Pastor McKinley teaches from Luke 3 on Jesus’ baptism, explaining that this moment publicly declared His identity as the Messiah, fulfilled John the Baptist’s priestly role, depicted Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, and revealed the Trinity’s work in salvation.

The sermon contrasts imitation with plagiarism to illustrate how religious leaders of Jesus’ day had corrupted God’s truth, offering a counterfeit faith while rejecting Christ’s true authority.

In this sermon, Pastor Lorenzo Rogers emphasizes that true spiritual growth is rooted in worshiping God and living out four core practices: worship, connect, equip, and send. He teaches that worship is more than singing—it’s a daily surrender of our lives to God, and from that posture flows genuine community, intentional spiritual growth, and a readiness to be sent out for God’s mission. Ultimatel...

Through personal stories, biblical examples, and reflections on fear and faith...

This sermon explores the story of Jonah, highlighting God's justice and mercy. While God's judgment was impending upon Nineveh due to its wickedness, the city’s sincere repentance led to divine mercy—a sign of hope that revival is still possible today, especially in America. Pastor McKinley urges the church to seek revival through humility, hunger for God, obedience to His Word, and daily remembra...

This sermon uses Jonah 4 as a lens to explore how unresolved anger and resentment can distort our hearts and mission.

The sermon uses the story of Jonah to illustrate that God's call on our lives is personal, purposeful, and cannot be escaped, even when we try to resist it. Jonah’s attempt to flee from God led to a downward spiral of disobedience and consequences—not just for himself, but for those around him—yet God pursued him with mercy and discipline. Pastor McKinley challenges listeners to recognize their ow...

Dr. Charles Lowery’s sermon emphasizes that real Christian influence grows not through outward promotion but by living a transformed life that draws others in.

To live well and...
