In Judea: Raising Godly Children | Pastor Rob Series: It Starts At HomeRaising godly children doesn't happen by accident—it happens on purpose.In this message from our It Starts At Home series, Pastor Rob challenges parents, guardians, and families to take seriously their role in shaping the next generation. Drawing from Acts 1:8, we see that before we reach the ends of the earth, our first mission field is our Judea—our homes.This sermon walks through three powerful responsibilities every parent carries:Education – Investing intentionally in our children, making them a priority, and embracing our God-given responsibility to teach and discipline with love. Replication – Understanding that we reproduce who we are, not just what we say, and modeling a faith that can be seen and heard. Graduation – Preparing our children for adulthood, building a pathway that leads them to walk in truth long after they leave our homes.Scripture reminds us that God desires godly offspring, and there is no greater joy than seeing our children walk in the truth. This message will encourage, challenge, and equip families to lead well in every season of parenting.

Every relationship has one thing in common… YOU.In this message, Pastor Kevin Moore challenges us to look inward before we look outward. A healthy marriage doesn't start with fixing your spouse—it starts with allowing God to shape you. Through biblical truth and practical wisdom, this sermon explores how personal growth, humility, and intentionality create the foundation for a strong, God-honoring marriage.Whether you're newly married, have been married for decades, or are preparing for the future, this message will help you take ownership of your role and build something healthy that lasts.Scripture-based. Practical. Challenging. Because it really does start at home.

What is carrying you toward Jesus?

"We have seen remarkable things today." — Luke 5:26Are you waiting for a breakthrough? In this powerful kick-off to our 2026 Theme: Through The Roof, Pastor Rob dives into the story of the paralyzed man and the four friends who refused to take "no" for an answer. We learn that miracles don't just happen—we make room for them through radical persistence.When the doors were blocked, these men didn't give up; they went through the roof. This year, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to get into the presence of Jesus. It's time to move past the "crowds" of excuses and break through to the next level of faith and healing.IN THIS MESSAGE:The Power of Presence: Why aligning with God through prayer and the Word is the foundation for every miracle.Overcoming the "Crowd": How to resist the excuses, critics, and obstacles that try to keep you away from your breakthrough.The Vehicle of Community: Why we weren't meant to carry our burdens alone—we need friends to help us "tear off the tiles."SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:I. MAKE ROOM FOR MIRACLESIt starts with alignment. When the Word is preached and God's presence is welcomed, the power to heal is present.Scripture: Luke 5:17, Psalm 16:11, Romans 10:17II. RESIST EXCUSESWe are as close to God as we want to be. Don't let the "Pharisees" or the "crowds" in your life settle for less than what God has for you.Scripture: Proverbs 24:16, Psalm 119:41III. RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE VEHICLEThe paralytic couldn't get to Jesus on his own. We need the "four friends" who have the faith to carry us when we are weak.Scripture: Romans 14:7, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 10:24-25

Who is really in charge of this world—and what kind of Kingdom did Jesus bring?In A New Kingdom, we learn that while evil still has influence in the world today, God's plan has never changed. Through Jesus, God is bringing everything back under His rule, and one day every kingdom will belong to Christ.In this message, you'll learn:Why the Kingdom of God is not political or earthlyHow Jesus defeated sin, death, and the devil at the crossWhat it means to be rescued from darkness and transferred into God's KingdomHow the Kingdom of God lives in us and works through usWhy we live in the tension of the now and not yetWhat the Kingdom of God will fully look like in the futureThe Kingdom of God is spiritual, powerful, and active right now—and it's still coming in full.If you've ever wondered why the world feels broken but God is still at work, this message will bring clarity, hope, and purpose.

Jesus didn't leave us on our own. He sent a Helper.In this message from our Delivered series, we discover the promise, power, and purpose of the Holy Spirit. From the Old Testament promises to the words of Jesus Himself, Scripture reveals that the Holy Spirit doesn't just visit us—He lives in us, stays on us, and works through us.

God promised a New Heart — and He delivered.In this message, we explore how God moves us from rules to relationship, from fear to love, and from outward pressure to inward transformation through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.If you're feeling broken, stuck, or empty, this message is for you — God still changes hearts.

Millions of packages are delivered every Christmas—but none compare to the greatest delivery in history: the birth of Jesus, the Savior God promised long before He arrived.In this message, we explore how Jesus fulfilled the ancient prophecies, proving that God keeps every promise (2 Cor. 1:20). Like Moses delivered Israel from bondage, Jesus delivers us through His blood, His presence, and His intercession.Discover how: • Jesus came at just the right time (Gal. 4:4–5) • He fulfilled prophecies from Genesis, Isaiah, Micah, and more • He leads us into freedom, guides us by His Spirit, and prepares a home for us • Christmas reminds us of the Savior God delivered—for usChallenge: Who can you help “deliver” the good news to this Christmas?

What if the Christian life isn't about stressing over God's will… but simply living under the yes He's already spoken over us? In this message, we unpack how God said yes to us through Jesus, how we respond with our own yes, and how the Holy Spirit leads us to live boldly, obediently, and courageously.Learn why every yes requires a no, how to hear God's voice with confidence, and why we should “say go unless God says no.”If you've ever struggled with overcommitting, decision-making, or knowing God's direction, this sermon will help you walk in freedom, clarity, and faith.Say yes to Jesus. Say yes to His leading. Live under God's divine yes.

In this powerful message, “The Writing's On The Wall,” we dive into one of the most dramatic moments in Scripture — the night a mysterious hand appeared and wrote on the wall of Babylon's palace. What did those strange words Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin mean then — and what do they mean for us today?From Belshazzar's pride to Daniel's courage, this message challenges us to examine our own hearts:

In this message, we confront one of the most destructive forces in our spiritual lives—resentment. We trace the journey from perceived injustice to anger—and, if left unchecked, to hatred and bitterness. We're challenged to ask: Are we holding onto grudges? Replaying offenses? Avoiding people because of old wounds?Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting our enemy to die. But through Christ, we can release the hurt, let go of restitution, remember rightly, and become resilient. Don't miss this transformative word that invites you to exchange bitterness for healing.

In this powerful message from our Bad Soup series, we explore the dangerous ingredient of anxiety and how it can poison our spiritual lives.Drawing from Exodus 32, we see how the Israelites' anxiety while waiting for Moses led them from trust to idolatry. When God seemed silent, their fear drove them to create a golden calf — a warning for us all that anxiety often grows strongest in the spaces where God feels absent.This message challenges us to recognize that God's silence is not His absence, and His delays are often strategic. We're invited to remember His past faithfulness, resist the urge to chase comfort in worldly things, and instead choose faith over anxiety.

In this powerful message from our Bad Soup series, we're challenged to confront the destructive force of shame and discover God's power to bring healing and freedom.Just like the story in 2 Kings 4, where Elisha healed a poisonous pot of soup, this message reveals how God can transform our toxic thoughts and rewrite our stories. Our minds are like bowls of soup—what we put in matters. When shame, lies, and guilt fill our thoughts, they poison our perspective. But through honesty, confession, and the light of God's truth, we can be made whole again.This isn't just about escaping shame—it's about allowing God to turn your story of failure into a testimony of His grace and redemption.

In this message we're challenged to confront our insecurities and embrace the potential God sees in us. The story of Elisha and the poisonous stew in 2 Kings 4 serves as a metaphor for our minds, filled with toxic thoughts that hinder our spiritual growth. We're reminded that God believes in us more than we believe in Him.

In a world filled with deception, we're reminded of Jesus' profound words on the cross: 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.' This message invites us to look beyond surface-level conflicts and recognize the spiritual battle raging behind the scenes. We're challenged to see that people aren't the real problem - it's the spiritual influences manipulating them. By understanding this, we can approach conflicts with compassion and forgiveness, just as Jesus did.

Relationships are more than casual connections—they're a reflection of our walk with Christ. In this powerful message from Ephesians 5, we discover how marriage mirrors the love of Christ and His Church, calling us to love sacrificially and honor one another out of reverence for Him.Whether you're married, dating, raising children, or building friendships, this sermon reminds us that every relationship is an opportunity for spiritual growth and discipleship. When we put God first, all other relationships find their rightful place and flourish.

Are we living at a healthy pace, or are we caught in the frenetic rush of modern life? This powerful message challenges us to reconsider our relationship with time and rest. Drawing from Jesus' example and the biblical concept of Sabbath, we're reminded that free parking isn't wasted time—it's sacred time.

In this message, we're reminded that God is the Lord of all our circumstances, both good and bad. The key lesson is learning to trust God even when life doesn't go as planned. We explore the story of Paul and Silas singing praises in prison, demonstrating unwavering faith in the face of adversity.

Are we truly living as stewards of God's blessings? This powerful message challenges us to reconsider our relationship with our possessions and our role in God's kingdom. Drawing from the biblical concept of 'first fruits,' we're reminded that everything we have ultimately belongs to God.

In this message we're challenged to examine the true source of our identity. The central theme revolves around the parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15, illustrating how we often build our identities on shaky foundations like shame, striving, stuff, and status. But our real identity lies in being children of God. The father's response in the parable - offering a robe, ring, sandals, and a feast - symbolizes honor, authority, freedom, and celebration that come with embracing our true identity in Christ.

In this message we're challenged to examine what it truly means for God to have lordship over our lives. The central theme revolves around Proverbs 3:5-6, urging us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding. This familiar scripture takes on new depth as we explore its connection to God's lordship. We're encouraged to see trust as more than just belief - it's about placing our complete confidence in God's wisdom, plan, and timing.

What if heaven isn't just a place far away, but a promise breaking into your life today? In this inspiring message, we trace God's redemptive plan from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8-17) to the New Jerusalem, revealing how Jesus has defeated our last enemy—death—and is making all things new. Discover how heaven is more than golden streets; it's a return to our true home, a reunion with God, and the restoration of all that was broken. Just like keeping your fork because dessert is coming, we're called to live with expectant hope—because the best is truly yet to come. Let this message shift your focus from temporary troubles to eternal truths.

This message revolves around the Book of Revelation, particularly chapters 8 through 20, which deal with God's final judgment. We're reminded that God's character is both loving and just - He is 'compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,' yet He 'does not leave the guilty unpunished.' This tension between God's love and justice is beautifully resolved in Jesus Christ, who took God's wrath upon Himself so that we might be forgiven.

Are we ready for the trumpet's call? This message delves into the rapture of the church, drawing fascinating parallels between Jewish wedding customs and Christ's return.

We're encouraged to see how God's promises to Abraham and the Jewish people are still relevant today, showcasing His faithfulness across millennia.

In this message, we're reminded that following Jesus isn't about sitting on the sidelines—it's about stepping into the mission. Drawing from John 14:12, we explore how Jesus, the prototype of a Spirit-filled life, invites us to continue His work and even expand His reach. We're challenged to live with a new mindset: What would Jesus do if He were me? From acts of compassion to radical hospitality, we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in a broken world. This message will inspire you to live with purpose, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and to be "Jesus with skin on" to those around you.

In this thought-provoking message, we're invited to take a closer look at our spiritual formation. Are we being shaped intentionally by Jesus—or unintentionally by the world? Drawing from Romans 12:2, we explore the call to renew our minds and resist conforming to culture's patterns. Transformation isn't about willpower or waiting for change to happen—it's about surrendering to God's grace and letting His truth reshape the stories we believe about ourselves. With a comparison to Play-Doh, this message reminds us just how moldable we are—and how crucial it is to stay spiritually fresh.

In this message, we're invited to go beyond just claiming the name of Christ and step into the life-changing journey of true discipleship. Jesus didn't just call us to believe in Him—He called us to follow Him.Discover how arranging your life around the practices and rhythms of Jesus leads to deep transformation.

We're challenged to make the Bible a daily priority and let it transform us from the inside out.

Through surrender, humility, and the power of the Holy Spirit, mothers can walk in joy and purpose, knowing they are part of something far greater than themselves. Discover how embracing God's view of motherhood can transform your heart, home, and legacy.

In this impactful sermon, we're challenged to live with purpose and boldness when it comes to sharing our faith. Drawing from Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, we're reminded that ministry isn't reserved for pastors—every believer is called. Jesus models how to break barriers, engage in meaningful conversations, and lovingly point people to the truth. As we follow His example, we're encouraged to recognize divine appointments in our daily lives, be led by the Holy Spirit, and courageously share the gospel. One transformed life can ripple into an entire community. Are we ready to say, “Pick me, Lord” and step into the mission field that surrounds us?

This message encourages us to move beyond superficial faith and truly surrender to Christ, allowing Him to lead us on the greatest adventure of our lives.

In this powerful message, we explore the profound concept of being a 'scapegoat' in our relationships and faith journey.

This perspective shift invites us to reflect on how we can embody Christ's love in our daily interactions, even when it's difficult.

Are we ready for the revelation of Jesus Christ? This powerful message from 1 Peter 1 challenges us to shift our perspective on trials and suffering. We often misunderstand the purpose of difficulties, viewing them as setbacks rather than opportunities for growth. However, the apostle Peter reminds us that our faith, refined through trials, is more precious than gold. These challenges aren't meant to break us, but to authenticate our faith and bring glory to God.
