Each day, see those around you through Christ’s eyes. In Acts 3, Peter and John noticed a lame beggar who had been overlooked for years. He wanted money, but God knew he needed something greater. Like him, we sometimes chase the wrong things, missing what God truly has for us. Ask the Holy Spirit to show where you’re “begging” and shift your perspective. And like Peter and John, be willing to give...

This week, we explore Acts 4, where God uses Peter and John to bring many to know Him. As the church, we can learn from their obedience in fully surrendering to Jesus. Following Jesus involves sacrifice. The Bible says those who desire to live godly lives will face persecution (2 Timothy 3:12). We are called to lay down our lives and fully surrender to God's will. Has following Jesus cost you more...

Life can feel overwhelming, especially during difficult times and uncertainty. We may encounter moments that seem like the world is crashing down, but we must remember that God is faithful. It’s just a moment, not the end. In Acts 3, the lame man is carried to the temple gate daily, asking for alms. This story reminds us that when we focus on our problems, we often ask for the wrong solutions. God...

Are you scared of commitment? In contrast to the world, which tries to lower the bar of commitment, we as followers of Jesus are called higher. The call is to embrace a deeper, more meaningful level of devotion - one that involves making intentional, life-changing choices to follow Him and say no to the distractions and temptations of the world. The church is meant to be a light, a bold voice, and...

Have you ever missed the moment to tell someone about Jesus? The outpouring of the Holy Spirit marks the era of the Church—a new normal where the disciples were empowered to boldly proclaim the gospel. Today, the Holy Spirit calls us to embrace this new normal, to step out in faith and share the message that "Jesus Saves!" The enemy seeks division, but we are called to build a church that reflects...

This sermon highlights the significance of Pentecost and the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. Biblically, Pentecost marks the anniversary of God speaking to His people and setting them free through the power of His Spirit. Pentecost should not be a term that invokes fear or confusion. The Bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit we experienc...

You Were Made to Endure Through Christ Jesus! The apostles saw firsthand the power and authority Jesus displayed, and He called them—and us—to be His witnesses throughout the earth. No one is too far gone for God to transform, and we see this in the lives of those He used in the Bible. Just as Peter testified in Acts 1:15-16, God’s promises will always come to pass and we can trust the Word of the...

In this message titled ‘Ascending Faith’, the focus is on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives as we begin a series exploring the book of Acts. We all need equipping, training, and power to accomplish God's work—and Jesus promises not to leave us to do it on our own. The message urges us to keep our eyes on eternity, but not lose sight of what God is doing today. The Holy Spirit...

“In this powerful sermon from our Selah Series, we dive into the story of the Israelites, focusing on their 40-year journey of wandering in the wilderness. Despite God's unwavering faithfulness, the people were often ensnared by fear and doubt, choosing to focus on their circumstances rather than on the promises and power of God. As we explore this narrative, we learn three essential postures for...

"This message invites us to reflect on who we want to become in the coming year and whether we are open to the maturing process God has for us. It highlights the dangers of living in a "downhill season," where we feel out of control, stressed, and distracted. The key question posed is whether we are willing to align our lives with God's will, or if we will continue to rush through life without pur...

Today is a Day That God Wants to Set You Free! In this powerful message from our Selah Series, we dive into Matthew 6 and the Lord’s Prayer to discover how God wants to flip our ideologies and break the chains of anxiety that weigh us down. Jesus teaches us that we don’t have to be bound by stress, worry, or the overwhelming burdens of life. Do you find yourself carrying things that are not yours...

“In this powerful look at Mark 15 and the mysterious ending of the Gospel of Mark, the sermon titled “The Un:Ending" challenges us to reframe our understanding of both Jesus’ mission and our place in the ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Jesus, the God-incarnate Savior, came not to rule like the kings of the world, but to bring restoration, healing, and reconciliation between God and manki...

"This sermons explores the profound spiritual significance of Jesus' death on the cross and its transformative impact on humanity. Here are some key points: 1. Death Isn't Just the End of Life: The sermon argues that death is not merely the absence of a pulse, but the absence of God. This spiritual death is emphasized in Ephesians 2:1, which describes people as being "dead in trespasses and sins."...

"In this sermon titled "A Wake Up Call," based on Mark 14:32-50, we are reminded of the urgency to remain spiritually vigilant and aligned with God’s will. Jesus, in His moment of deepest anguish, prays a powerful prayer: "Not my will, but Yours be done." His agony was not merely a physical suffering but an intense emotional and spiritual burden, as He took upon Himself the weight of the world’s s...

“In this sermon based on Mark 14:12-72, we are reminded of the central truths that shape our identity and faith. The passage takes us through pivotal moments in the life of Jesus, highlighting betrayal, failure, and divine love. The sermon encourages us to reflect on the nature of our identity—who do we identify ourselves as? Is it rooted in truth or in lies? We often overestimate our own strength...

“In this sermon, "Double Dipping," we are reminded that God's Word is not just a text to read, but a living, breathing instruction manual for how to navigate life. Too often, we rely on a once-a-week dose of Scripture—whether in a Sunday service or a brief devotional—to get us through the week. But what if God designed His Word to be more than just a quick fix for our problems? What if He wants it...

"In Mark 14, we see that Mary has an extravagant act of devotion where she breaks an alabaster jar of expensive perfume and pours it over Jesus’ head. Her actions stand in stark contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and even Judas, all of whom struggled with motives rooted in pride, greed, and the desire for self-preservation. In a world that values success, security, and the accu...

“As we seek understanding of the end times, it is important to consider the events that will unfold during the Day of the Lord. This period marks a time of divine wrath and judgment, where God's power will be revealed to the world. The Day of the Lord is moving towards us, and while this reality may seem overwhelming, understanding it can actually bring us encouragement and strength. While growing...

"Our faith hinges on a critical question: Is the life of Christ truly living within you? We must look at the fruit of our lives as a reflection of this reality. Are we genuinely alive in Christ, or merely existing? As we navigate the complexities of our times, particularly in light of eschatology—the study of the end times—it's vital to center ourselves on Christ. He is our anchor amidst the uncer...

“In a world where parenting often feels like "shooting arrows in the dark," it's crucial to seek guidance beyond societal norms. Psalm 127 reminds us that unless the Lord builds the house, our efforts are in vain. Are you engaging in parenting without welcoming God into the process? Dependence on the Lord is essential; relying solely on our own strength and wisdom can lead to emptiness and broken...

“Do you find yourself straying from the Good Shepherd? When we stray from the provider of our peace, our joy, and our hope, we will experience a sense of lack. First, we may become lost in longing and feel constantly discontent. This often stems from comparing ourselves to others, which leads to jealousy, pride, and dissatisfaction. Second, we can get lost in labor, focusing too much on work and n...

“Who do you need to forgive? As we grow older, we often become accustomed to both physical and emotional aches and pains as a normal part of life. We may learn to live with these discomforts, viewing them as inevitable rather than taking action to address them. The Word of God is like a two-edged sword, cutting through the things we’ve normalized, revealing the necessity of addressing issues like...

“Are You Comparing Your Relationships to Others? It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing our relationships to those around us. However, what people present publicly often differs significantly from reality. We only see the moments they choose to share, which can lead us to feel discontent with our own relationships. In a world filled with various responses to relationship dissatisfaction, div...

“How are the relationships in your life? If you were to do an honest evaluation, are your relationships rooted in love and unity, or are they filled with strife? Many of our relationship struggles stem from a warped understanding of what they should be. If we’re not careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds, we risk being influenced by the world’s flawed views of relationships. Today,...

“Have you ever faced a broken relationship? If you’re human, the answer is likely yes. Whether you're navigating current struggles or reflecting on past wounds, painful relationships can deeply affect us if we don’t seek guidance from the Lord. The Bible offers wisdom on how to manage relational conflicts. While tension is often inevitable among us, we can learn to handle these situations with a b...
