Titus is to teach the people of Crete how their (and our) lives should look so that instead of denying God by our deeds, our deeds point others to God who gave His son to save us from our sin. We are not “being good” to earn our salvation like some were teaching in Crete. Jesus redeemed us from our sin and our response is to honor our savior by how we live. We are to be zealous for good deeds so that our lives might point others to...

What you believe will always show up in how you live. In Titus 1, Paul calls out empty religion, false teaching, and people who talk a big faith but live small lives. This message explores why growing in faith sometimes requires being confronted, corrected, and uncomfortable—and why truth without grace wounds, but grace without truth lies. At the end of the day, your life doesn’t just talk about God—it proves whether you actually k...

Ever felt like the "forgotten one" in your family, or the one who has to be perfect all the time? We will dive into the silent struggles of favoritism, jealousy, betrayal, waiting forgiveness, and redemption through the story of Joseph. Bringing the awkward into the light and discovering how God turns family messes into purpose.

We all have parts of our lives we’d rather keep hidden — habits, thoughts, or past choices that carry shame. In John 4, Jesus meets a woman hiding behind her secrets and invites her into freedom instead of condemnation. He doesn’t expose her to embarrass her; He brings truth to heal her. When we bring our hidden struggles into His light, we don’t find rejection — we find redemption.

This sermon invites us to reflect on what it truly means to understand and surrender to God’s will for our lives. By looking at the perfect example of Jesus, we see how He willingly laid down His own desires in obedience to the Father. His ultimate surrender on the cross shows us the depth of God’s love and the life we can experience through Him. As followers of Christ, we are called to trust God’s plan and yield our lives fully to...

"My Praise is Powerful" reminds us that worship is more than a sonf, it's a weapon. Scripture shoes that praise shifts atmospheres, brings breakthrough, and points others to Christ. Even when circumstances don't change, our worship declares God's goodness and keeps our hopes anchored in heaven. When we choose to praise in every season, God moves in ways we could never imagine.

What if there was something so powerful it could completely change your relationship with God? That’s what prayer is—simple conversation with the Creator of the universe. Yet so many of us struggle with it: we’re busy, distracted, or unsure if it even works. In this message, we’ll see how Scripture shows that God hears and answers prayer, and we’ll be challenged to put it into practice this week. Because when you start talking with...

As we finish off the book of James, he leaves us with an encouraging, yet difficult reminder: To stand firm in our faith and hold fast to the truth in patience, or as many commonly call it, long suffering. James reminds us that the coming of the Lord Jesus is near, but in the meantime, we need to hold each other up in prayer and faith, not divide, but unite in one mind and one spirit! James instructs us to pray for one another, con...

This lesson explores James 3:13-18, contrasting worldly wisdom (characterized by self-promotion and bitter jealousy) with wisdom from God (demonstrated through humble actions and peaceful behavior). It emphasizes that true wisdom is demonstrated through humble actions rather than mere knowledge and is characterized by eight key traits: being pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, merciful, fruitful, unwavering, and without hypocrisy....
