This message, based on Matthew 23:23, challenges us to re-examine our priorities, moving away from a superficial, performative faith toward an authentic, heart-centered connection with God and others. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for meticulously tithing even the smallest spices—mint, dill, and cumin—while neglecting the "weightier provisions of the law": justice, mercy, and faithfulness, as echoed...

Colossians - August 16th, 2026 17.08.2026 25:49 ↓

Paul closes Colossians by showing that even a “goodbye” passage can disciple the church. He points to three people in the final greetings as living examples of what mature Christian life looks like. Epaphras models persevering prayer. Paul says Epaphras is “struggling” or “wrestling” in prayer for other believers, showing that prayer can be hard and requires intention, self-control, and sometimes...

Colossians August 9th, 2026 10.08.2026 30:39 ↓

In a difficult season for the early church—when leaders like Paul were imprisoned and communication was limited—the message is that God’s people are part of something far bigger than a human organization, and God always has purpose in what He is doing. Paul’s instructions in Colossians 4:2–6 become a practical guide for how the church remains strong and faithful in any era. First, believers are ca...

At the Movies 2026 Fantastic Four July 26th' 27.07.2026 13:10 ↓

God’s heart is the “shepherd heart” from Luke 15: He leaves the 99 to go after the one who’s lost, hurt, or vulnerable, even putting Himself at risk to rescue and carry them home. Using Fantastic Four and the contrast with Galactus’s transactional “consume and move on” mindset, the sermon challenges us to reject people-as-numbers thinking and ask: how far am I willing to go to protect and pursue t...

At the Movies 2026 Thunderbolts July 19th 20.07.2026 42:32 ↓

The sermon uses the movie Thunderbolts as a picture of what it feels like to live with a painful past and the heavy weight of shame. The characters are trained killers and “disposable delinquents” with real darkness behind them, and the film’s central struggle becomes: what do you do when you can’t escape what you’ve done, what you’ve seen, or what you believe you are? From there, the message turn...

What if the little things you overlook every day are actually the key to winning the race that matters most? Pastor E draws from the film *F1* to illuminate one of Scripture's most beloved commands: *"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God"* (Micah 6:8). Just as driver Sonny reads the tra...

At the Movies 2026 David 09.07.2026 21:40 ↓

What if God has already shown you where you're headed, but the path feels impossible? Through the story of King David—anointed king yet hunted, doubting, hiding in caves—Pastor Wadmar reveals that faithfulness isn't the absence of struggle; it *is* the struggle. Like David singing "Why, God?" while fleeing Saul, we've all wrestled with callings that don't make sense. Wadmar's message offers a powe...
