Faith and Victory Church Auburn Sermons

In “The Work is Great,” Pastor Matt Krachunis teaches from 1 Chronicles 29:1–16 during Faith and Victory Church’s anniversary celebration. Looking at David’s charge to Israel before the building of the temple, Pastor Matt reminds the church that the work is great because it belongs to God, not man.

This sermon reflects on the faith it took for Faith and Victory Church to continue for 23 years. Pastor Matt explains that the church was built through belief, sacrifice, consecration, rejoicing, remembrance, and a desire to glorify God. The message honors the sacrifices of God’s people while keeping the focus where it belongs: every provision, every victory, every changed life, and every blessing came from the Lord.

Pastor Matt challenges believers to see church life as more than attendance or giving. The kingdom is built through surrendered people who say, “Here I am, use me.” Whether serving, giving, worshiping, leading, praying, cleaning, teaching, or simply showing up faithfully, the work matters because it is for Christ.

The sermon closes with gratitude and humility. Faith and Victory’s testimony is not that people built something impressive for themselves, but that God did great things through ordinary people who believed the work was worth it because it was for Him.

In “I Will Give You a New Name,” Pastor Crystal Krachunis teaches from Genesis 17:1–8, where God changes Abram’s name to Abraham and reveals the covenant promise that would shape generations. This sermon reminds believers that when God gives someone a new name, He is declaring a new identity, a new purpose, and a new future.

Pastor Crystal walks through biblical examples of name changes, including Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, and Peter, showing that God’s work in a person is more than symbolic. A new name means a changed nature and a life that no longer clings to old sin, old labels, or old excuses. In Christ, we are not called to build our identity around self-expression, but to reflect Jesus in our words, actions, character, and outward life.

This message also highlights the beauty of redemption. Through the blood of Christ, believers are bought back from sin and restored to the Father. We are no longer slaves, no longer orphans, and no longer forsaken. We are redeemed, holy, sought out, and called God’s own. Pastor Crystal encourages the church to live like people who have truly been made new and to proclaim what the Lord has redeemed them from.

How do we raise a generation that loves Jesus and walks in truth? In this message, Pastor Matt Krachunis teaches that raising godly children is not just the responsibility of parents—it is the assignment of the entire church. Drawing from Psalm 78:4–7, this sermon explores the biblical value of children, the importance of godly example, creating a Christ-centered home, loving discipline, consistent discipleship, and building a legacy that impacts generations to come.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, single adult, children's worker, or church member, this message will challenge you to invest in the next generation and help raise children who know, love, and serve the Lord. God has entrusted us with the responsibility of passing the faith forward—and it's worth every sacrifice.

Pastor Lashund Lambert preaches from 1 Samuel 21:10-15, examining David’s fear before Achish, king of Gath. David was already anointed and known by his enemies, yet fear caused him to forget who God had called him to be.

In this message, Pastor Lambert teaches that fear pushes believers toward compromise, while praise redirects the heart toward God’s power and deliverance. Freedom requires repentance, faith in God’s Word, and a willingness to praise the Lord openly in the middle of pressure.

Jesus is our Savior, Healer, Deliverer, Redemption, and Peace. Because He has saved us and set us free, our response should not be silence, but praise.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 21:10-15

In this sermon, “You’ve Got It So Good!”, we look at Hebrews 10:1–18 and the incredible access believers now have to God through Jesus Christ. Under the old covenant, sacrifices had to be offered again and again, but they could never fully cleanse people from sin. The old system was fragile, incomplete, and dependent on human effort. But Jesus came as the perfect sacrifice, offered once for all time. Through His blood, we are forgiven, cleansed, made holy, and given direct access to the Father. This message reminds us not to settle for simply wearing the label of Christian, but to truly walk with Jesus, receive what He has done, and live in obedience to the Father. Because of Christ, we do not have to earn our way back to God. Like the prodigal son, we are invited to return, receive the Father’s love, and walk in restored access as sons and daughters. The question is not only whether we know about Jesus, but whether He knows us. Main Scriptures: Hebrews 10:1–18, John 14:6, 1 John 1:7–9, Hebrews 8:12, Luke 15:17–19,

Pastor Erik Naylor shares how God sustained his family and church through the Lahaina fire before teaching from Acts 4:23–31. When Peter and John were threatened, the early church gathered to pray, worshiping God as sovereign and asking not for ease, but for boldness to keep proclaiming Christ. This message challenges believers to pray together, pray from Scripture, seek God’s face above His gifts, and remain committed to the salvation of the lost.

Scriptures Referenced: Acts 4:23–31; Job 2:10; Matthew 6; Acts 14:22; 1 Peter 4:12–13; Matthew 21:13; Psalm 2:1–2; Matthew 18:19–20.

In “After This the Judgment,” Pastor Matt Krachunis teaches from Hebrews 9:16–28, reminding believers that life is fragile, death is certain, and every person will one day stand before Christ. This message explains that Jesus died once for all to secure forgiveness, salvation, and the promised inheritance of the new covenant. Pastor Matt calls listeners to live with eternity in view, repent while mercy is still available, and trust fully in Christ, who bore sin so that those who believe do not have to face judgment in fear.

In “Love’s Greatest Enemy,” Chaplain Major (RET) Clifford Nueman teaches from 1 Corinthians 13:1–13, reminding believers that spiritual gifts, sacrifice, service, and religious activity mean nothing without the love of Christ. He identifies selfishness as one of love’s greatest enemies, challenging the church to love beyond wounds, anger, fear, preferences, and comfort. This message points to Jesus as the perfect example of love and calls believers to love God fully and let that love shape how they treat their neighbors, enemies, church, and world.

In “How Much More,” Pastor Matt Krachunis teaches from Hebrews 9:1–15, showing that the old covenant system could cleanse outwardly but could not fully cleanse the conscience. Christ entered the true heavenly Most Holy Place with His own blood, securing access to God, forgiveness from guilt and shame, and a clean conscience before the Lord. This message calls believers to stop relying on outward religion and instead walk in the freedom, nearness, and living hope that Jesus purchased, knowing that their past is cleansed, their present has access, and their future inheritance is secured.

In “This Is The Main Point,” Pastor Matt Krachunis teaches from Hebrews 8:1–13, showing that Jesus did not improve the old covenant, He replaced it with a better covenant built on better promises. Through Christ, believers now have direct access to God, complete forgiveness, a new heart, a new identity, and mercy that changes how they live. This message challenges us to stop living by empty religious activity and instead walk in the Spirit, because the relationship created by Christ should produce worship, obedience, holiness, and surrender.
