None of us really have this thing called life figured out. Don't we all need someone to help us? Pastor Sam uses the remembrance of Jesus's sacrifice on Good Friday to explain how he paid our debts so we might have life to the full. Speaker: Sam Mills Publication: April 18, 2025

What does triumph really mean? As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds celebrated a king they thought would conquer their enemies—but they missed the deeper battle He came to fight. In this message from John 12, we explore how easily we mistake quick wins for true victory, and how our desire to control the process can blind us to what Jesus is actually doing. As we begin Holy Week, we're invited to reflect on where we might be resisting His way of triumph—through surrender, not dominance.

Ever cringe at someone's over-the-top joy—like dancing in church or playing guitar with their toes? Pastor Sam Grosso unpacks David's bold worship in 2 Samuel and how joy isn't a feeling, but a choice—to joy in response to God's presence. David's joy drew judgment, but he wasn't ashamed, and neither should we be. This message challenges you to move from watching to joining. What is your posture saying about the God you serve?

Pastor Sam
True friendship is more than just companionship—it's a biblical calling. In this message, Pastor Sam Grosso unpacks philia love, the kind of deep, brotherly connection that Scripture calls us to. Many struggle with loneliness, toxic friendships, or self-centered relationships, but Jesus commands us to love one another in a way that reflects Him (John 13:34-35). We'll explore what it means to be a Christ-centered friend, the dangers of selfishness, and why real friendship requires sacrifice. Don't miss this powerful teaching on how biblical love transforms the way we invest in others.

Title: A SicknessSpeaker: Sam CasseseSeries: Relentless Grace: The Book of JonahPassage: Jonah 4What's the worst sickness you've ever had? Fever, chills, body aches? There's one far worse—one that infects every heart and soul. Jonah had it. We have it. It's not just painful; it's dangerous. It warps our vision, twists our hearts, and poisons our joy. And if left untreated, it will consume us. This Sunday, we'll expose the sickness and discover the only cure strong enough to heal it. Pastor Sam refers to an article at the end of his sermon. You'll find that article here: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/forgive-offender-repent/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJKUlpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYmflI4nGSTKcIcGLxtHKpvpE4hJRA4ApH6wNt0oqpE-1Cvzw90K0UTPBg_aem_hyOq6qG4TpbY8fGVJRb3Zg

Join Lead Pastor Sam Grosso as he unpacks the true meaning of love according to Scripture. 1 John 4:7-12 and 1 Corinthians 13 reveal that love is more than a feeling—it's a reflection of God's character. We cannot truly know God without embracing His love, and we cannot stay in His love without extending it to others. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we see the ultimate example of love in action. Watch now and discover how to receive and live out God's limitless love!

Let's commit to seeking God everyday, enabling us to receive the spiritual authority he's given us! ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn this message, Pastor Sam Muyaka teaches us that breakthroughs happen when we commit privately to prayer, serving, worship, and scripture.

2025 March 2nd - 9:30am Generations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School
In this message, we dive into what it means to be in the world but not of it, exploring Jesus' call not just to have faith in Him, but to live with the faith of Him. We'll unpack how kingdom living doesn't exempt us from pain—but it does give us a way through it.

Pastor Sam shares from Acts chapter 4. In this message, we explore an account of God's people when confronted with opposition. We begin by identifying when they encountered resistance, followed by why they faced it. Next, we examine how they responded to adversity and, ultimately, why they remained steadfast and refused to compromise.

Can one conversation with a family member really make a difference? Today, Dave interviews his oldest son who has served on staff at two churches overseeing their missions programs and leading people on short-term trips. Sam shares what happened while he and his dad were waiting for a taxi in Thailand and what influenced him as a young boy to serve in ministry and missions. He gives us eight things you can do to mobilize families to the nations and discusses some of the obstacles he's faced over the years too. Here's what Dave asked him: Let's talk about your childhood. What were some of the things you recall that influenced your decision to serve in ministry/missions? How did growing up overseas in Northern Asia impact your future missions involvement? You've served on staff at two churches and oversaw the missions programs at both of them. When it comes to mobilizing families, what are some of the obstacles you've come across? What are some of the strategies you use to increase families' missions involvement? How have you seen short-term mission trips impact those who have participated? How have you been involved in your church's missions committee?
What if your work—no matter what it is—wasn't just a job, but kingdom work? In this message, we dive into Psalm 90:17 and Jesus' parable in Luke 16 to uncover the purpose behind all work and how God establishes the work of our hands. Too often, we separate "secular" work from "ministry" work, but the truth is, anything done with faithfulness and excellence can be kingdom work.

Fear and faith shape how we live—one leads to worry, the other to trust in God's plan. In this message, Pastor Sam Grosso unpacks Jesus' teaching on mustard seed faith, showing how even small faith, when planted in God's will, can grow and move mountains. True faith isn't just belief; it's action—being planted, speaking life, and sharing blessings. Join us as we learn how to live by faith, not fear, and walk in the fullness of God's kingdom.
This sermon examines the significance of time and how it reflects our priorities and values. Through scriptures such as Psalm 84:10-11 and Ephesians 5:14-16, we explore the concept of Kingdom timing and the importance of aligning our schedules with God's purpose. It addresses the pitfalls of a rushed and overcrowded life, the wisdom in numbering our days, and the eternal impact of investing time in the Kingdom. This message offers practical insights into how to prioritize wisely, embrace patience, and make the most of the opportunities God provides.
This Sunday, Pastor Sam Gibson continued our God Comes Where He's Wanted series with a message on cultivating the altar of the Church. Pastor Sam acknowledged there is often pain and hopelessness tied to conversations about the Church today, while offering a hopeful vision of restoring corporate spaces of seeking God through tearing down false altars, building up spaces for God's presence, and tending to those spaces as unified bodies of believers.
