The Math Ain't Mathin' | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.08.16

There's Still Hope | Deacon Jair Froome | 26.08.09
Romans 5:1-5 Hope is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Generally, we place our hope in things that we want to enjoy in the future but can’t fully experience in the present. But the guaranteed, eternal hope that Jesus secured for those who believe in His finished work on the cross has...
-
Superintelligence | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.08.02
The richest men on earth are racing to build a mind greater than man's, and every new press release makes the fear feel more real: the layoffs, the shrinking paychecks, the quiet dread that you're replaceable, till everybody's asking the same thing folks been asking since the beginning: who am I?...

There Has To Be More | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.06.28

Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.04.26
Matthew 27:15-26 (NIV) Two thousand years ago, a crowd stood in front of two men. Both named Jesus. One a criminal, one the Christ. They weren't fooled. They just wanted the Jesus that wouldn't cost. In this message, we revisit Pilate's courtyard, confront a church still choosing the counterfeit,...

Unlikely Favor | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.11.16

It's Already in the House | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.10.26
Exodus 35:4–10, 20–29 Everything God needed to build the Tabernacle was already in the hands of His people. In the same way, God has already placed in us what’s needed to build His church and reach our city. This message is all about seeing generosity as partnership with God in what He’s already...

Christ, No Matter What | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.09.28

He's A Keeping God | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 25.08.31
Romans 8:29-30 NKJV “A couple of weeks back we spoke about the idea of Moving Forward. That our faith is one of maturation, movement and progression.

-
God's Love Language | Deacon Jair Froome | 25.08.24
Deuteronomy 6:7-15 (ESV) It is not always easy to navigate decision-making as a Christian. In addition to the regular challenges that test our faith, we are almost constantly bombarded by distractions, temptations and idols that masquerade as viable alternatives to God. In this passage, Moses…

God's Love | Deacon Jair Froome | 25.08.17
Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (ESV Who is God? Exodus 3:14-15 (ESV) Who Am I? Matthew 22:36-40 (ESV) What does God want from me? Hebrews 10:15-17 (ESV) God engineered us to be in loving relationships with Him and one another. But if we’re not vigilant, the difficulties of the human experience can thwart and...

Grace Pulled Up a Chair | Pastor Brand Watts | 25.07.13
This passage gives us one of the clearest pictures of the gospel in the Old Testament. Mephibosheth was broken, unqualified, and living in hiding, yet the King sought him out and gave him a seat at the table. That is what grace does. It finds us, welcomes us, and covers us.
-
My Work Is My Witness | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.07.06
We often separate what we do for a living from our walk with God, but Scripture doesn’t. From Bezalel building with excellence to Paul reminding us to work as unto the Lord, the Bible shows us that our work matters.

Prayer That Got Power | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.06.29

You're Doing Too Much | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 25.06.22

-
God’s Not Slow, We’re Just Impatient | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.06.15
We live in a culture that hates waiting, but God often does His deepest work in the seasons we want to skip. In James 5, we’re commanded not just to endure, but to be patient, to work, trust, and stay faithful in the middle of the wait. Real growth doesn’t happen when life is easy, but when we...
-
Clout Don’t Count in Church | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.27
In a culture obsessed with influence and image, James reminds us that God doesn’t play favorites—and neither should we. This message challenges us to confront the subtle ways we show partiality and elevates mercy as the true mark of mature faith. Because in God’s Kingdom, grace outweighs status...
-
The Monday After Easter | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.20
The Monday After Easter | James 1:19–27 The resurrection isn’t just a Sunday celebration—it’s a call to a new way of living. In this message, we look at how the empty tomb should transform our words, our actions, and our witness every day after.
-
Licking The Knife | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.13
In this sermon, we’re talking about the difference between trials and temptations — and why it matters. God uses trials to build us, but temptation comes when our own desires try to pull us away. If we aren’t aware of what’s happening in our hearts, we can end up hurting ourselves without even...
-
Trusting God With The Hard Stuff | Pastor Brandon Watts | 2025.04.06
Life doesn’t always make sense—and sometimes God seems silent when we need Him most. In this sermon from James 1:1–8, we will unpack how trials shape our faith, deepen our patience, and drive us to pray with bold trust. If you're in a tough season, this message will help you lean on God even when...
-
The Blessings Of Closed Doors | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.30
Sometimes God’s greatest guidance comes through His "No." In Acts 16, Paul and his team faced closed doors—not as setbacks, but as redirections toward something greater. This sermon will help you recognize that every closed door is often a setup for a clearer call and a greater purpose.
-
Not Just Any Old Book | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.09
In “Not Just Any Old Book” (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 16-17), we explore how the Bible is not just a human-written text but the God-breathed, supernatural Word that shapes how Christians are called to live. In a world where people follow their own thoughts and desires, Scripture provides divine wisdom,...
-
Loving People | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.02
In “Loving People” (1 John 4:7-21), we explore how God’s love is not just something we receive but something we are called to reflect. True love is selfless, sacrificial, and rooted in God’s very nature—because God is love. This message challenges us to move beyond words and actively demonstrate...
-
Protecting Your Space | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.02.23
In “Protecting Your Space” (Mark 1:35-39), we see how even Jesus prioritized time alone with the Father, setting boundaries to protect His spiritual and emotional capacity. When we create space for prayer, rest, and reflection, we grow in deeper intimacy with God and avoid burnout from constant...
-
Fear vs. Fear | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.01.19
In this sermon called “Fear vs. Fear,” we dive into Exodus 1:15–20 and examine how two Hebrew midwives chose to fear God rather than Pharaoh. Their courageous decision not only saved lives but reminds us of what happens when our reverence for God outweighs our fear of man.
