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.

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.

Pastor Owen Mason teaches on the divine design and purpose of marriage, focusing on keeping God’s priorities at the center of the relationship.

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

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

In Pastor Owen Mason’s message, “What Have I Done?”, we are challenged to examine our hearts, lives, and faith in light of God’s Word. The haunting question, “WHAT…have I done?” invites deep reflection on our actions, motives, and spiritual condition. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 3:3, we’re reminded of the Lord’s faithfulness—He guards and establishes us even when we feel spiritually vulnerable. Yet, as Matthew 24:10-13 warns, many...

"He Got Up!" powerfully captures the essence of Jesus' resurrection, emphasizing its significance for believers. At the heart of the message is the identity of Jesus as the Word, as declared in John 1:1-4, 14. Jesus existed from the beginning, was with God, and was God. All things were made through Him, and in Him is life—the light of men. When the Word became flesh, Jesus entered the world, full of grace and truth, s...

Based on 2 Timothy 4:2, Pastor Mason will challenge us to stay ready—whether in times of ease or hardship. The verse reminds us to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” This call is not just for ...

In the sermon “Releasing Favor,” we focus on how surrendering our all to Jesus and operating in obedience can unlock God’s abundant blessings in our lives. The foundation of this message is based on the principle that everything we have belongs to God. As 1 Timothy 6:7 reminds us, “for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” Thus, our giving should be an act of faith and joy, as 2 Corinthia...

In this third installment of The Long and Winding Road, Pastor Owen explores the profound truth that we are created as a three-part being: spirit, soul, and body.

Through scripture, we’ll journey deeper into the significance of each part of us:

The Spirit is reborn in Christ and is ...

In this continuation of "The Long and Winding Road," we dive into the transformative power of grace and truth that comes through Jesus Christ, as outlined in John 1:17. It's time to leave the guilt and shame of your past behind, as Romans 6:6 reminds us that through Christ’s sacrifice, we are no longer enslaved to sin. God’s grace has removed our transgressions as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12), and w...

God's reassurance in Exodus 4:12 emphasizes that He equips us for His purposes, just as He promises in Isai...
