This week, we return to our sermon series through the book of Romans with a message from Pastor Ulysses on Romans 4.

This week we begin the year with a message on faith. Today’s passage highlights a notable example demonstrated in the story of Moses, from which we can learn the true characteristics of faith.

This week, Pastor Ulysses shares a message from Haggai 1 titled Consider. As we step into a new year, this passage invites us to pause and examine our ways—asking where we are headed and what may be crowding God out of our lives. We are reminded that when we turn back to the Lord, He is faithful to help us rebuild a life with Christ at the center.

This week, we celebrate the hope of Christmas with a message from Matthew 2. In this passage, we see that Jesus is born not just as a Savior, but as a King—one whose authority reaches every corner of our lives.

This Sunday, Pastor Ulysses unpacks the heart of the gospel in Romans 3:21-31, reminding us that God’s righteousness is revealed not through the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ.

This week, Pastor Ulysses teaches from Romans 3:1-20, reminding us that God is faithful even when we fall short. Paul shows that none of us is truly righteous and that we desperately need God’s mercy. Rather than taking His faithfulness for granted, we are invited to face our sin honestly and place our trust in Him.

This week, Pastor Ulysses shares a message that continues our sermon series through the book of Romans. The message builds on last week's talk with a focus on hypocrisy in the church: As Christians, we may be tempted to take pride in our religious endeavors and standing, but how often do we end up showing the world an image that tarnishes the reputation of God? This is a far greater tragedy than w...

This week, we continue our sermon series through the book of Romans with a message from Pastor Jonathan.

In this talk, Pastor Jonathan helps us unpack the passage and what it may look like in our lives, cha...

This week, Pastor Ulysses begins our new series in Romans with a message from Romans 1:1–15. Paul reminds us that we’ve been bought by the blood of Jesus and called to serve His kingdom. Through the sermon we learn what it means to understand God’s calling rightly and find joy in living fully for the gospel.

This week, we continue in Psalm 134, a passage dedicated to those who have felt unseen or forgotten. As the final Song of Ascent, it reminds us that God sees and values those who serve Him in quiet, hidden moments, just as the priests and Levites kept watch in the temple through the night. We are encouraged that our faithful service matters to God, and He is always deserving of our praise.

This Sunday, Pastor Yoon from Kairos Church shares a sermon that also wraps up our congregational retreat.

Pastor Jonathan unpacks what this exchange reveals about the true source of blessing in our lives and challenges us to reframe how we view sacrifice in light of God’s ultimate sacri...

Pastor Ulysses continues the sermon series this week with Psalm 131. This is one of the shortest Psalms in Bible at only three verses, but it’s a powerful one through which we learn about pride and hope. Is pride causing us to set our sights too high? Are we putting our worth and value in worldly factors like wealth or relationships? Where is our hope at the end of the day?

This week, Pastor Ulysses begins our new sermon series with a message from Psalm 130. He breaks the psalm into four sections: crying out to God, reckoning with our sin and need for mercy, longing for the Lord’s redemption, and proclaiming His steadfast love to others. Through this, we are reminded that our greatest hope is found in God’s mercy and His promise to redeem us from all our sins.

This week, Pastor Ulysses concludes our sermon series on the book of 1 John with a message from 1 John 5:13–21.

Lastly, John closes by showing us how our actions reveal the idols that compete for our hearts and our need to guard ourselves by remaining steadfast in Christ.

This week we continue our series through the book of John with a message by Pastor Jonathan.

This week Pastor Ulysses teaches from 1st John chapter 4. We are reminded about the prevalence and persuasion of false profits in this world, and how we are to be discerning and test every spirit against the central truths of the Christian faith. Pastor Ulysses calls us to remain true to the gospel message, and confidently proclaim it clearly to the world, even if it’s not the most popular.

Pastor Ulysses continues the sermon series through the book of 1 John, this time through a critical passage in which John discusses love. We learn about the ultimate act of love, the importance of living out love in our everyday lives, and the assurance we can have because of it.

If Jesus returned today, would we be confident or ashamed of how we are living our lives? In this message, Pastor Jonathan unpacks what it truly means to be a child of God, both in our actions and in our identity. We are reminded that it’s not about God being on our side, but about us fully living on His.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues preaching through 1 John 2:18–27, where we are reminded of the growing spiritual deception in our time. He reminded us that false teachers, those who deny Jesus is God and offer secret knowledge, distort the gospel’s truth and power. In contrast, true rest and guidance come not from hidden insights or solo spirituality, but through the Spirit’s work within us, t...
