to be received. Today we explore a foundational truth of the faith: that our standing with God is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, not our own. By looking to Him, we trade the exhaustion of "achieving" for the peace of "receiving."
-
Lord Open Our Eyes: Eph 1:15-23
Today we are looking at Ephesians 1:15-23, a prayer from Paul, asking for our eyes to be opened to the amazing realities of the greatness of God and the riches of the Gospel. He is telling us that because God has so lavishly loved us through Jesus, Christ should dominate our understanding, our...

From Chaos to Christ: Ephesians 1:3-14
Is chaos the final word—or is Jesus? In one long, overflowing sentence, Paul reveals God’s plan to unite heaven and earth under Christ. This sermon from Ephesians 1:3–14 invites us to see the gospel not just as forgiveness, but as God’s purpose to restore all things—and to live now under the…
