And every believer needs to remember… that no one is better than the other… regardless of what the world may think or say or what kind of achievements someone has… Here Paul reminds us that the cross unites all believers together Because it levels the playing field - The cross draws a clear line between the church and the world. But here we see how it erases the lines inside the church. I believe...

Out of all things He could’ve prayed for, for believers of all time…before He goes to the cross…out of all things…He prays for their UNITY. You think it’s important, church? Jesus prays that our unity, as believers, will be like that of Him and the Father and the Holy Spirit…that our unity will reflect the Trinity itself! Why…so that the world will see that and know that He is REAL! And find that...

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 |... (God) will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Paul throughout this letter will call out and correct their sin, but he doesn’t want to destroy their confidence and assurance. Before addressing all their flaws, he starts with this foundation:...

Christmas Eve

Matthew 2:1-2 | Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” What happens here in the beginning of the New Testament is not God starting something new- Christmas is God fulfilling what He promis...

We just saw Abraham trust God when it made no sense. And we saw how God provided for Abraham on that mountain. But Christmas shows us something even greater. If God did not hold back His very best at Christmas, He is not going to hold back what you need today. So let me ask you… Where do you need to trust God to provide? Where do you need to place something back in His hands? Maybe it is your fami...

We’ve tried all kinds of things to hide and cover up our shortcomings. Adam and Eve tried sewing fig leaves. Some of us will sin to cover up sin: We’ll lie about our past. we’ll pretend to be someone we’re not. We’ll put on a facade. Some of us will try to do good to cover up our wrong: we’ll show up to church, give more money to the offering, serve in a ministry… as if we could “distract” God fro...

Remember to always… 1. Share with the Lord. 2. Share about the Lord. 3. Serve the Lord. 4. Sing to the Lord.

People’s perspectives were put back into place, and they were reminded by that quiet, gentle voice, why they were there- that they were all neighbors who cared deeply about the community- they were just seeing things from a different side of the fence. In our family, we will face moments when we don’t agree. What if, when things get heated in our lifegroup gathering… you listen to the gentle, stil...

So we are not just saved out of hell, but we are also redeemed into a family. Jesus did not die on the cross and resurrect from the grave just to get us into heaven in the future. The forgiveness and life that Jesus offers opens the door to God’s house and God’s family now, with plenty of beds and rooms for all people to find rest. Are you tired of living in a perpetual famine? Are you exhausted f...

The world doesn’t change… the Winds will always be present. But blessed are those today, who are saved and are getting baptized, because of the powerful change that takes place within them, not outside of them. Their sins are redeemed. Their soul is restored. Their mind is renewed. God has filled them with His Spirit, and the pneuma will always be present. Just as sure as the wind that blows again...

From these people, the genealogy shows us, comes Jesus our Messiah. Boaz was willing to be forgotten so that Elimelech would be remembered. And by God’s sovereignty, God has preserved and has perpetuated Boaz’s name in the lineage of Jesus. As long as this word lasts, so shall Boaz’s name be identified with Christ. Will you live to be forgotten, so that Christ will be remembered?

We are to act in faith and move with boldness and courage, but when we have actively done all that we could do, we patiently wait on God to do what only God can do. By faith you actively search for a job, diligently prepare for the interview, faithfully pray for God’s provision; Then by faith you patiently wait for God to provide the position or the promotion he’s prepared for you. By faith you ac...

From the Christian's perspective, there is no such thing as chance. God is either directly or indirectly involved in everything that happens to us. He can therefore be trusted and obeyed in any circumstance, because even the smallest details are under His control.

I feel like almost weekly, I’m meeting people who have been away from church, or far from God, for years. And now, you’re looking for a home to come back to. You’re wanting to return back to God. If that’s you, I believe God is saying “Welcome home!” And I’m not just referring to SBCC, though I would love this to be your home… More importantly, home is where God’s heart is. Home is in the arms of...

Do you trust that God is your King? Do you lean on what God says? When you don’t know what to do, and you don’t know what is right… “DO NOT LEAN on your own understanding. Do not lean solely on human understanding. In a world with so many voices: From our academic institutions and our theological tribes, from our political parties and our media algorithms… There are so many messages being communic...

Pastor Todd Grant joins us from Watts Powerhouse Church to share a powerful message about how God used a very, very broken down Samaritan woman to tell others about Him. Sometimes, we throw up our arms and say, “God can’t use me. I don’t know the Bible well enough. I am not mature enough in my faith. I haven’t been walking with Jesus long enough.” The woman at the well didn’t have any of those qua...

There are written accounts of an old Roman practice…when a child would be born into a family, it would be placed at the feet of it’s father. If the father stooped down and picked up that child, it would be legitimized and brought into the family. But sometimes, the father wouldn’t pick up the child. Maybe the child looked weak or frail, maybe the child wasn’t the preferred gender, or maybe it was...

Today I want to show you why I don’t believe all paths lead to God, but only one path in particular does. There’s only one road that gets you to Heaven. I want to take you on a simple journey called the RomanS Road to salvation. NOT the Roman Roads of the Roman Empire, but the RomanS Road found in the Biblical book of Romans. There will be 4 stops along the way- 4 passages that summarize how to ge...

Remember what really matters - That’s Jesus. If ever there was a time when we’ve got to follow Jesus, it’s today.

Listen to a special service as members from our missions and local outreach teams shares powerful stories and lessons from their recent trips! Hear firsthand how God is moving, the lives that were impacted, and how each team member experienced His faithfulness in new ways.

The Lamb who was slain, was not slain in vain. Christ suffered and was slaughtered so that the nations would be blessed. Those who had been scattered because of sin to different tribes, tongues, and nations in Genesis…will be gathered together as one people again One day, under One God, singing together in one tongue in Revelation.
