God, What Do You Want? (Genesis 18) Pt.1 | Ps James Crocker
What does God want for His people in a city that feels broken, expensive, scattered, and hopeless? In this sermon, we look at Genesis 18 and Abraham’s bold intercession for Sodom to discover what it means to love God by loving what God loves. God calls His people to walk in righteousness and...
-
Make Room (Genesis 13) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon, “Make Room,” we continue our At Your Word series with a message from Genesis 13:1–18, where Abram and Lot face a moment of apparent scarcity. The land could not support both households, and quarreling arose between their herders. But the crisis was more than a problem—it was a…

The Crisis Of Comprehension (Genesis 15) | Pastor Nicole Sweetman
In this message, we continue our series on faith through the life of Abram, focusing on Genesis 15:1–6 and the “crisis of comprehension”—those moments when we believe God’s promise but cannot understand how He will fulfill it. Abram is 85, still childless, and wrestling with the gap between God’s...
-
At Your Word (Genesis 12) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon from Genesis 12:1–4, we begin the series At Your Word by looking at the call of Abram and what it means to walk by faith. Abraham’s story shows us a better way to live—not by the pattern of “see, desire, take” seen throughout Scripture, but by the way of faith: hear, trust, obey....
-
Righteous People Tithe | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon, we continue exploring the biblical foundation for tithing—this time through the lens of righteousness and justice. From Proverbs 8:17–21 to the life of Abraham in Genesis 14–15, we see that honoring God with the first and best is not merely a law-code practice, but part of a...
-
Wise People Tithe | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon, Pastor Jake teaches on the biblical wisdom of tithing from Proverbs 3:9–10: “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops…” Rather than asking, “Am I required to tithe?” this message reframes the question: “What is the wisest thing I can do with the…

Better Than Expected Pt. 2 (Revelation 21 + 22) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon from Revelation 21–22, we see the Bible’s storyline of God’s presence—from Eden, to the tabernacle, to Solomon’s temple, to Christ, to the Spirit-filled church, and finally to the New Creation where “the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple” (Revelation 21:22). Humanity…
more -
Better Than Expected Pt.1 (Revelation 21 + 22) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon, “Better Than Expected,” we begin the final movement of Revelation by looking at Revelation 21:2, 9–18 and the breathtaking fulfillment of two major biblical themes: the bride and the city. From Israel’s unfaithfulness at Sinai to the wedding of the Lamb, and from Cain’s city and...
-
End of Chaos (Revelation 20) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this message on Revelation 20, we explore the binding of Satan, the millennium, the final judgment, and the promise of a new creation where chaos is finally and forever removed. Revelation unveils the deeper spiritual reality behind the world we live in: Satan is defeated but still active, the...
-
Joy of Your Salvation (Psalm 51) | Pastor Jeff Kane
In this sermon, we walk through Psalm 51 and David’s desperate prayer after his sin with Bathsheba, seeing the mercy of God, the seriousness of repentance, and the joy of salvation that only God can restore. From David’s cry, “Create in me a clean heart” (Psalm 51:10), we are invited to move…

everything hallelujah (Revelation 19) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon on Revelation 19, we hear heaven’s “Hallelujah” over the fall of Babylon and the wedding supper of the Lamb. Revelation unveils the truth that God’s salvation and judgment are not opposed—His judgment against evil is part of His saving work for His people. Revelation 19:1-21 shows...
-
How To Shock God | Elijah Lamb
In this challenging and hope-filled message, we explore a startling line from Isaiah 59:16—“He was amazed that there was no one interceding”—and ask what it means for God to be “shocked” that no one is praying. Far from a guilt trip, this sermon is a passionate invitation to step into our…
more -
Thy Kingdom Come, My Will Be Done (The Quiet Creep of Pride) | Pastor Amara Ononiwu
In this powerful message on pride and humility, we explore how pride rarely storms the gates of our hearts—it quietly creeps in whenever our will begins to replace God’s rule in our lives. Drawing from both Scripture and personal testimony, this sermon calls us out of self-sufficiency and into...
-
The Weight of Honor | Pastor James Crocker
In this message, “The Weight of Honor,” we explore how Scripture defines honor in a culture that often distorts it. Honor isn’t celebrity culture, blind loyalty, or manipulation—it’s recognizing the God-given weight, glory, and dignity He’s placed on every person (Psalm 8:4–5; Genesis 1:26–27)....

-
The Coming Crisis (Revelation 14:6–13) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon, Pastor Jake unpacks Revelation 14:6–13 as a discipleship manual for life in a culture drunk on self-worship. Revelation, from the Greek apokalypsis—“unveiling” (Revelation 1:1)—is shown not merely as an end-times roadmap, but as God’s revelation of heavenly reality breaking into...
-
From Pilgrims to Pioneers | Elijah Lamb
In this sermon, we explore why the Trinity isn’t a theological side note but the very center of Christian faith, shaping how we understand God, creation, the cross, and life in the Spirit. Beginning with God’s self-revelation as “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14) and the doctrine of divine aseity, we...

The Second Beast (Revelation 13:11-18) | Pastor Jake Sweetman

-
The Beast (Revelation 13:1-10) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In this sermon from Revelation 12:17–13:10, we explore how Satan, the dragon (Revelation 12:9), wages war against the church not only through obvious persecution, but through deceptive political powers, ideologies, and false promises of human flourishing. Drawing from the Old Testament background...
-
Rehearsing for Heaven | Elijah Lamb
This powerful exploration of communion and community challenges us to see the church not merely as a building or organization, but as a living rehearsal for eternity. Drawing from Matthew 22 where Jesus identifies loving God and loving our neighbor as the greatest commandments, we're invited to...
-
When Love Becomes Visable | Pastor Nicole Sweetman
Hospitality isn’t just good manners or a home‑cooked meal—it’s a core expression of the gospel. In this message on biblical hospitality, we explore how God uses open doors, shared tables, and inconvenient love to make His love visible in a hurting world. Rooted in 1 Peter 4:8–9, we see that…
more -
The Bible, The Brain, Becoming Like Jesus | Pastor Jake Sweetman
Why do our first reactions so often look nothing like Jesus, even though we love Him and know His Word? In this sermon, we explore how Scripture and brain science together reveal God’s strategy for true transformation—from the inside out. Drawing from passages like Psalm 27:8, Ezekiel 36:27,...

The King You Wanted (Just Not How You Expected) | Pastor James Crocker
On this Palm Sunday message, we walk through Matthew 21:1–11 and ask a piercing question: Do we want Jesus as King, or do we just want control with a little bit of Jesus on the side? Tracing Jesus’ intentional journey from Galilee to Jerusalem (cf. Matthew 16:21; Luke 9:51), we see how His entry…

The One Thing That Changes Everything (Revelation 11: 1-13) | Pastor Jake Sweetman

Prophets not Hermits (Revelation 10) | Pastor Jake Sweetman

The Winner's Worldview | Elijah Lamb
In this sermon, we explore what it means to see the world “right side up” through the lens of the gospel, drawing deeply from Romans 8 and the wider sweep of Scripture. Using Dallas Willard’s upside‑down fighter jet, J.I. Packer’s imagery of inverted living, and Jesus’ own shocking values in the...
-
The Apocalypse | Dr. Chris Palmer
In this message from the book of Revelation, Dr. Chris Palmer reveals how God is “closing the loops” of history—and of your life. Through four powerful images—the Faithful and True, the Prison, the Smoke, and the Street—he shows that God sees every detail, remembers every prayer, and will…
more -
The Hope of the Nations (Revelation 8:6-9:21) | Pastor Jake Sweetman
In Revelation 8–9 we see trumpet blasts, plagues, demonic locusts, and global shaking—and yet Scripture ends that section with a chilling line: “The rest of mankind… still did not repent” (Revelation 9:20–21). If righteous judgment doesn’t lead the world to repentance, what will? This sermon…
