November 9th, 2025 | We’ve all run from God in one way or another—but the miracle of Jonah’s story isn’t the fish, it’s God’s grace. Even at the bottom, Jonah discovered that God never left him. In this message, we see how God uses our failures, pain, and rock-bottom moments not just to get our attention, but to restore us into His presence. Because with God, it’s not about what’s happening to you—it’s about what He’s doing in you.
November 2nd, 2025 | Jonah’s story isn’t just about a man and a fish — it’s about us. We all run from God in different ways: through control, comfort, or even religion. But the good news is, God never stops pursuing us. Every storm, every interruption, every wake-up call is His mercy drawing us back to Himself. This message shows how God’s grace meets us in our running and how Jesus, the true and greater Jonah, brings us back home.
October 26th, 2025 | In a world full of counterfeits, Jesus alone speaks with true authority. His Word doesn’t just call us to try harder; it reveals our need for Him and invites us into the life only He can give. The gospel reminds us that revival doesn’t start with our effort, but with His voice — the living Word who still brings dead hearts to life.
October 19th, 2025 | Every day, we face decisions that shape who we’re becoming — and Jesus doesn’t let us sit on the fence. In Matthew 7, He shows that following Him means choosing the narrow road, the harder one that actually leads to life. The easy way might look better now, but it won’t last. God’s already decided to invite us into His Kingdom — the question is, will we decide to follow Him all the way?
October 12th, 2025 | In Matthew 7:1–12, Jesus shows that life in His Kingdom begins with grace, not judgment. Before we can love others rightly, we must first see our own need for mercy and trust our Father who gives good gifts. The Golden Rule isn’t about earning God’s favor — it’s a response to already receiving it. When we rest in His goodness, we’re freed from self-focus and empowered to love others the way Christ loves us.
October 5th, 2025 | Jesus shows us that worry doesn’t come from what’s happening around us but from what’s happening inside of us. What we treasure, what we focus on, and what we devote ourselves to will either fuel our anxiety or free us from it. When we zoom out to see the bigger picture, look up to who God is, and seek His Kingdom first, we discover that worry loses its grip—because our Father already knows and cares for our every need.
September 28th, 2025 | Prayer isn’t performance or persuasion—it’s God’s way of re-focusing our distracted hearts. The Lord’s Prayer is not just words to repeat, but a pattern that realigns our attention: first on God’s name, His kingdom, His will … then on our needs, relationships, and protection. When we live in awe of God, our direction changes. Our anxious, self-centered prayers turn into confident surrender to the Father who already knows what we need.
September 21st, 2025 | We all want to win, but Jesus reframes winning: the Father who sees in secret is the one who truly rewards. Matthew 6 calls us away from public performance and toward humble dependence—storing up treasure with God, not chasing applause on earth. Living for the Kingdom reorients our heart so satisfaction and reward flow from God’s sufficiency, not our accomplishments. In the end, Revelation promises the greatest victory: God with us, everything made new, and an inheritance for those who trust His reign.
September 14th, 2025 | Jesus calls us beyond ordinary love—the kind that stops when we’re hurt, disappointed, or betrayed. Kingdom people love like the Father, freely and without limits, even toward enemies. This isn’t about willpower, but about being rooted in God’s uncaused, undeserved love revealed in Christ. When we receive His transforming love, we can offer it to others in ways that make the world take notice.
September 7th, 2025 | Jesus reminds us that direction, not intention, determines our destination. The moral law isn’t a way into the Kingdom—it’s the path of the Kingdom, showing us what life with God looks like. Our response to His Word reflects the direction of our hearts. Jesus, the true Law-Giver and Law-Keeper, calls us beyond appearances to the depths of our thoughts, desires, and devotion. The path is God’s law, but the power to walk it comes only from His presence.
August 31st, 2025 | The Sermon on the Mount shows us that Jesus didn’t come to erase God’s Law but to fulfill it, inviting us into life in His Kingdom. God’s commands aren’t burdens meant to restrict us, but gifts that help us flourish and reflect His goodness. Through Jesus, we see the Law not as a requirement to enter the Kingdom but as the path of devotion once we’re in it. Real righteousness goes deeper than appearances—it’s a life transformed by God’s love and grace.
August 24th, 2025 | The Kingdom of God is available now, and Jesus calls us to live with a new mindset—seeing Him as the true explanation for our lives. In Christ we already belong to God and have all we need. Our purpose flows out of our position as God’s people: to live in such a way that others see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16). Whatever we do—whether at 9:00 am tomorrow or any moment—we do it for King Jesus, who is our sufficiency, our joy, and our reward.
August 17th, 2025 | God’s Kingdom is here and available now through Jesus—and He calls us to enter it with open hands, willing hearts, and full commitment. True happiness isn’t found in chasing what the world offers, but in living under the reign of the infinitely good and joyful King. This life begins in the mind, as we replace false ideas about God, self, and success with the truth of His Word. Following Jesus may cost us pride, comfort, and even approval, but in His Kingdom, we have everything we truly need.
August 10th, 2025 | Jesus’ announcement — “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near” — wasn’t a guilt trip. It was a call to change our thinking because reality itself had changed. The King had arrived, and with Him came an invitation to a new way of living: the Kingdom life, here and now. The call to follow Jesus isn’t just about what we leave behind, but who we move toward — and the life we step into. Following Jesus might feel costly, but the real cost is missing the King and His Kingdom.
August 3rd, 2025 | Church isn’t just a place you attend—it’s the family God is forming through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit doesn’t just work in individuals; He lives fully among us as a united body. When we show up with conviction instead of convenience, we begin to experience the fullness of God together. Real church is where truth, love, and God’s presence meet.
July 27th, 2025 | God’s presence through His Spirit is personal, powerful, and essential for everyday life. In fear, Jesus shows up with peace—not as the absence of trouble, but as His presence. He not only brings comfort, but also calls and sends us to live with purpose, not just routine. The Spirit fills us—not by our effort, but through surrender—so we can be people of peace, grace, and healing to a hurting world. We’re not just saved—we’re sent and filled to live like Jesus.
July 20th, 2025 | The Holy Spirit is God with us—leading us into truth and helping us follow Jesus. He makes God’s love real and personal, reminding us that we belong to Him. When we stay close to the truth of God’s Word and rely on the Spirit, we grow into who God created us to be. Living by the Spirit means making space for Him in our daily lives and choosing what leads to life instead of what pulls us away from it. It’s not about doing it all ourselves—it’s about letting God do His work in us.
July 13th, 2025 | The Christian life isn’t just about what we believe or how we behave—it’s about being drawn into relationship with the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through the grace of Jesus, the love of the Father, and the fellowship of the Spirit, we don’t live as orphans but as people who belong. The Holy Spirit makes God’s presence real and near, not distant or abstract. This is more than belief—it’s a miracle we’re invited to live in every day.
July 6th, 2025 | In a culture overwhelmed by more—more options, more comparisons, more distractions—our focus is constantly under pressure. But Jesus invites us to live with clarity, not anxiety. When we serve God instead of chasing everything else, our purpose becomes rooted in His kingdom, not our circumstances. Each day, He calls us to live present and faithful, trusting that He already knows what we need. The more we hear His Word, the more we can live with peace that isn’t shaped by tomorrow, but by the One who holds it.
June 22nd, 2025 | It’s easy to be a Christian on Sunday—but what about at 10:00 a.m., Friday night, or at work? The pressures of life and the pull of our old patterns tempt us to compartmentalize our faith or redefine ourselves by performance, approval, or control. But the gospel gives us a new self-image—one that’s God-given, gospel-bought, and Spirit-led. Paul lived with a clear and courageous identity rooted not in circumstances but in Christ, even when facing hardship. That same gospel-centered identity frees us to live with integrity, purpose, and peace, no matter where or when.
