April 20th, 2025 | Thank you for joining us for our Easter Service Online! Today, we celebrate the greatest victory in history—Jesus is alive! Through His resurrection, sin and death were defeated, and hope was made alive for all of us. We praise Jesus for what He accomplished on our behalf and rejoice in the new life we have because of Him. We're so glad you're here to celebrate this powerful day...

April 13th, 2025 | In life, our reactions often say more than our words—and they reveal what’s really driving us. In one of Jesus’ darkest moments, while Peter reached for a sword, Jesus reached for surrender, choosing compassion, obedience, and trust in the Father’s will. Where Peter acted out of impulse, Jesus responded with intentional love—even toward His betrayer. It’s a powerful reminder tha...

April 6th, 2025 | Jesus calls His followers to serve others, especially in times of suffering. In Matthew 25:35 -40, He teaches that when we care for the hungry, the sick, and the imprisoned, we are serving Him directly. In Mark 10:45 , Jesus Himself came "not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many," setting the ultimate example of sacrificial love. In Luke 10:25 -37,...

March 30th, 2025 | Making decisions can be tough—fear, approval, failure, and waiting for a sign can all hold us back. But God doesn’t want us to be indecisive. Jesus lived with clarity and purpose, making pre-decisions that shaped His every step, even when it was difficult. Following Him means choosing His way—not just believing for eternal life but living like Him every day. The cost is real, bu...

March 23rd, 2025 | Life doesn’t always go as planned—things happen that we didn’t expect, pray for, or plan. But God’s providence means He’s always working behind the scenes, even when it’s hard to see. From Abraham and Sarah waiting for a son to Jesus going to the cross, God’s plans are bigger than our convenience. Instead of feeling stuck or discouraged, we can choose to see problems as opportun...

March 16th, 2025 | The Bible tells us that Christ is the head of the church (Colossians 1:18 ), and our mission is to glorify God by connecting people from all walks of life to life in Christ. It’s not about our preferences or traditions but about making disciples, building relationships, and sharing the hope of the Gospel. As a church, we’re committed to being servants of Christ, laboring with Hi...

March 9th, 2025 | We’ve all made mistakes in decision-making—choosing what seems bigger, more visible, or more secure over what truly matters. But Scripture reminds us that small beginnings matter, faith is about walking with God, and life is about being more than having. When we face difficult choices, we’re called not to dwell on our failures but to trust in God’s purpose, letting go of control...

March 2nd, 2025 | We often struggle with negative thinking, waiting for a "feeling" from God, or reducing our faith to a checklist. Romans 12:1-3 challenges us to renew our minds and offer our lives to God, showing us that true transformation comes from thinking differently—shaped by God's Word. It's not about fitting in with the world, but about becoming the person God created us to be by trustin...

February 23rd, 2025 | We live in a world overflowing with options—what to buy, where to live, who to date, what career to choose. With so many paths in front of us, it’s easy to feel stuck, anxious, or afraid of making the wrong move. But what if the key isn’t knowing every detail in advance, but learning to trust God’s direction even when the way forward isn’t clear? In this message, we’ll explor...

February 16th, 2025 Jeremiah's obedience to buy a field in Anathoth, despite Jerusalem being under siege, demonstrated a radical, defiant hope in God's promises. Biblical hope is not based on circumstances but on God's unchanging character and redemptive purposes. It calls us to trust beyond our understanding, live with confidence in future grace, and act boldly in faith. Instead of being discoura...

February 9th, 2025 Persistence isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about staying faithful to what God has called us to. Jeremiah spoke God’s truth for 23 years, even when no one listened, because he knew his purpose wasn’t about convenience but conviction. We, too, are created for a life rooted in God, called to love Him and live out His good works. But staying the course requires saying “no” to...

February 2nd, 2025 Opposition is inevitable when following God’s call, but it’s meant to strengthen us, not break us. Jeremiah faced ridicule and suffering, yet he couldn’t silence the fire within him. Like him, we may feel stuck or tempted to quit, but God uses struggles to refine and renew us. When we trust Him and pray honestly, He transforms our hardships into strength and purpose. You are not...

January 26th, 2025 In today’s sermon, we’ll dive into Jeremiah 18:1-6, where God reveals Himself as the potter and shows us what it means to be clay in His hands. We’ll reflect on prayers of recognition, permission, and relinquishment—steps that help us embrace God’s sovereignty, invite Him to shape us, and surrender our lives to His will. Let’s discover what it means to fully yield to the Potter’...

January 19th, 2025 God calls us to a life of deeper faith, challenging us to trust Him fully and embrace His purpose (Jeremiah 12:5). We start with God, remembering He has chosen, set apart, and appointed us for His plans. True success is faithfulness to God, not what the world defines as achievement. To live this out, we must reject superficial spirituality, confront false images of God and ourse...

January 12th, 2025 | It’s easy to assess life based on circumstances, opinions, or feelings, but Jeremiah’s story reminds us to look deeper. Despite his struggles, he trusted God to guide his steps and set his direction. God’s plans are always bigger, better, and more purposeful than we can imagine. He calls us to open our hearts, trust His perspective, and embrace the fullness of life He offers....

January 5th, 2025 | The New Year is often a time for fresh starts, but what if we approached change differently? Rather than relying on willpower alone, we can embrace a sacred union with Christ that transforms our minds, love, spirit, and purpose. Philippians 2 reminds us to adopt Jesus' attitude of humility and service, living out unity with others and imitating His love. This year, let’s move b...

December 29th, 2024 | The gospel is powerful because it doesn’t just save us—it transforms us. Through it, God exposes our sin, breaks its hold on us, and creates new life in us, showing His glory in our weakness. While we face trials, they are opportunities for God’s power to shine and for others to see His work in us. Let’s not lose heart; our momentary struggles are preparing us for an eternal...

December 24th, 2024 | We often look for joy in the things of this world—success, control, escape—but it never truly satisfies. The shepherds and Mary remind us that real joy doesn’t come from worldly pursuits but from the Lord. When the angel proclaimed the Savior’s birth, it was an invitation to a joy that is eternal and unshakable. This Christmas, let’s stop striving for temporary happiness and...

December 22nd, 2024 Life often challenges our understanding of God’s plans, leaving us uncertain or confused. Like the story of the manger, clarity doesn’t come instantly—it requires faith and intentional reflection. True understanding grows when we pause, treasure God’s word, and let it reshape our perspective.

December 15th, 2024 | The humility of Jesus’ birth—a Savior laid in a manger—shows us how God’s presence is revealed in unexpected places. What seemed small and insignificant was central to His plan, reminding us that even the simplest moments can carry profound meaning in His hands. Join us now as we dive into today’s sermon and learn how even the smallest moments in our lives can be used by God.

December 8th, 2024 | The story of Jesus’ birth reminds us that things that seem small or insignificant are never limited in their potential to be a part of God's plan. A humble manger, a quiet town, and ordinary shepherds were all part of God’s extraordinary plan to bring salvation to the world. Are you open to seeing God in unexpected places? Can you trust His purposes even when your circumstance...

December 1st, 2024 | When people pray, amazing things happen. Prayer brings peace when life feels overwhelming, helps us see things from God’s perspective, and can even change situations in ways we never imagined. Jesus taught us to pray for God’s kingdom and will to come, showing us that our prayers connect with His plans. When we pray for others, it’s a powerful way to love them and invite God’s...

November 24th, 2024 | Life often brings seasons of disappointment, unanswered prayers, and times of uncertainty—but the Bible doesn’t shy away from these realities. Jesus modeled turning to prayer in the hardest moments, showing us the power of drawing near to God (Luke 22:39 , Matthew 26:36 ). We’re challenged to resist avoiding prayer, isolating ourselves, or doubting God’s love and power, but i...

November 17th, 2024 | Do you ever stop to ask, “Where do I turn for help?” In this message, we explore the struggles we face in asking for help, the anxieties we carry, and how often we overlook God as our ultimate Helper. Discover what it means to truly rely on Him through prayer—specific, daily, and relational—and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let’s learn to bring every...

November 10th, 2024 | In this "Age of Anxiety," many people are struggling with worry and stress, especially young adults. Prayer is often mentioned as a solution, but how often do we really take the time to pray deeply, rather than just going through the motions? True prayer involves trusting God, surrendering control, and allowing ourselves to be present with Him. This kind of prayer isn’t about...
