Ephesians 2 reminds us of the transforming power of Christ in uniting believers into one body. Paul begins by urging Gentile believers to remember their past condition—separated from Christ, excluded from the promises of Israel, without hope, and without God in the world. This sobering reminder shows the depth of their need for salvation and a changed heart. Just as the rich young ruler learned, external obedience and possessions c...

We continue our study of Ephesians this week with Ephesians 2:1–10 presents the journey of every believer, moving from spiritual death to life in Christ. Paul begins by reminding us of our condition before salvation. We were wandering from God, dead in sin, following the course of this world, ruled by the flesh and the devil. Sin caused us to miss the mark, while trespasses crossed the boundaries God had set. By nature, we were chi...

This message centers on the believer’s call to live faithfully in all areas of life. Drawing from Ephesians 5:15, we are reminded to walk wisely and intentionally, not carelessly. The parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14–30 illustrates the importance of stewarding what God entrusts to us—whether much or little—with diligence and faithfulness. The faithful servants are praised and rewarded, while the fearful, unfaithful servant i...

In High Alert Communication Part 2, Pastor Owen Mason emphasizes that fulfilling God’s plan hinges on deep communion with Him through prayer. Citing Luke 18:1 and Matthew 6:6, he highlights the necessity of consistent, private prayer that remains unshaken by discouragement. Effective prayer begins with intentional time, consistency, removing distractions, and waiting quietly before God.

Prayer must be a priority, as modeled by Danie...

In "The Gideon Call," Pastor Owen Mason explores how God calls unlikely people to fulfill His purposes, using Gideon as a powerful example. In Judges 6:12, the angel of the Lord greets Gideon, a fearful man from the weakest clan, as a "mighty man of valor." Though Gideon protests in Judges 6:15, feeling inadequate, Pastor Mason challenges us to ask: Are we reluctant to answer God’s call? Like Gideon, we must ove...

In his sermon “The Cross Before The Constitution,” Pastor Taylor Justice emphasized that America’s founders, though instrumental in shaping the nation’s laws, placed their faith in Christ above all. He highlighted Roger Sherman, the only man to sign all four founding documents, who confessed in 1788 at White Haven Church his belief in God’s election, Christ’s atonement as the sole ground of salvation, and the resurrection to eterna...

In Part 2 of the sermon “Fulfilling Your Purpose,” Pastor Owen Mason emphasizes that God has a divinely orchestrated plan for each life. Drawing from Psalm 139:16, he reminds us that every day was written in God's book before we were even born. Scriptures like Jeremiah 1:5 and Ephesians 1:4 reinforce that our calling and identity were established before creation. Pastor Mason uses the story of Joseph (Genesis 37:5–11) to illust...

In “Fulfilling Your Purpose,” Pastor Owen Mason emphasizes that God has a unique plan for every individual, which begins with a heart prepared to receive His guidance. Referencing Genesis 37:3–4, he recounts how Joseph was favored by his father but hated by his brothers, introducing the theme that God's purpose often emerges amid adversity.

The first key question is: Is your heart postured to receive? Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3...

Pastor Owen Mason teaches on the divine design and purpose of marriage, focusing on keeping God’s priorities at the center of the relationship. Drawing from Genesis 2:24, Mason highlights how marriage is rooted in the covenant of "one flesh" — a unity that mirrors the believer's union with Christ, as seen in 1 Corinthians 6:17.

Pastor Mason emphasizes that God must be the foundation of every marriage. With Christ as ou...

"Family Restoration Part 4: Marriage" explores the divine design for marriage, rooted in the believer’s new identity in Christ. Drawing from Colossians 3:1-6, the message begins with a call to "put on the new self" by seeking things above, not earthly desires. Believers are reminded that their lives are now hidden with Christ, and therefore must reject sinful behaviors like sexual immorality and selfish passions...

Raising a godly family in today’s world isn’t easy, but God’s Word provides wisdom, direction, and hope for restoration. In this second message of our Family Restoration series, we build on the foundation of Proverbs 22:6—“Train up a child in the way he should go…”—and explore how families can be healed, strengthened, and aligned with God’s purposes.

Joel 2 reminds us that God is a Restorer. No matter what damage has been done—throu...
