November 07 How to Defeat Discouragement
Feeling stuck under the weight of discouragement? Like nothing is changing no matter how hard you try?
In Exodus 6, God speaks into the middle of Israel’s crushing bondage—and what He says still speaks straight into the places where we feel most hopeless.
This message walks through five powerful truths that can shift how you face whatever is draining your faith right now. It’s more than information, it's an invitation to exchange your burden for something better.

October 31 Balancing Faith and Works
Many people are confused about how faith and good works fit together. In this message from James 2:14-26, we see that Paul answers “How is a person saved?” (by grace through faith alone), while James answers “How do you know your faith is real?” Works don’t produce salvation; salvation produces the works, and those works are the evidence that our faith is genuine.

October 03 The Challenge of Sincere Love (Part 1)
What does it look like to love people sincerely? In James 2, we’re challenged to look beyond appearances, status, influence, or what someone can offer us—and instead see people the way God does.
Sincere love values people for who they are, not for what they can do for us. In this message, we explore what sincere love looks like and why God calls His people to love without favoritism.

August 22 "Growing in the Grace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - Part 2"
In Part 1 we saw that eternal life is a real, intimate relationship with Jesus—not just religious activity—and we began looking at the essential habits that help us grow in that relationship.
This week Pastor Kent continues the series by teaching the remaining habits of holiness and then pulls everything together into a simple, practical training plan you can actually live out. These practices are designed to shape your soul so that, over time, you respond to life more and more like Jesus would.
Watch Part 1 first if you haven’t already, then jump into Part 2.
