With Us – Week 2: “With Us in Our Fear”
Isaiah 41:10–13; Psalm 139:5

Fear is something we all know—but Advent meets our fear with a promise: God is with us.

In Week 2 of the Advent series With Us, Pastor Kevin looks at what it means to trust God’s nearness when anxiety feels loud, circumstances feel fragile, and the future feels uncertain. Through Isaiah’s words to a fearful, displaced people and David’s prayer in Psalm 139, we see that God’s answer to fear is not a pep talk—but His presence.

This message reminds us that God does not shout “fear not” from a distance. He comes close, takes us by the hand, strengthens us, helps us, and holds us steady. We are not unseen, unheld, or alone—we are hemmed in by grace.

If you’re carrying fear about your health, finances, family, or future, this message will help you hear Advent in a deeper way: Immanuel—God with us, even in our fear.

With Us – Week 1: “Where Are You?”
Genesis 3:8–11

Advent isn’t just about lights, carols, and sentiment—it’s about a God who comes looking for people who are hiding. From the very beginning of the Bible, God’s footsteps are moving toward us, not away from us.

In this first message of our Advent series With Us, Pastor Kevin takes us back to Eden, where Adam and Eve hear the sound of the Lord walking in the garden and then try to disappear among the trees. Instead of storming in with condemnation, God’s first words to fallen humanity are a question full of grace: “Where are you?”

You’ll see how hiding still shows up in our lives—through shame, fear, performance, and withdrawal—and how the heart of God has not changed: He comes near, He calls our name, and He invites us out of the bushes and back into relationship.

This message will help you hear Advent in a new way: as the fulfillment of those first footsteps in the garden—God with us in our hiding, our fear, and our distance, moving us toward hope, healing, and Gospel Hospitality.

First Things First – Week 3: “What Happens When I Give?”
2 Corinthians 9:6–11

In the finale of First Things First, Pastor Kevin takes us to one of the clearest generosity passages in Scripture—2 Corinthians 9:6–11—to show what actually happens when we give.

This isn’t about pressure; it’s about formation. Scripture teaches that giving isn’t just a financial act—it’s a spiritual shaping force. When we live open-handed instead of fear-handed, God forms us into people who trust Him first, love Him deeply, and reflect His character.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Giving stretches your faith by teaching you to trust God more than fear.
• Giving makes you more like Jesus, the God who gives.
• Giving shapes your future through the spiritual law of sowing and reaping.

As we step toward our Legacy Offering, we’re not giving toward a budget—we’re planting seed into the future God is building in us, in our church, and around the world.

First Things First – Week 2: “Why Should I Tithe?”
Mark 10:17–27

Money is one of the clearest windows into the human heart. In Week 2 of First Things First, Pastor Kevin teaches on one of the most foundational practices in Scripture: the tithe.

Through the story of the rich young ruler, Jeremiah’s warning about our hearts, and Malachi’s call to return to God, we learn that tithing isn’t about losing money—it’s about ordering our lives around trust. The tithe brings our finances under God’s leadership, breaks the power of fear and self-reliance, and opens us to the freedom of living in God’s design.

This message helps us understand why the tithe matters, what Scripture actually teaches, and how putting God first transforms more than our giving—it transforms us.

Tithing is not about what God wants from you.
It’s about what God wants for you.

When the End Is Really the Beginning – Week 5: “The Eternal Kingdom”
Revelation 21:1–6, 22:1–5

The story doesn’t end with destruction—it ends with renewal.

In the series finale of When the End Is Really the Beginning, Pastor Kevin unpacks the final vision of Revelation: heaven and earth made one. The Lamb reverses everything Adam lost, and the story that began in a garden ends in a city filled with God’s presence.

This message reminds us that eternity doesn’t start later—it’s already forming us now. This life isn’t a waiting room for heaven; it’s a workshop for reigning.

You’ll be encouraged to live with the culture of heaven—choosing holiness over compromise, stewardship over selfishness, and worship over worry.

The good news of the end times? Of His Kingdom, there will be no end.

Baptism Sunday: Grace Gives You a New Address
Romans 6:1–11, Revelation 7:13–14

Baptism isn’t just symbolic—it’s a declaration that grace has changed your address.

In this special Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Kevin steps out of the Revelation series to show how the same story of redemption, restoration, and renewal continues in the waters of baptism. Drawing from Romans 6 and Revelation 7, this message reveals what happens when grace moves in—guilt loses its power, shame loses its voice, and you begin living from a new location: the country of grace.

You’ll be reminded that baptism pictures death and resurrection—burial of the old self and rising to new life in Christ. Grace doesn’t just forgive; it relocates you. It gives you a new name, a new identity, and a new home.

This message will renew your gratitude for God’s grace and invite you to live as someone who has truly moved—from guilt to grace, from striving to rest, from death to life.
