Through the outline Wake-up Call, You Snooze You Lose, and Rise and Shine, we see the danger of spiritual complacency, the life-giving power of...

In Revelation 2:18–29, Jesus speaks to a church that is growing in love, faith, service, and endurance, yet dangerously compromised by what it has chosen to tolerate. In this sermon, Clint Patronella considers how the church in Thyatira is commended for growth, compromised by tolerance, and crowned with Christ. Jesus calls his people to repent of compromise, hold fast to what they have, and remain...

In this sermon on Revelation 2:12–17, Pastor Clint Patronella examines Jesus’ letter to the church in Pergamum through three movements: commendation, confrontation, and consequence.

In Revelation 2:8–11, Jesus speaks to a suffering church in Smyrna facing tribulation, poverty, slander, and even the threat of death. Yet his message is not one of despair, but of hope.

Because Jesus is the First and the...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Revelation 2:1–7. In this letter to the Ephesians, Jesus speaks to a church with much to commend: hard work, perseverance, discernment, and faithfulness under pressure. And yet, one critical flaw threatens to undermine the church: They have abandoned the love they had at first. In this sermon, we consider what the church in Ephesus had lost, how Jesus calls th...

In this sermon, Andrew Davies looks at Psalm 1, which presents two contrasting ways to live, the consequences of each path, and the final outcome for those who choose them. The person who delights in God's word is like a tree planted by streams of living water. In contrast, the wicked are pictured as chaff that the wind drives away. Psalm 1 sets before us two paths, two kinds of lives, and two...

In this sermon, Pastor Justin Gottlieb walks through Psalm 136. In this sermon, we trace God’s steadfast love through his work as Creator, Redeemer, Protector, and Savior.

Through union with Christ, we are raised with Him, welcomed into His family, and seated with our Savior King. There is no one like Him. Listen and be encouraged to praise your matchless Ki...

Psalm 22 takes us from the depths of suffering to the heights of worship. David's cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" gives voice to the experience of feeling abandoned in the midst of pain, yet the psalm does not end in despair. It turns to confident praise as God rescues the afflicted and His salvation is proclaimed to the nations. In this sermon, Pastor Sam Jero explores the suffer...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Psalm 62, which speaks to the restless heart that longs for stability in an unstable world. In this sermon, we explore what it means to wait for God, how we cultivate that kind of trust, and why every other refuge—whether people, power, or wealth—ultimately fails. As David points us to God alone as our rock and salvation, we discover that true rest is found no...

In this sermon, Pastor Magdiel looks at Psalm 34. This Psalm is an invitation to move beyond merely knowing about God to truly knowing Him through worship, trust, and reverent obedience. As David reflects on God's faithfulness, he shows how those who belong to the Lord experience his care in suffering, learn to live as his children, and find hope even in life's many afflictions. Ultimately...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Psalm 27. David faces enemies who seek to destroy him and discredit his name. In the first half of the Psalm, David anchors himself to God's character as he pursues God's presence amid distress. And in the second half, from a place of communion, David actively brings his fears honestly before God. He petitions God for intervention, and by faith waits f...

In this sermon, guest preacher, Chris Cervantes preaches through Psalm 103. In this Psalm we see this big idea: Because the LORD is so good, we must bless Him with everything we are. David reminds us of the benefits of God's grace and God's steadfast character because we are quick to forget. And when we forget, our lives quickly become entitled and ungrateful. Listen and be challenged to r...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks through Luke 16:14-18.

In this Baptism-Sunday sermon, Pastor Clint preached from Romans 6:1–5, showing that the baptized life is a life that remembers our union with Christ in His death and resurrection.

Remembering these gospel realities strengthens our resolve to turn from sin and...

In this sermon, our guest Pastor Kyle Tucker from City on a Hill Church in Brighton, walks thru Luke 15:1-10.

In the parable of the great banquet, he extends...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks through Luke 13:22–35. Jesus teaches that entry into God’s kingdom comes through the narrow door - himself. And many will be shut out for rejecting Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint preaches Luke 13:10–21.
