Imperfection

Even Israel’s greatest kings, including David and Solomon, were marked by both faith and failure, revealing the limits of human leadership. Their lives point beyond themselves to the need for a perfect King who would never fall short.

Monarchy

Israel rejected God’s direct rule and sought a human king, but even the best leaders proved insufficient to meet their deepest need. Through David’s reign, we see both the limits of human authority and a preview of the greater King who would extend grace and restore the undeserving.

What Fasting Does in You

Fasting doesn’t just change what you eat; it reveals what controls you and reshapes what you desire. In this episode, we explore what happens inside you when you fast and how it can become a powerful tool for spiritual growth.

Forecast What’s Next

Ministry becomes stressful not because of what happens, but because of what was not prepared for. Faithful leaders look ahead, plan with others, and communicate early so the team can move forward with clarity instead of reacting in chaos.

Apocalyptic

Apocalyptic literature often feels confusing or frightening, filled with symbols, beasts, numbers, and cosmic imagery. Yet its purpose is not to terrify God’s people or hide truth from them, but to strengthen faith by revealing that God reigns even when circumstances look chaotic.

Recent Sermons


Fruit Follows Roots

Luke 6:43-45 – Our words and actions always reveal the heart. Bad roots produce bad fruit, but when the heart is changed, the harvest is too.

Anarchy

Without consistent authority, God’s people drifted into a repeated cycle of sin, suffering, repentance, and temporary rescue. The pattern revealed that what they needed was not another flawed deliverer, but a true King who could break the cycle for good.

Check Yourself First

Luke 6:37-42 – Jesus warned against hypocritical judgment. If you want to help others see clearly, you must first deal with your own blind spots.

Inheritance

After generations of promise and years of wandering, God’s people finally received what He had prepared for them. But stepping into the promise required a daily choice to remain faithful to the God who brought them there.

Why We Don’t Fast

Fasting is not an unknown spiritual discipline in Scripture, yet it is one of the least practiced in the church. In this episode, we uncover why we avoid fasting and what that resistance reveals about what’s really controlling our lives.

The Sunday After Easter

Easter works not just because of the calendar, but because the church becomes more prayerful, intentional, and focused on reaching people. There is no reason that same kind of movement cannot happen every Sunday if we choose to show up the same way.

Jesus Loves Us to Death

Luke 6:27-36 – Jesus commanded us to love our enemies and proved it on the cross. To follow Him means to love as He did, even when it costs everything.

From Death to Done

Romans 6:1-4 – Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers are dead to sin and raised to life. His grace is not permission to keep sinning but power to walk away from it and live differently.

Law

God gave the law after rescuing His people, not as a way to earn salvation but as a standard that revealed His holiness and their inability. In exposing their failure, the law pointed beyond itself to the need for a perfect substitute who would accomplish what they never could.

The Three Things I Do Every Morning

Everyone says you need a quiet time, but few people show you what that actually looks like. In this episode, I walk through exactly what I do every morning to stay consistent in the Word, prayer, and Scripture memory, and how you can build a plan that actually works.

Finish What You Started

Ministry often feels overwhelming not because there is too much to do, but because too much has been left unfinished. Faithful leaders bring clarity, build trust, and move the mission forward by finishing what they have already started.

Gospels

The Gospels present the most important life ever lived through four distinct voices. Learning how and why each Gospel tells the story the way it does helps us read with confidence rather than suspicion and with clarity rather than confusion.

The Upside-Down Kingdom

Luke 6:20-26 – Jesus described blessings and woes that invert the world’s values. If you belong to His kingdom, expect your priorities to look upside-down to those around you.

Redemption

God rescued His people from slavery not by their strength, but through the blood of a substitute. The Passover points forward to Jesus, the perfect Lamb, whose sacrifice alone can turn away judgment and set us free.

A Scripture Memory Plan That Works

Most people don’t struggle with the importance of Scripture memorization, but they struggle with how to actually do it. In this episode, we walk through a simple, sustainable plan that helps you start memorizing Scripture and actually stick with it over time.

Coordinate Respectfully

Ministry requires more than good intentions; it requires thoughtful planning and clear coordination with others. When leaders count the cost, invite counsel, and communicate well, the team moves forward together instead of creating unnecessary confusion.
