  • May 4, 2025 Sermon - Transformed By Grace
    2025/05/02

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Transformed By Grace!

    Today, we’re stepping into one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible-Acts 9:1-18. It’s the moment when Saul, a man who despised Jesus and hunted His followers, meets the risen Christ and becomes Paul, the greatest missionary the world has ever known.

    Here’s the thing: this isn’t just a history lesson. This story is about transformation. It’s about how Jesus meets us in our mess, redirects our path, uses others to guide us, and calls us to live boldly for Him.

    Maybe you’re here feeling stuck, far from God, or unsure of your purpose. Or maybe you know someone who seems too far gone. Acts 9 shows us that no one is beyond Jesus’ reach.

    God’s power to change lives is real. Think of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly-same creature, new life. That’s what Jesus does.

  • April 27, 2025 Sermon - I Just Don't Know!
    2025/04/25

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    I Just Don't Know!

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring a sermon titled “I Just Don’t Know,” based on John 20:19–31. We’ll unpack the story of Thomas, often called Doubting Thomas, and discover how his struggle with doubt led to a powerful confession of faith.
    This message reminds us that occasional doubts are a normal part of the Christian journey, but they don’t have to shipwreck our faith. Instead, God meets us in our uncertainties with compassion, guiding us to trust Him more deeply.
    We’ll discuss why believers experience doubt, how to address it practically, and why doubting doesn’t make you a terrible Christian.

  • April 13, 2025 Sermon - The Savior We Need
    2025/04/11

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Not the King They Wanted, But the Savior They Needed

    This week we begin one of the most sacred seasons of the church year—Holy Week. And it all starts with Palm Sunday, a day filled with shouts of “Hosanna!” and palm branches waving like banners of hope. But what kind of King is this, riding on a donkey’s colt? And what does His arrival really mean for us today?

    The message you're about to hear is titled “Not the King They Wanted, But the Savior They Needed” based on John 12:12–19. We’ll take a close look at Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem—what it revealed, how it fulfilled prophecy, and how it still speaks to our hearts. This passage reminds us that while people were looking for political power, Jesus came to bring peace, grace, and eternal salvation. And the truth is, that kind of King often surprises us.

  • April 6, 2025 Sermon - Straining Toward The Goal
    2025/04/04

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Straining Toward The Goal

    Today’s message comes from Philippians 3:12–21, a section of Scripture that is full of urgency, direction, and deep encouragement. The Apostle Paul is writing here from a Roman prison cell, but don’t picture a man who’s given up. This isn’t the voice of someone defeated by the world. It’s the heart cry of a man whose eyes are fixed on heaven, and whose feet are still pounding the pavement of faith.

    Let me ask you something—Have you ever felt like you're just trying to keep up? Like life is pulling you in a dozen directions, and spiritually, you’re not where you thought you’d be by now? Maybe you’re battling discouragement, or you feel stuck in the past, wondering if God could still use you.

    In today’s message, we’ll walk through five key truths from Philippians 3. You’ll hear Paul say, “I haven’t arrived, but I press on.” We’ll talk about how to keep moving forward when life weighs heavy, how to let go of both past regrets and even past victories, and how to live with a mindset that reflects where our true citizenship lies—in heaven, not here.

    We’ll see how Paul’s call isn’t about polishing ourselves into perfection—it’s about pursuing Christ with resolve. It’s about walking together as a church family, refusing to settle for the distractions of this world, and living with our eyes on the glorious hope that Jesus is coming again.

  • March 30, 2025 - The Joy Of Forgiveness
    2025/03/28

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    The Joy of Forgiveness

    Have you ever felt crushed under a burden you can’t quite name? In this episode, we dive into Psalm 32 with David, a man who knew the soul-crushing weight of unconfessed sin all too well. Picture him as a weary traveler, lugging a backpack stuffed with rocks—regrets, secrets, guilt—each step heavier than the last. He tried to ignore it, to keep walking as if nothing was wrong, but inside, it was tearing him apart. We’ll explore how that hidden load doesn’t just stay hidden—it festers, draining your vitality, haunting your quiet moments, and pressing down with a heaviness that feels inescapable. Sound familiar? Let’s unpack what it means to carry what we were never meant to bear.

    But here’s the twist—David’s story doesn’t end in despair. When he finally stops running and confesses to God, he finds something astonishing: not judgment, but freedom. Not rejection, but a joy so deep it spills into song. We’ll walk through his journey from silence to confession, from misery to relief, and discover the three key aspects of forgiveness that turned his groaning into gladness—sin lifted, covered, and erased from the record. This isn’t just ancient poetry; it’s a lifeline for anyone wrestling with a past mistake or a secret shame. What could happen if you brought your own rocks to God? Spoiler: it’s not what you might fear.

    So, what’s the way out of the weight? Confession isn’t just a duty—it’s a doorway to peace, protection, and a life reframed by grace. We’ll dig into how David’s honesty with God didn’t just free him from guilt but brought him into a shelter where storms can’t touch him—a hiding place surrounded by songs of deliverance. This episode isn’t about wallowing in regret; it’s about trading the backpack for a shout of joy. Whether you’re feeling the ache of concealed sin or just curious about what forgiveness really feels like, join us as we ask: Are you ready to let go of what’s crushing you and step into the lightness God’s been waiting to give?

  • March 23, 2025 Sermon - The Watchman's Call
    2025/03/21

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    The Watchman's Call

    What if your life’s purpose was more urgent than you realized? What if God had placed you as a watchman—a voice calling out truth in a world heading for destruction?

    In this episode of Serving Jesus Christ, we dive into Ezekiel 33, a passage that is more than history—it’s a wake-up call for today. We’ll explore what it means to stand as watchmen, to proclaim the gospel boldly, and to understand God’s heart for repentance. Because righteousness isn’t about where we’ve been—it’s about where we stand before God today.

    And in the end, when we stand before Christ, what will He say? Will we hear those long-awaited words: Well done, good and faithful servant?

    Join us as we unpack this powerful passage and challenge one another to faithfulness. Don’t miss it!

  • March 16, 2025 Sermon - Finding Peace In The Presence Of God
    2025/03/14

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Finding Peace In The Presence Of God

    Have you ever felt like the walls are closing in? Maybe it’s the slow grind of money troubles-your paycheck stretched thin, bills piling up like a mountain you can’t climb. Or perhaps it’s a friend’s cutting words, leaving you raw and wondering who you can trust. Maybe it’s those restless nights when sleep won’t come, and your mind spins with "what ifs" and "if onlys." I know that I have experienced most of these!

    We’re not so different from David, are we? We live in a loud world-TVs shouting, phones pinging, social media buzzing with opinions and outrage. It’s a time when people chase likes and trends like they’re gold, while hope feels scarce and faith gets a side-eye. This means that faith-whether in God, in people, or in something else-is being met with skepticism or suspicion.

    But Psalm 4 crashes into that noise like a lifeline, tossed from an ancient king to you and me right here, right now.

    It says there’s a God who hears us when we call, who claims us as His own, who can steady our shaky hearts and give us peace when everything else falls apart.
