In this message we are reminded that everyone worships something. There are so many things in the world that compete for our attention. Why should we worship the God of the Bible? Because He alone is worthy of our worship. He alone is God. Only He hears and answers the prayers of His people. Because He alone can protect your life. He alone can give you spiritual understanding. Everything else will leave you empty and wanting more.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:1 John 5:13–21Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 34Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

This is the beginning of in a new journey through the book of Acts from Acts 1:1–11 in a sermon titled “The Message that Changes Everything.” The world tells us that life is all about ourselves—but that pursuit always leaves us empty. In Acts, we discover a better way: a life filled with purpose, power, and peace in Christ. Join us as we see how Jesus calls His people to be His witnesses today.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Este mensaje da inicio a una nueva serie de sermones sobre el libro de los Hechos, "La Iglesia en Fuego". El mensaje del mundo trata de mí y de lo que yo quiero, dejándonos vacíos. El mensaje que escuchamos en el libro de los Hechos, "El Evangelio de Jesucristo", llena nuestras vidas de propósito, poder y paz. El Evangelio le da sentido a todo, y en lugar de ser mi historia, es la historia de Dios.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 1:1–11Series:Español

Ever feel like life slams a brick wall into your plans? We all want to go our own way, but God gives something better: Ten commandments that aren't just rules—they're a lifeline. In this sermon, we explore how God's law exposes our need, points us to Christ, and anchors us in a community of love, justice, and peace. From Israel's story to our own, discover how the Spirit transforms hearts, frees us from guilt, and empowers us to live in grateful obedience. If you've ever wrestled with “Why can't I just do what I want?” this message will give you a new perspective on God's “No” and the life He actually designed for you.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

In this message we learn that while Solomon embodied wisdom, it was not pure. He was divided in his heart. The wisdom that is from above is humility in action. It is an undivided heart.

El libro de Eclesiastés es como una clase magistral sobre la vida… para necios. Después de la caída, todos hemos sido afectados por la maldición. Cada uno de nosotros lleva un necio por dentro. Vivimos en un mundo lleno de dolor y tristeza, y nosotros somos la causa de ello. Pero hay un camino hacia la verdadera felicidad, y solo se encuentra en Jesucristo… el camino hacia la Ciudad eterna donde Él habita para siempre con su pueblo.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

The book of Ecclesiastes is like a Masterclass on Living....for Fools. After the fall we have all been affected by the curse. Each of us have a fool inside of us.

¿Qué haces cuando la vida no tiene sentido? Cuando se aplaude al malvado, se ignora al justo, y la sabiduría no recibe recompensa alguna. En este poderoso mensaje de Eclesiastés, el Pastor Taylor Kern nos guía por preguntas crudas y una fe resistente. Escucharás la lucha honesta del Predicador frente a la injusticia y la muerte—y su llamado sorprendente a gozarse de todos modos.

What do you do when life doesn't make sense? When evil is praised, the righteous are ignored, and wisdom goes unrewarded? In this powerful message from Ecclesiastes, Pastor Taylor Kern walks us through raw questions and resilient faith. You'll hear the Preacher's honest wrestling with injustice and death—and the surprising call to rejoice anyway. From forgotten wisdom to defiant joy, this sermon points us to Jesus, the poor wise man who saved the city by laying down His life.

En este sermón, Ningún Rey sino Jesús, consideramos cómo la sabiduría de Eclesiastés nos ayuda a encontrar nuestro lugar en la historia de la redención que se va desarrollando. Con claridad y convicción, trazamos un cambio de pacto: bajo el Antiguo Pacto, el trono pertenecía a David; bajo el Nuevo Pacto, pertenece a Cristo. Este cambio redefine nuestra ciudadanía, llamándonos a vivir como exiliados y peregrinos en un mundo que no es nuestro hogar. En lugar de intentar resucitar una Nueva Cristiandad o recuperar el dominio terrenal, somos llamados a una presencia fiel—sometiéndonos a las autoridades gubernamentales, honrando al rey, pero rindiendo lealtad suprema al Rey de reyes. Mientras esperamos el regreso de Jesús, aprendemos a destronar nuestras esperanzas mal ubicadas y a vivir sabiamente bajo el reinado de Cristo, quien es el único que ocupa el trono para siempre.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 7:25—8:9Series:Español

In this sermon, No King but Jesus, we consider how the wisdom of Ecclesiastes helps us find our place in the unfolding story of redemptive history. With clarity and conviction, we trace a covenantal shift: under the Old Covenant, the throne belonged to David; under the New Covenant, it belongs to Christ. That shift redefines our citizenship, calling us to live as exiles and sojourners in a world that is not our home. Rather than trying to resurrect a New Christendom or reclaim earthly dominance, we are summoned to faithful presence—submitting to governing authorities, honoring the king, but pledging ultimate allegiance to the King of kings. As we await the return of Jesus, we learn to dethrone our misplaced hopes and live wisely under the reign of Christ, who alone holds the throne forever.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 6:10—7:24Series:Español

We learn from today's lesson that Wisdom belongs to God alone. Wisdom is beyond our reach. We long to have control, but we need to surrender to Jesus Christ. He is the wisdom of God. So let us bow in worship and wonder. Let us seek the wisdom of God and not our own.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 6:10—7:24Series:Ecclesiastes

In a world of quiet disconnection and spiritual drifting, Jesus offers something far deeper than belonging to a cause or a community—He offers Himself. In this sermon from John 10:7–16, we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd calling us into His fold, where we are fully known, deeply loved, and eternally secure. Discover what it means to truly belong: to enter through the Shepherd's gate, to be cared for by the One who laid down His life for the sheep, and to join Him in gathering the one flock under one Shepherd. Do you hear His voice?Time:EveningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:John 10:7–16Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 20Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

Este mensaje, basado en Juan 6:60–71, profundiza en el misterio central de la vida espiritual: “El Espíritu da vida; la carne no aporta nada”. Se subraya que la verdadera y duradera unión con Dios no se logra por esfuerzo humano, tradición o fuerza de voluntad, sino por medio de la obra misericordiosa del Espíritu Santo. Solo Él puede despertar corazones muertos, conceder fe y unirnos a Cristo, haciéndolo a través de la palabra vivificadora de Jesús. En lugar de buscar alcanzar a Dios por nuestras propias capacidades, se nos invita a permitir que el Espíritu obre poderosamente en nosotros, para que experimentemos transformación, gozo permanente y una vitalidad espiritual recobrada.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

In every great story, the hero has a guide—someone who awakens them to their calling, redefines who they are, and walks with them through the darkest valleys. In Romans 8, we meet the ultimate Guide: the Holy Spirit. He awakens us to the journey of faith, redefines our identity as beloved children of God, and walks with us every step of the way—through suffering, weakness, and even silence. He is not a distant force but a present Helper, a down payment of glory, and a faithful companion who will bring us safely home. Whether you feel stuck, weary, or just beginning to ask questions, this message invites you to listen for His voice and take the next step in the journey He's begun in you.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

In a world aching for transcendence, Ecclesiastes 5 calls us to worship with reverence and awe. True worship begins with the fear of the Lord—but only Christ has worshiped perfectly. Cast out in our place, He now brings us near. Through Him, we stand in God's holy presence—not flippantly, but joyfully.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

We live in a day when many believe that the gathering together in a building for worship is no longer necessary for Christians. They would rather connect via streaming when it is convenient for them.

Please note: The audio quality in the first few minutes of this recording is poor, but it improves significantly once the sermon begins. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. —The Audiovisual Team We live in a culture that prizes independence, yet many feel lonelier than ever. Social media has replaced deep and lasting relationships. This kind of individualism, like a black hole, quietly drains the life out of us—leaving us empty, cold, and isolated. But there's a better way.In this sermon, Pastor Taylor walks us through Ecclesiastes 4:4–16 to show how we can move from the bitter life alone, to the better life together, and ultimately to the best possible life—life under the good King Jesus. If you're tired of chasing independence and hungry for something more, this message points the way.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 4:4–16Series:Ecclesiastes

Many turned away from Jesus when His words became too strange, too hard to accept. But instead of softening the message, Jesus went deeper—revealing the mystery at the heart of true spiritual life: “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.”This sermon explores how true and lasting life with God is not achieved through effort, tradition, or willpower, but by the gracious work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit alone awakens dead hearts, gives faith, and unites us to Christ. And He does so through one means: the life-giving words of Christ.If you long for deeper change, lasting joy, or renewed spiritual vitality, this message invites you to open your heart to the Spirit's breath and receive life through the Word of Christ.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

En el sermón de hoy, el Pastor Taylor Kern continúa nuestro recorrido por el libro de Eclesiastés, enfrentando la dura realidad de que "no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol." Exploramos cómo el ciclo interminable de la vida bajo la maldición del pecado nos lleva a anhelar algo verdaderamente nuevo—algo que solo Cristo puede proveer. El Pastor Taylor muestra cómo Jesús entró en nuestro mundo de futilidad, rompió el poder de la muerte a través de Su resurrección, y aseguró para nosotros una esperanza que nunca se desvanecerá.
