Seeing Jesus clearly

Send out the 72

What if the people around you are more open to God than you think? In Luke 10, Jesus reminds us that the harvest is plentiful, then sends His disciples out as messengers of His kingdom. This message explores how prayer shapes us, how God sends us into everyday places, even uncomfortable ones, and how the gospel is the announcement that Jesus, a new kind of King, has come near to heal and restore.

The Servant Master

This week Pastor Ashish preached on the Servant Master out of Luke 12. Jesus challenges our picture of God by showing a Master who becomes a servant. Greatness, power and humility looks different with Jesus. In a stunning the Master comes home from the feast and puts on an apron for servants in the middle of the night. We are called to mirror Jesus in how we lead our lives, teams, families, people. Mirroring the ultimate master who became a servant.

Martha’s Kitchen, Mary’s Heart

In this sermon, Pastor Luis walks us through the passage of Luke 10:38–42 and invites us to notice not who we are like—but how we are living. This message isn’t about choosing work over worship—it’s about order, rhythm, and attention. Are we so busy in the kitchen that we miss Jesus in the living room? Come hear how Jesus teaches us to receive first, serve second, and return often—so we don’t serve from emptiness, but from presence.

The Party Crasher

Pastor Ashish preached a message called Party Crasher about what it really means to honor Jesus. You can invite Him into your life and still keep Him at arm’s length, or you can let gratitude and forgiveness turn into wholehearted worship. Everyone is in debt to grace. The difference is whether you are aware of it. When you know how much you have been forgiven, love flows freely. When you forget, faith becomes small and self-centered. True faith is not about what Jesus can do for you. It is about what you give Him. When your faith becomes Jesus-centered, worship becomes extravagant.

Season 1

Dinner with Sinners

Guest preacher Pastor Josh Butler preached on “You Must Be Important”. In 2 Samuel 9, King David shows extravagant kindness to Mephibosheth, someone who had every reason to expect rejection, not welcome. An enemy’s descendant. A man in a low place. Yet David pulls him to the table and treats him like family. Pastor Josh reminded us that this is what God is like: A kind King who moves toward people, not away from them. A King who rewrites stories. A King who says, you matter more than you think. No matter what your past has told you, a new story is possible through King Jesus. And it starts with this truth: you must be important.

Through the Death Vally

Pastor Ashish preached from Psalm 23 with a message about walking through the valley. He reminded us that sheep are not strong or self-sufficient. They are needy, vulnerable, and easily lost, just like us. And yet they are never abandoned by the Shepherd. He taught us about the wadi, the dark and dangerous valleys where life feels most uncertain. Places of fear, instability, and hidden threats. But even there, God does not leave us. The Good Shepherd stays close. He protects. He guides. He corrects with love. Pastor Ashish invited us not to rush past God’s Word but to soak in it, to let it steep deep in our hearts until it brings clarity and life. No matter how dark the valley feels, you are not alone. The Shepherd is with you.

Mary: A Song of Trust

Mary is told she’s “highly favored” and blessed, and her life is immediately disrupted. In Luke 1, we see that God’s grace doesn’t always bring comfort, but it calls us into God’s greater story. This Sunday, we explored how God changes the world through surrendered lives. Come hear how your surrendered life is part of what God is doing in the world.

Simeon: Waiting on God

Today, Pastor Ashish preached from Luke 2:25-35 about Waiting on God from the life of Simeon. Simeon was an ordinary, righteous man living in Jerusalem who was waiting for the consolation of Israel. He was not waiting for circumstances to improve, but for God to fulfill what He had promised. Simeon had no title, no timeline, and no control over the outcome, yet he remained faithful. When the Holy Spirit led him to the temple and he finally held Jesus, Simeon declared that he could depart in peace, because God had delivered on His word. Three things that Simeon's life reveals about waiting on God: First, waiting on God tunes our ears to the Spirit. Luke emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit throughout Simeon’s story. His waiting was attentive, not rushed. Over time, waiting sharpened Simeon’s ability to recognize the Spirit’s prompting and to recognize Jesus when He arrived. In the same way, waiting trains believers to slow down, listen, and respond to God’s guidance. Second, waiting on God breaks our need to be in control. Simeon received a promise without a plan or a timeline. Waiting exposed the illusion of control and invited trust instead. God detoxes our need for control while we wait for Him. Third, waiting on God brings us to a place where Jesus is enough. After a lifetime of waiting, Simeon did not ask for more, he was ready to die. His contentment revealed a mature faith shaped by waiting. We get to not waste seasons of waiting. God uses waiting to form hearts, deepen trust, and form a settled soul that can confidently say, “Jesus, You are enough.”

Angels: A Song of Peace

In this preaching Pastor Luis explores the peace the angels announced in Luke 2—the kind of peace that doesn’t wait for life to calm down, but steps right into the middle of our chaos. Peace has a name… Jesus. He brings peace to our minds, our relationships, our world, and even our wounded hearts. And He sends us out as peacemakers in a divided world. If you’re hungry for clarity, calm, and God’s presence this Christmas—this message is for you.
