In Esther 2, we see the rise of an unlikely heroine placed in an unexpected position of influence. Though God’s name is never mentioned in the chapter, His hand is unmistakably at work—guiding events, opening doors, and preparing Esther for a task far greater than she could have imagined. This sermon explores how God often works behind the scenes in our lives, orchestrating circumstances and placing us in specific roles for His gre...

Join us as we dive into the dramatic opening chapter of Esther, a seemingly secular story where God is notably absent from the text, yet profoundly present in the unfolding events. In this sermon, we'll explore how the lavish feasts, arbitrary decrees, and human machinations of King Xerxes's court set the stage for a divine narrative. We'll grapple with the intriguing tension between God's overarching sovereignty—His purposeful han...

Imagine a gathering, much like the one at Matthew's house, buzzing with a mix of familiar faces and perhaps a few unexpected guests. The sermon unfolds, drawing parallels between that ancient scene and our modern lives. It paints a vivid picture of Jesus, intentionally breaking bread with tax collectors and sinners, those often relegated to the margins of society. The message resonates: sharing a meal isn't just about physical nour...

In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, the simple act of listening to our neighbors holds profound significance. Just as we lend an ear to those within our own households, extending that same courtesy and attentiveness to those who live alongside us can weave a stronger fabric within our communities. To truly listen is to look beyond our own concerns and acknowledge the stories, the struggles, and the joys of those ...

Today we begin our new series, B.L.E.S.S., with the first and most essential step: Begin with Prayer. If we are going to live lives that bless others and reflect the heart of Jesus, it has to start with a constant connection to God. Prayer isn't just a box we check or a last resort — it’s the foundation of every movement of faith and love. Jesus Himself modeled a life rooted in prayer, seeking His Father before every major step. In...

Easter is the glorious celebration of Jesus’ resurrection — the triumph of life over death, hope over despair. Because Christ has risen, we are invited to walk in newness of life, no longer bound by the weight of our old selves. The empty tomb declares that sin and death do not have the final word; instead, grace reigns and transformation is possible. Through faith in Jesus, we are raised with Him to live differently — to love deep...

On Palm Sunday, we witness the powerful fulfillment of God’s ancient promise—a King from the line of David who would reign forever. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, He doesn’t just fulfill the prophecy of Zechariah; He embodies the long-awaited hope of Israel. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” welcoming a king, yet few understood the kind of King He truly was. In this moment, God’s covenant with David is realized—not through mi...

In a world that often overlooks the value of family, God’s command to “Honor your father and your mother” stands firm—and it comes with a promise. This week, we’ll explore what it truly means to honor our parents, regardless of our age or circumstances, and how this command opens the door to blessing. Join us as we discover the power of obedience, the beauty of grace in family relationships, and the promise of well-being and longev...

This sermon explores the significance of Christ’s assurance in Matthew 28:20: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” As Jesus speaks these words, He is commissioning His disciples, sending them out to make more disciples, yet He does not send them alone. This promise of His continual presence is a source of comfort, strength, and confidence for all who follow Him. We will examine how this promise was first g...

Many Christians encounter verses that speak of blessings, protection, or provision and wonder if they can claim them personally. To answer this, we must first consider the context—who the promise was originally given to and under what circumstances. Some promises were specific to Israel or certain individuals, while others extend to all believers. By studying Scripture carefully, we can apply God’s promises with wisdom, trust in Hi...

We've all experienced broken promises—whether from friends, family, or even ourselves. Human promises can be well-intentioned but often fail due to weakness, forgetfulness, or changing circumstances. But God's promises? They stand firm. In this episode, we explore what makes God's promises unshakable, how they differ from human words, and why we can trust them completely. Through Scripture and real-life examples, we’ll dive into th...
