When evil seems to be winning, trust God's bigger plan. 🙏

In this sermon, we dive into the second part of the "Growing Pains" series, focusing on the challenges and responsibilities of spiritual leadership. This sermon emphasizes that spiritual maturity is a process, not a destination, involving letting go of old habits, facing trials, and choosing obedience to God over personal feelings. The sermon uses Joshua's story as an example, highlighting his faith and courage in stepping into leadership after Moses. By trusting in God's timing and unconventional methods, such as the conquest of Jericho, believers can grow in faith and rely on God's strength to bear the weight of leadership.

Join us for an insightful Christmas sermon titled "Is It Worth It?" where we explore the profound meaning behind the gifts the wise men presented to Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

This message emphasizes the importance of faith, knowing God's word, and recognizing Jesus as the greatest gift. Experience a journey through biblical prophecy, the significance of worship, and the power of true devotion.

Stop searching in dry places. Let Jesus fill your cup with living water that never runs dry. 🌊

This message explores the story of Jesus healing a man born blind in John 9, revealing how God can use life's messes to create breakthroughs. It challenges the belief that suffering is always punishment, emphasizing that setbacks can be platforms for God's glory. Through the blind man's healing journey, including the unconventional method Jesus used, we learn that true transformation often comes through messy, uncomfortable processes. The message encourages us to trust God through trials, shift our perspective from "Why me?" to "What is God showing me?" and live boldly as a testimony of His power, knowing our identity is in Christ, not our past mistakes.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to 'Believe the Impossible' even when God seems late. The story of Lazarus from John 11 serves as a profound reminder that God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't align with our expectations. We're encouraged to trust that God's delays are not denials, but opportunities for our faith to grow and for His glory to be revealed. Just as Jesus waited four days before raising Lazarus, sometimes our greatest miracles come after what seems like an unbearable wait. This teaches us to persist in faith, knowing that God's timing always has a bigger picture in mind. The message urges us to guard our emotions during delays and to stay at Jesus' feet, like Mary, in both good times and bad. It's a call to deepen our trust in God's love and wisdom, even when circumstances seem hopeless.

Beware the rot of jealousy! 🍎

The sermon "Feeling Lost" focuses on the danger of unbelief, which leads to both physical and spiritual disorientation. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and Numbers 13, it illustrates how the Israelites' lack of faith kept them from entering the Promised Land. The sermon highlights the importance of trusting in God's guidance and provision, as exemplified by Caleb's faith and courage. It encourages believers to focus on God's promises rather than the obstacles, stressing that faith and reliance on God lead to spiritual victories.
