What is the big deal about confessing sin if we as believers already acknowledge personally what we have done wrong? Through the voices of prophets, the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and moments of personal reflection, God calls us to face the truth. When we're honest with God, it transforms our hearts and makes us more authentic in our relationships with others. Join us as we unpack the power of...

Where does prayer start, and what makes it powerful? Prayer is meant to align our hearts with God's will, trusting that He will move in our lives and bring His kingdom on earth. It's not just about asking; it's about believing His power and trusting in His faithfulness.

Are you in a season of waiting? In this sermon, we'll explore Acts 1:4-11 and  how faithful waiting always involves faithful working . Waiting isn't passive, it's an opportunity to focus on God's eternal Kingdom and actively live out your faith. Learn how to stay purposeful, trust in God's timing, and rely on the Holy Spirit for strength as you wait. 

Are you waiting on God to do a miracle in your life? In today's message from Luke 1, we'll see how sometimes the miracles we're looking for are already happening in ways we don't expect. We often focus on the big, dramatic moments while God is at work in the small, everyday things too—revealing His bigger plan. The true miracle of Christmas is that God saves us through Jesus, and it's amazing that...

Life has a way of testing our patience, doesn't it? Whether you're waiting on an answer, a breakthrough, or a sense of direction, the in-between can feel overwhelming. Yet, what if this season of waiting is not wasted? What if, in the quiet moments of uncertainty, God is revealing Himself in ways we might be missing? In today's message, we're going to explore how even in the waiting, God is presen...

How is waiting on God an often-overlooked power? Waiting isn't just about passing time—it's a season that forces us to reflect on our lives, understand God's truth more deeply, and realign our priorities. Through the lens of Isaiah 64:1-12, we'll discover how waiting on God has always been part of His plan to shape and transform us.

What's the most memorable gift you've ever received? Not the most expensive, but the one that truly touched your heart. In this episode, we reflect on how the best gifts often come from a deep understanding of what we value—just like Jesus taught us last week. Money can be helpful, but it can also be hazardous. Let's explore what really makes a gift meaningful.

When we prioritize money, we let it replace God in our hearts. We begin to depend on it as we should depend on God, making it our master instead of a tool. As Jesus said, we cannot serve two masters (Luke 16:13), and we cannot be both friends with the world and with God (James 4:4). This is the problem with money.

In Numbers 33:1-2, as the Israelites remember their wandering, we're reminded to celebrate God's faithfulness not just in big moments, but in the small ones too. It is important to create a rhythm of remembrance—pausing regularly to reflect and give thanks for God's presence in every part of our lives. Join us as we explore how to keep a heart of remembrance alive every day.

Let's explore the story of Balak and Balaam from Numbers 22-24 , where Balak tries to hire the famous seer Balaam to curse Israel. Despite conflicting instructions from God—first saying "no," then "go"—Balaam's journey reveals key lessons about waiting on God's timing and understanding His plan, even when it's unclear. Tune in to discover how God's sovereignty and our motives intersect while navig...

We're diving into a powerful topic: the danger of mocking God's provision in our lives, much like the Israelites did with the manna that sustained them for 40 years. This manna symbolizes Christ, and when we embrace cultural Christianity, we risk diminishing His sacrifice. Jesus didn't die so we could take control; the call to follow Him is non-negotiable. Let's explore what that truly means for u...

The Bible is refreshingly honest, revealing not just the triumphs but also the failures of its greatest heroes. This morning, we will continue looking at one of the most significant figures in Scripture: Moses. Despite his incredible leadership and the miraculous acts he performed, Moses also made mistakes that had lasting consequences.

What do you do while waiting in traffic? It's frustrating, but it can also be a chance for reflection. Moses learned patience while leading the Israelites, reminding us that waiting can be a time for growth. Today, we'll explore Moses life and see how he turned moments of waiting into opportunities. How God taught Moses and used Moses to continue His Story for all of mandkind. Let's embrace the jo...

Have you noticed that the American economy is often driven by desire? More ads for products reflect how marketers tap into our wants, blurring the lines between need and want. This creates a culture of consumption where we chase the next best thing instead of appreciating what we have now. Today, we'll explore God's word to see why God makes us wait. Let's dive in!

Have you ever tried to fight the ocean's current at the beach, without sinking your feet into the sand for stability? Or maybe you've watched a sport game unfold in a downpour, with players struggling to find their footing in the mud and snow? Today, we're going to explore another powerful message in 1 Peter and connect it with Matthew 7:24-27. Just like those players need a solid foundation to st...

Who is a leader that has blessed your life? Being honest with ourselves it is not going to be the President of our nation or some celebrity figure we have never met or talked to. Watching a video where a person shares promises for change or steps to attain wealth is not really blessing us. Leaders that have blessed your life have to have an integral part of the world around you. Leadership is a bu...

Rejection isn't a problem to solve, it is a tension to live in. This statement sums up I Peter 4:12-19 but Pastor Brian dives deeper. Check out todays message and learn how scripture teaches not to live as "Sunday Saints and Monday Aint's"!

Want to know a true test of love in the "American Church"? Consider the vast differences represented politically inside of any church. The person you spent time reading the Bible with probably has very different political views. This is what makes the Church of Jesus the largest coalition of unlikely brothers and sisters in history.

What scares you? How have your fears changed as you get older? I would assume financial security is now more fearful than your night light not being turned on after dark. As believers we should not struggle with fear yet we all still do. Even telling ourselves not to fear often does not seem to help. So here is your reminder of where true hope comes from as we continue the Stand Firm series. No ma...

Peter does not make friends when it comes to wives and husbands relationships when reading from todays view. However, when Peter was writing about "submissive wives" and "loving husbands" the culture and society was drastically different from what it is today. So let's learn together what God teaches about husbands and wives in I Peter 3.

Common lies believed in society today is, "If my heart wants it then it must be good" or, "follow your heart" or, "do what makes you happy." While this belief may make us feel empowered in it does not live out well in real life scenarios. Work places would be a mess if everyone followed their heart rather than their job description. Road systems all over the world would be absolute mayhem if each...

What do you think of when you hear the word church? Many picture beautiful cathedrals, tall auditoriums, steeples, stained glass and so on. Peter knew the physical Temple was being destroyed and the new temple would be God's people. So how do we live as the temple according to Peter?
