The message, The Gift of Forgiveness, explores how Jesus offers forgiveness, not as something we earn, but as a life-changing gift. It contrasts mistakes—accidental errors—with sin, a deliberate rebellion against God. Using Romans 5 and 7, the sermon examines sin's reality, power, and our inability to save ourselves. Through Adam, sin and death entered the world, but through Jesus, grace and life abound. Forgiveness is costly—Jesus bore our debt through His death and resurrection. The message challenges listeners to swallow their pride, admit their need, and receive this gift that restores us to God and transforms our lives.

Everyone is searching for purpose! Discover four aspects of the purpose Jesus offers: it’s for the ordinary, it can feel overwhelming, it’s empowered by the Holy Spirit, and it requires a faithful response. God’s purpose is not for the elite but for all, as shown through Mary’s story. Jesus’ purpose often feels too big but is made possible through the Spirit. True purpose comes when we surrender to God’s will. Jesus came to bring a purpose that can’t be found in anything else—offering salvation, eternal life, and a life lived for His kingdom.

This Christmas season, Blaze Church explores The Gifts of Christmas, beginning with the gift of God's Presence. Through Jesus, God chose to be with us, walking in our joys and struggles, offering peace, comfort, and forgiveness. Matthew 1:23 and Psalm 139 reveal God's intimate nearness, even in our mess. By confessing sin, prioritizing time with Him, engaging in worship, and reflecting on Scripture, we can embrace His presence daily. Christmas reminds us that through Jesus' sacrifice, God is always with us, calling us to draw near. Let’s eliminate distractions, embrace His grace, and experience the fullness of "God with us."

In Beating Burnout, Part 3 of the Peace of Mind series, we explore how chronic stress can lead to emotional, physical, and spiritual exhaustion. Using Elijah’s journey in 1 Kings 19, we identify four decisions that contribute to burnout: overexertion, isolation, negative thinking, and forgetting God. Yet, God’s response to Elijah’s despair is compassionate, offering rest, nourishment, and His gentle presence. The message concludes with Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28-30, calling the weary to experience His unforced rhythms of grace.

What are you ruled by? In the story of the twelve men who were sent to report on the conditions of the land of Caanan, ten of them came back with a perspective that was based in fear. Two of the men had faith and a positive outlook. They all saw potential, but most of them refused to take the risk. For you to function at your best, you need to step out, trust God and take a risk. When you are ruled by only what you see in front of you, you miss out on what God is saying and doing. But if you look past what is right in front of you, you will see the promises of God! Will you choose to be ruled by fear or faith?

This message in the Peace of Mind series explores anxiety and how to find peace. Facing overwhelming odds, Jehoshaphat sought God, fasted, gathered his community, and prayed with full dependence on the Lord. When we feel anxious, we are invited to turn to God in similar ways: through intentional prayer, fasting, and relying on supportive, faith-filled community. Ultimately, this sermon reminds us that our battles belong to God, and we can worship Him with confidence, knowing He is in control and His peace is available to us.

In the first message of the Peace of Mind series, we examine Jesus’ teaching on worry, rooted in trusting God as our Father. Jesus tells us not to worry because God, our loving Father, knows our needs and values us deeply—more than even the birds He provides for. When we forget this relationship, we fall into “value amnesia,” doubting our worth and security. Jesus calls us to seek God’s Kingdom first, surrendering control and finding peace in knowing that our Father cares for us.

In this sermon titled "Living in the End Times," part of the You Asked For It series, the message addresses common misconceptions about the end times, emphasizing hope over fear. Drawing from Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4-5, it explores the biblical context of Jesus’ teachings on the destruction of the temple and His eventual return. The message encourages living as "children of light," ready for Christ’s second coming without trying to predict dates. The sermon concludes with a call to action through the Landmark Vision and communion, symbolizing the hope of Christ’s return and His future kingdom.

In this message, we celebrate Blaze Church's incredible journey since 2015, reflecting on God's miraculous work in our community. Sharing our faith is not just a "good thing" for followers of Jesus to do — it is a command of Jesus. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore practical steps to notice people, recognize their needs, and take action to make Jesus known. You'll also hear an exciting vision for the future, including our Landmark renovation project, building a church in Uruguay, and supporting church renovations in France. Together, we'll commit to advancing God's Kingdom through faith and generosity.

As parents, we must remember that our children belong to God. We must be intentional about teaching our children and we need wisdom! In this message, we look at the book of Exodus where Moses’ parents had to make a big decision and trust God. We'll discover how to apply this truth in our own homes. Whether you are a parent or not, this message will encourage and strengthen your faith in God to trust Him always!
