In a world filled with pressure and uncertainty, Scripture offers us a clear path to lasting peace. In this message, Pastor Brian walks us through Philippians 4:4–9 and invites us to rejoice, release our anxieties, renew our minds, and live out our faith with confidence in the Lord's ways. Paul's words remind us that peace isn't something we manufacture, it's something the Holy Spirit brings as we walk closely with Christ. As we learn to rejoice in the Lord, bring our anxieties to Him in prayer, and fix our thoughts on what is good and true, the peace of God guards our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus! Together we explore what it means to: • Rejoice in the Lord always • Replace anxiety with prayer • Reset your thinking • Repent and live rightly If you're longing for peace, hope, and renewed strength, this message will point you back to the One who provides it.

Send Sunday reminded us of our urgent window to reach the world, as Pastor Brian shared from John 9:4–5 about working “while it is day.” God is moving across the nations, and through Faith Promise giving we continue sending the Gospel to the unreached.

The eighth chapter of Ezra reminds us that the journey of faith is never a solo mission. As God's people set out for Jerusalem, the road ahead was long, dangerous, and uncertain—but they were never alone. God's presence guided them, His hand protected them, and His people walked together in obedience and trust.Ezra didn't rely on soldiers or human strength; instead, he called the community to prayer and fasting, seeking God's protection for the road ahead. And God answered—every person arrived safely, every offering was accounted for, and every step testified to His faithfulness.Let's turn our attention to Pastor Brian for this week's sermon, entitled “Safely Home” from Ezra, chapter 8, verses 1 through 36.

Have you ever wondered what unwavering faith looks like in the darkest moments? Through the eyes of three remarkable women named Mary, we witness profound encounters with Jesus that still echo today. Pastor Brian weaves together their powerful stories—from Jesus' mother's humble "yes" to God's impossible plan, to Mary Magdalene's steadfast devotion at the empty tomb, to Mary of Bethany's extravagant worship that spilled expensive perfume and social conventions. These women show us that authentic faith means trusting when we can't see the path, staying devoted when others walk away, and worshipping unashamedly despite what others think. This inspiring message challenges us to examine our own response to Jesus. Watch now to discover how their ancient examples can transform your faith journey today!Thank you for tuning into today's message at Bold City Church! We pray it encourages you in your faith.

In this sermon, Pastor Brian explores Jesus's declaration "I am the true vine" from John 15, delivered during His final hours with the disciples before the crucifixion. Pastor Brian explains that in ancient Jewish culture, the grapevine symbolized Israel, but Jesus now claims to be the "true vine," indicating that what Israel failed to accomplish as God's chosen people is fulfilled in Him. The Father serves as the vinedresser who both removes unfruitful branches and prunes fruitful ones for greater productivity. Pastor Brian emphasizes that the key to spiritual life and fruitfulness is abiding in Christ, comparing it to his own 25-year marriage where "not getting divorced" is fundamental but insufficient for a thriving relationship. Similarly, believers must actively abide in Jesus through Bible reading, prayer, obedience, and sharing their faith. The fruit of this abiding includes transformed character (the fruit of the Spirit), worship, and spiritual reproduction—making new disciples. Pastor Brian concludes with an invitation for non-believers to be grafted into the vine, for wayward believers to return to abiding, and for faithful believers to express gratitude for Christ's sacrifice.

Ezra 7 marks a turning point in Israel's story. The Temple was rebuilt, but now God sends Ezra to rebuild hearts through His Word. Scripture says again and again, “the hand of the Lord was upon him.” Ezra's wisdom, courage, and success all flowed from God's gracious hand at work in his life.His story reminds us that lasting impact doesn't come from talent or position—it comes from walking closely with the God whose hand still guides, provides, and empowers His people today.Now, here's Pastor Brian for this week's sermon, entitled “In Good Hands” from Ezra, chapter 7, verses 1 through 28.

God is looking for people who will think like servants and live like stewards—those who see everything they have as entrusted to them for His Kingdom. A multiplier mindset isn't about status or success; it's about humility, hard work, and sacrifice for the sake of Jesus. When we live with this kind of mindset, our lives will not make sense apart from the reality of heaven.

Hell. It's uncomfortable, controversial, and often avoided but Jesus didn't avoid it. In this message, Pastor Brian unpacks one of the toughest questions of faith: Would a loving God really send people to Hell? Discover the truth about what Scripture actually says, why it matters, and how God's plan to save the world includes you.

Brian teaches that true healing, friendship, and strength come from standing side by side in community. Using Nehemiah and examples from Scripture and history, he emphasizes that brokenness is repaired, bonds are formed, and life is built together, heart and soul.

God invites us to join Him in building His Kingdom—a work that lasts forever. Each of us has a unique lane to run in, a task assigned by God, and our job is to be faithful in it rather than imitating someone else's calling. When we build our lives on, with, and for Jesus, we receive not temporary applause, but eternal reward and the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Join us as Pastor Brian unpacks John chapter 21 and the idea of Peter's repentance and Judas's lack of repentance.

In Ezra 6, the people of God gather to celebrate Passover—a meal that reminded them of freedom, redemption, and the grace that brought them home. After years of exile, they weren't just rebuilding a temple; they were remembering the God who rescues and restores. Today, as we share in the Lord's Supper, we join that same story. The Passover pointed forward to Jesus—the true Lamb of God—whose blood delivers us from sin and death. Now, here's Pastor Brian for this week's sermon, entitled “A New Passover” from Ezra, chapter 6, verses 19 through 22.

This week, Pastor Brian wrapped up our series on the life of Saul with a powerful message from 1 Samuel 28–31—a sobering reminder of how fear can pull us away from God, and how His grace always calls us back. If you've felt weary or distant, this one will speak hope straight to your heart.

Brian shares about the joy of giving your whole heart and soul to God's work, drawing from Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem to celebrate Cornerstone's two-year “Heart and Soul” journey of faith, growth, generosity, and community impact.

Pastor Brian shares from the book of Luke and Galatians 5.

After years of opposition and delay, the Temple was finally completed—not through human strength, but through the abundant provision of God. Ezra 6 reminds us that when God purposes to accomplish His work, He supplies every resource, every person, and every opportunity needed to bring it to completion. What began with rubble and resistance ended in rejoicing and renewal, all because of the overflowing grace of God. This same grace is at work today—restoring what's been broken, reviving weary hearts, and providing abundantly for every good work He calls us to do.Let's turn our attention to Pastor Brian for this week's sermon, entitled “Overflowing” from Ezra, chapter 6, verses 1 through 18.

We're called to live differently, helping others discover their best life in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual influence doesn't come from eloquence or strategy—it comes from pointing people to Jesus, the source of abundant life. As we rely less on our own wisdom and more on God's power, we become thermostats that set culture rather than thermometers that reflect it.

Pastor Brian speaks on the freedom we find in the gospel from Galatians chapter 5.

Are you really locked in to your calling or just halfway in? This message will challenge you to stop straddling the middle and make the decision to be ALL IN with what God has placed in your hands. What would your life look like if you fully committed to your assignment? If you stopped comparing, stopped drifting, and started watering your own grass? The truth is, your harvest is waiting on the other side of your focus. It's time to shut out distractions, stand on business, and plant yourself like a tree that refuses to be moved. ----more---- ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.
