In Romans 9:14–18, Paul gives voice to the protest in every human heart: “That’s not fair!” In this sermon, Pastor Ian shows us why God’s freedom to show mercy is never unjust, how our cry for “fairness” reveals our desire for control, and how the cross becomes the ultimate “unfair” exchange—Christ condemned so we could be forgiven. The unfair beauty of the gospel is this: mercy has the final word.

You can have every spiritual privilege — the right heritage, the right habits, the right theology — and still miss the only One who can save you. In Romans 9:1–5, Paul’s anguish over Israel reminds us that God’s gifts are meant to point us to Christ, not replace Him.

In this message, Pastor Ian unpacks the danger of confusing proximity to God’s things with intimacy with God Himself, and invites us to trust not in our résumé, but in the true Advantage — Jesus Christ, who was cut off so we could be brought in.

Romans 8 opens with a truth statement: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." But what does that mean for us? The first portion of Romans 8 emphasizes our life in the Spirit and that God has given us everything we need to live freely for Him.

What if the very thing that wounded you… is the thing God wants to use to transform you?

In this message, Ptr. Ian walks through the powerful story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32. From the confrontation in the dark, to the breaking of what Jacob leaned on, to the blessing that came through surrender, this isn’t just a story about Jacob. It’s a story about all of us.

If you’ve ever found yourself wrestling… limping… or wondering where God is in the struggle, this is for you.

You’ve crossed the stage. You’ve thrown the cap. But now what?

In this timely and encouraging message, Pastor Wendell delivers the kind of pep talk every graduate needs—one that goes deeper than hype and speaks to the heart. Whether you're stepping into college, a career, or the unknown, this message will remind you that you’re not alone, you’re not disqualified, and you’re not done yet.

Tune in for real talk, biblical truth, and a powerful reminder: God doesn’t just call the qualified—He qualifies the called.

Why do we still struggle with sin—even after coming to Christ? In this honest and hope-filled message from Romans 7:7–25, we step into the tension of the Christian life: the ongoing battle between the flesh and the Spirit. The Apostle Paul doesn’t hold back—he shares the raw reality of wanting to do what’s right but constantly falling short. Sound familiar?

This sermon reminds us that the struggle doesn’t mean failure—it means you’re alive. And more importantly, you’re not alone. Jesus is with you in the fight, and He’s already won the war.
