  1. He must increase, I must decrease

    قبل يومين

    He must increase, I must decrease

    This weeks message invites us into a profound truth: Jesus is the light that pierces through every darkness in our lives. We're reminded that while John the Baptist came to bear witness to the light, Jesus himself is the true light that illuminates every person who comes into the world. The message challenges us to examine whether Christ is truly increasing in our lives while we decrease, as John the Baptist declared he must. Are we drawing closer to Jesus through prayer, Bible reading, and fellowship with other believers, or are we allowing other pursuits to take His place? The sermon confronts us with the reality that there are only two fathers in this world—God Almighty and the devil—and we must choose which family we belong to. This isn't about being born into God's family automatically; it's about becoming children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. The call is clear: we need Jesus to be the preeminent thing in our lives, not just another priority among many. When people look at us, do they see Jesus increasing and ourselves decreasing? This question should drive us to deeper dependence on Christ every single day.

  2. Creation

    ٨ فبراير

    Creation

    At the heart of this message lies a profound truth from John's Gospel: 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' We're invited to explore the magnificent reality that Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things, the source of life itself, and the light that shines in our darkness. This isn't just theological theory—it's the foundation of everything we believe. The message challenges us to confront the cultural narratives around evolution and naturalism, reminding us that Scripture doesn't argue for God's existence; it simply declares it. What makes this particularly compelling is the emphasis on reading our Bibles daily, even just five or ten minutes, because that's how we hear God's voice. Without opening Scripture, we're essentially slamming the door in God's face. The central question we must all answer is this: where will we find life? The answer is clear—only in Jesus, because He alone possesses it. This isn't about religion or good works; it's about recognizing that our sin requires a payment, and Jesus paid it in full on the cross. When He said 'It is finished,' He meant it. We're challenged to stop trying to earn our salvation through church attendance or moral behavior and simply receive the free gift of eternal life by calling on the name of the Lord. The urgency is real, the choice is ours, and the invitation remains open.

  3. Hyper Hypocrites

    ١ فبراير

    Hyper Hypocrites

    This weeks message confronts us with one of Jesus' most challenging teachings from Matthew 7:1-6—the command to stop judging others. We're challenged to examine whether we've become 'hyper-hypocrites,' constantly critiquing the specks in our brothers' and sisters' eyes while ignoring the logs in our own. The central spiritual lesson revolves around Romans 8:29, which calls us to be conformed to the image of Christ rather than conforming to worldly standards or our own self-righteous measurements. The imagery is striking: we're like spiritual bodybuilders who focus only on our 'beach muscles'—the parts that look good externally—while neglecting the deeper, harder work of heart transformation. When we fixate our eyes on Jesus and pursue His righteousness as Matthew 6:33 commands, we become too busy with our own spiritual growth to be nosy in others' backyards. The story of the woman caught in adultery reminds us that Jesus, who had every right to judge, instead turned the mirror back on the accusers. This message isn't about condemnation but about recognizing that our judgment of others often stems from pride and our own unaddressed heart issues. We use judgment as spiritual ADHD—hyperactively focusing on others to avoid the painful but necessary work of allowing God to refine us in the fire. The pathway forward is clear: seek first the kingdom, allow the Holy Spirit to convict us of our own unrighteousness, and embrace the uncomfortable process of being conformed to Christ's image, one isolated issue at a time.

  4. Trust

    ٢٥ يناير

    Trust

    At the heart of this powerful teaching lies a profound question: who holds the pen in our life's story? Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34, we're confronted with Jesus' radical command to not be anxious about our lives—what we'll eat, drink, or wear. But this isn't just about managing worry; it's about wrestling with control. The sermon unpacks how anxiety reveals a divided heart, one that tries to serve both God and gain simultaneously. Through the vivid analogy of standing as an infant in a father's palm versus sitting strapped into a roller coaster, we discover that trust isn't about the absence of unknown circumstances—it's about knowing the source who holds us. The passage challenges our American Christian tendency to replace trust in God with confidence in our own hard work and ability to manipulate outcomes. When we grasp for control over the physical and material aspects of life, we miss the spiritual freedom that comes from open hands. The practical pathway forward? Seek first the kingdom. Replace anxious thoughts with whatever is true, honorable, just, and pure. Practice thanksgiving even in chaos. This isn't a message that denies anxiety will come; rather, it equips us with a battle plan rooted in Philippians 4—prayer, supplication, thanksgiving, and the intentional reshaping of our thought patterns. The invitation is clear: stop being the hero of your own story and become a participant in God's greater narrative.

  5. Comprehensive Community

    Comprehensive Community

    What if the greatest mission field we've been given isn't out there in the world, but right here among the people we worship with every Sunday? This powerful exploration of Romans 12 and John 17 reveals a stunning truth: our unity as believers isn't just a nice bonus to our faith—it's the very thing that makes Jesus known to the world. We're challenged to see ourselves not as individual Christians on separate journeys, but as one body with a collective mission that's far greater than any of us alone. The sermon draws a compelling parallel between CPR certification and Christian community—just as first responders practice life-saving techniques on dummies so they're ready for real emergencies, we practice loving, forgiving, and serving one another in the church so we're prepared to demonstrate Christ's love to a watching world. The most convicting insight? Jesus prayed that we would be 'perfectly one' not for our own benefit, but 'so that the world may know' He was sent by the Father. Our relationships with fellow believers are actually our witness. When we lay down our pride, choose humility over being right, and love sacrificially even when it's inconvenient, we're not just being nice—we're participating in God's rescue mission for humanity. The fifty-nine 'one another' commands scattered throughout the New Testament aren't suggestions; they're our comprehensive guide for creating the kind of otherworldly community that makes people stop and ask what makes us different.

  6. Who Cannot Get Saved?

    ١١ يناير

    Who Cannot Get Saved?

    This week we confront a question that haunts many hearts: Is anyone too far gone to be saved? Drawing from Romans 5:6-11, we're reminded of an astonishing truth—Christ didn't die for the righteous or the cleaned-up versions of ourselves. He died for the ungodly, for sinners, for His enemies. The sermon walks us through remarkable biblical examples that shatter our preconceptions about who deserves salvation. We meet the woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus refused to condemn. We encounter Paul, the self-proclaimed chief of sinners who murdered Christians before becoming the author of thirteen books of Scripture. We see the prostitute who washed Jesus's feet with her tears, receiving forgiveness for her many sins. The message extends beyond ancient examples to modern testimonies—David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer, and Jeffrey Dahmer, both finding redemption in prison. The central revelation is this: our salvation isn't based on our worthiness but on Christ's payment. The cross covered all sin, leaving no one excluded from God's offer of grace. This challenges us to examine whether we're sharing this liberating truth with others or hiding our faith. Are we ashamed of the gospel that saved us? The call is clear—if God can save the worst of sinners, He can save anyone, and we have the privilege of carrying that message to a world desperately needing hope.

  7. Becoming One

    Becoming One

    What does it truly mean to be united as believers? This powerful message takes us deep into Acts 2:42-47, where we discover the early church's secret to transformative community. We're challenged to move beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace an 'intense sense of togetherness' that characterized the first disciples. The passage reveals four essential devotions: to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to breaking bread, and to prayers. These aren't merely religious activities—they're the foundation for becoming one body with one focus. We're reminded that our natural inclination is toward isolation, even when we're physically together. How often do we sit in the same room with family or fellow believers, yet remain emotionally and spiritually disconnected? The message confronts our tendency to quit when relationships become difficult, challenging us to see that hard relationships are often God's tool for molding us into Christ-likeness. Perhaps most convicting is the call to examine whether we're truly devoted to unity or just going through the motions. When we devote ourselves to these four pillars with the same attention we'd give a crying infant—constant, selfless, and focused—something miraculous happens: the Lord adds to our number daily those who are being saved. This isn't about programs or strategies; it's about authentic unity that makes the world believe God sent His Son.

  8. Lost in Translation

    ٢٨‏/١٢‏/٢٠٢٥

    Lost in Translation

    From the very first pages of Scripture, we discover something profound: God never intended for us to be alone. In Genesis 1:26, we encounter God in divine community—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—declaring 'Let us make man in our image.' This plural language reveals that togetherness isn't just a nice idea; it's woven into the fabric of creation itself. When God looks at everything He made and declares it 'very good,' there's one exception that stands out: 'It is not good that man should be alone.' This message takes us back to the garden to rediscover what we've lost in translation over centuries of cultural drift and sin. We see Adam and Eve living in complete transparency—naked and unashamed—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. This original design shows us that vulnerability creates peace, that transparency builds trust, and that authentic community reflects the very nature of the Trinity. But then comes the fall, and with it, humanity's first instinct: to hide, to cover up, to isolate. Fear entered the equation, and we've been running from true community ever since. Yet even in that moment, God pursues. He asks 'Where are you?'—not because He doesn't know, but because His heart has always been to restore us to togetherness. The call for us today is clear: step out of isolation, lay down the fig leaves we use to protect ourselves, and embrace the vulnerable, Christ-centered community God designed from the beginning.
