Pastor David preached on the call of every believer to run their God-given race with endurance by fixing their eyes on Jesus. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10 and Hebrews 12:1–2, he emphasized that our identity and placement in life are God’s design, not our own choice. We are God’s workmanship, created for good works prepared in advance, and we must resist distraction and covetousness to focus on Christ. Using vivid illustrations from horse racing blinders, personal family moments, and God’s multiplied grace, he reminded the church that while valleys and trials come, the race is marked out for each of us, and victory is found by staying fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Pastor Sincere unpacked Jesus’ radical call to discipleship, showing that following Him is not about comfort but surrender. Using Matthew 8 and Luke 14, he explained that many want the benefits of Christ without the cost of obedience. One man was too quick to follow without understanding the sacrifice, while another delayed because of family obligations. Both missed the priority of Christ’s call. True discipleship means letting go of idols, security, and divided loyalties, trusting that what we gain in Christ far outweighs anything we lose.

Elder Eric Lucas shared a message from Matthew 11:28–30, reminding the church that Jesus invites the weary and burdened into His rest. Using the story of Mary and Martha, he contrasted striving in our own strength with the peace found in relationship with Christ. He emphasized the need to rightly discern seasons of labor and rest, remaining yoked to Jesus so that our work flows from intimacy with Him rather than self-effort. Rest, he explained, is not inactivity, but Spirit-led refreshment that empowers Kingdom service.

In this message, Pastor David teaches that walking on water isn’t just a miracle story, it’s a prophetic pattern for the Christian life. As Jesus called Peter to step out in faith, God is calling His people to rise above fear, culture, and comfort. This new Kingdom Age isn’t marked by church spectatorship but by Spirit-empowered sons and daughters who bring heaven to earth. With a bold mix of truth and the gifts of the Spirit, believers are invited to shift from survival mode into supernatural mission, to stop watching from the boat and start walking by faith.

In this compelling message, Pastor Jim Anderson speaks from Judges 6 on the calling of Gideon and connects it to the call of God on each of our lives, especially in a generation marked by moral confusion and sexual brokenness. Drawing from his personal testimony, his work on identity and purity, and his recent trip to Taiwan, he emphasizes the urgent need for spiritual deliverers who are grounded in identity and peace. Pastor Jim addresses the war on men and the confusion around masculinity, offering a vision of manhood and womanhood that reflects God’s design. He urges the church to confront cultural lies with compassion, revelation, and truth, raising up a generation of sons and daughters who live as restored, called, and courageous deliverers

Pastor Sincere Cardona continues in the Gospel of Matthew, picking up in chapter 8 to highlight the healing ministry of Jesus. Focusing on the accounts of the leper and the centurion, he teaches that both men demonstrate sincere faith—faith that trusts in Jesus’ authority to heal. The leper approaches Jesus with reverence and boldness, fully convinced of Jesus’ power but submitting to His will. The centurion, a Roman outsider, astonishes Jesus with his recognition of divine authority, believing Jesus could heal with just a word. Pastor Sincere challenges extremes—those who treat God like a vending machine and those who deny His ongoing power—and calls the church to hold healing in “humble expectation.” Above all, he reminds us that every healing points to the greater wholeness to come, and that the greatest healing is the forgiveness of sin through Christ.

Elder Travis Nolt shares a deeply personal testimony of being delivered from fear-based religion into the freedom of sonship in Christ. Raised in a conservative Mennonite community, Travis grew up in a culture of silence, performance, and strict moral codes, yet struggled inwardly with fear, shame, and an unclear view of God’s love. Though baptized at 14, it was not a baptism of repentance, but one of obligation. Everything began to change when his parents encountered the Holy Spirit, and he reluctantly agreed to attend a small youth conference in a Pennsylvania cabin. There, the Spirit of God met him powerfully, breaking years of internal bondage. Through worship, teaching, and the love of Spirit-filled believers, Travis encountered the tangible presence of God and knew for the first time that he was a beloved son. Romans 8 came alive as he walked into a Spirit-led life no longer ruled by condemnation. This testimony is a call for all who have known religion without relationship to embrace the freedom of life in the Spirit.

In this message, Pastor Sincere Cardona unpacks what it means to live with godliness as members of God's household. Drawing from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, he emphasizes that the issue with the church is not “out there” but begins with us. The house of God is not an abstract concept—it’s embodied in the local church where believers are called to reflect the character of God in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Pastor Sincere distinguishes true godliness from external religiosity and challenges the congregation to be transformed from the inside out by grace-empowered obedience, rooted in sound doctrine and reverence for Christ.

In “The Untrodden Path,” Pastor David Engelhardt draws from Joshua 3 and Revelation 1 to challenge believers to step into uncharted territory with bold faith. As the Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan, God commanded them to walk forward—even before the waters parted. Pastor David likens this to the Church’s current moment: a crossing into greater authority, influence, and responsibility as kings and priests of God. He emphasizes that obedience must precede breakthrough and that faith often requires action in advance of clarity. Pastor David also shares a prophetic update about stepping into a new season of media influence for the Kingdom. The call is clear—God is raising leaders who will not follow the well-trodden road, but blaze a trail of righteousness, excellence, and dominion through faith.

On this Sunday, Eric Metaxas joined Pastor David Engelhardt in an interview-style message focused on the final Beatitude: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.” Metaxas shared his reflections on the current cultural hostility toward biblical morality, the erosion of American identity, and the call for Christians to embrace spiritual courage. Drawing from both Scripture and his deep historical knowledge, he contrasted biblical righteousness with modern cultural compromise and emphasized the need to live unashamed of the gospel. Christians are called to walk boldly in the truth, knowing persecution may come—but so will reward.
