A look at Acts 10–12: Peter, Cornelius and the church in Antioch, and the grace of God that breaks every human boundary and invites everyone to the table.
A look at Acts 8–9: how persecution scattered the church, and how the Spirit used Philip, an Ethiopian official, Saul and Ananias to grow the gospel in unlikely places.
The Holy Spirit is not a mysterious gift reserved for a select few — it’s a promise fulfilled for everyone. From Pentecost to today, God’s Spirit has been poured out on all people: every nation, every language, old and young, men and women. This message opens a new series on the Holy Spirit, tracing the dream God has carried since before the church was born.
We compare our mess to others’, perform our faith to hide what’s really going on, and mistake rule-keeping for righteousness. This message from Luke 7 — the sinful woman and Simon the Pharisee — shows us that brokenness isn’t what disqualifies us from grace; it’s the very qualification for it.
We all wear masks — in church, on social media, in relationships. This message from Mark 7 challenges us to stop performing and start being real, exploring what it means to unmask our hearts and build a community where authenticity and grace go hand in hand.
When life feels overwhelming and God seems silent, what do we do? This message unpacks two encounters with Jesus in Mark 5—Jairus and the bleeding woman—showing us that faith means continuing to reach out even when we can’t see the way forward.
Like the woman caught in sin, we are all trapped in our own brokenness and deserve condemnation, yet Jesus offers us unconditional forgiveness and freedom. Through communion, we experience not just individual grace but a shared liberation that binds us together as a forgiven community.
Are you still gobsmacked by Jesus? This sermon uses Handel’s Messiah as a lens to ask whether the life and love of Christ still moves us the way it moves a first-time listener. Through a rich retelling of the Prodigal Son, the message reveals a Father whose love is extravagant, reckless, and running — and challenges us to hear the symphony of love with fresh ears.
What does it mean to truly love like Jesus? This sermon explores how authentic, self-giving love is not simply a matter of willpower or imitation, but is energized by living faith. Drawing on 1 John 3–4, Mark 9, and Psalm 23, the message challenges us to root our identity in God as adopted children and to step out in vulnerable, faith-fueled love—even toward those who hurt us.
What would you do if you were God? This sermon explores why God doesn’t always pull us out of suffering — and why that’s actually an act of love. Drawing from Matthew 16 and the lives of Job, Joseph, David, and Jesus, we discover that faith is forged in the furnace of pain, and that confessing Jesus as Lord means trusting him even when it hurts.
