Guest speaker Michael Jones explores the powerful motivation behind the Apostle Paul's ministry from 1 Corinthians 9: "for the gospel's sake." He challenges believers to embrace their personal responsibility in sharing the good news by examining the necessary sacrifices. Using the imagery of a disciplined athlete competing for an eternal prize, Jones illustrates why we should willingly set aside our personal freedoms and conveniences. This message calls every Christian to build bridges, understand the people they are trying to reach, and be prepared to step out of their comfort zone, all for the ultimate purpose of winning others to Christ.

Pastor Dorrell examines Numbers chapter 3, exploring the divine organization of Israel around the Tabernacle and the specific role given to the Levites. This detailed structure highlights a crucial principle: God must be the center of our lives. Using the Levites' duty to guard the Tabernacle and the sobering account of Nadab and Abihu offering "strange fire," this message challenges the modern tendency toward a casual, self-styled faith. It calls us to consider how we approach God, urging a return to reverent, thoughtful, and sincere worship that is rooted in the truth of God's holiness, not our own comfort or preference.

In this message from the book of 3 John, Isaac Mardirosian examines what authentic Christianity looks like in our daily lives. By contrasting the faithful charity of Gaius with the prideful preeminence of Diotrephes, he illustrates how our treatment of others, especially missionaries and fellow believers, is a direct reflection of our personal relationship with God. The sermon challenges us to move beyond simply knowing the right words to truly knowing the Shepherd, urging listeners to faithfully demonstrate their love for God by actively encouraging and supporting fellow helpers of the truth.

In this message, Pastor Dorrell examines the principle of sacrifice from 1 Corinthians 9, explaining that for the gospel to advance, a "necessary transaction" must occur. Using the apostle Paul as the ultimate example of one who gave up everything to "gain" others for Christ, this sermon investigates the cost of missions. Pastor Dorrell challenges us to consider what personal comforts or resources we are willing to set aside so that people around the world might have the chance to hear the good news and be saved.

Continuing the series in the Book of Numbers, Pastor Dorrell examines the specific, orderly instructions God gave for the Israelite encampment in chapter 2. This detailed arrangement around the central Tabernacle reveals a core attribute of God: He is a God of order, not chaos. This principle of divine structure extends from the precise balance of the universe to the design for our own lives. Pastor Dorrell explores how applying this concept of keeping God at the center brings necessary order to our personal walk, our families, and our commitment to the local church, ultimately challenging us to consider what truly sits at the hub of our lives.

In this concluding message from the series on Proverbs 4, Pastor Daniel examines the practical application of living a life of wisdom. Building on the foundational instruction to "keep thy heart with all diligence," this sermon unpacks Solomon's advice on how to guard the control center of your life. Discover three critical areas that require intentional focus: the words you speak, the direction of your gaze, and the path your feet take. Learn how making conscious, deliberate choices in your communication, focus, and actions can lead to an established life that is secure, honors God, and prepares you not just for today, but for eternity.

In our Christian freedom, it's easy to focus on our rights and what we are permitted to do. But what if true spiritual maturity is found in willingly setting those rights aside? Pastor Dorrell examines 1 Corinthians 9, where the Apostle Paul uses his own life as a powerful example of deference. Paul gave up his right to financial support, choosing to work and even go hungry, so that nothing would stand in the way of the Gospel's message for the Corinthian church. This sermon introduces the principle of "relative sacrifice," challenging us to consider how we can live for something bigger than ourselves. It is a call to intentionally lay down our preferences and comforts for the well-being of others and the advancement of the Gospel, reminding us that we are running a race not for a temporary prize, but for an incorruptible crown.

In this introduction to the Book of Numbers, Pastor Dorrell examines the often-overlooked story of Israel's 40-year journey in the wilderness. Using the analogy that after the "wedding" at Sinai comes the "marriage," this sermon explores the real-life journey of faith with all its challenges. Focusing on the census in the first chapter, the message unpacks God’s call for His people to be counted, signifying a universal expectation of commitment and participation. This sermon challenges believers to embrace the responsibility that comes with being part of God's family, highlighting that the rewards of belonging, fellowship, and shared victory far outweigh any sacrifice required.

In a world where we meticulously protect our phones with cases and screen protectors, do we show the same diligence in guarding our hearts? Continuing in Proverbs 4, Pastor Andrew focuses on one of the most vital commands in scripture: to guard your heart above all else. Using powerful analogies of an unlatched gate and a water filter, he illustrates how the heart is the source from which our entire life flows. This message explores the practical ways we can tune our ears to God's voice, treasure His Word as a filter for life's impurities, and actively protect ourselves from the influences that seek to contaminate our souls. It’s a stirring challenge to "check the gate" of your heart, because what you allow in will ultimately determine the direction of your life.

In this message, Pastor Dorrell addresses the complex topic of Christian liberty using 1 Corinthians 8 as a guide. He explores the historical conflict in the Corinthian church over eating meat sacrificed to idols to reveal a timeless principle: knowledge must be governed by love. While we may have the freedom to do something, our choices must be filtered through a consideration for how they affect others. This sermon offers practical guidelines for navigating modern "gray areas," challenging us to exercise our freedom not just based on what is permissible, but on what is loving and edifying to the church body.
