The last command Jesus gave His disciples before sending them into the world was simple: wait. Not to strategize, not to build programs, but to wait for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. In a culture that hates waiting, this call can feel like weakness or failure. But in God’s kingdom, waiting is where He forms us, fills us, and empowers us.

In this message from our Church on Fire series, Pastor Darren unpacks Acts 1 and reminds us that the Church was never meant to run on talent, vision, or programs alone. We are called to be a people who carry His presence into every corner of life.

If you’ve grown tired of running on your own strength, this is an invitation to slow down, open your hands, and wait for His Spirit.

What was the primary message of Jesus? The answer might surprise you. His focus was not just love or good works but the Kingdom of God. In this message, Pastor Darren teaches what Jesus actually came to do: proclaim the Kingdom of God, heal the sick, cast out demons, and invite ordinary people to live in God’s presence.

The Kingdom is not only a concept to learn about. It is a reality to be experienced. Darren shows how trying to explain it without experiencing it is like trying to describe a song you have never heard. Once you encounter it for yourself, it rearranges your whole life.

If you are searching for what it really means to follow Jesus, to understand the mission of the early church in the book of Acts, or to experience God’s power today, this message will give you clarity and a fresh invitation. The Kingdom is here. Jesus is alive. And He is still doing what He has always done.

Prayer is not about earning God’s attention or proving our devotion. It is about coming home to the Father who already welcomes us. In this message, we explore the second line of the Lord’s Prayer, “Hallowed be your name.” What does it mean to honor God’s name as holy, and why does it matter?

Drawing from scripture, history, and personal story, we are invited to see prayer as both intimacy with God and participation in His mission. God’s reputation has been entrusted to His people, and through Jesus we are called to bear His name with reverence, obedience, and bold prayer.

This teaching calls us to return to the heart of prayer: coming home to God, honoring His holiness, and joining Him in restoring His name in our world.

This Sunday we had the joy of hearing from Amy Hughes, who leads Trinity Church in Nottingham, England, with her husband Johnny. Amy shared her story of encountering God’s love in a life-changing way and taught from Matthew 6 on what it means to approach God in prayer, not as a tenant paying rent but as His adopted child.

She spoke about the freedom that comes when we stop trying to earn God’s attention and instead come to Him as children who are loved, known, and welcomed. Amy invited us to bring every part of our lives to the Father with trust and simplicity, confident that He is good and He hears us.

What if Jesus wasn’t just your Savior, but the one who prays for you?

In this message from our House of Prayer series, Pastor Ramin teaches from Hebrews 4, offering a powerful picture of Jesus as both King and Priest. He is full of authority, but tender in compassion.

Jesus is not distant. He is the High Priest who understands your weakness, who intercedes for you, and who invites you to draw near with confidence. This message is a reminder that God's presence is not reserved for the perfect. His throne is a place of grace for the broken.

Whether you’re weary, waiting, or just trying to hold on, this teaching will help you see Jesus clearly. And when you see him clearly, everything changes.

This is the final teaching in our Revelation series. Pastor Darren walks through the last chapter of the Bible and shows how it’s not just a closing word. It’s a call to live differently now.

Revelation doesn’t point us to escape. It points us to Jesus. The time is near doesn’t mean countdown clocks. It means Jesus is already on the move. The question is: are we living like it?

This teaching gives clear ways to respond:
▪ Burn the bridges back to comfort and compromise
▪ Live like heaven has already started
▪ Step into your everyday life with courage, love, and urgency
▪ Carry the name of Jesus into dark places
▪ Stay awake, stay faithful, and keep saying yes

Jesus is present. He’s coming. And he’s inviting us to live like it.

Come, Lord Jesus.

This week, Pastor Bill Dogterom continues our series in Revelation with a message that takes us to the edge of language and the center of God's heart. As John’s vision unfolds in Revelation 21, we see not just what is to come, but who God is. This is a picture of restoration, not replacement. A city. A temple. A bride. A home. Every curse broken. The presence of God as our light.
It is not about decoding the details. It is about becoming the kind of people who can live in this kind of place.

Revelation doesn’t end in fear or fire. It ends in renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Ramin walks us through the vision of a new heaven and a new earth, where God makes His home with us and nothing is wasted. Not your pain. Not your waiting. Not your obedience. This is a message for anyone who feels like the ground has been shaking beneath them. When heaven breaks in, hope isn't just possible. It's the story we live in now.
