"Imagine you go to the doctor with a throbbing migraine. You just want the headache fixed. But the doctor runs some tests and says: your head isn't the problem. It's something deeper — something you never would have guessed. The doctor is either brilliant or foolish. Either way, they've told you something about yourself that you didn't know. That's exactly what happens in...

What if the Easter story doesn't end the way you think it does? In the Gospel of Mark — the earliest written account of Jesus' life — the resurrection narrative ends with three women running from an empty tomb in fear. No joyful reunion. No doubting Thomas. No beach breakfast with Peter. Just trembling, bewilderment, and silence. Most scholars believe Mark ended his Gospel right there — on...

Imagine a friend breaks something valuable in your home. Someone has to pay. Either they cover the cost — or you absorb it. That's not just an economic principle. It's how forgiveness works at every level. And it's why God said: ""The only way I can forgive the sins of the human race is to suffer. Either you pay — or I will."In this Palm Sunday message from Mark 8:27–9:1...

"Most stories build to the big reveal. Mark's Gospel gives it away in the first sentence: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. That's not lazy storytelling — it's intentional. Because Mark doesn't want you guessing who Jesus is. He wants you wrestling with what you're going to do about it. In this message from Mark 1:1–12, we slow down and look at the details most of us s...

What's the best thing for kids? Jesus answers that directly in Mark 9 and Mark 10 — and it's not what the disciples expected. In this sermon from our Mark My Words series, we walk through three truths every parent, grandparent, and kids ministry volunteer needs to hear: welcoming a child means welcoming Jesus himself, causing a child to stumble puts you in serious danger, and the kingdom o...

"What if the first thing Jesus ever said publicly wasn't ""I love you"" — but ""turn around""?In Mark 1:15, Jesus walks into Galilee right after John the Baptist is arrested and delivers the most audacious opening line in history: ""The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news."" In this f...

Why do relationships feel so exhausting? Idolatry, broken cisterns, and what Jeremiah 2:13 reveals about the real reason your community feels heavy. In this sermon from our Community Series at Boynton Beach Community Church, we dig into what happens when you ask people to carry your security, identity, and approval — a role that was never theirs to fill. From Jeremiah's broken cisterns to the...

We all know what it's like to carry a grudge. Someone hurts you, the wall goes up, and you call it "protecting your peace." But what if the thing you're calling wisdom is actually the thing keeping you lonely? In this message from Colossians 3:12-13, we look at what the apostle Paul says about forgiveness inside real community — not the polished, conflict-free kind, but the messy...

Conflict in relationships, loneliness, and the struggle to build real community — why does every close relationship eventually become an arm wrestle? This sermon unpacks James 4:1-2 and Philippians 2:3-8 to expose the real root of relational conflict: the "me" problem we all carry. Discover why trying harder doesn't work, and how Jesus' radical self-emptying is the only thing tha...

"Amazon Prime has discipled us more than Sunday school ever did."We swipe, scroll, ghost, and keep our options open — with friends, with church, even with God. We're the most connected generation in history and the most lonely. Something's broken. The Bible has an ancient word for the fix: covenant. In this message we explore the difference between consumer relationships and cove...

ou can start well and still drift. The race isn't won by speed—it's won by focus. And the focus isn't on your performance. It's on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. He's not just waiting at the finish line—He ran the race for us. In this communion Sunday message, Pastor Sam Sutter walks through Hebrews 12:1-2 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 , inviting us to stop, look up,...

Samson didn't wreck his life in one moment—he walked 56,250 steps in the wrong direction. Bad habits don't feel like much at first, but they accumulate. Hebrews tells us to throw off everything that hinders. So what's the one thing slowing you down that you need to drop? Pastor Sam Sutter unpacks Hebrews 12:1, Judges 16:1, and Proverbs 4:14-15 in this powerful message about breaking fr...

Daniel didn't become a man of faith overnight—he had a rhythm. Three times a day, he prayed, just as he had done before. Runners train before the race matters. So what's the one habit you need to start? Not twelve. Just one. Based on who God is calling you to become, what's your first stride? Pastor Sam Sutter walks us through Daniel 6:10 and challenges us to stop overthinking and star...

Why do we keep losing a race we actually want to win? 92% of New Year's resolutions fail by Valentine's Day—and it's not because we're lazy. It's because we're lost. In this first message of our "Run the Race" series, we dig into Romans 7-8 and Hebrews 12 to uncover the real reason our goals, habits, and resolutions keep falling apart. The answer isn't a bette...

Spotify Wrapped knows your top artist. Apple Photos curated your highlight reel. But none of it tells you what God was doing in your year.

The decorations are coming down. The busyness is fading. Now what? Join us for this post-Christmas, pre-New Year message from Pastor Dudley Hodges as we ask the question everyone's thinking: Where do we go from here? Christmas reminded us that God showed up. But what do we do with that as we step into a new year? How do we carry what we've experienced into what's ahead? Whether you&#39...

What do you do when God asks something of you and you're not ready? Mary wasn't ready either. She had questions, doubts, and every reason to say no. But she said yes anyway — before the clarity came. This Advent sermon from Luke 1 explores the difference between doubt that's a wall and doubt that's a door, and why faith doesn't require certainty. Just trust. Whether you've...

What do you do when life doesn't come with a five-year plan? When you're waiting for answers that aren't coming? When you're spiraling — and calling it "being responsible"?In this message, we dive into the story of Joseph in Matthew 1 — a man who received an impossible calling with almost no details. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just a next step. And he took it. If you'...

Is your lack of peace costing you sleep, money, and relationships? We often try to pay the "invoice" of anxiety with distraction, spending, or stress—but the bill never goes away. In this special Christmas season service (featuring candles and communion), we discover that you can’t have the peace of God until you have peace with God. Join us as we trace the story of Shalom from the garde...

On this First Sunday of Advent, Elder John Leavitt delivers a message titled "Hope in Suffering - The Provocative Message of Psalm 73."Psalm 73 is one of the most honest and shocking chapters in the Bible. It asks the question many believers are afraid to voice: If God is good, why do the wicked prosper? In this sermon, we explore Asaph’s near-loss of faith and the provocative truth that...

On this Christ the King Sunday, we explore what it truly means for Jesus to be in control. Rev. Al Barth takes us through the powerful encounter in John 4 between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. In a world that often feels chaotic, seeing Christ as King offers us a profound hope that anchors the soul. Join us as we discover how the sovereignty of Jesus transforms our brokenness into a testimony of...

What if the frustration, anger, insecurity, and lack of confidence you're experiencing aren't separate problems—but symptoms of one deeper issue: unresolved guilt? In this life-changing message, we discover how guilt operates like a spiritual debt that weighs us down and damages our relationships with God and others. Many of us have reduced confession to a quick "my bad" that ena...

Behind every outburst, every cold shoulder, every bitter thought is a simple reality: you didn't get what you were convinced you deserved. Someone owes you. And that unpaid debt is destroying your joy, your relationships, and your spiritual health. In this powerful message, we discover that anger—like guilt—is fundamentally about debt. But unlike guilt (where "I owe"), anger says &qu...

In this life-changing message, we discover how guilt operates like a spiritual debt that weighs us down and damages our relationships with God and others.

What if the joy, peace, and gratitude you were designed to display have been stolen—not from the outside, but from within? In this powerful message, we explore Jesus's revolutionary teaching in Matthew 15 about the real source of our struggles. It's not about behavior management or following more rules—it's about surrendering our hearts to the only One who can restore what's been t...
