Gathering House

Gathering House kicks off our Dear Church series with a letter straight from Paul’s heart in Galatians. This message cuts through the noise of checklists, expectations, and cultural pressure to remind us: the Gospel isn’t about proving yourself — it’s about belonging. Pastor Aj unpacks what it means to live free, take your seat at the table, and show the world a faith that breaks chains instead of building fences. If you’ve ever wondered if you really belong, this is the sermon you can’t miss.

This one will hit your heart and light a fire in your soul. In the final message of our Kingdom of Heaven series, Pastor Aj challenges us to stop admiring the Kingdom and start advancing it. From seeds in the soil to nets in the water, Jesus has been inviting us not just to understand—but to act. This is the moment we stop waiting and start moving. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or unqualified—this message will remind you that Heaven is waiting on you.

In this powerful look at the final parable in the Kingdom parable series, Pastor Aj brings a raw and revealing look at the Parable of the Net in Matthew 13. With prophetic clarity, humor, and a handful of sticky notes, he challenges us to stop labeling and start casting. This message isn’t about judgment — it’s about humility, inclusion, and obedience. If you’ve ever wondered who belongs in the Kingdom... you might want to check what’s in your hand. Listen now and get ready to drop the net.

Sometimes the most valuable things in life don’t come wrapped in glitter—they’re buried in dirt. In this powerful message, Pastor Aj unpacks two short parables that hold massive weight: a hidden treasure and a pearl of great price. Whether you’ve stumbled upon the Kingdom or searched for it your whole life, this teaching will challenge you to ask: what is it worth to you? Don’t miss this call to surrender, rediscover value, and live like the Kingdom is everything.

This week at Gathering House, Pastor Aj brings a challenging and freeing word from one of Jesus’ most misunderstood parables—the field with both wheat and weeds. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because you’re doing everything “right” and still facing resistance, this message is for you. What if the weeds in your life aren’t there to ruin you—but to grow you? This one will reframe how you think about Kingdom living in a messy world. Take a breath… and let it grow.

What if the Kingdom of Heaven isn’t something we’re waiting for… but something waiting to break out through us? In this message, Pastor Aj takes us deep into two of Jesus’ shortest—and most shocking—parables. With mustard seeds, yeast, and sixty pounds of flour, Jesus unveils a Kingdom that starts small, spreads quietly, and includes the people we’d never expect. This isn’t a story to admire. It’s a Kingdom to carry. So… will you plant it? Will you knead it? Will you bring it?

There’s a difference between being surrounded by the Word and being transformed by it. In this message, Pastor AJ opens the parable of the sower in a way that’s raw, layered, and personal. It’s not just about what was sown—it’s about what’s growing inside of you. This isn't just a story about seed and soil; it’s about your heart, your hunger, and how the Kingdom of Heaven is ready to break in through your life. Don’t just listen—dig.
