In this powerful message, The Attack of Temptation, we explore how temptation works, why it comes without warning, and how it can either destroy us or strengthen us. Using the story of Job and the words of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer, we learn that temptation is not only a trap — it is also a test designed to grow our faith.

What if the thing holding you back this year isn’t your circumstances—but unforgiveness?

In this message, we explore Jesus’ words in the Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” This teaching challenges us to get honest about sin, release bitterness, and experience the freedom Christ promises.

This episode unpacks what sin really is, why forgiveness matters, and how living in community leads to healing and spiritual growth. If you want to start the year focused, free, and grounded in truth—this message is for you.

In this message, Pastor Bob Smith teaches from Matthew 6:11 and explores what it truly means to trust God one day at a time.

Is Christmas just tradition — or is it truth?

In this message, Pastor K Paul presents The Case for Christmas, showing that the birth of Jesus is not a myth or fairytale, but a historically grounded, prophetically fulfilled, and life-changing reality.

Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, archaeological discoveries, fulfilled prophecy, and real-life transformation stories — including Lee Strobel’s journey from skeptic to believer — this message challenges listeners to take Christmas (and Christ) seriously.

From the manger to the cross and the empty tomb, discover why Christmas is the beginning of the greatest story ever told — and why it still changes lives today.

In this message from our Live Focused series, Pastor K. Paul explores what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”

We’re reminded that two kingdoms are constantly competing for our allegiance—the kingdom of self and the kingdom of God. While living for ourselves may feel natural, it often leads to anxiety and emptiness. Living for God’s kingdom, though it may feel risky, leads to freedom, peace, and lasting purpose.

This sermon challenges us to examine where our true allegiance lies and invites us to trust God’s will—even in seasons of suffering, loss, and uncertainty.

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9–10

This week, Pastor K. Paul continues our “Live Focused” series by diving into the first words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven.”

In this message, we discover how these two words settle five major relationships in our lives: the unseen world, the seen world, our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with God.

Through powerful encouragement and practical teaching, we’re invited to step into a prayer life that brings peace, purpose, and alignment with God’s will.
If you’ve ever struggled to focus in a distracted world, this message will help anchor your heart in the love of the Father.

Primary Text: Matthew 6:5–8
In a world engineered for distraction, Jesus calls us to prayer that is simple, sincere, and intimate — prayer that forms us, transforms us, and anchors us in God’s presence.

Teaching from 2 Corinthians 9:6–8, Pastor K.Paul challenges us to live with joyful generosity, knowing God multiplies what we offer Him.

Through stories of baptism, partnerships with local churches, and powerful statistics from Fort Wayne city leaders, we see how spiritual seeds can transform neighborhoods, families, and entire communities.

Our city is the field. Our faith is the seed. And God promises that those who sow generously will reap generously.

Come be part of what God is doing in and through Avalon Missionary Church.
