You’re Not Too Broken for Jesus

Date: October 12, 2025 | Speaker:

So often we allow out worst failures, fears and scars of the past to define who we are and convince us that we’re too broken or too far gone for help. Yet Jesus doesn’t recoil from our mess; He steps into it with compassion and mercy, reminding us that grace is not for those who appear perfect, but for those who know they’re not. In Him, the untouchable becomes clean, the paralyzed soul walks again, and the outcast finds a home. He’s not waiting for you to be cleaned up or strong enough; He’s inviting you to bring every unhealed part of yourself to Him so He can make you truly whole.

Authority That Shakes the Darkness

Date: October 5, 2025 | Speaker:

Our world is ravaged by sin and filled with broken people as far as the eye can see. Some days it feels like the kingdom of darkness is winning. But our hope stands firm in knowing that the same Jesus who healed diseases, calmed storms, and silenced evil spirits will come again to finish what He started. His displays of power on this earth were only a preview of the day when He will return to vanquish sin & darkness forever. The One who cast out demons will cast out Satan himself. The hands that restored the sick will make all things new!

Follow Me: The Call That Changes Everything

Date: September 28, 2025 | Speaker:

When you open your heart and really listen to the words “Follow Me,” you realize Jesus isn’t merely asking you to add more religious activities to your existing priorities and plans. He’s calling you to reorganize your entire existence around His lordship and His purposes so that He becomes your focus. Yes, surrender has a cost — old ways abandoned, priorities redefined, identities reshaped. But in exchange, you’ll discover purpose and joy that no other path can give, and you’ll be transformed by His grace into something you could never become on your own! So, are you simply wearing the “Christian” label, or are you an actual follower of Christ?

God’s Grace Isn’t Just for You

Date: August 3, 2025 | Speaker:

We like to imagine ourselves in a better moral category than the “worst” sinners, but God’s grace levels the field, shattering every self-made hierarchy and leaving only two groups: those who believe in Jesus and those who refuse. His promise—“whoever believes will be saved”—throws the door wide open, offering grace equally to you and to the one you’d least expect. In the end, we are all in need of God’s mercy, unable to justify ourselves by comparing our sins to others, and saved only by the gift of His Son.

Stop Trying to Be Good Enough!

Date: July 13, 2025 | Speaker:

When Jesus turned water into wine, He intentionally chose the clay jars reserved exclusively for ceremonial washing—symbols of human effort to achieve purity. But instead of water, He filled them with wine, pointing to His blood, which is the only thing that can truly cleanse us. Are you still trying to make yourself right with God through church attendance, giving to charity, or being a good person? No amount of effort can save you. Faith alone in His shed blood can wash away your sins. It’s time to stop your endless striving and simply put your faith in Jesus. He is the only One who can make you clean.

Staying True When it Costs Everything

Date: June 15, 2025 | Speaker:

We all face times of testing when doing what’s right costs more than we imagined, and compromising the truth looks like the easy way out. But these aren’t accidents; they’re proving grounds. When Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted by the devil, He didn’t waver or despair. He stood His ground, anchored in the solid truth of God’s Word. You, too, will be led into the wilderness. And there, stripped of comfort and clarity, what you truly believe will surface. The question isn’t if you’ll be tempted, but whether you’ll hold fast to the Word when it matters most. Because in the wilderness, your identity isn’t proven by performance, but by trusting who God is.

Jesus’ Baptism: Anointed by the Spirit

Date: June 8, 2025 | Speaker:

Though sinless and in no need of repentance, Jesus insisted on being baptized to identify with us, the broken and guilty. He waded into our mess, not to excuse our sin, but loving us enough to meet us in it. The Holy Spirit descended, anointing Him with divine power for the mission ahead. If the perfect, holy, Son of God refused to function without the Spirit, do we actually think we can? So, the real question is, are you relying on your own strength, or desperately depending on the Holy Spirit? You weren’t made to muscle your way through this life. You were made to walk as Jesus walked: surrendered, empowered, and led by the Spirit.

Jesus’ Baptism: Affirmed by the Father

Date: June 1, 2025 | Speaker:

Why was Jesus baptized, even though He had no sin to repent of? First, it marked the beginning of His public ministry and vividly foreshadowed how it would end—with His death, burial, and resurrection. Second, it was God’s public affirmation that Jesus is “the Son of God,” a title reserved for the promised Messiah. This was no ordinary baptism. It was a line drawn in the sand for every watching eye, every questioning heart, and every doubting demon that the Messiah now stood in their midst. Some fell down in worship. Others clenched their fists in rage. Jesus’ baptism was both a declaration and a commitment, setting Him on an unshakable path to the cross, where the symbolic He enacted would become the brutal and beautiful reality that sets every captive free!

Why Good People Need to Repent

Date: May 25, 2025 | Speaker:

When John the Baptist appeared on the scene preaching a fiery message of repentance, the religious elite bristled at the idea that they needed cleansing. Confident in their own goodness, they saw no need for heart change. But John’s words pierced their polished exterior, exposing unclean hearts that no amount of religious performance could cleanse. And his message still confronts us today, challenging our instinct to justify ourselves rather than repent. No matter how much good we think we’ve done, the truth remains: we must all repent before God. Are you still relying on your efforts or reputation to get to heaven?

Where is Your Road Taking You?

Date: April 9, 2023 | Speaker:

Have you ever been making good time on a trip, but didn’t realize you were on the wrong road? That’s not a big problem when you’re in a car, but if you’re on the wrong road of life it will have eternal consequences. When it comes to life, remember this — what determines your destination tomorrow ‌is the direction you choose to go in today. We’re all on a road to somewhere, and one day that road will come to an end. You will either find yourself exactly where you wanted to end up, or you’ll be somewhere you never intended to go. Your eternal destiny is in the balance. So, where are your choices taking you?

Faith > Fear

Date: April 2, 2023 | Speaker:

In Mark’s account of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, Mark records four questions. One question was a result of fear, two questions were to challenge why we fear, and one question was to remind us why we don’t have to fear. Life can be difficult and God often allows things into our life that we may not understand. However, these four questions remind us that Jesus is in control and and therefore we don’t have to fear because we can have faith in Him.

The Touch of the Savior

Date: January 29, 2023 | Speaker:

Jesus’ healing of the leper was an amazing display of Jesus’ power. It was also a beautiful reminder of Jesus’ love and what we have in Him. Life is full of difficulties and it often leaves us feeling alone, hurt, and like no one cares. However we are reminded that we serve a Savior who cares about our every need and we serve Savior who can restore our every longing. Are you looking to Him today?
