    When Your Power and Days are Small

    Have you ever felt like your life was too small to matter? Teaching from Zechariah 4:1-14, Pastor Ricky explores the vision of the golden lampstand, revealing how what appears to be a “day of small things” is actually part of God’s grand design, not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit. This message reminds us that when we feel powerless or insignificant, God’s unlimited power is at work, transforming ordinary lives into vessels of His purpose and light.

    A New House, A Fresh Start

    Have you ever felt like you’re working hard at your faith but still missing something deeper? In this message from Haggai 2:10–23, Sal shows how God interrupts the rebuilding of the temple to address a deeper issue—the assumption that religious activity alone can make us clean—revealing how sincere effort can still leave us fundamentally misaligned. This message points us to Jesus, whose holiness uniquely spreads to cleanse sinners and establish an unshakeable kingdom, inviting us to turn from temporary foundations and find true renewal and blessing in Him.

    I Know Why I'm Here

    Have you ever wondered if God has placed you exactly where you are for a purpose? Teaching from Haggai 2:1–9, Pastor Ricky draws from Israel’s temple rebuilding and a bold declaration, “I know why I’m here, God sent me”, to reveal how God’s people can lose sight of their divine mission in specific seasons and places. Through three vital commands to be strong, get to work, and remember God’s presence, this message calls believers to embrace their daily assignments with courage and conviction, trusting the promise, “I am with you.”

    You Build More Than You See

    What does it mean to build something truly significant when our daily work feels like ‘nothing’? In Haggai 2:1-9, Pastor Ricky reveals how God’s people felt discouraged comparing their modest efforts to the former glory of Solomon’s temple, yet God promised that their humble faithfulness would become part of something far greater than they could imagine, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ and His global church.Through Christ, we’re reminded that even what feels ordinary or overlooked is being woven into God’s magnificent plan to build something far more glorious than we can see.

    Flight

    In this message from Haggai 1:12-15, Pastor Ricky explores God’s call for His people to rebuild the temple after years of delay, revealing how divine commands always come with divine enabling. Drawing on the names Yahweh and Elohim—and the image of the Wright brothers discovering lift in seemingly empty air—he shows how God’s presence transforms hesitant obedience into courageous faith, as reverent fear of the Lord becomes the foundation for action. Whether starting something new or stopping something old, this message reminds us that God never calls us to step out in faith without also promising, ‘I am with you,’ supplying the power to move from ‘not yet’ to ‘yes, today.’

    What Are You Building?

    In this message from Haggai 1:1-11, Pastor Ricky challenges us to examine what we’re truly building with our lives as he revisits Israel’s decision to prioritize their own comfort while neglecting God’s house. Through this ancient story, we see how our modern pursuits for security, achievement, and temporary satisfaction can mirror misplaced priorities, even as God graciously calls His people back to build what truly lasts. This message reminds us that through Christ—the true temple—we are being built together into God’s spiritual house, inviting us to join His redemptive work and invest our lives in an eternal legacy of relationship, mission, and purpose.

    How to Grow For Sure in the New Year

    Have you ever wondered what real transformation looks like in 2026? Pastor Ricky reveals how Romans 12 flips our resolutions upside down—it's not about trying harder alone, but being transformed through gospel identity and Christian community. Through engaging insights from research and Scripture, he shows how three surprisingly simple practices—open tables, open Bibles, and open lives—create lasting change. His message inspires us to move beyond surface-level resolutions to experience deep spiritual growth through God's mercy and authentic relationships.

    The Morning & Evening Psalms

    Have you ever felt the weight of life’s anxieties stealing your peace? Teaching through Psalms 4 and 5, Stephen unpacks how David faced his own ‘Sunday scaries’ by establishing intentional morning and evening rhythms that replaced stress and uncertainty with trust in God’s presence. Drawing from both David’s example and his own military experience, Stephen shows that true peace comes not from self-help, but from making God’s Word our guide and prayer our daily compass as we learn to expect God’s presence and find rest in His provision and purpose.
