This message explores the life-altering reality of the resurrection, not just as an event we celebrate, but a truth that reshapes how we live. Looking at how Jesus restored Peter after His resurrection, we see that failure, shame, and being “stuck” are not the end of the story. Because He is risen, everything changes: we don’t stay stuck, we don’t pray the same, and we don’t carry ourselves the same. The resurrection is not just proof that Jesus is alive; it’s an invitation to live differently, bringing His life into every dead place around us.Intro and Outro music by artist: Cleb - https://open.spotify.com/artist/4HJTTiOIcuQrhMk83XV8Is?si=_x2whLP3QDmPu0cQkDIPzg

Good Friday at Saints - Ps Jimmy stirs us to behold the cross and not look away. Sometimes we look away from things that we do not know how to carry or behold. We don't know where to file them or dont have the bandwidth to contemplate them. But true transformation occurs when we behold the cross.

In this message we explore the powerful moment when Mary anoints Jesus at Bethany. While the room is full of disciples, leaders, and even Lazarus, Mary is the only one who discerns what’s really happening. She recognizes Jesus not just as a teacher, but as the Messiah, and responds with extravagant and costly worship.Her costly act of devotion fills the house with fragrance and exposes the hearts of everyone in the room. This sermon invites us to ask a confronting question: when you truly recognize who Jesus is, will you analyze, calculate, and hold back… or will you pour everything out in worship?A message about discernment, costly devotion, and the kind of worship that changes the atmosphere.Intro and Outro music by artist: Cleb - https://open.spotify.com/artist/4HJTTiOIcuQrhMk83XV8Is?si=_x2whLP3QDmPu0cQkDIPzg

This sermon teaches that fasting is a transformative, embodied practice where believers willingly set themselves apart to depend fully on God, align their desires with His will, and grow into spiritual maturity that looks and lives like Jesus.

In this message ps Jimmy goes deeper into pure religion from James 1:27 & Romans 12:1-2 and the necessity of our religion to house the narrative identity of our New Testament reality. If our relationship with Jesus is the essence, the union, the intimacy, then our religion (or practices) are the structure that holds that together and houses it correctly as the temples we are.

The sermon teaches that in Matthew 7:7–12, Jesus invites us to seek God as a good Father who reshapes our desires through prayer. The Golden Rule isn’t about trying harder but about transformed desire—letting God form our hearts so we naturally love others.

In this podcast we continue the series: Renewed Hearts - lies that distort us and truths that form us. Ps Deborah talks about forgiveness is not a one-time event but a continuous, supernatural grace flow that we must both receive from God and extend to others. This flow of grace is what rebinds us to God, heals our relationships, and restores our faith.

Have you ever met someone burning for Jesus? The kind of passion that makes you stop and ask, “Why don’t I feel like that?” In this message, we explore the powerful connection between remembrance, thanksgiving, and adoration, and why passion for God often fades when gratitude and memory run dry. Looking at the story of Israel’s remembrance stones in Joshua 4, we uncover the importance of building rhythms in our own lives that keep our hearts alive and burning for Jesus, shining as a testimony in a world that has forgotten Him, and leaving a legacy for generations to come.
