“Money is a terrible master, but it can be a masterful servant.” Scripture doesn’t demand that we renounce our resources, but instead that we use them for the glory of God. We don’t serve money, money serves us. This is how we transform our culture when it comes to how we use our money. God’s Word has a lot to say about money, so we have help. Jesus was God in the flesh, so if we want to know how...

Power. We have been trying to grab it since the beginning of humanity, hence the saying “power grab.” When it comes to power we look for it in all the wrong places. The source of absolute power is the theme of almost every story, book or movie. It just takes a glimpse into popular culture, particularly the cinematic and comic world to see our obsessions with the source of absolute power. Now, all...

Hebrews 13:2 - Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. Strangers. Yall all good with that? We’ve all been taught to be leery, cautious, and suspicious of strangers. The fine line between prudence and panic, possibly led to paranoia. Today, we are super adept at avoiding strangers, even if it has nothing to do with fear or cautiousness. We avoid any contact with people we don’t know by keeping...

When it comes to the necessary question, “How do we interact with culture,” We can look to scripture for guidance, as always. Practically, Jesus, God in the flesh, interacted with culture so as His followers, the answer to how we interact with culture can be seen in His life. Most often in the church (or church culture), when we use the word “culture,” we are referring to the systems of the world,...

What is biblical womanhood? This is the question I want to answer today. I am by no means an expert, and as much as I have studied this topic, I feel like I learn something new each time I look into it. Biblical Womanhood. What is it exactly? Complicated for sure! Is it something that is easily understood? I would say absolutely not. Is it something that men and women should both understand? A res...

“Be strong; act like a man.” Similar conversations like this one between David and Solomon have been repeated over and over again all over the world for centuries, and each time I assure you that whatever context it was in, whatever was being asked of some male, no matter what era or locale, it probably had very little to do with being a Biblical man. Who knew that defining Biblical manhood and ma...

Are you a parent who wants to raise God-honoring children? In this message, Pastor Brent discusses the importance of being a God-centered parent, not a child-centered parent. He explains that God-centered parents dedicate their children to the Lord and morally train them to follow God. He also shares practical advice on how to initiate a craving for what is true, righteous, pure, and holy in your...

Be glad? Rejoice in suffering? How many difficult or troubling things we go through in life that we incorrectly assign to the devil or try to rebuke away? What if instead of rebuking we are to be rejoicing? This is why we pray! Some of us have missed out on the refiner’s fire of God because we rebuked away God’s burning work in our lives. Don’t rebuke your refining, rejoice in it! It is in these m...

In this sermon, we'll explore what it means to have a healthy eschatology, or a view of the end times. We'll talk about how our beliefs about the end times should affect our behavior, and how to avoid the extremes of living in fear or ignoring the reality of judgment. We'll also look at some of the practical implications of a healthy eschatology, such as how it can help us to live more loving and...

In this sermon, Pastor Kēvin talks about the importance of loving others as Jesus loved us. He defines five key qualities of Christian love: Harmonious: We should be like-minded, sharing the same attitude of Christ. Sympathetic: We should feel the suffering of others and be moved to help them. Brotherly: We should love one another like brothers and sisters. Kindhearted: We should be compassionate...

In this sermon, we'll explore what it means to be a people of God in a world that is sometimes contrary to our faith. We'll see how we are called to be set apart for the purposes of God, even as we live in the midst of a world that is often different from us. This episode will challenge you to think about your identity as a follower of Jesus and how you can live out your faith in a faithful and re...

In this sermon, Pastor Brent explores the power of prayer and the need for prayer in the life of the believer. He draws on biblical passages and personal stories to show how prayer can change lives, heal relationships, and bring God's will to pass. The sermon is both inspiring and practical, offering concrete tips on how to pray more effectively. Whether you're a seasoned prayer warrior or a begin...

In this sermon, we will explore the importance of remembering the promises God has told us and trusting his word for our lives. We will see from the story of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-6 that God is faithful to keep his promises, even when we don't understand them. We will also learn that when we trust God's word, he will always lead us in the right direction. The preface of Genesis 12:1-3 tells us t...

In Exodus 14, the Israelites find themselves trapped between the pursuing Egyptians and the impassable sea. This is a familiar experience for many of us. We often find ourselves in "the space between" - the place where we are caught between two worlds, two realities, or two choices. In this sermon, we will explore the idea of "the space between" and how it can be a place of both danger and opportu...

In this sermon, Dr. Joel Muddamalle teaches from Luke 24 on the story of the road to Emmaus. He explores the meaning of the risen Christ's presence with the two disciples on the road, and how this story can help us experience the nearness of God in our own lives. Dr. Muddamalle shares some practical ways to connect with God on a deeper level, and how to find peace and comfort in God's presence. He...

Are you ready for the next level? In this episode, Pastor Bomi Roberson talks about how God often works in seasons of depression and pause before He brings about a breakthrough. She shares how the early church was filled with the Holy Spirit and how we can experience the same power today. If you're feeling stuck or like God is not moving in your life, this message is for you. Watch it and learn ho...

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. In this life there is usually a difference between who we are, and who we want to be. That’s not always good as it can be driven by insecurities and false images of our self, but as believers in Jesus thi...

If you're looking to grow in your desire for God, this podcast is for you. We'll share some practical tips on how to make God the center of your life and to experience His love more deeply.

This episode explores the transformative power of 1 Peter and how it can impact our lives today. The Bible is compared to a powerful seed that, when planted in good soil, can bring forth new life and growth. Without the seed of the Word of God, we are merely dirt and dust. In chapter one of 1 Peter, we discover the benefits of the gospel, such as forgiveness, redemption, and the fruit of the Spiri...

The very term "to fear God" is a statement about who is a believer and who is not. God-fearers and non-God fearers. There is a difference between a fear of God and being afraid of God. Those that fear God will not be afraid of God, because we know that there is nothing that separates us from His love.

Being called and made children of God we no longer see things in ignorance the way we once did. We see things differently. The new desires and the dethroning of the old ones lead to obedience to God and non-conformity to the world.
