  • Cultivating Gratitude - Receiving Life as Gift, Not as Entitlement

    Cultivating Gratitude - Receiving Life as Gift, Not as Entitlement
    2025/11/02
    Gratitude isn’t just good manners — it’s a way of seeing the world.

    This Sunday we begin our new series Cultivating Gratitude, exploring what it means to receive life as gift, not entitlement.

    From behind barbed wire in an internment camp to the martyr’s stake at Smyrna, we’ll see how the grace of God can form hearts that give thanks in all things.

    Join us in worship as we learn to see — and live — through the lens of faith that sees and receives everything as gift.

  • How Can They Believe Without Experiencing New Creation?

    How Can They Believe Without Experiencing New Creation?
    2025/10/26
    What if freedom was declared over your life—but you didn’t yet know how to live free?

    This Sunday we'll explore the transforming power of new creation in Christ.

    Paul says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” But how do we live as new people in a world still shaped by the old?

    In this sermon you’ll discover:
    🌱 What it means to perceive God’s new creation breaking into your life
    🤝 How to pursue reconciliation as ambassadors of Christ
    🙏 A simple rhythm—BLESS—to live as agents of renewal in your neighborhood

    Freedom was declared in a moment. Learning to live it takes a lifetime.
    Let's look at how the gospel doesn’t just inform our lives—it transforms our way of being human.

  • How Can They Believe Unless They See Love?

    How Can They Believe Unless They See Love?
    2025/10/19
    In a world full of noise and opinions, how can people see that the message of Jesus is real?

    This week’s sermon, “How Can They Believe Unless They See Love?” challenges us to live in a way that makes the gospel visible.

    💬 “Love is the credential that makes our proclamation of the gospel of Christ credible.”

    When the church truly loves like Jesus, people start to see what words alone cannot show. Love that serves. Love that sacrifices. Love that unites.

    Join us as we explore three powerful truths:
    1️⃣ Love visualizes the gospel
    2️⃣ Love displays the ways of the cross
    3️⃣ Love provokes and invites

    What if our love was so real that it made people stop and see Jesus in us?

    📍 Text: John 13:34–35

  • How Shall They Believe? Part 2

    How Shall They Believe? Part 2
    2025/10/05
    “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?”
    Paul’s question in Romans 10:14-15 presses us to ask another: what kind of gospel are people hearing from us?

    Many today have heard a version of the gospel that’s thin—private, abstract, or reduced to a ticket to heaven. But the Gospel Paul preached was far richer: the announcement that in Jesus Christ, God’s rule has broken back into the world. It’s the good news of a crucified, resurrected, and reigning King who is restoring all things.

    This Sunday we’ll explore that “really good gospel”—the one that produces not consumers but disciples, not mere belief but the obedience of faith.

  • How Can They Believe? Part 1

    How Can They Believe? Part 1
    2025/09/28
    🎙️ Sermon Title: How Can They Believe?
    📍 Text: Romans 10:14–15
    🗂️ Series: How Can They Believe?
    Speaker: Jerry Cisar


    ✨ “The church must show the gospel. We cannot remain a silent picture.”

    In a culture shaped by noise, outrage, and spectacle, how can we faithfully proclaim the gospel? Romans 10 confronts us with a haunting question: “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?”

    This message explores the power of gospel words — not as a substitute for actions, but as their essential companion.

    “Evangelism is always show and tell. It's never just tell.”

    This isn’t a call to preaching on corners — it’s a call to live and gossip the gospel with courage, humility, and clarity.

    Join us in the first of our series on what it means to share the Gospel.

  • Playing the Long Game (Part 13: Cultivating Peace)

    Playing the Long Game (Part 13: Cultivating Peace)
    2025/09/21
    “Love of enemies is not a weakness of personal character but a heroic power of the soul and the initiation of the divine model.” - Franz Jagerstatter

    We know that the Gospel compels us to seed and promote peace, but how does that model work?

    Join us as we explore patience, kindness, mercy, and how the slow work of peace inevitably claims victory where conventional power never can.

  • Conquering in the Sight of the Lamb (Part 12: Cultivating Peace)

    Conquering in the Sight of the Lamb (Part 12: Cultivating Peace)
    2025/09/14
    Have you ever wondered if your ordinary, everyday life really makes a difference? Or if the hidden moments of your week and the hardships you face have any lasting impact in God’s story?

    Paul reminds us in Romans 8 that nothing—not trouble, hardship, or even the grind of daily life—can separate us from God’s love. And Revelation paints a powerful picture of God’s people conquering in a way that looks nothing like the world expects.

    We’ll continue our series Cultivating Peace: A Witness of Reconciliation in a World of Division with Conquering in the Sight of the Lamb. Romans 8:31–39; Revelation 1:4–6; Revelation 12:10-12.
