In this message, we explore how spiritual gifts, while vital for the church’s flourishing, must be exercised with deep humility and in close community. Paul begins Romans 12 not with a call to action but with a warning: “Don’t think you are better than you really are.” Before serving with our gifts, we need to examine our hearts. Gifts are not achievements, but grace-gifts from God. The church is a body, not a platform, and pride c...
The Christian faith has always faced two great distortions of the gospel: legalism and lawlessness. Legalism insists that you must earn God's love through strict obedience, turning faith into performance and God into a distant taskmaster. Lawlessness, on the other hand, twists grace into permission to sin, offering cheap affirmation without transformation. Both errors sound convincing, even biblical, but miss the heart of the gospe...
Not everyone who claims the name of Jesus truly belongs to Him. In this striking passage, Jesus warns that outward signs—words, spiritual gifts, even miracles—are not the ultimate test of genuine discipleship. What matters is whether our lives reflect a growing obedience to the will of the Father, shaped by grace and empowered by the Spirit.
As Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount, He draw...
Jesus proclaimed: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6). God had said that there is only one way for us to gain salvation – hence the description of the narrow gate. The philosophies and culture of society continue to broaden the wider gate by suggesting new ways that humanity can accept as alternatives to God’s one way of salvation. Jesus said only a few would find...
Wolves Among Sheep: Recognizing False Prophets. Matthew: 7:15-20
Prayer is more than just getting what we want from God: it is about partnering with Him in a conversation that looks to the approaching fullness of His kingdom. Jesus speaks of having the right heart attitude and that we pray persistently. As we grow in our prayer partnership with God those prayers become conversations that enable us to hear God more clearly. Matthew 7:7-11 and Luke 18:1-8
We all wrestle with anxiety—whether it’s big worries that shake us or the small, nagging ones that add up over time. But Jesus gives us eight reasons not to be anxious.
He tells us: Life is more than food and clothing. Look at the birds—they don’t store food, yet God feeds them. Worrying won’t add a single hour to your life. God clothes the lilies in beauty—won’t He care for you even more? The world chases after things, but your Fa...
We live in a world full of distractions, constantly pulling our hearts in different directions. But Jesus calls us to set our hearts on things that are eternal, filled with light, and worthy of our devotion (Matthew 6:19-24).
Earthly treasures—money, status, achievements—fade away. But the surpassing worth of knowing Christ lasts forever (Philippians 3:7-9). What you treasure will shape your heart, your focus, and ultimately, your ...
This sermon unpacks the parable of the vineyard workers to reveal the radical nature of grace in God’s kingdom. It challenges cultural understandings of fairness, success, and meaning, contrasting them with God’s unearned generosity and ultimate authority. Through Jesus, we are offered a new vision for life: one under God’s reign where purpose, justice, and eternity are defined by His grace, not our efforts. Mathew 20:1-16
