As we conclude our months-long walk through Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, Pastor Joel brings us to Paul’s final admonition: “Finally, brethren… rejoice.” In this closing passage, Paul offers a five-fold call to both do and be—a reminder that the Christian life is active, intentional, and shaped by the grace of God.This sermon explores:* The paradox of the cross—God’s power made perfect in our weakness* The difference between temporary happiness and eternal, Spirit-filled joy* How rejoicing enables us to be made complete, comforted, like-minded, and at peace with one another* Why biblical joy flows not from circumstances but from fixing our eyes on Christ* How the God of love and peace remains with us—even in our weaknessAs we remember Advent and the God who is with us, we’re invited to walk in a rejoicing that transforms our hearts, shapes our community, and builds up the body of Christ. May this word strengthen you as you follow Jesus in the power of His Holy Spirit, becoming and building the Christ-centered Kingdom Community God desires.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this message, Pastor Joel brings us to the final chapters of 2 Corinthians, where Paul reveals one of the central purposes behind his endurance, sacrifice, and perseverance: the upbuilding of the church. Drawing from themes of weakness, grace, and the call to edify others, this sermon explores how God meets us in our struggles—not always by removing our thorns, but by empowering us through them.As we look at Paul’s example, we are challenged to consider how we can build up the people around us. What burdens can we help carry? How can we rejoice in the successes of others? Where might God be calling us to spend and be expended for someone’s soul? This message invites us into the heart of Christ-centered community—one that reflects the love, strength, and grace of Jesus at work in us.In this sermon, we reflect on themes such as:* Paul’s purpose in enduring weakness—for the church’s upbuilding* God’s grace meeting us in our weakness* The call to build up rather than tear down* Rejoicing in the strengths of others* Praying for and supporting one another toward spiritual maturity* Using our God-given influence, gifts, and authority for the good of others* Living out the mission of a Christ-centered Kingdom Community🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this week’s message, Pastor Joel explores one of the most paradoxical and life-giving truths of the Christian walk: God’s power is most fully revealed in our weakness. Drawing from Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 12, we look honestly at the thorns, distresses, and challenges we face—those places where our strength fails but Christ’s strength is made perfect.Together, we consider:* What Scripture means by “a thorn in the flesh”* Why God allows weakness, distress, and difficulty in the believer’s life* How His grace meets us when we come to the end of ourselves* What it looks like to embrace weakness so that the power of Christ may dwell in usThis message invites us into deeper humility, greater dependence, and a richer experience of God’s grace as we pursue becoming and building the Christ-centered Kingdom Community God desires us to be.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this week’s message, Pastor Joel leads us through Paul’s powerful reminder that the Kingdom of God turns our values upside down. While our culture prizes strength, success, and credentials, Paul teaches that God displays His strength most clearly through our weakness.Drawing from 2 Corinthians 11–12, we explore:* Paul’s willingness to be misunderstood for the sake of the Gospel* The contrast between worldly boasting and boasting in the Lord* How suffering, humility, and weakness become the very places God reveals His power* What it means to lay down self-confidence and embrace Christ-centered dependence* How our affluence and comfort can become spiritual barriers unless surrendered to ChristThis sermon challenges us to rethink what we count as “strength.” As Paul shows through his hardships, imprisonments, and even supernatural experiences, everything finds its true value only when it points to the greatness of God—not ourselves. In weakness, God is glorified. In weakness, we truly come to know Him.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this week’s message, Pastor Joel leads us through Paul’s powerful reminder that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but are mighty through God. We’re called to face life’s challenges—conflict, criticism, and hardship—not with anger, reason, or control, but with spiritual weapons like love, prayer, generosity, and the Holy Spirit’s power.Paul also teaches that each of us has a God-given sphere of influence—a unique place of calling and purpose that the Lord has appointed for us. When we live within that calling and engage spiritual battles in the Spirit, God’s light and love reach far beyond what we could ever imagine.* Let us be reminded to boast not in ourselves, but in the Lord who gives grace, power, and purpose.* Let us walk in the Spirit, bringing His weapons of peace and faith into every area of conflict.* Let us awaken each morning with the conviction that God has placed us in this moment, for such a time as this.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this week’s message, “Divine Jealousy,” Brandon takes us through 2 Corinthians 11:1–6 to unpack the powerful truth of God’s passionate, protective love for His people. Paul’s “godly jealousy” for the church in Corinth mirrors the heart of God — a deep desire to guard His children from deception and draw them back to the purity of devotion to Christ.Brandon challenges us to consider whether we’ve lost that divine jealousy — that burning care for the lost, for our families, and for those drifting away from truth. Through Scripture and personal testimony, we’re reminded that the true gospel of Jesus Christ is simple, pure, and life-transforming. As believers, we are called to stay rooted in God’s Word, walk in repentance, and let His Spirit reignite a holy passion within us.* Do we have a godly jealousy that compels us to pray, fast, and intercede for others?* Are we guarding our hearts and minds from the false gospels of today?* Will we let God rekindle our love for the lost and our hunger for His truth?Let this message inspire you to return to the heart of the gospel — a love that fiercely pursues and never gives up.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joel explores the heart of biblical generosity — not as an obligation, but as an expression of trust and faith in a limitless God. Drawing from Paul’s words to the Corinthians, we learn that true giving reflects the very nature of our Father: decisive, generous, and cheerful.Paul reminds believers that “God gives seed to the sower” — meaning, He provides resources not to those who hoard them, but to those who use them to bless others and advance His Kingdom. As followers of Christ, we are called to mirror God’s generosity:* To give decisively — following through on good intentions with faithful action* To give generously — trusting that everything we have comes from an infinite source* To give cheerfully — joyfully offering our time, talent, and treasure to honor GodWhen we live with open hands, God multiplies not just our provision but the harvest of righteousness in our lives. Generosity becomes worship — and through it, thanksgiving and glory overflow to God.🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.
