Vision Sunday served as a reminder that our commitment plays a vital role in the church's well-being. Pastor Dennis discusses three ways we can be equipped and empowered as Christians. 'An excuse is nothing more than avoiding responsibility.' When we resort to making excuses, and begin to waver in our commitment, we hinder our ability to experience the fullness of God's blessings until we are ready to offer our best. Increasing you...

In our two-part series, Drama Vs Trauma, we conclude by discussing the heavier subject: trauma. It's crucial to distance yourself from those who don't take responsibility for their actions, as drama often starts with sin (Luke 13:4-5, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27). Your spiritual identity should always come before your cultural identity. While some people struggle with their own Trauma, they tend to get involved in others' issues, making...

Today Pastor Jessie Prince joins us from Grace Church in Plano, Texas. In his sermon, he reminds us that the peace of God isn't something the world can give you, but it also can't be taken away from the world when we know true peace. Peace is a profound gift from Jesus, distinct from what the world offers. John 14:27 reminds us to let our hearts be untroubled and unafraid, as He gives us His peace. True peace does not come from per...

In this two-part series, Pastor Dennis discusses the difference between drama and trauma. Drama is characterized by exaggerated reactions to minor issues, often rooted in personal insecurities, magnifying trivial matters into significant problems. It's an emotional pull that demands us to engage with others' emotional burdens without seeking solutions. This series starts by teaching us the importance of focusing on truth and constr...

Feeling alone is something we all face at times, but God's Word offers profound guidance and comfort. Sunday's sermon reminded us that even great figures like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus experienced loneliness. Moses was disowned by his own people, Elijah was hunted by the ruling power of his time, and Jesus felt the weight of isolation in Gethsemane and on the cross. These stories teach us that we are never truly alone, for God is al...

As we finish our sermon series "The Evidence," Pastor Dennis talks about the final fruit of the Spirit: self-control. Self-control is all about mastery and restraint, in contrast to being impulsive or reckless. Proverbs 25:28 says that without self-control, it's like having no defenses. Self-discipline helps us align with God's will, just as Jesus did. It's often unseen but necessary for long-lasting success. While decisions get us...

Pastor Steve Smothermon Jr. from Legacy Church explains "V.I.S.I.O.N." Vision without action is just a hallucination, inspired by First Chronicles 22:2-19. V.I.S.I.O.N stands for Vision Received, Insight Succession, Steps Taken, Inspiring Others, Overcoming Discouragement, and Nurturing the Future. To truly embody this vision, we must invest in projects with unseen benefits and live our legacy rather than just leaving one, encourag...

In our series "The Evidence," Pastor Dennis talks about the Fruit of the Spirit, "Gentleness." Gentleness isn't just about being mild-mannered or delicate; it's about humility—humbling oneself for others and voluntarily giving up your rights and privileges. Doing small things doesn’t make you small; it shows self-awareness and modesty. Genuine humility reflects God's presence, while its absence indicates dominance by the flesh. An ...

Faithfulness is not an emotion or feelings, its "doing." Faithfulness encompasses stability, reliability, and consistency—it's about being trustworthy in all aspects of life, not just selectively. It's a commitment to honoring our word and carrying through on our promises. As we navigate faithfulness in relationships, work, and service, the focus is on integrity and reliability. Respect and honor are earned through genuine care and...

True goodness comes from God and not from human nature, which is inherently flawed. Believers are encouraged to live as children of light, producing what is good and true. God's goodness involves compassion and selflessness, often requiring personal sacrifice and effort. It transcends earthly understanding and expectations, demanding time, resources, and a commitment to helping those in need, similar to the parable in Luke 10:30-37...

Moms today often wrestle with wondering if they're doing enough for their kids and making the right decisions, all while trying to maintain a balance between work and home life. Scripture encourages trusting in God’s plan, provision, and protection, as exemplified through the stories of Sarah, Hannah, and Jochebed. It serves as a gentle nudge, reminding moms that they're fully capable because they have divine support from God. It a...

Guest Pastor Massoud reminds us that today, around the world, especially outside the United States, the church faces persecution in many forms. Believers endure a variety of challenges – from being shunned by friends, grappling with unfair laws, to experiencing violence simply because of their faith. Pastor Massoud pointed out that even in our home country, we're not immune to challenges. Negative influences quietly infiltrate our ...

Patience is a key in a Christian lifestyle, showing love, kindness, and control over one’s actions. It means listening well, staying calm in tough times, and seeing challenges as chances to grow stronger in faith. Christians are encouraged to pray often, trust God's plan for their lives, and focus on what truly matters like faith, healing, and God's provision rather than chasing wealth. By prioritizing spiritual over material needs...

"Peace," one of the Fruits of the Spirit, is today's focus in our series "The Evidence." Dariel Cummins talks about the difference between a Peacemaker and a Peacekeeper. A peacekeeper often works to maintain peace, preventing conflict from escalating but not necessarily addressing the root causes. A peacemaker initiates the resolution of conflict, much like Jesus calming the storm in the boat with His disciples. To model ourselves...

In our series "The Evidence." Pastor Dennis talks about the Fruit of the Spirit, with a focus on Joy. It's not just about feeling happy; it's about that powerful, soul-deep joy that comes from being in tune with the Lord. In the story from Nehemiah, where Jerusalem's walls had been broken for over 200 years, mirroring the broken spirits of its people. That's where the joy of the Lord steps in reminding us we're wrapped in a love s...

In our sermon 'The Evidence,' during our Easter Service, Pastor Dennis discusses the Fruit of the Spirit: Love. In its purest form, it is an unparalleled force that transcends the bounds of our understanding. God has Agape love for mankind despite our sins and wrongdoings towards His Son and His creation. To counterfeit His love will leave not only your trust but also your heart broken and damaged.

Guest speaker, Pastor Rick Sharkey, from Spokane Christian Center, talks about the healing power of God. Acknowledging God's healing power doesn't negate the value or necessity of medical interventions. It's about understanding that, at times, the healing we seek may transcend the capacities of medicine and that in such moments, turning to God can open up avenues of healing that we might have thought were closed.

Take a moment and ask yourself, "Do people see me as a Christian? Do I show clear signs of my faith?" Just like a tree that gives fruit, our spirit does the same. When we feed our spirits with the Word of God, we start to show the fruit of love. This love then creates joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To know if someone is truly a Christian, you can look at their actions and attit...

Everyone wants to be a mentor, but how many people want to be a mentee? Much like Paul and Timothy's relationship, one was being mentored, while one was receiving the mentorship. We need Pauls in our life to guide us through struggles, providing wisdom from their own experiences. Equally, we need Timothys, individuals we can nurture with the knowledge we've acquired. This cycle of mentorship fosters growth, understanding, and compa...
