Your sermon explores where great faith is formed by examining the only two people in Matthew’s Gospel whom Jesus commends with the words,  “Great is your faith.” The Roman centurion demonstrates unwavering confidence in the authority of Jesus’ word, believing His command alone is sufficient.  The Canaanite woman reveals persistent trust in the character and grace of Jesus, refusing to give up desp...

Faith is revealed by trust, and one of its greatest expressions is forgiveness. When we forgive, we release the debt someone owes us into God's hands, trusting Him to bring justice, healing, and restoration.  True faith uproots bitterness and resentment, makes room for God to grow His work in our hearts, and obeys Him even before circumstances change. Jesus ultimately demonstrated this at the...

This sermon explores the biblical calling of a watchman and the responsibility God places on His people to remain spiritually alert.  Drawing from Ezekiel 3:17–21, the message emphasizes that a watchman is called to hear from God and faithfully communicate His warnings and promises to others. 

In this message, Pastor Selvin dives into God's Word to reveal how His blessing is built on grace, not status, background, or qualification.  Discover how the Firstborn Blessing finds its fulfillment in Jesus and what it means for your identity and inheritance as a child of God. REFERENCE: Matthew 1

We all long for healthy relationships, but often struggle with our own flaws, fears, and failures.  Through the story of Jacob, we see that God specializes in transforming imperfect people. Jacob spent much of his life striving and relying on himself, yet God saw beyond his mistakes to the person he was becoming.  This message reminds us that true transformation comes not from trying harder, but f...

This message explores Joseph’s story as a journey of healing, reconciliation, and breaking generational cycles. It reminds us that while we may inherit wounds, pain, or broken patterns, they do not have to define our future.  Joseph’s life shows that God not only heals our hurts but brings fruitfulness from them, transforming bitterness into grace and division into reconciliation.  Ultimately, the...

How to multiply the grace of God over your life and over your family? We often limit the grace of God to salvation, the grace to forgive, or the grace to endure through trials, etc. And while the grace of God is all of that, it is also so much more.  The good news is God wants to teach you how you can multiply His grace in abundance over your family and every aspect of your life. In this message,...

In this message from Acts of the Apostles 16, we explore how God can turn midnight moments into stories of transformation.  As Paul and Silas choose worship in the middle of pain and uncertainty, God moves powerfully, not only opening prison doors, but changing the heart of a jailer and rescuing an entire family.  This message is a reminder that Jesus brings hope, restoration, and salvation into b...

The key takeaway from this message is that loss does not have to define your future.  God is able to redeem pain, grief, and disappointment by leading us into something new through His presence and promises. When we stop dwelling on what was and begin trusting Him with what is ahead, we can experience healing, renewal, and hope again.  Even in difficult seasons, God is still working, guiding, and...

What if “almost” is what’s holding you back?  Almost obedient. Almost surrendered. Almost trusting. Sometimes we take steps of faith… but stop just short, settling for less than what God had in store. In this message “The Danger of Almost,” Pastor Selvin Cortez reminds us that partial surrender can limit what God wants to do in our lives. Wherever you are in your journey, God is inviting you to go...

Jesus isn’t just a belief. He is life. After the resurrection, He didn’t stay distant. He met people right where they were : in their grief, their doubt, their shame. And He still does today.  In this sermon, as part of our series “Jesus ≠ Religion”, Lori Graham reminds us that Jesus is life and that no matter what you’re facing, there is life in Him. Enjoy!  Reference : John 14:6

Jesus is not one voice among many—He is the voice. In a world filled with competing influences, the issue isn’t the presence of many voices, but the clarity to choose the right one.  When we place Jesus alongside culture, opinions, or personal feelings, our lives become divided and direction becomes unclear. But when we tune out the noise and give Him the final authority, everything aligns.  The c...

The resurrection of Jesus is not just a belief to consider—it is a truth that demands a personal response.  If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then sin no longer defines you, death is not the end, and you are not alone—He is alive and present. The question is no longer just, “Is there evidence?” but “What will I do with Jesus?”  REFERENCE: 1 Corinthians 15

This sermon explores what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane, a place whose name means “oil press.” Just as olives are pressed to produce oil, Jesus was pressed in the garden, and through His suffering, something powerful was produced for us.  The first pressing produced oil for light, reminding us that Jesus is the Light who enters our darkness.  The second pressing produced oil for healing, po...

In the Old Testament, His presence dwelled in the temple. In Ezekiel, it departed—showing that activity can continue without His presence.  It returned in Jesus, who made a new way through the cross. Now, God’s presence lives in His people, and believers are called to carry it wherever they go.  REFERENCE:  1 Corinthians 3:16

When God looks at you… what does He see? Your past? Your mistakes? Your failures? Or something completely different?  In this sermon, pastor Selvin Cortez teaches how being a Christian is not trying to be made right—it is being made right in Christ.  Enjoy!  REFERENCE: 2 Corinthians 5:21

How do we reach God? In this sermon, come discover what it means to approach God freely through Christ as Pastor Selvin Cortez continues our series “Being a Christian Is…” This message explores the biblical story of access to God and how when Christ came, He restored what was lost. Through His sacrifice, the barrier between humanity and God was removed.   If you want to grow closer to God, this me...

Being a Christian isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about receiving a new life in Christ. It’s not about what you did. It’s about what He has done. In this sermon, Pastor Selvin Cortez reminds us that through Jesus, we can go from death to life.  Enjoy the message and be encouraged! REFERENCE: Ephesians 2:1-8

Two years. Countless prayers. A defining moment. In this anniversary message, “This Is the Crossing,” Pastor Selvin Cortez walks through Joshua 3–4 and shows how Israel’s crossing of the Jordan was more than a historical event — it was a prophetic picture of the Cross. This message will strengthen your faith and help you step confidently into the promise God has prepared for you. Enjoy!  REFERENCE...

We’ve all walked through seasons that felt dry, hidden, or difficult. But what if those desert seasons are actually preparing you for something greater? What if God is developing in you the strength you’ll need for your next season of influence and impact?  In this sermon, Pastor Mark Lecompte will help us to see differently the moments where it seems like nothing is moving forward so we don'...

Called Together teaches that relationships are not meant to complete us but to align us with God’s calling. The message begins by grounding identity in Christ: we are already complete because we are created in God’s image and made “very good.” From that secure identity, relationships are revealed as purposeful, not compensatory.  Marriage and community are designed for shared mission—living for Go...

This sermon explores the question that follows every believer: What am I going to do with Jesus? Using the life of Nicodemus, it traces the progression of faith through three stages. Shadow Faith believes in Jesus but hides in fear of exposure, choosing safety over identification.  Calculated Faith speaks cautiously, engaging truth without fully obeying it, adjusting conviction to remain comfortab...

Are you limiting God through fear, impatience, or a narrow outlook? Do you place boundaries on Him when circumstances seem medically, scientifically, or logically impossible? Let's let God be God!  REFERENCE : GENESIS 12,16,17,18, 21

Prayer is not a one-time moment—it is a posture of faith that asks, aligns, and keeps believing. Asking opens the conversation with God, alignment clears our hearing by removing shame and false identity, and believing sustains us when answers are delayed. Silence is not rejection, delay is not denial, and resistance does not mean God is absent. The space between *Though* and *Yet* is where faith i...

Through Scripture, personal stories, and the example of Jesus, we’re reminded that prayer isn’t about perfect words or informing God of our needs—it’s about intimacy, alignment, and transformation. Prayer may not always change our circumstances, but it always has the power to change us. As we begin a new year, this message invites us to move beyond resolutions and into revelation, discovering what...
