The Spirit of God isn't just a vague force, He's a gift from the Father, given through the Son, and He's with us, in us, and working through us. We look into John 14 and 16 and talk about how through the Spirit, we're invited to walk with God, love Him, and love others. And just like Jesus needed the Spirit to live out His mission, so do we.

The Holy Spirit isn't just a force or a feeling—He is the powerful presence of God, giving us life. In this sermon, we examine Ezekiel 36 and explore why we need the Holy Spirit. He's the one who gives us life, who regenerates our hearts, and who applies everything Jesus has accomplished to us. Without him, we can't live, we can't grow, and we can't truly follow Jesus.

What kind of work will God reward? In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul reminds us that even as believers, the work we do will be tested. Whether you work in corporate, in ministry, healthcare, or creative space, it's not just about what you do, but how and why you do it. When your work is rooted in Christ and fueled by love, it's never in vain.

What does it look like to really do a good job? Proverbs 31 gives us a picture of work shaped by wisdom, integrity, and purpose. In this sermon, we learn how doing a good job is not about hustling for your own glory, but faithful work that honors God and blesses others.

When work is hard, how do we respond? In this sermon, we explore how the frustration we feel in our jobs can actually reveal what's going on in our hearts. Work was a good gift from God that's now marked by struggle, but through Jesus, that curse is being healed.

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.

Jesus not only saves us from our past but also gives us new life, new identity, and new purpose.

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?

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.

In this day and age of information, we can easily be swayed and overwhelmed by all the news, whether good or bad, that is readily available at our fingertips. But Paul, in Romans 15:8-13, shows us we can still have joy and peace by believing in the hope that God confirmed in Jesus Christ.
