Defeat is not the end of the story—victory is already ours in Jesus. In this message, we look at the finished work of Christ and how we can live in the freedom and authority He has secured for us. The cross didn't just forgive sin; it disarmed every enemy. Anchor Verse: Colossians 2:15 “He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him.” Here's what that means for us today: Sin Has Been Defeated at the Cross — The old self was crucified with Christ (Romans 6:6). Satan's Power Has Been Crushed — Through His death, Jesus destroyed the one who held the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). We Must Walk in the Victory Already Won — Thanks be to God who gives us victory through Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). Victory is Maintained Through Resistance and Faith — As we submit to God and resist the enemy, he has no choice but to flee (James 4:7). The battle has already been won—our role is to live in that truth. With Christ, defeat is not our identity. We stand firm, equipped with God's Word and strengthened by His Spirit, walking daily as conquerors through the love of Jesus.
In this message, we explore what it truly means to be sent by God. Being sent starts with an encounter, leads to a response, and is lived out in obedience. Isaiah's experience gives us a clear picture of this calling. 1. Encountering God's Holiness – Isaiah 6:1–5 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up...” The vision of God's glory and the cry of the seraphim — “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts” — shake Isaiah to the core. Understanding God's Holiness: The weight of His presence is undeniable. Recognizing Our Unworthiness: Isaiah says, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips...” Compelled to Respond: An encounter with God demands a response. 2. Willingness to Go – Isaiah 6:8 God asks, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Isaiah's response is immediate: “Here am I! Send me.” God's Call: A question still being asked today. Isaiah's Response: Bold, surrendered, and without hesitation. Availability Over Ability: God uses those who are willing, not just those who feel ready. 3. Obedience in Action – 1 Samuel 15:22 “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” Importance of Obedience: God values our obedience more than our outward offerings. The Cost of Disobedience: Choosing our way over God's comes with consequences. Facing Doubt and Fear: Obedience often challenges us, but it aligns us with God's purpose. This message is a call for all of us—not just to hear God's voice, but to respond.
Every human soul is hungry for something—but only Jesus can truly satisfy. In this message, we explore what it means to have a deep hunger for God, the kind that draws us closer to Him and transforms our lives from the inside out. Anchor Verse: John 7:37-38 Jesus offers living water to anyone who will come to Him—water that never runs dry and fills us with His life and presence. Here's the journey: Spiritual Hunger— God has placed eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Fulfillment — Jesus is the Bread of Life, the only one who can quench our deepest thirst (John 6:35). The Cost— Following Him means surrender and daily obedience (Luke 9:23). A Life Transformed— Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied (Matthew 5:6). This is more than a message—it's an invitation. Come to Jesus with your hunger, and watch Him fill you in ways the world never could.
Are you walking in the power and authority that Jesus has already given you? In this message, we dive into what it truly means to live a Spirit-filled life that isn't timid or defeated—but bold, empowered, and aligned with God's purpose.
Even when we can't see it, God is always at work — in our lives, our struggles, and our future. In this powerful message rooted in John 5:17, we're reminded that just as the Father is working, so is Jesus. And so should we. Key Takeaways: Remember the Past, But Don't Dwell There (Philippians 3:13–14) – Let go of what's behind and press forward toward your calling in Christ. God Is Always Moving (Isaiah 43:19) – He's doing a new thing. Will you recognize it? Create Trail Markers, Not Monuments (Exodus 12:14) – Memorials help us remember God's faithfulness without getting stuck in the past. Step Out in Faith (Matthew 14:29) – Like Peter, when Jesus says “Come,” we step forward, trusting Him. This sermon will encourage you to stay in step with a God who is always moving — inviting us to follow Him forward in faith, not backward in regret.

What does it mean to be truly successful? In a culture that chases after wealth, power, and status, this message challenges us to redefine success through the lens of Scripture. Join us as we explore Proverbs 16:3 and Colossians 3:23-24, discovering that true success is not found in what the world celebrates, but in committing our work to the Lord and living faithfully for His glory. In this sermon, we cover: The difference between worldly success and God-honoring success (Matthew 16:26) Why diligence and faithfulness matter in every pursuit (Galatians 6:9) How to balance ambition with surrendering to God's plan (Proverbs 16:9, Jeremiah 29:11) Whether you're chasing a dream, planning your future, or just wondering if your work really matters—this message will help you align your goals with God's greater purpose.

Anchor Verse: Romans 12:6 "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them." God has uniquely gifted each of us for a purpose—and it's time we embrace those gifts with passion and boldness!

From understanding the divine source of our gifts to stepping out in faith and using them to serve others, this sermon is a call to live intentionally and passionately for Christ.

Discover how faith anchors us in trouble, obedience reveals our trust, community strengthens our journey, and hope fuels our future.
Recapturing the Majesty of Heaven In this message, we invite you to recapture the awe and wonder of who Jesus truly is. Through the vivid vision given to John in Revelation, we see the majestic King — radiant, powerful, and glorious. This sermon challenges us to: Behold the Majesty of the King — Witness Isaiah's vision of the Lord high and lifted up (Isaiah 6:1–5). Stand in Awe of His Beauty — Desire to gaze on the beauty of the Lord all the days of your life (Psalm 27:4). Walk in Reverent Obedience — Worship our consuming fire with reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28–29). Long for the Fullness of His Glory — Anticipate the day when God's glory is our everlasting light (Revelation 21:22–23). As we fix our eyes on things above (Colossians 3:1–5), may our hearts be stirred with fresh wonder, leading us to deeper worship, greater obedience, and unshakable hope.
The Dead Speak | Jesus – The Ultimate Resurrection and Life
The power went out but God's presence filled the room! In this message, we walk through one of the most awe-inspiring moments in the Gospel of John — the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus doesn't just bring life — He is the resurrection and the life.
"Do not fear, only believe." These powerful words from Jesus remind us that even in the darkest moments, faith can bring hope—and even resurrection. In this message, we walk through one of the most moving accounts in the Gospels, where desperation meets divine power. From Jairus' plea for his dying daughter to a woman's quiet, desperate touch, Jesus shows us that delays are not denials—and that death is not the end. Sermon Points:
Have you ever felt overlooked, broken, or beyond restoration? In this powerful sermon, we dive into Luke 7:11-23, where Jesus interrupts a funeral procession in the city of Nain and raises a widow's only son from the dead. This miraculous moment reveals the heart of Christ—His compassion, His divine authority, and His power to restore what seems lost.
Rejection is painful, but it's not the end of the story — God has a purpose even in our struggles. In this message, we dive into John 1:11, where Jesus Himself was rejected, yet His purpose remained unstoppable.
Overcoming Fear, Doubt, and Adversity in Faith Life often presents us with mountains—challenges that seem impossible to climb. But through faith in Christ, we can overcome fear, doubt, and adversity, standing firm in the hope that God provides. In this powerful sermon, we explore four key mountains we must conquer:
