Hope can feel hard to come by these days. We move from Thanksgiving straight into Christmas at full speed, yet our hearts are often tired, distracted, or weighed down. In Colossians 1:25 to 29, Paul reminds us of a truth that can steady us in every season. The mystery once hidden has now been revealed. Christ lives in us. He is our hope of glory. In this message, Pastor Darren shows how Advent calls us to slow our pace and remember the hope that is already ours. True biblical hope is not wishful thinking or blind optimism. It is a confident expectation rooted in the character, promises, and presence of Jesus. When Christ abides in us, he transforms how we see our struggles, how we endure hardship, and how we move forward in faith. Is your hope anchored in circumstances that shift every day, or in the Christ who holds all things together?

Pastor Darren teaches from Acts 3 and invites us to recover a simple truth. Healing was never meant to be unusual for the people of Jesus. In the early church it was normal for God to meet people in their pain, restore what was broken and reveal his Kingdom through ordinary disciples who made themselves available.Through the story of the man at the Beautiful Gate and the testimonies coming from our own community, Pastor Darren shows how Jesus continues his ministry through the Church today. This message calls us to lay down a powerless version of faith, raise our expectations and learn to pray with compassion, courage and trust.If you have ever wondered how healing fits into everyday discipleship, this teaching will help you step toward a bigger and more hopeful view of what life with Jesus can look like.

What does real devotion look like in a world built around comfort and convenience? In this message, Pastor Darren looks at Acts 2:42–47 and shows us a picture of the first church. It was a community of people devoted to Jesus, devoted to one another, and devoted to His mission.So much of faith today can become about consuming spiritual content, showing up to events, or chasing comfort. But the call of Jesus is different. He invites us to be all in. To live in a way that reflects heaven on earth. To be a people shaped by Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and committed to love.This teaching will help you see what the church was meant to be and how to live with wholehearted devotion in an age of consumerism.

Abiding in Jesus is more than belief; it is a relationship that transforms us. In John 15:5–11, Jesus calls His followers to remain in His love, obey His commands, and bear fruit that glorifies the Father. Fruit takes time to grow, but obedience rooted in love produces lasting joy. In this message, Pastor Darren reminds us that God is not transactional; He is relational. Obedience is not the means to salvation, but the evidence of it. When we remain in Christ, we experience His deep love, reflect His character, and discover that radical obedience leads to radical joy. Are you striving on your own or remaining in His love?

Paul's insistence that the Gospel News is for everyone, challenges our own perception of who "qualifies" as a follower of Jesus and who does not.

Paul emphasizes that his salvation faith was accomplished only by the power and initiative of Jesus. Nothing more needed to be added or changed. Pastor Darren emphasizes that if Saul/ Paul could be changed, no one on earth is beyond redemption by the power of Jesus Christ.
Many followers of Jesus live with a faith that feels powerless. We settle for behavior management, curated church experiences, and good ideas rather than stepping into the life Jesus promised. But the book of Acts tells a different story. Ordinary men and women were filled with the Holy Spirit and became powerful witnesses of the risen Jesus.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks Acts 1:8 and teaches on what it means to receive and grow in the power of the Holy Spirit. Power is not about hype or performance. It is the Spirit's presence enabling us to live transformed lives, proclaim the gospel, heal the sick, and partner with God's mission in the world.If you've ever wondered why your faith feels empty or how to experience more of God's presence and power, this teaching will give you a framework for stepping into it.

Jesus' final words set the tone for everything that follows in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8, He promises power through the Holy Spirit and calls His followers to be His witnesses. Ordinary people are invited to live lives that point to Him in every place, from the familiar to the farthest ends of the earth.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks what it truly means to be a witness. It is not about consumer Christianity or simply sharing information. It is about embodying the reality of the risen Christ. Our lives, our communities, and our everyday choices become a testimony that Jesus is alive.This is the mission every Christian is called into: to live empowered by the Spirit, reflect Jesus to the world, and join God's story of renewal.

What was the primary message of Jesus? The answer might surprise you. His focus was not just love or good works but the Kingdom of God. In this message, Pastor Darren teaches what Jesus actually came to do: proclaim the Kingdom of God, heal the sick, cast out demons, and invite ordinary people to live in God's presence.The Kingdom is not only a concept to learn about. It is a reality to be experienced. Darren shows how trying to explain it without experiencing it is like trying to describe a song you have never heard. Once you encounter it for yourself, it rearranges your whole life.If you are searching for what it really means to follow Jesus, to understand the mission of the early church in the book of Acts, or to experience God's power today, this message will give you clarity and a fresh invitation. The Kingdom is here. Jesus is alive. And He is still doing what He has always done.

This is the final teaching in our Revelation series. Pastor Darren walks through the last chapter of the Bible and shows how it's not just a closing word. It's a call to live differently now.Revelation doesn't point us to escape. It points us to Jesus. The time is near doesn't mean countdown clocks. It means Jesus is already on the move. The question is: are we living like it?This teaching gives clear ways to respond:▪ Burn the bridges back to comfort and compromise▪ Live like heaven has already started▪ Step into your everyday life with courage, love, and urgency▪ Carry the name of Jesus into dark places▪ Stay awake, stay faithful, and keep saying yesJesus is present. He's coming. And he's inviting us to live like it.Come, Lord Jesus.
In this teaching from our Revelation series, Pastor Darren unpacks one of the most sobering and hope-filled moments in scripture: the final judgment.

It's a clear, urgent call to consider where your life is headed, who you trust, and what eternity actually means for the way you live today. Pastor Darren breaks down what scripture really says about death, judgment, hell, and the book of life while reminding us that grace is never earned, only received.If you've ever wrestled with the idea of a just God in a broken world or wondered how the story of Revelation shapes the choices you make now, this is a message you need to hear.

In Part 3 of We Need to Talk, Pastor Darren brought a powerful word about relationships and identity. He reminded us that the first step to finding the right person isn't about looking outward—it's about looking inward. The best way to find “the one” is to become the one. That means allowing God to transform your thinking, unfollowing your heart when it leads you away from His truth, and focusing more on the One who makes you worth having.

This week, Pastor Darren continues our Revelation series by exploring chapters 14 and 15, painting a vivid picture of what it means to stand with the Lamb in the end and how that shapes who we are today. In a world full of fear, pressure, and compromise, the call isn't to strive harder or prove yourself. Instead, it's to be marked by Jesus, shaped by His mercy and truth, and transformed into people who reflect His character. Worship isn't just something we do. It's the way God forms us, rewrites our stories, and leads us through the refining fire to live with confidence and purpose in the midst of cultural pressures.

Send us a textDeath couldn't hold Him. The grave couldn't keep Him. The resurrection of Jesus changed everything.In this episode, we are joined by Pastor Darren as we walk through the final week of Jesus's earthly ministry—from His triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to His glorious resurrection. Together, we unpack the profound significance behind each day's events and how they perfectly fulfilled God's redemptive plan.Through our conversation, we explore the contradictions and tensions that filled that momentous week: crowds who shouted "Hosanna" on Sunday but "Crucify Him" by Friday; religious leaders who claimed to know Scripture yet rejected their Messiah; and disciples who pledged loyalty yet scattered in fear. These human responses mirror our own struggles to fully embrace Christ's mission. Tune in to Unsexy Church for a sneak peek on what is to come this Resurrection Sunday!
