Politics can feel exhausting, divisive, or impossible to escape — but how should Christians actually engage with the world of government and power? When exploring the tension between earthly authority and ultimate allegiance to Christ, we see a vision for faithful citizenship that neither idolizes politics nor withdraws from it. In a culture tempted to place its hope in leaders and institutions, we’re reminded where true hope is meant to rest. Listen to this sermon as Andrew Smith unpacks what it means to honor authority while keeping Christ at the center of our loyalty.

In a world shaped by outrage and division, it’s easy to believe that revenge is the only path to justice. But the gospel offers a radically different way — one that confronts wrongdoing honestly while refusing to let bitterness have the final word. Through life’s hardest challenges, we’re invited to see how forgiveness can break cycles of hurt and open the door to something unexpected and healing. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores what it means to love not only our neighbors, but even our enemies.

The kind of community we long for is real, but it looks nothing like what the world typically offers. When we turn to Scripture, we see a radically different vision of relationships, where love is genuine, self-giving, and strong enough to endure both joy and pain. This vision challenges the way we approach others, inviting us into a deeper, more honest, and more sacrificial way of living together. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how receiving Christ’s love can reshape the way we love one another.

Watch this sermon as Jason Harris invites you to discover a life transformed from the inside out.

On the cross, something far more than a tragic death took place — it was a moment that sent shockwaves through all of creation. Darkness falls, the earth shakes, and the temple curtain tears, revealing a Savior who steps into judgment, abandonment, and suffering in our place. In that moment, Jesus breaks the power of sin, lifts the curse, and opens the way for new life with God. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how the death of Jesus changed everything — and why its power still reaches into our lives today.

A single kiss in the garden exposes both betrayal and the fragile nature of the human heart. While Judas hides hypocrisy and the disciples falter in fear, Jesus stands firm, choosing the path of suffering out of love. In their failure, we see both a warning about our own weakness and a hope in Christ’s unshakable faithfulness. Listen to this sermon as Twaambo Moyo unpacks what Jesus’ betrayal reveals about our hearts and the Savior who remains faithful.

In a world overflowing with options — status, power, and community — it’s easy to build your life around things that promise everything but ultimately leave you empty. Jesus’ surprising act of cursing a fig tree becomes a warning: Even good things can become destructive when they take his place. What looks full and flourishing on the outside can, in reality, be spiritually barren at the root. Listen to this sermon as Jay Harvey reveals why only Jesus can truly satisfy — and what happens when we make anything else our “fig.”
