Is it possible for a nation’s heartbreak to become the birthplace of hope?

In this powerful sermon from Jeremiah 7, Pastor Matt delivers a timely message that speaks to both personal and national pain. Through the lens of the prophet Jeremiah’s grief, we’re invited to wrestle with a sobering reality: it’s possible to desire God’s blessing while ignoring His call to justice, love, and care for the vulnerable.

As America grapples with deep division and broken systems, this message challenges us to see heartbreak not as the end—but as the place where healing begins. When our hearts break, they open. And in that open space, God moves.

You’ll be encouraged to bring your grief, questions, and weariness to Jesus, the one who still heals, still restores, and still calls His people to be a light in the darkness.

If you're longing for hope in the middle of pain, this sermon is for you.

Are you truly surrendered—or just going through the motions?

In this message, Pastor Leonce unpacks the difference between genuine faith and transactional belief, using the tragic story of a gifted evangelist and the account of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8. While many profess faith, serve in church, and even exhibit spiritual passion, true transformation only happens when belief leads to full surrender.

If you’ve ever struggled with control, performance-based faith, or wondered what it really means to surrender your life to Christ, this message is for you.

Have you ever felt like the world is falling apart and God is silent? In this powerful message, Pastor Matt walks through the story of Stephen in Acts to remind us that even when life feels hopeless, God is still moving — and His plan is unstoppable.

Through rejection, suffering, and even death, God’s glory breaks through. What looked like an ending for Stephen was actually the spark of something greater. This message will help you see that God is not limited by circumstances, and He can use your lowest moments to lead you into unstoppable purpose.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, discouraged, or unsure of where God is, this is your invitation to surrender, step into community, and join what God is doing — right here, right now.
