In this message, Kristian Tjemsland reflects on the story of Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52) and what it teaches us about leadership, faith, and vulnerability. On his way to Jerusalem, fully aware of what awaited him, Jesus stopped to listen to a blind man crying ou...

This Christmas Eve message reflects on the quiet moments that change everything—not the loud or dramatic ones, but the small and often unnoticed turning points. As part of a family-friendly service with an extended Children’s Time, this shorter sermon explores how God works through what is humble, ordinary, and easily overlooked. Drawing from Micah’s prophecy and Luke’s Christmas story, the messag...

Drawing on Isaiah 12, Psalm 92, and Philippians 4, we hear a consistent message: God’s final word is not judgment or fear,...

Why Lead Like Jesus? Scriptures: Malachi 4:1–6; Psalm 85; Luke 21:25–36; Romans 15:4–13 Theme: We lead like Jesus because His coming restoration calls us to live with hope, humility, and holy urgency.

These Scriptures show a coming restoration where God heals, judges, renews, and gathers the nations....

In Philippians 4:10–20, Paul reveals a radically different way to live: a life marked by deep contentment, generous worship, and trust in God’s unfailing care. Drawing from his own highs and lows, Paul teaches that contentment isn’t natural—it is learned as Christ strengthens us through every circumstance. This passage also shows how generosity becomes an act of worship. The Philippians’ gifts to...

This message explores the hidden habits that shape every servant leader. Seth Ueland Chancy teaches that real strength doesn’t come from charisma or public gifting, but from the unseen rhythms of prayer, solitude, Scripture, and worship. Looking at Jesus’ own pattern of withdrawing to pray, we see that public strength always flows from private surrender. Romans 12 calls us to be living sacrifices,...

What does it mean to live as a role model for Christ? In this message, Donny Martinus shares a powerful reflection from Mark 5 on the transformation of the demon-possessed man at Gerasa. Once isolated and tormented, he encountered Jesus—and his life was completely changed. But the story didn’t end there. Jesus sent him back to his community to be a living witness of God’s mercy. This message explo...
