From the beginning, work was never meant to be a burden but a meaningful partnership with God himself — a vital part of what it means to be human. In this sermon, we’re looking at Genesis 2:4–19 and talking about how God made us for good, meaningful, creative work — not just to get by, but to partner with him.

The resurrection changed everything—but what will you do with the good news? In Luke 24:1–12, we see different reactions: the women ran to tell it, the disciples dismissed it, and Peter investigated and ended up marveling. We break down each response and ask: are you telling, doubting, exploring, or marveling? The gospel invites us to consider the evidence and be amazed.

Paul shows us how to gospel well—by letting our hearts be stirred, stepping into real conversations, and pointing people to Jesus. In this sermon, we talk about spotting gospel moments, building bridges, speaking truth with love, and why the resurrection changes everything.

The gospel of Christ is both a comfort and a confrontation, and as we faithfully proclaim it, we can expect a variety of responses. Yet, regardless of how people respond, at the core of our mission is the love of Jesus that compels us to continue sharing his truth. In this sermon, let us be encouraged to faithfully declare the gospel, trust God to bring about transformation, and respond with grace to whatever unfolds.

No one is excluded from hearing and believing the gospel. Looking at the story of Peter and the gentile, Cornelius, in Acts 10:34-48, we see that as God calls us to share the gospel with everyone he is also at work in people’s lives, preparing their hearts to receive the message of Christ.

In this sermon, we explore Acts 2:22-41 and the call to boldly proclaim the gospel—the good news that sinners can be made righteous through Christ. Boldness comes as a gift from the Holy Spirit, empowering us to share the only hope for salvation—Jesus Christ. We learn some practical ways to step out in faith and proclaim the gospel to those around you.

In this sermon, we dive into Numbers 33:50-56, exploring how God’s journey for his people through the wilderness was meant to establish the exclusive worship of him. Idolatry has no place among God’s people, and we must confront and destroy the idols in our lives that compete for our worship. Through identifying, acknowledging, and expelling idols, we learn to embrace the promise giver and live with a heart fully devoted to him.

No matter where we are in life—whether in a season of wandering or on the brink of something new—God’s call remains the same: be faithful, make disciples, and raise up the next generation. In this episode, we explore Numbers 26 and 27 where we see the power of faithfulness, the lessons found in leadership, and the role of God’s presence in shaping those who will come after us.

While sex is a gift from God, mishandling it can lead to devastating consequences. God’s wrath against immorality isn’t out of anger, but out of his deep love for us and his desire for us to be holy. In this sermon, we explore the profound truth that God’s grace is revealed through his jealousy for our holiness.

God’s holiness serves as both a guide and a source of strength when we face envy, discontentment, and resentment. We explore the significance of remembering God's holiness while navigating the wilderness of life to find contentment, grow in gratitude, and shine as a beacon of hope in difficult seasons.

When the spies return from Canaan with a report of giants and fortified cities, fear takes hold of the people, leading them to doubt God's ability to deliver on his promise. We reflect on the story of the Israelites in Numbers 13 and 14, where fear and faith collide in the face of God's promises.

In this sermon, we explore the deeper significance of holiness in the Israelites’ journey. God prepares His people for a journey of rest, but this rest is only found through holiness. Holiness isn’t about rules or being “holier than thou,” it’s about being set apart for God’s purpose, as he leads his people toward peace, blessing, and rest.

In this new series, we explore the significance of God's presence at the center of our lives, drawing from the Book of Numbers. In the wilderness, the Israelites were called to focus on God’s presence, and we are called to do the same today. We dive into the rituals God gave his people—rituals that reveal deep values and help us center our lives around him.

Jesus not only saves us from our past but also gives us new life, new identity, and new purpose. Through the story of Mary Magdalene, we see the transformative power of Jesus’ resurrection and we are challenged to say “yes” to God’s call and to share the life-changing message of Jesus: Go and tell all to come and see that Jesus saves.

How can we honor Jesus publicly? How does the image of the cross give us the courage to take bold risks for the Kingdom, even in the face of fear or opposition? We explore the powerful transformation from passive, private faith to a bold, public mission, inspired by the courage displayed by Joseph of Arimathea in the wake of Jesus' death.

Whether it’s personal doubts, allegiances to something else, or our own religious filters, we often stand in the way of genuine belief. But the cross confronts and overcomes these barriers by revealing God's character, power, and faithfulness through Christ at the cross.

We look into Nicodemus’ conversation with Jesus, where his curiosity was met with the ultimate revelation of God’s love on the cross. This is the same invitation extended to us to shift our focus from the wrong things and onto the right things to truly find life.

Loving others isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the primary application of the gospel. John’s letter show us practical ways to love one another that leads us to a deeper, more committed love that reflects Christ to the world.

We dive into the powerful truth that the arrival of God’s love in Christ transforms us in every way. When God became human, he demonstrated the ultimate act of love—a love that is worth remembering, celebrating, and sharing.
