  • THE CHAOTIC 12: The Gospels S4E5 / Luke 6:12-19 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/04/20

    One of the greatest lies the enemy tells believers is this: Wait until you’re better… then God can use you.


    Wait until your prayer life is stronger.

    Wait until your marriage is healed.

    Wait until your finances improve.

    Wait until your confidence grows.

    Wait until your theology is cleaner.

    Wait until you stop struggling.


    But Heaven says something completely different: I call you first… then I shape you.

    In this powerful message from Luke 6:12–16, we uncover the truth that Jesus never called perfect people, He called available people. Before Peter was stable, before Thomas believed, before Matthew was trusted, before John was mature… Jesus called them.

    This sermon will challenge the lie of disqualification and remind you that calling does not come after perfection, calling creates transformation.


    In this message, you’ll discover:

    * Why Jesus prayed all night before choosing His disciples

    * How prayer protects you from wrong people and wrong decisions

    * Why Jesus intentionally chose imperfect, messy, and unlikely people

    * Powerful lessons from all 12 apostles and how they connect to your life today

    * Why authority flows from relationship, not gifting

    * How Jesus gives ordinary people extraordinary spiritual authority

    * Why you are not disqualified because you are unfinished


    From Peter the loud one…

    To Thomas the doubter…

    To Matthew the former traitor…

    To Judas the warning label…


    Jesus built His Church with imperfect people.

    In other words…People exactly like us.


    This is a sermon for anyone who feels unqualified, behind, broken, or not ready. If you’ve ever thought, “Surely God could use someone better than me…” this message is for you.

  • MAD ENOUGH TO KILL: The Gospels S4E4 / Luke 6:1-11 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/04/13

    What happens when holiness is used as a weapon instead of a pathway to God?


    In this powerful and thought-provoking message from Luke 6:1–11, we explore a moment where Jesus confronts a religious system that looked alive on the outside, but had lost the heart of God on the inside. The Pharisees knew Scripture, honored tradition, and guarded the law… yet completely missed God standing right in front of them.


    This sermon dives deep into the tension between religion and relationship, exposing how easily we can become more committed to rules than to people and how Jesus radically redefines holiness as mercy in action.


    In this message, you’ll discover:

    • How to recognize when holiness has become legalism

    • Why Jesus challenged religious systems instead of fitting into them

    • The true meaning of the Sabbath and why Jesus is Lord over it

    • How dead religion prioritizes appearance over transformation

    • Why miracles don’t soften hard hearts, surrender does

    • What it means to move from observing God… to encountering Him


    Jesus doesn’t just reinterpret Scripture, He reveals the heart behind it. And in doing so, He forces a decision every generation must make:

    👉 Will we cling to a version of God we can control…

    👉 Or surrender to the real Jesus who challenges everything?


    If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, legalism, or the tension between truth and grace, this message is for you.


    Jesus isn’t looking for spectators, He’s calling participants.

    It’s time to step out of routine religion… and into real restoration.

  • EASTER / Romans 8:11 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/04/06

    Jesus didn’t drift out of the grave like a myth.

    He was executed publicly. Verified dead. Buried behind a sealed stone with armed guards.


    And everyone thought it was over.


    But three days later… the tomb was empty.


    This isn’t just a story about something that happened.

    It’s a claim about what’s possible right now.


    In this message, we break down the resurrection through three lenses:

    • Inspiring: for those who want to believe

    • Impossible: for those who struggle to believe

    • Irrelevant: for those just trying to survive life


    Because let’s be honest, most people aren’t rejecting Jesus…

    They’re just exhausted.


    But what if the resurrection isn’t about escaping life…

    What if it’s about God stepping into it?


    “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you…” Romans 8:11


    This message will challenge your thinking, confront your doubts, and speak directly to real life, your anxiety, your pressure, your questions, your pain.


    Because if Jesus really walked out of that grave…

    then nothing in your life gets to say, “this is where it ends.”


    The question is simple: What are you going to do with it?


    Let us know in the comments, which one are you:

    Inspiring, Impossible, or Irrelevant?

  • NOT GOOD ENOUGH: The Gospels S4E3 / Luke 5:27-39 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/03/30

    Jesus walks up to a tax collector, drops two words “Follow Me” and everything changes.


    In this episode, we collide three gospel perspectives (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and uncover a reality most people avoid:

    • Jesus will meet you in your mess

    • Call you in a moment

    • And ask for your whole life in return


    This isn’t surface-level faith. This is immediate obedience, total surrender, and uncomfortable transformation.

    • Levi didn’t hesitate.

    • He didn’t negotiate.

    • He didn’t “pray about it.”

    • He got up… and left everything.


    But then Jesus flips the table on religion: While people are arguing about fasting, traditions, and what’s “normal”, Jesus drops a warning that still hits today: You can miss what God is doing now because you’re addicted to what He did before.


    “Old wine is fine…” That mindset? It’ll keep you stuck.


    In this message, we break down:

    • The HEART of Jesus (He calls sinners, not the polished)

    • The MOMENT of discipleship (Delayed obedience is disobedience)

    • The COST of following (You don’t add Jesus to your life—you surrender it)


    And then we go deeper:

    • The danger of “old wine” thinking

    • The lie of “good enough”

    • Why comfort might be killing your calling


    This is your wake-up call.


    If your faith has become routine…

    If you’ve settled into “good enough”…

    If you feel God stretching you but you keep going back…


    This message is for you.

    • Jesus isn’t asking for part of your life.

    • He’s not impressed with your comfort.

    • He’s calling for movement. Now.


    The question is: will you follow… immediately?


    Listen. Share. Respond.

  • WAYMAKER: The Gospels S4E2 / Luke 5:17-32 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/03/15

    In this powerful teaching from Luke 5, we see a faith that refuses to be stopped. When obstacles blocked the way, four men tore through a roof to get their friend to Jesus, revealing that real faith is visible, persistent, and willing to disrupt the ordinary.


    But Jesus does something unexpected. Before healing the man’s body, He forgives his sins, showing that our deepest need isn’t physical, but spiritual. The miracle wasn’t just about restoration; it was about revealing His authority to forgive and transform lives from the inside out.


    Then Jesus calls Levi, a man everyone else had written off, proving that no one is beyond His reach.


    This message reminds us:

    Faith pushes past obstacles, Jesus heals what’s beneath the surface, and the people we often overlook are the very ones He came to save.

  • GATHER & SCATTER: The Gospels S4E1 / Luke 4:31–44 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/03/08

    What does it really mean to belong to a church?


    In this episode, we unpack the heart behind covenant partnership, not as a system or structure, but as a biblical commitment to live, grow, and build together.


    For many, church has felt transactional, optional, or even painful due to past experiences. But covenant partnership reframes it as something deeper: spiritual family with shared responsibility and mission.


    We walk through:

    • 3 common fears about church commitment (and the truth behind them)

    • Why covenant isn’t about control, but love, trust, and accountability

    • The importance of knowing who you’re walking with spiritually

    • How Jesus modeled authority, presence, and mission in Luke 4

    • The power of opening your life for God to move through you

    • Why the church exists beyond itself, to reach the city


    This episode centers around one powerful idea:

    You don’t accidentally build something meaningful, you commit to it.


    Covenant partnership is saying:

    • I’m not just here to receive

    • I’m here to carry, serve, and build


    Final thought: We gather to be formed, so we can scatter to transform.

  • Vision Sunday 2026
    2026/03/01
    VISION + VALUES VISION: As You Go, God Through You.MATTHEW 28:17–20 ISV When they saw him, they worshipped him, though some had doubts. Then Jesus approached them and told them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age.”AS YOU GO: The movement of the believer.The Mission Happens in Everyday Life. Your daily path is your divine assignment.Disciples Are Sent, Not Stationary. The gospel travels at the speed of a willing life.Obedience Begins With the Next Step. God reveals the road to those who take the step.GOD THROUGH YOU: The Authority and Presence of JesusThe Mission Flows From His Authority. The power of the mission is not in the messenger, but in the King who sent him.His Presence Is Our Confidence. When Jesus is with you, you are never outmatched by your assignment.We Are Vessels, Not the Source. God doesn’t look for perfect or gifted people, He looks for available ones.As you go in everyday obedience, God moves through your life to reach people, reveal His presence, and release His power.VALUES: How we live out the vision and missionPRESENCE: We host God’s glory in every moment.PRAYER: We move at the speed of His voice.PROCLAMATION: We boldly make Jesus known.PEOPLE: We build authentic community.POWER: We expect God to Move.OUR UNIQUE EXPRESSIONWhy sometimes our church feels too much for one person and not enough for another.AVL City Church is the bridge between Word and Spirit. This is by design.John 4:23-24 NASB But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.We live in a world where some people are all about the Word of God: Scripture, doctrine, order, theology, clarity. Or what we can call the head.And some people are all about the Spirit of God: power, passion, presence, encounters, movement. Or what we can call the heart.Both are essential. Both are biblical. Both are life-giving.But here’s the challenge: how to get both at the same time and in the same space.Some feel fed by teaching but overwhelmed by Spirit.Some are ignited by Spirit but confused by teaching.And that’s where we live. That’s our tension. That’s our calling.One person may say: “This is too spiritual.”Another may say: “This is not spiritual enough.”Both are seeing truth, just from different lenses. Our role is to hold the balance without compromising either.So what does that mean practically?Our expression, the way we worship, teach, pray, and lead, is intentionally designed to:1. Honor Scripture: because truth matters. The Word is our foundation.2. Honor the Spirit: because God is alive and moving today. Presence matters.This is the tension God calls us to hold: it can feel uncomfortable, but it is necessary.Jesus says the Father seeks “true worshipers” — fully alive, fully informed, fully surrendered.So if it sometimes feels too much or not enough, remember: that’s the bridge we’re building.That’s our expression. That’s the tension we’ve chosen because we’re pursuing the fullness of God in a way that honors both His Word and His Spirit.We want to reawaken the hunger.We want to ask “Did heaven move?” not “Was it good?”People will keep returning where God is not only explained but also experienced.We bring our plan and also our surrender.We build the Altar and wait for the FireWhen we embrace it together, when we hold it in faith and unity, we become the church God intended, a place that disciples, empowers, and moves in both revelation and power.Jesus invites us to activity “Come and See” and “As you go, Make Disciples”.

  • PRAYER: Core Values / John 15:1–8 / Sergio Fesiuk
    2026/02/15

    If prayer is just something you do at church… it will always feel optional.

    But if prayer becomes a core value, it becomes the oxygen of your life.

    In this message from John 15:1–8, we unpack what Jesus really meant when He said, “Abide in Me.” This isn’t about religious routine, it’s about living in constant union with Christ, where prayer flows naturally and powerfully.


    In this teaching, you’ll discover:

    • The 3 types of people when it comes to prayer—and where you fall
    • Why many believers feel dry, stuck, or directionless
    • What it truly means to abide (μένω / menō) in Christ
    • How pruning is God’s investment, not His punishment
    • Why fruit is the evidence of real connection—not just activity
    • The truth about answered prayer in John 15:7
    • How to build a daily rhythm of prayer that actually transforms your life


    This message will challenge shallow Christianity and call you into something deeper:

    • Not performing for God
    • Not praying out of habit
    • But living in communion with Him


    Key truth: We don’t move at the speed of our plans… We move at the speed of His voice.


    Prayer isn’t:

    • Just asking for things
    • Just solving problems
    • Just a spiritual discipline


    Prayer is:

    • Sitting with God
    • Listening to Him
    • Loving Him
    • Being transformed by Him


    Ask yourself: Are you truly connected to the Vine… or just going through the motions?
