Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Yet a few days later, He was murdered by the Jews, crucified by the Romans, and killed because of us. The Jews did not recognize Jesus as our savior then; will you do the same today? Will you be like those who cry out, “Crucify him!” Or will you be the one who cries out, “Hosanna! God save me!”

Many people deal with situations with their family that they would describe as “drama.” It may come from external sources, but usually, the “family drama” involves at least one person acting in an ungodly way. The same can happen among most church families, just like the Corinthians did back in their day. And just like the Corinthians, we must learn to identify and deal with it in a way that honor...

Sometimes, we all need to be rebuked. The Lord rebukes us because He loves us. How you respond to God's rebuke determines the level of pain you experience in your life. We all have moments where we sin and need correction, whether that correction comes from the Holy Spirit, the Bible, or a brother or sister-in-Christ. You have to decide in advance how you will respond to those moments. Will yo...

Whether you’re rich or poor in this life or live a long or short life, you can faithfully serve the Lord in a way that will result in an eternal reward. How do you receive this eternal reward? It starts with you thinking ahead. You must live, serve, and give with eternity in mind.

There are two words from the Bible that everyone in the Western World knows, has committed to heart, has meditated on, and speaks out boldly like their life depends on it — Judge Not! But when we look further at scripture, we see that not only are we permitted to judge, but we must judge, albeit with a crucial caveat — we are not the ultimate judge; God is.

Real wisdom comes when you can understand and apply spiritual truth in the natural world. Where does this spiritual truth come from? It comes from God. Because God’s Spirit lives in you, you can know God’s thoughts and learn to think like God. You can learn to see the world through His eyes. The more you think, see, and feel like Him, the more your old, sinful, natural mind can be transformed into...

The most common mistake Christians make is that they think they need convincing arguments to defend the faith or lead people to Christ. Yet we see those who rebel against God only immerse themselves in foolishness, making it hard to get through them. The good news is that you don’t need to present Jesus with clever arguments. You don’t even need to preach lofty philosophical dissertations. You jus...

In 1 Corinthians, Paul is writing to the church in Corinth to rebuke and correct them, leaving them with a choice they need to make. What kind of problems do they want? Will they choose the discomfort of discipline or the pain of self-destruction? It’s the same choice we still have today when the Holy Spirit confronts our sinful flesh with scriptural truth.

As a church, it is time to step up and truly represent Christ in the world. Just like a sweet fragrance, our lives have the power to impact heaven and earth through our lifestyle, worship, integrity, and service. Let us embrace the call to bold prayer and discover the liberating freedom found only in a relationship with Jesus.

The church is made up of people with different backgrounds, cultures, and preferences. This means there will be different opinions on non-essential matters like worship styles or church practices, and that’s okay. The key is to remember that these differences are secondary to our shared identity in Christ. We need different people with different preferences and gifts working together in harmony in...

Baptism is not just a tradition but a powerful symbol of starting a new life in Christianity. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are transformed into a new person! Baptism is a public celebration that your old life is gone and your new life has begun. This means saying goodbye to the stain of sin and hello to new life in Jesus.

The Corinthian Church had many issues when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. He wrote this letter to help them with their struggles and confusion, but God also inspired these words to help us with our present-day struggles and confusion. Through this letter, we see the significance of being chosen and set apart by God, the importance of recognizing and using the gifts God has given us, and the balance bet...

When we are against all odds, don’t understand what is happening, or have been in the lion’s den for a long time, how can we trust God? We know we can trust God because He is faithful. We see this in the life of Daniel. He continually puts his trust in God and shows us that when we trust God, we can obey Him, trust His timing, and display His power.

Christmas is not just about the festivities or the gifts under the tree. It’s about something much deeper – the gift of Jesus Himself, the ultimate expression of love for a world in need. At Christmas, we celebrate that Jesus Christ was born into the world as the greatest gift ever given in the history of the world. His love is the heartbeat of our faith, the source of our strength, and the cataly...

How can we be filled with joy when we constantly face disappointment, frustration, loss, and fear? The key is proper perspective. When you look at how good God is, how great your rescue was, and how big your blessings are, you can always have joy, even when hardship pops up. Remember that your problems are minor and temporary compared to the glory before us that lasts for eternity. Joy flows from...

We may know Jesus as the Prince of Peace, but we still find ourselves caught in conflicts — with others, the world around us, and within our own hearts. But if we want to experience peace, true peace, we need to embrace Jesus — the one who secures peace, the one who calms the inner and outer turmoil. It’s not about escaping life’s storms but finding peace amidst them.

We may not know what the future holds, but we know God because He has revealed himself in the person of Jesus. This means that whatever we go through, we have hope because we have the promise of God. So whether you’re mourning the loss of a loved one, the end of a marriage, a child who’s turned away from God, or you’re overwhelmed about what’s happening in the world, let this advent season remind...

In the story of Gideon, we learn that victory is achievable despite overwhelming odds when guided by faith and the Holy Spirit. Even when faced with the complexities of fear, including worry, stress, anxiety, and fear itself, overcoming these challenges is possible through faith and trust in God. We are ultimately reminded that our role is to trust in the Lord, for God is the one who will win our...

What would the Lord God have us do as Christ's followers living in 2023? The Lord intends that the Church of Jesus Christ serve as salt and light to the world. He wants us to represent the Kingdom of God on earth. God wants to use His Church to rescue our nation from destruction, the way he used Gideon to rescue the people of Israel. This means we need righteousness in our homes and the church...

In a world surrounded by danger, hostility, and uncertainty, it’s easy to be numb to it all. However, just because it’s common doesn’t mean we won’t wrestle with anxiety and fear in our lives. In this sermon, we look at the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and how we can overcome fears by relying on God and the transformative power of faith in facing life’s challenges. We can be comforted knowing we ca...

When we look at God’s Word, we see He has a purpose for sex and intimacy within marriage. Sex is a gift from God and created to bless us, but the devil will try to corrupt this gift in an attempt to hurt us. However, when we learn to honor God’s design for marriage, we have the opportunity to experience a blessed marriage as God intended.
