If Jesus really rose from the dead, it changes everything! That’s exactly what Peter declared on the day of Pentecost. Standing before a crowd in Jerusalem, he didn't offer vague encouragement or a call to be more religious. He pointed to one fact that changed history: "God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it" (Acts 2:24).T...

So far in our current Sunday morning series, we have learned that God guides us into his will by his Word and by life’s circumstances. But sometimes, God seems to speak to us more directly, through a still small voice, a gentle leading, or an unshakable sense of conviction. Every day, we’re surrounded by voices—opinions, expectations, emotions, fears. Some voices come from the outside. Others whis...

And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “ ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”Acts 13:46–47 << Test Firs...

It’s one of the biggest questions we all ask: “What is God’s will for my life?” Whether it’s a career move, a relationship decision, or simply knowing what to do next, we often feel pressure to “get it right.” But what if we’ve misunderstood what God’s will really is? This Sunday, we kick off our new series, “The Trip to Troas,” exploring how God leads us to make decisions with His guidance—not by...

Yesterday, we explored Philippians 4:6 together. In 2024, this was the most searched-for verse on the internet. It is truly an encouraging verse. But read in context, this passage offers so much more! It provides a formula that allows us to experience God's protective hand over our heart (emotions) and mind (thoughts) (Philippians 4:7).

We’ve all done it—made promises to God in exchange for what we want. “God, if You fix this, I’ll do better.” “If You answer my prayer, I’ll follow You more closely.” It feels natural, doesn’t it? Like a negotiation where both sides give and take. Many people read the verse above and assume Jesus is offering a divine transaction: If we give God what He wants, He’ll give us what we want. But is that...

2 Timothy 1:7 was the third most searched verse online in 2024. "God has given us not a spirit of fear. . ." But be careful; this passage does not call us to a "fearless" life. True courage isn't about being fearless - it's about fearing the right thing. In our text today, we discover how followers of Jesus can live out a meaningful and bold existence. Catch to full s...

In this message, we're reminded of the beautiful unity and uniqueness found within the body of Christ. Diving deep into Ephesians 4, we explore how God calls us to walk worthy of our calling, emphasizing humility, gentleness, and patience. The key insight is that our faith isn't just about individual growth, but about building up the entire body of believers. We're challenged to con...

"Life is precious - from conception to eternity. Today's sermon explored the sanctity of human life and how we can engage in compassionate, gospel-centered conversations about abortion. We discussed three key questions: Who determines when life begins? How important is life? Do rights have limits? Our ultimate goal isn't just to be pro-life, but pro-eternal life. As we advocate for...

In this exploration of glory, we delve into Ephesians 3, uncovering the truth that our glory comes not from our own achievements, but from Christ's sacrifice for us. While the idea of glory is difficult to define, it is easy to recognize it when we see it. Glory creates an unexpected awe that results in adoration, praise, and worship. And, ultimately, God's greatest glory is revealed as...

"Are your plans for 2025 missing the most important question? In today's sermon, we explored James 4:13-17 and the subtle sin of making plans without God. It's easy to answer the who, what, when, where, and how - but are we forgetting the crucial 'why'? By creating plans that confidently align with God's Word and humbly allow for God's will, we can find true purp...
