Emotional Honesty 2026
In this sermon, we explored Psalm 42 and what it means to practice emotional honesty by naming what is happening within us and bringing our whole experience before God. We talked about how our emotions can reveal what we fear, desire, need, and value, and how ignoring or numbing them can lead to...
-
Intentional Relationships 2026
In this sermon from 1 Samuel, we looked at the story of Jonathan and David as a biblical example of an intentional relationship. Their close friendship was clouded by a very difficult circumstance: Jonathan's own father wanted to kill David. Despite this incredible challenge, we see qualities in...
-
Lifelong Transformation 2026
In this sermon, we trace Peter's lifelong transformation from an ordinary fisherman into a Spirit-empowered fisher of men and shepherd of God's people. When Jesus called him, He did not ask Peter to transform himself; He simply said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Peter followed...
-
Expositional Preaching
Expositional preaching is about far more than gaining biblical knowledge, it is about knowing Jesus as He has truly revealed Himself. In 2 Peter 3:15–18, Peter warns that Scripture can be twisted, error can carry people away, and believers can lose the stability that comes from being rooted in...
-
Courageous Availability
In this sermon, we looked at how God carries out his mission on earth through ordinary people who are willing to be courageously available. In Acts 9:10–19, a disciple named Ananias demonstrates courageous availability by responding, "Here I am, Lord," when Jesus calls him to approach Saul, a man...

A Faith That Doesn't Face Life Alone
In this sermon from James 5, we looked at how James closes his letter with a clear call, we are not meant to live the life of faith in isolation. In suffering and joy, we move toward God and one another. When we are sick or weak, we invite the church to pray and care for us. When sin takes root…

Enduring With Hope
In this sermon from James 5:7–12, we were reminded that faithful endurance is rooted in the hope of Christ's return. We were encouraged to remain patient in seasons of suffering, resisting the temptation to complain or turn against one another. Looking to the examples of the prophets and Job, we...
-
The Illusion of Security
In this sermon, we discussed how trying to control our circumstances and accumulate wealth give only the illusion of security. To calm our fear and anxiety, we try to control people and circumstances. The idea that we can control the future or the actions of others provides a fragile security…

Warning Against Worldliness
In this sermon from James 4:1–12, we were reminded that the conflicts and quarrels we experience often reveal the sinful desires at war within our own hearts. We were challenged to recognize that these desires are rooted in worldly wisdom, which opposes God and damages our relationships with Him...
-
Wisdom From Above
In this sermon, we continued our series in James by looking at James 3:13-18 and asking what true wisdom really looks like. We were reminded that wisdom isn't measured by what we know or say, but by the fruit it produces in our lives. Godly wisdom is marked by humility, peace, mercy, sincerity…

The Power of Words 2026
In this sermon from James 3:1-12, we looked at a warning from James about the power of our words. Throughout this chapter, James uses the "tongue" to represent our speech, and he especially emphasizes the destructive potential our words have. He compares the tongue to a horse’s bridle, a ship’s...
-
A Living Faith
In this sermon from James 2:14-26, James reminds us that genuine faith is more than words, knowledge, or a profession of belief—it is a living faith that produces action. While salvation comes by grace through faith alone, true saving faith never remains alone; it reveals itself through…
more -
Faith Without Partiality
In this sermon from James 2:1–13, James confronts the sin of favoritism and calls believers to see people through God's eyes rather than the world's standards. Because every person is created in the image of God, human worth is not earned through wealth, status, appearance, influence, or...
-
Hearing the Word that Changes Us
In this sermon from James 1:19–27, we see that God's Word was never meant to simply inform us but to transform us. James reminds us that spiritual maturity begins with a humble and teachable heart that is quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Human defensiveness, self-protection, and...
-
Trials From Within
In this sermon from James 1, we saw how the struggle of enduring trials often becomes a deeper battle with temptation. We were reminded that temptation does not begin with God, but with our own desires, which, when left unchecked, can lead us away from Him and ultimately toward sin and death. We...
-
Formed Through Trials
In this sermon from James 1:1–12, we see that trials are not meaningless interruptions to the Christian life but one of the primary ways God forms us into mature and steadfast people. Writing to weary believers scattered by suffering, James reminds us that hardship reveals what we trust in and...
-
God's Redemption in Our Hurt
In this sermon, we explored how hurt impacts the human heart and how God meets people in pain with compassion, truth, and healing. Psalm 34 reminds us that God does not shame the wounded, ignore the brokenhearted, or abandon those carrying disappointment, betrayal, conflict, rejection, or loss....
-
God's Redemption in Marriage

God's Redemption in Motherhood
In this sermon from the Gospel of Luke 10:38–42 in the Redemption Stories series, we explore how the beauty of motherhood can quietly shift from a meaningful calling into an overwhelming burden. Through the story of Martha and Mary, we see how doing good things can become heavy when they are…

In this sermon from Psalm 27:7–10 and Romans 8:14–16 in our Redemption Stories series, we saw how God meets us in the pain of rejection and speaks a new identity over our lives. Through David's words, we were given language for the ache of not being seen or affirmed—a wound that can lead us to...
-
God’s Redemption in Learning Disabilities
In this week's sermon from Psalm 139:13–16, we explored how what the world often labels as a "learning disability" is not a flaw in how God created us, but a reflection of how human systems define and measure value. We were reminded that we are intentionally formed by God with dignity that is not...
-
Opening the Prison Doors of Addiction
In this week's sermon from Romans 6, we saw that what we often call addiction, the Bible describes as a kind of slavery—a pattern of sin that begins to take authority over our lives. But rather than calling us to try harder, we were reminded that Paul begins with something deeper: our identity....
-
The Voice of Shame
In this week's sermon from Genesis 3, as we began our Redemption Stories series, we saw how the voice of shame entered the human story through the lies of the serpent, leading Adam and Eve into sin and hiding. We explored how shame is more than just a feeling—it is a voice that accuses, distorts...
-
The Power of the Resurrection
In this week's sermon from Ephesians 2, we saw how the resurrection power of Jesus meets us in our deepest brokenness. We were reminded that apart from Christ, we were not merely struggling, but spiritually dead—living in the effects of the fall through separation from God. Yet we also saw the...
-
When We Finally See Jesus
In this final sermon in our Story of Redemption series, we looked at how Jesus meets us in the middle of our disappointment and confusion. Through the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we saw how easy it is to lose sight of hope—even when we've been walking closely with...

I Have Loved You- The Sun of Righteousness
In this week's sermon from Malachi in our Story of Redemption series, we were reminded of God's unchanging declaration to His people: "I have loved you." We saw that His love is not something we earn, but something that has always existed, continues today, and will never end. Yet we also…

The Pierced One
In this week's sermon from Zechariah in our Story of Redemption series, we saw how Jesus is the Pierced One who brings grace, mercy, and cleansing from sin. Zechariah prophesied that God's people would one day look on the One they had pierced and mourn for what they had done. From kings and…

The God Who Invites Us to Consider
In this sermon from the Story of Redemption series, we looked at Haggai 1 and saw a God who lovingly invites His people to consider the emptiness of their disobedience.

Jesus, the God who Delights in Us
In this sermon, we looked at the book of Zephaniah and studied a dimension of God that we often struggle to believe. While the early chapters confront sin and announce the coming Day of the Lord, we saw the book take a surprising turn toward joy. The Lord removes judgment, restores His presence,...

Jesus, Our Hope in the Waiting - 2026
In this week's sermon from Habakkuk in our Story of Redemption series, we looked at what it means to trust God enough to be honest about our confusion and doubt. Following Habakkuk's journey from the desperate cry, "How long?" to the declaration, "Yet I will rejoice," we were reminded that faith…

God's Mercy and Justice
In this sermon, we looked at the story of Nahum and were reminded that God's justice and God's love are not opposites but work together for the healing of His world. We saw how Nahum speaks to a weary and wounded people, assuring them that God is not indifferent to their suffering and that evil...

Jesus, Greater than Jonah
In this sermon, we looked at Jonah 2 and were reminded that God meets us even in the depths of our distress. We saw how Jonah's prayer from the belly of the fish reveals that salvation often begins when we stop running, let go of control, and honestly cry out to the Lord. What Jonah initially...
-
Jesus, the Shepherd King
In this sermon, we studied the book of Micah and learned that God’s plan for redemption doesn't move forward through human strength, status, or self-reliance, but through human weakness, humility, and trust. Micah shows us that Israel's broken leadership would lead to defeat and a deep longing…

Inclement Weather: Worship At Home!
This service was pre-recorded as we continued our Story of Redemption series. Due to inclement weather, we worshipped together from our homes rather than in person. Today's message was a good reminder that while we may be physically apart, we remain united as the body of Christ, trusting God to...

Jesus, the Restorer of Justice
In this sermon, we looked at the book of Amos and explored how God's justice and kindness ultimately meet in the person of Jesus. Through Amos, we saw that God refuses to ignore injustice and rejects worship that overlooks sin or harm. The book of Amos exposes a tension we all live with: we long...

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

Jesus, The Faithful Husband
In this sermon, we explored the story of Hosea and the shocking beauty of God's covenant love revealed through a lived parable of betrayal, pursuit, and redemption. Hosea's marriage to an unfaithful wife exposes our own tendency to wander—trusting other loves to give us what only God can. Yet...
-
Good News of Great Joy 2025
In this sermon from Luke 2, we were reminded that true joy is not something we manufacture, but good news God announces. God sends a heavenly messenger to ordinary, fearful shepherds, showing us that the joy found in Jesus is offered to all. The angel's message centers on the identity of the...
-
Joy with Sadness
In this sermon, as we continue our Advent series, we reflected on Jesus' teaching that true joy is not found in the absence of sorrow, but in the transformation of sorrow through His presence. In John 16:20–24, Jesus prepares His disciples—and us—for a life in which weeping and rejoicing coexist....
-
Unshakeable Joy
In week two of our Advent series, we explored how Habakkuk stood in the middle of a collapsing world and still declared, "Yet I will rejoice." His joy wasn't rooted in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. At Christmas, we see the fulfillment of that hope in Jesus—Immanuel—who...
-
A Joy that Satisfies
In this sermon, we looked at Psalm 16 and were reminded that the joy we often chase through moments of anticipation can leave us uncertain, disappointed, and still wanting more. But true joy—lasting joy—comes from a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus. In his presence, we receive a joy...

Jesus, the Son of Man and Eternal King
In this sermon, we looked at Daniel 7 and saw "one like a son of man" who came with the clouds of heaven and was presented to God, the Ancient of Days. This Son of Man was given dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom where all people and nations serve him. This Son of Man is Jesus—fully…

Jesus, The True Shepherd
In this sermon, we looked at Ezekiel 34 and saw the heart of a God who refuses to abandon His people to unfaithful shepherds. While Israel's leaders were like shepherds who took advantage of the flock, God promised to come to us Himself, to search for the lost, bind up the wounded, and bring His...
-
Jesus, Our Hope in the Waiting
In this sermon, we looked at Lamentations 3 and saw that even in the ashes of Jerusalem's ruin, the author of Lamentations rediscovers an unchanging truth: when everything falls apart, God's compassion remains. His love doesn't end when we reach the end of ourselves, and His mercy rises like the...
-
When God Shows Up
In this sermon, we are reminded that Jesus shows up with kindness in the midst of our suffering. In John 11:17–44, He arrives at Lazarus's tomb, and He doesn't stand at a distance from our suffering—He steps into it. Jesus listens to Martha's frustration without rebuke, meets Mary's tears with…

When God is Silent
In this sermon, we studied John 11:1–16 and were reminded that God's silence is not His absence—it's an expression of His deep and intentional love. When Mary and Martha urgently called for Jesus to heal their brother, He stayed where He was. What seemed like indifference was actually driven by...
-
Jesus, the Righteous Branch
In this sermon, we studied the book of Jeremiah, where God reveals how Israel had become a deceitful bride, chasing after lesser loves while He remained the faithful husband who pursued her still. In the midst of judgment, Jeremiah pointed to a coming hope on a day when God would raise up a...

Jesus, the Suffering Servant
In this sermon, we took a closer look at the book of Isaiah to see how God's plan to redeem His people was foretold long before the cross. In Isaiah 53—the most quoted Old Testament passage about Christ—we studied the vivid picture of the Suffering Servant written 700 years before Jesus came. We...

Jesus, the Warrior-Groom
In this sermon, we were reminded through the Song of Solomon that God's love for us is not distant or passive—it's deeply personal and pursuing. This Scripture paints a vivid picture of a bridegroom passionately pursuing his bride, overcoming every obstacle to win the affections of his beloved....

Jesus, the Redeemer of Vanity
In this sermon, we walked through Ecclesiastes, where "The Preacher" wrestles with the meaning of life.
