We live in a world where recognition and applause are constant temptations—even in our faith. But Jesus warned against performing our righteousness for the approval of others. In this message from Matthew Chapter 6 verses 1-8, we return to the Sermon on the Mount to hear Jesus’ challenge: practice your faith privately, sincerely, and for your Father alone. True righteousness isn’t loud — it’s deep...

This Mother’s Day, we opened God’s Word to 2 Timothy 1:5–7 and explored the power of generational faith. Paul’s words about Timothy’s mother and grandmother remind us that sincere faith isn’t just taught—it’s caught.

In one of the boldest sermons from the Sermon on the Mount, we dive into what Jesus truly taught about lust, adultery, sexual sin, and holiness. Sex outside of marriage, adultery, homosexuality — the Bible is clear, but so often overlooked. Yet Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard: purity, faithfulness, and freedom.

On Palm Sunday, people lined the streets, shouting “Hosanna” as Jesus entered Jerusalem. Some worshiped Him. Others questioned Him. And today? The same thing happens. People around the world have different opinions about who Jesus is. But the Bible makes it clear—He is the promised King, the Savior, and the Son of God. This message challenges us to look past assumptions and truly see Jesus for who...

We continue in our series of the Sermon on the Mount. In this sermon we focus on Jesus' teaching about how heart issues can lead to sin. This teaching shocked his listeners and is just as applicable for us today.

Did Jesus come to erase the law? Many believe that love and grace override God’s commands, but that’s not what Jesus taught. In Matthew 5:17-20, He makes it clear—He didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. This sermon unpacks what that means for us today. How does the law fit into our faith? Are we still called to obey God’s commands? And how do grace and obedience work together in the l...

Jesus tells us in Mark 8 verse 35 that if we try to save our lives, we will lose them—but if we lose our lives for His sake and the Gospel, we will find true life. What does that really mean? It starts with surrender.

God has placed each of us where we are to be light in a dark place. Your ministry is your presences at your job or school to enhance people's awareness of Jesus. You have a platform whereby you can be a light and bring glory to God.

The Beatitudes are the attitudes we should have every day because they are the same as Jesus' character. He was very clear, "If the world loves you - you are of the world." This world is not His kingdom, but how you act can lead others into His kingdom.

We’re continuing with the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. In this sermon we hit four major beatitudes that we ought to be practicing on a daily basis. All of these attitudes were portrayed by Jesus during His ministry on the earth. Scripture tells us that those who portray these attitudes will be blessed. The real question is, do you want to see God do amazing things?

What does it mean to be ‘poor in spirit,’ and why is it the first step into God’s Kingdom? In this first sermon from our Sermon on the Mount series, we explore Matthew 5:3 and uncover the deep, life-changing truth behind Jesus’ words.

Has church become more of an obligation to fulfill your spiritual duty? Jesus didn't die to become an obligation; He died to give us newness of life. Routines can destroy relationships because a simple routine often lacks intimacy and intentionality. Bring back purpose and passion and watch growth happen in your relationships and your spiritual life.

Take a moment to look at the church of Acts. It thrived! But what happened to the modern church? We answer this question by looking at the differences between the church of Acts and modern Christianity. The church of Acts had four key principles that they held onto. Many churches struggle to keep all four, but they must if they want to thrive.

As a Christian, how can you measure your faithfulness to God? Is it by going to church every Sunday, tithing 10%, giving your best at work, praying before every meal, reading a daily devotional? All of these are great things, but alone can't help you measure your faithfulness. In this sermon, we give you four ways to measure your faithfulness, and practical steps to become even more faithful.

Remove the things in your life that are preventing you from growing closer to God.

Jesus came to save and restore what Satan broke when man fell. The brokenness that many carry on a daily basis is because of Satan. But, praise be to God, because when Jesus came, He brought about new life. We no longer have to carry around brokenness as our identity. God can restore the brokenness you feel. Jesus. Came. To. Save. You. You can only be made complete by Him.

Want to know the most common problem among Christians? They always try to put God into a category or box so that they can comprehend Him and His power. Well good news/bad news, He's incomprehensible, His power is limitless, and His love is unconditional. No box can fit God. Blow them up!

What does 'standing firm' in Christ look like? We tackle this question by reading through chapter six of Ephesians. Paul addresses Christians as a whole, challenging them to live intentionally for God. He also explains the necessity to wear the armor of God at all times to protect against the schemes of the devil.
