Week 24 - Justice, Mercy & the Mess of Our World - Jason Tingle

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Our world is loud, divided, and constantly outraged. Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone has a biblical worldview. This message helps believers step out of the echo chambers and into God’s heart for justice …truth with grace, conviction with compassion, courage without cruelty. When we see the world’s mess through God’s eyes, we stop reacting like the culture and start responding like Christ. This sermon calls the church to be people of justice, mercy, and humility in a world desperate for all three. SERMON SCRIPTURE: Micah 6:8; Luke 10:25–37; Isaiah 1:17

Week 23 - Work, Calling & Money - Jim Smith

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Most people spend half their waking life at work but rarely stop to ask, “What does God think about what I do every day?” This message reframes work as worship, calling as mission, and money as stewardship …not stress, status, or survival. When we see our jobs through God’s eyes, even Monday morning becomes holy ground. This sermon challenges believers to stop chasing success and start pursuing faithfulness in every task, paycheck, and opportunity. SERMON SCRIPTURE: Colossians 3:23–24; Proverbs 16:3; Matthew 6:19–21

Week 21 - Living Out a Biblical Worldview - Travis Bennett

SERMON SYNOPSIS: We live in a world that feels fractured… morally, relationally, spiritually …and Scripture tells us why: sin broke what God created good. This message confronts the reality that sin doesn’t just damage our behavior; it distorts our worldview. It twists how we think, how we see ourselves, how we treat others, and how we interpret truth. This sermon calls believers to stop blaming culture for everything and start examining the sin within. When we face the truth about our brokenness, we can finally experience the freedom, clarity, and healing that only Christ can bring. SERMON SCRIPTURE: Romans 1:21-25 and 3:23; Genesis 3:6-7, Jeremiah 17:9, James 1:14-15

SERMON SYNOPSIS: We live in a world that feels fractured… morally, relationally, spiritually …and Scripture tells us why: sin broke what God created good. This message confronts the reality that sin doesn’t just damage our behavior; it distorts our worldview. It twists how we think, how we see ourselves, how we treat others, and how we interpret truth. This sermon calls believers to stop blaming culture for everything and start examining the sin within.

Week 18 - Made in God’s Image - Travis Bennett

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Our world is confused about identity… who we are, what we’re worth, and why we exist. But Scripture cuts through the fog with one powerful truth: we are made in the image of God. This message reminds the church that identity isn’t earned, invented, or achieved …it’s received. When we understand the Imago Dei, we stop living from insecurity and start living from Christ’s purpose for life. This sermon calls believers to reject cultural distortions, embrace God’s design, and see themselves…and others…with the dignity God has given. SERMON SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:26–28; Psalm 8

Week 17 - God’s Word as Truth - Travis Bennett

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Every life is built on something… opinions, emotions, culture, tradition, or truth. This message calls the church to anchor its worldview in Scripture alone. God’s Word is not one voice among many; it is the voice that defines reality. When Scripture becomes our lens, confusion clears, direction comes, and our faith becomes unshakeable. This sermon challenges believers to confront the influences shaping their thinking and to return to the authority of God’s Word as the foundation for everything. SERMON SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105

Week 16 - Fearless Future - Jason Tingle

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Peter stands before the crowd at Pentecost, proclaiming resurrection with boldness. The Spirit has come, and fear has fled. This message explores how resurrection reorients our future—giving us courage, clarity, and hope. We are not defined by what we fear, but by who we follow. Because Jesus lives, we live with purpose. The future is not something to fear—it’s something to proclaim. Memory Verse: Acts 2:24 — “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death…”

Week 15 - Fearless Grace - Travis Bennett

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Peter is still carrying the weight of denial. But Jesus doesn’t shame him—he feeds him breakfast and asks three simple questions: “Do you love me?” This message explores how resurrection grace restores what fear tried to destroy. Jesus doesn’t just forgive—he re-calls, re-commissions, and reaffirms. Resurrection means our worst moments don’t define us. Grace does. Memory Verse: John 21:17b — “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Week 14 - Fearless Witness - Travis Bennett

SERMON SYNOPSIS: The disciples are hiding behind locked doors, paralyzed by fear. But Jesus walks in anyway—bringing peace, breathing the Spirit, and sending them out. This message explores how resurrection turns fear into mission. We don’t have to wait until we feel brave to be sent. Jesus meets us in our fear and says, “Peace be with you… as the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” Memory Verse: John 20:21 — “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
