Sermons about Life

The End of Your Empty Pursuits

Date: September 7, 2025 | Speaker:

You’ve been chasing fulfillment for as long as you can remember, through career wins, relationships, pleasure, approval, yet the thirst inside you lingers. It’s like drinking from a stagnant pond, hoping it will refresh you, only to end up emptier than before. And then Jesus steps in. Not with another quick fix or self-improvement plan, but with Himself—the Living Water. This isn’t about religion or rituals. It’s about genuine, abundant life rising up within you and spilling over to others. He’s inviting you to abandon the empty wells, quit reaching for substitutes, and receive the only water that can finally satisfy your soul.

Children of Light: Life vs. Death – Part 1

Date: June 29, 2025 | Speaker:

From the very beginning of creation, God desired to bring forth life out of darkness, so He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. This separation is representative of two opposing kingdoms; one to which His children belong, and one to which His enemies belong. Scripture tells us that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him, and those who belong to Him are children of light. Join us as we look at some of the attributes of each kingdom, and the separating choices each person will face as a reflection of the kingdom to which they choose to belong.

The Quiet Power of a Life with God

Date: May 18, 2025 | Speaker:

The story of Jesus’ early life reminds us that who you become matters far more than what you achieve. For nearly thirty years, Jesus lived in obscurity—no miracles, no sermons, just ordinary life in a small town. And yet, Scripture tells us those were the years when He grew in wisdom, strength of spirit, and in favor with God and man. Could it be that God values the mundane more than we do; that He does His deepest work in the silence, not in the spotlight? In a world obsessed with visibility, Jesus shows us that real spiritual growth happens in the shadows—in ordinary obedience, unseen faithfulness, and steady intimacy with the Father. Your greatest growth won’t occur in what you do, but in how deeply you abide in Him.

Having Faith When You Don’t Have Answers

Date: March 23, 2025 | Speaker:

Life has a way of unraveling our certainties, doesn’t it? One moment, we think we’ve got it all figured out—our plans, our relationships, our future—and the next, it slips through our fingers like sand. Mary and Joseph were two ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances—her, a teenage girl pregnant with a miracle she can’t explain; him, a young carpenter wrestling with feelings of betrayal and doubt. Yet even in their time of confusion and trembling faith, God came to them with grace and reassurance. We’ve all experienced long nights of silence and seasons of worry when we whisper, “God, where are you?” Mary and Joseph’s story reminds us that trusting God isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who does. Remember, God is with you in life’s darkest moments, and His faithfulness never wavers!

Divine Interruptions: Trusting God’s Plans

Date: March 16, 2025 | Speaker:

God’s plans often come as interruptions to our carefully constructed lives. Zechariah, a faithful priest, and Mary, a humble teenager had two starkly different responses to divine intrusions. Zechariah, wearied by years of unanswered prayer, struggled to believe God’s promise of a son in his old age. Mary, however, received the unimaginable call to be the mother of the Messiah, yet she responded with awe and surrender. Both were called to trust God in ways that defied human logic. Their stories remind us that faith isn’t about having all the answers but about surrendering to God’s purposes, even when they seem impossible. Are you prepared to let God disrupt your plans? True faith means saying, like Mary, “I am the servant of the Lord, may it be to me according to your word,” and then stepping into the unknown, confident that His ways are always good.

More Than Alive: Finding True Life in Christ

Date: February 9, 2025 | Speaker:

At some point, every person wrestles with life’s deepest questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What happens when I die? Yet, no amount of self-reflection can uncover these answers. Apart from Christ, we may be physically alive, but we remain spiritually dead—separated from the eternal life only He can give. No amount of education, success, or worldly wisdom can illuminate the darkness of our souls. But in His mercy, Christ came as both life and light—not to merely make us better people, but to restore the very life of God that was lost in Eden. When we receive Him by faith, His light shatters our darkness, leading us into true understanding and the unshakable promise of eternal life.

The Answer to Your Deepest Longing

Date: February 2, 2025 | Speaker:

To discover who Jesus truly is, we must start at the beginning, before creation, before time, where we are introduced to Him as the Word—the “Logos.” Ancient philosophers considered the Logos to be the mysterious, unknowable entity that brought order and reason to the universe. But John reveals that the Logos is not merely a concept or a force; it is Jesus, the One who walked among us, who touched the untouchable, and who died to save you from your sin. The meaning of life is not a mystery to be endlessly contemplated, but a Person to be known. Your deepest longing for purpose finds its resolution in Him! The question is no longer whether Jesus is real, but whether you will believe in Him, follow Him, and allow His life to redefine yours.

God May Be Silent, But He is Not Absent!

Date: July 7, 2024 | Speaker:

Does it ever feel like God is absent during life’s chaos? Have you wondered if He is involved in the mundane details of your existence? God often moves in ways we cannot perceive or understand, but always remember that just because God is silent, it does not mean He is absent. The question is, can we trust Him even when we don’t see Him? Our faith is proven in those moments when it seems that God is nowhere to be found. When today looks like just another series of random events, can our eyes of faith see beyond the circumstances, knowing with certainty that God is silently at work in it all?

Our coming Savior is both our Priest and our King—the answer to our desperate need for redemption and righteous rule. Do you lack strength for today’s battles? Do you lack hope for the future?

Persevering When it Seems Pointless

Date: May 19, 2024 | Speaker:

You’ve been laboring diligently for God, but the results don’t seem as impressive as you’d hoped. Maybe your service, your ministry, your attempts to live for God feel small and insignificant compared to others or your own past experiences, leaving you asking, “Was God ever in this? Is He truly with me?” Don’t be discouraged. God has not abandoned you. Even if your efforts for Him seem trivial, they will never be in vain! God can do immeasurably more than you can imagine even through the smallest act of obedience, so remain faithful and leave the results to Him.

God Can Move the Immovable

Date: April 14, 2024 | Speaker:

God can work in surprising ways to accomplish His purposes in your life. Just as He stirred the heart of a pagan king to release the Israelites from exile, God can use unexpected people and circumstances to move on your behalf. Regardless of the opposition or obstacles that stand in your way, take heart knowing that no barrier is too great for our God to overcome! Even what seems like chaos is orchestrated by God’s unseen hand. When problems or discouragement arise, trust in God’s faithfulness and power, knowing that He can do the impossible!
