  • You Were Created to Flourish | A Biblical Path to Spiritual Growth

    You Were Created to Flourish | A Biblical Path to Spiritual Growth
    Jan 4 2026
    What does it actually mean to grow as a Christian? In Part 1 of our new sermon series Growth: The Work of God, we begin at the very beginning — with seeds. Using Jesus’ Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13, this message explores how spiritual growth starts, why it sometimes stalls, and what it takes to flourish in Christ no matter the season. From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ, Scripture reveals that God is a God of planting, cultivating, and multiplying life. While salvation is a gift, growth is intentional — and the condition of the soil matters. In this message, you’ll discover: Why every follower of Jesus starts as a seed What prevents spiritual growth from taking root How Jesus restores access to abundant life Why church, Scripture, and prayer are essential for growth How your life was designed to bear fruit that blesses others Whether you’re new to faith, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for decades, this message reminds us that there is always more — more life, more freedom, more flourishing in Christ

  • Mental Health Isn’t a Lack of Faith | A Christian Perspective on Anxiety & Healing

    Mental Health Isn’t a Lack of Faith | A Christian Perspective on Anxiety & Healing
    Dec 28 2025
    Mental health struggles are more common than many of us realize — even in the Church. In this powerful and deeply honest message, “Unmasking Mental Health in the Church,” we confront the harmful myth that strong faith means never struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or neurodivergence. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical wisdom, this sermon invites believers to remove the masks they wear and embrace healing, honesty, and hope in Christ. You’ll hear: • Why mental illness is not a lack of faith • How Scripture speaks to anxiety, weakness, and renewal of the mind • The danger of toxic positivity in Christian spaces • Why prayer and the Bible matter — and why therapy, medication, and community can too • A vulnerable story of late-diagnosed autism and lifelong masking • How God uses our weakness for His glory Whether you’re personally struggling, supporting someone who is, or wondering how faith and mental health intersect, this message offers compassion, truth, and next steps toward healing.

  • Jesus, the Light of the World | Christmas Eve Message

    Jesus, the Light of the World | Christmas Eve Message
    Dec 23 2025
    On Christmas Eve, we celebrate more than lights, traditions, and familiar songs—we celebrate the Light who came into our darkness. In this message from Isaiah 9, we’re reminded that the world has always searched for light in the wrong places: success, possessions, knowledge, relationships, and even religion. But none of those lesser lights can guide us through life’s deepest darkness. The prophet Isaiah declares this powerful promise: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” That light is Jesus—our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This Christmas Eve message invites you to: Reflect on what “lights” you may be following Understand why Jesus is the only true source of hope Step out of darkness and begin walking in the light of Christ No matter where you’re coming from or what season you’re in, Jesus was born to light up your life. 🎄 We pray this message encourages your heart and points you toward the greatest gift ever given.

    What does it really mean that Jesus is Immanuel — God with us? In this Advent message, we explore the powerful promise found in Isaiah 7 and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

  • Why Biblical Joy Doesn’t Depend on Your Circumstances | Advent Week 3

    Why Biblical Joy Doesn’t Depend on Your Circumstances | Advent Week 3
    Dec 14 2025
    What if joy isn’t the result of a better season—but the fuel that carries you through the wilderness? In Advent Part 3: Joy, we explore a deeper, biblical understanding of joy that goes far beyond fleeting happiness or emotional highs. Drawing from Isaiah 35, this message reveals that joy often arrives before circumstances change—because joy is anchored in who God is, not what we see. This sermon reminds us that: Joy is not fragile or circumstantial Joy is not something we manufacture Joy is formed by the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer Joy is an act of rebellion against despair Jesus did not wait for the world to be fixed before entering it. He came into the wilderness—and joy came with Him. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for life to improve before you could breathe again… this message is for you.
