What does our relationship with money reveal about our relationship with God? In this sermon from Luke 16:1–13, we explore Jesus’ parable of the dishonest manager and his challenge to use our resources with eternity in mind.

What if you held the cure to a deadly disease, but never shared it with anyone?

What does it mean to live a life worthy of Christ when the world is constantly pulling us in the other direction?

In this final installment of our Doctrines of Grace series, we unpack the Perseverance of the Saints and the foundational truth beneath it: we only persevere because God preserves us. Exploring passages across John, Hebrews, Ephesians, and Romans, we look at why the believer’s salvation is eternally secure in Christ’s double grip and what active, everyday endurance looks like in the Christian life...

If you're a Christian, how much credit does God deserve for your salvation—and how much credit do you get? Is it a 50/50 partnership, or is there something far deeper at play? In Part 4 of our series on the Doctrines of Grace , we dive into the "I" of TULIP: Irresistible Grace , often better understood as Effectual Calling .

Have you ever felt like your Christian walk is a constant game of spiritual Whack-A-Mole? You conquer one bad habit only to find frustration, burnout, or relational tension popping up somewhere else. In this message, we unpack Galatians 5 to explore why trying to fix our lives through sheer willpower and rule-keeping always leads to a dead end. Instead of getting trapped in the exhausting "feedbac...

Exploring whether Jesus died for everyone in general or specifically for His chosen people, the message emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice was intentional, deeply personal, and completely effective.

We’ve all experienced the playground anxiety of standing in a lineup, watching the crowd shrink, and whispering, "Please don't let me get picked last." In this message, we dive into the deep, often controversial waters of unconditional election—the "U" in the doctrines of grace (TULIP). Are we chosen because of our faith, or does our faith exist because we were first chosen? By unpacking Romans 8...

Daniel kicks off a 5-part series on the doctrines of grace (TULIP). This first installment is on humanity's radical corruption, commonly known as total depravity.

What does a 1986 nuclear disaster have in common with an ancient Israelite king? In this message on 1 Samuel 15:1–21, Daniel explores the human tendency to minimize, deflect, and rationalize disobedience.

What happens when we stop trusting God? In this insightful message from 1 Samuel 14:24-52, we explore the chaotic and harmful outcomes of trying to take matters into our own hands. Using the life of King Saul as a cautionary tale, this sermon unpacks how a lack of faith drives us to grasp for control through micromanagement, empty ritualistic religion, and unhinged bravado. Contrast Saul's impulsi...

"Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing can keep the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few." When Jonathan uttered these words, he was staring down an entire garrison of enemy soldiers with nothing but his armor-bearer and a steep rocky cliff ahead of him. This sermon unpacks the power of an active, expectation-filled faith. If you’ve been letting your own shortcomings or excuses k...

Is a little bit of compromise really that big of a deal? We often think that as long as we're "mostly" following the rules, we're doing just fine. But 1 Samuel 13 exposes the danger of partial obedience. Saul waited almost the full seven days for the prophet Samuel, but close wasn't enough. Join us as we look at how external pressure reveals what is truly in our hearts, why we try to validate our...

If you've ever felt disillusioned by earthly politics or standard authority figures, it’s time to look at a King whose throne...

In this message, we explore 1 Samuel 10:1–11:11 to understand the foundational patterns of biblical kingship. Before making a life-altering decision to follow a leader, you need a "title plan"—a clear map of what that leadership should truly look like.

In this episode, we delve into 1 Samuel 9 to explore the complex themes of human desire versus God's sovereign plan. As Israel continues its demand for a king "like the nations," we are introduced to Saul—a man who outwardly embodies exactly what the people have asked for, yet inwardly reveals significant shortcomings. This sermon examines the irony of Israel's choice and the overarching truth tha...

In this special Easter Sunday sermon, we explore the unexpected but powerful parallels between the events of 1 Samuel 5 and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Daniel explores the theme of God's holiness and the necessary steps for a fallen humanity to be reconciled with Him.

This week, we explore the profound concept of the "aseity" of God—His absolute independence and self-existence. Drawing from 1 Samuel 5-6 , we examine the period when the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines. While it appeared that God had been defeated, the narrative reveals that God is never dependent on human strength. Through His victory over the idol Dagon and His authority ove...

In this sermon, Daniel Gomes explores the historical battle between the Israelites and the Philistines.

Discover how the failure of human priesthood points us ultimately to Jesus, the faithful High Priest who gave Himself for us.
