Sermon Synopsis for December 28-29, 2024 Jesus taught about Sabbath rest and the heartbeat behind Sabbath rest which is that it is for our blessing. It is not a burden or extra rules and regulations that we do to appease God.  The Sabbath was created for our benefit, blessing, and enjoyment and therefore our heart's desire needs to be to experience the blessing of Sabbath rest.

T...

Exodus 2:23-3:10 Sermon Synopsis When God speaks, breaking the silence, He speaks redemption and sends a Savior, Jesus Christ. While historically and physically, the children of Israel suffered from slavery in Egypt. They illustrate what it means to live in a broken, fallen, fractured, and sinful world.  While there may be times the world can seem like a friend, it ultimately turns out to be a foe...

As we glorify God, we are called to bless the world, being the conduit by which God pours o...

Genesis 1 Sermon Synopsis for November 30-December 1, 2024 When God speaks, He creates a sphere of shalom. Shalom is wholeness, completeness, peace, wellness, intended functionality, and flourishing.

Sermon Synopsis for November 23-24, 2024 The book of Proverbs provides wisdom about making wise decisions. Our priorities in decision-making will reveal who we are and our priorities in life. As believers, we prioritize glorifying God in all our decision-making and trusting in God's Word and His ways in all areas of our lives. We are to surrender to God's guidance as we make decisions, listen to w...

Proverbs While a friend is a neighborly disposition towards all people we encounter that adds functionality and flourishing to their life, Proverbs teaches a deeper understanding of being a friend, called friendship. Biblical Friendship is the vehicle God uses to help us function and flourish in our humanity (how we relate, create, and operate) as we traverse through the sea of life on our way to...

Sermon Synopsis: The book of Proverbs teaches how a wealth of wisdom makes us wise toward wealth and how money is viewed, generated, and stewarded. We are told to work with diligence, energy, perspective, character, excellence, dignity, humility, boundaries, gratitude, and purpose. As we steward our money through giving to the Lord and others, saving measurably, investing intentionally, and living...

Proverbs 1:1-7 Sermon Synopsis Wisdom comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth! Solomon, as a young king, asked God to give him a discerning heart to govern God’s people and to distinguish between right and wrong. Through God's grace, God made Solomon wise, and Solomon wrote several books of the Bible, one of which is Proverbs for those who wanna be wise. Proverbs challenge us to gain th...

Sermon Synopsis: Revelation 3:14-22 The Church at Laodicea was in a place of spiritual lukewarmness that made Jesus sick because He knew their deeds and that the fruit of their lives did not match their faith. They were good for nothing. Jesus calls us to live useful lives and live in the light of the King, giving Him credit for every good thing. When there’s unity between our deeds/fruit and our...

For the Church in Philadelphia, Jesus had only good things to say about them, and He said He knew their deeds. As revolutionaries, we live to please Christ, and we see Jesus work at making us pillars that weather every storm. Lives that are pleasing to Christ transform us into pillars made by Christ.

Jesus challenges the Church at Sardis to wake up and come alive again. He urges them to strengthen what remains so that everything does not die off. He reminds this church of their faith and commands them to repent and regain their lost faith. Unlike the Church at Sardis, revolutionary living comes by way of a church that is filled and empowered with the Holy Spirit rather than by being a church t...

From John 15:5 Sermon Synopsis Jesus is the true Vine, and as His disciples, we are to stay connected to Him. We will produce fruit as we are attached to and abide in Jesus. As we remain connected, God will take care of the rest, and everything depends on Him. When we are connected to the Vine with Jesus in our lives, we are able to love others as Jesus loves being a positive influence on the worl...

Jesus calls believers to recklessly scatter the seed as we invite others to encounter God's love, grace, and the message of Jesus as we share our faith everywhere and all the time. We scatter the seed as we love others as Jesus does, pray for people when God opens the door, engage freely and openly in spiritual conversations, and tell our story and His Story of faith and transformation.  

Revelation 2:18-28 •Revolutionary living rejects friendship with the world to remain faithful to the King. •Revolutionary living renounces that which Jesus rejects. •Revolutionary living requires faithfulness to the word of God rather than friendliness to the ways of the world.

Revolutionary living requires actions aligned with our authority, Jesus. While the Church at Pergamum was true and faithful during severe persecution, it had allowed false teaching to compromise and undermine its faith. Jesus told them to repent. If they did not repent, He would wage war against them. Jesus told them He would reward them if they would repent, renew, and recommit and make their act...

The Church in Smyrna shows how revolutionary living means you’ll die for Jesus even though you’ll face difficulties because of Jesus. This church was suffering and in poverty, and they were fearful of what they were facing. Jesus encouraged them in their time of suffering by stating that they were rich and that if they faithfully faced death for their faith's sake, He would give them the crown of...

Revelation Chapter 2 Sermon Synopsis for August 24-25, 2024 Revolutionary living requires love for Jesus rather than a religious lifestyle that might look like Jesus.

Further, He revealed that He would remove their Church if they didn’...
