An Easter sermon on Matthew 28:1-15 exploring the resurrection as the ultimate revelation of where true authority lies. Through the empty tomb, Jesus invites everyone to come and see the evidence, receive freedom from every chain, and live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus entered Jerusalem as the promised King, yet instead of celebrating like an earthly conqueror, He wept over those who did not recognize the peace He came to bring. This message calls believers to worship Christ deeply, trust His finished work, and share His compassion for the lost.

Romans 8 confronts the difference between life in the flesh and life in the Spirit. In this sermon, guest Pastor Gary Moore calls believers to stand on Christ’s finished work, embrace ongoing surrender and repentance, and pursue true discipleship through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hidden guilt and secrecy weigh the soul down, but the gospel invites believers into the light of Christ. Jesus did not come to condemn but to save, and the Holy Spirit stands as Advocate against the accuser’s lies. In Christ, confession becomes a pathway to freedom because Jesus truly paid it all.

With everything he knew, the Apostle Paul chose to anchor his entire message to one truth: Jesus Christ and him crucified. This sermon explores why the cross remains the center of the gospel, how it satisfies both justice and mercy, and why our job is not to argue people in but to testify faithfully and trust the Spirit to do the rest.

In the final message of the Marks of a Disciple series, reconciliation is both God's work in us and God's mission through us. In 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Jesus makes us new and commissions us as ambassadors to carry this message: be reconciled to God through Christ.

Following Jesus reshapes humility, priorities, and what we do with what God has entrusted to us. This message calls believers to resist short-term thinking and live as faithful stewards who serve with joy. Where your treasure goes, your heart follows, so invest in what lasts for eternity.

True disciples of Jesus are marked by a servant's heart. Drawing from Mark 10, Matthew 25, and Matthew 6, this message explores how following Christ means using our influence to serve others rather than ourselves, and how faithful, joyful service brings eternal rewards and delight to the Father.

In week two of the Marks of a Disciple series, the focus turns to small group accountability. Christianity was never meant to be a solo pursuit. Drawing from Colossians 3 and Hebrews 10, this message explores why the people we walk with shape who we become, and why Jesus himself chose community over self-sufficiency.

Discipleship begins with a personal relationship with Jesus, and that relationship is sustained through personal worship. Learn the difference between praise and worship, why true worship is “in spirit and truth,” and how guarding quiet time with the Lord leads to faith, freedom from distraction, and fruit that lasts.
