Pray First - Week 2 12.01.2025 42:03
We all long for confidence. While it’s easy to find fleeting confidence in things like the perfect outfit, a kind compliment, or mastering a skill, these sources are temporary and often depend on ever-changing circumstances. As followers of Jesus, however, we have access to a confidence that never wavers. This constant confidence isn’t rooted in how we feel, how we look, or whether we feel prepare...
Pray First - Week 1 05.01.2025 28:34
We all seek answers in life—answers to our problems, our purpose, and our deepest questions. Often, we look in different places: relationships, careers, achievements, or even within ourselves. Sometimes, we convince ourselves that we already have the answers, only to realize that relying on our own wisdom leaves us feeling lost, confused, and trapped in a cycle of unmet expectations, broken promis...
Missing Peace - Week 4 22.12.2024 32:10
It’s human nature to want to understand everything. To understand why things are happening when they are, how they are, with whom they are. We’re often ok with not understanding for a brief moment, but we become anxious when a moment turns into a month or year(s). If we could only understand, then we’d be on board with God’s plan. But what if we never truly get to fully understand? What if our liv...
Missing Peace - Week 3 15.12.2024 31:18
God has a way of using what we’ve been through to create a purpose that’s better than we expected. When he does, He calls for us to use the trials we’ve overcome as a source of encouragement and peace for others. By sharing what God has done in our lives, we reflect His love and bring hope to those facing similar battles. Learn how your story can be a light in someone else’s darkness and a reminde...
Missing Peace - Week 1 01.12.2024 36:54
In this week's message, we explore how our peace is often disrupted when we forget to reflect on God’s faithfulness. It's easy to let today’s struggles or comparisons to others overshadow the countless ways He’s already provided for us. Join us as we rediscover the power of gratitude and reflection, shifting our focus from problems to provision, and from comparison to contentment in Jesus.
Make Up Your Mind - Week 4 24.11.2024 36:43
Have you ever envisioned your day, your year, or even your life going one way, only to have things turn out completely different? Sometimes, these moments leave us struggling to find a single reason to be thankful. We know there must be something good to hold onto, but in the midst of challenging circumstances, it can be hard to see past the pain or disappointment. This message explores what it me...
Make Up Your Mind - Week 3 17.11.2024 37:05
In this sermon, we'll explore how our struggles are not signs of a distant or uncaring Jesus, nor of punishment for our mistakes. Instead, sometimes the storms we face are designed to build our faith. Looking at Peter’s experience on the water, we’ll see that he was doing just fine walking toward Jesus—until doubt crept in. Just as Peter began to sink when he wavered, we, too, face times when our...
Make Up Your Mind - Week 2 10.11.2024 32:38
Have you ever had someone suggest that you should just give up? Or maybe you’ve felt that way yourself—wondering if it’s time to let go, if you’re asking too much, or if your dream is simply out of reach. We’ve all been there. Anyone who’s ever reached for something great has had that moment of doubt, standing on the edge, thinking, “This feels impossible. This is too much. Maybe this is just craz...
Make Up Your Mind - Week 1 03.11.2024 33:54
No matter how long we've been carrying the weight of our struggles, today could be the day Jesus transforms everything. His timing is perfect, even when it feels delayed or uncertain. In a single moment, He can bring healing, breakthrough, or peace to the situation we've been battling for so long. Make up your mind to keep showing up because Jesus is always working, and today could be the day He b...
Almost True - Week 3 20.10.2024 35:21
Many of us believe that when God is at work, every detail—where to go, what to do, the timing—will be laid out clearly before us. While we want this to be true, it’s not quite the case. Although God knows the full plan from beginning to end, we rarely have the privilege of seeing the entire picture ahead of time. He offers us guidance through instructions and reassurances through His promises, but...
Almost True - Week 2 13.10.2024 36:47
We often fall into the mindset that if we display a few of the fruits of the Spirit, we are truly being led by the Spirit. However, the Holy Spirit calls us to embody all the fruits—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Being led by the Spirit isn't about selectively living out certain virtues but allowing the full spectrum of the Spirit’s work...
Almost True - Week 1 06.10.2024 32:12
Life isn’t always perfect, and challenges are inevitable. Yet, balancing faith means understanding that while we may face storms, we can remain unbothered, knowing God is with us. He doesn't promise a life without hardships, but He does promise His presence through it all. In trusting Him, we find peace, strength, and reassurance that no matter what comes our way, He is guiding us through every st...
The Power to Change - Week 5 29.09.2024 33:17
Change can come suddenly when God is at work. In moments we least expect, He can open doors, shift our circumstances, and lead us in new directions. What may feel like an unexpected disruption is often God moving swiftly to align us with His greater purpose. His timing is perfect, and though we may not always be prepared for the suddenness of change, we can trust that He is in control. When God mo...
The Power to Change - Week 3 15.09.2024 31:24
Many of us have experienced the loss of things we once believed were essential for the changes we sought in our lives. It could be opportunities, relationships, or circumstances we thought we couldn’t do without. But in these moments of loss, Jesus teaches us that the answer isn’t found in what was taken away. Instead, it’s in how we allow Him to transform that loss into growth. Through Him, we ca...
The Power to Change - Week 2 08.09.2024 37:02
Have you ever prayed for God to do something, only to find yourself upset when He actually does it? The truth is, God's ways are not our ways, and that often leaves us feeling stressed, frustrated, and confused. We want God to move on our behalf, to bring about change in our lives, but we want Him to do it in a way that aligns with our own plans. When we cling too tightly to our own methods, we ri...
Who Do You Think You Are? - Week 4 25.08.2024 40:10
We often find ourselves uncomfortable with the messiness of our lives, struggling to embrace the chaos and imperfections that seem to overshadow our sense of order and control. Yet, it is in this very mess that God can work profoundly, transforming our struggles and setbacks into opportunities for growth and grace. Through the turbulence of our lives, divine purpose can emerge, turning our broken...
Who Do You Think You Are? - Week 3 18.08.2024 37:05
Often, we find ourselves seeking identity in various support systems and crutches, such as careers, relationships, achievements, or material possessions. These external sources may provide temporary validation and a sense of belonging, but they are ultimately fragile and fleeting. Our true identity, however, lies in Jesus Christ, who offers an unshakeable foundation. In Him, we are accepted, loved...
Who Do You Think You Are? - Week 2 11.08.2024 37:07
Have you ever been told something true about yourself that wasn’t flattering and hurt your feelings? It’s hard to argue with the truth, even when it stings. We often try to dismiss such truths, but their pain doesn’t make them any less real. In Joshua 13:1, Joshua was old, which many saw as a disqualification for leading into battle. However, God said, “It’s true that you’re old, but it’s not a di...
Who Do You Think You Are? - Week 1 04.08.2024 37:07
We all desire to feel strong and capable in our daily lives. No one wants to feel weak. The reality, however, is that we all have weaknesses. While we often hide from or ignore our weaknesses, they are nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, we should embrace and acknowledge them, finding strength through the Lord. In Him, the Holy Spirit strengthens our weak areas and reinforces our strengths. We may...
Ever Wonder Why? - Week 4 28.07.2024 40:00
In John 4:27-35, Jesus speaks to a woman, tells her all about herself, and she runs to share this encounter with others. The disciples return, utterly confused, and start talking to Jesus about needing food. Jesus then tells them He has a different food. Despite this, they still didn't understand because they were focused on physical needs, while Jesus was addressing spiritual needs. We frequently...
Ever Wonder Why? - Week 3 21.07.2024 32:11
Saul’s insecurity drove him to the point of insanity, leading him to try to kill the very person who saved his entire army. This is fascinating because Saul's insecurity was so intense that he targeted David, though the real issue was deeper. If it wasn’t David, it would have been someone else, as David was merely the manifestation of a deeper problem. Insecurity is often hidden and unrecognized b...
Ever Wonder Why? - Week 2 14.07.2024 35:58
While many would say they believe in prayer, the reality is that it can also leave us confused at times. No doubt, we’ve all had times where we prayed for something that we thought was a good thing, but it didn’t come to pass. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder why. Why would God leave prayers, that we prayed with good intentions and even in faith for, unanswered? Sometimes, it may even feel as...
Every Wonder Why? - Week 1 07.07.2024 46:54
People often question, "If God is such a great God, then why do bad things happen?" Many leave the church almost daily because they were taught to believe that following Jesus would make their problems disappear. But God is able to work in the midst of all situations and circumstances, no matter how difficult, and can bring about good in spite of the bad. It may not be how we envisioned it to go,...
