Coastline Covenant - Sermons

We have a recurring problem with our practice of prayer. We believe we should pray. And we believe we should receive prayer. But we don't trust in the power of prayer enough. We struggle to trust that prayer is powerful and makes a difference. When our prayers are answered, it often feels like coincidence. Yet, Daniel 10 gives us a fascinating picture of what is really happening behind the curtain of this world, when you and I pray. Come join us as we learn to trust in the power of prayer. 

In Daniel 7, we see a vision of monstrous kingdoms rising from the sea, only to be silenced by the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man. This message reminds us that even when the world grows darker and more beastly, God’s throne remains unshaken and Christ’s kingdom will never end.

Daniel’s integrity and faithfulness transformed a corrupt system and protected a king from loss—not through politics or power, but through the quiet strength of a Spirit-shaped life. His unshakable devotion revealed that a relationship with God is not transactional but transformational, pointing forward to the ultimate rescue found in Christ.

Belshazzar’s feast in Daniel 5 ended in judgment, but Christ invites us to a different table—the Lord’s Table—where bread and cup bring forgiveness, mercy, and hope through the Spirit.

In Daniel 4 we see the incredible reach of God to change a heart that is fickle and uninterested in others. We see a king move from insane selfishness and arrogance, to humble worship of God. If our God can do this, there is no one out of his incredible reach and power to change a heart. What does this encouraging truth mean for us? Come join us this Sunday as we catch a fresh vision of the incredible reach of our God. 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue. Today, our idols may be subtle—careers, comfort, reputation, even good things made ultimate. This sermon explores how to live faithfully in a secular world and bow only to Christ.

Daniel 3

In a week of fear and uncertainty, Daniel 2 reminds us that kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s kingdom endures forever. When violence and dread shake us, we learn from Daniel to stay calm, seek community, and cry out to God in prayer. The stone that topples empires is Christ himself—our hope and our help in troubled times.

In Daniel 1 we see that God calls His people to live as faithful exiles—resisting sinful desires, holding fast to godly character, and bearing witness through lives that reveal His Spirit, even in a hostile culture.

Pastor Garrick comes back from sabbatical and shares about the three words God impressed on his heart during his time away: Passion, Patience and Purpose.

In John 20, Jesus breathes on his disciples and opens their minds to understand the Scriptures. Just as God breathed life into Adam, Jesus breathes new creation life into us through the Spirit. This sermon explores what it means to move from spiritual blindness to spiritual sight—learning to see, think, and listen like Jesus. Growing in the Spirit is not a destination but a posture: living open to God’s presence, his power, and his glory.
