We've all said it: “I love my job, but the people…” The truth is, navigating a toxic or dysfunctional workplace can test your faith like few other things. In this final message of our Work Matters series, we explore what it looks like to represent Jesus in the hardest environments—when coworkers are difficult, integrity is rare, and your values are constantly challenged. Looking at the life of Daniel, we'll see how one man stood firm, shined brightly, and made a difference—even in a hostile setting. This message is filled with practical encouragement for anyone trying to follow Jesus at work, especially when the atmosphere is anything but Christlike. Whether you're dealing with petty office drama or outright hostility, this teaching will help you live faithfully, stay spiritually grounded, and see your workplace as one of your greatest mission fields.

Have you ever asked, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” You're not alone. In this message, Pastor Rex shares how discerning your calling is less about choosing a perfect career and more about becoming the person God created you to be. Through Romans 12 and other Scriptures, he explains how God often guides us not with a lightning bolt, but through the steady pull of character, gifting, passion, and personality. Whether you're a student wrestling with your future, a mom wondering if what you do matters, or someone considering a career change, this sermon will help you understand that God does have a purpose for you—and He wants to guide you step by step. God's call may not be loud, but it's always personal.

Is it possible to work hard, honor God, and still have a healthy personal life? In Part 2 of our WORK MATTERS series, we explore how to pursue a sustainable work-life balance in a culture that often rewards hustle over health. While Scripture teaches that work is good and God-honoring, it also warns against the dangers of overworking and misplacing our identity in what we do rather than in who we are in Christ. In this message, we ask honest questions like: How would you know if work is taking over your life? Are you working to avoid something deeper? What does real rest look like? Pastor Rex unpacks biblical principles from Exodus, Proverbs, Matthew, and more—offering three practical steps to help you reclaim balance, prioritize Sabbath rest, and center your life around the Kingdom of God. Whether you're a workaholic, a weary soul, or just trying to find your footing in a busy season, this message is for you.

Does your work really matter to God? Many of us will spend 40% of our lives working — but have we ever stopped to ask what God thinks about our jobs? In Part 1 of our brand-new series Work Matters, we'll discover that honest and noble work is actually a partnership with God. Work isn't a curse — it's part of our calling! Join us as we unpack what Scripture says about work (John 5:17, Genesis 2:15, Colossians 3:23, and more) and why your job — no matter what you do — is sacred when you do it for the Lord. We'll also talk about how God uses work to build our character and shape our lives for His purposes. If you've ever wrestled with work-life balance, finding your calling, or surviving tough workplaces, this series is for you. And it's the perfect time to invite a friend who's navigating those same questions!

The resurrection is either the greatest hoax in history—or the greatest truth the world has ever known. In this Easter message, we look at the story of Thomas, a man who refused to believe until he saw Jesus for himself. His story reminds us that God welcomes honest doubters and invites every skeptic to explore the evidence for the risen Christ. When we encounter the truth and place our trust in Jesus, it changes everything. Are you ready to move from questions to confidence, and from doubt to worship?

What happens when the power of God collides with the forces of darkness? This week, we meet a man whose life was completely out of control—tormented, isolated, and chained by forces he couldn't escape. But one encounter with Jesus changes everything. In part two of Extreme Makeover: Life Edition, we'll unpack what true spiritual freedom looks like, why demonic influence is more real than many want to admit, and how Jesus doesn't just set people free—He restores them and calls them to purpose.

What is the church really here for? In this first message of our new series, we dive into one of the most important questions a believer can ask: Why does the church exist? Looking at Luke 15, we see Jesus' heart for those who are lost and how He calls us to join Him in reaching them. Through three powerful parables, Jesus reveals God's relentless love and the joy of seeing people come home to Him. If we're going to be the church God intends, we need to grasp His purpose and make it our own. Don't miss this message as we explore what it means to live out our calling.

When life falls apart, we want answers. We cry out, “God, why is this happening?” But what if God is less concerned with explanations and more focused on our faithfulness? In the final message of When Life Hurts, we walk through Job 38-42, where Job finally hears from God after his season of suffering. Through Job's story, we'll discover three essential lessons: embracing the unexpected, living patiently with the unexplained, and seeking a deeper understanding of God.

When life hurts and the pain lingers, we all ask the same question: "When will it end?" Job's story is one of unimaginable loss, relentless suffering, and prolonged silence from God. Yet, through it all, he held on. But how? What can we learn from his endurance when we're facing pain that won't go away? In this message, we'll dive deep into the reality of suffering, the inadequacy of human comfort, and the unseen presence of God in our darkest moments.

When life falls apart in ways we never saw coming, where is God? In this first message of the When Life Hurts series, we dive into the story of Job—a man who had it all and lost it all in an instant. What do we do when tragedy strikes out of nowhere? When we face loss, heartbreak, or suffering, does it mean God is absent? This message wrestles with some of the hardest questions we ask in our darkest moments, offering real answers and lasting hope. Job's story reveals that faith isn't about having an easy life—it's about knowing that even in our pain, God is near. If you're struggling or searching for meaning in the midst of hardship, this message is for you.

When was the last time you felt envy creep into your heart? Envy is a subtle but destructive force that can distort our joy and relationships, no matter our status in life. Whether you're wealthy or struggling, the temptation to compare and covet knows no boundaries. This sermon dives into the dangers of envy through the story of Ahab and Jezebel's obsession with Naboth's vineyard, showing how envy corrupts the soul, harms others, and stirs God's disapproval. Yet, there is hope. With God's grace, we can overcome envy by embracing gratitude, learning to rejoice in others' blessings, and finding true contentment in Him. Join us as we explore how to stop comparing, stop competing, and instead cultivate peace and appreciation for the gifts we've been given. Don't let envy rob you of the joy God intends for you. Let's discover together how to conquer this "green-eyed monster" and live a life of genuine contentment and faithfulness.

Are you chasing after material success, only to feel more weighed down by the pressure to achieve more?

Christmas is a time for gift-giving, but not all gifts are met with excitement. Recent surveys reveal that men aren't thrilled about receiving beauty products, flowers, plants, or books, while women least want kitchen appliances and fitness products.

This sermon addresses a pervasive issue many of us face: the constant desire for more, whether it's a new car, a larger home, a higher salary, or a different body. Through relatable anecdotes and biblical wisdom, we examine how this "disease" of discontentment infiltrates our lives, causing us to compare, compete, and ultimately, feel unfulfilled. Discover how to break free from this cycle by understanding two common misconceptions about contentment. Learn why it doesn't mean giving up healthy ambitions or living in a state of perpetual pleasure. Instead, contentment is about appreciating what you have and finding joy in the blessings around you, rather than constantly seeking what's next. Through the teachings of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:12-13, we uncover the secret of being content in all circumstances. Paul's life, filled with trials and tribulations, serves as a powerful example of how true contentment isn't tied to external conditions but is rooted in a spiritual foundation. This sermon also offers practical strategies to cultivate contentment, such as avoiding comparisons and cherishing human relationships over material wealth. These principles are essential for anyone looking to lead a more satisfying and spiritually rich life. Reflect on the wisdom of Proverbs 6:6-11 and 1 Timothy 6:6, and how they guide us towards a life of industry, gratitude, and godliness. Understand the importance of building good relationships, as emphasized by the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which concludes that "the good life is built with good relationships." This message is a powerful reminder that while financial and material goals are important, they should not overshadow our primary ambition as followers of Christ: to live a life of contentment and to bring others along on our journey of faith.

Dive into Philippians 3:1-11 with us as we explore the profound difference between empty religious rituals and a true relationship with Jesus Christ. Our focus is on how symbolic religious acts can overshadow the genuine spiritual substance they are meant to represent. When these symbols become mere rituals, they lose their meaning and spiritual vitality. We delve into the Apostle Paul's journey of losing his religion to gain a deeper relationship with Christ. The sermon will challenge us to reflect on our own lives and the things we may idolize or pursue with zeal. Paul, once a devout follower of the Jewish law, realized that his strict adherence to religious practices was not enough. He had to lose his religion to truly find salvation in Jesus. We'll also discuss the modern parallels of this struggle, where people often believe that performing religious duties or achieving personal success will earn them favor with God. Paul's testimony in Philippians 3 serves as a powerful reminder that true righteousness and fulfillment come from knowing Christ personally, not through our own efforts. Reflect on these questions as we prepare for the sermon: - What are you trusting in for your spiritual fulfillment? - Are there rituals or practices in your life that have lost their true meaning? - How can you deepen your relationship with Christ beyond religious routines? Paul's radical transformation is a powerful testament to the futility of religion without a personal connection to Christ. He invites us to see that true gain is found in Christ alone. Everything else pales in comparison to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus. This sermon is a call to examine our own lives and ensure that our faith is rooted in a genuine relationship with Christ, not in religious rituals or personal achievements. It's about losing our religion to gain something far more valuable: a vibrant, life-giving relationship with our Savior. Join us to discover how you can move from religion to reality in your spiritual journey. Experience the joy, peace, and fulfillment that come from knowing Christ deeply and personally. This could be the most important message you have ever heard. Don't miss it!
