Drawing from Revelation 1, he unpacks what it means to represent Christ with courage, integrity, and endurance—just as Jesus Himself was the “faithful witness.” Pastor David reflects on personal loss and the martyrdom of his close friend, Charlie Kirk, urging believers not to retreat in fear but to live boldly for truth. He reminds the church that our calling isn’t merely to be Christians in name but to faithfully bear the testimony of Jesus through love, perseverance, and obedience. Every believer is commissioned as both king and priest, called to carry God’s dominion and righteousness into every sphere of life.
Pastor Bonny Andrews challenged King’s Church to live an “all in” life under the lordship of Jesus Christ. He began by addressing the mental health crisis in New York City and how it can be turned into the greatest gospel opportunity by connecting people to Jesus, Scripture, and community. From Genesis to Revelation, he showed how cities are often built on rebellion, independence, and competition, yet God calls His people to live surrendered lives under His authority. Being “all in” means submitting every area of life to Christ, walking in obedience, exercising radical faith, living generously, and being led by the Holy Spirit. Bonny reminded the church that salvation is a gift, but lordship is a surrendered life—Jesus must be Lord of all, not just Savior.
This sermon addressed the sobering cultural moment following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and called the church to rise up in spirit and truth. Pastor Trebor honored Charlie Kirk’s legacy and tied it to the biblical reality that truth has always been opposed. From Isaiah to Elijah, from Stephen to Paul, to Jesus Himself, truth-tellers have been met with violent resistance. The call for king’s Church in this pivotal moment is not to shrink back, but to step forward boldly in the Spirit’s power and grounded in God’s truth. The message pressed the congregation to move beyond passive Christianity into a decisive commitment: “Here I am, send me.”
Pastor David Engelhardt preached on the true mission of the church, which is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, not just to grow in numbers or focus only on evangelism. He contrasted worldly systems like socialism with the Kingdom of God, emphasizing that God’s kingdom is built on freedom, virtue, and responsibility. Preaching from Matthew 7, he explained how Christians are called to judge, not hastily or judgmentally, but righteously, with truth and gentleness. He also warned against casting “pearls before pigs,” urging believers to guard sensitive, life-giving gifts, dreams, and testimonies. Ultimately, he called the church into a season of action, to ask, seek, knock, and advance God’s Kingdom through equipping, evangelism, and faith-filled obedience.
Pastor Bonny Andrews shared a powerful message on the need for a spiritual reset as we step into a new season. Using Revelation 2 as the foundation, he reminded the church of Christ’s call to return to our first love. He challenged the congregation to realign their priorities, set clear boundaries, guard intimacy with God, and live out the original vision God has placed over their lives. Through testimonies of God’s favor, his family’s move to NYC, and stories of revival among students, Pastor Bonny called the church to surrender afresh, reprioritize devotion, and commit to building strong relationships rooted in God’s love.
Pastor David preached on the call of every believer to run their God-given race with endurance by fixing their eyes on Jesus. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10 and Hebrews 12:1–2, he emphasized that our identity and placement in life are God’s design, not our own choice. We are God’s workmanship, created for good works prepared in advance, and we must resist distraction and covetousness to focus on Christ. Using vivid illustrations from horse racing blinders, personal family moments, and God’s multiplied grace, he reminded the church that while valleys and trials come, the race is marked out for each of us, and victory is found by staying fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Pastor Sincere unpacked Jesus’ radical call to discipleship, showing that following Him is not about comfort but surrender. Using Matthew 8 and Luke 14, he explained that many want the benefits of Christ without the cost of obedience. One man was too quick to follow without understanding the sacrifice, while another delayed because of family obligations. Both missed the priority of Christ’s call. True discipleship means letting go of idols, security, and divided loyalties, trusting that what we gain in Christ far outweighs anything we lose.
Elder Eric Lucas shared a message from Matthew 11:28–30, reminding the church that Jesus invites the weary and burdened into His rest. Using the story of Mary and Martha, he contrasted striving in our own strength with the peace found in relationship with Christ. He emphasized the need to rightly discern seasons of labor and rest, remaining yoked to Jesus so that our work flows from intimacy with Him rather than self-effort. Rest, he explained, is not inactivity, but Spirit-led refreshment that empowers Kingdom service.
In this message, Pastor David teaches that walking on water isn’t just a miracle story, it’s a prophetic pattern for the Christian life. As Jesus called Peter to step out in faith, God is calling His people to rise above fear, culture, and comfort. This new Kingdom Age isn’t marked by church spectatorship but by Spirit-empowered sons and daughters who bring heaven to earth. With a bold mix of truth and the gifts of the Spirit, believers are invited to shift from survival mode into supernatural mission, to stop watching from the boat and start walking by faith.
In this compelling message, Pastor Jim Anderson speaks from Judges 6 on the calling of Gideon and connects it to the call of God on each of our lives, especially in a generation marked by moral confusion and sexual brokenness. Drawing from his personal testimony, his work on identity and purity, and his recent trip to Taiwan, he emphasizes the urgent need for spiritual deliverers who are grounded in identity and peace. Pastor Jim addresses the war on men and the confusion around masculinity, offering a vision of manhood and womanhood that reflects God’s design. He urges the church to confront cultural lies with compassion, revelation, and truth, raising up a generation of sons and daughters who live as restored, called, and courageous deliverers
Pastor Sincere Cardona continues in the Gospel of Matthew, picking up in chapter 8 to highlight the healing ministry of Jesus. Focusing on the accounts of the leper and the centurion, he teaches that both men demonstrate sincere faith—faith that trusts in Jesus’ authority to heal. The leper approaches Jesus with reverence and boldness, fully convinced of Jesus’ power but submitting to His will. The centurion, a Roman outsider, astonishes Jesus with his recognition of divine authority, believing Jesus could heal with just a word. Pastor Sincere challenges extremes—those who treat God like a vending machine and those who deny His ongoing power—and calls the church to hold healing in “humble expectation.” Above all, he reminds us that every healing points to the greater wholeness to come, and that the greatest healing is the forgiveness of sin through Christ.
Elder Travis Nolt shares a deeply personal testimony of being delivered from fear-based religion into the freedom of sonship in Christ. Raised in a conservative Mennonite community, Travis grew up in a culture of silence, performance, and strict moral codes, yet struggled inwardly with fear, shame, and an unclear view of God’s love. Though baptized at 14, it was not a baptism of repentance, but one of obligation. Everything began to change when his parents encountered the Holy Spirit, and he reluctantly agreed to attend a small youth conference in a Pennsylvania cabin. There, the Spirit of God met him powerfully, breaking years of internal bondage. Through worship, teaching, and the love of Spirit-filled believers, Travis encountered the tangible presence of God and knew for the first time that he was a beloved son. Romans 8 came alive as he walked into a Spirit-led life no longer ruled by condemnation. This testimony is a call for all who have known religion without relationship to embrace the freedom of life in the Spirit.
In this message, Pastor Sincere Cardona unpacks what it means to live with godliness as members of God's household. Drawing from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, he emphasizes that the issue with the church is not “out there” but begins with us. The house of God is not an abstract concept—it’s embodied in the local church where believers are called to reflect the character of God in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Pastor Sincere distinguishes true godliness from external religiosity and challenges the congregation to be transformed from the inside out by grace-empowered obedience, rooted in sound doctrine and reverence for Christ.
In “The Untrodden Path,” Pastor David Engelhardt draws from Joshua 3 and Revelation 1 to challenge believers to step into uncharted territory with bold faith. As the Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan, God commanded them to walk forward—even before the waters parted. Pastor David likens this to the Church’s current moment: a crossing into greater authority, influence, and responsibility as kings and priests of God. He emphasizes that obedience must precede breakthrough and that faith often requires action in advance of clarity. Pastor David also shares a prophetic update about stepping into a new season of media influence for the Kingdom. The call is clear—God is raising leaders who will not follow the well-trodden road, but blaze a trail of righteousness, excellence, and dominion through faith.
On this Sunday, Eric Metaxas joined Pastor David Engelhardt in an interview-style message focused on the final Beatitude: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.” Metaxas shared his reflections on the current cultural hostility toward biblical morality, the erosion of American identity, and the call for Christians to embrace spiritual courage. Drawing from both Scripture and his deep historical knowledge, he contrasted biblical righteousness with modern cultural compromise and emphasized the need to live unashamed of the gospel. Christians are called to walk boldly in the truth, knowing persecution may come—but so will reward.
Pastor David Engelhardt unpacks the seventh Beatitude—“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” He explains that peacemaking is not passive but deeply spiritual, requiring both the courage to engage in conflict and the wisdom to do so from a pure heart. Drawing from Isaiah 2, Daniel 2, and Matthew 5, Pastor David highlights that God’s kingdom is not retreating, but expanding with power and peace through His people. The true peacemaker, like Christ, knows when to confront and when to be gentle. This message challenges believers to pursue peace through purity, the Spirit’s leading, and the Word of God—not political zeal or personal pride. Jesus, the ultimate peacemaker, brings peace through sacrifice, and it is only by His righteousness that we are reconciled to God.
On Pentecost Sunday, Bonny Andrews shares a message titled “Standing in Faith,” emphasizing the power and purpose of the Holy Spirit. He draws a parallel between political inauguration and spiritual empowerment, showing how the Church was launched in Acts 2 through the outpouring of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit didn’t come just to comfort believers but to clothe them with power for mission. Andrews challenges the church not to remain passive—once you’re filled, you’re meant to be sent. Through stories of obedience, personal testimony, and biblical reflection, the message calls the Church to say “yes” to God, trusting that wherever He leads, He will also provide.
This sermon explores the Beatitude “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” in the broader context of Christian transformation and freedom. Pastor David dismantles fear-based religion and performance-driven spirituality, showing that mercy is not mere leniency but a prophetic identity granted by grace. The sermon contrasts slavery to law with the freedom of the new covenant, emphasizing that true satisfaction comes not from religious obligation but from walking in loving, Spirit-led relationship with God. The merciful are not those who reject God's moral order but those who walk in it from the inside out, through communion, not compulsion
In this fourth message on the Beatitudes, Pastor Sincere Cardona unpacks what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Building on the previous Beatitudes—poverty of spirit, mourning, and meekness—he shows how true spiritual hunger is not just desire, but a supernatural appetite produced by the Holy Spirit. This longing is not for abstract moral behavior, but for God himself—to be with Him and like Him. Pastor Sincere warns against sloth, not as mere laziness, but as spiritual indifference that numbs us to our need for God. Through vivid analogies and the tragic story of Samson, he contrasts holy hunger with misplaced desires. The sermon calls believers to reject apathy, feed their flame, and keep craving the presence of God as their ultimate satisfaction.
This message explores the third Beatitude, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," emphasizing that meekness is not weakness. Pastor David dismantles cultural misunderstandings around the term, illustrating how biblical meekness—strength under control—is modeled in the person of Jesus and symbolized by a trained warhorse: powerful yet obedient. Meekness is a necessary condition for kingdom inheritance and spiritual authority, not an optional character trait. The sermon warns against the modern virtue of self-determination and celebrates the gentleness of Jesus, who leads with tender strength and calls His people to embody the same.
