Explore "A Response to Hope," drawn primarily from Romans 8:18-27. The sermon teaches that the sufferings of this life are incomparable to the future glory awaiting believers. This ultimate hope—a ticket to full redemption from the presence of sin—demands an active response. The sermon outlines three essential steps for living in faith: Work daily toward spiritual stewardship, Wait eagerly with confidence, praise, and presence, and Pray for strength and alignment with the working of the Holy Spirit in your life.
The sermon, titled "I Get Joy When I Think About What He's Done For Me," draws inspiration from David’s Song of Thanksgiving in 1 Chronicles 16. It encourages listeners to give a full testimony, detailing God's works, from our downfalls, and to our deliverance. The core message is that it's okay to brag on God and remember His active, covenant promises. As "king's kids," believers are covered by God's protection in all situations, allowing them to praise God continually for what He has done, what He is promising, and what He will do. Sing your song of thanksgiving today!
We can be so focused on mission, so focused on our to do list, that if we are not called into mandatory worship at a set-aside time, then we may not ever come in from the field. We’re kingdom minded but our spirit is still out in the field. We want to please God but we’re still afar off. We love God, but we are operating without Him. We’re driving rather than resting in the passenger seat, and so God calls us in from the field, in from places where we are spiritually afar and He commands worship, praise, fellowship and rest.
Today's sermon challenges listeners to be unashamed of the gospel of Christ in "Living Out Loud For The Gospel". Based on Romans 1:16-17, the sermon emphasizes that the gospel is the power of God to salvation for all who believe, revealing the righteousness of God is from God—not generated by our own works. Because we stumble, we must go "from faith to faith", and make our repentance as loud as our praise. This message urges believers to live their faith publicly and seek restoration when we fall short.
"Where Is Your Samuel?" explores the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel, chapter 1. Hannah faced misery and barrenness, yet remained faithful to worship despite severe grief. Instead of self-medicating, she poured out her anxious soul to God at the altar, receiving a divine appointment and peace before her dream was realized. Learn how Hannah persevered from heartache to high praise. The central challenge is this : Is your Samuel (your dream and blessing from God) now consecrated and serving the Lord, just as Hannah gave back her son?
"Giving With Purpose" uses the Old Testament text of Exodus chapters 35-40 to discuss the concept of sacrificial and purposeful giving. The message explains how God requested a free will offering of materials and skills from the Israelites to construct the Tabernacle, highlighting that God is the architect and designer who only asked for resources already in the congregation’s possession. Ultimately, the sermon pivots to a New Testament view of a free-will offering, urging listeners to freely give their lives to Jesus and allow Him to dwell in the tabernacle of our hearts, thereby fulfilling His purpose for our lives.
The sermon, "We Are Designed To Help," draws on 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, emphasizing that while there are varieties of gifts, they come from the same Spirit and Lord. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and uniquely designed by God. These unique giftings are not for our individual benefit, but are manifested by the Spirit for the common good of the entire Church. When we commit to using our talents, God strategically deploys us to achieve His will in the earth.
This sermon, "Prayer For Peter," draws from Acts 12 to challenge the church to engage in earnest prayer for the other. Earnest prayer is defined not by energy, but as continual prayer and prayer without ceasing, grounded in faith. Focusing on redemption and restoration from harmful cycles, the message urges us to pray for the thousands held captive today. Peter's story illustrates that God’s deliverance is carefully planned, breaking chains and providing clear instruction. Listeners are called to follow divine guidance and walk in the holy mission designed for their lives.
In "Preparing For Action," the sermon examines 1 Peter 1:13–25, urging believers toward a purpose-filled life. We must prepare our minds for action and be sober-minded. This means keeping our minds available to the call of the Holy Spirit so we can receive what God is speaking. We are called to be different, available, consistent, and seen as witnesses. Our hope rests fully on Christ’s grace and the precious blood that ransomed us. We find daily strength in the living and abiding word of God.
The sermon, “Never Fading,” is based on 1 Peter 1:3-5. The message confronts our human tendency to rely on fading memories of past church experiences. Peter shifts our focus, revealing that salvation, granted by God’s great mercy, is an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. Stop trying to recreate the past! True revival is always accessible by tapping into the unfading inward work of the Holy Spirit that abides within us right now. Rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.
