In this week's message from James 3, Pastor Tom challenges us to match our words with our actions. Using vivid examples, he warns of the dangers and power of the tongue—capable of both praising God and harming others. Teachers, in particular, bear a heavier judgment, as words shape lives and eternal destinies. We're reminded that all of us “stumble in many ways” and must speak with humility, sincerity, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The call is clear: live out what you believe, guard your speech, and let your words reflect the life of Christ within you.
In this sermon Pastor Tom walks us through Matthew 22 in the Bible. The post The Teachings of Christ: Matthew 22 appeared first on Atlanta Dream Center Church.

Summary: In this sermon, Pastor Tom reminds you that worship should embrace a childlike exuberance, joyfully involve your whole being, and serve as a powerful means of connection and healing, ultimately demonstrating that singing is a vital expression of your faith and a unifying bond within the community of believers.Series: More Than A SongTitle: Part 6: The Unstoppable SongDate: 7/27/25, 10am, Sunday SermonSpeaker: Pastor Tom Van KempenOutline:00:00 - Grandkids' Joy and Worship01:44 - Youthful Exuberance and Worship04:21 - Worship Involves Our Whole Being06:00 - The Importance of Singing12:20 - Singing As Emotional and Spiritual Healing26:53 - Songs Build Each Other Up38:06 - Unity Through Singing40:23 - Heavenly Worship
What do the Psalms, U2, and honest prayer have in common? In this powerful closing message to our Selah series, Pastor Tom reflects on Psalm 40 and the deeper meaning behind the songs we sing. Drawing from the words of Eugene Peterson and Bono, this message explores how the Psalms hold the tensions of life—joy and sorrow, victory and waiting—with raw honesty and spiritual depth.Through the lens of music, we're reminded that faith isn't a formula to solve, but a song to keep singing—especially when life doesn't go as planned. Whether you're on a high or in the pit, this message invites you to rediscover worship as an authentic expression of where you are and who God is.
Pastor Tom unpacks the final verses of James 2, focusing on Rahab as a surprising but powerful example of saving faith. Through her story, we explore how true faith is not just belief, but a transformation of heart, values, and actions. From a life of idolatry and shame, Rahab's courageous trust in God led to radical obedience and inclusion in Jesus' lineage. With a deep look at the “level ground” at the cross, this message reminds us that no one is beyond God's grace—and that faith, when genuine, always leads to action.
Because of God's steadfast love, we can come to him when we have done wrong and are struggling to find forgiveness and healing.

Live with a Grateful Heart | Pastor Tom Sardella | 7/6/2025 by Redeeming Love Church
Is your faith real? In this week's message, Pastor Tom dives into James 2:12–26, exploring how saving faith is proven through action. Using the powerful example of Abraham's testing, we see that genuine faith matures through trials and is demonstrated by obedience. Pastor Tom clarifies the often-misunderstood tension between James and Paul, showing that works don't earn salvation—but they do vindicate the reality of faith. True faith stands firm under pressure, reveals God's refining work, and grows stronger through testing. Discover how trials expose idols and lead to a deeper, more complete trust in Jesus Christ.
In this powerful message, Pastor Tom dives into James 2:20–24 to explore what it truly means to have saving faith. More than just belief or words, saving faith is a growing, living trust in God—a faith that acts, endures, and rests fully in God's promises. Using Abraham's journey as a guide, Pastor Tom challenges us to examine whether we simply *believe* in God or genuinely *trust* Him with our lives. Are we building our lives on Christ? Do our actions reflect that trust? This week's message will stir your heart to deepen your walk with Jesus
