    Constant Prayer | Jeff White

    Could your biggest prayers still be too small? In this sermon from the series, "Praying Big", Jeff White explores Paul's prayer in 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12 and challenges us to rethink what we ask God for. While our prayers often focus on changing our circumstances, Paul prays that God would transform our character, reshape our desires, and make us fruitful in every good work. Rather than simply asking for relief, we're invited to pray for lives that reflect God's calling and bring Him glory.

    Strong Prayer | Will Anderson

    The strength of your prayers might have nothing to do with the words you use. In this sermon from the series, "Praying Big", Will Anderson explores Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14–19 and shows that the strongest prayers are not marked by impressive words, but by a deep desire to know the love of God. Rather than asking God to simply change our circumstances, Paul prays for inner strength through the Holy Spirit, that Christ would truly make His home in us. This sermon is an invitation to move beyond knowing about God's love and into experiencing the transforming power of it.

    Powerful Prayer | Jeff White

    Belief in God doesn't guarantee nearness to Him. In this sermon from the series, "Praying Big", Jeff White explores Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1:15–23 and what it means to grow in a deeper knowledge of God. While many of us approach prayer with uncertainty, Paul invites us to see it as something far greater: participation in God's ongoing work in the world. This prayer centers on four realities every Christian needs: knowing God more deeply, living with a secure hope, understanding our value to Him, and experiencing the power of the risen Jesus. As our vision of God expands, so does our confidence in prayer.

    Self-Control | Pete Nicholas

    Why do we keep doing the very things we know aren’t good for us? In this sermon from the The Power of Good series, Pete Nicholas explores the meaning of self-control through Galatians 5:16–23. In a culture that often equates freedom with following our desires, self-control can feel restrictive or even outdated. But what if true freedom is found not in getting everything we want, but in becoming the kind of person who can choose what is truly good? This sermon explores why self-control is essential for human flourishing, why it is increasingly difficult to cultivate, and how the gospel offers more than mere willpower. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the example of Jesus, we’re invited into a life of deeper freedom, transformation, and maturity.

    Gentleness | Pete Nicholas

    Most of us know how to fight. Far fewer know how to restore. In this sermon from the series, "The Power of Good", Pete Nicholas explores the surprising connection between gentleness and justice through Matthew 12:15–21. When strength is often equated with force and outrage, gentleness can seem weak or ineffective. But Jesus reveals a different kind of power, one that restores rather than crushes, and heals rather than condemns. Through the life and character of Jesus, true gentleness is shown not as the absence of strength but strength under control. Because Jesus bore the weight of justice at the cross, we are freed from the need to take it into our own hands. As we experience His gentleness toward us, we are transformed into people who can extend that same gentleness to others.

    Faithfulness | Pete Nicholas

    What happens when we slowly drift away from what is true? In this sermon from the The Power of Good series, Pete Nicholas explores faithfulness through 2 Timothy 4:6–8 and the Apostle Paul’s charge to “keep the faith.” Faithfulness is more than consistency or reliability, it is the ongoing work of aligning our lives with what is true about ourselves, the world, and God. Over time, even small compromises can shape the direction of our lives. We exaggerate our strengths, hide our weaknesses, and build carefully managed versions of ourselves that leave us disconnected from others and distant from God. This sermon explores why faithfulness is a lifelong fight and how the grace of Jesus frees us to live with honesty, integrity, and deeper trust in Him.

    Goodness | Hansol Kang

    Why is it so hard to care for others without ultimately serving ourselves? In this sermon from The Power of Good series, Hansol Kang explores the biblical meaning of goodness through Philippians 2 and the example of Timothy who is marked by genuine concern for the welfare of others. While culture often defines goodness by what benefits the self, Scripture presents something radically different: a life shaped by humble love and rooted in the goodness of God Himself. But this kind of goodness doesn’t come naturally. It flows from knowing the love of Christ, who laid aside power and privilege to serve others. As we grasp the depth of God’s goodness toward us, we’re invited to become people who reflect that same goodness to the world around us.

    Kindness | Pete Nicholas

    Kindness is far deeper than sentiment or good manners. In this sermon from The Power of Good, Pete Nicholas explores the biblical vision of kindness through Titus 3:3–6. Far from weakness or superficial niceness, true kindness is the practice of compassionately and courageoulsy seeking the good of others. Through the kindness of God revealed in Jesus, we see a love that moves toward people with mercy, grace, and renewal. As that kindness reshapes us, we’re invited to become people whose ordinary acts of compassion can bring renewal to others, our communities, and even the world around us.
