Salt & Light: Your Identity in a Decaying World

Date: November 30, 2025 | Speaker:

You carry within you something the world desperately needs. Like salt preventing decay, your commitment to God’s truth holds back the spread of moral rot in a culture drifting toward collapse. And like light piercing the night, a life lived openly for Christ provides direction for those stumbling in confusion and deception. As a follower of Christ, your very presence makes a difference in this world. Will you stand where God placed you, trusting that your faithfulness might be the lifeline that preserves others and guides them to salvation?

Coming to the End of Yourself

Date: November 9, 2025 | Speaker:

You’ve worked tirelessly to control life, earn approval, and construct your own version of happiness, but now you find yourself surrounded by all your exhausted attempts, realizing that you’ve come to the end of yourself. Congratulations! This is the moment that real change can happen. The kingdom of God isn’t for the proud or self-reliant, but for those willing to admit their own spiritual bankruptcy. True blessing, it turns out, is found when you’re empty of yourself and finally have room for Him.

Confronting Dead Religion

Date: July 20, 2025 | Speaker:

It’s deceptively easy to let our walk with Christ slip into autopilot—showing up at church, tossing some money in the plate, trying to look the part—while our hearts drift further from Him. In Jesus’ day, the religious elite had reduced temple worship to a mere transaction. Sacred space became marketplace noise. So Jesus made a whip and drove them out, declaring they had desecrated His Father’s house. But now we are the temple, and every day our choices reveal who truly reigns in our hearts. So ask yourself—what tables need overturning in your life? What clutter needs clearing so worship can be real again? What would it look like to love Him not just with your lips, but with your life?

Undeniable Design: The Fingerprints of Jesus

Date: January 26, 2025 | Speaker:

When you pause to consider the intricate complexity of creation, you’re faced with the reality that every detail, no matter how small, gives evidence of a Designer. From the mathematical precision of the galaxies to the astonishing arrangement of human DNA, creation reveals something far greater than random chance—an intentional, loving intelligence that crafted every molecule with purpose. Yet, the most awe-inspiring truth of all is this: the Creator who spoke stars into existence and orchestrated the dance of electrons stepped into human history, took on flesh, and willingly died for your sins so that you could be forgiven and have eternal life. This revelation doesn’t just shift our perspective; it redefines the very purpose of our existence, anchoring our lives in a hope that stretches far beyond the limits of this world.

The Transforming Power of Thankfulness

Date: December 1, 2024 | Speaker:

What if the very thing you’re holding onto—your fear, your pain, your sense of lack—is the one thing keeping you from God’s best? You may be quick to thank God for your blessings, but what about your battles? Jesus gave thanks for a handful of loaves and fish before they became a feast. He gave thanks the night He was betrayed, knowing agony lay ahead. Gratitude, even for the hard things, doesn’t deny the difficulty; it declares God’s power over it. It loosens the grip of anxiety, frees you from despair, and opens the door for God to transform you in ways beyond your imagination. Will you dare to trust Him and give thanks, even in the midst of your struggles?

Trust in His timing and sovereignty, knowing that even in the darkest moments, He is at work, weaving together His perfect plan.

From Prayer to Action: The Path of Obedience

Date: August 4, 2024 | Speaker:

At times, we all face challenges so immense that they drive us to our knees. Seeking the Lord in prayer is always the best place to begin, but prayer without action is not obedience. Once we have committed the situation to God, we must then step out in faith and obey what He has called us to do. This step of obedience often leads us into the unknown, and that’s when we must remain keenly attuned to His still, small voice guiding us along the way. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, stepping out, or listening for God’s direction, trust Him with the outcome, knowing that He is orchestrating every detail for His glory and your good.

Discover how staying close to God’s Word can help you overcome attacks, despondency, and spiritual decline. If you’ve grown weary in your journey, find encouragement in His Word today. It will guide, strengthen, and empower you to carry on, even in the most challenging of times.

The Cost of God’s Enduring Grace

Date: February 11, 2024 | Speaker:

If you ever feel like God is being unfair or that His judgments are too harsh, just remember the enduring patience and boundless love He extended to His rebellious people for 390 years! Today’s sermon reveals the unimaginable lengths God goes to in order to call His people back to Himself, even amidst their defiance. The fact is that God has patiently endured humanity’s betrayal for centuries, and He is still extending His patience to us today. God’s grace outlasts our sin, offering redemption and restoration to all who turn to Him.

Beyond Your Abilities: Finding Strength in God’s Spirit

Date: February 4, 2024 | Speaker:

Have you ever been prompted by God to do something so daunting or beyond your abilities that it left you paralyzed in fear? Maybe it was an invitation to teach your first Sunday School class, share your faith with an unfriendly neighbor, or go on a mission trip to a dangerous land. Even though you may feel incapable, don’t spend one more day hesitating! God has promised to empower you for whatever He calls you to do, regardless of the challenges you may face. God gave Ezekiel a task that terrified him, but his response challenges us to find strength in God’s Spirit and trust in His ultimate plan, no matter how overwhelming it may seem. Remember, the same God who empowered Ezekiel will empower you!

Giving Thanks When Life Is Hard

Date: November 26, 2023 | Speaker:

Ever find it challenging to muster gratitude when life throws you curveballs? The Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances, but the only way that’s possible is when we realize that thankfulness is a choice, not a mood or a feeling. This isn’t about denying hardships; it’s about embracing a perspective that transcends them. You can discover the power of cultivating a heart of gratitude, not just when life is smooth sailing, but especially when the storm clouds gather. Learn how giving thanks, even when it seems counterintuitive, can anchor your faith and redirect your focus from the struggles to the sovereignty of a loving God.
